Write a ReviewVanguard bathroom light
By John R. from Albuquerque, NM on Oct 31, 2012
Very pleased with the selection...had seen in in a local lighting store but less expensive to buy online. Halogen light quality is great and can be used on a dimmer--recommended. Style and quality of the fixture is "classy" and met all expectations.

The Overcast Theatre, a new production company setting base in San Francisco mounts its inaugural production of the The Bald Soprano Read more
The Overcast Theatre, a new production company setting base in San Francisco mounts its inaugural production of the The Bald Soprano
About this project
The Bald Soprano was the first play written in 1950 by Romanian-French playwright Eugene Ionesco and along with Rhinocerus it became a signature contribution to the movement "Theatre of The Absurd".
This piece was first performed at the Theatre des Noctambules, on May 11, 1950 in Paris, France. Since then it had become one of the most frequently performed and re-imagined plays in the country.
About The Playwright
Ionesco was born in Slatina, Romania but spent the majority of his childhood in France. He returned to Romania in 1925 to study French Literature at the University of Bucharest. In 1936 he would marry and have his only daughter before returning to France in 1938. In 1970 he became a member of the Academie Francaise. Throughout his life he received multiple awards of recognition and excellence for his work in literature and theatre including merits from France, Italy, Monaco, Austria, Germany, Israel, The United States, and the UK. He would pass away in 1994 at the age of 84.
As a writer, Ionesco began his career writing primarily criticism and poetry and even unorthodox children's literature for his daughter. And like Samuel Beckett he would begin his theatrical career late as he would not write The Bald Soprano until he was 39. It is said Ionesco was inspired to write the play while learning English using the Assimil method. To Ionesco the sentences he would learn and have to memorize and their content left him stupefied as he was left to ponder that such things as there being 7 days of the week, that the ceiling was up, and the floor was down were in essence indisputably true.
About The Piece
The Bald Soprano welcomes us into the home of the Smiths, a well-to-do couple spending a seemingly delightful English evening like any other. Mrs. Smith is inclined to begin speaking about a myriad of topics as she tries to engage her husband in conversation while all he can do is be engrossed in the newspaper. They are interrupted by their eccentric maid named Mary. Mary alerts the Smiths that they have had guests waiting at the door for them for 4 hours!
On the other side there is the Martins, a loving and agreeable couple who at times cannot remember who they themselves are. Once the two couples sit together at last they come to the the jolting realization that they have nothing to say to each other, but silence is torturous so they try desperately to engage. Momentarily they are rescued by the curious Fire Chief who though on active duty, entertains and confuses with his experimental fables.
Once all the stories and conundrums and topics have run out and all others have left, the Martins and Smiths find themselves once again desperate for communication an understanding and an ever-growing difficulty in maintaining civility.
Being a signature of the Absurdist movement The Bald Soprano critiques concepts of social hierarchy, the fear of the unknown, the triviality of "small-talk", human relationships, the significance of human existence, and the routine of everyday life.
About The Production
This production aim to explore thoughts such as "When we converse do we say anything meaningful?, "To what degree is the mundane so integrated into our lives and how horrid is that?", and "What can possibly happen when language fails and meaning goes out along with it?, Can we hold on to our humanity?"
This production features 6 talented and imaginative performers, image and video projections, audience interaction, non-sequiturs, experiments in movement and composition, and mask work.

Finally About Us!
The Overcast Theatre is a new theatre/art/production company founded this year by Alejandro Torres. It's goal is not only to bring awesome theatre and art to the city of San Francisco but also to be a venue for new or upcoming artists to gain practical experiences whether they are actors, dancer, directors, choreographers, designers, stage managers, filmmakers, performance artists, playwrights, you name it. The company plans to mount three main productions next year and include open proposals for staged readings, dance jams, workshops, and nearly anything relating to smaller projects and developing work that need an outlet and an audience. Unlike the typical theatre company there is no one type of show or theatre or medium this company plans to specialize in or cater to. Overcast aims to cover as much as the spectrum as possible to demonstrate the capability and scope of theatre and art.

Risks and challenges
As Stated before, putting on theatre is never free or easy. It takes passion, dedication, and diligence on all parties involved. Imagine us, a theatre company in its infancy, embarking on its first journey, the risks and challenges are plentiful.
Will we be able to gather all our resources we need? Will we realize our vision? Will we objectively speaking put on a solid first show? Will our art be presented to enough people and connected to that, will we get an audience?
With so many theatre companies competing for an audience in a major city, it never is easy. And with so many tasks and steps that come with mounting a full production, the work is never done.
If funded some of the challenges and even the risks will be relieved to a certain degree. We can have more to play with in realizing our vision, we can have more time to rehearse in comfortable spaces that allow our performers to play and explore, we can get out name out and let people know about us with a little more funding given to publicity.
We may be younger artists but we have the drive and the skills and the desire to put on something wonderful for our always loved audience. Our actors are bold and fun, our designers are ambitious and creative, and our directors are passionate and have plenty of ideas. Plus we are putting on a ridiculously fun show, who doesn't want to see that?

For the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $(480,862), or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $(828,791), or $(0.13) per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Recap of First Quarter 2009
Richard J. DePiano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We produced solid revenue growth during the first fiscal quarter of 2009 while continuing to make strategic investments to broaden our product portfolio. Increased research and development expenses at Sonomed have resulted in the development of three new products. We expect that these new products will become available for sale during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2009. While operating expenses also rose during the quarter, much of this increase related to Drew's acquisition of JAS in May 2008, which enhanced Drew's position within the IVD reagent market. These actions, combined with the five FDA clearances we have received since July 2007, helped us realize product growth of 27% during the first fiscal quarter of 2009."
Mr. DePiano added, "In the Drew business unit, product revenue increased substantially to $1,214,000, or 40.0% year-over-year. Growth was driven by the JAS acquisition, improved reagent revenues and increased sales of Drew's D3 instrument. At Sonomed, we realized increased product revenue of $339,000, or 15.2%, as a expanded sales initiatives in Southeast Asia, India and the Pacific Rim. Sonomed's domestic sales also increased by approximately $80,000 related to cross-selling synergies achieved through utilizing EMI's sales force to represent Sonomed's products.

Hello DC area friends, Tomorrow the Nigerian Film Festival continues, running each Thursday in February, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art. Sadly, Chevron is a key sponsor of this event. Global Exchange has teamed with our partners, Justice in Nigeria Now (JINN) and Rainforest Action Network's brand new Change Chevron campaign to make sure that all who attend this festival know the truth about Chevron's horrendous ongoing record of abuse in Nigeria. Together, we created this postcard to distribute at the film: TAKE ACTION Please help us by attending -- and spreading the word to others to attend -- to support Nigerian filmmakers while making sure the Smithsonian knows audiences disapprove of the event's sponsor. RAN will distribute and collect the postcards and will then deliver them to the Smithsonian. The Film Festival runs every Thursday in February. For more information, go to http://www.nmafa.si.edu/calendar.html#/?i=1 If you'd like to volunteer to help distribute materials, please contact Kate Rooth of RAN at (202) 450-2826 or email@example.com.

Celebrate National Mole Day!
Today, October 23, is National Mole Day from 6:02 a.m. to 6.02 p.m. "Molar Express" is the theme for 2009. The "mole" is a way of counting the Avogadro number which is 6.02x10 to the 23rd power of anything. Amedeo Avogadro was a 19th century phycisist who discovered that the number of molecules in a mole is the same for all substances. This information is incredibly helpful to chemists who measure quantities of chemicals in their labs. Mole Day is celebrated to get students enthused about chemistry. The above website provides all kinds of nifty ideas on how to celebrate.
So impress your friends with this new bit of knowledge if you haven't heard of it already and....start counting! (I knew those moles were good for something besides tearing up the garden).
You seem like a nice person Maxine, but you simply cannot steal a © image and post it on the net - the mole picture belongs to a very nice man trying to make a living in the UK - the image is sold via Alamy (it is AFYAT3 in the Alamy library and it is clearly © David Cole) - If you were a commercial company I would charge you a license fee for your retroactive use - you are not - I won't - but please do not do it again - ALL pictures are the © of the person who created the image.

Review: 101 Ethical Dilemmas
User Review - Holmes - GoodreadsThe dilemmas are sometimes thought-provoking, but the discussions do not help in resolving the conflicts. The book's author does declare that his job is not to provide answers, but I expected to get more clear explanations than hundreds of quotes from philosophers. Read full review

Re: Seafevers BFS to Greenport and Back
That's really great.
We have some really nice winds. I left last Friday for 4 day sail with some old high school buddies. We left Mt. Sinai right after the thunderstorm left and rode the wind north to Bridgeport (Captains Cove). We had 20+ kts of wind on the port quarter and sailed out of there at 7+ kts. The next day we sailed from Bridgeport to Northport - right into a 15 SW. With a reefed main we sailed S right at the stacks, then tacked north west and eventually into Hunt. Harbor and then northport. Sunday we sailed to Port Jeff and had easterly's at 12 kts. For that sail we tacked NE to Bridgeport and then S to PJ. Finally on monday we sailed home to Mt. Sinai.
We only ran the engine to get in and out of harbors.
We sailed about 100 miles and the engine was on for maybe 20 minutes.
I hope the wind continues because tomorrow my kids and I are sailing to Mattituck.

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - Authorities say a Calcasieu Parish sheriff's deputy was fired after his arrest on rape and other sex charges.
Sheriff Tony Mancuso said in a news release that a woman reportedly contacted the sheriff's office on Oct. 30 and said her juvenile daughter was having sex with 40-year-old David N. Thomas
of Moss Bluff.
Mancuso said Thomas was fired Tuesday night.
Thomas faces charges of sexual battery and forcible rape.

Wildlife Tales from Kiawah Island
Photo: Photo: Kiawah Island Golf Resort
Turns out you don't need to book a flight to Africa to partake in a wildlife safari. Heck, you don't even need to get up from the computer. Just click over to nature blog, run by the resident biologists at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina (a state that could use a little good news these days). It's a surprisingly fascinating, and regularly updated, chronicle of the varying wildlife found on and around the island, from butterflies to egrets, and sea turtles to sharks. I've always thought of Kiawah as a leisure-sports destination--it's famous for its golf and tennis facilities--but this blog has opened my eyes to the island's natural splendors. After catching up with the posts, I'm rooting for Mingo, the green sea turtle who was rescued near the resort and is now being cared for at the South Carolina Turtle Hospital, as well as the one-hour-old fawn who was photographed on the island back in May. If you're lucky enough to make it to Kiawah this summer, you can see these and many more species in action on the resort's nature walks, photography tours, and dolphin encounters. Or just log on for the daily update.

So the city budget planners and City Council plan to cut library hours even more. Don't they know the people who like to use the libraries on Sunday afternoon are also the people who pay their salaries? Services that taxpayers actually use should always come first.
Let me see if I understand this correctly. The Wichita Public Library can't afford to buy new books, so our great city leaders are going to spend millions of our tax dollars to build a new library that they can't supply with new books. I'm sorry – I don't understand.
European countries run by socialist bureaucrats give us a glimpse of the future under Obama. Greek unions hold daily work stoppages. Italian unionists clash with police. Trains in Portugal grind to a stop. Unrest is scattered from Belgium to Spain. That is the message and forecast of socialism.
Republicans – the "real" patriots, the "real" Americans – as soon as democracy doesn't turn out the way they wanted, they want to secede. Real Americans respect the democratic process.
Let's give all those who have signed the petition to secede from the USA and some of our Kansas party leaders free bus tickets to Texas along with our blessing to secede. That would leave those of us who want to work together to restore America to greatness.
Let Texas secede. The national IQ will skyrocket.
All I have to say is: Go, Texas, go. My family and I will be your first immigrants.
I have relatives in Oklahoma and Texas. Will I have to get a passport to go visit them when they secede from the Union?
Record-setting sales on Black Friday. Record-setting sales on Cyber Monday. It is a shame how President Obama has wrecked our economy.
Since the retailers have pretty much dispensed with Thanksgiving Day by putting their Christmas displays right across the aisle from their Halloween displays, why don't we just dispense with Thanksgiving and have Black November?
Thanks, airlines, for raising prices so high that you have priced us out. My family chose the car this year for our Thanksgiving trip, and it was a great family experience. We made memories, the kids loved it, and it was well within our budget.
Am I alone in wishing that KWCH's "Does it Work?" segment would test commercial "male-enhancement" products?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Sentimental setting for nuptials
Couple ties knot in landmark's shadow
When planning their August wedding, Gerry Lavergne and Shelley Carlson wanted to go big or go home. In the end, they did both.
Saturday, after dating for exactly one year, the couple got married in grand fashion: on a sentimental dock with the Esplanade Riel bridge in the background of the neighbourhood they call home, St. Boniface.
They are the first couple to have their wedding reception at Chez Sophie, the restaurant atop the Esplanade Riel bridge, which was erected in 2003.
The reason behind the ceremony's location is one of many details in the Lavergne-Carlson story that sounds like something out of a Nicholas Sparks novel.
"My mom used to go to the same spot where we're getting married when she was going to school at the Collège St. Boniface. She would go there and have her supper. And I would always go there when I went running, way before I met Gerry," said Carlson. "I would stop there and I would kind of think about my future and do a little praying and meditating."
The dock below the bridge was also one of the first locations where Lavergne and Carlson went when they started dating. Though they knew each other for nine years before they started dating on Aug. 9, 2013, a fire pit in Lavergne's backyard was the spot of their actual first date.
Carlson was in the navy with Jasmine Zurbriggen, Lavergne's niece, who told her about an amazing uncle she had.
Seven years ago, when Carlson needed a place to stay, Zurbriggen said Lavergne had an open suite for rent in his home. So Carlson moved in. "He was actually my landlord before we got to know each other, and it just clicked," she said.
They lived in the same house for two years before they began dating. The fire pit in their shared backyard brought them together one night, and a smaller version of that pit decorated the top of their wedding cake Saturday.
"Six months to the day (on Feb. 9), in the middle of winter, I started a fire in the backyard in the snow," said Lavergne. He popped the question, flat-out surprising Carlson.
"I was thinking it was for our six-month anniversary -- I had no clue he was going to propose," Carlson said. Her answer was an immediate yes.
On Saturday, Lavergne and Carlson invited 120 of their closest friends and family to their wedding ceremony and reception.
Carlson's dad, Bruce, composed all of the music for the ceremony, while Carlson recorded a cover of an Alison Krauss song, When You Say Nothing At All, that was played for the couple's first dance.
"I recorded the song actually years ago before I met him and then I played it for him when I did meet him because it reminded me of him," said Carlson.
The proverbial cherry on top? Zurbriggen, who introduced the couple, performed the marriage ceremony, too.

Swansea 0-0 Crystal Palace
Swansea held play-off rivals Crystal Palace to a draw after surviving the 17th-minute dismissal of Albert Serran.Serran brought down Neil Danns, referee Anthony Taylor controversially brandishing a straight red card for an alleged elbow from the Swans defender. Danns and Calvin Andrew went close with headers as the Eagles immediately took command against their depleted foes.

I recently treated myself to a Monster Mill MM2 for Giftmas, and opted out of the factory hopper (for the time being). In lieu of $30/$40 for this attachment, I figured I would mount the mill on the underside of the factory base and use a trashcan or similar with a hole cut in the bottom. My new hardware arrived today, and after playing with it for a few, realized I will be needing a way to direct my grain into the roller gap. This is my yet to be tested solution. ^The unboxing. The main assembly if massive. ^At any other time in my life I would have been more than happy to cut myself a base board for this, however living in an apartment has it's limitations...routing being one of them. ^Baseboard/mill underside. ^Today we use salvaged aluminum panel from a server chassis. The base board was used as a template for screw hole placement and sheet sizing. Somewhat of a mistake as the baseboard screw holes themselves were not well placed in the board. Enlarging the holes took care of alignment issues. ^Material removed using a large jeweler's saw. ^Edges filed and clean.... ^Halved. ^It's hard to see, but I cut inward 1/2" on either side of each panel on what was measured to be the inside of the mill frame. I am using the vise as a straight edge to bend against. ^Bend angle was estimated and only needed a slight adjustment later on.
nice and clean!
You may find you will need some triangles on each end of the rollers where they come close to the end plates. If you get too much grain there it will start having issues.
Are You Going to Drink all That?
Many thanks for the suggestion good sirs. Will definitely look into it.
I'd love to see a pic of these "triangles" along with any other pics of funnels and hoppers. A grain mill is most likely in my near future.
Consider it done. I'll work on a solution either this weekend or as the work week starts.
Looking good!

I have been loading for a couple of sportered sweedes for a few years, but mostly aimed toward hunting ammo. Favorite loads for that are 129 Grain Hornady over 44 grains of IMR 4350, and 120 grain Nosler Balistc tips over 44.5 grains of RE-19. Both are pretty accurate and have proven to make deer and pigs DRT. Now I want to put togeter some target loads and was wondering what others are shooting.

look at Sierra Match Kings and Hornady A-max bullets. That is all I can offer at this time.
I really don't use my hunter for target. I use my Military Swede's. I have a little trouble w/ 140 and above in my hunter, the troat is shorter and tighter than my military rifles. If I bevel the outside of the case mouth I find it cycles easier. 140gr Hornady SP and 160gr RN are excellent in all my rifles. I Did have 500 140gr Speer SP that I bought for $40.00 a few years ago. I have 100 left. They shoot very well. For target handloads, I use Norma brass. Graf is VG also. For My M41b I only use Swede surplus. I was given 20 Sierra 140gr BTHP matchking that were 1 ragged hole w/ the same 140gr recipe I have always used @ 100 yards. Pricey for everyday range bullets though.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Both mine still have Milatary barrels/chambers, I figure to go with the heavier bullets get them seated out closer to the lands. I am thinking about going with some faster burning powder also, maybe 3031,4198.
Thanks, thats some good data. I already have IMR 4350,4895, and 4831. I will give those a try.

Review: Kopitiam by Wilai, Phuket
Kopitiam by Wilai is a newish place but its retro design complete with vintage photos of the island's past makes it feel like an old favourite in Phuket's Old Town. The word kopitiam should be familiar to travellers around Southeast Asia, a Malay-Hokkien phrase that translates simply to "coffee shop". It's a fitting name for … read the full post

Leonardo DiCaprio will move one step closer to replacing Robert De Niro as Martin Scorsese's most-favored muse, with Deadline confirming in its inimitably vainglorious way that the two have officially signed on for their fifth collaboration, The Wolf Of Wall Street. Production begins this August on a film that's been rumored for years now, with Scorsese wresting it back from potential usurpers like Ridley Scott—which means the press release can now refer to it as a "gangster" picture about "the rise of new 'modern' gangsters in New York," because Martin Scorsese, gangster picture, whaddaya need, a road.

Constantine Samuel Rafinesque-Schmaltz, as he is known in Europe (October 22, 1783 – September 18, 1840), was a nineteenth-century polymath who made notable contributions to botany, zoology, the study of prehistoric earthworks in North America and ancient Mesoamerican linguistics.
Rafinesque was eccentric, and is often portrayed as an "erratic genius".[1] He was an autodidact who excelled in various fields of knowledge, as a zoologist, botanist, writer and polyglot. He wrote prolifically on such diverse topics as anthropology, biology, geology, and linguistics, but was honored in none of these fields during his lifetime. Today, scholars agree that he was far ahead of his time in many areas.[2][3]
Rafinesque was born on October 22, 1783[4] in Galata, a suburb of Constantinople.[5][6] His father F. G. Rafinesque was a French merchant from Marseilles; his mother M. Schmaltz was of German descent and born in Constantinople.[5] His father died in Philadelphia about 1793.[7] Rafinesque spent his youth in Marseilles,[5] and was mostly self-educated, he never attended University.[8][9] By the age of twelve, he had begun collecting plants for a herbarium.[10] By fourteen, he taught himself perfect Greek and Latin because he needed to follow footnotes in the books he was reading in his grandmothers' libraries. In 1802, at the age of nineteen, Rafinesque came to Philadelphia with his younger brother, and traveled through Pennsylvania and Delaware,[6] where he made the acquaintance of most of the young nation's few botanists.[11] In 1805 he returned to Europe with his collection of botanical specimens, and settled in Palermo, Sicily.[6][12] He became so successful in trade that he could retire by age twenty-five and devote his time entirely to natural history. For a time Rafinesque also worked as secretary to the American consul.[12] During his stay in Sicily he studied plants and fishes,[4] naming many species of each.
In 1815, after his son died, Rafinesque left his common-law wife and returned to the United States. When his ship Union foundered near the coast of Connecticut, he lost all his books (50 boxes) and all his specimens (including more than 60,000 shells).[13] Settling in New York, Rafinesque became a founding member of the newly established "Lyceum of Natural History."[14] In 1817 his book Florula Ludoviciana was strongly criticized by fellow botanists, which caused his writings to be ignored. By 1818, he had collected and named more than 250 new species of plants and animals. Slowly he was rebuilding his collection of objects from nature.
In 1819 Rafinesque became professor of botany at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, where he also gave private lessons in French, Italian and Spanish.[15] He started recording all the new species of plants and animals he encountered in travels throughout the state. He was considered an erratic student of higher plants. In the spring of 1826, he left the university[16] after quarreling with its president.
Rafinesque traveled and lectured in various places, and endeavored to establish a magazine and a botanic garden, but without success. He moved to Philadelphia without employment. He published The Atlantic Journal and Friend of Knowledge, a Cyclopædic Journal and Review,[17] of which only eight numbers appeared (1832–1833). He also gave public lectures and continued publishing, mostly at his own expense.
Rafinesque died of stomach and liver cancer in Philadelphia on September 18, 1840.[18] It has been speculated that the cancer may have been induced by Rafinesque's self-medication years before with a mixture containing maidenhair fern.[19] He was buried in a plot in what is now Ronaldson's Cemetery.[18] In March 1924 what were thought to be his remains were brought back to Transylvania University and reinterred in a tomb under a stone inscribed, "Honor to whom honor is overdue."[20][21]
Rafinesque published 6,700 binomial names of plants, many of which have priority over more familiar names.[22] The quantity of new taxa he produced, both plants and animals, has made Rafinesque memorable or even notorious among biologists.[23] The standard author abbreviation Raf. is used to indicate Rafinesque as the author when citing a botanical name.[24]
Rafinesque applied to join the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but was twice turned down by Thomas Jefferson.[25] After studying the specimens collected by the expedition, he assigned scientific names to the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus), the White-footed Mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus).
In 1836 Rafinesque published his first volume of The American Nations. This included Walam Olum, a purported migration and creation narrative of the Lenape ("Delaware Indians"). It told of their migration to the lands around the Delaware River. Rafinesque claimed he had obtained wooden tablets engraved and painted with indigenous pictographs, together with a transcription in the Lenape language, from which he produced an English translation of the tablets' contents. Rafinesque claimed the original tablets and transcription were later lost, leaving his notes and transcribed copy as the only record of evidence.
For over a century after Rafinesque's publication, the Walam Olum was widely accepted by ethnohistorians as authentically Native American in origin. But, as early as 1849, when the document was republished by Ephraim G. Squier, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft wrote to Squier saying that he believed the document might be fraudulent.[26] In the 1950s the Indiana Historical Society published a "re-translation" of the Walam Olum, as "a worthy subject for students of aboriginal culture".[27]
Later linguistic, ethnohistorical, archaeological and textual analyses, particularly from the 1980s and 1990s onward, suggested that the Walam Olum account was largely or entirely a fabrication, and described its record of authentic Lenape traditional migration stories as spurious.[28] After the publication in 1995 of David Oestreicher's thesis, The Anatomy of the Walam Olum: A 19th Century Anthropological Hoax, many scholars concurred with his analysis, and concluded that Rafinesque had been either the perpetrator, or perhaps the victim, of a hoax.[28] Other scholars, writers, and some among the Lenape continue to find the account plausible and support its authenticity.[28]
Rafinesque made a notable contribution to North American prehistory with his studies of ancient earthworks, especially in the Ohio Valley. He was the first to label these the "Ancient Monuments of America." He listed more than 500 such archaeological sites in Ohio and Kentucky.[29] Rafinesque never excavated;[30] rather, he recorded the sites visited by careful measurements, sketches, and written descriptions. Only a few of his descriptions found publication, but his work was used by others. For instance, he identified 148 sites in Kentucky. All sites in Kentucky which were included by E. G. Squier and Davis in their notable Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley (1848), were originally identified by Rafinesque in his manuscripts.[31]
Rafinesque also made contributions to Mesoamerican studies. The latter were based on linguistic data which he extracted from printed sources, mostly those of travelers. He designated as Taino, the ancient language of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.[32] Others later also used the term to identify the ethnicity of indigenous Caribbean peoples.
Although mistaken in his presumption that the ancient Maya script was alphabetical in nature, Rafinesque was probably first to insist that studying modern Mayan languages could lead to deciphering the ancient script. In 1832 he was the first to partly decipher ancient Maya. He explained that its bar-and-dot symbols represent fives and ones, respectively.[33][34]
Thomas Nuttall named a new genus Rafinesquia after Rafinesque in 1841, feeling indebted to Rafinesque after he had given Nuttall's Flora a positive review.[35] It now contains two species, Rafinesquia californica Nutt. (California Plumeseed or California Chicory) and Rafinesquia neomexicana A. Gray (Desert Chicory or Plumeseed).[36]
In 1892 James Hall and J. M. Clarke proposed the genus name Rafinesquina in honor of Rafinesque for a number of fossil brachiopod species[37] then belonging to genus Leptaena; the genus is now in the family Rafinesquinidae.

F1 medic Sid Watkins dies at 84
LONDON -- Sid Watkins, the former Formula One medical chief credited with saving the lives of several race drivers and introducing major safety improvements in the series, has died. He was 84.
Team officials and Watkins' family said the English neurosurgeon died on Wednesday, with an F1 statement describing him as a "safety pioneer."
Oreovicz: Watkins Laid Safety Foundation
Every racing driver who has competed in Formula One over the past 30 years owes a debt of gratitude to Sid Watkins and his team of physicians, John Oreovicz writes. Blog
Watkins, who tended to Ayrton Senna after the three-time champion's fatal crash at Imola in 1994, was at the forefront of F1 safety for 26 years and served as medical delegate from 1978 to 2004.
"Many drivers and ex-drivers owe their lives to his careful and expert work, which resulted in the massive advances in safety levels that today's drivers possibly take for granted," McLaren chairman Ron Dennis said.
"No, he wasn't a driver. No, he wasn't an engineer. No, he wasn't a designer. He was a doctor and it's probably fair to say that he did more than anyone, over many years, to make Formula One as safe as it is today."
As a trackside doctor, the man known as "The Prof" was credited with helping save the lives of Finland's two-time F1 champion Mika Hakkinen, Austrian Gerhard Berger and Brazilian Rubens Barrichello, among others, after crashes.
"It was Sid Watkins that saved my life in Imola 94. great guy to be with, always happy...tks for everything u have done for us drivers. RIP," Barrichello tweeted.
"No, he wasn't a driver. No, he wasn't an engineer. No, he wasn't a designer. He was a doctor and it's probably fair to say that he did more than anyone, over many years, to make Formula One as safe as it is today.
" -- McLaren chairman Ron Dennis
Senna was the last F1 driver to die during a race, with Watkins' tireless safety campaigning and push to improve the standard of medical facilities widely regarded as the main factor behind the improved measures since then. There are now universal standards in medical centers at circuits and a medical helicopter is mandatory at all F1 races.
"RIP Prof. Sid Watkins," Senna's nephew, Bruno, who races for Williams, tweeted. "Sad news for us who stay behind."
Watkins became a professor of neurosurgery at London Hospital in 1970.
After his F1 medical career, Watkins retired in 2005 but continued to campaign for safety improvements in motorsport through his role as the first president of the FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety.
He stepped down from that post in 2011 and retained an honorary role.
The FIA said Watkins made a "unique contribution to motor sport."
"This is a truly sad day for the FIA family and the entire motor-sport community," FIA president Jean Todt said. "We will always be grateful for the safety legacy that he has left our sport."

- " A really great room for the money. The owner was a really nice person too. He helped us a lot in our trips around town with good advices. Location is a quiet place quite near to Downtown and most of attraction. Walk to the subway is a short stroll too If you doesn't like walking. The only problem was temperature in the room. It was sometimes really cold in the night. Also the smell was funky but you can get used to it. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. "

- " Decent location. Eventhough a bit annoyding if you have to park a car. (only 12 h intervals not 24h). There was a lot of dust aswell in the room. But the price was quite decent. The guy running the place was nice and helpfull when we arrived. But i dont know if this i gonna matter at all, while we were there, new buyers were in the house (and knocking on our door to see the room). "

- " The room was tidy and clean and the bed comfortable. The hostel staff was friendly and willing to cooperate, they even waited for our late check in and extended our check out time. The shower needs a little bit of updating, especially regarding the waterproof curtain. In general, I think it is a good place to stay for a short time in Toronto. "

- " Terrible... Very dirty especially the bed... Smell like a homeless was coming up from the bed. I couldn't get a sleep well. Worthless. "

- " We stayed in the garret on the 3rd floor which has a king size bed and single one. The room was so lovely and clean, huge. Wifi was pretty fast and well condition. Staff were nice. The location were a bit far from Yonge street x dundas street, but we can take a bus/ train. Also there's everything around the guesthouse. A grocery store, bank, restaurant, bakery, cafe. We enjoyed the stay there and love that pretty room! "

- " Fellow who runs the building came out to meet us when we first arrived. He was very friendly, and directed us to some yummy eats around the hostel. "

- " The room we stayed in was big and had loads of storage, which was fantastic as we stayed for 12 nights. There was a refrigerator in the room too and the bed was comfy!. It is a peaceful place to stay, great for relaxing! The average scoring for cleanliness is because of the shower, it needs a good cleaning and it would have been perfect. Everything else was great. The people running the guest house are so nice and this is why I would recommend you to stay here! Well worth it! "

- " Cute bed and breakfast style hostel without the breakfast. Stayed in a double room. We ran late for check in due to plane delays and staff waited for us which was very kind. Location is quite close to the city with a 10 min walk to the subway. (You can take the bus just outside the door but we never had the right change and preferred to use the train). Staff were also helpful with information about the city, transport etc. Large room, with closet space and extra blankets/pillows. Excellent wifi! "

- " It's an old house with character. Not luxury accommodations by any means but the hosts were wonderful, it's a great value, and I have no complaints whatsoever. The location is a bit far from the city centre but right on a bus line (the buses, streetcars, and subway are very well integrated) and there are a few subway stops that aren't too far. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again myself. "
