" Of course you know the story of the woman who heard two men at a hotel table discussing her Very impertinently in German, whereupon she very politely asked one of them for the salt In German. It's a very old story, and sometimes the language is French, and the salt is left out, but the story is the same, and goodness only knows how many writers, from Howells up and from Howells down, have told it with variations. So old it is that when a woman I know began to tell it to me the other day as a personal experience I felt the joy that one feels at meeting anew an old friend. "I was in a car," she began, "and two men sat opposite me. Of course I knew they were talking about me. I'd have known It even if they had been speaking Sanskrit, which they weren't. They were gossiping in German. I stood it as long as I could, and then I dropped my purse. One of the men Instantly picked it up. 'Thank you,' I said in German. My dear, if you could have seen those men's faces! They didn't say another word for six blocks." "But what were they saying about you?" "Oh," said she cheerily, "I haven't an idea. I don't know one word of German but 'Thank you.'" And I wonder if the woman In the story who asks for the salt—well, perhaps her request, too, was what in the vernacular one calls a bluff.—Washington Star. A Marriage Fee. A clergyman of Georgia was once standing in the courthouse when a Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in order to procure a marriage license. The countryman asked "a pair ef licenses," and on making the purchase necessary to being united in the holy bonds of matrimony inquired of the ordinary, "Who can I git to marry me?" The ordinary replied that he could perform the ceremony, or the parson, standing near, would probably accommodate him. The countryman turned to the parson and asked if he would marry him. The parson readily consented and asked the would be bridegroom, "Where's your gal?" He replied, "Out yonder—in the street." The parson said, "Fetch her in." •Then she was "fotch" in and the "knot tied." The bridegroom asked the parson the amount of indebtedness Incurred and was told that no charge was made, but that he always left the matter for the bridegroom to decide. The latter replied: "I've got no money. I've got a load of punklns out yonder. I'll give you a punkin."—Homi-letlc Review. , - t " Some years ago an Irishman named Pat Noonan had a vegetable stand in one of the city markets. Pat was a chronic kicker. One day he was complaining to the superintendent of the market that the rent of his stall was altogether too high, and after giving various reasons why it should be materially reduced, he wound up by solemnly declaring that he was losing at least $1,000 a year. "Well, Pat, if that's the case," said the superintendent dryly, "I'd advise you to sell out and quit the business at once. You certainly can't afford to keep on if you are running behind $1,- 000 a year." "Sure, an I know it," said Bat philosophically. "The business is ruinin me Intirely, but I moight ez well sthlck to it now that I'm at it. I've got to do somethin to make a livln, an If I quit sellln cabbages an praties an start at some other thrade I moight be afther losin more yet, I dunno." The superintendent concluded to lower Mr. Noonan's rent and allow Mm to remain in the vegetable business.— New York World. No Wonder It Pained. A tender hearted old woman noticed a horse with a broad rubber band stretched around its leg just above th«s hoof. She asked the waiting driver of the cab why It was there and suggested that it was more than cruel to place It on the animal. "Yes, mum," replied the cabby, "it's painful to the horse, no doubt, but that is not the worst of. it. It's the getting of it on that pains the poor thing. Why, we had to stretch the band and pull it over the horse's head and down all his body to get it on." "For the land's sake alive!" exclaimed the woman and walked away horrified.— Chicago Inter Ocean.

BROKE THE I BLOCKADE. v 0 0 0 0 0 0 Which Goes to Show That the Spaniard Will Still Be Behind the Times In the Coming Cen-tnrj. § 0 Lieutenant Jose Baquero y Ordonez of the navy of his Catholic majesty of Spain stroked his long white beard and decided on a brilliant and great action. From the decks of his little gunboat he looked once more—"Wha knows," thought he, "but it is for the last time"—on the sleepy cove of Tu-rlguano, that had sheltered his craft so long and well from the prowling Yankee fleet. Then sharp orders were given, and the white, shining ship moved swiftly out of the tiny Cuban harbor and stood for the open sea. On the shore there was strange commotion as she went. It came from Spanish loyalists, who had fed her crew and officers for years and supplied the vessel with material, and their emotion was vivid, for Lieutenant Jose Baquero y Ordonez of the navy of his majesty of Spain had omitted the formality of paying the bills. . Lieutenant Ordonez had things more weighty than mere bills to consider. After long reflection he had decided on a stroke that would end an imperishable glory for him and his—or annihilation. He had decided to run the fierce; blockade and enter Havana; to force his way through the enormous steel fleet of the enemy, to defy battleships and torpedo boats and cruisers and to do a deed that would re-echo In Spain. He did not aspire to the empty gloiy of sinking a Yankee ship, and, Incidentally, being-sunk himself. The Lieutenant Ordonez would have dared that* too, .for it wouW. haye beea.ji rous thing to do, and he lived for chivv airy. But that ripe reflection to which he had become a prey taught him; that, If we were sunk, the Yankee pigs never would give credit to him and his _ crew for their glorious blow for SpanT ish arms. And, then, where would be all the good effect of his enterprise, as far as the fame of Spain was concerned? No! The Lieutenant Ordonez saw clearly that he could nerve the Spanish arm and force the world's acclaim for the valor of his land best by entering Havana and flashing the news around the globe that a Spanish warship had broken the boasted blockade. "On, then, my brave ones!" cried he. "Fear not! Honor and cigarettes and senoras' smiles await us! And if you see a Yankee pig boat, do not hesitate to let me know In ample season." He looked enthusiastically on his crew, a crew any commander might be proud to have—all old, white haired men, who had served in the Spanish navy for many, many years. Intrepidity that was the inheritance of the Lieutenant Ordonez did not interfere with his sound judgment. Carefully, though bravely, he steered along the coast, and at every sign of smoke or sail on the horizon he felt his re-' sponsibllity for the care of his ship and men keenly enough to suppress his natural desire for battle and to lie hidden in a snug harbor till night made it safe to venture on again. And so making port wherever a deserted bayou or bay was to be found, the little gunboat San Jago worked her way along the north coast of Cuba night after night, giving a wide berth to harbors like Sagua la Grande and Cardenas, where the enemy might be in force, till at last, on the midnight^ of the seventh day after venturing out of their port, the brave Spaulac^ crept In sight of their goaL . •*^'1)1 Now there was intense excitement on the little ship. The men lay down by their guns and .whispered what they had to say to each other. The' officers crowded together and strained their eyes through the gloom for the dusky shapes of the American ships that must be within a few Miles at the most. And softly the engines worked and every moment the coast loomed more plainly. Still there was no sign of foeman. No pencil of wavering, groping light was to be seen anywhere on the rolling sea to betray an American ship with her prying searchlight. It seemed almost too good to be true,, and the Lieutenant Ordonez and his men began to suspect a trap. They , redoubled their watchfulness, and more than 4>ne sailor muttered a hur-. ried prayer In wise prevision for a possible emergency when he might not have time to commend hiB sonl to. his patron saint But still there was no sign orim enem^#<iii^^ the .ship opened up the entrance to Havana harbor without having, met i single obstacle. 1 *":?&' }< The& an involuntary sttfprlse c&me frdm the watcbta?

Then the Lieutenant Ordonez raised his voice and shouted: "Victory! Victory! Behold! This it is Why there Is no blockade! The Yankee jftgs haV?S*been wiped from the sea that they so polluted! Joy! Joy! It Is a glorious day for Spanish arms!" i. Loudly the crew cheered at the Words, and the gunboat San-Jago sped by the dark and silent Morro and up the bay. Quickly the gig was lowered, afiid the lieutenant with his officers Went ashore with feverish impatience to learn the news. At the pier a-great crowd stood, as if awaiting them. But when the seamen landed there were no cheers as they had expected. Instead, they found themselves regarded curiously, and there was considerable jostling and some laughter. ; -Angrily the lieutenant turned to a Whittled to a l'oint. The ventilation of a theory makes some people hot. Publishers of dictionaries should have them spell-bound. Summer brings leaves of absence and winter brings absence of leaves. A lumber dealer may be in his office and out of doors simultaneously. Perhaps some wealthy men are chronio kickers because they are well heeled.

Him he asked in Spanish for the latest news, but the fellow only stared. |fhe lieutenant repeated his request peremptorily, and still there was no answer. /But the official turned to one of the bystanders and beckoned to him. He approached and in turn stared and shbok his head. Others came and listened to the question which the lieutenant was repeat-lrii:, but each looked as nonplused as the rest. finally an old, old man appeared and nodded understanding^. Turning to th^ rest, he said in English: "This old ja|r is jabbering Spanish—you. know, t% language that they used to speak luffe 'way back.

I s'pose, Bill," he continued, turning to the stout man in the blue uniform, "that you'll have to tear yourself away from this Fourth of July celebration of ours and take this poor old duck to the police station. He's dead nutty." Hang It!" said Bill, and strolled over to the Lieutenant Ordonez. He laid his hand on his shoulder and began to pull him along. The naval officer straightened up and struck the stoujt maa full in the face. The assaulted person roared and gripped the lieutenant by the collar and the crowd caught him, by legs and arms and helped the procession along. In a few minutes he was deposited ungracefully, though not i altogether unkindly, in a police station, where a red faced man with a rich Irish brogue demanded his pedigree. That was a matter of some difficulty, for the lieutenant was quite beyond himself with rage and no one else could tell much about the prisoner. But finally the sergeant had gathered enough material to make his record on the blotter: July 4, 1950—Prisoner, male; real name unknown; assumed name, Lieutenant Jose Baquero y Ordonez; charge, insanity. ; \ And the Lieutenant Ordonez was hustled rudely into a cell. He had waited in the snug port of Turlguano 'too long.—New York Press. ;. Nature lias arranged things so that a poor man is able to display as many virtues as a millionaire. It's useless to extract a promise by force unless you are prepared to continue the pressure of compulsion indefinitely.

Rush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Providence, R. I. He says: "For several years I have been almost a constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction." For sale by Geo. R. Steele, this village, E. C. Allen, Hazardville. and A. L.

One month inside USA's Big Brother House, and the house guests are already showing their true colors:
Dick, who prides himself with telling things as it is, is becoming rude and obnoxious. In our own (Pinoy) Big Brother version, Dick is playing the "magpakatotoo" card the way Wendy did, offending a lot of the folks inside the house, each time he opens his mouth. It seems he fought with most of the women already.
Dustin is one greedy biatch. He took $5,000 and also won a trip to Barbados in the Veto competition, without realizing that this will throw off his game completely. With this move by Dustin, he becomes a potential target next nomination round.
Amber is disappointed in Dustin and cried about it. Amber cries on every episode. Amber cries a looooooot. She even cried when Jameka said she loves the Lord. (Loving the Lord is not funny. Crying about someone who casually says she loves the Lord, is!).
Apparently, Jameka is in alliance with a gangster. And his name is God. Jameka says God is a gangster. (I did not get what she meant by that!). She says she will save Jen from the nomination block since it was her name Jen picked to play for her in the Veto Competition. She takes that as a sign from God.
Jen is playing the "dumb chick" card. And it's clear to viewers now, that she is not. Her best friend was interviewed in the show. Best friend says, Jen is a straight A student with a double major in college. Whoa. Dick is constantly ticked off by her. I on the other hand, am more inclined to root for her now because she keeps the house really interesting.
After one month, there is still no one in the house who suspects Eric is in cahoots with the American viewers. He's pretty good as masking this strategy. America is loving him I think, because he almost always completes the task they let him do.
Jessica hasn't rub people the wrong way yet. She's playing a different strategy by "going with the flow". Plenty of people have surfed through winning a reality tv contest by doing exactly this. She and Eric are getting tight.
No one is liking Zack in the house. Because he's "hard to live with" they all say.

Lucasey, 1917 Clement Ave., Alameda, Calif. Filed Jan. 22, 1965, Ser. No. 427,286 8 Claims. (Cl. 248278) This invention relates to means for mounting television receivers and the like in motel rooms, hotel rooms, etc., and is more particularly directed to a mounting arrangement for this purpose which is designed to discourage, if not prevent, the surreptitious removal of the television receiver or other appliance from its surroundings.
Numerous motels, hotels, and the like have television sets, etc., installed in the rooms thereof for the entertainment of the residents. Typically, the television sets are mounted upon a wall or table by means of brackets secured thereto with bolts, screws, or equivalent fasteners. These fasteners may be readily removed with the aid of ordinary tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, etc. As a result, it is a relatively easy matter to remove the set from its mounting and depart the premises with the set undetected. By virtue of the foregoing, the surreptitious removal and pilfering of television sets from such as motel and hotel rooms has become widespread.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a mounting arrangement for television receivers and the like which is designed to discourage or prevent the unauthorized or surreptitious removal of the receiver from its mounting.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a mounting assembly for television sets and the like arranged for permanent irrernovable attachment to a wall, table, etc., and having a support plate for connection to the set by normally inaccessible fasteners which are rendered accessible upon removal of the plate by actuation of a lock mechanism serving to secure the plate in the assembly.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a mounting assembly of the class described which by virtue of the lock mechanism secured support plate facilitates authorized removal of the set for purposes of repair, and the like.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a mounting assembly of the class described arranged to facilitate the interchangeable mounting of substantially any television set thereon.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a mounting assembly of the class described wherein the support plate is swivelable about orthogonally related axes.
The invention possesses other objects and features of advantage, some of which, with the foregoing, will be set forth in the following description of the preferred form of the invention which is illustrated in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to be understood, however, that variations in the showing made by the said drawings and description may be adopted within the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
FIGURE 1 is a side elevational view of a mounting assembly in accordance with the invention.
FIGURE 2 is a plan view of the assembly.
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken at line 33 of FIGURE 2, illustrating particularly details of a support plate locking mechanism of the assembly.
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view of the assembly taken at line 44 of FIGURE 3, illustrating particularly the manner in which the fasteners for securing a television set to the support plate of the assembly are rendered inaccessible.
3,291,432 Patented Dec. 13, 1966 FIGURE 5 is a sectional view taken at line 55 of FIGURE 2, illustrating particularly a support plate pivot arrangement of the assembly.
FIGURE 6 is a sectional view taken at line 6-6 of FIGURE 3, illustrating further details of the support plate locking mechanism.
FIGURE 7 is a side elevati-onal view of a modified form of mounting assembly adapted for securance to a table or other horizontal surface.
Referring now to the drawings, a mounting assembly 11, in accordance with the present invention will be seen to include a bracket 12, or equivalent mounting means, adapted for attachment to a wall 13 or the like. The bracket preferably comprises a mounting plate 14 having an arm 16 projecting right angularly therefrom, the plate having apertures 17 for the reception of fasteners 18 for securing the bracket to the wall 13. The fasteners 18 are of the one way variety which are arranged to be manipulated by a tool in a direction to screw, or otherwise secure, the fastener in the wall, but cannot be manipulated in the opposite direction. Hence once the bracket is secured to the wall by the fasteners 18, the installation is permanent in that the fasteners cannot be removed to release the bracket.
Secured to the free end of the bracket arm 16, there is preferably provided a pivot arm 19 arranged in a manner subsequently described for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis transverse to the bracket arm between positions inclined relative thereto and a locked position in alignment therewith, or in downwardly inclined relation thereto. The free end of the pivot arm is formed with an upstanding boss 21 having a tapered recess defining a pivot socket 22 for facilitating movement of a support plate 23 about a vertical axis. The support plate is adapted for the attachment of a television set 24, or the like, thereto. More particularly, the support plate is preferably of elongated rectangular cupped configuration including a flat rectangular upper end wall 26 with a marginal side wall 27 depending therefrom. The end wall of the support plate has a plurality of slots 28 formed therein for traversal by bolts 29, or equivalent fasteners, at a plurality of selectable positions to accommodate taps 31, or the like, existing or subsequently formed in the base of the television set. In this regard, the bolts may be inserted through the slots 28 and manipulated within the limits of the slots to positions or registration with the taps 31. The bolts are screwed into the taps to positions wherein the heads of the bolts engage the end wall 26 of the plate on opposite sides of the slots 28 and firmly secure the television set thereto.
As a particularly important feature of the invention, the support plate 23 is arranged in such a manner that unauthorized or surreptitious removal of the set from the plate, and of the plate from the pivot arm 19 is discouraged, if not prevented. Yet authorized removal of the set is permitted in order that same may be repaired or replaced. To these ends the bolts 29 must be normally inaccessible and the support plate secured to the pivot arm in a normally unremovable manner. More particularly, the plate is provided with a centrally depending tapered boss 32 for rotary engagement with the socket 22 of the pivot arm 19. A yieldable normally bowed rectangular cover 33 is adapted to be received within the inner recess of the plate marginally defined by the side wall 27, in covering relation to the heads of the bolts 29, to thereby render the bolts inaccessible. The opposite ends of the side wall are formed with inwardly directed flanges or lips 34 for retentatively engaging the opposite ends of the cover, which may be readily manipulated into position by virtue of its yieldability. The cover is provided with a central aperture 36 for traversal by the boss 32, the boss 21 of the pivot arm 19 engaging the cover about the aperture 36 and urging the normally bowed cover inwardly into engagement with the end wall 26 of the support plate 23, when the boss 32 is fully engaged in the socket 22, as best shown in FIGURE 3. Retention of the boss 32 in engaged position within the socket may be facilitated as by means of a bolt 37 extending through the base of the socket and threadably engaging the boss. It will be appreciated that the support plate could be readily removed from the pivot arm, and the cover withdrawn from the support plate to expose the bolts 29, if the bolt 37 were the only means employed to retain the parts in assembled relation. However, in addition to bolt 37, locking means 38 are provided to normally retain the boss 32 of the support plate in fully engaged position in the socket 22 of the pivot arm, the pivot arm boss 21 at this time retaining the cover in engagement the end wall of the support plate. The locking means 38 may be manipulated by an authorized individual with the aid of a key, for example, to selectively facilitate disassembly of the components.
Considering now the locking means 38 in more detail, same will be seen to include a cylindrical turret 39 having an externally threaded stud 41 projecting from one end thereof. The turret 39 is disposed within a bore 42 extending through an car 43 depending from the front portion of the support plate side wall 27. The stud 41 in turn traverses a circumferential slot 44 extending through the boss 21 into the socket 22, and threadably engages a tap 46 provided in the boss 32. The stud is movable within the limits of the slot 44 such that limited pivotal movement of the support plate about a vertical axis relative to the pivot arm 19 is permitted. Upon rotation of the turret 39 within the bore 42, the stud 41 may be threadedly engaged with, or disengaged from the tap 46 to thus facilitate assembly or disassembly of the associated components. Unauthorized rotation of the turret 39 is prevented by tumblers 47 which normally project radially from the turret, and which are retractable in the usual manner in response to insertion of a key into a key slot 48 provided in the turret. The tumblers 47 are normally disposed in keyways 49 extending longitudinally of the wall of bore 42 and defined circumferentially between radially inwardly projecting stops 51. Thus when the key is withdrawn from the key slot 48, the tumblers move into radially extended positions within the keyways 49 and are engageable with stops to prevent rotation of the turret. Upon insertion of the key, the tumblers are retracted and the turret may hence be rotated to disengage the stud 41 from the tap 46. Upon removal of bolt 37, the support plate boss 32 may be withdrawn from the pivot arm socket 22, thereby freeing the support plate. The cover 33 may be now removed to expose the bolts 29 for removal from the television set 24. In this manner, authorized removal of the television set for servicing, or the like, is facilitated. Of course, without the key the television set cannot be removed surreptitiously.
As an important adjunct of the invention, and as previously noted, the swivel connection between the bracket arm 16 and pivot arm 19 is arranged to permit pivotal movement of the swivel arm, and therefore the television set support plate 23 about a horizontal axis between positions inclined relative to the bracket arm and a locked position aligned therewith, or if desired, downwardly inclined therefrom. To this end, the bracket arm 16 is preferably provided with a cylindrical pivot journal 52 projecting laterally from its free end and terminating in an externally threaded outer portion 53 for threaded engagement with a nut 54, as best shown in FIGURE 5. In addition, the bracket arm is formed with a helical cam surface 56 projecting laterally therefrom and extending substantially 180 about journal 52 in concentric outwardly spaced relation thereto on the opposite side thereof from the free end of the bracket arm. The cam surface 56 merges into the side Wall of the bracket arm adjacent its lower edge and helically increases to a maximum lateral extent adjacent the upper edge of the arm. The pivot arm 19 is in turn provided with an upstanding ear 57 at the opposite end thereof from boss 21, and such ear has a bore 58 therethrough for concentrically rotatably receiving the journal 52. One side face of the ear 57 is provided with a helical surface 59 substantially complementary to the cam surface 56. Adjacent the lower portion of the surface 59 and extending vertically of the side face of the pivot arm there is provided a protuberance of preferably semi-circular cross section defining a follower 61. With the journal 52 disposed within the bore 58, the surface 59 facing the cam surface 56, and the nut 54 tightened upon threaded portion 53 against the pivot arm 19, it will be appreciated that any tendency of the pivot arm to pivot downwardly from a position aligned with the bracket arm 16 is prevented by the follower 61 moving up the cam surface 56 and engaging same in a tighter and tighter wedge fit. Of course the pivot arm may be pivoted upwardly relative to the bracket arm, the follower being disengaged from the cam surface during such movement. In addition, the pivot arm may be locked in a variety of downwardly inclined positions upon loosening the nut 54 to in turn vary the angular position at which the follower tightly binds with the cam surface. Disassembly of the pivot arm from the bracket arm is prevented by peening, or otherwise deforming the threaded portion 53 adjacent its outer end as indicated at 62.
Although the invention has been described hereinbefore with particular reference to wall bracket mounting means, it will be appreciated that other means may be alternatively employed to facilitate mounting of the television set upon, for example, a horizontal surface such as a table top. In this regard, the mounting assembly may be modified as indicated in FIGURE 7 wherein the bracket 12 and pivot arm 19 are replaced by pedestal mounting means 66 adapted for securance to a table top 67 or other horizontal surface. The mounting means includes a base plate 68 having a cylindrical pedestal or boss 69 projecting vertically upward therefrom. The base plate is formed with apertures 71 through which one way fasteners 72, equivalent to the previously mentioned fasteners 18, extend into securance with the table top 67. The mounting means is thus permanently secured to the table top, since the fast eners 72 cannot be removed. The boss 69 is provided with a tapered socket 73 for receiving the boss 32 of the support plate. The boss 69 is provided with a circumferential slot extending into the socket 73, the boss 69 and socket 73 being thu equivalent to the boss 21 and socket 22 of the previously described embodiment. In further respects the mounting arrangement is identical to that previously described, the stud 41 of turret 39 extending through the slot of boss 69 and engaging the tap 46 of the support plate boss 32 to retain the components in assembled relationship.

RV Winter: Tips to Prep Your Rv for Winterizing
Winter RV Tips: How To Winterize Your RV PT 1
With winter just around the corner, it's time to think about putting your RV into safe storage for the long cold months ahead. Especially if it will not be used. Fall is also the time of year you need to decide if your camping season is over. Parking your RV for the winter requires some preventive measures so it will be ready to use next spring. You'll also be glad you did it when you don't have costly repair bills due to the damaging results of winter. Now the question is how do you prepare it for winter, and who will be doing it?
You may be thinking "Should I take my RV back to the dealer to have it winterized?" Or is this something I can do myself?
For those intimidated by the prospect of winterizing their RV, we've compiled a few key recommendations you should add to your personal to-do lists in the coming weeks.
Engine Care
Caring for your engine is a no brainer. Make sure your radiator has anti-freeze and while you're at it make sure the oil, brake fluid, and windshield wiper fluid levels are topped up. A fuel stabilizer that is run through your engine for a few minutes prior to winter will also be beneficial.
TIP #1 RV Generator
If your RV is equipped with a generator you need to drain it of fuel.Left for months, fuel can turn to lacquer that will plug the jets in the carburetor. Next spring, getting it to start might require a sizable repair bill if you don't allow it to run out of gas before putting it in storage.Your RV generator may not have a fuel shut-off valve installed from the factory, but installing one is well worth the effort. With the generator running, shut off the fuel valve and allow the generator to run until it quits from lack of fuel.
Be sure to push the kill switch after it stops running — because, the electric fuel pump continues to run as long as the run button is in the ON position.
Tip #2 RV Battery
RV trailers may only have one battery, while motorhomes may have 3 or 4. For a single battery, you should disconnect and remove it to be stored in a warm environment. Make sure the water level is sufficient and that the battery is fully charged, then put it in a safe place. Make sure it's not sitting directly on a concrete floor — because that will allow the battery to slowly drain. If the garage floor is where you plan to keep it, put it on a piece of plywood.
If your motorhome is equipped with multiple batteries and a battery disconnect system, you can prepare your batteries as stated and turn off the disconnect. Installing a solar trickle charge system will help keep your batteries fully charged if the unit is parked outside. Simply set it on the dashboard where sunlight can get to it, and plug it into the cigarette lighter.
Don't forget to remove small batteries too — because they can freeze, leak, and become destroyed. Remove the batteries from TV remotes, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and don't forget the clock on the wall.
Hibernation Home
The place you store your RV over the winter is important. For those with smaller Class B and Class C motor homes, you may be lucky enough to squeeze the vehicle into your home garage. Another option is outdoor storage canopies so you can house your RV on your driveway(make sure the cover you buy is breathable in order to prevent mildew). There are a number of professional service lots or campgrounds that also offer storage facilities.
For some, due to zoning restrictions or lack of space, renting space in a storage lot is their only option. Be aware that storage facilities are not held liable for any damage to your RV for any reason. You must maintain comprehensive or storage insurance if you expect to be reimbursed in the event of vandalism, theft, fire, or any other calamity that may affect your RV while it's in storage.
The absolute best option is to store your RV fully protected in a heated garage or storage building. For most of us, this isn't an option. Most often, it's a matter of parking the RV where it fits — be it beside the garage or off the side of the driveway. Another choice for parking would be a concrete or blacktop parking pad. Next, would be a well drained dry gravel parking pad. The last choice would be somewhere on the lawn.
Tip #3 RV Covers
Sun and snow are your RV's worst enemies. In addition to protecting your tires with tire covers, if your RV will remain outdoors throughout the winter, it's important to protect the RV itself with a cover as well.
An RV garage or canopy protects your RV investment from sun and weather damage.
As a less expensive alternative an inexpensive, plastic tarp will go a long way in preventing both sun damage and water infiltration from melting snow. This is an expense you definitely want to invest in, the more of your RV you cover, the better.
CAUTION: The bungee cord is the most common way of attaching a plastic tarp over an RV. The metal hooks, though plastic coated, will cause damage if allowed to rest on the finished surfaces of the exterior of your RV. Wind will move them around, and by spring there will be bare metal showing where paint should be. A simple way to avoid this damage is to take strips of old bathroom towels and wrap the hooks — securely tying them in place with string.
Clean is Key
Just as it's nice to return to a clean home after a vacation, it will be much more pleasant if you can open the doors on a tidy RV come the spring. That means you should make sure all food and drinks have been removed from your RV. Even items perceived as non-perishable can freeze and explode in cold enough climates, so you're best to remove those just in case. Once the food is out, give everything a good scrub down. Like all other dirt and grime, messiness gets tougher with time, and your spring self will appreciate your pre-winter cleaning efforts.
Tip #4 Food & Rodents Inside The RV
Remove all food items from your RV. That includes boxed dry goods as well as canned goods. Cans can freeze and split, and dry goods will keep winter rodents fat and happy.
Keeping mice out of your RV can be a real problem. They will chew up fabric or insulation to make nests, and they can damage wiring and other non-food related items as well. Setting a good multiple catch mouse trap will keep your RV secure as four-legged intruders try to make their home inside your RV.
Tip #5 RV Exterior
Over the winter months any dirt, grime, or road chemicals not removed from the exterior of your RV will continue to rust, dissolve, or discolor the finish. This will quickly age your RV and spoil that shiny new look.
In many dusty regions, county highway crews often apply calcium chloride (liquid salt) as a dust control agent on dirt roads. It can create pits and corrosion on aluminum wheels — just like winter road salt does to your car. The best protection is a good wash and wax before you store your RV for the winter.
Tip #6 RV Interior
Sun damage will cause fabrics to become brittle, plastic to yellow, and carpeting to fade inside your RV. To prevent this, lower the shades, cover the windshield and do whatever you can to keep direct sunlight from beaming into your RV.
Monitor Your RV
Check on the RV monthly. Once properly stored, a monthly visual check will prove helpful so you can catch small problems before they turn into big problems. This may include leaks from rain, vents or windows that opened in the wind, or covers that blew off.
If you are storing your RV in extremely cold climates, be sure to talk to an RV service professional, as extra preparations need to be made to protect from freezing temperatures.
For you lucky RVers in areas that don't see a cold season like Arizona or Florida, enjoy your warm winter RVing. And for those of you tucking your motorhome away, check back in the spring for how to properly "de-winterize" your RV!
A Winter Ready RV
Even the best RV "winterizes" should check their rig regularly throughout the winter months. Catching a small problem when it develops is better than discovering a full-blown problem in the spring! The tips in this blog post are general guidelines, and your specific RV owner's manual will include more detailed information for your model.
Remember you can always reach out to one of our La Mesa RV service centers in California, Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico to receive a superior level of customer and RV service. Our passionate staff will help you determine how to best care for your rig in the cold months ahead.

|Re: Embedded Cassandra for Integration testing
|Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:16:47 GMT
Hi Ryan, I have been running some tests locally, and I've been using. http://github.com/rantav/hector If you look at the pom.xml you can get a pretty good idea of the dependencies required to run a cassandra client for version 5. I usually combine it with the maven one jar to create one jar file required for my testing. Note hector has not been upgraded to v6. For version 6, I suspect that we can yank the dependences out the ant/pom.xml file to determine the runtime jars needed.

The official trailer for season two of Hemlock Grove has been released and it looks great! In fact, it looks even better than season one. Will we finally get to see what is really going on in that laboratory? What is the deal with the people wearing the spooky, white masks? Roman's appetite for blood is so large that he is eating leeches off of someone? Peter turned on the wrong moon?! What does all of this mean? This trailer has me, dare I say it, excited for July 11.
Will you be binge watching Hemlock Grove or will you watch it at a "responsible" pace?

Next Jim Totten, General Manager and Vice President, Platform Business Unit, took center stage to go into the details and features of the release. Among the details Totten discussed were the "Facts and Figures" of RHEL 6. Totten pointed out that RHEL 6 is based on the 2.6.32 kernel and will include many features from the 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 kernels.
The RHEL 6 focus will be on optimization for today's I.T. deployments in both scale and security, green I.T. with power management, as well as platform for virtualization and cloud with a host and guest optimization cloud foundation.
During this portion of the press conference, customer and partner videos looked at the benefits RHEL 6 brings to their business. Videos featured testimonials from IBM, Dell, HP, and Partnering with Red Hat videos include: Performance, Reliability, and Scalability; Virtualization and Cloud; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Tim Burke, Vice President of Linux Development, joined Cormier and Totten on stage for the QA portion of the press conference.
More information and details about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 can be found on their website.

India, England sweat on playing XI ahead of 2nd Test
Rohit Sharma said one must not get too excited about the pitch as there were still about 42 hours to go for the match, but the Indian thinktank sure has its task cut out as far as the playing XI is concerned.
Rohit Sharma
Given the performance of the side at Trent Bridge in the first Test, India may go with the same XI. In doing so, they would be ignoring the advice of the likes of Geoffery Boycott and Nasser Hussain who would like to see off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the XI.
Meanwhile, England's predicament centres around left-arm spinner Simon Kerrigan's inclusion in the XI. As much as they would like to have him, they will not be able to discount Moeen Ali's performance. He hit a century against Sri Lanka recently and took four wickets in the first Test.

HIGH above the plains of southern Afghanistan, an old British military bunker now used by Pakistani border guards was on high alert yesterday for an expected influx of thousands of Afghan refugees.
Cpl Yassin Khan, from the 56th Wing of the local Pishin Scouts militia, screwed up his eyes in the bright midday sunlight and with a sweep of his hand pointed out the border on the plain below which is now clogged with Afghans fleeing their homes.
The British military planners, who in 1936 built the first and aptly named Solitude Hut more than 6,000ft up Mount Khojak, clearly knew what they were doing. It affords dramatic views over a vast tract of frontier territory.
"You see down there, a group of trees, that is where the border is," Cpl Khan said peering through binoculars. "Our primary job is border security for Pakistan and now we have been put on high alert."
The reason for the alert was Islamabad's decision to seal its Afghan border. Having agreed to support America in the growing stand-off with the Taliban government, Pakistan fears terrorist reprisals from newly arrived refugees.
Cpl Khan and his deployment of six soldiers have so far not been tested but with their hand-crank field radio and tiny arsenal of Kalashnikov weapons they said they were ready for anything.
Outside the hut there was a scene that would have warmed the heart of any British sergeant major who might have once worked up there. Neatly white-washed stones marked out the gravel track up to the hut and to a car park. There was one slightly more modern addition, as a large white H on a piece of flat ground denoted the helipad.
"The British first built this place and the other bunkers you can see over on the other hills," said Cpl Khan as he pointed out nearby peaks, several of which were marked with large white letters to ease identification. "We patrol across all of these peaks and look out for smugglers or any threat on Pakistan."
While the Pishin Scouts are on military alert, perhaps their most formidable opponent is the environment. Perched so high up in one of the world's driest regions the climate is harsh and unrelenting.
A fierce wind - the Kandahari wind - prevails, bringing dry heat from the southern Afghan city of Kandahar. For water the unit has to rely on a donkey drawing supplies from a well almost a mile away.
Dust storms are a common problem especially in times of drought, which turn the entire region into an amorphous light brown wasteland. Baluchistan is now in its sixth year of drought and the heat even on a late summer day was oppressive.
For three winter months from December, Solitude Hut really lives up to its name as the Khojak pass road is blocked by snow and all movement is on foot. Cpl Khan proudly showed off his most important piece of winter equipment, a cast iron stove and a long chimney in the middle of the hut for burning wood.
The bunker system, however, was not the only thing the British left behind. Beneath Mt Khojak is a twin track railway tunnel completed in the 19th century and still regarded so highly in Pakistan as a feat of engineering that its image adorns the country's five rupee note. More than two miles long, the railway tunnel is still in use and Cpl Khan's unit is also partly responsible for its security.
The original Solitude Hut was added to in the Seventies by the Pakistan government when it built a whitewashed officers' mess for visiting commanders. A guest book in the new building showed that as recently as last month a British officer stopped by at the facility as part of a group of officers from a joint international staff college.

The Saint Theresa Women's Club has meetings on the second Thursday of each month
beginning in September through May.
Next meeting
Nobember 9, 2017
In the Church Office
from 6:00 pm to 7:00 PM
All women of the parish are asked to consider becoming a part of this worthwhile organization. The annual Women's Club Membership Drive is held in November. Dues are $20.00 annually and the money raised provides all supplies for the altar including altar breads, wine, candles, towels and linens.
Members also help with parish activities when called on by the pastor. The Women's Club keeps a current directory which gives them a telephone web to notify members of recent deaths of parishioners and make requests for events The directory also helps to contact members for celebrations and gives quick communication regarding the scheduling of Church functions.
Each week members clean the altar and a number of members volunteer to pick up the linens and towels from the sacristy each week as well as launder, iron and make sure there are ample linens for all the Masses.
Consider joining us in our efforts to support the service of Saint Theresa Church.
Presently, Pat Lero has accepted the role of Sacristan. Her assessment of altar needs gives us direction for needed funds.

My year of hustle
A year ago I started receiving Amy Hoy's Year of Hustle emails. She gives an actionable plan for starting your side business over 12 weeks. Breaking down the steps, roadblocks and mindset changes needed to get it done. I'm a big admirer of her work, I'm sure it helped many people, but I didn't follow her advice. I guess I hadn't hit my fuck this moment. A lot of her work focuses on mindset, and I wasn't ready.
This year I've decided things will be different. Since new year I've been re-reading Year of Hustle, making plans and working on the research she suggests. This post is my first status update, which I'll aim to be making weekly. If you want to follow my progress sign up here. These posts will be as transparent as possible. There'll be a separate list for those interested in my products.
The plan
My plan is textbook Amy. I'd like to transition into products. I currently have a full time job. While I've done consulting / freelance I want to escape the time for money thing. I'd like to jump straight into products, though may reconsider as I progress.
I'm fortunate and could afford a runway of time off. This is attractive, but psychologically I'd find it easier to build up some level of success with product sales before going all in. Amy suggests a target of $10k for her year of hustle, so I've arbitrarily adopted the same target. I've been thinking of this as my escape velocity. If I know I can hit this for a given amount of effort I'll buy back time from regular work to reinvest in the product side.
Near term targets
Amy's plan suggests a total of 96 hours in total. 35 for building the product and the rest for marketing. Sounds about right from my experience.
She doesn't break the 12 weeks down in hours, but that basically means 8 hours per week. Not a lot but daunting when you have a full time job. I don't know how her students with kids have managed! My first goal is to get the basics in place. I'm treating this as a kind of week 0. Next I'll be publishing my 12 week plan, with a detailed description of the tasks for the current week.
So there it is. I know the studies which suggest not sharing public goals, but this felt the most natural way to do things so here we go. I'd love to hear any thoughts / suggestions. Email me or comment below.
I'll shortly be adding an email signup link to the bottom of all my posts, but for now here's that signup link again.

Family members of convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev arrived in Boston this week, and the glaring spotlight has sent the relatives searching for privacy.
Six of Tsarnaev's relatives have relocated from a Hampton Inn in Revere, Massachusetts, to an undisclosed location outside Boston because of the unwanted media attention, Revere Police Chief Joseph Cafarelli told The Boston Herald.
The group, which WCVB reported did not include his parents, had checked into the hotel on Thursday as prosecutors finished presenting why they believe the 21-year-old deserved the death penalty for the attack two years ago that killed three spectators and injured 264 others at the race.
The jury has already convicted Tsarnaev of 30 charges related to the bombing and the separate killing of a police officer, but on Monday the defense will begin trying to convince jurors to sentence him to life without parole.
