The importance attached to filtering noise out of signal is growing significantly due to the requirement for faster and improved communication systems such as high-speed Internet access and wireless communication. The low-noise amplifier (LNA) is one of the major components in a wireless communication system, employed at the receiver side and is usually the immediate component to the Antenna in the receiver chain. This report attempts to explain the design of a low-noise-amplifier according to specifications. Using 0.35 μm technology to build the layout and the opes-source layout design tool - Microwind to simulate its operation, the performance of the LNA was optimized through the use of different circuit topologies and components. Based on the results obtained from simulation, the components were varied and sized to reach the desired results. The other aspect of the design process that was explored was effect of parasitics to assess the impact of physical structure and it's impact on the over all operation the LNA. To execute this task, the in-built parasitic extraction tool of Microwind was used. To a large extent, the objectives were met, thereby satisfying the requirements of the project. This include meeting the peak gain requirement of 22dB at the desired frequency of 435MHz, an input impedance of 50 ohms and a high output impedance with good noise removal characteristics. However, further study is proposed to explore the use of the Microwind design tool in designing complex analog circuitry and also using the circuit model in many other applications.

Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA), Dodecyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (DBSA), or simply Sulphonic Acid are few of the several names given to a type of organic acid that can be represented by the general formula R–SO2 –OH, where 'R' is usually a hydrocarbon side chain.
LABSA or sulphonic acid is the largest-volume synthetic surfactant manufactured because of its relatively low cost and good performance.
Sulphonic acids have the unique tendency to bind to proteins and carbohydrates tightly; most "washable" dyes are sulphonic acids (or have the functional sulfonyl group in them) for this reason. Sulphonic acids and their salts ( sulphonates ) are used extensively in such diverse products like detergents, sulfa drugs, anion exchange resins for water purification, dyes, emulsifiers,etc.
Sulphonic acid is soluble in water and is corrosive to metal and tissue.
Available Packaging:
ACI's sulphonic acid is available in durable 210 kg plastic drums.

|37 reviews in total
well,I'm two episodes in and I'm hooked.i was a bit dubious at first
about the cast,but i have to say they've all got into their roles
brilliantly.its especially worth noting the performances of steve evets
and ricky tomlinson,both truly underrated actors who have a larger than
life screen presence and boy can they deliver those emotional scenes...
'in the flesh' is gritty,solid,brilliantly written and delves into questions never asked before.even the soundtrack has its moments of simple beauty.
if you like zombies and you like good television,'in the flesh' is well worth watching.
9/10.....(it loses a star because 3 episodes is not enough...which when you think about it,is a compliment to the writers and their ability to weave a gripping story....I'm hooked and 3 eps just isn't enough)
Just watched "In The Flesh" and thoroughly enjoyed it. An interesting
take on Zombie apocalypse, playing with our preconceptions of Zombie
rules and presenting a tense personal drama. Many plot lines and
complex relationships with plenty to make you think about in between
Disappointed to see one (spectacularly) bad review for this mini-series but I think all of the other positive reviews speak for themselves. If you want to see some Zombie carnage (which I do like) then this is not it. However, given that almost all Zombie films/series feature brains and blood letting action, I think there is room for something a bit more contemplative, gentle and thought provoking.
When you see a new drama previewed on BBC Three you can be sometimes
forgiven for thinking 'its on a channel for kids and student types
-must be rubbish' and then forgot all about it. I remembered Id seen
the trailer and decided to give it a go-not expecting much...after all
its on BBC Three.
So I gave it a go and I wasn't disappointed. In the Flesh is a brilliantly written and acted, realist, British 'kitchen sink drama' take on the Zombie apocalypse that gives the viewer lots to think about on Life, Death and Love.
With standout performances from Ken Loach stalwarts Ricky Tomlinson and Steve Evets and newcomers Luke Newberry and Harriet Cains In the Flesh delivers as emotionally driven drama and a horror
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I find it very refreshing the show starts off with a completely different view than TWD for example. We get to step into the zombie shoes; lead actor's humanity is re-installed by medication and we follow his rehabilitation back to society. As expected, it doesn't go nice and smooth.
We get to see humanity from a perspective most of us would not think to think on our own and I believe this is one of the strong points the show has.
The cast seems great and I'm very much looking forward to the next episode.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In The Flesh begins at the end, by asking us this question: What if the
un-dead could be cured?
The un-dead have been cured, reclassified as Partially Deceased Syndrome sufferers and are returning to their homes, their lives, their towns. Towns filled with non-sufferers who have spent years fighting PDS sufferers (Rotters), fearing them, killing them to survive themselves.
And that's where we are invited to watch how the integration unfolds.
You could simplify it down to homosexual allegory (there is a queer aspect to the central character's storyline), but that's like saying that Casablanca is about a bar in Morocco. The philosophical concepts dealt with so far are more complex than that.
How we accept, or don't accept, the things we don't understand and the consequences of that. The concept of nature versus nurture (There is this scene toward the end of the second episode, involving a father and his daughter. Heartbreakingly beautiful in it's simplicity). Honesty - how we deal with the truth when it is often so hurtful.
Everything feels real about this series. Other shows I'm watching at the moment either break the fourth wall and remind you they aren't real, or they make mistakes and it takes you out of the world they have created for a moment - Revolution should work, but the soundtrack is mismatched with the events on screen and keeps jolting me out of the shows reality. The Following has fantastic actors and the idea is great but there are still moments where you catch yourself thinking something was a little too convenient, even within the confines of the reality of the show.
I haven't had that with In The Flesh yet. The soundtrack is minimalist, and that works for this kind of television. The actors are talented, the conversations on screen are so understated, which is refreshing. I hope the series creators can continue what they've begun, I think it will be interesting to see where this goes.
Now, I would have given it a ten, but I've only seen the first episode
and drama's normally cannot achieve a ten and I doubt they ever will.
The good: This is one of the only drama's that aren't over dramatic, most over dramas have them overreacting to everything which is stupid and pointless. But in the flesh captures the drama genre perfectly like no other drama could ever do.
The action is spectacular and fresh, it's not everyday you see a zombie drama is it? This one just get's the job done just right.
The lighting sets a great effect that really capture the atmosphere of it all.
The storyline is also superb and strong.
It's very unique of how the zombies can be good if they aren't rabid!
The bad: Only 3 episodes, now this is one of the only bad points. It isn't so bad but I would love it to be at least six part drama.
Can be sometimes confusing, like sometimes you won't know what's going on. Like some people won't know what a rotter is.
9/10 it's an amazing drama that is worth checking out.
In The Flesh did something most series or movies can't do to me: it
actually caught my attention, it motivated me to stay with my eyes
glued to the screen and even go back when I didn't pay attention for a
The thing I like most about this series is that it doesn't portray "zombies" as other productions. They're not the cruel creatures that come to kill you, even though they can be like that in their most primitive stages. Those who have the so called PDS are as rational or emotional as anyone who hasn't died before.
The fact that the protagonist is one of the "zombies" makes it more interesting, for we see their suffering from their own point of view, we feel their struggles to overcome the prejudice that targets them and to deal with the bad they involuntarily did.
With its moral questions, innovative plot and entertaining production, In The Flesh is definitely a must see. The only reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that it hasn't yet answered many questions I have, but I trust that new seasons will come and bring the required information.
Rarely does a drama come along which is original as In the Flesh. I
fear that when most people hear it's about zombies they imagine it's a
poor man's Walking Dead but actually the two shows have few things in
common. The show is all about what happens when zombies are cured and
brought back into society.
One of the one hand it is a good supernatural drama. "Rotters", as they tend to be known in this world, actually play a bigger part in the second series. There are rotter attacks and a mythology about a second rising. The whole concept is unique and the writers continually add the the actually pretty small mythos.
On the other hand though the "partially deceased syndrome" sufferers play a very real-world role. They are symbolic of any race or group of people have been segregated and made a prejudice by the majority due to fear and lack of understanding. The key point is that the undead only cause trouble when they are provoked. There are also lots of other issues appearing in the show, like extreme politics and the effect of religion.
A supernatural drama which brilliantly reflects on real world issues, In the Flesh is brilliant. The first series was good but the second series totally eclipses it. I really hope that it will get a third series.
\Going into this series i knew only one thing about this show and that
was it had zombies in it and I needed something to tie me over until
the next season of Walking Dead arrived. What i got was an emotional
roller coaster which not only takes the typical zombie gore fest in a
new and less mindless direction but provides an inescapable emotional
roller coaster ride which i would highly recommend.
The series focuses on Kieren Walker a recovering zombie who is placed back with his family and has to deal with his new condition as well as the prejudice and hate that comes from the accepting community around him. The concept itself is very interesting and many of the subjects it touches upon has real world and often very relative implications.
In The Flesh is not a TV show to watch for mindless entertainment, it looks deeply at real world issues and can get quite dark, looking at ideas of prejudice, suicide, sexuality and extreme religious views. What ever you do don't watch In the Flesh for loads of gore or violence because you wont get much, however this I think serves the show well and its sparing use of violence and gore even more impact when situations do escalate to deadly results.
Visually the show is a treat and beautifully shot, with excellent locations and a diverse range of settings its hard to falter the production values of this show. Acting is top notch and every cast member gives memorable performances and I think this is what really brings in the flesh to life. It creates these living breathing characters that you feel for and understand, which makes their problems even more relatable and interesting.
I have to warn you though that this is not a feel good tap your heels and skip off into the sunset type of show and I often tell people that if you get into this show there will be more than a few tears shed by the end. To me this show has positioned itself quite comfort next to some of my favourite TV shows. Well worth a check out. Bring on Season 2 is all I can say!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
In the flesh was simply amazing from start to finish i was caught up in whirls of emotion , from disgust to empathy. Set after a outbreak for the dead rising from the graves the government has invented a vaccine that is injected directly into the back of the neck to stop the rotters from turning back into savage beasts they once where. All the undead are kept in a special army /nhs ran hospital to treat them for the illness. The government is someday hoping for them to return back to normal life by sending them back to their families.
However there is a horde of civilians that aren't to happy about the idea of co-existing with the once mindless zombies that ate human brains. Armed with some of the latest weapons they set out to stop them coming back into civilian life.
The plot is simply sublime never in my life of watching horrors would i of though about a event that could happen after a invasion of zombies. It was always just a massacrer and ended badly. But somehow the writers of this show have thought up something so unique its stunned and shocked me to my very core.
If your a fan of zombie films , and great British acting. Please watch this 3 part show! I cant credit the writers enough for bringing a new age of zombie shows on us.

But the Radio Authority, which called in auditors after accusations were made by a former director on BBC2's Newsnight about the award of Vibe FM's licence in 1997, is still awaiting the outcome of a separate police investigation into a senior member of its staff.
Janet Lee, the authority's programming and advertising director, is on police bail pending an investigation into whether a radio station paid for some flights she took overseas.
Grant Thornton, the auditors, investigated the separate matter of accusations about the award of a licence to Vibe FM amid allegations that an authority meeting awarded the licence after a previous meeting had awarded it to a rival bidder.
The report revealed that the authority's chairman, Sir Peter Gibbings, had a shareholding in the winning radio group, but that this shareholding was known to the authority and had been placed in a charitable trust.
The auditors have recommended that the authority tighten up some of its procedures for awarding licences.
The Radio Authority plans to write to the BBC asking it to broadcast a retraction of what it described as a "biased and unbalanced" news story. The BBC said yesterday that it has to study the auditors' report before
responding to it.

It is that time again all over the Northeast for flower and garden shows.
Next week it is the Connecticut show in Hartford:
It is my favorite thing to do. Senior citizen prices on Thursday and I think Friday. If you purchase NOTHING, the info is invaluable. And so much fun!
Connecticut Flower & Garden Show
It is that time again all over the Northeast for flower and garden shows.
There's a bus trip to the Hartford Flower Show leaving Litchfield on the 22nd.....$21 for bus & admission....want to go if I can find someone to let my dog out around 1:00....hoping my brother can do that.
CT is alittle too far for me in the winter time but i have bought tickets to the one here in Maine. ^_^
When is that one, Pixie?
March 6-10th
Sounds like fun....
And the grand Philadelphia Show is not far behind. I just wish I lived a bit closer to attend that show as well.
I feel that these shows bring us to the starting line for the new season.
Went to the NJ one today
Went to the Connecticut show today and was somewhat disappointed to miss some favorite vendors. Seems to me there were fewer landscape displays. I never have been a fan of the cut flower competitive displays, so I cannot criticize. Seems there were fewer real vendors, that is, related to gardening as opposed to hats, scarves, dresses, soap and jewelry.
Still lots of good landscape and gardening ideas and soil testing and extension services help.
Same thing with NJ, I have to remind myself not to go next year
Anyone interested in going to the Philly show???
flowAjen, I guess you picked up on my disappointment also. For me it was almost 80 miles away. I don't think I'll go next year either.
I hope you get to go the Philly show if it is not too far away. Philly is 2.25 hours for me (if there is no traffic), and I'm getting too old to drive and not be too exhausted to walk the show. I used to be able to go to Philadelphia, leaving at 5:20 a.m. and get back by 10:30 a.m., but those days are past.
Some people on the MA forum are planning staying overnight, they have done that in previous years
Looks like it should only take about 40mins for me
Have a great time. I'll be looking for your report back in about nine or ten days.
I'll be at the Philadelphia flower show next Friday or Saturday. I'm really looking forward to a few hours at the show.

Members of the collapsed Streetcred credit union have been urged to contact the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for a refund.
The Lancashire-based credit union closed its doors on 16 October, leaving its 3,000 members – many of whom are on a low income – exposed to potential losses. However, the union's deposits are protected by the FSCS up to £35,000 per claim. Within nine days of the collapse, compensation was being paid.
This is a quick turnaround for the FSCS, which has been criticised in the past for taking too long to reunite investors with their cash when a financial institution goes bust. This time around, with low-income consumers involved and Christmas approaching, the FSCS "pulled out all the stops", said Loretta Minghella, the scheme's chief executive.
"We have sent application forms for compensation to just over 3,000 members of the credit union and would encourage those who believe they have lost money to return the forms as soon as possible."
Any members who have not yet heard from the FSCS and are owed money should contact the scheme on 020 7892 7300.
"We are aiming to complete paying Streetcred members by Christmas," added Ms Minghella.

learn which does not require access to expensive machinery and in fact
the design side can be done with software that's either free software or
zero cost proprietary software. It's also (at least this side of the
pond) a skill that is now taught in schools as part of technical
education - so kids are coming out of college having done 3D printing
work, 3D CAD and the like.
For non printable parts American Z is well served with trucks, wheels and
couplers easily available.
For things like weights or small parts that are too fragile when printed
you can also do white metal drop casting at home without anything major
(except maybe permission from the household authorities to use the
kitchen as a metalworks ;) )
There isn't a fundamental barrier to doing this stuff yourself, likewise
CNC machining and tool making. You can get hand plastic moulding machines
for peanuts second hand. Not something you'd want to run a major
production run on but perfectly good for very low volume work, and much
easier to cut tools for as you don't need ejector pins and other
The key to bringing production back home wherever you are is to go do it.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4w9n4n/chinese_and)
has announced the addition of the "Chinese
and Taiwanese Markets for Minimally Invasive Spinal Devices (Executive
Summary)" report to their offering.
The Chinese market for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) spinal devices
is the least mature and fastest growing market in the Asia-Pacific
region due to the high number of untreate potential patients. Similar
to the other BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries, access to
healthcare in rural areas of China is extremely limited. As a result of
economic growth and an initiative by the Chinese government to vastly
improve healthcare, a large number of previously untreated spine
patients in China's rural population are now undergoing minimally
invasive spine surgery due to increased access.

If brass experiences a shortage, there is always the possibility of buyback or tradein schemes for used brass recycling. It might get more expensive for awhile but in the long run market pressure will even things out, either at the ammunition manufacturer level (with buybacks/recycling) or at the raw material level.

Still fantastic Nelson. I caught colosse, nice work on that as well- I have been going back through MSM animation stuff for a refresh, and this is still as good as ever.
nice animation and I think there is a message hidden in it, the boat went through alot in its lifetime, and had to be a survivor, through circumstances the boat was able to survive, not on its own at times but from out side help.Through its survival the boat indirectly helped many people.Sometimes the smallest help goes unrewarded and you cant see until you see the entire picture.The sailboat reminds me of those small things that help us in life and we are appreciative, but dont really understand what it takes for those small miracles to happen)
That is one gorgous sweet ass animation you did there nj.

|Politique Diabolique
|Aug 10 2016
When asked for comment, Satanic Church leader Lucien Greaves took time from etching pentagrams and deflowering virgins long enough to suggest that children being threatened with eternal hellfire need the healthy alternative belief system Satanism provides. He's being disingenuous, of course—the Satanists are really just atheists with a finely honed sense of humor. The confrontation promises to be political theater of a uniquely American sort, but it will inevitably end in judicial defeat for Christian clubs. At least until they manage to write Christianity into the U.S. Constitution—not so farfetched, considering there are politicians like Arizona's Sylvia Allen publicly pondering whether her state can force citizens to attend church. Maybe the founding fathers should have taken a tip from Satan and written the Constitution in blood. That way breaking the deal would cost politicians their souls.
|Politique Diabolique
|May 8 2014
When you have a site category called politique diabolique, it's malpractice to leave stories like this alone. In Oklahoma back in 2012, a state representative named Mike Ritze used a legal loophole to get a plaque of the Ten Commandments installed on the lawn of the statehouse in Oklahoma City. State sponsorship of religious displays is expressly forbidden there because of that whole separation of church and state thing, but because Ritze was also a private citizen and he made a gift of the plaque, it was supposedly not covered by separation laws. An impartial court might have had something different to say about that, but in any case, thanks to Ritze warping state law, Christian groups finally got what they wanted—a religious monument on state property and a brazen in-your-face to America's founding fathers. Congratulations and backslapping all around.
The same lawmakers are now working hard to pervert more laws—specifically those regarding historic preservation—to stop Satan's arrival. There are three possible conclusions to the fiasco. If the Satanic monument is blocked, particularly by using preservation laws to protect a two-year-old plaque, lawmakers will have proven that what they say about inclusive religious freedom is false, because future monuments,whether Jewish, Mormon, or other, would be likewise blocked. If they allow the monument, Satanists will have equal standing with God on state property and children who pass by will exclaim, "Mommy, look a goat man! Can I go for a ride?" And if lawmakers remove the Ten Commandments, everyone from Satanists to Constitutional scholars will get what they wanted in 2012, and Ritze and Co. will drink the bitter milk of defeat. Only men blinded by piety could paint themselves into such a corner. For our part, we don't want Satan at the statehouse, if only to spare Oklahomans the future scandal of certain legislators being caught genuflecting before him under a sickle moon. Do you doubt it? Then you don't know politics.

Covering the Great Recession
The gravest economic crisis since the Great Depression has been covered in the media largely from the top down, told primarily from the perspective of the Obama administration and big business.
Media Have Less Influence on Views about Health Care, Economy
News outlets play much less of a role in shaping views of health reform and the economy — where personal experiences are an important factor — than they do on environmental issues and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Little Evidence of Obama Overexposure
The number of Americans hearing "too much" about the president has not increased during his push for health care.
Health Care Debate Seen as "Rude and Disrespectful"
Health care reform has been the dominant news story since late July, but it now has a 29-point advantage over the second most closely followed story. But most Americans say the tone of the debate has been negative.
Most Plan to Watch Obama Speech
Interest in health care reform remains extremely high, but two-thirds continue to say the issue is hard to understand.
Public Worried, Informed About H1N1
Most Americans are confident in the government's ability to deal with the swine flue, less trust the media to accurately report on it.
International Stories Don't Register
While health care is the public's top story, as many heard about Brett Farve as protesters bringing guns to town halls. Most heard news about the availability of swine flu vaccines.
Death Panels Live On With Fox Viewers
Regular viewers of Fox News Channel are far more likely than viewers of other cable news channels and nightly network news to say claims of death panels are true.
Americans Hear Improvement in Tone of Economic News
Americans are hearing better news coverage about financial markets, real estate and prices. Also, as the health care debate tops interest, town hall protests register widely, with a majority calling the behavior appropriate.
Many Fault Media Coverage of Health Care Debate
As the fight in Washington over health care reform continues to dominate public attention and media coverage, most Americans are critical of the way news organizations are explaining key elements of the debate.

Conveniently located just of the bustling Wangfujing shopping district, Waldorf's second foray into China is a sleek addition to Beijing's luxury hotel scene. The interior is designed with local influence in mind. The embroidered silk-panelled walls and black, lacquered door frames are nicely complimented by contemporary Chinese art in the public spaces. In the rooms there has been a departure from the usual Waldorf white. Instead, there is a selection of soft colour schemes ranging from teal to persimmon. With four restaurants offering local and international dishes guests have plenty of choice when getting back after a shopping spree or trip to one of the many cultural sites nearby.

Chennai, Sep 25 (UNI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi today said the government would ask the prison Advisory Board to reconsider the pleas of Nalini and two other life convicts in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case for premature release and submit its recommendations to the government.
A day after the Madras High Court asked the Prison Advisory Board to reconsider the pleas of Nalini, S Jayakumar and Robert Pyas, seeking premature release, stating that they had already spent 17 years in prison, Mr Karunanidhi cleared the decks for further proceedings.
As the High court had not set any deadline for the Board to meet and reconsider the pleas of the convicts, there was uncertainty whether the governmnt would implement the High Court order or prefer to go on an appeal.
However, Mr Karunanidhi, without giving room for any ambiguity, made it clear that the Board would be asked to meet again, consider the pleas of the three convicts and submit its recommendations.
Based on the recommendations, the government would take steps as per law and rules on the question of ordering the premature release of the trio, Mr Karunanidhi said, answering a set of questions.
He said as per the prison rules, the Advisory Board, comprising District Judge, District Collector, Prison Superintendent, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Zonal Conduct Officer and two non official members, would hear pleas from convicts like Nalini, who had completed 14 years of imprisonment and send reports to the government.
Since the High Court had held that the Advisory Board was not validly convened (when it heard the pleas of Nalini and others), the Chief Minister said the Board would meet again as directed by the court.
The High Court while disposing of the petitions filed by Nalini and two others, had said that the Advisory Board reconsider the pleas of Nalini and others for the government to decide whether the convicts should be given the benefit of premature release or not.

|Ant - DesirableFilter
|Fri, 03 Dec 1999 02:15:06 GMT
Greetings - I have brought the latest Ant code down and I'm trying to incorporate it into our build structure. Unfortunately, our current code structure has directories with both .java files and .class files together. As I'm working with Ant, I definitely want to only copy the .java files when I'm doing a build. I have written a JavaFileFilter which extends the DesirableFilter class. My question is whether anyone has suggestions on how to implement this class. Obviously, I could just change my local src but I think it would be better to try and incorporate it into the overall design. If there are any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. thanks, josh

Bus Network Changes
From March 2017, light rail construction will mean bus route diversions in the South East and the removal of stops on High Street, Randwick. In Sydney CBD, priority routes now operate along Elizabeth, Castlereagh, Park, Druitt, Clarence and York streets. Buses no longer operate along George Street.
bus changes in the south east
From Friday 31 March 2017 light rail construction will mean bus route diversions in the South East and the removal of stops on High Street.
Routes 348, 370, 400, 410, 418, 891 and M50 will use diverted routes and have new stopping arrangements - see our fact sheet for more details. There will be changed access to UNSW and the Randwick health precinct, so make sure to plan ahead and allow extra travel time.
More bus changes will be required in the area as construction continues, look for pink signs at stops or visit transportnsw.info for the latest information.
Temporary bus changes over Easter
Some temporary bus service changes will be in place during the Easter holiday period, allowing for installation of light rail tracks at the intersection of Anzac Parade and High Street. For more information, see our news story.
In October 2015 a new Sydney CBD bus network was introduced with new priority routes along Elizabeth, Castlereagh, Park, Druitt, Clarence and York streets. As part of these changes, and to coincide with major construction of the new light rail, buses stopped using George Street. The new network will ultimately reduce the number of buses caught in peak hour traffic and make it easier to move through the city. The full benefits of the changes will be felt when light rail starts. To plan your trip, go to Transport Info

I really don't know how I'm going to take it. How have you folks coped?

THE MAN ON THE MOOR "Woe for the doom of a dark soul . . . . "--SOPHOCLES.
"The desert groweth. Who unto him who containeth deserts."--NIETZSCHE.
On the mainland of Ardnamurchan there is a house by the shore, built of grey stones, against which the yellow flags and gallingale run up like surf, and behind which a long slope of bracken looks like the green sea beyond rocks when the wind is heavy on it, though with no more to see than a myriad wrinkling. There is no other house near, nor boat on the shore; and I saw or heard never a sheep, but the few thin beasts of Anndra MacCaskill browsing the salt grass by the long, broken, wandering dune where the rocks lie in a heavy jumble. It is a desolate place. I saw no birds in all the bramble, never a finch in the undershaws, nor shilfa in the tansy-wastes. Even on the shore the white wings of the gulls and terns were not catching the light: I saw nothing but three birds, a dotterel flying and wailing, a scart black-green on a weedy rock, and a grey skua hawking the sighing suck of the ebb. The light was that of storm, though the twilight was already gathering in every corrie and hollow: and in October the day falls soon. The sea south was a dark, tossing waste, with long, irregular dykes of foam that ran and merged when you looked at them, but were like broken walls on fields of black rye when you saw them only through the side of the eyes. South-west and west long splashes of red flame, ruddied the wild sea and brought the black to blue. It was not this year, nor last, nor the year before, that I heard that of which I now write: but I remember it all as though it were of yesterday. A bit of loneroid, gale or bog-myrtle as it is called in the south, wet, with the light green and the dark green on the same stem, will often, in a moment, bring Tighnaclachan before me, so that I see just that desolate shore and no other shore, and hear the scattered lamenting of the few sheep yonder, and see that scart on the weedy rock plucking at its black-green feathers, or that grey skua with its melancholy cry hawking the sighing shallows of the ebb beyond the ledges, to this side of the house itself, half windowless yet it may be, and with the byre-doors open and falling back and rotting.
It was a matter of no moment that took me there: partly to meet one coming another way, partly to see Dionaid Maclure, a frail old woman who kept the place for Neil McNeil, her brother. I had walked some three miles, and was tired; not with the distance, but with a something in the wind, and perhaps from the singular gloom of the place at that hour in that grey loneliness, caught between deserted landsand a sea never quiet, an angry troubled waste, perpetually lamenting, continually shaken with fierce wraths.
As I came close to Tighnaclachan, I saw no smoke above the boulder-held thatch. The ragged pony I had seen there before was not in the airidh beyond. It was with relief I heard the clucking of a hen somewhere. The only other living thing I saw was a magpie by a pool of rain-water, stalking with sharp cries of anger its own restless image.
Yet it was here that, before I heard the tale Neil McNeil told me, I heard words from old Janet which put a beauty into that lonely unhomely place or me, then and for always. I forget what led to the beauty in the old heart, and stirred it: but I remember the shape it took on the old lips. She had given me tea, and we had sat awhile in the brown dusk by the comforting red glow of the peats, and then I told her something, I forget what--perhaps of some one we knew, perhaps a bit of a tale, or a song maybe, likely the sigh of a ballad or song--when she leaned to me. and said, "It's a blessing they are, a healing and a blessing: ay, so they are, the moonlight and the dew. When we're young, summer's sweet wi' them: when we're old, they're in the heart still. It's the song left, the memory o' the song, a sweet air, when the bird's flown for aye. Ay, my dlear, an' there's more than that to be said. God made the sun an' the day: the Holy Spirit, the night an' the stars; but Christ made the moonlight an' the dew."
She was tender and sweet, old Dionaid: fair in life and fair in death. Strange that the beauty of a single thought can thenceforth clothe the desolation in loveliness, and change the grey air and the grey sea and the grey face of a seared land into a sanctuary of peace, as though unknown birds builded there, doves of the spirit. I remember, once, on the waste of Subasio behind Assisi, that some one near me said the barrenness was terrible, more lifeless and sad than any other solitude. To me, at that moment, as it happened, this was not so: the hill glowed with the divine light, that came, not from the east welling it or the west gathering it, but from the immortal life of the heart of St. Francis--and a storm of white doves rose with flashing wings, so that I was dazzled: and only when I saw that they were not there did I know I had seen the prayers and joys of a multitude of hearts, children of him to whom the wind was "brother" and the grass "sister."
But now I must go back to that of which I meant to write. I have given the lonely setting of the place where, when we came in at dayfall for the porridge, Neil McNeil--a tired man, tall, gaunt, grey-black, with cold blue eyes like the solander's--told me of the man McRoban, or MacRobany.
There is no need to tell of what kept me there till long after dark was come, with the flowing tide making so heavy a noise among the loose rock that at times our words sounded hollow and far away: nor of all that we three, waiting there, talked nor what dreams and thoughts came into that flame-lit dark room in the desolate house by the sea. When Neil spoke once, unquestioned, it was after a long silence, when we were unconsciously listening to the loud tick-tack, tick-tack of the great wall clock as though we were eager almost to a strained anxiety to hear urgent tidings, some news expected or feared, or halfguessed, coming mysteriously, on quivering lips: with a foreign sound, broken, meshed in obscurity--hearing at the same time the gathering clamour in the sea's voice, the hoarse scroach-an-scroach of the flung surge on the dragged reluctant beach, and the loud demanding cry of the wind behind the confused and trampling noise of the tide, that by the sound was in the house itself and away inland.
"I can't tell you much about what you asked," he began slowly, "There isn't much to tell. You've been in or near that place away in the Italian country, and may know more than I know. It was this way, then, since I must tell you the little I know. You thought, that day we talked about it, the name was MacCroban. But I'm not knowing if there's any such name: any way it is not the man's name, the man I'm thinking of, the man I have in my mind. His name was MacRóban, or MacRóbany."
"Was ?"
Tick-tack . . . tick-tack . . . and the loud anger of the sea at the door. I was glad when Neil went on.
"He had no home. I met him a long way inland--on the Moss of Achnacree, beyond Morven, across the Sound of Lorne. It was at the edge o' dark, and he was lying with his head on a stone. I stooped and spoke to him. 'Poor man, have you the heavy sickness on you?' I asked, and again in the English, when he did not answer.
"'It is dying you are,' I said. 'I fear, poor man, it is near death you will be if you lie there.'
"'I will give you all things,' he said in a thin voice, weary as a three-day wind in the east: 'Ay, I will give you secrets and all things, if you will give me death.'
"'And for why that?' I asked.
"'I die like this every night,' he said, 'and there are three of us. I am not knowing where my two brothers will be, in what land, west or east: my brother John, and my brother Raphael. But they, too, are like this, like what I am, like what you see me here. They have their heads on stones, in a waste place. They call upon death. if a man stoops as you do, over John, my brother, he will say what I say--"I will give you all, I will give you all secrets, I will give you knowledge and power, if you will give me one thing, if you will give me death." And if any man stoops over Raphael, my brother, he will say that also--that John our brother would say, and that I say.'
"At that I thought the poor man had the black trouble.
"'No.' he said, as though he knew my thought. 'It is not madness I have, but old, old weariness.'
"'And what will your name be? I asked.
"'Here I have been, in this country, for seven years, wandering. And hear my name, by some chance of change, is MacRoban, or MacRobany. And that is no ill change, for it means son of Robani or Robany, and that is what I am. But no,' he added, 'it is not the name you have now in your mind. It is an older name than that. It is a name that has the sand of the desert on its feet. it is a name written on the weeping wall in the Holy City of Zion.'
"I looked at the man, though the darkness was fast falling through the greyness. I remember a crying of many curlews in that waste place, and the suddenness of snipe drumming in a wet hollow a stone's-throw beyond where two lapwings never stopped wheeling and wailing.
"'And who will you be? I said. My voice was hard, for the cold of a fear was in my bones.
"'My name is Robani,' he said, 'Daniel Robani. I am Daniel Robani, and my brother John is Johannes Robani, and my brother Raphael is Raphael Robani. And there's no weariness like our weariness. And every night we lie down to die, but we never die.'
"Then I knew the poor man was mad, and seeing I could not lift him, I gave him my cloak and hurried on to the clachan of Ledaig beyond the Moss to get help. I saw the minister, a stranger come for a month, but a good man and kind. He came with me. We saw no man. We found my cloak, but no man.
"Next day the minister had me into his room. 'Tell me again what words he spoke,' he said to me. I told him. Then he leaned from his chair, and said to me 'Neil McNeil, you have dreamed a dream or seen a mystery. Best go to your home now, and in silence: ay, go away without a word of this. For I do not know what is dream and what is vision, and what is truth and what is madness. But hear this: In the tenth year of this century we live in, a great vase or jar of marble was found in the excavated ruin of an ancient city in the southlands of Italy, called Aquila--which is to say, Iolair, Eagle--and in that jar was a copper plate. On the one side was engraved in the Hebrew, "A plate like this has gone unto every tribe." On the other side, and also in the Hebrew, was engraved the Death Warrant of Jesus of Nazareth, called Jesus the Christ. Aid of the four witnesses who signed the comdemnation of the Christ the names of three were the names of three brothers, Daniel Robani, and Johannes Robani, and Raphael Robani."' Neil ceased abruptly. The noise of the waves was as a multitude of hands batting the walls of the house: the wail and cry of the wind was like a dreadful Spirit. Before the red glow of the peat-fire we sat silent. Tick-tack, tick-tack : and the calling of the sea, the calling of the sea.

Ervin Petzold, life-long resident of Altus, will celebrate his 100th birthday on March 16. Ervin's children are hosting a celebration from 1 to 5 p.m. at his home on Saturday, March 12. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
Although Ervin was born, raised and has lived on the same property all of his life, his parents were German immigrants. One of his stories is about how his parents insisted that he speak German at home as a child.
He farmed in Jackson County with his dad with horses and mules until changing over to tractors. They also wheat pastured 500 to 600 head of yearlings each year. They had 100 head of bred Charolais cows that they raised.
Ervin and his dad Herman also butchered cattle and swine for this area. They first traveled in a horse drawn wagon selling their custom made beef, sausage and ham.
Ervin married Lillie Bennett in December 1936 in the Lutheran Church at Granite. Later he became an elder in the church. They drove 20 miles one way, crossing the one lane Elm Fork Red River wooden bridge, just to get there. After church they would spend the day playing baseball and softball. Ervin and Lillie were married for 66 years.
Ervin and his sons were the first farmers to begin using Teflan in this area. They ran two tractors 24 hours a day plowing this in for area farmers. They also did custom hay baling, plowing and cutting of grains which included wheat, oats, alfalfa, and mung beans.
Ervin and Lillie had six children: Harvey, David, Jerry, Brenda, Alan and Debra. From oldest to youngest, there is a 22-year age difference in the children.
Aside from farming and ranching, Ervin has served his community and the area for years. He has served on the Friendship and Navajo School Boards, Martha Gin Board and has been active in the Lutheran Church.
After being a member and President of the Friendship School Board for many years, the school burned. He then joined the Friendship-Warren Consolidation Board that formed the consolidated school of Navajo. The school had to be moved half way between the two schools for the consolidation to take place. Ervin was president and member of the Navajo School for many years.
Aside from his board involvement, he was also active in helping with 4-H and FFA which his children were involved in. He even received the FFA Vocational Honorary Chapter Farmer award.
Ervin and his wife Lillie were also class parents at Navajo and Friendship Schools for many years as well as being involved in other school activities.
Ervin is proud to say that along with his six children that he has 15 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
