The Rev. Tom Walsh claims he doesn't have many stories to tell.
But the 84-year-old priest at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Osprey does indeed have stories — lots of them.
Walsh has traveled to the Holy Land and floated in the Dead Sea. He's vacationed in 49 states. And, this year, he has reason to celebrate — it marks his 60th anniversary as a priest.
From his early grade-school days, Walsh, who was born in Chicago, always wanted to be a priest.
"It's a lot of fun getting to know people," he says. "Just saying hello to everybody as they're leaving church on Sunday, enjoying all the social functions that the church has. You make an unusually large number of friends in this position."
He begins every sermon by telling a joke, a tradition he started in the '80s while working in New Jersey before he moved to Florida 23 years ago.
"I don't remember how it started, but once you start, you get trapped, and if you don't do it one Sunday, you get all kinds of complaints," he said.
The jokes come from different sources. Sometimes, Walsh refers to Reader's Digest. He also has a few church joke books. And, to help him out, parishioners e-mail him jokes and leave envelopes for him at the church.
"Here's one that gets good response: A woman goes to her priest and tells him she has a winning lottery ticket, but she's frightened to tell her husband because it might give him a heart attack," Walsh says.
"They decide that the priest could gently break the news to him during the men's meeting that evening. At the meeting, the priest says, 'What would you do if you won a winning lottery ticket?' The woman's husband says, 'I would give half of it to the parish.' Then the priest had a heart attack!"
Walsh was ordained June 6, 1950. Our Lady of Mount Carmel will honor him on his anniversary date this year with a celebratory party at the church.
"It's also the 10th anniversary of the church this year," Walsh says. "It was exciting watching this place being built."

Windows 7 64 Bit - go for it!

I installed W7 64 bit Home Premium over the weekend in place of Vista 32 bit. I was concerned that some of my software and hardware might not work with it so I downloaded the 64 bit version of W7 Enterprise to try it out. I'm pleased to say that there is nothing I have that doesn't run properly on the 64 bit version. The installation found correct drivers for my motherboard, (onboard sound etc), HP6540 printer and all my games including the complete Tomb Raider series from TR1 to Anniversary run fine with no tweaks needed. I've also installed Half Life 2 and Sensible Soccer with no problems. I also use Quicken 98 for my personal finance and it too installed and runs perfectly as well as Lotus SmartSuite '97. I decided to go for the 64 bit version for no particular reason, (I have 4 GB of Ram which I know the 64 bit version can fully use), apart from it being the most current version. I appreciate that other people may have different software and hardware configurations but from my personal position, I'm very happy with it.

Teams of workers are mobilizing in the Gulf of Mexico to try to stem a natural gas leak at an offshore drilling rig that exploded and caught fire Tuesday. The rig off the Louisiana coast has been partially destroyed by the out of control blaze, and firefighting boats are on the scene.
A federal judge has denied an attempt by BP to suspend claims being paid over its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil company wanted a temporary break in payments while an investigation into fraud allegations is conducted.

Environmental remediation scientists at LSU's School of the Coast and Environment have found remnants of crude oil in the hearts of pogy that live off Grand Isle.
Pogy, a baitfish more officially called menhaden, make up the second largest commercial catch in the United States. They're not only resold as baitfish, but they're also processed into fish oil and fish meal, making their way into vitamins, cosmetics and livestock feeds.
Researchers at Tulane University are working on designing a less toxic oil dispersant than the Corexit used on the BP spill in 2010. The goal is using ingredients now approved for human consumption.
A new report from the Environmental Defense Fund and Walton Family Foundation estimates wildlife tourism along the Gulf of Mexico is a $19 billion industry. Local officials want that report used as evidence to back up claims for future BP fine money.
A federal appeals court is deciding if BP can back away from its damage-claim process set up last year. At issue are methods used by businesses claiming losses from the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
A 20-ton tar mat has been discovered off the coast of the Grand Terre barrier island, CNN is reporting.
The 40,000-pound mix of oil, sand, shells and seawater was dug out of the shallows by workers off Grand Terre over the last few weeks, according to Lt. Commander Natalie Murphy, a Coast Guard spokeswoman.
Murphy told CNN the tar mat was approximately 165 feet long and stretched about 65 feet wide, though only about 15% of the total weight was oil.
The Coast Guard is winding up its clean-up work in three Gulf Coast states with beaches soiled by the BP oil spill. But operations in Louisiana are continuing.
BP is ending its cleanup of the massive Deepwater Horizon oil spill in three Gulf Coast states this month, leaving Louisiana as the only state with ongoing cleanup linked to the company's Deepwater Horizon Response effort. Reports of oil sightings in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida will soon be the U.S. Coast Guard's responsibility to investigate.
For NPR's Newscast unit, Debbie Elliott reports:
An organization formed to help people fleeing the Vietnam War establish themselves in the U.S. is now helping a Gulf Coast community deal with the impact of much more recent history.

To determine the spectrum and prevalence of mutations in the RYR2-encoded the cardiac ryanodine receptor in cases with exertional syncope and normal QTc.
Mutations in the RYR2 cause type 1 catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT1), a cardiac channelopathy with increased propensity for lethal ventricular dysrhythmias. Most RYR2 mutational analyses target 3 canonical domains encoded by < 40% of the translated exons. The extent of CPVT1-associated mutations localizing outside of these domains remains unknown as RYR2 has not been examined comprehensively in most patient cohorts.
Mutational analysis of all RYR2 exons was performed using PCR, DHPLC, and DNA sequencing on 155 unrelated patients (49% females, 96% white, age at diagnosis 20 ± 15 years, mean QTc 428 ± 29 ms), with either clinical diagnosis of CPVT (n = 110) or an initial diagnosis of exercise-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS) but with QTc < 480 ms and a subsequent negative LQTS genetic test (n = 45).
Sixty-three (34 novel) possible CPVT1-associated mutations, absent in 400 reference alleles, were detected in 73 unrelated patients (47%). Thirteen new mutation-containing exons were identified. Two thirds of the CPVT1-positive patients had mutations that localized to one of 16 exons.
Possible CPVT1 mutations in RYR2 were identified in nearly half of this cohort. 45 of the 105 translated exons are now known to host possible mutations. Considering that ~65% of CPVT1-positive cases would be discovered by selective analysis of 16 exons, a tiered targeting strategy for CPVT genetic testing should be considered.

Savath & Savalas Manana
- Words: Carleton Curtis
- Label: Warp
The fanboys may gravitate toward Prefuse 73, but Guillermo Scott Herren's acoustical alter ego Savath & Savalas attracts revolutionaries. (Have you made the Gil Scott Heron connection yet?) His own personal sketch of Spain, Herren's Manana grows from the soil of Apropa't with a similar beatific haze, but incorporates distinct rhythms and electronic grace notes that are decidedly Prefuse-like. With tracks like the restless "No Puedo De Cidir"-discernibly beat-driven with, gasp, a sample-you might say Herren has gone full-circle.

Special to The Seattle Times
The face of fantastic fiction is changing. More than just its face: This former locus of racial and cultural stereotypes, where Robert Heinlein's spaceship pilots look, sound and act like 1950s Pat Boone fans and J.R.R. Tolkien's doughty elves battle hordes of Asiatic Orcs, is undergoing a transformation that's more than skin deep. Three recent novels demonstrate the genre's growing ability to represent human diversity.
"Slaves of the Shinar" by Justin Allen (Overlook, 432 pp., $25.95) is a self-described "epic fantasy of the ancient world." Set in the Middle East of the Bronze Age, it follows the exploits of a roving foreign thief and a slave escaped from pale Northern invaders as these two are drawn into the world's first great war.
In a switch on typical roles, it's the foreign thief who's black, rather than the slave. Uruk, a sub-Saharan African, swashbuckles his way through exotic temples Conan-style, stealing magical jewels and rescuing virgins, while the enslaved Anders plans his revenge on his militaristic masters. With a driving plot and an excellent eye for living, breathing, tactile detail, author Allen brings immediacy to this modern version of the Gilgamesh legend while keeping it in context with the rest of the not-necessarily-white world of thousands of years ago.
"9Tail Fox" by Jon Courtenay Grimwood (Nightshade, 260 pp., $14.95) takes place in the near future in San Francisco, which has always been "a city where the minorities made up the majority" in the words of protagonist Bobby Zha.
Zha, of mixed Cantonese, English and Spanish ancestry, is fairly representative of the city's demographics but very unusual in one way: He has died and come back to life. An SFPD officer mysteriously killed while investigating a supposedly routine break-in, Zha finds himself in the body of a victim of a 30-year coma.
Author Grimwood explains his character's resurrection in both spiritual and scientific terms, making "Fox" difficult to classify as either fantasy or hard science fiction. But the book is far too engaging a read to lend itself to a lot of serious analysis. As the now-awakened Zha fumbles his way to understanding the cause of his own demise, he encounters a crack-addicted kitten, a chauffeur with an astoundingly good armory of illegal weapons and a Russian oligarch willing to do anything — anything — to live. Alternately street-smart and self-involved, alienated and at home in the Chinatown his grandfather helped shape, Zha is a completely believable hero.
"Ragamuffin," by Tobias Buckell (Tor, 320 pp., $24.95). Buckell represents an important force behind the genre's change. One of a growing number of nonwhite authors writing fantastic fiction, Buckell hasn't let his fondness for rocket ships, wormholes and galactic empires keep him from populating his fast-paced, pulp-esque books with the descendants of Aztec warriors and Rastafarians.
"Ragamuffin" opens on a reservation reminiscent of apartheid-era South Africa's shantytowns. Though they were supposedly emancipated more than 300 years earlier, any humans not kept as pets by the alien "Gahe" are imprisoned behind the reservation's 200-foot walls.
Nashara, the novel's dark-skinned heroine, escapes to another planet, but the Gahe aren't the only aliens oppressing humans — they're not even the most powerful. As Nashara searches for other human freedom-fighters, she lands in ever-tighter corners. In one scene, she uses a giant machine gun to propel herself across the zero-G center of a dying space habitat.
While all this action's going on, the inner lives of Buckell's diverse cast range through the brittle self-justifications of collaborators to the fanaticism of xenophobes to the pragmatism and weariness of those dedicated to the struggle for human rights in a universe where we are very much a minority. Far from sci-fi's earlier all-white futures, light years beyond attempts to simply crayon in differing shades of characters' skins or give them Swahili-sounding names, Buckell's work deals with complex racial issues in a way worthy of the self-proclaimed "literature of ideas": head-on, with no visible flinching, while still managing to give its readers a rollicking good time.

On a very cold, snowy night we arrived to a warm welcome and a spacious and warm room. We had a light evening meal in the bar which was very tasty. A very comfortable bed BUT the green light on the ceiling is BRIGHT! If you are light sensitive this is a real problem. Unfortunately we had not brought our flight masks to deal with the problem. Someone was pacing about in the room above us until the early hours.
In the morning I had a massage and eyebrow and eyelash dye, all very good and at a very reasonable price. Do take advantage of the beauty therapy room if you are staying here, Charlotte is excellent. It made it feel like a holiday rather than just an overnight stop to break up a long journey.

Album: Courtney Pine, Transition in Tradition, (Destin-e)
Star saxophonist Courtney Pine returns to something close to the top of his form with a swaggering affirmation of his new "Afropean" identity.
While ostensibly drawing on a recent Sidney Bechet project, there's an autodidact's abundance of references here, from C L R James and Joe Harriott to reggae-infused Gypsy jazz and New Orleans R&B. The musicians are familiar Pine accomplices, with Alex Wilson and Omar Puente shining, while Stefon Harris on vibes provides a welcome foil.

Comment: Re:Could it be (Score 1) 255
I have never seen a Blu-Ray disk, and I am not too sure anyone I know has. You must live in the USA (not a device for connecting hardware).
The correct capitalization is Blu-ray. Also, are we going to argue the difference between disk and disc? Most (US) dictionaries list them as being the same. A disk can be defined as any thin, flat, circular plate or object or (when talking computers) any of several types of media consisting of thin, round plates of plastic or metal, used for external storage (magnetic disk, floppy disk, optical disk) (taken from dictionary.com). Admittedly, the BDA does use disc to refer to the media.

Number of problem banks fell to 865 in Q2
Tags: Bank, Bank failure, BNAM082311, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Great Recession
A government report shows the number of troubled banks fell for the first time in five years.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says there were 865 banks on its confidential "problem" list in the April-June quarter, or roughly 11.5 percent of all federally insured banks. That was down from 888 in the January-March quarter, the first decline since mid-2006. Those are banks considered to have low capital cushions against risk.
The FDIC also says the banking industry earned $28.8 billion in the second quarter, up from $20.9 billion in the same period last year. That marked the eighth straight quarter that earnings rose from the previous year. But it was the smallest gain in the past seven quarters.

August 25, 2011 7:08 am
It's good to know that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s list of financial institutions most in danger to fail is reduced than it was in last quarter. This is the first slide in 5 years. But the FDIC remains cautiously optimistic at the signs of development since the increase has been slow indicating that the banking industry is significantly affected by the financial crisis. There's more information here: Number of problem financial companies falls in 2nd quarter.

Extinct Animals
by E. Ray Lankester
This volume is a corrected shorthand report of the course of lectures adapted to a juvenile audience given by me during the Christmas holidays 1903-4 at the Royal Institution, London. The lantern slides which I used in the lectures have been converted into process blocks. Many of these were photographs specially prepared under my direction for the lectures, and are from specimens in the Natural History Museum. My desire was, as far as possible, to illustrate what I said by photographs taken from actual specimens. Some of these have come out fairly well as process-blocks. For several of the slides and figures I have to thank my friend and colleague Dr. Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of the Geological Department of the Museum, to whom I am greatly indebted for kind help in many ways in regard to these lectures.
Manual of Paleontology, for the Use of Students
With a General Introduction on the Principles of Paleontology
by Henry Alleyne Nicholson
Vol. 1 of 2
The present edition of this work has not only been entirely revised and largely re-written, but it has been so largely augmented by the addition of new matter, that it may be considered as to all intents and purposes a new book. In the former edition, the final section of the work was devoted to Historical or Stratigraphical Palæontology; but this subject has been entirely omitted on the present occasion, as it is most suitably dealt with separately, and it has been treated of in a general manner in the Author's 'Ancient Life-History of the Earth.'

As in the former edition, considerably more space has been allotted to the Invertebrata than to the Vertebrata, for reasons which are obvious, and especially upon the ground that palæontological students are, as a rule, much more largely concerned with the former than the latter. An attempt has also been made to give, as tar as possible, brief and general definitions of the more important and widely distributed families, or even genera, of the Invertebrata, as well as, to a more limited extent, of the Vertebrata. In carrying out this attempt, however, it is clear that it was necessary to make a rigid selection of material, based upon what might appear to be the relative importance of different types.
Prehistoric Times, As
Illustrated By Ancient Remains, and the Manners and Customs, of Modern Savages
by Late Rt. Hon. Lord Avebury
In the spring of the year, and only a few months before his lamented death, Lord Avebury subjected this work to a very thorough revision, making numerous additions dealing with recent discoveries and theories, and cutting out portions which seemed no longer essential. Besides this a number of new illustrations have been added, to replace or supplement those of the earlier editions. The book has been entirely reset, and, though the author was not able to pass the proof-sheets himself, every care has been taken to carry out his wish that the book should remain an accurate and up-to-date guide to the student of prehistoric times. We wish to express our thanks to those who have assisted us in the preparation of this edition or have kindly given us permission to reproduce their work in the illustrations. Williams Norgate. November 1913.
Strata Identified By Organized Fossils
by William Smith
The present age is distinguished by many of the most extraordinary discoveries that were ever unfolded to the human mind; and amongst them the discoveries in Chemistry stand pre-eminent. The most extensively useful part of this science has, however, been long before the Public, and contributed greatly to the improvement of various branches of manufacture; but the benefits of Chemistry have not yet been extended to the soil. Agriculture in this, as in most other instances, is the last to profit by any thing new. That easy analysis of the soil, which seemed to promise great advantages to the Farmer, by telling him correctly the component parts of the materials he has to work upon, has not been spread through the country, or even yet become an object of attention with many of the best informed Farmers, by whom the advantages of this science must be carried into effect; and while the theory is in the possession of one class of men, and the pra :tice in another, who have little or no connexion, it is greatly to be feared, that the culture of land may long remain without its expected benefits from Chemistry. In a similar way, also, the benefits resulting from the science of Botany, have been equally limited, and likely to remain so, until those who grow the grasses shall take the trouble to distinguish one from another, or until those who know them scientifically shall condescend to become the cultivators Nature furnishes the clue to each of these sciences, and to the most extensive application of their benefits. She has also given the Farmer other more easy helps, to much of the useful knowledge he requires. The method of knowing the Substrata from each other by their various substances imbedded, will consequently shew the difference in their soils. All this is attainable by rules the most correct, and easily learnt, and also the simplest and most extensive that can well be devised; for by the help of organized Fossils alone, a science is established with characters on which all must agree, as to the extent of the Strata in which they are imbedded, those characters are universal; and a knowledge of them opens the most extensive sources of information, without the necessity of deep reading, or the previois acquirement of difficult arts.
Extinct Monsters
A Popular Account of Some of the Larger, Forms of Ancient Animal Life
by Rev. H. N. Hutchinson
I have been requested by my friend Mr. Hutchinson, to express my opinion upon the series of drawings which have been prepared by that excellent artist of animals, Mr. Smit, for this little book entitled "Extinct Monsters."

Many of the stories told in early days, of Giants and Dragons, may have originated in the discovery of the limb-bones of the Mammoth, the Rhinoceros, or other large animals, in caves, associated with heaps of broken fragments, in which latter the ignorant peasant saw in fancy the remains of the victims devoured at the monster's repasts.
Handbook Series, Issue With Special Reference to the American
by W. D. Matthew
This volume is in large part a reprint of various popular descriptions and notices in the American Museum Journal and elsewhere by Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, Mr. Barnum Brown, and the writer. There has been a considerable demand for these articles which are now mostly out of print. In reprinting it seemed best to combine and supplement them so as to make a consecutive and intelligible account of the Dinosaur collections in the Museum. The original notices are quoted verbatim; for the remainder of the text the present writer is responsible. ProfessorS. W.Williston of Chicago University has kindly contributed a chapter all too brief describing the first discoveries of dinosaurs in the Western formations that have since yielded so large a harvest. The photographs of American Museum specimens are by Mr. A. E.Anderson; the field photographs by various Museum expeditions; the restorations by Mr. Charles R.Knight. Most of these illustrations have been published elsewhere by Professor Osborn, Mr. Brown and others. The diagrams, figs.1-9, 24, 25, 37 and 40, are my own. W.D.
Prehistoric Man
by W. L. H. Duckworth
In this connection, I take the opportunity of mentioning the discovery made a few weeks ago by M. Henri Martin at La Quina, of a human skeleton resembling the Neanderthal type but presenting (it is said) definite features of inferiority to that type. Another subject of vast importance is Mr Moir's recent demonstration (p. 106) of elaborately worked implements resting beneath strata referred to the Pliocene period.

by Geological Survey Of California
Vol. 2
Volume I of the Palaeontology of California was issued in 1864, the preface bearing date September of that year. It contained descriptions of the Carboniferous and Jurassic fossils by Mr. Meek, and of the Triassic and Cretaceous by Mr. Gabb, and is illustrated by thirty-two plates. The present volume is devoted to the Tertiary and Cretaceous palaeontology, and is entirely the work of Mr. Gabb. At the time the first volume of the Palaeontology was published which was also the first of our Keport it was thought that the whole of our material in this department of the Survey would be comprised in two volumes. Events have proved, however, as might perhaps have been foreseen, that at least three volumes will be required for the proper exposition of our palaeontological results. The Cretaceous and Tertiary invertebrate material alone requires a volume by itself, and for a third, and possibly a fourth, we have still such additions as have been made to the Jurassic and Triassic, as well as all the fossil plants of various ages, and the vertebrate remains, chiefly of freshwater and land animals, and of Tertiary age; besides these, are the microscopic fossil organisms, both marine and freshwater, which are interesting, and will require considerable space for their illustration.
Palaeontology, or a Systematic Summary of Extinct Animals and Their Geological Relations
by Richard Owen
Paleontology is the science which treats of the evidences in the earth's strata of organic beings, which mainly consist of petrified or fossil remains of plants and animals, belonging, for the most part, to species that are extinct.

The endeavour to interpret such evidences has led to comparisons of the forms and structures of existing plants and animals, which have greatly and rapidly advanced the science of comparative anatomy, especially as applied to the animal kingdom, and more particularly to the hard and enduring parts of the animal frame, such as corals, shells, spines, crusts, scales, scutes, bones, and teeth.

In applying the results of these comparisons to the restoration of extinct species, physiology has benefited by the study of the relations of structure to function requisite to obtain an idea of the food and habits of such species. It has thus been enriched by the well-defined law of "correlation of structures."

Zoology has gained an immense accession of subjects through the determination of the nature and affinities of extinct animals, and its best aims have been proportionally advanced. Much further and truer insight has been carried into the natural arrangement and subdivision of the classes of animals since palæontology expanded our survey of them.
Prehistoric America
by Stephen D. Peet
Vol. 1
America will make a work on Prehistoric America very opportune. The author has spent twelve or four= teen years in preparing such a work, and now takes pleasure in presenting it to the public. During this time there have been many discoveries; consequently many changes of thought. These discoveries and changes have had regard first to the Mound=builders problem. Some forty years ago it was held that the Mississippi valley must have been settled by a civilized people who had migrated from some historic country. Silver sword scabbards, iron knives, Hebrew inscriptions, triune vases, and other curious relics, were dwelt upon as proving this. The Mormon delusion grew out of an erroneous theoijy as to the lost tribes. Latterly the opinion has gone to the other extreme. The Mound=builders were savages, and differed from the modern Indians only in that they used stone and pot=tery instead of iron and tin for their weapons and utensils. This opinion, however, is as far out of the way as the previous one. This people inhabited the Mississippi valley during the same time that the Uliffdwellers and Pueblos did the great plateaux, and the civilized races did the central provinces, and constituted a cultus which differed essentially from any other now known to history. This is the position which the author has sought to establish in the first volume of the series. By taking this as the true position, we work both ways, carry the Mound=building period back into antiquity and bring it down near to historic time.
Prehistoric Man
by Joseph McCabe
Few phases of the scientific doctrine of evolution have a greater fascination than the long story of the rise of man from his primitive level of stunted savagery to the fulness of modern civilisation. During a period of stupendous length man wandered over the earth without even the rudiments of culture. Our present knowledge puts the dawn of civilisation, in the valley of the Nile and on the heights ahove the valley of Mesopotamia, at about 10,000 years ago. But man had then existed on this planet during a period which hardly any competent student would now estimate at less than 100,000 years. In that long night preceding the dawn of history were slowly shaped the ideas and institutions from which civilisation would eventually issue.

To trace the lines of this gradual rise, to restore the forms and the habits of the strange races of men who spread over the planet, to indicate the causes of their progress or their halting on the upward path, is the aim of the present manual.

A kindly reviewer of the writer's previous contribution to the Twentieth Century Science Series("Evolution") observed that it was so lucidly written that the reader might be tempted to regard the more speculative passages in it as established truths. This danger will be met, not by a sacrifice of lucidity, but by persistent care to distinguish stimulating conjecture from accredited fact.
An Introduction to the Study of Prehistoric Art
by Ernest A. Parkyn
As the adequate presentation of a subject like that dealt with in this work largely depends on the extent to which it is illustrated, an effort has been made to illustrate it as fully and variously as the limitations under which it is published would permit. The sources from which the illustrations have been drawn are acknowledged in the List of Illustrations and the text. I desire, however, here more formally to express my thanks to the Hon. J.Abercromby, M.Boule and the Institut de Paleontologie Humaine, Mr. G.Coffey and the Royal Irish Academy and Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Dr. R.Munro, Mr. G.Penrose, and M.D. Peyrony: to the Societe dAnthropologie de Paris, the Society of Antiquaries, the Royal Archseological Institute, the Somerset Archaeological Society, the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies, and the British Museum. Illustration of the Palaeolithic section has been facilitated by M.S. Reinach kindly consenting to my drawing considerably from his R(pertoire de tArt Quaternaire, and by M.J. Dechelette spublishers supplying cliches from his invaluable Manuel dArchologie. My indebtedness to LAnthropologie, in which so much on Palaeolithic Art has first appeared, goes without saying. Throughout I have griven references in notes to enable the reader, if he so desire, to find the original and further illustrations, and the student to follow up in the original sources any subject in which he may be interested.

Its specimens vary in size fi-om small shells to skulls and entire skeletons several feet in diameter. It wilt fill the shelves of a cabinet room twenty feet square. Each specimen is accompanied hj a handsome printed kbei, and the display and graphic effect of the whole is very great. To still further augment this display, there have been added three huge specimens, which are hitended to stand independently on pedestals in the middle of the room. One of these the Glyptodon, or great Fossil Armadillo is nine feet long and about four feet high. These three specimens form a SuppUment which may be taken with the cabinet, or may be omitted, as the purchaser elects. The price of this entire Academy series, carefully boxed, and delivered at the Koclioster freight office, is$500. The price without the supplement is 300. College Series. This series consists of three hundred and thirty specimens, chosen like the preceding series, among the most noteworthy forma in the whole range of Fossil Organisms. The natural classes and orders are all here represented by copies of the most celebrated Fossils the originals of which form the scientific treasures of Royal Museums, and are single and unique. The series commences with some rare human remains including the famous Fossil human skeleton from Guadaloupe and continues throiigh all the classes of the Vertebrates, and then through the four sub-kingdoms of the Invertebrates, introducing every form and name of which the student in the highest course of geological teaching is ever likely to hear. Besides the individual forms there are small suites of the Oasts which illustiute particular families of Fossils, as among the Trilobites, Ammonites, Bi aehiopoda, Echinoidea, Crinoidea and Foramenifera. This series is so full and extensive that it may be arranged by itself in the Museum Hall, forming a complete Geological Cabinet, or it may be worked in in the classification with such actual Fossils as the College may possess. The series of itself will quite (ill the shelves of a cabinet hall thirty by forty feet in size, some of the larger specimens Glyptodon, Mastodon, Deinotherium and Diprotodon standing on distinct pedestals in the central area.

by Geological Survey Of California
Vol. 1
As it is presumed that the volumes of Palæontology, forming a part of the series of publications of the State Geological Survey of California, will come into the hands of persons who will not have the other parts of the work, it is deemed proper to preface this volume by a brief notice of the origin and organization of this Survey. This subject will be entered into more fully in the first volume of the geological portion of the Report; but it is suitable that a sufficient account of the course and plan of operations of the Survey should be prefixed to the first volume of each separate department, to enable those consulting the publications in that department to understand the scope of the work, and to give due credit to those engaged in bringing together the materials, of the special working up of which this volume is the first instalment.
A History of British Fossil
Mammals, and Birds
by Richard Owen
"There is in the world no kind of knowledge, whereby any part of Truth is seen, but we justly account it precious; yea, that Principal Truth, in comparison whereof all other knowledge is vile, may receive from it some kind of light; whether it be that Egyptian and Chaldean wisdom Mathematical, wherewith Moses and Daniel were furnished; or that Natural, Moral, and Civil wisdom, wherein Solomon excelled all men; or that Rational and Oratorial wisdom of the Grecians, which the Apostle St. Paul brought from Tarsus; or that Judaical, which he learned in Jerusalem, sitting at the feet of Gamaliel: To detract from the dignity thereof, were to injure even God himself, who being that Light which none can approach unto, hath sent out these lights whereof we are capable, even as so many sparkles resembling the bright Fountain from which they rise."-Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity, Book iii. fol. 1705, p. 137.
Post-Pleiocene Fossils of South-Carolina
by Francis S. Holmes
Extracts from the papers included in this volume were published in pamphlet form, March 1 st, 1858; but the edition was soon exhausted. The discovery of fossil bones and teeth which could not be distinguished from similar parts of recent domestic animals, excited general attention, and the subject was freely discussed in the public press both at home and abroad. In April, 1859, additional evidence of the age of the beds from which these fossils were obtained, was afforded by the discovery of a fragment of Indian pottery associated with the bones and teeth of mastodon, horse, deer, etc., (Plate XIX and Xx.) These specimens were taken to Philadelphia, and submitted to the inspection of the members of the Academy of IVatural Sciences, at a meeting held July 12 th, and jmblished in their proceedings of that evening, page 177. The subject caused considerable speculation, and it was concluded to republish in part what had already appeared in tlie pamphlet issued in 1858. A description of the geological formations or beds in which these remains have been obtained, etc., etc., will be found in the introduction to this volume. Acknowledgments. In acknowledging our obligations to friends who have kindly assisted us whilst engaged mthe preparation of this work, the first place is due to Prof Joseph Leidy, the eminent anatomist of the University of Pennsylvania, for devoting so much of his valuable time and talents to our aid in describing the vertebrata; his kind attention to our interest places us under profound obligations to him. To Major A.H. Bowman, U.S. A., Chief of the Architectural Bureau at Washington, we are under particular obligations for the use of his valuable and rare collection of fossils from the Ashley beds, and for the deep interest he has always evinced in our work. Our sincere thanks are also gratefully tendered to the following gentlemen, from whom we have received many kind favors: Dr. Edmund Ravenel, of the Grove, St. Thomas; Henry W.Ravenel, Esq., of Aiken, S.

If we look with wonder upon the great remains of human works, such as the columns of Palmyra, broken in the midst of the desert; the temples of Pyestum, beautiful in the decay of twenty centuries; or the mutilated fragments of Greek sculpture in the Acropolis of Athens, or in our own museums, as proofs of the genius of artists, and power and riches of nations now past away; with how much deeper feeling of admiration must we consider those grand monuments of nature which mark the revolutions of the Globe; continents broken into islands; one land prodnced, another destroyed; the bottom of the ocean become a fertile soil; whole races of animals extinct, and the bones and exuviae of one class covered with the remains of another, and upon the graves of past generations the marble or rocky tomb, as it were, of a former animated world; new generations rising, and order and harmony established, and a system of life and beauty produced out of chaos and death; proving the infinite power, wisdom, and goodness of the Gkeat Cause of all things!

Prehistoric India
by Stuart Piggott
This book renders an account of our knowledge of Indian prehistory from the earliest times to the settlement of the Aryans in the north-west in the second half of the second millennium B.C. It does not pretend to be more than a stocktaking of our incomplete evidence and interpretation, as a preliminary and incentive to further work in the field. Some form of working hypothesis is essential, however drastically it may have to be revised, and I have therefore attempted to indicate what seem to me to be the nature and succession of the various human cultures making up the pattern of the earliest India.

Much of the material presented in the book is either new and hitherto unpublished or is a synthesis made for the first time. It is therefore inevitable that a great deal of technical detail has to be included, and much of the argument addressed to the specialist in oriental archaeology. But despite this, it is hoped that a coherent story of the general course of events in prehistoric India has been presented to the non-specialist reader.

The original work on which Chapters IV to VI are based was carried out in Indian museums (and to a very limited extent in the field) between 1942 and 1945 in the intervals of military intelligence duties. My gratitude is due to my friends on the Archaeological Survey of India who helped and encouraged me, notably the late Rao Bahadur Dikshit, formerly Director-General of the Survey, and Dr K. N. Puri. In 1944 Dr (now Professor) R. E. Mortimer Wheeler was appointed Director-General, and while we were both in India and since my return to Britain he has spared neither time nor trouble in giving me every assistance. It is a pleasant duty to record my gratitude here.

He has supplied me with many of the most beautiful of the illustrations that llumine these pages and has assisted the work in many ways. I would also express my gratitude to Miss Margaret Wagenalls of New York, who edited the manuscript; to Prof. Dunlap of the Kansas State Jniversity, for his kindly criticisms; and to Dr. W.K. Gregory, Lecturer on Zoology at Columbia University, whose untiring efforts have brought the oook to its present form. I hope it may awaken a wide interest in the study of ancient life, and I thank my friends everywhere who are contributing to that end. Charles H.Sternberg. Lawrence, Kansas, January, igog.
Remains of Domestic Animals Discovered Among Post-Pleiocene Fossils in South Carolina
by F. S. Holmes
Under the above head you published, a short time since, a notice of the fossil remains discovered in the marl-beds of Ashley River, and included a short extract from a paper written by the distinguished anatomist, Professor Leidy of Philadelphia.

Your notice seems to have attracted general attention, but I regret to find by the letter you kindly sent me, that one of your correspondents is afraid the article in question may cause some misapprehension of the views of Professor Liedy in regard to the origin of the recent or existing species of the horse in North America. I have read with care the letter of your Philadelphia correspondent, and for reasons that will hereafter appear, I must, beg permission to reply to it.

Why should he infer from your article on the fossil remains of the horse, or from the extract from Professor Leidy's paper, that allusion was made to the recent horse? The opinion of Professor Leidy in regard to the origin of our domestic horse, is not alluded to; your remarks are confined to the fossil remains of this animal, and not a word is said about recent species, or those now in existence, The caption of the article must have excited the apprehension expressed by the writer, and as this heading may have been suggested by my note to you, inclosing the extract, I feel myself responsible for it.
Prehistoric Cliff Dwellers and Pueblos
by Stephen D. Peet
That mysterious people called the Cliff-Dwellers, have been for many years the objects of much curiosity, and are still regarded with great interest. Various parties have entered the region where their works and relics were discovered; some of whom have written interesting accounts of their own explorations, and two or three have published books upon the subject. As a result, the mystery surrounding them, has been to some degree dispelled; so that they can no longer be regarded as so obscure and strange a people, as they once were.

The most of the parties who have entered the field have come to the conclusion, that they were the same people as those who are known under the name of the Pueblos, and that they practiced a very similar architecture; the main difference between them, consisting in the fact, that they were situated upon the borders of the Pueblo territory and were here subject to the attacks of the Wild Tribes, which have so long infested the region.

The author of this book, who is the editor of the American Antiquarian, has taken this as his clew, and so has used a double title. He has given descriptions, not merely of the cliff-dwellings and their local surroundings and history, but of their distribution and varied relations. His position is, that the cliff-dwellings were permanent abodes, but were built at different periods; some of them at a very ancient date; others at a period which was not very long before the discovery of America.
Paleozoic Fossils
by Geological Survey Of Canada
Nov.1861. I. On some neiv or little-known species of Lower Silurian Fossils from the Potsdam Group (Primordial Zone). ByE. Billings, F.G.S. The fossiliferous rocks on the north shore of the Straits of Belle Isle, from which a portion of the species hereinafter described were procured, consist of the following in descending order: 1.Limestones. Reddish and greenish-coloured limestone, varying in some places to grey, with some red andgreen shale. The fossils are Palceophycus incipiens, Jlrcheocyathus Atlanticus, Ji. profundus, Obolus Labradoricus, Obolclla chromatica, O.? tingulata, Olenellus Vermontana, O.Thompsoni, Conocephalites miser, Bathyurus parvulus, B.senectusj Salterella rugosa, S. pulchella, andS. obtusa. There are, besides these, two species of Orthis and one of Orthisina, and numerous fragments of trilobites, apparently of several undescribed forms. The thickness of these limestones is 141 feet.2. Sandstones. Grey, red and reddish-grey sandstones, the lower beds holding pebbles of white quartz from the size of a pea to one or two pounds in weight. The only fossil observed is Scolithus linearis. Thickness 231 feet. These rocks rest upon the Laurentian, and their fossils show them to be of the age of the Potsdam group. They were examined by Mr. J.Richardson during the past summer. Another exposure of rocks of the same age occurs about three miles east of Phillipsburgh in the County of Missisquoi, and extends south into the State of Vermont, where it is largely developed, and constitutes the Bed sandrock of the geologists of that state. During several visits made to this exposure last summer, I could find no fossils on the Canadian side of the boundary-line, but several important localities occur in the immediate neighbourhood in Vermont. At one of these, 1 J-mile east of Swanton, a number of species have been found by the Rev. J.B. Perry and Dr. Gr. M.Hall of that town. These gentlemen are engaged in making a careful geological examination of the rocks and fossils of The following twenty-four pages were reprinted in 1864. See Preface.

Of course, I enjoyed "Dune", too - so what do I know? - 1:16 PM

I think Dune is a really good film that was unfairly panned by critics that were destabilized by Lynch's take on SF.
Most of the critics complained that the film was confusing... really, it seems very straightforward to me :) - 2:50 PM
