Tenga Flip Hole and 3-D Sculpted Ecstasy: Sex Toys for Men
Guest blog by David Pittle, Ph.D.
While most of the male masturbation market has churned out artificial vaginas, Tenga's Flip Hole is a real improvement.
The Flip Hole is designed to open up completely. This allows you to lay your penis down on one side, then close it up for use. Or you can close it with the clip and enter the hole.
The vacuum pump formed by the material is controlled by the buttons to create a squeezing pleasure. The wing gate has big ribs midway in to grip and hold you. The side ribs add side stimulation for maximum feel. The lip flat provides a good grip upon insertion, while the shield flap helps to keep lubricants inside.
I received two of the four versions of the Flip Hole. Aside from the coloring of the case -- Black, White, Silver and Red -- the pattern of the soft elastomer material inside varies, giving each version a significantly different feeling. The two I tried both felt great. I understand that the Black Flip Hole has a firmer inner material for a more intense experience, but I didn't have that one to test.
With the exception of the Zen, I found all the textures pleasant and virtually indistinguishable. The Zen had a softer and gentler effect—but the difference was not extreme. Of course, you might have a different preference.

The NRW Forum in Düsseldorf presents regularly changing exhibitions that challenge each subject within its cultural context.
Its aim is to highlight the interrelation between aesthetic, social and economic phenomena of the time. The exhibition concepts do not separate 'highbrow' and 'popular' art. Instead, the museum takes a refreshing and progressive approach of merging the most diverse fields of (pop) culture, such as applied arts, design, advertising, architecture, photography, film and fashion.
Opening times:
Tuesday-Sunday 11am-8pm, Friday 11am-midnight

Alert 2014-14
Subject: Counterfeit Cashier's Checks
Date: February 25, 2014
Description: First National Bank
Counterfeit Cashier's Checks of First National Bank, Lenoir City, Tenn.
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations; All State Banking Authorities; Chair, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Conference of State Bank Supervisors; Deputy Comptrollers (Districts); Assistant Deputy Comptrollers; District Counsels; and All Examining Personnel
The above-named bank has reported that counterfeit cashier's checks using a correct routing number of 064201243 are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with a secret-shopper scam.
While the counterfeit checks resemble the bank's authentic checks, counterfeit items may be identified by several traits:
Counterfeit checks presented to date have been made payable in the amount of $2,250 and contain a remitter name of Jinni B. Redmond.
The bank has reported that the secret-shopper scam works as follows. Potential victims are initially contacted through e-mails from Karen Scott [email@example.com]. The e-mails inform the potential victims that their secret shopper applications were reviewed and that they were selected for assignments. The e-mails explain that they will receive checks in the mail for deposit into their bank accounts. Within 24 hours of the deposits, the potential victims are to use small amounts of the money to shop at a well-known retail store and to use the majority of the money to wire transfer funds to a third party, who is supposedly another secret shopper. Correspondence accompanying the counterfeit checks contains the letterhead of "PineCone Research, 250 East 5th Street, 9th Floor, Cincinnati, OH 45202." Once their assignments are completed, the potential victims are to send text messages with 10-digit money-transfer control numbers to (202) 688-8936.
For additional information and to verify the authenticity of First National Bank's cashier's checks, please contact Vice President of Operations Connie Smith by mail at 200 East Broadway, Lenoir City, TN, 37771, by telephone at (865) 988-2114, by fax at (865) 988-2118, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Consumers who receive counterfeit or fictitious items and associated material should file complaints with the following agencies, as appropriate:
Additional information concerning this matter that should be brought to the attention of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) may be forwarded to
For additional information regarding other types of financial fraud, please visit the OCC's anti-fraud resource page at www.occ.gov/fraudresources.htm.

Repacking the Snowtrooper? Fabulous idea Hasbro... not enough of those around and wow what a quality figure too.
That snowtrooper isn't a straight up repack - they put more normally posed legs on him - so he's not in that crappy half-running position that the Saga one was in.It's a significant improvement IMO.
That's true. Hopefully the rumors about the VTSC one will be true.
For the life of me, it makes no ******* sense to give a figure like Garindan 12 points of articulation with ball jointed shoulders, but in the same year reissue a figure like the Snowtrooper, kit bash it with a previous snowtrooper, and still give this trooper who was involved in perhaps the biggest ground battle of the original trilogy just 6 points of articulation, and still totally unable to hold his weapon in a firing pose. And that was Hasbro's 4th attempt at this figure!I don't get it.

Give us your feedback on the Vibram 5!
Interesting method to determine when glycogen stores might die and when...
Nice Andrew Charniga Jr translation of a study on tempo for beginner lifters (0-2 years trained weightlifters) - 2.5 sec tempo I believe referred to the total time it took to do 1 rep; something like 2 sec down, 0.5 sec up is what I'd guess - interesting to note there were differences seen even from 2 sec to 2.5 sec to 3 sec in tempo. As with tempo, there are many reasons to have speed associated with lifts - for 1. control, 2. test/re-test, 3. pick on weaknesses in movement, 4. establish a hormonal response based on the tempo given, 5. elicit more or less potential of muscle fibre activation based on concentric prescription....and more (which are covered completely in OPT CCP Assessment)...as well as sometimes when speed should NOT be associated with lifts.

This short course is being offered on February 7, 2014. For more information please go to the current page for Biostatistics in Practice.
Registration is open for the one-day, short course, "Data Sciences for the Life Sciences in a High-Performance Computing Environment," sponsored by the Institute for Computational Biology, Biostatistics, and Bioinformatics (ICB3) to be held Aug. 27 at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke.
The course at the new state-of-the-art facility dedicated to research-oriented computing will offer a foundational curriculum in life sciences research using R, an increasingly important open source statistical programming language. Content will emphasize the use of literate programming technologies and sound analytical principles to facilitate high-performance computing for "big data" applications. The program is intended for New England-based industry and academic researchers in the life sciences.
Participants will learn how to use powerful tools for high-performance computational research using R, such as ggplot2, GitHub, knitr, R Markdown, multicore, RStudio, and Shiny. In addition, the program will offer life science researchers from the center's partner universities an opportunity to learn how to effectively use the MGHPCC for their own research and to connect with participants from diverse academic disciplines and industry settings.
The program is the first offering of the ICB3's Summer Training Institute in Reproducible Research with R (STIRRR) initiative. Nicholas Reich, assistant professor of Biostatistics, and Andrea Foulkes, ICB3 director and associate professor of Biostatistics, are co-directors of STIRRR and will present the program. They plan to cover "Principles of Reproducible Research," "Introduction to Cluster Computing and Applications," "Simulation and Parallel Computing with R" and other "Topics in Big Data Sciences for the Life Sciences."
Foulkes says, "The availability of "big data" is transforming life sciences research and increasingly informing the development of tools and methods in biostatistics and bioinformatics. We are excited to present a program that supports researchers' efforts to expand their capabilities in this realm."

"A theorist about language may approach his native tongue, as it were from outside, regarding its genius as a thing that has no claim on him and advocating wholesale alterations of its idiom and spelling in the interests of commercial convenience or scientific accuracy. That is one thing. A great poet, who has 'loved, and been well nurtured in, his mother tongue', may also make great alterations in it, but his changes of the language are made in the spirit of the language itself: he works from within. The language which suffers, has also inspired the changes. That is a different thing - as different as the works of Shakespeare are from Basic English. It is the difference between alteration from within and alteration from without: between organic and the surgical."
- C.S. Lewis
"It has been always with me: the sensibility to linguistic pattern which affects me emotionally like colour or music; and the passionate love of growing things; and the deep response to legends (...) that have what I would call the North-western temper and temperature."

"In this respect our human consciousness is something like a man who should try, by turning round, to see the back of his head in a mirror. For the impulses to record and to remember can only come into it along with the very change that begins to obscure perception of what is most worth remembering."
- Owen Barfield
"De magie van het woord en de kracht van het beeld zijn samen met de emoties van klanken de oudste vormen van magie. De kleur van woorden, het gevoel dat daarachter zit, dat vind ik mooi. De zeggingskracht van beelden vind je terug in de oeroude symbolen. Woorden en beelden roepen gevoelens op en kunnen drijfveren worden."

On Friday at noon, The Heritage Foundation will hold its second event in the Preserve the Constitution series when it hosts John Fund and me talking about our new book Who's Counting? How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk.
With the pundits and pollsters predicting that the upcoming presidential election may be one of the closest in history, everyone should be concerned about potential fraud or bureaucratic mistakes affecting the outcome of the election. As the Supreme Court said when it upheld Indiana's voter ID law in 2008, fraud can make the difference in a close election.
Who's Counting shines a light on the many problems that exist in our very decentralized election system. For those who claim that voter fraud does not exist, the book provides many examples of actual fraud that have occurred in elections, including:
- A 1982 gubernatorial election in Illinois in which it is estimated that 100,000 fraudulent votes were cast in Chicago;
- A 2005 Tennessee state senate race that was overturned because of fraud where the winning margin was only 13 votes; and
- A successful 14-year vote fraud conspiracy in Brooklyn, New York, that resulted in thousands of fraudulent ballots being cast in state and federal legislative races through impersonation fraud at the polls.
We know that fraud is a continuing problem. Last week, a congressional candidate in Maryland was forced to withdraw after it was discovered that she had illegally registered and voted in both Maryland and Florida in the 2006 and 2008 elections. And an Arkansas state legislator just resigned from office after he and three others pleaded guilty to committing voter fraud in a 2011 election that the legislator won by only eight votes.
Who's Counting exposes the inner workings of a biased, ideologically driven Justice Department that is doing everything it can to prevent improvements in the integrity of the election process. But the book doesn't just talk about the problems; it also makes recommendations for reforms that can improve the integrity of the election process. And it demolishes the false narratives used by opponents of common-sense reforms such as voter ID requirements.
Joining me at the Friday event will be John Fund, formerly of The Wall Street Journal and now the national affairs columnist for National Review Online. It will be hosted by Edwin Meese III, chairman of the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation and former Attorney General of the United States under President Ronald Reagan. You can RSVP here or view the program online.

Legislators fail to authorize program that could help bring jobs to Lake Worth
Florida legislators failed to pass bills that would have authorized Lake Worth to apply for an enterprise zone — a designation the city is seeking to lure businesses and bring jobs into the city.
Bills sponsored by state Sen. Jeff Clemens and Rep. Dave Kerner would have authorized the city to apply to the state's Department of Economic Opportunity for an enterprise zone.
Enterprise zones offer tax credits, sales-tax refunds and income tax breaks to companies that move into depressed parts of cities and create jobs.
Dolores Key, Lake Worth's economic development manager, said the city will seek enterprise zone legislation again during the 2014 session.

I spend more time in the outdoors than I do in(or at least I make my best attempt to do so.) I have been playing around in backcountry settings all of my life in all seasons and have made mistakes over the years as to what works and what doesn't...
My shoulders/back hurt because I didn't distribute the load in my pack right, I froze my tail off because I was sweating in sub zero temps, I've had ground beef for feet because I thought I knew how to fit boots, and a whole slew of other things that I don't wish on anyone. I have learned alot over the many years that I have been meandering around in the backcountry; at the same time I don't know everything(I become ever so increasingly aware of this as time goes on... Thanks to my loving wife. :)
I am sure I can learn quite a bit here and at the same time I hope to give some useful info back. If I can offer any type of insight pertaining to a subject I will, if the subject of discussion is something I have little or no experience with I will just sit back and watch the replies from other Trailspace members. The info could quite possibly be beneficial to me as well.
One can never have "too much" knowledge.
A few favorite quotes:
- "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn."

- "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
- "The worst form of failure is the failure to try."

The Auburn women's basketball team utilized a 17-0 run early in the game en route to a 53-40 win over UT-Chattanooga.
AUBURN �— The Auburn women's basketball team utilized a 17-0 run early in the game en route to a 53-40 win over the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on Wednesday at Auburn Arena.
The Tigers improved to 9-2 on the season, while the Mocs fell to 8-2. UT-Chattanooga entered the game with a pair of wins this season over Southeastern Conference teams, downing Tennessee in the season opener and winning at Alabama.
"It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but we'll take it," Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said.
The Mocs' 40 points were the fewest allowed by Auburn this season. Hasina Muhammad led the Tigers with 19 points, followed by Blanche Alverson with 11. Alverson tallied her first double-double on the season, adding 10 rebounds in the effort.
Muhammad is the only player in the SEC who has scored in double figures in each game this season.
Auburn went on its big run in the first half, holding the visitors scoreless for more than seven minutes. The Tigers took a 19-4 lead before Kayla Christopher hit a 3-pointer to end the run with 10:58 remaining in the half.
Both teams scored 25 points in the second half, but UT-Chattanooga couldn't come within seven points the rest of the way.

It's Justin Bieber, on tour in Sweden the other day, grooving onto his bus with a member of his entourage like he's some kind of badass. In his mind, this was a cool move in the moment. And, I guess, his fans thought so too?
Interesting the difference in perspective of what's "cool". For Beliebers, Bieber doing whatever it is he's doing, whatever the new Dougie is called, as he makes his way onto his ride in jammies, is pure sex fever. For me, Robert Downey Jr dressed in lederhosen promoting Iron Man 3 is pure sex fever...and the youth probably think that's lame

Intel's Barrett Sees No Slowdown in World PC MarketBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-07-31 Print
Barrett said a range of economies have not been seriously affected by the U.S. slowdown, providing hope that the crisis will have limited implications.
LISBON (Reuters) - Intel Corp (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the world's biggest microchip producer, expects no slowdown in global demand for personal computers despite economic problems in the United States and in other countries, Intel Chairman Craig Barrett said on Wednesday.
He also told reporters in Lisbon, where he was to sign a draft deal with the Portuguese government to make 500,000 cheap portable computers for schools, that the company was upbeat on demand prospects for low-cost computers and broadband wireless systems.
"We gave a relatively upbeat business forecast, saying that despite the economic problems in the United States our business is so international that we didn't see any slowdown in the PC market," he said.
Barrett said a range of economies have not been seriously affected by the U.S. slowdown, providing hope that the crisis will have limited implications.
"We are seeing ... that the slowdown in the U.S. hasn't spilled everywhere else. The world's economy is not as robust as it could be, but it's not a disaster."
Apart from broadband wireless, and the next generation of low-cost computers, Intel also remains bullish about the introduction of more digital capability in health care.
"There's a huge opportunity to use it not just in the back-office but in remote diagnostics," he added.
Referring to the European Union's recent antitrust charges against Intel, Barrett said price reductions for microprocessors and computers have an "anti-inflationary nature" while prices are rising globally and also said that was a testimony to high competition in the sector.
"It looks as the market is functioning as it should, because every year consumers are getting more for less. We continue to say that, please just look at the facts, don't just listen to a competitor complaint," he said.
Intel lawyers have previously said that that new charges filed against the company by the European Commission could lead to higher prices for consumers.
The Commission issued additional charges against Intel earlier this month, saying the U.S. company had paid a retailer to refrain from selling computers with chips made by competitor Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
Last year, the Commission accused Intel of giving computer makers rebates to limit their use of rival AMD's chips or avoid them altogether.

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)
All research groups | Research subject areas
A new study involving LSE research reveals the level that 'sexting' has reached among teenagers with schoolgirls facing increasing pressure to provide sexually explicit pictures of themselves.
The qualitative study based on a focus group and in-depth interviews with 35 young people shows that while they are increasingly savvy at protecting themselves from so called 'stranger danger' they are having to face a new problem of 'peer to peer' approaches with boys constantly demanding sexual images.
While some girls are developing sophisticated techniques to deal with this pressure, others are left struggling to cope and feeling unsure of what to do.
The research, undertaken by the Institute of Education, King's College and the London School of Economics and Political Science and published by the NSPCC, sought the views of 13-15-year-olds at two London schools. Previous research has shown that more than a third of under-18s have received an offensive or distressing sexual image by text or e-mail.
Jon Brown, Head of the Sexual Abuse Programme at the NSPCC, said: "What's most striking about this research is that many young people seem to accept all this as just part of life. But it can be another layer of sexual abuse and, although most children will not be aware, it is illegal.
"Girls should never be forced to carry out sex acts and boys must understand it's not acceptable to put them under such duress that they have little choice but to agree. It's very concerning that whilst young people seem to have a solid grasp of 'stranger danger' they are often struggling to cope with problems from their own peer group.
"This can't be treated as just one of those phases children go through. And although some of it may sound familiar from previous generations, the difference is that the consequences are now far wider with images remaining forever and potentially being viewed by mass audiences. They can also fall into the hands of adult abusers.
"It must be dealt with properly with parents, teachers, industry and other professionals working together to give victims the protection they need."
The study reveals girls can be pestered relentlessly until they finally agree to perform sexual acts which can be recorded on mobile phones. These can then be broadcast to groups of young people leaving the devastated victim to face ridicule and abuse. Researchers found there were 'significant numbers' in circulation with one boy alone claiming to have 30.
In some cases the girls even write a name in black marker pen on a part of their body to show it's the 'property' of a certain boy.
In a bid to start tackling the problems raised by this work the NSPCC is calling for all professionals to receive training in the latest technology so they are better equipped to deal with sexting. It also wants secondary schools and the communications industry to give young people better protection through education which promotes considerate, respectful relationships. And parents must talk to their children about this issue and the potentially serious ramifications of their actions.
One girl who was interviewed for the NSPCC said she had agreed to perform a sex act and was reduced to tears when she discovered it was on a video being passed around. Another told how she feared suffering the same experience would lead to mental problems: "I could go into depression because you are going to be known, you are going to be talked about – seen in a different way."
Researchers found the young victims are often left to suffer alone in a culture of silence for fear of being labelled 'snitches' or 'snakes' if they tell anyone. But despite the constant barrage of messages from boys asking for 'beats' – intercourse- or 'heads'- oral sex- the teenagers say they cannot live without their mobile phones, using them from the moment they wake until they go to sleep.
LSE's Professor Sonia Livingstone, one of the report authors, said: "Our study shows that some far-from-new practices of sexual harassment at school are now being amplified by the widespread availability of mobile phones, since these permit such rapid sharing, storing and manipulation of images. To address this problem, we need teachers and parents who both understand the technology but who can also understand how flirtatious or playful sexual banter among teens can so easily become coercive, especially for girls."
Lead researcher Jessica Ringrose from the Institute of Education, said: "Girls are being pressured by text and on Blackberry messenger to send 'special photos' and perform sexual services for boys from an early age. In some cases they are as young as eleven. Even while we were interviewing them they were being bombarded with these messages.
"Some of them found ingenious ways to fend off the demands but still the pressures are immense and the younger girls in particular wanted help.
"Although this is happening through new mobile-internet technologies teens still face the same old situation that boys who have sex are seen as 'players' and earn the respect of their peers while girls who do the same are labelled "skets" or" sluts".
"Some of the boys have a disturbing approach to this. They have been encouraged by a wider culture to see girls' bodies as property which they can own. But even if boys don't have this view it's difficult for them to directly challenge this for fear of being called 'gay.'
"At its worst sexting can be an extreme form of cyber-bullying which has to be tackled."
Rosalind Gill, from King's College London, said: "We were deeply upset by the levels of sexual abuse, physical harassment and even violence some of the girls experienced on a regular basis.
"Apart from the immediate acute distress this kind of behaviour can cause we also have to consider the affect it might have in later life. The girls are in an environment dominated by sexual double standards with little opportunity to explore their own sexual desires and this could have serious implications for their self - esteem as young women.

A whole batch of awesome videos from LA-based artists were released this week. Check 'em all out like it's 1994 and you're home watching MTV.
Crown Plaza – "Reactor" video; So Many Wizards' "Lose Your Mind" video
The solo project of So Many Wizards' Nima Kazerouni, Crown Plaza, is dreamier and lo-fier than his band's indie power-pop. "Reactor" is lonely and lightly melancholic bedroom pop of the finest order, while the video calls to mind visiting your hometown and feeling like a stranger. Chem Waves Volume 1 is out now on tape on LA's Vanity Projects, while So Many Wizards' fine Warm Nothing was released earlier this year. That album's "Lose Your Mind" video was also released this week. Crown Plaza play a free show at the Bootleg Theater Nov. 12. So Many Wizards will be all over LA this month and next, starting with a show at USC with the Allah-Las tonight; see all their dates here.

Ralph LEY (my 5th great-grandfather) was born in Mevagissey, Cornwall, UK in about 1761. He married Martha MILLS on 16 February 1786 – again, in Mevagissey. Ralph and Martha had six children: Nicholas, another Ralph (my 4th great-grandfather), William, another William, Mary, and An.
Since son Ralph, grandson Nicholas, and great-grandson Ralph grew up to become coastguards – and Mevagissey is a coastal town - it is likely that Ralph senior was a coastguard, too. The family also included mariners, fishermen, and naval pensioners.

Buffett is already defending Moody's with statements that appear to be reasonable, but are in fact completely incoherent. Here's what he says about the top brass at bailed out banks:
"When society has to step in to save institutions . . . the CEO should go away broke."
So far, so good. But what about the CEO of Moody's and other rating agencies who fueled the bubble, sabotaged investors, but were clever enough to design a business model that was insulated from the housing fallout? For the CEOs of rating agencies, Buffett suddenly has sympathy:
"The entire American public eventually was caught up in a belief that housing prices could not fall dramatically . . . I believed it . . . that's the nature of bubbles, they become mass delusions . . . . They made a mistake that virtually everybody in the country made."
In short, Buffett wants us to come down on the top bankers, but not the CEOs of a rating agencies. And it just so happens that Buffett is the largest shareholder in Moody's, one of the top rating agencies.
This is a total contradiction. Why have sympathy for the poor rating agency execs but not the bank execs, if everybody is operating under the same delusion? Sure, the government didn't bailout rating agencies, but the bank bailouts were fueled in part by actions committed by rating agencies, who slapped top ratings on garbage subprime mortgage securities that banks bought. If rating agencies contributed significantly to the need for vast, socially destructive bailouts– and there is no question that they did– their executives should be held accountable for that social fallout.
Buffett's argument seems to be that, since Moody's managed to profit from its own social sabotage, it should be immune from public or regulatory scrutiny. If anything, the fact that Moody's can profit from socially destructive activity should be an irrefutable argument in favor of discharging its management team and regulating the business. In other lines of business, people who profit from socially destructive activity are called criminals (think: stealing an old lady's purse).
One rather amazing aspect of Moody's business is their economic research wing. They bought a company run by economist Mark Zandi, who is a very credible economist who, although usually an adviser to Republicans, does serious and respectable research. Like most economists, Zandi is frequently wrong, but he doesn't do nonsense corporate talking points or nonsense fake-research to bolster particular corporations or sectors. But while Zandi was making a very credible case that the U.S. housing market was in trouble, another wing of Moody's business was slapping top ratings on housing securities. Either they didn't believe their own economic research– in which case, they shouldn't have been putting it out– or they didn't believe in their ratings. Whichever way Moody's screwed up, their management cannot be seen as anything but corrupt predators.
In other words, management ignored the advice of their own economic research, and ignored it for several years, and made a killing on it. Rating agency profits are not tied to the performance of their ratings– they're tied to up-front fees they get for making the rating. Those fees are paid not by investors who use the ratings, but by the banks who issue the securities.
That ability to score huge profits regardless of the performance of their own ratings is exactly why Buffett wants to protect the current Moody's management and the current regulatory structure. Moody's team has been very good at securing big profits for the company's shareholders, while sending society off a cliff. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., has introduced a bill that would end the conflict of interest between bankers and rating agencies. If that conflict of interest is ended, Buffett's profit machine would be severely impacted. Moody's would have to actually be good at what it does in order to make big bucks.

I was in the process of closing out my mother's house in 2004 when I made a surprising discovery. I found a box of things from my Aunt Helen's trip to Poland in 1937. My Aunt Helen Bulak (1894-1985), or just plain "Auntie" as everyone always called her, was my grandmother's sister and only sibling. Auntie Helen was a fairly well-to-do business woman with a clothing shop--or as it started out in 1919, a "millinery and dry-goods" business--on Millbury St. in Worcester, MA. Auntie was by no means rich, but definitely well-to do. In the 1930s when most people were struggling to make ends meet, my aunt was off on a two month trip to Poland. I never knew much about her trip other than she went there and brought back some souvenirs of her trip--a Polish doll, a carved wooden deer, and the like. To my surprise, in the box, I found my aunt's passport, photos, multiple menus from the dining room aboard her ship, postcards, a sailing program with information about the ship and it's passengers, a program from a play she saw in Warsaw, and most importantly her travel diary.
The travel diary doesn't look like much. It's black leather with faded gold lettering. There's a red ribbon book mark and a little gold pencil for writing notes. The writing in the diary varies from English, to Polish depending on the entry and the day, and probably Aunt Helen's mood. The entries at the beginning of the diary are pretty ordinary, kind of what you'd expect from a travel diary. They list dates, hotels, and sights visited. All pretty routine. Later in the diary though, when she visits my grandfather Adolf Szerejko's family in Warsaw, the entries change. They become more personal and offer details about the sights seen, and more importantly, about my grandfather's family in Warsaw. Aunt Helen stayed with my grandfather's brother, Feliks Szerejko, and his family for several weeks while she was in Warsaw. She also visited other members of the family while she was there.
Before I read my aunt's travel diary I knew nothing about our family in Poland, other than some of the family still lived there. I didn't know who, and I didn't know where. When I was a kid I remember my grandmother would periodically send letters, money, and packages to Poland. In return she would get a letter or an Easter card or Christmas card with oplatki, the thin unconsecrated wafers similar to communion wafers, to be shared during a holiday meal. Someone sent my grandmother a beautiful doll, dressed in Polish costume, to give to me. Who were these people? When my grandmother died all knowledge of the family back in Poland died with her. The information contained in the diary opened up a whole new world to me. My aunt's travel diary provides a glimpse of our family's life in Poland and in Warsaw in 1937. From it, I've been able to put together large pieces of the family puzzle.
My aunt visited Poland in June, July, and August of 1937. Little more than two years later Poland and Warsaw would be bombed, World War II would begin, and life would never be the same for our family in Poland. I've decided to write a series of articles over the next few weeks using Aunt Helen's travel diary as the focus of the articles. I plan to offer excepts from her diary and chronicle her trip, using what I know about the family and her trip on the eve of World War II. I hope you'll "pack your bags" and follow along with me. I've found the journey to 1937 Poland fascinating. I want to share what I know. I hope you find my story, a travelogue of sorts, and Aunt Helen's diary interesting. The ship is about to set sail. Bon Voyage...

Urgent action needed for our drinking water
Our aging and corroded water infrastructure throughout the country is failing at an alarming rate. And the stakes couldn't be higher: the very water we drink. Thankfully, a bill was just introduced that would go a long way toward fixing this problem.
Take action now, and let's convince our senators to support much-needed upgrades for America's drinking water.

Classic Car Corner - The Cars of Cuba
- Written by Tom Berg, Windermere Woodinville
In consideration of my many faithful readers I recently ventured forth to Cuba to check out their cars for this, my 12th column of the year. On my way through Miami, I had a free afternoon and went to Ted Vernon Specialty Autos Inc. which is featured on the Discovery channel show "South Beach Classics."
I met Ted who is a wild and crazy wheeler-dealer who likes cars but could probably sell anything. He has about 300 old cars crammed into dark buildings or sitting out in the sun. Apparently you don't wash cars on a car lot in Florida? His operation looks a lot better on TV. His prices were quite high and the condition of the cars not so much and he's not actually in South Beach which is a very trendy, hip, cool part of Miami Beach but in an industrial area quite a ways away from it.
Cuba is famous for their mid-century American cars. They had a little revolution and after 1960 imported nothing from the U.S. (our decision, not necessarily theirs). They were apparently very fond of our cars up to that point and still are. It looks as though every car imported from America before 1960 is still there and running. I saw no hulks sitting around and no junk yards. Almost all of the cars are 4-doors, are not excessively dented or rusted and many have newer paint jobs. There was very little customizing but many had chrome or mag-type wheels. Since there is a real scarcity of parts for these cars you almost have to be a mechanic to own one. It wasn't uncommon to see one pulled over and someone working on it. I saw no tow trucks; I assume they either fixed their cars on site or towed them away with a horse. All the roads outside of Havana (including the one freeway) were full of hitchhikers and carts being pulled by horses. In the smaller towns there were very few cars, mostly horses, trucks and pedestrians.
The cars of Cuba are mostly 1946-1959 of all makes (I even saw some Studebakers, an Edsel and some Willys Wagons but alas, no Corvettes or sports cars of any kind with very few pre-war cars.) There weren't many pickups, but I saw some American 1- or 2-ton type trucks hauling produce or even people much like a bus. They stand 'em up, pack 'em in like sardines and haul 'em around. I did see several model As that looked real good. Most of the vintage cars in Havana were being used as taxis and were either government owned or independent. This is how the enterprising (capitalistic) Cubans earn real income. Some of the really sharp convertibles were just parked in tourist areas and people were charged to have their pictures taken in them. A doctor earns about $40 per month and a cabbie with his own car could earn that in a day.
It's not uncommon for a professional such as a doctor to drive a cab whenever he could. The government of Cuba provides housing, medical care, some basic food by rationing and as much education as one wants. Many of their graduate professionals have never worked in their field of training and Cuba even exports doctors to Venezuela in return for oil.
One day we caught an independent cab from our hotel to old Havana. It was a 1957 English Ford (we called them Anglias). It was small and rattled a lot but made the trip OK. The driver had a computer degree but had never worked a day in that field since there were no jobs.
The car had belonged to his grandfather then his father and now him. It has a gas engine and transmission from a Lada which is a Russian car that was often imported when the Russians were helping out the Cubans from 1960 to 1991 when they pulled out of Cuba.
Our return trip was in a 53 Chevy that looked A LOT better than it ran. The best American cars have been converted to diesel engines and can sell for the equivalent of $15,000 which is a lot in a country where the annual income might be $500. It's only been in the last year that Cubans could even legally sell a car (or a home).
In Old Havana I happened upon a car museum so I just had to go in and check it out for my esteemed readers. It was the equivalent of $1.50 to get in or $5 if I wanted to use my camera, so of course I paid the $5. It was dark and dusty inside, and had about 20 very mediocre cars in un-repaired condition. I quickly realized why I was the only one in there — took two bad pictures and was out in about three minutes. My best picture turned out to be the one I took from outside looking in for free! Perhaps not my worst expenditure but close to it.
In conclusion, I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes to travel, even if cars are not your thing. The history of our neighbor 90 miles to the south, the beauty of the country and the friendliness of its people were all unforgettable.
If you would like to chat about Cuba, cars or even real estate, please call me or just stop by my office at Windermere Real Estate. Buenos dias.

Making New Friends
Making new friends can be easy for some; for others it can be an intimidating concept. Here are some tips to help your student make connections at Binghamton:
Attend orientation. Orientation can be a great time to meet new people – you are with a relatively small group of people and have the shared experiences of having just graduated and are now preparing to attend Binghamton. Students will find that everyone is looking to meet new friends – the perfect place to start conversations!
Get involved. In order to meet new people, it is imperative that you get involved on campus. Binghamton has over 200 student groups. Join a student group such as the debate club or student government. Try out for a sports team. Consider joining a sorority or fraternity. Whatever your interest, we probably have a club for you. If we don't – consider chartering a new one!
Stay on campus. Your student may want to come home the 1st few weekends to visit high school friends. This is the time when new students are trying to get to know one another. Encourage your student to stay on campus so they won't miss out on the weekend activities that bond college students together.
Utilize classes. Encourage your student to get to classes a few minutes before they start so they have time to talk with their peers. Sitting in the middle of the classroom can make it easier to strike up conversations with other students about homework assignments, upcoming tests, campus activities, etc.
Open door policy. Encourage your student to leave their door open when they are hanging out in their room. Other students are looking to make new friends as well, so many will drop by just to say "hey" if their door is open. Likewise, they should do a drop-by to introduce themselves if they see an open door. Please note: Your student should always lock their door when they are not in their room.
Study in public. Instead of studying in their room, encourage your student to go to the student lounge or the library. They'll get in plenty of study time and have the opportunity to meet new people during study breaks.

Trace Window Showing
I am running a JAL script job in version 5.1.395 that I recently converted from version 3.4.33. The job uses the RunAndWait command as follows:
RunAndWait( "essmsh e:\\transfer\\balsheet\\scripts\\balsheet.mxl", "", 0 , processid )
In version 3.4, while this step was running, a window would show on the server showing the details of the underlying essmsh process running just like if I issued the same command at a DOS command prompt. In the new version of 24x7, when the RunAndWait command is issued I get an empty window that pops up with the title "24x7 Trace". I see no details of what is happening with the underlying script. I don't have trace enabled in 24x7 so not sure why this is happening. I prefer the way it was handled before, just wandering if there is a way to show the details of the underlying script while it is running in new version.

Each job has its own console if trace is enabled. So, in order to see the trace, please enable the global trace option in Tools/Options menu, Log tab. You presently have it in a mixed state. All traces are now explicitly recorded and saved in log files if you don't disable capturing of job output option. That option is independent from the global trace option.

I enabled trace at the global options level and it behaved exactly the same, I am still only seeing a blank console window titled 24x7 Trace while the job runs.

What do you have in the registry for value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SoftTree Technologies, Inc.\24x7 Scheduler\5.0\TraceEnabled?
Do you see the trace in job capture in the Output? (see links and content on the Output tab when job is selected in the GUI window)

The registry has a value of "Y" in the TraceEnabled key.
The detailed output from the MAXL script is not captured in the job capture output accessed on the Output tab of the GUI. It contains only 24x7 log output. However, the debug.log file in the 24x7 directory does contain the detailed MAXL script output I am looking for. I was just hoping I could get that to display in the console window while the job is running like it does in the old version, to allow me to monitor the job progress.

I've done some experimenting using latest version 5.1.399 and I'm unable to reproduce your results. I don't get trace in separate qwindows for each jobs, but I do get job output from JAL jobs always captured, unless I specifically disable it, and it is available on the Output tab. I suggest that you try upgrading your instance to the latest version. The download link for your platform is available here

I installed version 5.1.399 and still experience the same thing. Below are screenshots showing what I see on version 3.4.33 versus 5.1.399, hopefully this helps clarify the issue:
I am hoping there is a way to "see" what is happening on the console while the script is calling the external application as it behaved in the older version.

I continued to test different jobs and one that normally runs 5 minutes would just hang during the RunAndWait step and not complete for over an hour, I finally had to kill it. In troubleshooting this issue, I decided to turn off the option to "capture and archive job output". That instantly fixed my problem and the job ran in the normal 5 minutes. In addition it solved my other problem as the 24x7 Trace window went away and behavior reverted back to the way it did in the old version. I can now see the details of the "RunAndWait" process running in the console.
This resolves my issue as I am happy to disable the capture and archive job output to get things to work correctly, however it appears there is a problem with enabling that option on some types of jobs.

Do the processes that you run from the jobs read or write from the console. The "capture output" feature does redirect process stdout and stderr so that it can be consumed by the scheduler/job process and then saved to a cataloged output file. I wander if there is something special these jobs do that causes some sort of a abnormal behavior.

I am not aware of it, but possibly that is the problem. There is a command within these processes to "spool" stdout and stderr to a log file, so I am capturing the output successfully without the 24x7 "capture output" feature. I think the current solution is adequate for me and allows me to monitor the progress of the jobs as they run on the console.

Well... there could be a conflict if 2 processes attempt to redirect the same stdout and sterr. That likely explain the root cause of the issue.

We Need Even More ESL Tutors
Ten weeks ago we wrote that our English as a Second Language programs were burgeoning and that we needed tutors. A number of people signed up and we're so grateful. And now we need even more tutors because even more people are asking to learn English.
In case you're not aware of our programs, every week at the library we hold discussion groups that provide forums for practicing speaking English, and we also offer individual tutoring sessions--also at the library--at times convenient to the tutor and the student. We're looking for more volunteers to tutor people who want to learn to speak, read, and write English. We provide training and support and no, you do not need to know a second language to teach people English. Are you interested? If you'd like to volunteer, please give Charity Martin a call at 832-559-4200.

Florida gave up a first period lead within a couple minutes of earning it but eventually took advantage of a late even-strength tally to down divisional rival South Carolina. The win put Florida into a first-place tie with Gwinnett for the South Division lead. The Everblades, who ratcheted up the offense a notch in hitting 40 shots on goal against the Stingrays, also hold a game in hand on the Gladiators. Danick Gauthier notched his third assist, a primary dish on the power play approaching the midpoint of the first, of the season. It was Gauthier's third-straight game with a point and the fourth time in five games he registered at least a goal or an assist. Though he wasn't credited as being one of the stars of the game, Pat Nagle, back in net for Florida after being assigned from AHL Syracuse following the return of Cedrick Desjardins to the Crunch, turned in a stellar performance with 29 stops on 30 shots against. Alex Hutchings also was back in the lineup for the Everblades after being returned by AHL Syracuse. Florida (33-20-11, 77 PTS) continues its five-game home stand Friday night when it squares of against South Carolina(34-25-7, 75 PTS) in the second of three consecutive matches the two teams will play against each other.
