Thank you for your visit! You are all people as a bright as the moon…and your hearts shine with the light of a million heavenly stars.
You're Welcome to stay a while and read further. Check out the menu bar categories if you have time. Christine's About Me will give you some idea of who she is, and what she's up to as a writer and blogger. What's most important though, her everyday message to visitors – Before Sundown, remember what made you smile. To help you smile, check out the photo gallery below, of sunsets and sunrises from worldwide blogger friends.
Featured Sunset for 2020
Sunset Inn, Kezar Lake, Center Lovell, Maine
Around 1923, Gustav & Edna Heim (my grandparents) created Sunset Inn & Cottages on the shores of Kezar Lake. Today, Jane Orans owns it as part of Quisisana Resort on an adjacent piece of lakefront land. The present Quisisana represents a harmonious blending of the two resorts.
Ralph Burg, a Boston music-store owner bought Quisisana in 1946, added Sunset Inn in 1967, and created the current format of musical staff and nightly shows.
Musical tradition at Quisisana Hotel goes back to 1917 when Spenser & Madaline Strauss established the resort as a haven for musicians and music lovers who played together for their own entertainment.
A Quisisana guest, Gustav Heim, who served as first trumpeter with symphony orchestras in Boston and New York, with his wife, Edna, created Sunset Inn.
In the early 1940s, I learned to swim in Kezar Lake at Sunset Inn. I swam to the wooden raft and back a zillion times. Cousin Fred (3 days younger) and I had elaborate July birthday cakes made by the Sunset Inn pastry chef. The first 10 years of my life, there were many carefree, fun days at Sunset Inn.
Childhood memories come back to me in the featured 2020 Sunset photo header. I think I'll keep it up forever. It makes me smile, and I hope your childhood memories make you smile too. After all it's in the blog title, Before Sundown, remember what made you smile.
Happy All Seasons to my blog friends and visitors!

Kate Gosselin's finances are in the hot seat again! The mom of many, who just cannot be without her $2k Ted Gibson extensions and her
gigolo bodyguard, Steve Neild, is allegedly under tremendous financial strain since the cancellation of her unpopular reality show, Kate Plus 8!
The aspiring pimpmomager has been hard at work shilling coupons and running marathons, but, apparently, it's not enough! Rumors have surfaced that Kate is all but broke and is forced to host a Royal Caribbean Cruise this summer because she is "strapped for cash." Yeah – what a horrible job. Ugh. I so feel for you, Kate.
"The last thing Kate wants to do is hang out with complete strangers," a source tells HollyBaby. "She's doing it for a free vacation and because she needs money desperately." Kate has mentioned more than once that one of her big concerns about being dumped by TLC is the lack of luxury vacations! Why do I think a Kate Gosselin Cruise is not going to be the company's best-selling trip? Do you think she'll spend the entire week having meltdowns, screaming over pizza, and ordering the vacationers around so they can have the authentic Kate-perience?
And Kate is not letting go of her TV stardom dreams. "Kate wants her own show, a talk show, but it's just not panning out," the source explains. "Kate doesn't know what's next, but she's doing whatever she can to make money for her and the kids."
News of her depleted financial state has had many fans questioning just how she affords such luxury items as a bodyguard, particularly when Kate was all but begging her Twitter followers to help her afford the five laptops she needed to buy for her children! "Steve works for Kate for free," the source reveals. "If she ever pays him, it's the bare minimum."
Kate is apparently trying to drum up sympathy for her financial plight by taking to twitter to work the single mom angle. Despite telling Dr. Drew in a recent interview that she now has an amicable relationship with ex-husband Jon Gosselin, who is much more involved in their childrens' lives, Kate is still trashing him – albeit indirectly. And she is insinuating she needs money to pay for her children's necessities because she is raising her kids alone!
Apparently, one fan had enough, writing: "If only I had that money! Surely she has the money from her TV show to buy five laptops."
"do u personally no how exp raising 8 kids alone is?Didnt think so..didn't any1 teach u nvr 2 assume u no some1 else's $ situation?;" Kate responded. That prompted other tweeters to wonder just how the divorced mother became a single one, being that Jon is still there and very much involved in his kids' lives. "Kate, you are NOT raising kids alone. Don't lie. Also many moms here know what it's REALLY like to raids kids alone," one user seethed. Yikes!
Jon has not commented back, but an irate Kate went on a blocking rampage and encouraged fans to ignore and block these so-called negative users. Is she hanging out with Jill Zarin these days?
Speaking of Kate's rampant follower,s the egotistical wannabe A-lister has now coined a name for her illustrious fans. "How many more of u are 'Gosselinators'(a new term that I think means majorly dedicated truly devoted fans4life)?;" Kate wondered on twitter. She got one reply. Right – so Gosselinators… that's just… sad. I prefer Gosselinista, myself!

The Face-Off
As you would at any time in this game, smash things up! Past the yellow road barricades, you will find two stacks of LEGO pieces that help you continue forward from this point. After assembling them together, pull the lever on the right-hand security booth to lower the barricades so that the big armored vehicle can pull into the security scanner.
Once through, continue to the far right to find a suit changer with the Glide Suit. Change Batman into the new threadz and have him stand on the gray platform nearby. Switch to Robin and push the adjacent crank to manually and laboriously lift Batman to the scaffold above. From this height, Batman can now glide across to the other side.
A crucial lever is enclosed in an impenetrable wall of lasers. Aim the Batarang at the spinning red switch above to disable the lasers, freeing up access to the lever, which repairs the bridge. Fetch the armored truck from earlier and drive it onto the slightly raised platform to open the door. Before heading through the gate, jump on the five yellow poles to make a LEGO canister appear!
The primary point of interest here lies more to the right, where you will notice light protruding from a booth. Smash the booth with a truck by parking on the red panel on the ground and fix the LEGO pieces into a suit changer containing the Magnet Suit for Robin. Avoid going through the main entrance unless you enjoy dying over and over again. In addition, two LEGO canisters can be found here on the first playthrough. The first appears after you've destroyed all the blue barricades in front of the bank and constructed a huge money sign from the beige LEGO pieces. The second sits on a ledge in the very lower right corner of the area.
Free PlayTo the left of the bank, you will find the control panel to the main entrance's security lasers. Deactivate them to freely walk through the revolving doors to find this LEGO canister.
While wearing the Attract Suit, pay up 25 LEGOs to the Attracto machine to make some sprinklers appear. Some plants nearby grow into full-bloom, at which point you can take advantage of the extra jump momentum offered by the leaves to reach a high ledge on the cliff. Double jump up to an even higher ledge and then to the floating LEGO canister.
With the Magnet Suit on, climb the magnetic ramp on the left and pull the lever to lower the ladder. Swing over to the metal bars and shimmy your way over to the right until an opening allows you onto the second floor. Here, search for some LEGO pieces to build a zipline for Robin, then smash the items on the elevator to fix the elevator. Pull both levers to get the elevator functioning.
You square off against Two-Face this time in a environment that's less-than-friendly. As always, stay away from the green goo. Punch Two-Face a couple of times to send him running off (through the goo!). You can't follow him that way, so there has to be an alternative. Along the left wall are some objects you can smash. Clear them out of the way to reveal a suit changer underneath that holds the Attract Suit! Hop across the square platforms, sucking up as many spare LEGO parts as you can. Then drop off the needed 25 at the Attracto machine, which in turn belches a full-sized boat capable of traveling over the toxic substance!
Free PlayDuring the fight with Two-Face, just after making the boat, a LEGO canister becomes available, hidden away in the pipe unloading the toxic goo. Must have a character who is immune to toxins to get it. Next, dive head-first into the rectangular pool of toxins (the chasm that you had to build LEGO platforms to cross) to grab this LEGO canister.
Ride the boat to Two-Face and make him run off again. The LEGO pieces here create platforms for you to clear the chasm. Head to the green lever on the right, then glide over to the left and activate that one as well to swing open the bank vault. On the other side of the vault, notice the glowing and moving tiles. The moving tiles will cut you down if you cross paths with them, so weave around them to avoid getting destroyed. Color the four blue panels green to open the door ahead.
Free PlayBack in the room where you fought Two-Face, near the opened vault door, head off into the toxic pool with a toxin resistant character and tear up the place for a total of four buttons. Step on them in the proper order: red, blue, green and purple to gain access to the level's red power brick. Another LEGO canister can be found just on the opposite side on the right. Bring Mr. Freeze on the vapor mist to freeze it and use the subsequent ice platform to boost yourself up to the canister.
Resume the battle with Two-Face. It will be a standard brawl fest. Once Two-Face has been KOed, the Riddler joins the battle. Smash all five of the treasure chests around to receive a LEGO canister. You'll also find another LEGO canister in a blue-shaded alcove to the right.
At this point, you begin to discover the Riddler is untouchable while he constantly shoots lasers at you. Search within the stacks of gold bars to find LEGO pieces that assemble into a reflective shield that bats the Riddler's laser beam right back at him. Finish the locks on the remaining two gold stacks to smash them up. Hit him twice with his own beam to lure the Riddler to your level, so that you can properly greet him.
In a tag team sort of effort, Two-Face and the Riddler take turns battling you even though it may not be of his own volition for Two-Face. Simply just pummel each with the karate until the Riddler can take no more.

I am slowly waking up from what forced me into a cloud of dissociation 40 years ago!
At college age; I was about 25, I began to go into this cloud of further levels of concern! Finally I was completely taken over by dissociative disorder! and through homelessness and suicide attempts; hospitalized, I was put on Social security! IVe been working on these problems every since!
I am now starting to reconnect with the present! Im doing it; its strange and hard and feels like Im connecting to a big cartoon! Im half here, half not here!
Ive done the work! now Im coming back!
My mind is the type that gets ripped apart by trauma and recedes inwards into dissociative disorder! This happens every time!
PTSD land is all Ive known!
As for the locals; I grew up with many of them; they want nothing to do with me! its my condition they are prejudice or they question my character! Pure hate and contempt!
They are assassinating my character! Ive had this happen over n over in this small town!
its heart braking when you are abandon over n over; and you've done nothing to anyone!
They were my friends!
However, God has made it clear; they were no ones friends! they are arrogant punks that will pay the price of their questionable choices in front of God!
I am with God; not them!
I dont like being not liked when I valued their friendship! I must turn to God and stay with God! its that simple! the surroundings are not safe!

You must configure the new zone before you can install it. The parameter passed to the zoneadm create subcommand is the name of the zone to clone. This source zone must be halted.
You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.
Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.
To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Halt the source zone to be cloned, which is my-zone in this procedure.
global# zoneadm -z my-zone halt
Start configuring the new zone by exporting the configuration of the source zone my-zone to a file, for example, master.
global# zonecfg -z my-zone export -f /export/zones/master
You can also create the new zone configuration using the procedure How to Configure the Zone instead of modifying an existing configuration. If you use this method, skip ahead to Step 6 after you create the zone.
Edit the file master. Set different properties and resources for the components that cannot be identical for different zones. For example, you must set a new zonepath. For a shared-IP zone, the IP addresses in any net resources must be changed. For an exclusive-IP zone, the physical property of any net resources must be changed.
Create the new zone, zone1, by using the commands in the file master.
global# zonecfg -z zone1 -f /export/zones/master
Install the new zone, zone1, by cloning my-zone.
global# zoneadm -z zone1 clone my-zone
The system displays:
Cloning zonepath /export/home/my-zone...
Starting with Solaris 10 5/09, if the source zonepath is on a ZFS pool, for example, zeepool, the system displays:
Cloning snapshot zeepool/zones/my-zone@SUNWzone1 Instead of copying, a ZFS clone has been created for this zone.
List the zones on the system.
ID NAME STATUS PATH BRAND IP 0 global running / native shared - my-zone installed /export/home/my-zone native shared - zone1 installed /export/home/zone1 native shared
When the zoneadm command clones a source zonepath that is on its own ZFS file system, the following actions are performed:
The zoneadm command takes a software inventory.
The zoneadm command takes a ZFS snapshot and names it SUNWzoneX, for example, SUNWzone1.
The zoneadm command uses ZFS clone to clone the snapshot.

Now that Jerry Sandusky's officially a convicted pedophile, it was only a matter of time until the avalanche of civil lawsuits against him began pouring forth. According to Johnstown, Pa., television station WJAC, the first one since last week's verdict was filed today on behalf of three of the victims Sandusky is guilty of abusing, plus another victim who had already filed suit against Penn State last month.
This lawsuit, however, goes after neither Sandusky nor Penn State. It alleges that Sandusky's abuse began "as far back as the 1970s," in WJAC's words. Here's more:
Instead, the target is the organization founded by Sandusky, the Second Mile Foundation.
The Second Mile wants to distribute its assets to a group called Arrow Ministries, but this new court filing is hoping to block that move. The suit is filed on behalf of Victims 3, 5, and 7 as identified in the Sandusky grand jury indictment.
Also included is another defendant listed as John Doe A, who claims Sandusky molested him well over a hundred times.

James Manzi is lucky to be alive. When the 79-year-old Brentwood, California, resident arrived at Ronald Reagan UCLA [University of California, Los Angeles] Medical Center's emergency room in full cardiac arrest, the medical team tried everything to stabilize him, including shocking his heart 29 times with a defibrillator in an attempt to restore a normal rhythm.
Often, patients whose heart attacks are as severe as Manzi's don't survive. Only one out of every 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital lives through the ordeal.
As the team worked, UCLA emergency medicine physician Dr. Eric Savitsky monitored Manzi's diminishing response to their resuscitative efforts using a combination of bedside ultrasound of the heart and clinical indicators.
This led to an emergency request for a rarely used but potentially lifesaving technology known as extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation, or ECMO.
ECMO involves the use of a sophisticated pump that takes over the functions of the heart and lungs, essentially breathing for the patient by pumping oxygenated blood to vital organs so the lungs can rest. This helps reduce stress on the heart. The device is traditionally used to support adults in cardiac failure waiting for a heart transplant and to help protect the delicate respiratory systems of infants born prematurely.
Fortunately, it worked in Manzi's case too. His heart stabilised, allowing the cardiac team to transport him to the cardiac catheterisation lab, where he underwent coronary angioplasty on an artery that was completely blocked. Following the procedure, doctors placed a stent in the artery to keep it open; blood flow was completely restored.
While Manzi's heart function recovered enough that ECMO was removed three days after his heart attack, he had also suffered anoxic brain injury as a result of his brain not getting enough oxygen during the heart attack - a common occurrence after cardiac arrest.
After five weeks in the hospital's intensive care unit, he was transferred to UCLA's neuro-rehabiltation unit, where he completed his rehabilitation, making a nearly 100 per cent recovery.
At a recent follow-up visit, UCLA cardiologist Dr William Suh, who performed the cardiac procedures during Manzi's heart attack, confirmed that the patient was doing remarkably well.
"I've always enjoyed my life and now appreciate it even more," said the father of five, who also has six grandchildren. "Just being alive is wonderful."
Manzi underwent heart bypass surgery 20 years ago and wore a pacemaker to help keep his heart rhythms normal. He had been virtually symptom-free for years. But on 3 January, as he was having dinner with his wife and friends, the heart attack hit. He was rushed to UCLA.
Only hospitals equipped to treat the most advanced cases have the ability to perform ECMO, since the technology requires a multi-disciplinary team of specialised physicians, nurses and perfusionists.
The minimally invasive procedure works by taking deoxygenated blood from a vein in the groin via a catheter, circulating that blood outside the body by means of a tube that passes through an oxygenator, then returning the newly oxygenated blood to body through another catheter into an artery in the groin.
"We are so pleased that this rare use of ECMO helped save Mr. Manzi's life," said Savitsky, a professor of emergency medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. "ECMO may be a viable option in very select heart attack patients who come to emergency rooms that are equipped to provide this therapy."
Barbara Manzi, who has been married to James for 23 years, said that once the doctors and nurses returned her husband to her, she was never going to let him go. She is very grateful to the UCLA team for saving his life and calls the nurses her "angels in green" - a reference to the color of their scrubs.
"This is an amazing example of a dedicated UCLA team going above and beyond conventional lifesaving measures," said Suh, an assistant clinical professor of medicine and interventional cardiology with Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. "We are thrilled that Mr. Manzi is doing well."
The UCLA team hopes to help more patients like Manzi.
The emergency, cardiology and cardiac surgery departments at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center are developing a protocol for the appropriate use of ECMO for select heart attack patients in the emergency room setting. Hopefully, they say, this can lead to better survival in those patients who arrive at the hospital in cardiac arrest.

Cazenovia boys lacrosse shines defensively in win over Baldwinsville
CAZENOVIA >> Entering the 2013 boys lacrosse season there were some questions about Cazenovia's defense. How would it hold up after losing several starters from last year's team that made the Section III final?
That question was answered in a big way when the Lakers' longsticks held Class A Baldwinsville to four goals in a 5-4 double-overtime victory. The visitors had long possessions to start both overtime periods, but the Lakers wouldn't break. The stellar defense allowed Connor Cannizzaro to score the game-winner for Cazenovia with 1:10 to play in the second extra period.
"Defense was a little bit of a concern going in (to the season)," Cazenovia head coach Jim Longo said. "We graduated two or three last year. For us to hold a team like this to four goals, that says something."
The game looked like it would be a high scoring affair when Cannizzaro scored just over a minute into the game. The Bees won the ensuing face-off, but quickly turned the ball over. The Lakers couldn't capitalize on a long possession and Zach Bulak tied the game for Baldwinsville with a fast-break goal with 4:26 to play in the first. Cazenovia quickly retook the lead when Brad Nardella scored two minutes later and the Lakers took the 2-1 lead into the second quarter.
The goalies were in control for most of the second frame. Baldwinsville tried to knot the game early in the period, but Cazenovia goalie Trevor Cross stopped shots by Connor Chapman and Austen McAskill before turning a Sean Barron shot away from point blank range. The Bees got the rebound, but the Lakers' Joe Colligan forced a turnover to give the hosts possession. Then it was Parker Ferrigan's chance to shine in front of the net, turning away shots by Cannizzaro and Nardella. Baldwinsville took advantage when Bulak scored his second goal with 2:27 to play in the second quarter. The score remained knotted at halftime.
Much as it did to start the first half, Cazenovia quickly scored to start the third quarter. Conor Race found P.J. Brown and Brown beat Ferrigan to put the Lakers up 3-2. It would be the only goal for the rest of the quarter. Baldwinsville had a great chance to tie the game when Chapman forced a turnover in Cazenovia's end with Cross out of the goal. The Bees couldn't take advantage, firing a shot wide of the goal.
Alex Sullivan gave the Lakers an insurance goal early in the fourth period before the Bees rallied. Billy Hamm cut the lead to one with a fast-break goal with 9:10 to play. Ron Bertrand nearly tied the game with 7:20 to play but his shot ricocheted off the top of the crossbar. The lefty had another chance two minutes later but fired wide. Steven Petielli finally knotted the score with 3:40 to play off a Bulak assist. Nardella won the ensuing face-off to give Cazenovia a chance to win in regulation. Kyle Brown missed with a pair of shots, and an errant pass in the closing seconds sent the game to overtime.
Baldwinsville won the face-off in the first extra period. Eric Candee missed the first shot high and Cazenovia got the ball back thanks to a push. Ferrigan's save gave the Bees the ball back but Cross responded with a stop of his own and the game went to a second overtime.
The visitors won the face-off to start the second overtime as well. Bertrand took the first shot but it was blocked out of bounds by the Lakers defenders. He got another chance but Cross stopped it and Longo called time-out with 1:35 to play. Cannizzaro quickly ended the game once play resumed, cutting through the defense and firing the ball bottom-left past Ferrigan to give Cazenovia the victory.
"I just saw an opening," the Maryland-bound senior said of his game-winner. "The middle was wide open and then it closed. When they started to ease off I came back in and shot it."
The Lakers improved to an impressive 3-0 after previously beating last year's Section III champion Homer and semifinalist Lafayette.
"I'm pleasantly surprised," said Longo. "I purposefully scheduled competitive games thinking we were up to the challenge. I knew playing the best; win, lose or draw, we'll be that much better for it."
Baldwinsville 1 1 0 2 0 0 - 4
Cazenovia 2 0 1 1 0 1 - 5
Baldwinsville (0-0, 1-3): Zach Bulak 2-1, Steve Petrelli 1-1, Billy Hamm 1-0, Sean Barron 0-1, Kyle Akers 0-1. Saves: Parker Ferrigan 15.
Cazenovia (0-0, 3-0): Kyle Brown 1-0, Brad Nardella 1-0, Connor Cannizzaro 2-1, Alex Sullivan 1-0. Saves: Trevor Cross 14.

Arachnids are defined as invertebrate animals that have eight legs. However, in some arachnids the front pair of legs may have adapted for feeding, defense, and sensory perception rather than walking. Almost all arachnids live on land, although some live in freshwater areas. There are over 100,000 … [Read more...]

#9: Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag (1928)
94 points (16 votes, #5, #2, #8, #7, #6, #3, #6, #5, #9, #2, #7, #3, #7, #3, #5, #5)
Because when I read it as an adult, I was transported directly back to Miss Rita Lewandowski's kindergarten class and anything that can do that must be powerful. – Jim Averbeck
Not only was this a ground-breaking picture book, but it has one of the best refrains ever. – Faith Brautigam
I think I like it because the cats so improbably eat each other all up. I spent lots of time trying to figure out how they could do that. – Sherry Early
Who would have thought that a tale of cannibalistic felines would turn out to be one of the greatest storytime classics of all time?
With its 1928 publication date, Millions of Cats came close to becoming the oldest picture book on this list. It was narrowly beaten by The Tale of Peter Rabbit (cheekily published in 1902). However, according to 100 Best Books for Children, this title has the distinction of being the American picture book that has continuously been in print the longest. Take THAT you wascally wabbit!
The synopsis of this book's plot from B&N reads, "An old couple is lonely – if only they had a pretty white cat! The old man finds a hill covered with cats and brings them home. His wife points out that they cannot possibly keep them all. The cats get in a fight over who gets to stay, and the couple is left with a scrawny little kitten. With love, the kitten becomes the most beautiful cat in the world."
Was Millions of Cats the impetus that brought about the Caldecott Medal? Possibly. As Minders of Make-Believe puts it, "when librarians awarded Millions of Cats a Newbery Honor, they chose to recognize the book's distinction while apparently not feeling quite right about giving the literature prize to a picture book. It may well have been then that the idea for a companion award for illustration was born, although it would be another decade before the Caldecott Medal became a reality. . ." Remember, the first Newbery Award was given out in 1922. It wouldn't be until 1938 that the Caldecott would come along as well.
Wanda Gag, of course, is one of those artists that rocked the bohemian scene. Ernestine Evans of Coward-McCann (coward?) attended one of Gag's art shows and saw the potential there. Minders says, "When Evans contacted her about the possibility of their working together on a picture book, Gag in her diary at first belittled the project as something to be executed rapidly, for the money. She soon would decide otherwise and conclude that she had stumbled onto a major new pathway for her artistry. Many another graphic artist of her generation – including some inspired directly by Gag's example – would come to the same conclusion." 100 Best Books for Children supplements this information with an additional note. Apparently even before Evans came along, Gag had been working on this book. But in 1922 and 1923 she was unable to locate a willing publisher. After Evans showed interest, "Gag returned to her 1923 manuscript and extensively rewrote it; in the process the refrain 'Cats here, cats there, / Cats and kittens everywhere, / Hundreds of cats, / Thousands of cats, / Millions and billions and trillions of cats' became more pronounced with each revision."
That kind of revision has meant that the picture book itself is hugely influential, even to this day. After all, it has been noted more than once that the 2009 Caldecott winner In the House of the Night appears to be a kind of ode to Gag's style. Certainly the two books have their similarities. Just look at the cats!
Want to see a little Gag up close? An article in MinnPost.com about a man who sold his literary archives to the University of Minnesota said that this original
Kerlan Collection, the U's internationally significant vault of children's literature, contains original manuscripts and illustrations of Arnold Lobel's 'Frog and Toad are Friends,' Margaret Wise Brown's 'Goodnight Moon,' and Wanda Gag's 'Millions of Cats,' among many others. The illustrations can be particularly desirable; New Ulm artist Gag's work now sells for thousands of dollars."The
There was one other place you could get your Gag fix, though. Until recently the Donnell Central Children's Room owned one of the original wood blocks created by Wanda Gag for Millions of Cats. Now it remains in the hands of the conservators of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Ah well.
A special place in my heart will always remain for that delightful faux sequel (with a graphic so real you'll half suspect it's on the up-and-up) Millions of Rats.
By the way, special love for the person who turned this book into an elaborate cake. It was created by Karen McCain and Nancy Kaul and was a runner-up at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library Edible Book Festival back in April 4, 2008.
The New York Times called it "A perennial favorite."
And SLJ's One Hundred Books That Shaped the Century (I just discovered this!) said, " Considered by many to have ushered in the age of the modern picture book, this Newbery Honor winner is characterized by innovative design and a strong storyteller's cadence."

Stacy Lattisaw first came to my attention via reading Aretha Franklin's first autobiography. She described Lattisaw's duets with future New Edition vocalist Johnny Gill as inspiring her to choose Narada Michael Walden to produce her on 1985's Who's Zoomin Who album. Aretha made note of the strong production involved. A DC native,Lattisaw debut at age 12 in 1979,produced by the late Van McCoy. As soon as she began her involvement with Walden as her producer in 1981,he had a string of five albums through 1986. Not to mention being the opening act for the Jackson's 1981 Triumph tour.
Along with the aforementioned New Edition and (solo) Johnny Gill,Lattisaw represented the major teen idols of the black community for America during the early/mid 1980's. I made it my business to seek out her many find post disco records on CD over the last three or four years. Interestingly enough,I haven't absorbed them in as strong a way as they probably deserve to be. One of these albums was 1983's 16,released at a key transitional period between the live instrumental post disco sound and the electro funk/dance style that was about to emerge. So far,its opening title song says an awful lot.
A loud howl inaugurates Walden's opening drum line-a strong 3-4 beat hit with pounding percussion accents. His synth bass collides with Randy Jackson's ticklish 6 note bass line. On the many refrains and choruses, Corrado Rustici's rhythm guitar either plays a straight one chord groove or a deeper liquid one. On the second half of each bridge,there's a dance friendly,melodic digital bell sound. On the bridge,David Sancious plays an improvisational synthesizer solo. On the repeating choruses that lead the song out,the discordant sax improvisations of Marc Russo play on with Lattisaw's vocals as the song fades out.
As with pretty much any uptempo number Narada Michael Walden sunk his teeth into in the early 80's,"16″ grooves extremely hard. Its definitely possessed of the synth brass oriented electro dance/funk approach of its time. On the other hand,its electro dance/funk played by some of the most creative jazz/funk instrumentalists to emerge from the mid to late 1970's. And none of them every simplify their talents to suit the more poppy electronic grooves. They and Lattisaw bring out the funk,and all the musical improvisation,they can in this song. Which in turn is some of the finest funk of its time.

Pre-emptive treatment helped curtail skin toxicity with panitumumab
(18 January 2009: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- With a pre-emptive, prophylactic skin regimen, patients who receive panitumumab for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer may be able to avoid some of the skin-associated toxicities, according to data presented at the 2009 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in San Francisco.
Edith Mitchell, M.D., a clinical professor in the Department of Medical Oncology at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, presented data from the study, which was the first prospective study to compare pre-emptive and reactive skin treatment for skin toxicities related to panitumumab. The study was co-led by Dr. Mitchell and Mario Lacouture, M.D., an assistant professor of Dermatology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
Skin toxicities are the most common adverse effects related to panitumumab, which is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The toxicities could include erythema, dermatitis, pruritus, pustules, rash, and hair and nail changes.
"Panitumumab and the other EGFR inhibitors are now key components to the treatment strategies for metastatic colorectal cancer," Dr. Mitchell said. "But the majority of the patients who receive these agents suffer from skin toxicities, and for some patients, the treatment must be interrupted or discontinued. If we can prevent or minimize these toxicities, it would be a significant advance in patient care."
The researchers studied 95 patients receiving panitumumab in combination with irinotecan-based chemotherapy. The patients were randomized to receive pre-emptive skin toxicity treatment initiated 24 hours prior to the first dose of panitumumab, then given daily through week six, or reactive skin treatment after the skin toxicity developed. The skin treatment included moisturizers, sunscreen, topical steroids and oral doxycycline.
The primary endpoint was the incidence of specific grade 2 or higher skin toxicities during the six week skin treatment period. The incidence of these toxicities was reduced more than 50% in the group that received pre-emptive treatment.
Quality of life was also assessed, using the Dermatology Life Quality Index. Patients who received the pre-emptive, prophylactic skin treatment regimen reported an improved quality of life, even around week three, which was the median time to first grade 2 or higher skin toxicity in the reactive skin treatment group.
"This study supports the notion that, as with other side effects to cancer treatments, it is more advantageous to treat prophylactically, than to wait for the side effect to fully develop," Dr. Lacouture said. "Futhermore, it shows that treating early on does not affect the benefit received from the anticancer therapy."

Blueberry Cheesecake recipe
Need a rich and gorgeous-looking cake to serve with coffee or finish your next dinner party? I wholeheartedly recommend this chocolate-blueberry-sour cream cheesecake. There's a Digestive and dark chocolate base (graham crackers would work just as well), topped with blueberry and cream cheese layer. These two layers are baked in the oven. When the cheesecake is cooled, it's topped with a third layer, a sour cream jelly layer, which provides a stunning contrast in colour as well as a cooling flavour and texture contrast. Our family and friends were very pleased with the cake.
You can use both blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) or bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) for making this cake. The first are more common in the US, are larger and whitish inside, the latter are more common in Europe (Scottish blaeberries, French myrtilles, Estonian mustikad), are smaller and blackish-blue inside (see here for a very good comparison of the two). I used the latter - simply because it's the bilberry season just now, and it's a very good year for local bilberries (reflected also in the prices at the market.
Note that the anthocyanin content of fresh bilberries is almost 4 times higher than in blueberries, so if you can choose between the two, go for the smaller wild berries.
The cheesecake keeps for a few days in the fridge.
Blueberry Cheesecake
Adapted from Allt om Mat (a Swedish food magazine)
Serves 8 to 12
Cookie base:
200 g Digestives or graham crackers
50 g dark chocolate, chopped
75 g unsalted butter, melted
Cream cheese layer:
400 g cream cheese
200 g sour cream/creme fraiche
100 g caster sugar
250 g blueberries/bilberries
2 Tbsp cornflour/cornstarch
grated zest of 1 small lemon
1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
Sour cream jelly layer:
200 g sour cream
170 g caster sugar (200 ml)
3 gelatine leaves
Pre-heat the oven to 175 C/350 F.
Cover the base of a 24 cm/10'' springform tin with parchment paper.
Make the cookie base: Place Digestives and chopped dark chocolate into your food processor and process till fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and process again till combined and moist. Press the cookie mixture onto the base of your prepared tin. Bake for about 10 minutes in the pre-heated oven.
Meanwhile, make the cheesecake layer. Use a kitchen tissue to wipe the bowl of your food processor clean. Place all the ingredients into the bowl and process till smooth and dark purple in colour. Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the pre-baked cookie base, smoothing the top. Return to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, until it looks set (it'll set further when cooling).
Remove from the oven, let cool to the room temperature, then cover with kitchen foil or clingfilm and place into a fridge or a cold larder overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
Couple of hours before serving, cover the the cheesecake with the sour cream jelly layer. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for about 5 minutes.
Mix sour cream and sugar in a small saucepann and heat slowly on a low heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar has melted. The mixture should be about 60-70 C (140-158 F). Now squeeze the gelatine leaves dry, one at a time, and stir into the sour cream mixture until amalgamated.
Pour the sour cream mixture carefully on top of your cooled cheesecake and return to the fridge for an hour or two.
To serve, carefully transfer the cheesecake onto your serving tray. Decorate with more berries and serve, cutting into slices of your preferred size.

For readers in Canada and the US, where sheet gelatin isnt available, one tablespoon of powdered gelatin supposedly equals 4 gelatin sheets. So if youre using the generally available Knox powdered gelatin, go for 3/4 of a tablespoon.

Bought all the ingredients - then got home and found I was out of gelatin. This one will have to wait, Blueberry Sour Cream pie it is! :-)
PS I was also tempted to use peaches instead of blueberries, think this is a most adaptable recipe, my favorite kind!

"This is a hugely accomplished choir, demonstrating technical mastery, smooth musicianship, and wonderful phrasing, producing a warm, fantastic sound throughout the range."
The Wellensian Consort
The Wellensian Consort has rapidly established a reputation as one of the United Kingdom's leading chamber choirs. Its members met whilst singing in the choirs of Wells Cathedral School and were reunited by their conductor, Christopher Finch, to celebrate the School's 1100 year anniversary in 2009. Since their debut concert, they have received great acclaim for the quality and vibrancy of their performances and have performed to a series of rapturous audiences throughout the country. Since their triumph in the UK's leading choral competition Choir of the Year 2010 the Wellensian Consort has performed across the UK, including appearances at Cadogan Hall, Cheltenham Music Festival, Wells Cathedral, Wigmore Hall, and broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and 2, and on BBC ONE.
Their debut CD was released on the NAXOS label to universal critical acclaim (Bob Chilcott: Everyone Sang). In a collaboration with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and the Will Todd Ensemble, the Wellensian Consort's second CD 'Footprints', featuring the music of Will Todd, will be released in January 2015.

The onset of joint pain may or may not lead to serious structural changes and disability that can be addressed by surgical treatment, or, in the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis, yield to emerging pharmaceutical trials hoping to derail autoimmune destruction. But regardless, a supportive plan that includes these basics will help joints be the best they can be.
"Arthritis" simply means pain in the joints. It names a symptom and is not a diagnosis; it therefore begs the question: What is causing it?
Arthritis has been classified into two types:**
• Inflammatory [rheumatoid arthritis, caused by a malfunctioning autoimmune system that often leads to destruction of joints], and
• Degenerative [osteoarthritis, the consequence of the gradual wearing out of the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones, causing damage and inflammation].
But most sufferers usually have a bit of both, so regardless of the type of arthritis one has, my treatment is the same.
Be Careful with Pain-Killers
Arthritis usually presents with pain. Pain is Nature's way of making you rest. Taking pain-killers such as Paracetamol (acetaminophen in the US) and Co-proxamol (Darvon), and anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, etc., is likely to make you use a joint which should be rested and will damage the joint and accelerate the rate of deterioration. "Indocid hip" is a well-recognized syndrome (an accelerated arthritis caused by taking pain killers inappropriately, requiring early hip replacement).
That might be acceptable for someone on the waiting list for a hip replacement but not for those who want their joints to last as long as possible! I think it is reasonable to take pain-killers to help sleep, but not if the joint is to be used.
Nutritional Treatment of Arthritis (Basic)
As I get older, my treatments seem to me to be more obviously logical! Whoever comes into my surgery, for whatever reason, gets the standard package of treatments that we should all be undergoing in order to optimize our current health and prevent future complications. This package of treatments (the general approach to maintaining and restoring good health) is as follows:
• Stone Age Diet (meats, seafood, eggs, greens and veggies, nuts & seeds, fruits such as berries) – It is remarkable how many cases of joint-pain resolve on a stoneage diet! For me, avoiding dairy products is crucial, and I can now see how a long family-history of hip-pain could have been avoided. Do not skip the diet! It may be the hardest thing to do initially, but is more than probably the most important.
• Nutritional Supplements – Include a multivitamin, a multimineral, essential fatty acids, and vitamins C and D. Vitamin D is essential to prevent osteoporosis; so get plenty of sunshine or take a vitamin D supplement in the form of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) 2,000iu daily. See "Vitamin D – most of us do not get enough."
• Sleep – Get a good night's sleep on a regular basis. See "Sleep is vital for good health."
• Fitness and Posture – Human beings never evolved to walk upright, and our bodies only work if they are kept in the correct position and muscles kept strong. My view is that unless you are conscientious about posture and do daily exercises (such as Pilates, yoga), then you will get joint and/or muscle problems at some stage. Joints are intrinsically unstable and all joints benefit from strong muscles supporting them, so keep yourself fit generally.
This is not as hard to achieve as you may think. 12 minutes a week is all that is required! See "Exercise – if you don't use it you lose it" and "Exercise – the right sort."
The 'Bolt-On Extras' for Joint or Muscle Pain & Osteoporosis
For a great many people the above interventions, done properly, are all that is required to cure their muscle pain and arthritis. Most people like to skim through this handout and cherry-pick the things they can do most easily, often missing the most important things like diet and exercise!
However, if the above has been done properly, and further improvement is sought, then the extra interventions are as follows:
1. Physical Interventions
With any case of arthritis, an opinion from a good physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor is always helpful, since much joint-pain is caused by poor posture and poor musculature. The human skeleton evolved for a creature which was meant to walk around on all-fours, and by adopting the upright position we have put great stresses on it.
2. More Nutritional Supplements
• Other nutritional supplements which are extremely helpful and of proven benefit in all types of arthritis – These include: Devil's Claw (anti-inflammatory), glucosamine (raw material for connective tissue), strontium (for strong bone), boron (necessary for calcium and magnesium metabolism), vitamin D3 (for absorption of calcium and magnesium in bone), and organic silica (considered a serious rival to NSAIDS). These can be purchased separately, but a mix [available in the UK] is good for all connective tissue, including muscle, tendon, bone and gut, and highly protective against osteoporosis. See "Action Against Arthritis – AAA" for detail.

• High dose vitamin B3 (niacinamide, the activated form of niacin) – Dr. William Kaufman, a physician working in America (recognized for his groundbreaking work in arthritis therapy), has shown how high dose B3 as niacinamide (not niacin) works extremely well for all sorts of arthritis.
The best results are achieved by taking regular low doses, such as 100-500mgs, six times daily. Dr. Kaufmann was very particular about this – he insisted on small regular doses. Start with this and if you get benefit, try slow release niacinamide 1,500mgs daily, perhaps increasing to 2-3 daily. Results can be outstanding with less pain and marked improvement in joint mobility. Indeed, Kaufman documented this carefully by measuring the range of joint movement of several joints before and after therapy in 1,386 patients with predictably good results. He suggested that niacinamide worked by accelerating the rate at which joints healed so arresting the degenerative process because it was effective regardless of the cause of the arthritis.
My guess is that niacinamide is an essential part of energy delivery at the cellular level. Because joints are deprived of a good blood supply (they are white if you cut them open) niacinamide effectively improves energy delivery and so healing.
Rarely there can be upsets in liver function but this is accompanied by nausea. So if you feel a bit sick, get liver function tests checked.
• Antioxidants – In inflammation, the white cells are overactive and reacting against things that they really shouldn't. The process of white cells being overactive results in the release of superoxides. If you think of your immune system as a little army, then superoxides are the bullets that they fire in order to kill bacteria and viruses. However, if these are aimed at one's own joints, then essentially one's joints become damaged by friendly fire.
Trying to identify the cause of excessive white cell activity, such as allergy, will obviously be very helpful. However, one can also tackle this by using antioxidants. Antioxidants are the molecules which mop up these superoxides (free radicals) and limit the damage that they may cause. So attention to antioxidant status is going to be very helpful. See Antioxidants – Crucial 'A-Team' in the Fight Against Aging and "Antioxidants and Free Radicals – What They Are and What They Do."
• Vitamin B-12 – Vitamin B-12 is extremely useful because it effectively gives instant antioxidant cover whilst one is correcting levels of the above. I find vitamin B-12 very useful in many cases of what I call useless inflammation (such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis) because I suspect it is acting as a damage limitation molecule. B-12 is often helpful in bursitis (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Jeep bottom, housemaid's knee, etc.).
• Chinese remedy – An old Chinese remedy for arthritis is twice boiled chicken bones. This makes great sense because all the raw materials for making new bone and cartilage are to be found in stock from boiled bones. So do buy and boil up bones for stock for soups and stews. I do! [ProHealth Note: In this regard, read about the recent development of "Undenatured Type II Collagen – Chicken Soup for Your Joints."]
Keep Your Joints Warm
Joints have a very poor blood-supply. If a joint is cut open, it appears white because it has no direct blood-supply. The oxygen has to diffuse a long way from the blood vessels before it gets into the joint. I suspect that the reason why cold weather affects joints badly is because the blood-supply is reduced and so the oxygen supply to the joints is cut off. This causes a build-up of free-radicals and therefore pain.
It is vital to keep all joints warm! People often feel better in a hot climate, partly because their joints are warm, partly because of the sunshine making vitamin D, and partly because diets in hot climates are usually closer to the "Stone Age" diet.
Keep Muscles Moving
Muscles are dynamic structures that hate stillness and welcome movement. This is because the circulation of blood to, and the venous and lymphatic drainage of, muscles is partly dependent on their rhythmical contraction and relaxation, which pumps nutrients in and waste products out. This is why massage is so good for almost any muscle problem. A build-up of waste-products such as lactic acid causes pain. See "Muscle Stiffness" and "Fibromyalgia."
"Inflammatory" Arthritis, e.g., Rheumatoid, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reiter's
Some people with arthritis are reacting allergically to their own gut flora and there has been interesting work that links Rheumatoid Arthritis with allergy to Proteus mirabilis, and Ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis that primarily affects the spine) to allergy to Klebsiella. See "Ankylosing spondylitis." In these cases, taking high dose probiotics may also be helpful. See "Probiotics."
Also see "Autoimmune Diseases – The environmental approach to treating" for further ideas for reducing inflammation.
Herbal Remedies
Many of these are of proven benefit, but I would not suggest them until all of the above have been well tried. This is because the above remedies are addressing the root causes of problems, which to me seems the logical way to proceed. I do not know how many of the herbal remedies work; I just know they do! Because Devil's Claw is so good, I put this in my "Action Against Arthritis" supplement mix.
Surgery or Not?
Ultimately everybody has to work out their own package which helps them. The key obviously is to try to find the cause of the arthritic pain. And if the above package is not giving worthwhile improvements, then diagnostic X-rays and MRI scans can be extremely useful to look for structural changes that may need operative treatment.
But do not consider surgery until all the above interventions have been properly tried and given a chance to work!
Also see "Osteoporosis – Practical Nutritional Considerations." Many late cases of arthritis have periarticular osteoporosis (when bone building is not keeping up with bone reabsorption, but bone mass reduction is less severe than in osteoporosis), so these two subjects should be addressed together.

Equities are higher, the dollar is flat, bonds are slightly lower, oil is down, gold is down, silver is down, and food commodities are mixed with the price of rice soaring.
Today we will see the Manufacturing ISM and Construction Spending at 10 Eastern. The data highlight of the week comes Friday with the April Employment Report.
It's a matter of TRUST, of CONfidence. I don't have it, and am losing faith with each BIZARRE episode.
MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH (this would include almost all who participate in the mainstream media, and those who cannot digest and handle the facts). My CON Game radar has been going full scale tilt lately – and there are enough data points of fact to confirm without any doubt that my Con Game Radar has good reason to lack trust. I am going to stay focused and on point – the subjects I am about to cover are absolutely on point and have vast implications for our economy. Do not shoot the messenger, and process the facts!
Taboo subject #1 – Obama's Recently released long form Birth Certificate: This is now CONFIRMED to be a manipulated FAKE. Many people have now analyzed it, and it was pieced together on a computer – you now cannot dispute that FACT. There are so many manipulations that it is crazy and makes you wonder why such a glaring forgery was presented to the public? There are at least two smoking guns in all the manipulations, the latest is the fact that Adobe's software tracks how a picture is assembled. As you can see in this video, this "certificate" was assembled and manipulated together from pieces found on the internet:
Can you process that?
It is a fake. Forging official birth certificates is against the law. Having the President of the United States present a fake certificate is something entirely different altogether. It represents the height of the breakdown of the rule of law.
Now, who produced it and why is one question that must be answered. You cannot laugh this away or claim "nutjob" over this fact. The fact that Obama and the media is making jokes and painting those looking into it as nutjobs is a sick and twisted form of manipulation. Even if Obama was set up with this obvious fake, he is guilty of not doing his own due diligence and of not appointing a competent team to surround him. This is absolutely worthy of removing him from office – process the facts. The real question in my mind is why is he so obviously being set up, and by whom?
Process it – deal with it.
Bizarre Subject #2: Osama Bin Laden's Death. Here I do not have smoking gun facts, but my manipulation radar is going off like mad, and it did so from the instant this was announced – here's why…
Well BEFORE this was announced publically, oil, silver, and gold in the futures market began to tank. In fact, silver gapped down 10%.
Now, this is evidence of nothing more than the usual insider information flow, insider trading, and insider manipulation. But again, it's about TRUST. You want to invest in markets where insiders move your positions 10%+ on the open based on information that had to come from the inside of the Administration? Information you don't possess at the same time? Not me, no thanks… no trust.
Now, overnight pictures of a dead Osama were published by some mainstream media. Those pictures, it turns out, were also fake – pulled straight off the internet and have been around for years. Oops – now retracted, great reporting.
Then this morning it was announced that Osama's dead corpse was buried at sea!!! Now my manipulation radar is SCREAMING at me! Nice justification to hide evidence – oh yeah, DNA samples are being processed… but we had to bury him at sea to satisfy Muslim beliefs!
Tell me one time in history – just one time – that anything like that has ever been done in such a hasty manner? Sorry, but if you are buying all of this, I have some swamp land in Florida for you. Again, I don't have any smoking gun facts here, but let me just say that the way this was handled does anything but build trust.
Process it – and ask yourself why did this happen now?
From my perspective the forged Birth Certificate is a show stopper – if the media fails to pick up on it, and if the President is not held accountable for its presentation, then there's really no need to even go on discussing "markets." There will be no rule of law, and those who participate in these "markets," or who fail to acknowledge this CRIME will be complicit in allowing the breakdown of the rule of law, and in the accompanying lack of trust, and destruction of confidence.
Oh, and don't forget about the bizarre handling of the still raging nuclear accident still in progress – the breakdown of the rule of law, the corporate capture, the GREED, has caused and is still causing massive quantities of radiation to pour into the environment – it is BIZARRE that this is being ignored and improperly handled. We are discussing the widespread cast of radiation worldwide and there is a plethora of information that the media is ignoring and that we are discussing inside of our daily thread – come join the discussion, join reality.
And equally BIZARRE is the complete and total CAPTURE that has occurred with corporations and their "regulators." Here are two MORE glaring examples:
Monsanto Will Soon Be Allowed To Police Itself
… The pilot program will allow these companies to conduct their own environmental assessments of crops or outsource the work to contractors. The USDA will still get the final say in determining the safety of crops.
Here the corporation is being allowed to be the regulator. Hey, might as well call a spade a spade, that's what was effectively happening anyway. Corporate capture to the extreme.
Then there's this:
There Goes the Data: Major Cuts at EIA Washington
One of my greatest concerns coming out of the financial crisis of 2008 was that, eventually, free services like government data would be reduced or lost altogether. This afternoon I learned from EIA Washington that one of the cornerstones of my own work, and also the work of others globally, is about to be suspended: the gathering of International Energy Statistics. For me professionally, this is among the most important gateways to monthly data on global oil production. As I said, after 2008 I came to recognize my own professional dependency on this free data. But, I never actually expected to lose my access. Well, that's always the way, isn't it? Below is a portion of today's EIA Press Release:
You can follow the link to the Press Release. The bottom line is that the data is being cut off in the same manner that M3 is no longer reported. When you can't stand the heat, cut off the data.
I'm going to say this exactly one last time today, and I'm going to turn the tables on the mainstream – those who fail to acknowledge and act upon the facts are complicit in the breakdown of the rule of law. You cannot laugh this off or joke about the "nutjobs" any longer.
I think that anyone who participates in these manipulated markets is both a fool and is also complicit in feeding the blatant manipulation. The markets are not only not free, they are not even real – what they are is insider manipulated to the max – again complete corporate capture, no regulators.
I sadly note that today the media and a great percentage of our population is celebrating like we're the great slayer of evil – how removed from reality can we get? Body dumped in the ocean? Come on. The breakdown of the rule of law is so in your face that you simply cannot ignore it any longer – and if our collective conscious doesn't act to remove this Administration then I'm going write off my efforts to present reality and move on.
No music today – each individual needs to think hard about meaning and consequence. Process this information and then analyze your role in the collective consciousness. It's a matter of TRUST.

Strictly speaking, Cobalt does not use TFTP but NFS to boot. You need to
install an NFS server and put the installer files in
/nfsroot. When you boot your Cobalt, you have to
press the left and the right cursor buttons at the same time and the
machine will boot via the network from NFS. It will then display several
options on the display. There are the following two installation methods:
Via SSH (default): In this case, the installer will configure the network via DHCP and start an SSH server. It will then display a random password and other login information (such as the IP address) on the Cobalt LCD. When you connect to the machine with an SSH client you can start with the installation.
Via serial console: Using a null modem cable, you can connect to the serial port of your Cobalt machine (using 115200 bps) and perform the installation this way.

My name is Emily Glass and together with my co-supervisor at Bristol Dig Berkeley, Sian Thomas, we have been wading through piles of drawings, lists and context sheets that were created over four weeks of digging at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. This project has been an annual fixture of the University of Bristol's Archaeology and Anthropology department for ten years under the direction of Professor Mark Horton and Dr Stuart Prior. The excavation provides valuable practical experience for students during their three year degree and for any willing post-graduates! During the 2014 season the team worked in Nelme's Paddock (a field to the front of the Castle) on Trenches 8 and 14 – for which the paperwork now needs looking over for any glaring errors.
Often seen as the 'boring' side of archaeology – the less hands-on, indoor work of checking and cross-referencing any excavation archive is a crucial part of the process. Using the archaeological features and finds to phase the sequence of events is the basis for interpreting your site. The mantra that most archaeologists have been brought up on is that 'the archaeology does not lie' – so no matter how much you try to cram that theory of yours into what the evidence is telling you, if it won't fit then it's just plain wrong! All that needs doing next is to fit this into the wider scheme of what was going on at that particular time in that particular area and you have your story! Simple, right??
One thing about checking an archive is that no matter how long you THINK it's going to take – it will always take longer and often drive you mad in the process of going back and forward between lists, sheets, numbers, drawings, images and notebooks until you feel like you're drowning in paperwork! However, on occasion the Post-ex process can throw up something completely unexpected – such as our 2014 Finds Team discovering a box containing ceramic vessels from Ur! Then, when all calms down and you finally feel you're coming out of the tunnel – you realise that your final Harris Matrix doesn't work and the cycle of despair continues!
Trench 8 has been open now since 2009 so we have many, many drawings and records that Sian has kept on top of year on year. She even has an A1 sized trench matrix which looks amazing, but of course needs a bit of jiggling! On this Day of Archaeology we sorted out finished drawings to be scanned, filed sheets into folders and updated the context check-list. Some context sheets were checked off, whereas others are ongoing and will be completed at the Berkeley Summer School in August. So far we can track a broadly continuous sequence of use through buildings, roads, ditches and pits from the Roman period through to Saxon, then Norman, onto Medieval, Tudor and Elizabethan times. The latest phase represented is the Georgian use of the Paddock as a kitchen garden. So it's not surprising that the sequence keeps shifting!
General niggles in the records were of the usual variety: confusion about compass orientations, forgetting to transfer levels back onto paperwork (or even work them out!), back-to-front matrices and terrible handwriting! All joking aside, completing the record checking of an archaeological archive to a high standard is not only the right thing to do ethically and morally (all archaeology being destruction / to dismantle is to understand and all that), but it is also very satisfying, especially when the job is ticked off as DONE!
Happy Day of Archaeology 2014!

Hassan visits National Guard members
New governor says she appreciates job troops do
On her first full day in office, Gov. Maggie Hassan spent the morning Friday meeting with members of the New Hampshire National Guard.
Hassan said she is so appreciative of the job Guard members do keeping Granite Staters safe that she wanted to visit them on her first day.
Accompanied by Maj. Gen. William Reddel, Hassan was briefed on some of the Guard's capabilities in her new role as commander-in-chief. The first stop was a Black Hawk helicopter.
"We're standing in front of a helicopter that was used in a search-and-rescue mission just on Monday to rescue two hikers and to partner with our Fish and Game personnel," Hassan said.
The governor also had the chance to see what it's like to be at the controls, trying her hand in a helicopter simulator. During her time in the state Senate, Hassan had the chance to see Guard members in action firing a mobile missile system, a system Hassan called important and impressive.
"Because it's an increasingly active mobile missile device that's helping our troops in Afghanistan in particular right now," she said.
Hassan was shown equipment that allows personnel to monitor for radiation, chemicals and biological agents. The Guard also has equipment that can assist in staying in touch in case of a disaster.
"If, for some reason, communications went down in the state, we could actually talk to the world through the satellite system," Reddel said.
Reddel said the National Guard enjoyed a lot of support from former Gov. John Lynch, and he believes that Hassan's visit is indicative that the new governor will follow a similar path.
