Appalachia Through My Eyes - Cleaning Pap's Car
July 29, 2015
The girls' cleaned up Pap's car for his birthday. They said it gave them a very satisfied feeling to gift him something he actually needed instead of something he didn't need nor even want. I said "Yes being useful is a virtue in my book."
The winner of Hanging Dog, An Appalachian Community written by Roy Pipes is...
Henry Horton who said: Hanging Dog was a community i heard of when moving to these mountains was just a dream...now you got my curiosity up...google here i come...looks like Roy Pipes books are worth lookin into.
Henry send me your mailing address and I'll send you the book!
p.s. The Pressley Girls will be playing this Thursday night, July 30th at 7:00 p.m. at the Marianna Black Library in Bryson City NC.

The best gift the girls could give! It is often easy to just go buy something, but to give of yourself, your time and with love, well that is the best gift ever.
Recently a friend came over and vacuumed my house when I could not and that was such a welcome and wonderful gift to me.
That's a extra income for some around here.. One guy has a van with all his cleaning supplies and will come to your home or work place to clean your vehicle.. All he needs is a water faucet.. Good for you Girls, I know Pap appreciated it.. "Virtue" is becoming a lost quality..I'm know Preacher but I could preach a sermon on Virtue..
Think maybe they would come do Mitchell's next? Warning: the may need hazmat suits!
What a wonderful and thoughtful gift the girls gave Pap!
Great job Pressley Girls! Giving of yourself to others is always the perfect gift and the rewards are great!
That's so thoughtful for Chitter
and Chatter to clean-up Pap's car. I know he really appreciated it.
Yesterday I got my phone fixed up
in the holler. Had to call on two
of my buddies and they fixed it in 1 1/2 hours. It had been off for 15 days! Now comes the clean-up mess...Ken
To give of yourself and your time and effort is God's way of giving.

I have a birthday coming up. Do they do trucks?
I just bet your Pap loved this birthday gift more than a "zillion dollar" tie or hat!
Nothing says "I care for and love you" like a sincere act from the heart, a promise "to do" card, or something homemade just for them!
Isn't it wonderful when you open a new car and it has that new car smell! At least for a week or so!
Someone needs to help me capture and bottle up the stuff! We could make "millions" on it, even if we sold it for a dollar a "squirt bottleful" at the carwash!
Loved this post...Great idea girls...I'll run my car over the mountain, it sure could use a good cleaning...
Just kidding...my birthday is in December and purty cold to be washing and cleaning out cars!
Thanks Tipper,
tipper: i just wonder if those youngsters would like to clean up my old mercury? it would require a trip up to tarheel west,Sedro Woolley Wa. but there is always folks heading back east,to get them home. and while they was here, they could give a little concert maybe? regards to all the piggies. k.o.h
Woah...first thing i won since i don't remember when... Thank you and i agree. Nothing like a service some one wants needs or desires for a great present. BTW do you ever do a garden tour? Was blown away by the look o yr. beans. Ever do a gardening workshop at JCCFS? Did not get too much of a veggie garden in this year as was too busy earning my keep with the ornamental gardening here and not much other sunny space for same and what there is is FULL o roots. But am in good shape for fall garden, but could use all the advice; learning from some one who has gardened here lifelong...42 years gardening on Calif. coast and then 16 yrs. in Hawaii...little rusty on real four season gardening... thanks again and really do appreciate all the great posts and info you share...hh
What a great gift! I used to send a special car cleaning gift to my dad for Father's Day each year because I lived too far away to do it myself. However, when I visited in the summer, I would trim the Forsythia bush for him. He wasn't as agile in his later years.
How I wish I could be at the Marianna Black Public Library tomorrow night to listen to the girls. That library is special to me in a whole bunch of ways. Don and I grew up next door to the wonderful woman who founded it and for whom it is named. After she got through the arduous task of raising her brood, Momma served as librarian there from 1960-1970. As a boy I absolutely devoured the books held by the library, exhausting everything dealing with nature and the outdoors by the time I reached high school. Because of that, I am, a few dozen volumes at a time, creating an outdoor, nature, hunting, fishing, and adventure collection at the library which should eventually run to at least a thousand volumes. There are several hundred in the collection already and I urge any of your readers who live in the area to visit the library and delve into them. The current librarian, Jeff Delfield, is a really fine fellow and the musical evenings are of his doing (and he's a dulcimer player in his own right). Tell Chitter and Chatter I'll be there with them in spirit, and i'd like to think that Momma, who was a far better "people person" than any of her offspring, will be smiling down from on high thinking about how grand it is to have young folks, vibrant and full of life and music, performing at the library.
Jim Casada
The best gifts are a gift of self; time, skill or even a store-bought gift tailored to the recipients interests. Becoming a truly good gift-giver is a life-learning experience. And being one is a spiritual gift itself. The girls are on their way. I expect they learned it from some of the folks we read about here. 😊
It took me a long time to learn that for a gift recipient to loan ones gift was a compliment when they did it to share their joy. It also took me a long time to understand that if I could not give something without any strings, I was trying to give too much, over-reaching my own spirit.
In my opinion servitude is a wonderful gift.
Filling closets with unwanted gifts is such a waste but giving your time to do something for someone is a blessing for you and for them. Pap is one blessed grandpa!
Yes, being useful in this world is a high virtue in my book as well. Cleaning a grandparent's car is a very useful thing to do. I should know. I was also a recipient of their car cleaning gift and I was grateful.
The girls sure have the right idea for what makes a gift valuable! Good job! And I'm sure they DID a good job, too :)

She is one of the best teacher I met. She is very hardworking and committed. The best thing is you actually learn in a structured manner. I would highly recommend her as she is the best high school French teacher for french immersion, French AP or French subject test.
Marjorie is a kind, patient, and engaging teacher. She really tailors your lessons to your knowledge level and working speed and makes sure you feel comfortable with the amount of work you are given at all times. Learning from a native speaker is not a luxury that many U.S. students have and it honestly adds another dimension to learning a language. Instead of regurgitating information from a text book like most language teacher's in our high schools or college's do; Marjorie provides many resources and print outs as well as allowing each lesson to develop organically based on the individual. For such an educationally competitive area her prices are incredibly reasonable for the high quality of teaching she provides.
I was very pleased with my first meeting with Marjorie B. . I knew right away that the match was a good fit, and that she can help me speak french better. She is very pleasant and easy to work with.
Marjorie was an excellent tutor. Extremely organized, focused, and engaging. She was able to cater to what I needed to work on. Highly recommended for any level of French!
Marjorie has been tutoring our two sons, ages 11 and 14, for over a year. She arrives well prepared, with a lesson plan and clear objectives. She is intelligent, well organized, reliable and focused. She challenges the kids, but keeps them engaged and interested. She teaches reading, writing, grammar, but really emphasizes practical spoken language. Our kids have made more progress in the last year than all their previous years of French lessons combined. She has a good rapport with the kids. Highly recommended!
Very good tutor. She was able to meet my specialized needs (work on French phonetics and pronunciation) with ease: personable, well-organized and professional. I recommend highly.

Opportunities to meet and speak with employers
Opportunities for students to meet directly with employers on campus should never be taken for granted! In the full employment economy, most organizations do not send representatives to college campuses, even if they do offer internships to students and entry-level employment for new graduates. The employers who do make campus visits are spending significant time, money, and human resources to do so, and they want return on that investment. They want to meet and speak with well-prepared students.
As a student seeking an internship or post-grad job, you don't always have the opportunity for person-to-person contact in the job search process, until the interview stage. To be able to present yourself in person, instead of just being represented by your resume and cover letter, can help your cause! It can be difficult to stand out from the pack with your documents alone. Making a human connection is an opportunity. Don't be intimidated! Do be prepared. Employer representatives are human beings too, and most of them have experience being in your shoes.
You can also take initiative to meet employers who are not visiting campus; one means is the informational interview, in which you are interviewing the individual to gather information to help you make career-related decisions.
Learn about all opportunities to meet employers, understand the purpose of each, and prepare to take advantage of those that match your career interests and qualifications. If you are still exploring, meeting and hearing directly from employers can build your knowledge about career opportunities.
For any job fair or career fair you consider attending:
- Don't just assume you'll show up and wing it!
- Never walk up to a representative and say, "what does your company do?" Do introduce yourself and state why you are interested in that organization. And remember they are not all "companies."
- Do research the details on the fair website and learn about the employers attending and their hiring needs. Know the dress code, and be ready.
- If you don't feel ready to attend a career fair, check into the possibility of volunteering. Most fairs need many student volunteers. Having a purpose at the fair, such as helping employers carry their materials or delivering water to employer booths, can help you experience the environment without pressure, and enable you to see employers as human beings.
More about preparing for job fairs and career fairs.
- The Connection job fairs are held in October and February and are the only fairs that are sponsored by Career and Professional Development.
- We host these events to give opportunities to employers who are interested in students whose academic departments or colleges do not host a fair.
- Additionally, not all employers are able to attend the college- and department-hosted fairs, so some of those employers will attend a Connection fair.
- There is no guarantee that employers will be seeking every major on campus. In many career fields and industries, it is not the practice for employers to attend fairs because they find employees through other methods.
There are up to 15 job fairs and career fairs on the Virginia Tech campus each year. All but two are sponsored by colleges and academic departments, and are focused on employers who hire students in their majors. (The two Connection job fairs are sponsored by Career and Professional Development to give opportunities to employers who seek students whose colleges and departments do not host a fair.)
There are also off-campus fairs that are:
- Career-focused, such as sports industry fairs.
- Population-focused, such as LGBTQ career conference.
- Location-focused, such as the VT alumni chapter-sponsored fairs in Richmond and the National Capital region.
If your department or college hosts fairs, research the details on the fair website and learn about the employers attending and what they are seeking in terms of major, academic level, and type of job. Know the dress code, and research employers in advance. Never walk up to a representative and say, "what does your company do?" Do introduce yourself and state why you are interested in that organization.
If you don't feel ready to attend a career fair, check into the possibility of volunteering. Most fairs need many student volunteers. Having a purpose at the fair, such as helping employers carry their materials or delivering water to employer booths, can help you experience the environment without pressure, and enable you to see employers as human beings.
- The On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program is separate and different from interviews that might occur as part of a career fair, often the day after the fair.
- Through the On-Campus Interview (OCI) Program, hundreds of employers schedule interview dates that occur throughout many weeks of both fall and spring semester. Students apply for these interviews by submitting your resume in advance and waiting to learn if you are selected by the employer for an interview. The application and sign-up process is done in Hokies4Hire.
Employer Information sessions are typically held by an employer the evening prior to the OCI program interview date. In the info session, the employer shares pertinent information with students in advance of the interview. This enables students to be better prepared for the interview, and enables the employer to focus more interview time on each individual student, instead of repeating the same information over and over to individual individuals.
If you have an interview, do go to the information session if at all possible. You'll have a better interview as a result.
If you applied for an interview, and were not selected, but believe you are competitive, go to the info session with a professional appearance. Afterward speak with the recruiter. If you make a good impression the employer might be able to find a way to interview you, or at least reconsider you as a candidate.
If you are exploring career options, info sessions are a great opportunity to hear about work life directly from an organizational rep.
Information sessions are listed in Hokies4Hire.
Information interviews are initiated by you. The purpose of an informational interview is to learn more about a career field, industry, or employment setting and other information that may help you in your journey of career exploration and preparation. Informational interviews are arranged by you, by making a request to a person to speak by phone or in person. The purpose of an informational interview is not the same as a job interview. In an informational interview, you take the lead, and your purpose is to learn, not ask for a job.
More about arranging informational interviews, etiquette, and types of questions to ask.


text: After years of wanting to try this fetish I finally found a woman who was as into it as I am. We hit it off right away and after she revealed that she liked MMF threesomes I confessed that I wanted to be a cuckold. We were both very interested in BBC and after waiting a few weeks we found a bull. He fucked her in a hotel room while I watched and made out with her. She sucked his cock and I could tell she enjoyed it much for than mine. He was twice as thick as me and a bit longer. She came harder on his cock than on mine and she was much louder. After it was all over I fucked her and the next day after the swelling went down she was so loose. Eventually we had to stop because she was too sore from the previous night. I couldn't even fuck my own gf! It was amazing and humiliating all at the same time. I just fucked her ass crack as she confessed how much more enjoyable the black cock was. This is just the beginning and she told me she's going to be getting bbc more often.


text: On a new installation, make sure that DC power (12 or 24 volts depending on the model) is connected to the red and black wires with correct polarity. When this is confirmed note that the UnLatch will never operate unless the springlatch plunger is pushed in by the springlatch. You can be "fooled" by this feature if you're trying to test operate the UnLatch with the door open. To circumvent this, use a pencil or other similar object to lightly push in the springlatch plunger and then close the trigger wire to +V and you will see the UnLatch plungers move. On a service call for a unit with successful operating history, in addition to the checks mentioned above, check to see if the door and latch have gotten into a warped situation where there is heavy pre-loading on the door. The UnLatch motor may not be able to release the latch under this condition, but you should be able to hear it trying to release the latch. The UnLatch will automatically shut down its motor if it can't release the latch within 1.5 seconds. It will operate normally when it is re-triggered. You should be able to try operation by removing the pre-loading by pushing the door closed with enough force to counteract the pre-loading. Note that this situation is more likely if power supply capacity is less than the recommended 3 Amps at 12VDC 1.5 Amps at 24VDC. To correct this "warped door" situation, have the door serviced and possibly increase the capacity of the power supply.If the unit still will not function, note that it does have an internal microprocessor that could have gotten into a crash condition. This can happen some times if the unit is under-powered and has consequently stalled (the motor is not receiving enough power to operate the latch). While the motor is in the process of stalling, voltage to the processor will sharply drop and this can crash the microprocessor. A crash can also occur as a random event but this is unusual. The recovery technique is to de-power the unit, and then re-power it with the red and orange wires already connected (both then connect to +V). This re-initializes the firmware. Naturally, once this operation has been performed, return the unit to standard wiring (orange only connects to +V to trigger the unit.)Finally, the unit could have experienced motor failure or other internal electronic failure. Call the factory.

I have had allergies for most of my life, and they normally kick in during the summer months. That is not to say
they don't sometimes make an appearance in the winter but it's usually the warm months with the pollen in the air
that kicks in my allergies big-time.
Since I've been drinking raw milk my allergies have completely gone away. The only thing I
may have now is just a little sneezing episode now and again, but nothing like the full-blown itchy eyes,
runny/stuffy nose, horrible feeling I used to have.
It was actually a gradual thing. I noticed a difference right away but I hadn't actually noticed my allergies
were totally gone until this summer. I just figured this was another of those "magic" things raw milk does for you.
But in talking with a friend of mine who is more knowledgeable about these things than I am, she said the reason is
because of not just drinking raw milk, but drinking raw milk from a cow that is eating native grasses and
This conversation came about because someone had mentioned to me that they were buying milk in Pennsylvania at
an Amish farm and having it shipped here to Florida, and apparently they were able to save money by doing this. (I
haven't figured out how, with shipping charges, that would be possible!) But when I mentioned this to my friend,
she started talking about how the person would not be able to benefit from drinking milk from a cow that is eating
local grass and pollen, and everything regarding my allergies suddenly became clear to me. It all makes sense now.
And it's kinda cool!
So try to buy your raw milk locally if possible. There are a lot of benefits, and this is just another one to
chalk up.
p.s. Don't forget to give some to your dog too! They'll benefit as well.

But instead of a dateless prom being the end of the world, it's just the end of the world.
This week, Divergent hits the cinemas as the newest YA book turned movie, hoping to win over The Hunger Games and Twilight demographic and all their shrieking millions. Shailene Woodley plays Tris Prior, a young girl in a futuristic Chicago where she has to yada, yada, yada. Let's be honest, Divergent's going to be the new The Hunger Games, which was the new Twilight, which was the new She's All That, which was the new Pretty in Pink. We could make a pretty extensive list because even with the post-apocalyptic backdrop and fight sequences, we're still snacking on a sickly sweet teen coming-of-age-films John Hughes made in the '80s. Yeah, those were set in Chicago too. Here's all the ways they're basically the same.
Our Protagonist is a Misunderstood Outcast
Shailene Woodley's Tris Prior is part of the gray-clad Abnegation faction, which is basically the nerdy do-gooder of her society. (although, her mascara-laden eyelashes say she's a secret sex vixen waiting to come out). She's the spiritual granddaughter of Andie Walsh, the misunderstood creative in Pretty in Pink.
She Will Go through a Makeover
We can accomplish this simply by shaking the hair loose and ditching the spectacles. She might do something crazy, like get a tattoo or tear up her mom's pink dress to make a really ugly pink prom outfit.
There Will Be a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits
None of these guys belong! They're all misunderstood rascals, and we love them for it.
We're Going to Fall for the Bad Boy
Let me introduce you to Four. He has a dark past and his eyes smolder when he talks. He might not be able to punch the air like John Bender at the end of The Breakfast Club, but he'll teach you how to punch bad guys in the kisser.
He's Not Just a Pretty Face
What's that, Four? You don't want to just be in one group? You want to be all of the factions? Sorry, your back tattoo was really distracting. Again, there's more emotional history to this guy, very much like Bender.
She Will Be Quirky Enough to Get His Attention
That Brooding Boy is very busy with his emotionally wrought problems, so the girl is going to have to do something obvious to get his attention. If you're Tris Prior, standing in front of a target during knife throwing practice is one way, but if you're trapped in detention in a library, putting lipstick on using your cleavage could also work.
She'll Also Have a Sexual Revolution
She's going to be an innocent who will experience her first kiss or her first time or her first encounter with the opposite sex. Either way, a first something will happen.
It Will Take Place in Middle America
Well, Ferris Bueller does live in the metro Chicago area, and Divergent does take place in a future Chicago. It's as Americana as we can get really.
One Character Will Destroy Her Self-Esteem
James Spader's 1980's spirit lives on in Miles Teller because we always need a good for nothing, antagonistic know-it-all to pick at our insecurities. It will be confusing because we'll have deep, hidden sexual feels for this asshole.
The Villain Will be an Adult
Maybe not as comical as Principal Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but Kate Winslet pulls a similar menacing dead eye. She also helps enforce the "adults are party poopers" vibe that Rooney always did.
She's Going to Question the Status Quo
The Breakfast Club finds a small sampling of the high school cliques with the nerd, the jock, the basket case, the princess, or the criminal, much like the societal factions in Divergent: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Amity, and Candor. In both these cases they try to destroy the cliques.
Grand Romantic Gesture
This is by assumption but if the world was ending and I kept making out with a guy all over the place as we battled society, I'd expect him to do something to show that he has the hots for me. It might not be a birthday cake like Jake Ryan's, but even deflecting a rogue dagger would do it. The smaller the gesture, the sweeter it is.
Big Choreographed Moments
Ferris Bueller's parade sequence, Ducky's store dance, and The Breakfast Club's library montage are just proof that John Hughes' high schools were truly a magical place. Seeing as there's no time for dancing in the very gritty future, we'll settle for highly choreographed tandem fight sequences. It may seem like a reach, but it is sort of like dancing, and nothing cements a John Hughes film better than an overt choreographed sequence with a memorable track.

If you've ever worked on a project in the field, you know how difficult it can be to effectively communicate with your main office. Reporting through email and telephone are sometimes not enough to demonstrate something to decision makers at headquarters. Fortunately, Librestream Technologies enables industries' home offices to communicate with their field teams through advanced video collaboration.
Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Librestream provides much more than standard video conferencing, however. Their flagship product, Onsight, allows for video quality control, reliable audio, multiple documentation functions, and highly advanced security and stability functions. The collaborative mobile video platform essentially creates a "virtual presence" where remote experts can even troubleshoot equipment and assess environments with the accuracy needed to make decisions on the spot. The products have been deployed in Fortune 500 organizations across several sectors.
"As companies become more global, with equipment and manufacturing sites halfway around the world, this type of effective mobile remote communications can help save money on expensive travel and streamline the decision-making process," says Paul Rogan, Controller of Librestream. "We've been selling our products internationally since we began in 2003, and today we have sales across the U.S., as well as in Europe, Asia, and South America."
In addition to providing its customers with state-of-the-art video collaboration technology, Librestream is dedicated to providing exceptional customer service, and was recently honoured with a 2015 Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award for leadership in customer value.
Trade Protect helps Librestream deliver faster
For a few years, Librestream had used single buyer credit insurance from Export Development Canada (EDC) when shipping outside of the country. "Our order size is significant enough that payment guarantees are important," says Rogan. "It's hard for us to pursue a bad debt internationally."
"But a lot of our customers want the product by a certain date—they order on the 21st and want it in their hands by the 26th. To get there in time, we need to be able to ship the product within a day of the order coming in."
Fortunately, a solution was found with EDC's new Trade Protect. "EDC realized Canadian companies need a fast and easy way to insure smaller amounts of less than $500,000 against non-payment," explains Willy Fogang, Librestream's account manager at EDC. "EDC has a database of companies that we've already done credit reports on, so a business can apply for Trade Protect insurance in as little as 10 minutes and can often receive approval immediately, or the same day, for premiums as low as $30."
Recently Librestream used Trade Protect to ship a number of their video collaboration devices to a reseller in Brazil, which sells the products to companies in the oil and gas industry. "I was pleased that we really could apply for Trade Protect in 10 minutes," says Rogan. "We were able to affordably insure the shipment and deliver it to Brazil within a quick timeframe."
Looking to Increase Your International Sales? 5 Ways Trade Protect Can Help

Family, education and youth
A love of the arts begins with nurturing children's interests through a range of genres. We introduce school age kids to performing arts through our A Day at Auckland Live workshop days. Then there are the major children's shows like The 13-Storey Treehouse, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and so many more, that come to our venues. We also book children's theatre to delight and entertain during the school holidays.
We support child focused initiatives by our partner organisations such as the APO 4 Kids concerts and Auckland Arts Festival's Family Day, and every year the Aotea Centre is filled with talented young people taking the stage for Stage Challenge or in the National Youth Theatre Company's annual musicals.

In 2017, the programme will be centred around Matariki, technology and sustainability.
And for the first time, A Day At Auckland Live will be held at Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna, as well as the Aotea Centre.

When you buy tickets to Auckland Live Presents shows or events on Ticketmaster, you will be asked if you would like to add a donation to your purchase. By making this donation, you will help us extend Auckland Live Kids Play, an Auckland Live Presents initiative to help introduce more kiwi kids to the performing arts.
Attending, and taking part in performing arts events from a young age has been proven to contribute to enriching children's personal wellbeing, inspiring their creativity and enhancing their academic achievements. Children are encouraged to be curious; to think about diversity; have conversations; to listen, sing or laugh uproariously. These experiences will ultimately give children a love of the theatre, music and dance that will enrich their whole lives, and we at Auckland Live are working hard to make the arts accessible to all.

A guide for pet owners, giving information about pet selection, housing and training, preventive health and dental care, immunizations, nutrition and diet, disease identification and treatment, emergency first aid and breeding.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The Illustrated Veterinary Guide is a brilliantly conceived and expertly rendered reference. In one succinct volume, Chris C. Pinney, D.V.M., covers just about everything you might need to know about owning and caring for dogs, cats, and countless other animals. He covers birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs; hamsters, rats, and chinchillas; prairie dogs, hedgehogs, ferrets, and miniature potbellied pigs--plus reptiles, amphibians, tropical fish, and invertebrates. Whether your menagerie is restricted to Fluffy and Fido, or extends to tarantulas, hermit crabs, newts, and snakes, Pinney provides chapters on restraint, housing, nutrition, reproduction, preventive health care, and the diseases and disorders relevant to each species.
The dog and cat sections are naturally the most thorough, forming more than half the book. Pinney discusses how to choose the right dog and how to housebreak, socialize, and train him, then delves into preventive health care (nail trimming, weight control, and staving off parasites), elective surgeries (tail docking and ear trimming), and breeding your dog (from puberty and birthing to the care of neonatal puppies). Next come the infectious diseases (such as distemper, paravirus, kennel cough, and ringworm) and the parasitic diseases (such as scabies, tapeworm, and demodectic mange). Pinney's veterinary guide launches into all the internal systems (cardiovascular and respiratory, immune and digestive, urinary and reproductive, musculoskeletal, nervous, and endocrine) plus the doggy anatomy of skin and coat (integumentary system), eyes, and ears. Pinney explains the workings of each system, and the diseases that afflict them. There are few symptom charts, so you can't look up "vomiting" and see the associated diseases, though you can check the chapter on first aid for a quick guide to possible causes and seriousness. You can also identify the digestive system as the likely location, read about all the conditions and symptoms, and decide if tonsillitis, intestinal obstruction, or intussusception seems most likely.
The information provided by Pinney is all sound veterinary data, and the appendix on first aid for dogs and cats is excellent. But don't underestimate the value of the illustrations. An illustration of ringworm on a cat face is worth a thousand words when it comes to assessing if that's what your cat has, and mimicking the drawing of how to hold a pet snake is worlds easier than trying to apply written instructions to a restive boa. Some illustrations, such as the one of a cat in a thicket to illustrate feline nocturnal predatory habits, provide more eye candy than useful data. But there's no replacement for a picture of where to cut a bird's talon, how to restrain a lizard, or what a dog with impacted anal sacs looks like when it's scooting. If you like animals and want all your veterinary info in one place, Pinney's guide is a great one-volume resource. --Stephanie GoldFrom the Publisher:
If you want to take good care of your pet, take a look at this A-to-Z quick answer book from popular veterinarian Chris Pinney, D.V.M. The Illustrated Veterinary Guide covers it all, from preventive health care, to diet, grooming, and training tips, to eye-opening facts that you would never have guessed about your pet (did you know that dogs might not be as color blind as people think?). Destined to put your mind at ease and give your pet a longer, happier, and healthier life, this book is the one for you---whether you own just one pet or a small zoo!
In the second edition you will find: * Super $$$ saving strategies for pet owners * New treatments for canine and feline heartworm disease, management of arthritis, flea control, pet nutrition, breeding---plus emergency first aid * Expanded sections on hedgehogs, chinchillas, prairie dogs, amphibians, and invertebrates * An informative introduction to holistic and alternative therapies for pets---homeopathic and "natural" pet care * A new format loaded with easy-to-read charts, tables, and illustrations Coverage includes: amphibians, birds, cats, chinchillas, dogs, fish, gerbils, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, invertebrates, mice, pot-bellied pigs, prairie dogs, rabbits, rats, and reptiles.

When Steve Lopez see Nathaniel Ayers playing his heart out on a two-string violin on Los Angeles' Skid Row, he finds it impossible to walk away. At first, he is drawn by the opportunity to crank out another column for the Los Angeles Times, just one more item on an ever-growing to-do list: "Violin Man." But what Lopez begins to unearth about the mysterious street musician leaves an indelible impression. More than thirty years earlier, Ayers had been a promising classical bass student at Juilliard- ambitious, charming, and one of the few African-Americans- until he gradually lost his ability to function, overcome by a mental breakdown. When Lopez finds him, Ayers is alone, suspicious of everyone, and deeply troubled, but glimmers of that brilliance are still there. From an impromptu concert of Beethoven's Eighth in the Second Street tunnel to a performance of Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suites on Skid Row, the two men learn to communicate through Ayers's music. Lopez collects donated violins, a cello, even a stand-up bass and a piano with the hope that Ayers can be swayed to move off the streets, where every day his well-being is threatened. Their bond takes tortuous turns as Lopez imagines he can change Ayers's life- finding him lodging, reconnecting him to his family, taking him to Disney Concert Hall to meet a former Juilliard classmate. For each triumph, there is a crashing disappointment, yet neither man gives up. And although it's Ayers he initially sets out to save, Lopez finds his own life is profoundly changed. This book is a about unwavering commitment, artistic devotion, and the transformative magic of music.-- Book Jacket.

Feeling Crabby
It's February in Alaska (heavy sigh). Solstice seems so long ago and yet we are still dragging ourselves out of bed in the dark. The Valentine's chocolates are gone, so we try to be comforted by our happy-lights, sub-lingual vitamin D3 drops, and surfing for cheap flights to the sun on the sly. We all need a diversion… thank God for crab season!
Suddenly, after a long couple months of QUIET, the harbor is busy with boats jockeying for position at the crane dock to load pots and gear on board their vessels. Crew are walking the docks in shiny new xtratuf boots and well-worn rain-gear. We are all dreaming of crab… crab louie, hot crab dip, crab omelettes, crab cakes, crab fettucini and steamed crab simply dipped in butter. But, before we can eat it, we have to get it up off the bottom of the sea.
Both Tanner and Golden King Crab pot fisheries opened on February 16th this year. Known for their rich sweet flavor, Alaskan crab are on the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch list as a "good alternative." Crab populations vary from year to year, as favorable weather and water conditions are necessary for young crab survival. In Southeast Alaska Fish and Game uses an abundance-based strategy for harvest regulation in the tanner crab fishery, ensuring healthy male crab populations. This conservative management means we can all feel good about enjoying this wild-caught and sustainable delicacy!
Our boat, the St. Lazaria, gets to tender tanner crab from the icy waters of Sumner Strait this year. We'll meet the cheerful crew of the F/V Pacific Sea at the south end of the Wrangell Narrows, transfer their catch to our tender and deliver it to the processing plant (see slideshow). These crabbers are a professional, productive operation and a pleasure to do business with. Tanner crab is also known as Snow, Queen, or Spider Crab, and is called Kani when in sushi. Found on the continental shelf of the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea in depths of up to 1433 feet, a legal-sized crab must be male and at least 5.4" wide.
Ask your local fish-monger for some wild-caught Alaskan Tanner or King Crab. The sweet and rich meat is a low-fat delicacy everyone who loves seafood should experience.
What's your favorite way to eat crab?

So this is my first post since not winning the Bath in Fashion Blogger Award... Never mind, there's always next year! We had an amazing day, the catwalk show was so much fun and it was so lovely meeting all the gorgeous girls... Of course big congratulations go to the winner Lorna of Raindrops of Sapphire - very well deserved hun, well done! :))
Thank you to EVERYONE that voted for me, I really appreciate your support and lovely, lovely comments and tweets and Facebook messages... you're all so great. And I'm very proud that I was nominated, seeing as it was the first time I've ever entered myself for anything blogger-related.
Back to blogger reality then...! The true fashionista that I am is treating you to a faaaabulous outfit of, er, jeans and sweater today. But it is a pretty sweater - a new purchase from Asos that I saw on someone's wishlist (give yourself a shout out in the comments if it was you, sorry I forgot which blogger it was!) - and at least it was brightened by my magenta bag.
Mmmmmm, magenta.
Why say purple or pink when you can say magenta - it's such a great name for a colour I think: Magenta. Sounds so exotic!
Two exciting things to tell you about: I finally have an international giveaway coming up this weekend that I've been promising for a while. Think stunning vintage jewellery. Come back Sunday for that, then on Monday I have a "proper dressed up" outfit that might just be entered for something for which I'll be needing Facebook votes... I hope I'll get your support again if it's not too much trouble...?!
Have a great weekend everyone,

"John said they were excellent."
Review for Town & Country Ford Body Shop
Julio S. on 12/22/2015
Spoke with Anabel. She said they were very good about explaining what they were doing. She mentioned there was a misunderstanding and they cut a few corners when hooking up the bumper, it had to do with the body and the existing framework. They did not put enough effort into this as they could have. She wanted the vehicle to look the way it used to. She mentioned they will be taking the vehicle to someone else to look at the vehicle.

Kinnigoli: For petty thieves, any little item appears valuable enough to steal to keep life going for a further few days.
When lifting of vehicles is a common story heard here and there, a curious case of theft of two tyres of a car has been reported from here.
Sadananda Shetty, who resides in an apartment in Rajangana location on the main road, parks his car in front of it every night. On Friday morning he found that the front two tyres of his Maruti car were missing.
Although dismantling of tyres makes some rattle and sound, it has puzzled the residents around as to how it escaped the notice of anyone. They have demanded stepping up of police beat in the night. A few have suggested community policing by public-spirited individuals and organizations.
A case has been filed in the Mulki police station.

Why not? Everybody would have to have their birth certificate for this, just like for a job application or security check. It's no big deal, especially if it will help send home people who are in the US illegally.
I'm not sure I understand what you meant to say here. I have never been asked for my birth certificate whan interviewing for a job, not only that, but it would create a problem for naturalized American citizens whose birth certificate is from a different nation.
There's also the fact that birth certificates offer nothing in the way of proof as to whether the individual presenting it as proof it is actually the person in the document. They are also very easy to counterfit.

The 20 x 6 meter community swimming pool with varying water depths from 105-170cm is open from June through September. Cool off or swim laps - the owners even keep track of their guests' record times. If you prefer soccer - head to the football pitch. There are two barbecues on the property for our guests to use wherever they like. The property has the following layout: there are two houses with holiday apartments and a former granary, which is used for big get-togethers and parties, such as weddings or large meetings. Apart from these three large buildings, there are numerous small outbuildings. The two houses are connected by a courtyard on one side and have the garden, which seamlessly leads into the nature park on the other side.
One of the apartments is handicap accessible (Object 840900 and one is located in a detached single family house (Object 840902). For special events and upon request, the granary can be utilized by our guests for sampling local products or to enjoy a pizza from the wood oven. Let the atmosphere of this property enchant you and enjoy a holiday on a century old Tuscan country manor house. The agritourism as it exists today has developed over the years, when more and more outbuildings were built on the property.
In Vaggio, only a few hundred meters from the agritourism, you can find a small grocery store and a pizzeria. After about four kilometres, in Figline and Reggello, there are more restaurants and pizzerias and a large supermarket (Figline). A factory outlet mall with brands, such as Gucci, Valentino, Armani, Prada can be found about ten kilometres from the agritourism. The historic property is in equidistance from Florence, Siena and Arezzo, making it an ideal base for exploring Tuscany's rich culture. The property is about 27 kilometres southeast of Florence.
For a romantic getaway: apartment with a fireplace for two
This two storey apartment is located in building 1 (see pictures) and is accessible via the inner courtyard. It boasts a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. Just like the other properties on this agritourism, it was rustically furnished with attention to detail and is very cosy. The living room with two large armchairs and a pretty coffee table by the fireplace makes for a romantic setting for two or a comfortable atmosphere for a get together. The kitchen offers plenty of space for a kitchen unit and a dining table for four. It is equipped with a gas stove, an oven and a refrigerator with a freezer compartment. There is a bedroom with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a bidet. The apartment is equipped with cable television in the living room and gas heating.
In the community courtyard, you will find tables and chairs.
Upon request, a child cot for children up to three years can be provided. A laundry facility is available on the property.

Subliminal Deep Sleep & Relaxation
This is a SHORTENED version of the complete album that's also available on Apple's iTunes but NOT available here in Audible!
It didn't.
There's only 4 chapters with Ch 1 as the Subliminal instructions. The subliminal messages are in Ch 2 but NOT Ch 3 or 4.The FULL version on iTunes are broken up into 12 chapters and the running time is at least Doubled! Worse... the cost was almost the SAME!Only Ch 2 will help with the subliminal messages which is basically a deep whispering on top of the music in various spots. Ch 3 & 4 contains light music for you to fall asleep to.Spent a few days listening only to Ch 2 and finally able to fall asleep. Sad part is that my internal body rhythm has me waking up early ~6-6:30a every day so I can't just sleep in. Have to wake up first then fall back asleep on the weekends.At least I can doze off slightly better now.
This is somewhat of a rip-off in the

Relaxing or Primal Fear Inducing? You tell me!
I am no stranger to hypnotic, subliminal relaxation, but this is the most horrid and frightening voice and 'music' I have ever heard!. Seriously frightening to hear this narrator's maniacal voice. I had my husband listen to it and he had nightmares! Had my 12 yr. old son listen to a few minutes of it to see if I was imagining things, and ended up having to let him watch an extra 1/2 hr. of TV to get it out of his head.
It gave us nightmares! Background sounds like rain falling on concrete with a loud, annoying bell being struck repeatedly. Lonely, dark, terrifying. The maniacal voice droning on in a creepy tone. Seriously creepy! I know this is my 'visual' of the sounds, but there is nothing else to compare them to. I tried a Tibetan Monastery in the rain...nope. Beautiful sounds in a mountain cabin with rain...no. Just lonely sounds from a deserted shipyard on Elm Street, where you're being hunted by Freddy.
At first I thought it had to be a joke, but no, it went on and on like a scene from a slasher movie. I would have cut the entire thing and tried again, unbelievable it made it this far. Who edits this stuff, Jason??
Every last one of them
STAY AWAY! Seriously, stay away.

Offensive lineman Michael Mooney of Malvern (Pa.) Prep recently picked up his second Big Ten offer, and has also hosted a number of top programs at his school. Mooney will next hit the road for a few visits, including to his most recent offer.
"I picked up an offer from Northwestern and schools are starting to come to see me at school," said Mooney, who is 6-foot-5 and 265-pounds.
Mooney gave a little insight on his Northwestern offer.
Article Continues Below
"I'm very excited about that offer," said Mooney. "I know they are one of the top universities in the county, they compete in the Big Ten and they have made three straight bowl games. I also like the coaching staff a lot. I have been in a lot of contact with Coach Heffner, who recruits this area, and Coach Cushing, the offensive line coach. I got a chance to talk with the head coach as well."
Along with his new offer, Mooney has been very busy hosting coaches at Malvern Prep.
"Virginia came in to school and I will be taking a visit there," said Mooney. "The other schools that came are Duke, Rutgers, Villanova, Syracuse, Delaware, Nebraska, Boston College, Wisconsin, Penn State, Connecticut and Miami."
Aside from his upcoming visit to Virginia, Mooney will also visit Northwestern in June. He is also deciding on summer camps.
"I have not decided on any camps to do yet, but I will be deciding soon though," said Mooney, who mentioned that he hopes to make a final decision before the start of his senior season.
Mooney also listed a few things that he will be looking for in a school and program when it comes time to make his choice.
"I'm looking for a school with good academics and that competes at a high level," said Mooney. "I also want to fit in well with the coaching staff."

Even Messi and Ronaldo have off days. I think I can forgive a few poor games in an otherwise stellar run of form.
That's what you have squad depth and competition for. Not that I rate Gibbs really highly, but if Monreal doesn't look quite as good as he used to we may as well give the other a couple of games to prove his worth.
It was not like he had a series of bad games... why not let him play through it?If his bad form last for a few more games, then we can start considering Gibbs...
I'm really not convinced his age (30) has anything to do with it. Just a series of games where hes below his usual standard...and not by a massive distance either.
I'm not asking Gibbs, but a chance to prove his qualities and to put Monreal out of the comfort zone.
I'm honestly not seeing the hate tbh. Probably cos I've watched the last couple of games drunk and not followed up with any highlights or analyses because we are playing some gash stuff right now and watching us once is difficult enough.
We aren't leaking goals though - Liverpool aside - and I don't think our defense has been overly bad other than Mustafi and Koz getting tore apart by Cavani's movement.
Actually there is no right or wrong to sit Monreal for Gibbs... arguments from both sides could be right.
As I said, it was just a game or two... not necessary to "overreact a bit" to make any changes... especially we already have a new starting CB. It is better to let Bellerin-Mustafi-Kos-Monreal to play some consecutive games together to build the understanding.Unless Monreal is injured or really out of form, otherwise I will save Gibbs for the COC and FA Cup.
Not really sure what you mean by seeing the hate?
It's a colloquialism. I just mean some people have been saying - not only on here - that Cech and Monreal are starting to show their age a little and declining a little. I sort of understand it about Cech but I think Monreal has been decent enough especially at a fundamental level just like he has been for the last couple of seasons.
Like I say though it could larely be down to me not paying avid enough attention.
If Cech is showing "his age" playing like against Soton, I wish him to be in goal with us until his 94th birthday.
I think some people may want to start Ospina from now??
Monreal is comfortably the better defender than Gibbs, it will take a consistent spell of poor form for me to consider Gibbs a suitable replacement.
Standard football fan kneejerk reaction.
I feel like his games against Liverpool and PSG have me questioning his place in the team but it is very likely just a blip of poor form which hasnt been helped by the team playing poorly and the tactics being a bit off.
Just scored a well taken Volley vs Macedonia.
Nacho man!
Was fantastic yesterday! Back to his best hopefully. Could have had two assists yday if he was more lucky.
I think it helped that West Ham basically played without any full backs.
He needs to be dropped IMO, he's a far cry from what he was last season and with the way Gibbs has been playing what else does he need to do to start?
Monreal looks like he's lost a yard of pace and just generally his form is poor, Gibbs deserves his chance.
Got shot down for suggesting we drop him for Gibbs at the start of the season. Could clearly see he'd lost half a yard of pace.

Package: installation
Severity: normal
I'm having some problems with Debian Squeeze installation.
It freezes for a long time when detecting network interfaces. The interest thing is that when I first installed Squeeze a few weeks ago, I didn't have this problem (just some suggestion from the installer about a firmware, called rtl8168d-2.fw), but the detection was really fast.
I downloaded a new ISO from Debian FTP, but the problem persisted.
Any suggestions about what to do? Why is it taking so long?

Professional Development
Frankel Jewish Academy places a high value on professional development. As a Professional Learning Community, we set high standards for our teachers and students alike. Teachers seek to work at FJA precisely because they know their desire to grow will be supported as a result of our publicized commitment to professional development. We attract and retain teachers who expect to hone their craft, deepen their skills, and who know that excellence is the result of a lifelong commitment to growth.
Our teachers recognize that teaching is more than knowing your subject and being empathetic. FJA teachers routinely sit in on their colleagues' classes to help critique them and learn from others' strategies. Teachers new to FJA are paired with trained mentors who guide them to set goals and reflect on their practice through weekly meetings and observations. Every teacher selects specific goals that they want to work on, and joins one of three cohorts to further develop a skill.
The Rabbinics department is proud to be one of four partners collaborating with the Jewish Theological Society and the Legacy Heritage Leadership Institute to develop the focus of the Rabbinics curriculum and to reflect on and enhance the pedagogy of the teachers. Over the course of several on-site and off-site seminars, teachers focus on what the learning needs of the students are to inspire a strong, knowledgeable Jewish identity in our students.
The Hebew department works with ACTFL (America Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) to create units and lessons that are relevant and accessible to our students, and uses the latest in language acquisition techniques to give student strong Hebrew skills.

Aston Villa are out to pounce on any Liverpool nerves
Tim Sherwood will come up against the one that got away at Wembley tomorrow when his Aston Villa side face a Liverpool team featuring "street footballer" Raheem Sterling.
That was Sherwood's description of the Liverpool winger as he recalled pushing Tottenham to move for Sterling during his time as head of the White Hart Lane academy, prior to the player's move to Anfield.
"In those early days, I thought he was a talent that doesn't fall off trees very often but he decided to go to Liverpool and you have to say he made a good choice," said Sherwood. "He was 14, 15 and at the QPR academy.
"He was a street footballer," he added. "They are a dying breed now because society doesn't allow these kids to go out and play, but he is just a fantastic talent."
Tomorrow, Villa are looking to reach their first FA Cup final since 2000, and Sherwood added: "The pressure is on them a lot more, they need to be winning trophies, Liverpool Football Club have demanded that for centuries now. We hope they're a bit edgy and nervy with it."
Sherwood also discussed the future of star striker Christian Benteke, and suggested that he would not hesitate to cash in on the Belgian if he declared his desire to move on this summer.
He said: "He's given no indication that he wants to play elsewhere. If he does then we will assess the situation but we want to keep him at the club. You can't force any player. You might as well take the money because you end up without the money or the player if you don't take it."
Sherwood has confirmed Shay Given will start tomorrow.
The veteran keeper turns 39 on Monday and will face the Reds to continue his comeback at the club.
Given made just two league appearances under ex-manager Paul Lambert, although has been Villa's goalkeeper for the cups after losing his regular place to Brad Guzan in 2012.
But Sherwood will put his faith in the Republic of Ireland international.
He said: "Shay plays. Absolutely. He's done nothing wrong Shay, he's a large part of the reason we're in this semi-final.
"He's pushing Brad all the way for that No.1 spot."

Hunger strike isn't entirely voluntary, CDCR contends
A hunger strike permeating state prisons is not as peaceful as organizers and advocates claim, prison officials say.
On Thursday, 498 inmates in eight prisons were counted as hunger strikers as the number continues to dwindle entering the strike's 24th day.
The number could be lower if some inmates weren't fearful of retaliation if they resume eating, said Terry Thornton, a press secretary for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
"There have been inmates who are saying they have been coerced to do this," said Thornton. "Some inmates ... say they want to resume eating, but they're fearful for their safety."
An inmate who suffered a broken eye socket and cheek bone Saturday morning returned to prison Tuesday after being treated at a hospital. The 51-year-old inmate was assaulted by his cellmate in the Corcoran State Prison Administrative Segregation Unit after refusing to share his food with hunger strikers, Thornton said.
There have been several reports of inmates sneaking hunger-strikers food; those caught were no longer considered to be protesting, Thornton said.
"There are some people that we're still showing are on a hunger strike and we know that they are eating, they just haven't been caught," said Thornton.
Other reports from inmates state they were given permission by strike leaders to resume eating, Thornton said.
The core group of inmates leading the thrid hunger strike in two years are housed in Pelican Bay State Prison's Security Housing Unit. They are protesting the use of long-term solitary confinement to thwart prison gang communications.
Inmates claim they arebeing wrongly labelled gang affiliates, while the CDCR and some other inmates who participated in pastprotests insist it is being driven by prison gang leaders seeking release to grow their criminal enterprises.
The CDCR does not consider the SHU to be "solitary confinement," Thornton said.
"We don't have anything in California that could be described as solitary confinement," said Thornton. "One of the issues I've found is there's no consensus on what that is."
The term is too vague, said Thornton, adding that among human rights groups there's varying definitions.
A lot of myths about the SHU continue to be perpetuated, Thornton said.
She said she's seen media report about California's SHU inmates having no human contact or no natural light.
"If they are devoid of all human contact, how did they get 30,000 inmates to stop eating?" said Thornton.
With Pelican Bay's skylights, "there is natural light, there are no windows," said Thornton.
In the state's three other SHUs, located in California State Prison-Sacramento, Corcoran State Prison and California Correctional Institution, the SHUs have windows. Those SHUs are set up similar to other general population facilities in high-security prisons, Thornton said.
Some media and advocacy reports have also been "simplifying" the process by which inmates can be placed in the SHU, Thornton said.
The hunger strikes have been a publicity campaign to raise awareness of the conditions of the SHU and process of long-term solitary confinement in California's prisons so that those inmates held indefinitely can be released to the general population areas.
SHU inmates have been linked to murders and organized crime by state authorities and prison investigators.
Past strikes helped gain support from attorneys who have picked up a lawsuit that is now seeking to release all inmates who have been in Pelican Bay's SHU for more than 10 years to the general population.
Most recently, hunger-strikers have gained the support of celebrities, notable activists and political thinkers, including Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Angela Davis and Jay Leno. They attached their names to an open letter sent to Gov. Jerry Brown produced by prisoner advocates that is callingplacement of prisoners in the SHUs for several years "shameful" and comparing the practice to those at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay.
"What surprises me is that someone would put their name to something when they don't fully know the issues," said Thornton.

Cuddeback, airman killed in Germany, was a Va. high school grad who loved hockey
Sunday, March 6, 2011; 11:13 PM
One of the two U.S. airmen killed last week in an attack in Germany was a 21-year-old man who graduated from high school in Virginia and played hockey and started college in the state.
Airman 1st Class Zachary R. Cuddeback, who graduated from William Monroe High School in Stanardsville, Va., was at the wheel of a bus at the Frankfurt airport when a man burst into the vehicle with a pistol. A second airman, identified as Nicholas J. Alden, was also killed in the Wednesday attack.
Cuddeback was "an Army brat" who had lived in many places, his parents said in a statement. After graduating from high school in Stanardsville, where the family lives, he spent a year at Old Dominion University in Norfolk before joining the Air Force in 2009.
His "love of the Air Force," cars and hockey "were paramount in his life," his parents said in the statement. They called him a "hockey player extraordinaire" who had spent a lot of time at the Charlottesville Ice Park.
Rich Appleby, coach of the club ice hockey team at Old Dominion, recalled Sunday that Cuddeback, a forward who played right and left wing, loved the game and "attended every practice and attended every game."
He was "always in a good mood" and "could take a big hit and get up and keep on playing," Appleby said. He "was out there just to have a lot of fun.''
The other players "really liked him," Appleby said.
A neighbor in Stanardsville, Diane Goerlitz-Blaisdell, said that after her husband died, Cuddeback would drop by to help.
"He was a wonderful young man," she said. Among other kindnesses, he climbed onto her roof and cleaned the gutters, she said.
Whenever a difficulty arose, she said, such as the time her fence collapsed, she could go to his house, knock on the door and be assured of help.
"He was an incredible young man," she said. "I miss him. I really do."
In their statement, the family said his "mother, De Loyet, father, Bob Cuddeback, and brother and best friend, Tim Cuddeback, will miss him sorely."
An Associated Press account said the gunman, identified as Arid Uka, a Kosovo Albanian, approached a bus at the Frankfurt airport and asked Alden for a cigarette, then whether he was headed for Afghanistan.
Alden answered yes and was shot point-blank. The gunman then clambered into the bus, shouting "Allahu akbar," and shot Cuddeback, who was assigned to the 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron at Ramstein Air Base.
The account quoted German authorities as saying Uka also wounded two others before his pistol jammed.
It quoted a German prosecutor as saying that Uka had gone to the airport to kill Americans as revenge for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.
