Similarly, I was never a fan of Magnum, P.I. (1980-88), the Hawaii-set private eye series starring Tom Selleck. Just as my mother adored Murder, She Wrote, my father was a big Magnum fan but I just wasn't interested. However, as with Murder, She Wrote, in recent years certain aspects of the series intrigued me. Particularly, the series has roots in two earlier shows I like a lot: The Rockford Files (1974-80), where Tom Selleck's two guest appearances as slick P.I. Lance White help sell Selleck as a rising talent and anticipated his Magnum role, and from which some of Magnum's staff (notably writer-producer Chas. Floyd Johnson and composers Mike Post & Pete Carpenter) were culled; and from Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980), the filmed-in-Hawaii cop show whose local production team largely moved over to the Magnum unit when that series ended.
Magnum, P.I. - The Complete Series repackages season sets released during 2004-08. It's ultimately a much cheaper route than buying them piecemeal, and unlike Universal's dreadful double-sided DVD-18s, discs unplayable much of the time, the entire series is presented here on single-sided discs. Unusual for an older series, the set includes subtitle options in French and Spanish, as well as numerous bonus features, including a sampling of other Universal-owned shows.
Unlike Murder, She Wrote, Magnum, P.I. was the creation of prolific but unoriginal producer Glen A. "Larceny" Larson and the somewhat more reputable Donald P. Bellisario, the latter being the creator or co-creator of Air Wolf, JAG, and NCIS, as well as the interesting Quantum Leap. Selleck's character initially was based closely on the absurdly suave Lance White, who in his two Rockford Files appearances essentially spoofed the effortless perfection of most TV private eyes. Selleck, a big Rockford fan himself, disliked the character as originally conceived, and helped steer Magnum toward a more comical, off-kilter approach.
On Oahu, Hawaii, Thomas Magnum is a private investigator living in the guesthouse of mysterious, never-seen millionaire author Robin Masters, the large estate, Robin's Nest, maintained by Jonathan Higgins III (John Hillerman), a cultured former British Army Sergeant Major (though despite popular assumption, Hillerman is in fact a Texan). The laid-back Magnum casually picks and chooses his cases, though like Jim Rockford he's often drawn into investigations he'd normally avoid and which cause him no end of grief. Magnum often draws on the resources of Robin's Nest, notably Masters's Ferrari 308 GTS, and this initially annoys Higgins though gradually the two develop a warm if outwardly begrudging friendship.
Magnum's other friends and associates include T.C. Calvin (Roger E. Mosley), a helicopter charter pilot whose vehicle Magnum often commandeers while island-hopping, and Rick Wright (Larry Manetti), who operates a local drinking joint, the beachside King Kamehameha Club. Both, like Magnum, were part of the same Marine observation squadron (VMO-2) that served during the Vietnam War, and episodes often refer back to that period of their lives.
Harking back to the great private eye novels and films of the 1930s and '40s, most every episode is narrated by Magnum, though in a more casual, less literary contemporary style. The series gradually became surprisingly experimental, with Magnum often breaking the "fourth wall" and addressing the audience through the camera lens. And toward the end of its run it became downright mystical.
The series was to have concluded at the end of its seventh season. In the final episode, "Limbo," Magnum appears to have been fatally wounded, and like Here Comes Mr. Jordan he wanders about as a ghost, finally ascending into a cloud-like "heaven" (a bad special effect). But fans were outraged and the show returned for a half-season run the following year, with Magnum amusingly brought back from the dead.
Magnum, P.I. was a Top 20 show during its first five seasons, peaking at #4 in season three, though it dropped out of the Top 30 during its last three years. Selleck won an Emmy Award, as did John Hillerman for his invaluable support. His character's Odd Couple-like relationship with Magnum is unquestionably the heart of the show, and the veteran supporting player (What's Up, Doc?, High Plains Drifter, Blazing Saddles, Chinatown, At Long Last Love; he was very good in the latter, even though the movie wasn't) is a delight in every scene he's in.
The show's popularity (and Hawaiian setting) drew a high caliber of guest stars, including Frank Sinatra is his last dramatic role. (Sinatra goes his own way but both he and the episode are pretty hard-hitting and serious. It's a memorable show.) Other heavyweights include Richard Johnson, Lew Ayres, Andrea Marcovicci, Ted Danson, Mercedes McCambridge, Orson Welles (as the voice of Robin Masters in several episodes), Roy Dotrice, Vic Morrow, Darren McGavin, Vera Miles, Elisha Cook Jr., Tyne Daly, Mimi Rogers, Jill St. John, Ian McShane, Ernest Borgnine, Mako, Sylvia Sidney, Keye Luke, Richard Roundtree, Carol Channing, Mildred Natwick, Jane Merrow, Dick Shawn, Ed Lauter, John Saxon, Ronald Lacey, Leslie Uggams, Patrick Macnee, Sharon Stone, Samantha Eggar, Jenny Agutter, Cesar Romero, David Hemmings, Robert Forster, Dennis Weaver, Julian Glover, Peter Davison, Brock Peters, Candy Clark, Gwen Verdon, Clive Revill, Alan Hale Jr., Stella Stevens, Eileen Brennan, and Anthony Newley. Joe Santos, James Luisi, Stuart Margolin, Gretchen Corbett and Noah Beery Jr., all from The Rockford Files, make guest appearances. Judging by all that British talent, one suspects Magnum must have been very popular in the U.K.
There were also a few crossover shows, with Murder, She Wrote and Simon & Simon, featuring those shows' leads.
Video & Audio
Magnum, P.I. was released as eight single-season sets but this Complete Series box thankfully dispenses with Universal's notoriously unreliable "flipper" discs, DVD-18s that infamously and repeatedly jammed, though Universal never publicly acknowledged the many problems with this technology, let alone offered replacement discs to consumers. The full-frame shows look pretty good; the series was shot throughout its run on 35mm film, and not the finished-on-tape postproduction method that's limited the viability of many '80s and '90s series in this high-def age we now reside. The region one discs, covering 129-plus hours (!) include English and French Dolby Digital 2.0 mono audio, with optional English, English SDH, French, and Spanish subtitle options.
Extra Features
Supplements include previously released featurettes ported over here, including "The Great '80s Flashback," "America's Top Sleuths," as well as the aforementioned Murder, She Wrote and Simon & Simon crossover episodes. A small handful of shows have commentary tracks, and sample episodes of The A-Team, Knight Rider, and The Rockford Files ("White on White and Nearly Perfect," featuring Selleck) are also included.
Parting Thoughts
A nice, compact set of episodes, some of which are quite good and unusual, Magnum, P.I. - The Complete Series should please its fans. Recommended.

Subsistence speech wows science class
You've got to be pretty interesting to keep a classroom full of middle schoolers quiet for 45 minutes. Willy Topkok leaves 'em speechless.
Well, mostly.
"This guy's cool!" whispered one of Lisa Andersen's science students to a friend during a recent presentation by Topkok at Gruening Middle School.
Topkok, an Inupiat Eskimo who hails from the Northwest Alaska village of Teller on the Seward Peninsula, was ostensibly in Andersen's class to speak about Native subsistence hunting. But getting Topkok to settle on a single topic would be like asking Robin Williams to pick a single comedy routine. During his 45-minute stream-of-consciousness speech, Tokok told the students about everything from the differences and similarities between various Native languages to how Inupiat hunters butcher walrus at sea to how he was once captured by Soviet authorities while hunting in the Bering Strait.
"It was awesome," said seventh grader Nicholas Thomas. "I'd never seen anything like it before."
Decked out in traditional Inupiat garb, Topkok began his speech by telling students about what it was like growing up in Teller, where subsistence hunting is the most important feature of daily life.
"We are carnivores," he said. "We have to eat meat to survive."
The village's location on the sea means Topkok's people do most of their hunting from small boats made from the skins of slaughtered marine mammals.
"You become part of the elements. You can hear the water under you, you can feel the water under you," he said.
On one such walrus hunt in 1980 — the height of the Cold War — Topkok and his hunting party accidentally strayed across the International Date Line and into Soviet territory. With their umiak weighed down by walrus meat, the 15-man hunting party did its best to flee the big Soviet boat.
"We said, 'The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!'" Topkok told the students.
But the small boat was no match for the big ship, and Topkok and his friends were quickly overtaken.
"He zooms in front of us and points a machine gun at us," he said.
For the next six hours, the hunting party found itself in a tense negotiation with the Soviets that briefly turned into an international incident. The situation was complicated by the fact that the Soviets spoke little Inupiaq and only broken English, while the Eskimos knew almost no Russian and had learned much of their English from Hollywood movies.
Frantic calls were placed — first to Moscow, then to Washington, D.C. — before cooler heads prevailed and the hunting party was escorted back to U.S. waters.
"We told the Russians, 'Quyana' (thank you in Inupiaq)," Topkok said.
After being admonished to stay on their own side of the border, Topkok and his friends couldn't resist a bit of playful banter as the Soviets — who were now trespassing themselves — turned for home.
"We told them, 'Si senor. Muchas gracias,'" he said. "Andele."
Such incidents were common during the Cold War said Topkok, whose people (who live on both sides of the border) were split up because of the hostilities between the two nations.
"We can see Russia on a clear day," he said.
Since relations have thawed, Topkok said he's visited relatives on the Russian side of the border.
"Now you can get a visa," he said.
The importance of hunting was a central theme of Topkok's speech. Because of the region's isolation, he said Eskimos still must hunt and gather much of their food and clothing.
"We still live a subsistence way of life," he said.
Topkok showed the students some of his handmade clothing, including watertight rawhide boots, fur-lined parka and mittens designed to stand up to even the coldest temperatures.
"We must use everything we hunt," he said.
Topkok, who now lives in Anchorage, said he delights in sharing his traditional ways with Alaska students, and he spends much of his time visiting classrooms or teaching Eskimo crafts in Anchorage.
"This is how my people live and I love to tell them how we survive and continue to survive," he said.
Lisa Andersen said she's been inviting Topkok to her classroom for a decade. She counts his visits as one of the year's highlights, and said she's especially pleased with how her Alaska Native students respond to the talks.
"They really make a connection with him," she said.
Even if the students aren't Eskimo — or even Native — Topkok said learning about subsistence ways can help students gain a better appreciation for what it means to be Alaskan.
"This is a part of their roots," he said.

How do young brains develop? Why are teenagers so convinced they know everything? Why do they fight with their parents about little things? Why are they so emotionally attached to music?
Researcher Michael Nerney says it's a matter of brain chemistry, which changes over time, and is different for boys and girls. Nerney is an internationally renowned lecturer, an expert on adolescent brain development and a consultant in substance abuse prevention and education.
VPR Presents Michael Nerney on the adolescent brain. He spoke in May at Champlain Valley Union High School. His talk was sponsored by Friends of CVU, NFI Vermont and Connecting Youth in Chittenden South.

PAD-ed arteries: Leg pain comes from clogs
There are too many homonyms and acronyms that all sound the same but have different meanings. How in the world can we keep up with all the different meanings for the same-sounding words?
For example, PSA in medicine means "prostate specific antigen," but at the news station it means "public service announcement." There are many meanings for "Pad." There is finger pad, knee pad, pad thai, you live in a cool pad, maxi-.... In medicine, PAD stands for "peripheral arterial disease." Is PAD bad news?
About 12 million Americans have PAD, but it remains highly under-diagnosed. Some patients think their leg pain is arthritis and say, "Doc, my calves are killing me. I feel like I've been walking in Jimmy Choo eight-inched spiked heels across the Great Wall of China– but in reality I've only been shopping for 10 minutes in my tennis shoes. I couldn't even walk over in time to grab the blue-light special. It must be arthritis."
PAD is not arthritis; it is atherosclerosis, which means the arteries are clogged with cholesterol like Hell's Kitchen sinks are clogged with grease and fat trimmings. As the arteries start to narrow because of cholesterol plaques, blood flow to the extremities slows– particularly to the legs. What is farthest from the heart? The feet and calves (as well as insurance companies and Pat Robertson).
When a person with PAD walks, and the calf muscles need more blood for oxygen, nutrition, and removal of bi-products, the calves start to hurt (that's called "claudication"). Because of the pressure of the blood pushing through the narrow arteries, inflammation occurs along the cholesterol plaques and arterial walls. Platelets accumulate and further narrow the arteries, which leads to more pain. It's like that song from The Wiz, "You Can't Win." Or can you?
The classic symptoms of PAD include calf pain that occurs only with exertion, stops you from walking, and resolves within 10 minutes of rest. So when I hear a patient say, "I think I have PAD because when I sleep my legs cramp," I figure it's something else– like restless legs syndrome, an electrolyte problem, or simply being out of shape– but not PAD.
Remember, PAD occurs when the legs are active and need more blood. However, most PAD patients actually are able to walk despite the claudication, and the pain can linger for more than 10 minutes after resting. Other areas of the body like the thighs or arms might hurt instead of the calves, depending on which arteries are clogged.
People with spinal stenosis (narrowing back bones that pinch on the spinal cord) have something called "pseudoclaudication," which means pain in both legs that occurs with standing up straight, walking up hills that makes the lower back arch and is alleviated by bending forward like an old person using a cane.
Smoking is perhaps the biggest cause of PAD. Local hero Sissy Spacek, unfortunately, has earned a Hackademy Award from the American Lung Association for her frequent on-screen puffing (but a relative says the Academy Award-winner is not a smoker in real life).
Smokers aren't alone: diabetics, people with high blood pressure and cholesterol, and those who have already had a stroke or heart attack are also at high risk for PAD. People with PAD probably have clogged arteries elsewhere, so they tend to have higher mortality and morbidity rates than those without PAD.
Diagnosis is pretty easy: an ABI procedure (ankle-brachial index) that involves taking blood pressure in the arms and legs with an ultrasound device. Treatment involves not smoking, lowering cholesterol, exercise to develop more circulation, and anti-platelet medications like aspirin and Plavix. So if you have symptoms of PAD, see your MD PDQ ASAP 2B OK.

|Anthocharis (1)
Only male invertebrates_freshwater butterflies actually have orange tips to their forewings; females have black or greyish wing tips (1). In both sexes, the undersides of the hindwings have a dappled pattern of yellowish-black scales, which provides good camouflage when the butterfly is at rest amongst vegetation (2). The caterpillar reaches 3 cm in length, and is pale bluish- or greyish-green with white sides. The whole body is peppered with fine black spots (3).
The main foodplants of the caterpillars are cuckooflower (Cardamine pratensis), and garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata); although a range of other members of the crucifer family are used (2). A single generation is produced each year (3); adults usually fly between mid-April and mid-June (2), and females lay eggs singly during May or June on the flower heads of the foodplants (3). The eggs, which are white at first, turn orange after 2-3 days, and are easy to spot (2). It is very rare to find more than one egg on a flower; studies have shown that females mark the flowers on which they have laid an egg with a pheromone, and other females are deterred from laying there as a result. This ensures that each larva has sufficient food in its early stages (2). During June and July (3) the caterpillars feed on the developing seeds in the flowers (2), they are also reported to be cannibalistic; if more than one egg is laid on a plant, this cannibalism gives one caterpillar an advantage, as it eliminates the competition (2). Caterpillars pupate in July (3) on tall vegetation near the foodplant (2), where they spend the winter as a pupa. The adults typically emerge the following May (3), although it has been discovered that in captivity, emergence can be delayed for up to two years, which may prevent an adult facing unsuitable conditions (2).
This resident species has a wide distribution in the southern half of Britain. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this butterfly was lost from many areas of Scotland. Since the 1940s, however, the orange-tip has extended its range. It also occurs throughout Ireland, much of Europe, reaching north to central Scandinavia, and extends through the Middle East and temperate Asia, reaching Japan. At present, this butterfly is spreading northwards in Europe (2).
Found in a variety of grassy, damp habitats, including meadows and road verges (2).
This widespread species is not threatened. It is not listed under any conservation designations.
Not currently threatened.
No conservation action is targeted at this widespread species.

Some Bud Light lovers can now get beer delivered to their door with the tap of a smartphone screen.
With two weeks to go until Super Bowl Sunday, Anheuser-Busch has introduced a new app offering home delivery of Bud Light in less than an hour.
The free app "Bud Light Button" made its debut in Washington, D.C., this week. It provides Bud Light during the legal hours that alcohol is allowed to be sold in the city. The company said a "nominal" delivery fee will be charged, but did not specify the amount.
U.S. & World
As of Thursday, D.C. residents of legal drinking age were able to order between one and 100 cases of beer with just the touch of a button.
The app is part of Bud Light's "Up for Whatever" campaign to encourage customers to have spontaneous fun.
David J. Hanson, professor emeritus of sociology at the State University of New York at Potsdam, said the app follows a broader trend of dry counties becoming wet and blue law prohibitions against Sunday sales of alcohol declining.
"I think a lot of people will be willing to pay the extra fee for home delivery. Hopefully it will decrease the number of drinking and driving injuries as well," said Hanson, who has researched alcohol and drinking for more than 40 years.
He hopes to see the app spreading to all 50 states, predicting that it will do well if the company sees people vote with their dollars... or with their pointer fingers.
The app is currently only available on Android-powered smart phones; an IOS version is coming soon.

I'm trying to check for empty strings with a Scanner and I'm not sure how to loop it so that it asks for the correct input.
So I want to use
System.out.print("Enter your First Name: "); String employeeFirstName = j.next(); //first name declared System.out.print("Enter your Last Name: "); String employeeLastName = j.next(); //last name declared
and I want to have it check so if the user enters a number or a blank that it asks for the input again. I tried using both if and while loops and it would still print "enter last name" after the first name and then also say it was invalid and crash the program.

The effort is part of an updating of two of the town's plans, but some wonder if the expense is worth it.
The town wants to put its finger on the pulse of residents and business owners yet again.
In January, residents and business owners will be asked to take part in a townwide survey that will be conducted on behalf of the Town Board as part of its year-old Strategic Plan and a just-started update to the separate Comprehensive Plan. It's the second survey of its kind in just over two years.
"It's a very specific opportunity for us to see how we're really doing and to track that over time," said Penny Ciaburri, who was hired by the town in June 2006 to facilitate the Strategic Plan.
A year earlier, the town paid Harris Interactive and Cornell University about $50,000 to survey residents and hold a series of public meetings to find out what residents like or dislike about their hometown. The survey asked them questions on all kinds of topics, and asked how participants would prefer the town spend $5 million — on the purchase of open land, a new Town Hall or a recreation center, to name a few options.
The Harris survey became something of a political football, however, in the 2005 campaign season, with candidates each offering different interpretations of the survey to show how it backed their platforms.
Some involved in creating the Strategic Plan last year question the need for a second survey. John Palomaki, who was just elected to a seat on the Town Board and will take office in January, is among
them. He feels that the information collected from the Harris survey should be used along with what has been collected by the various Strategic Plan task forces that were made up of dozens of residents.
Plus, he said, "I think the timing is bad right now — the board is going to change, and we're in the middle
of the holiday season."
Michael Weidner, who was on two of the Strategic Plan task forces, said the latest survey is "well-intentioned" but he questions if it's needed.
"Obviously it's never a bad idea to get the pulse of a community," he said, "but every two or three years a new group comes in and says, 'Oh, we should do a survey.' Everybody's got a new idea for how to plan, but there's no consistency. That's a surefire way to spend money and get nothing done."
He added: "If we're going to do a survey, let's do a survey that's going to give us some insight as to how to move forward rather than a report card of how we've been doing in the last four years."
But when it comes to Strategic Plans, report cards — or "benchmarks" as they are formally called — are important, Ciaburri said. "It will allow us to see, as we progress through the Strategic Plan and probably the Comprehensive Plan, how well we're doing," she said. "It gives us objective data — we don't want to just guess. We want to prove we're making gains."
What's more, the latest survey will be vastly different than the Harris survey, Ciaburri pointed out. While the Harris survey used a sampling of about 700 residents, the Strategic Plan survey will be offered to all residents and business owners.
The survey will be done mostly through the Internet, though hard copies will be made available to citizens who don't have access to the Web or just prefer paper. Specific questions still need to be finalized and approved by the Town Board. Questions will range from how well the town follows its mission of
protecting natural resources, to how well town departments serve residents, to whether the town attracts the right kinds of businesses, to name a few. Participants' answers will range from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree."
The responses will be used to guide the Town Board as it decides what proposals and projects to fasttrack and which to reconsider.
The Town Board will have to approve the survey before it gets under way.
While only about 3 percent of citizens usually respond to such community surveys, Ciaburri and town officials are hoping at least 30 percent of residents and business owners will take part. In Victor, 30 percent would total about 3,450, not
including business owners, since the latest U.S. Census Bureau report listed the town's population as 11,500.

Wassail is a traditional part of English Christmas celebrations, dating back to the 13th century. There are a myriad of recipes, but his more traditional recipe comes from Carla Bardi's lovely The Silver Book of Cocktails.
1 qt. brown ale
8 oz. dry sherry
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3 apples
finely grated peel of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp. each ground nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel and core two apples and cut in thick slices. Place in layers in a baking dish and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Drizzle with 2 oz. of brown ale. Bake until the apples are very tender, about 45 minutes. Chop the apples and their cooking juices in a food processor until smooth. Place in a saucepan over medium-low heat and add the remaining ale, sherry, lemon peel and spices. Simmer gently for a few minutes. Peel and core the remaining apple and slice. Add the slices to the bowl and serve while still warm.

Massachusetts Delegate Attends 60th NEA Representative Assembly
At 98 years old, Kathleen Roberts has been attending NEA's Representative Assembly since 1950.
Sixty years. It's a significant number in the world of anniversaries, whether celebrating a marriage or the number of years on the job. But for NEA's 92nd Representative Assembly (RA) in Atlanta, 60 represents the number of annual meetings Kathleen Roberts, a delegate from Massachusetts, has attended.
She attended her first RA in 1950, when it was held in St. Louis, MO. Roberts, who will turn 99 this year, recalled the RAs of the past were "nothing like this," explaining that 60 years ago NEA leadership did all of the talking while delegates sat and listened. "It's evolved over time," she said.
"We were there, but [leadership] controlled it. It's better now," explaining how delegates now have a stronger voice in setting the Association's policy.
Throughout her years attending the NEA's annual meetings, Roberts' most memorable moments include being kissed by Vice President Joe Biden in 2012 and the historic vote to merge with the American Teachers Association in 1966.
As a veteran RA attendee, her advice to first time delegates: "Take an active role in your local [association]. You'll find that it really helps."
Roberts began her teaching career in the midst of the Great Depression. Employment was hard to come by so Roberts left her home state of Massachusetts and headed to Vermont in 1937 to begin her career as an 8th grade teacher. She taught in a one-room school and boarded at a farm house with a local family. Roberts earned a salary of $14 a week during the school year.
She eventually made her way back to Massachusetts where she spent the next 47 years teaching 8th grade for the Dartmouth and Raynham school districts.
Since her return, Roberts has been an active member of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA). She has held several leadership roles, including president of MTA in 1971 and 1972, as well as local president of the current Bridgewater-Raynham Education Association.
She now is retired and spends her time within the Raynham school district as a volunteer.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has laid out his fiscal plan "to turn around the federal government" by axing or reducing programs – including what could be significant changes to Medicare and Social Security.
As might be expected from a relatively moderate Republican, Mr. Romney's plan is not as drastic as others, such as fellow GOP presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul's, which would eliminate several departments of federal government, or House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's controversial plan, which Democrats say would "kill Medicare."
Still, Romney's pledge to "make government simpler, smaller, and smarter," declared Friday in a speech to the tea party-aligned group Americans for Prosperity, was embraced by Congressman Ryan. That's sure to set it up as a target for Democrats and for President Obama, as the incumbent president looks for ways to win reelection at a time when the US economy sputters and congressional Republicans reject his jobs-creating efforts.
"This is a great development," Ryan told Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin, regarding Romney. "It shows that the elusive adult conversation is taking place.... This tracks perfectly with the House budget."
Among the elements in Romney's plan:
- Cap federal spending at 20 percent of gross domestic product (it was 24.3 percent last year), which would require spending cuts of approximately $500 billion per year in 2016, assuming the economy grows about about 4 percent annually. (The US grew by 2.8 percent in 2010.) The plan would also reverse defense cuts in Obama administration budgets.
- Cut nonsecurity discretionary spending to below 2008 levels by cutting such spending 5 percent across the board.
- Privatize Amtrak, saving $1.6 billion.
- Reduce subsidies for the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the Legal Services Corporation, saving $600 Million.
- Eliminate Title X family planning funding that benefits groups like Planned Parenthood, saving $300 million.
- Reduce foreign aid by $100 million, particularly to countries the US borrows money from, including China.
- Reduce the federal workforce by 10 percent through attrition, align federal employee compensation with the private sector, and repeal the Davis-Bacon Act, which, according to Romney, "forces the government to pay above-market wages, insulating labor unions from competition and driving up project costs by approximately 10 percent."
On Social Security, Romney would "gradually raise the retirement age to reflect increases in longevity and slow the growth in benefits for higher-income retirees."
Similarly, Romney indicates a gradualism on Medicare.
"First, Medicare should not change for anyone in the program or soon to be in it," he said in his speech Friday. "We should honor our commitments to our seniors."
"Tomorrow's seniors should have the freedom to choose what their health coverage looks like," he continued. "Younger Americans today, when they turn 65, should have a choice between traditional Medicare and other private health-care plans that provide at least the same level of benefits ... as with Social Security, the eligibility age should slowly increase to keep pace with increases in longevity."
Many of the details in Romney's plan are yet to be revealed, but his political competitors were quick to weigh in.
"He pandered to interest groups and offered timid reforms to government spending, all the while trying to convince voters he will magically balance the budget anyway," said Tim Miller, the campaign spokesman of Jon Huntsman Jr., in a statement. "Governor Romney's plan that protects subsidies, the Defense Department, and nibbles around the edges on entitlements leaves no doubt that he has no realistic plan or intention to honestly balance the budget."
Rick Perry's campaign took the occasion to note Romney's support for the 2008 Wall Street bailout, the subject of Mr. Perry's latest YouTube video attacking Romney.
"Any proposal from Mitt Romney to reduce government spending that does not end government bailouts is not a serious plan to reduce government spending," said Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan in an e-mail to reporters.
Obama's reelection campaign jumped in as well.
"Mitt Romney's proposal … places a great burden on the middle class and the elderly, and instead of asking all Americans to do their fair share it continues to offer special breaks for large corporations, millionaires, and billionaires," said Obama for America press secretary Ben LaBolt in a statement.
"Much of Mitt Romney's plan is a carbon copy of the House Republicans' budget," Mr. LaBolt emphasized, tying Romney to Ryan. "It would wipe out investments essential to creating jobs and promoting growth and would leave millions of older Americans to fend for themselves by privatizing Medicare."
In a web video, the Democratic National Committee said Romney's plan would seriously hurt middle-class families, saying the plan was something "only a billionaire could love."

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find." (Matt. 7:7)
There are so many prayers in a worship service: opening prayers, closing prayers, prayers of confession, the "pastoral prayer" (which can often become quite long!), prayer after the offering, prayer before the sermon, and then prayer after the sermon. Why so many prayers?
The fact that we take so much time for prayer during worship indicates the blunt truth that without the blessing of Christ we can do nothing (John 15:5). It also indicates that we know that everything we have comes from God, so we are to be thankful in everything (Phil. 4:6).
We use the term prayer of invocation as a formal term to describe the first prayer in a Lord's Day worship service. (In our church, we usually call it the "prayer for God's blessing on our worship.") It may well be the most important prayer of any worship service.
In a prayer of invocation, we "invoke" (i.e., call upon, summon, beg) God to bless our time of worship. While God greets us as we gather (in the salutation), we do not presume upon his promised mercy to us. We praise God for who he is. (Notice that the elements of a prayer of invocation usually include things about which we have just sung or confessed.) We earnestly ask God to use the means of grace as means of grace to those who are present.
Among other things, we pray that:

ImmuCell launches the Immediate ImmunityTM YouTube channel to help educate dairy and beef producers, veterinarians and the agricultural industry about newborn calf immunity. This resource center, available at www.youtube.com/ImmediateImmunity, offers management tips and industry research. Dairy and beef producers can also hear firsthand from other producers and veterinarians how they provide immediate immunity to their calves at birth.
Videos currently available for viewing on the Immediate Immunity channel include veterinarian and calf grower perspectives on: newborn calf management protocols, the importance of colostrum, working with custom calf raisers and disease prevention in newborn calves.
Steve Hayes, DVM and owner of Day 1 Technology, is a featured veterinarian on the channel. He indicates that providing immediate immunity to calves can have lasting effects on dairy and beef operations.
"How we handle the calf today may have an impact years later when the cattle enter the herd," Hayes says. "All diseases on a cow herd can be transferred to a calf on the day of birth. If we enlist good, strict management that first day, and provide the calf with immediate immunity, calves can be protected against diseases and will do better in the long-run."
Bobbi (Kunde) Brockmann, director of sales and marketing with ImmuCell, says the tools found on the page can help beef and dairy producers provide immediate immunity and long-term health benefits to their calves.
"The Immediate Immunity YouTube channel is a valuable resource for all cattle producers," Brockmann says. "It's vital to our industry that producers and veterinarians share their experiences and learn from one another about newborn calf management. The actions we take on day one play a pivotal role in the growth and productivity of the calf's future."
Producers, veterinarians and industry members are invited to view videos on the Immediate Immunity YouTube channel by visiting www.youtube.com/ImmediateImmunity.
Additional information is available on the Immediate Immunity Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/ImmediateImmunity.
ImmuCell Corporation's (NASDAQ: ICCC) purpose is to create scientifically-proven and practical products that result in a measurable economic impact on animal health and productivity in the dairy and beef industries. Other information about the Company are available at www.immucell.com.

More pings raise hopes plane will be found soon
Associated Press
PERTH, Australia — An Australian official says equipment on a ship searching for the missing Malaysian jet has relocated an underwater signal that is consistent with a plane's black boxes.
Angus Houston, the head of a joint agency coordinating the search in the southern Indian Ocean, said on Wednesday that the Australian navy's Ocean Shield has picked up two more underwater signals that could be from Flight 370.
The Ocean Shield first detected the sounds late Saturday and early Sunday before losing them, and Houston said the ship relocated the signals twice on Tuesday.
The ship is equipped with a U.S. Navy towed pinger locator that is designed to pick up signals from a plane's black boxes.

In May 1960, six months before that year�s presidential election, Sally-Jean Macort, a proofreader for the Cape Cod Standard-Times, was asked by her editor to go to the airport to meet with John F. Kennedy.
�I was too naive to realize this was a big deal,� said Macort, a Brewster resident who was living with her family in West Harwich at the time.
That was the first meeting of many that Macort would have with Kennedy and his family that year.
Later that summer, after the Democratic convention, a party was held for the press at the Kennedy compound.
�The paper told me to go, so I went,� Macort said.
Macort doesn�t remember exactly what she and Kennedy talked about that day, but she does remember Kennedy�s keen sense of humor and his manners.
�He was a gentleman,� Macort said. �He was very personable.�
On election night, Macort went to the National Guard Armory in Hyannis and took notes on what the Kennedy women were wearing. Her notes would become her first story for the Times and her foray into writing. Her final meeting with the Kennedy clan came soon after, when she and a group of women journalists were invited to interview the pregnant first lady in Joe and Rose Kennedy�s dining room.
Macort said the journalists were only allowed to ask questions about mundane topics, such as baby names and what color the nursery would be painted.
�I was shell-shocked, but still naive to the opportunity,� Macort said.
When Rose Kennedy invited the journalists to stay for cocktails, Macort declined because she had a journalism class to attend at Harvard.
�My mother never forgave me for not staying for cocktails!� Macort said. �I often wonder what would have happened if I had zigged instead of zagged.�
Macort left the Cape soon after, but she was home on vacation in West Harwich three years later when Kennedy was assassinated. �I just sobbed,� Macort said. �I felt like I�d lost a friend.�
Over the years, Macort realized the significance of her meetings with the Kennedys.
�People were flabbergasted that I had done this,� Macort said. �I was just in the right place at the right time.�

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama remained ahead of Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney in a Reuters/Ipsos released on Sunday, maintaining a boost in popularity that followed the Democratic National Convention.
Of the 1,419 likely voters polled online over the previous four days, 47 percent said they would vote for Obama and 43 percent for Romney if the November 6 U.S. election were held today.
The president's margin over Romney in the daily rolling poll was unchanged from Saturday's numbers, turning up the heat on Republican strategists who were hoping for a more muted post-convention "bounce" for Obama in the wake of Friday's release of weak employment numbers.
"It means (Democrats) are on good footing going into the rest of the election," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.
Obama's lead already was more sustained than a smaller and shorter-lived boost that Romney enjoyed after the Republican convention finished in Tampa, Florida on August 30, Clark said. The Democratic convention ran through Thursday night in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"The task is now to stay on the message as we're still quite a ways away from the election," Clark said, reiterating her prediction that the gap in poll numbers between Obama and Romney is likely to narrow and stay close up to November 6.
Senior advisers to Romney rejected the idea that they would panic after several polls showed the former Massachusetts governor losing in key swing states, saying such results reflected the recent Democratic convention and not the ongoing tight race.
"An incumbent president who is below 50 percent in the polls is in a very bad place," one senior Romney adviser said.
Another adviser said, "if we're at 47-45 (with Obama leading) going into the Thursday before the election, I'd be very comfortable we'd win."
What Romney advisers are banking on is Americans' feelings about Obama's handling of the U.S. economy.
"Mitt has improved his standing in battleground states and is positioned perfectly on the issue of the economy with swing voters, who are so down on President Obama's performance in office," the first senior adviser to Romney said.
Sunday's Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Romney leading in popularity among registered independent voters, with 35 percent of them saying they would vote for him. Obama had 31 percent.
But asked which of the two "will protect American jobs," 32 percent of independent registered voters picked Obama, while 27 percent sided with Romney, according to Sunday's results.
Among all the 1,660 registered voters surveyed, Obama scored 42 percent compared to Romney's 35 percent.
Obama's ranking in that category has climbed steadily over the past two weeks of the daily poll, starting with 34 percent on August 28, reaching 40 percent on September 7 and peaking Sunday.
"The public view of the economy is much more about personal perception than reality," Clark said, explaining that few people pay close attention to numbers or statistics. "The fact that the dialogue is in the public sphere and Obama has been defending his record, it's possible a little bit of that is sticking."
At the same time, 72 percent of registered voters surveyed said the national economy and national deficit were on the wrong track, while 66 percent said the same about jobs and unemployment and 57 percent about the direction of things in the country in general, according to Sunday's poll numbers.
Asked how they felt about Obama, 54 percent of registered voters were favorable. Romney's favorability trailed at 49 percent.
Sunday's findings wrap up a series of daily rolling polls aimed at gauging sentiment during the two weeks of party conventions. For the survey, a sample of registered voters was interviewed online from September 5-9.
The precision of Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points for all respondents.

I believe you can do this with Acrobat Pro, but you'd need to do some digging. Here see: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/...a-jpg-file.html
I've also seen it done through PowerPoint automation, see: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffic...1f-0e045b3654ee for one example.
Are these PDFs a single page or can they have multiple pages?

Hi DanielPineault ,
Thanks for suggestion.
Adobe acrobat should be present in every system where the use will upload the PDF File ? Have to think on this.
Is there any print to image solution ?
The PDF file is a single page file.

Having worked for years in Engineering, I have to ask why not get the images created directly from the CAD software or from your suppliers, ...? Just a thought. In many cases, even this can be automated.

Hi DanielPineault,
Nice to talk to some one from same field. As you know , the customers send mostly PDFs and few Tiffs.
This is because it is just a part drawing in a A4 format.
This application is to store drawings in a folder after approved by 3 persons.
I have a web application that displays the drawing in an android tablet, based on the selected Part Number.
The same page contains may controls for collecting data from user.I don't want to open a separate page for drawings.
This is a part of a larger Access application for quality Control .
The problem is
1. I wont get CAD drawing.
2.How to display CAD drawing in web browser?

The Newport - Fort Staunton Expressway is an overpass expressway from the Newport-Fort Staunton, from which it derives its name, border at the northeast edge of Newport to the southern end of the district at the border with Torrington on Staunton Island, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Can be accessed by several entrances to the highway, as well as out of it.
Fort Staunton to Newport
The road to Fort Staunton to Newport would be the north entrance to south, which involves getting off the coast of Fort Staunton (on the east side of the map), the right side to scroll over the water and after another highway and to encounter the Lips 106 Headquarters on the right and left with posters is that I was over the highway.
Newport to Fort Staunton
The road from Newport to Fort Staunton is almost the same, but the other lane, adjacent to the City Hall and a triangular building as the Rise FM Headquarters in Newport.
Highway is made by some posters on the part of Newport (south). The ads you see are:

Archive for the 'Dunbar number' Category
More of less Dunbar and childhood on the facebook
Dunbar's number is a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships and minding businesses of other familiar people (in the neocortex region of the brain). Discovered by anthropologist Robin Dunbar, the number is commonly cited approximately 150. So, the number is the estimation how many people can know each other well at the same time.
After social media services on the net, this number is considered much higher than 150, like amount of friends in facebook or contacts in Jaiku. On the other hands, there are estimations that the core network of human beign is much less than 150. The discussion is starting to reach out of hands.
First, Dunbar made his unique observation with ape and human hunter-gatherer societies, also for example among regilious Hutterites and the military. These are all tight cohesive communities with physical presence and in many cases, they have some outer or inner restrictions to have more or mixed population. This means that you do not have much choice who do you will meet and actually you are 'forced' to mind common i.e. collective businesses and the people related to them.
Secondly, if your descendants somehow happen to born in facebook, its is presumable that they will have much more deep reationships than just 150 because they've spent their whole life there and have had time to meet much more people and much more efficiently than in hunter-gatherer societies.
Thirdly, on the net, you spend much less time in one network service and you can communicate between of them for example with Feedworld and micro channels without any physical restrictions to reach or even no need to log into the services.
So, more logical would be to count the overall number of contacts in all social networks. For example I have 247 contacts and channel memberships in Jaiku, 332 'friends' in facebook, 150 followers in Twitter and 65 'friends' in Sometu Ning network. There are other networks also, like many of us have.
But by stetson estimation, there might be some 30 procent contact overlapping with different services i.e. I have relationships with same peoples reagardless of the service. By stetson method more and without any actual calculating, I suppose I have 20 – 40 persons I deeply chat, irc, sms, skype, email etc in daily or weekly basis.
As Howard Rheingold wrote recently, Peter Marsden has thought that most humans maintain a much smaller core network than 150.
That's make much sense to me on the age of the net. Basically it is possible to have much more relationship on the net. But, it is stil time-consuming and laborius work to manage them in personal level, like Clay Shirky has presented in Here Comes Everybody.
At the moment I'm making sna analysis of Sometu Ning network with 841 members. In my preliminary findings, there are some 10-20 core people who make the core network. This means, that quite a many persons, who have 10-20 contacts, have make mostly their contants just to these core people. More about the analysis of Sometu during the spring.

Phoenix Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Phoenix there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Phoenix Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Phoenix. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
What Should You Look For in a Windshield Service Specialist?
Were you aware that the windshield provides up to 30% of a vehicle's structural strength. In the event of a crash or rollover, the windshield supports the roof and assists the airbags in deploying. Maintaining the windshield will help to ensure safety while operating the vehicle.
In everyday driving conditions, a chipped windshield can quickly turn into a safety hazard if the chip cracks suddenly. It is impossible to determine whether a chip will crack and cause greater issue, but if it is a large chip, chances are it will eventually cause a crack if it goes unrepaired.
A chipped windshield does not mean that the windshield needs to be replaced, but the chip should be repaired as soon as possible. There are several reasons why windshield chips should be repaired rather than ignored:
Glass repair may not be covered by all car insurance policies; avoiding the need for full replacement is the best choice. Repairing a chipped windshield in relatively inexpensive, with do-it-yourself kits starting around $10. Many places offer windshield chip repairs while you are getting an oil change. This can be a convenient way to repair a chipped windshield while having other work completed on the car.
There is no way to know for sure how long a chipped windshield will go without cracking, however it is best to avoid taking chances and have windshield chips repaired as soon as you notice them.
Windshield Replacement: What Everyone Needs To Know
Despite what the kids might think, cars were around when their parents were young. Glass had been invented by then and was even around during their grandparent's time. Sometimes it comes as a shock that anything cool existed before video games and cell phones, but classic cars are definitely cool. When windows need to be replaced, lovers of classic vehicles cannot always turn to the regular auto body repair shop where they get their 2011 Ford windows fixed. The right pieces of glass are not typically in stock, and not all windows fit every make and model of car.
Patterns for auto glass were different forty, fifty, and sixty years ago. There are special patterns for each type of vehicle which specialist auto glass replacement and repair shops have access to. Although tools used to cut this glass are more technically advanced compared to those which cut glass 50 and more years ago, the glass is cut precisely to fit into the windshield of an old-fashioned Desoto, Hudson, Studebaker, or other pre-1960 model. A number of auto body shops specializing in repairing old automobiles possess a library of patterns. If the one a customer wants is not available on-site, they will order the pattern. These professionals appreciate the beauty of an older vehicle and the history around its creation.
If you are still uncertain about which company to give your business to, websites often post pictures of cars they have helped to restore. Use these to find out if a company seems to know what it is doing. Although there are specialist auto body outfits all over the country, finding exactly the right professional for the job is worth a road trip if you needed an excuse for one.

Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar), and Roger Taylor (drums, vocals). Queen's earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works, incorporating further diverse styles into their music.
Before joining Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor had been playing together in a band named Smile with bassist Tim Staffell. Freddie Mercury (then known by his birth name of Farrokh "Freddie" Bulsara) was a fan of Smile, and encouraged them to experiment with more elaborate stage and recording techniques after Staffell's departure in 1970. Mercury himself joined the band shortly thereafter, changed the name of the band to "Queen", and adopted his familiar stage name. John Deacon was recruited prior to recording their eponymous debut album in 1973. Queen enjoyed success in the UK with their debut and its follow-up, Queen II in 1974, but it was the release of Sheer Heart Attack later in 1974 and A Night at the Opera in 1975 that gained the band international success. The latter featured "Bohemian Rhapsody", which stayed at number one in the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks; it charted at number one in several other territories, and gave the band their first top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100. Their 1977 album, News of the World, contained two of rock's most recognisable anthems, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions".
By the early 1980s, Queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world, with "Another One Bites the Dust" their best selling single, and their performance at 1985's Live Aid is regarded as one of the greatest in rock history. In 1991, Mercury died of bronchopneumonia, a complication of AIDS, and Deacon retired in 1997. Since then, May and Taylor have occasionally performed together, including a collaboration with Free and Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers under the name Queen + Paul Rodgers which ended in May 2009. Since 2011, May and Taylor have collaborated with vocalist Adam Lambert under the name of Queen + Adam Lambert. In late 2014, Queen will release a new album, Queen Forever, featuring vocals from the late Freddie Mercury.
The band have released a total of 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles, and 10 number one DVDs. Estimates of their record sales generally range from 150 million to 300 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. They received the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award from the British Phonographic Industry in 1990, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Did Dancing With The Stars Ask Former Miss Alabama To Dance In DWTS Season 16? (Rumor)
Is the former Miss Alabama, Katherine Webb, contemplating an offer from Dancing With The Stars? Today, the NY Post reported that Katherine was in New York last week being photographed for the new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. She was also seen at an eatery and overheard saying that Dancing With The Stars offered her a spot on the show. More below and the link!
Webb was also overheard saying that she was offered a spot in the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" but did not say whether she would participate.
As Heidi said to me privately (and I agree with her), take this "with a huge grain of salt".
Thanks to @DWTSGossip for the find.

Whatever happened to your __________?
Write about the fate of a past knitting project. Whether it be something that you crocheted or knitted for yourself or to give to another person. An item that lives with you or something which you sent off to charity.
I was mulling this one over last night on my way to knit night at I Knit London; and there, I met a couple of lovely women from Chicago who had met through knitting and had included IKL's knitting group on their itinerary of London. Totally aside from it being really interesting to meet more people from Chicago, a couple of the phrases one of them used struck me - charity knitting versus selfish knitting.
That sort of knocked me back. I knew exactly what she meant on one level; and then not on another. On a given day, in a given year, I suppose one of my on-the-go projects might be for me; but generally the other two (I try not to keep more than three things going) will be for someone else. Sometimes that someone else isn't terribly definite (I stash finished socks until they find the perfect recipient, or I just cave in and wear them myself; I do small amounts of test knitting which sit around until someone has a child who's the right size, that sort of thing...) but mostly, I do know the people I give knitting to. I do a small amount of charity knitting; but a very small amount. I wouldn't necessarily categorise the rest of my knitting as selfish though.
Before that - and I sort of had to get that off my chest without, actually knowing where I was going with that one - my subject for Where are they now? was a couple of baby/toddler cardigans I made quite some time ago.
The first one was made in the late spring of 1997, and I bought the yarn in a Phildar in Cahors, and cast on in the garden of the very first gîte (or, indeed, holiday) my ex-husband and I could afford after spending all our money in the previous few years making our house liveable-in. [On the way home, the car broke down irreparably around Orléans; and yet it still sticks in my mind as a really excellent holiday.] It had a garden full of butterflies, and, in between aiming the camera and the binoculars at them, I knitted this cardigan full of Weather. It had lightning clouds, and possibly ducks, and all sorts of little pictorial Fair Isle on it; and it was made for the prospective first child of college friends. All three of their children wore it; and then it was passed on to a sibling's children, and both of those children wore it. Somewhere, I have a picture of the Fifth Recipient wearing the cardi (and sorry, Anne, I can't find it). This was about 10 years later. The cuffs had almost entirely gone, and the general surface was pretty scrubbed, but it was a lovely picture of a small child, with food all over its face, wearing what was recognisably a completely knackered-through-wear Weather cardi.
The second was a cardi made in about 2001, in gold, orange and red DK cotton (three plies, one of each colour). Again, I made it for Big Sister, Little Sister wore it, and then it was passed along the road to the neighbour; which I realised when said neighbour came into the library one Saturday morning with her twins, and the little girl was wearing it, complete with the Fimo buttons I'd made for it, intact... We were ceremonially introduced (I was Suzanne's-Friend-Liz-Who-Knitted-The-Cardigan). I mentioned at that point that I had another of those buttons at home (they were made for a City and Guilds project). About a year later, the mother contacted me, to say it was a bit cheeky, but did I still have the button, as the cardigan was good as new but they'd lost a button and they wanted to pass it on to another family...
Seems to me that it's a very good reason to knit. You give knitted gifts to people, and sometimes they just don't connect, and are never worn. Sometimes they do connect, and the same person wears them and wears them until they wear out (my Dad's getting to that stage with the first Felted Tweed scarf I made him, I think; socks are good for that, too). And sometimes they do connect, and they're passed on, and whole families wear them, and friends of whole families.
It's heartwarming to know where things are occasionally; but it's not essential to making them in the first place...
