Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick, gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far from a comprehensive list.
Freeciv is a multiuser reimplementation for Unix/X of the famous Microprose game of Civilization. By default, the game is an improved Civ II, but this can be customized; modpacks for near-100% compatibility with Civ I and Civ II are included. Multiuser gameplay is real-time: in each turn, all human players move concurrently. The game is designed to remain fairly playable even on poor network connections. Freeciv can also be played on standalone machines, and its AI players are a good challenge for beginners. The source code comes with the server, two X clients, and non-X clients for MS Windows and Amiga. Freeciv is released under the GNU General Public License. It is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there.
getmail is intended as a simple, secure, and reliable replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves email (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3, SPDS, or IMAP4 servers (with or without SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.
JExpress is a Java installer builder and auto-updater. It gives you your choice of a standalone installer, including both native and cross platform installers and updaters for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, or a Java Web Start one-click install. You create your installer quickly with your choice of a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface, both included. You can bundle the exact JVM you want with your installer. The auto-updater gives you a continuous revenue stream after the sale. Your software is always up-to-date, so your customers have fewer problems. You also get all the features you expect in a top end installer. Your Java application becomes a native program just like any other. On Windows it's an EXE, on Mac OS X an app bundle, etc. If you need something really special, you can customize your installer by adding simple Java classes. You can even get a source license at a reasonable price.

Scientists simulate Earth's creation to solve core problem
November 16, 2012
Using computer simulations, researchers from the University of California, Davis, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing have helped to solve a mystery that scientists have puzzled over since the early 1950s: What accounts for Earth's core density?
Their discovery: That Earth's core contains 0.1-0.8 percent carbon, the largest reservoir of carbon on the planet.
The findings were published this week in the journal PNAS Early Edition.
"We knew the density of the core, and we knew that metal iron and nickel alone couldn't account for that density," said UC Davis geology professor and study co-author Qing-Zhu Yin. "You need something lighter."
Carbon was one of the major missing light element candidates; others included silicon, oxygen, phosphorus, magnesium, hydrogen and nitrogen. To discover their content in the Earth's core, Yin and co-author Yigang Zhang went to the computer.
"We played with about 260 atoms to try to simulate Earth's formation," Yin said. "We assigned them their basic properties and let the quantum mechanics do the work in the computer. Now we know how to account for that density deficit."
An accurate knowledge of carbon's influence will help to increase our understanding of the Earth's age and the exact timing of the core's formation.
"It's about understanding the nature of the Earth," Yin said. "We're able to better understand the physical and chemical processes involved in Earth's formation."
The research was funded by Chinese Academy of Sciences.

We have family to visit in Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island. Any ideas on a place to park our motorhome for a couple of days since we can't drive it into the neighborhood? We will rent a car since we don't tow. We have airport as an option but looking for some place a little closer.
We have camped at the resort before but not wanting to do that this time. Paul & Debbie 2011 Via |

Sometimes a campground will rent you a sport in their storage area No hookups and you can't normally go in and out. It should be pretty cheap.

I thought I'd report what I found in the event someone else might have the same scenario. Public Storage is nationwide and has what they call "dollar deals" for motorhome parking less than a month for $20 subject to availability. There was one located near Sea Pines so I made a reservation for a spot and will rent a car or would bike if we had brought our bicycles on this trip . The airport was also my other option, but I think this will be less hassle.

when I see plants for sale in shops that have died because no one there could be bothered to spend a couple of minutes watering them, today I bought a spider plant ( was supposed to be some sensible shoes...but woman cannot live by shoes alone ;-) ) and it was as dry as a bone, many of the other plants were too far gone to save, but they were all on mats on trays so could easily have been watered. |

I so agree Rose, it is such a waste. Fortunately spider plants thrive on neglect. Wish you lived nearer - I have so many plants I could give you :-) |

I've been looking for a spider plant for ages, I had so many house plants which we sold or gave away before moving from Wales, so I'm pleased to get it in spite of the dead bits. |
Wend | Report | 31 Jan 2013 19:10 |
Yes, you must go back Rose. Kalanchoes root really easily. Just cut off the healthy bits and put them in a little water and they will produce roots in a week or so and you can pot them up. You should end up with several plants. I love Kalanchoes. |

Two weeks ago I bought a Christmas arrangement in a naff sparkly basket from a well known DIY store forb £1.50, this included a Peace Lilly plus 3 others. All of the plants looked half dead but I only wanted the Peace Lilly. Thankfully the Lilly is now looking pretty healthy as are two of the others. The third one is a bit iffy but I will wait and see. |

First of all Aldora, congratulations on your baby girl! There is no greater challenge than being a parent and there is no greater joy than those little moments you share with your baby.Parenthood is very difficult but the rewards are worth it! My advice is to take things one day at a time and do the best you can. As parents we never seem to have enough time, money or help, but we manage to get it done. How parenthood fits into our personal and professional lives is a bit more complicated. Communicating your concerns to your fiance and getting him to do the same is very important as you adjust to the new dynamic of your life. Good luck!
Let me be the 2nd to welcome you to strong moms and to congratulate you on the birth of your beautiful baby girl. That is wonderful news and it sounds like you are cherishing each and everyday with her. I love the advice that dad gave you, he is so wise! I want to add that the ability to be flexible and accept that things are not going to be perfect are two will help you immensely in these new weeks as parents. Knowing that you are doing the best you can do-and that is all that is expected of you may help with some of the stress you are feeling-and it's the truth! I hope tht you will continue to come here for advice nd support, we feel so lucky to have you as part of the community!

If a gun was purchased in my wife's name...
Arizona resident here and was just wondering if a gun my wife and I purchased in her name can be legally used as an EDC (concealed carry) by me without running into any kind of legal trouble down the road should the need arise to use the firearm.

Nope. Arizona doesn't register guns.
Some states tie carry permits to specific guns, but Arizona doesn't do that, either. In fact, they don't even require a permit.

You're right, my mistake. I misinterpreted what he said. To be honest the extent of my concealed carry is for walks with the dog around the neighborhood and such. I happen to live in an area of town that is not very friendly. Just last week while on a walk past some high school/college aged guys I distinctly heard the sound of one of them racking the slide on his gun...just as I pass the group of them. I was disturbed to say the least. I felt a bit threatened by it.

Every now and then (when its freaking hot outside and I'm wearing just a pair of shorts and t-shirt) I would stick my wife's LCP in my pocket rather than put on my 1911. I do miss that little gun for its concealability.
On the converse my wife now has decided she doesn't want to EDC a small gun so she usually ends up sticking one of my 1911s in her purse or IWB depending on what she's wearing and where she's going. In WI the way I was told by our county DA so long as the other spouse doesn't object to the use its legal since we're married/living in the same household etc. Its akin to a parent letting their child use a firearm for hunting/range use.
This is who we are, what we do. |

Hey, I can actually see an advantage to a man using a pink gun. Heck you wouldn't even need to fire the thing because the bad guy would become so distracted from his laughing at the sight of it that you could just run up and drop kick him.

The piano styling of Miss Jung- Ja- Kim will be heard on April 4th, at 8 p. m. followed by Henry Morgan, television and stage personality who will appear on May 9th at 11: 00 a. m. On May 23, former president of Springfield College and now Executive Dean for International Studies with State University of New York, Dr. Glenn Olds will lecture " On Making a Living and Making a Life." Veterans Must File For Exemption On Real Estate Taxes Town Receiver of Taxes Solomon Newborn reminded eligible veterans to file for their exemptions on real estate taxes before May 21. Eligible World War I, World War n or Korean War veterans should appear in person at the Department of Assessments in Mineola or at the Town Hall Annex in Hicksville to file for their exemptions, said Newborn. Veterans desiring further information should contact the Nas - sau County Department of Assessments at PI 2- 3000 or the Town's Veterans Advisor Joseph McCarthy at WE 1- 7630. Councilman Edmund A. Ocker, Chairman of the Town Board's Standing Committee on Recreation and Parks this week directed the Superintendent of Parks to investigate the feasibility of utilizing available land bordering the Wantagh- Oyster Bay Expressway for park purposes. The state- owned property is being offered to governmental agencies by the New York State Office of General Services. Ocker instructed Gerard Trot-ta to explore the possibilities that such available acreage as a 4.7 acre site east of Elizabeth Drive in Plainedge is under the jurisdiction of the Town of Oyster Bay and can be converted to general park purposes " With the high cost of land, especially in the Plainedge area, this might be an opportunity for the Town to obtain park land at a great savings to the taxpayers," said Ocker. Ocker also said that he instructed Trotta to check all the sites bordering the Wantagh- Oyster Bay Expressway including a 3.5- acre parcel around Doone Drive and Snarlington Lane, Locust Grove, and report to the Town Board for future action. " It we discover that this land is suitable for our needs we will promptly request the state to deed the acreage to the Town of Oyster Bay for development for park and recreation purposes," Ocker said. Will Fight Commuter Tax Lately, we've been talking to you about how valuable your phone is, and how little it costs to have one in your home: less than a quarter a day. We've also been talking about how you get more for your money than ever. For instance, 40% of the New York State calls you paid long distance charges for ten years ago are now local calls. And now there's more to tell. We've cut the one- time charge for color phones in half, from $ 10 to $ 5. And we're offering Home Econ- O- Call service, a new bargain plan that can save you money on calls within New York State. • That'sfor o three- minute, station- to- stotion call onywhere in the U. S. ( except Alaska and Hawaii), plus tax. Assemblyman Martin Ginsberg this week declared that he will fight any attempt by New York City to increase the Commuter Income Tax as proposed by City Finance Commissioner Roy M. Goodman. " Two years ago in my fight against the Commuter Income Tax," said Ginsberg, " I charged that New York City would not be satisfied with the tax rate permitted by the enabling legislation but would be back for more and more. If, what Commissioner Goodman said is part of Mayor Lindsay's thinking which I have no doubt it is, than my prediction 1 Besides all that, you get low night rates on interstate calls an hour earlier, at 7 p. m. And all weekend long till 7 a. m. Monday — 60 straight hours. And evening rates on interstate calls begin an hour earlier, at 5 p. m. There's also a special midnight- to- 7 a. m. rate every night: you can call anywhere in the country for 75* or less, if you dial rhe call yourself.* When you can talk about bargains like these while just about everything else seems to be going up, that's not bad. If talk is cheap, blame it on the phone company. New York Telephone Part of the Nationwide Bell System If talkis cheap, blame it on the phone company. K Page 2 unfortunately appears to be coming true." Ginsberg said that one way to stop the city from increasing the Commuter Income Tax, is for the Legislature to adopt the Curran- Ginsberg amendment to Article 16 of the State Constitution. " Under terms of this proposal by Senator Henry Curran and myself," said the Assemblyman, " any city, town, village or county over 125,000 population would be prohibited from taxing residents of any other local municipal form of government in the state. New York City, for example, would have the right to impose any tax it wished on its own residents but could not levy any tax, directly or indirectly, on the wages or other income earned by any resident of the state who happens to work in the city." " Without this amendment," said Ginsberg, ' the way is open to tax wars or tariff barriers such as exist in Europe or existed in our nation in its earlier days." Ginsberg said he has begun conferences with other suburban legislators of both parties to drum up support for the Curran - Ginsberg amendment and to set up a united opposition to any increase in the Commuter Income Tax. New Package In Bus Strike A tentative agreement on the part of the negotiating team of union leaders of the Long Island Bus Company on a new ' package' will be presented to the general membership on Thursday night at the Police Boys Club, Stewart Avenue, Bethpage. It is a different ' package' than the one voted down last week, according to a spokesman. After three weeks of a bus strike in District 22, parents and administrators hope that this will mean settlement. If it does, buses will probably not roll again until Tuesday, since Monday is a holiday and Friday would be too soon to make sure equipment is in working order.

Board closes out year with fees, grant
Ongoing water issues and youth outreach were the two Christmas gifts waiting for the Board of Aldermen when they met on Tuesday, Dec. 21.
After approving the minutes from two previous meetings, the board discussed a policy on sprinklers and water disconnections.
Mayor Chuck Cariker said that town officials had been asked if customers could disconnect meters at their homes and with their sprinkler systems during the winter. Cariker said the town charges a $50 reconnect fee in situations when the water has been turned off for nonpayment.
Alderman Eloise Carson asked if customers paid a fee for disconnecting service and reconnecting it.
Water bubbles to top of special session
A public hearing set for January 6 has been postponed for at least 180 days in the wake of a special session called by Mayor Chuck Cariker.
On Thursday, December 16, Cariker told aldermen Eloise Carson Jack Graves, Charley Knabb and Edward Hunsucker that he felt there were issues that needed to be cleared up before going forward with the town's water facilities plan.
"I just want to say this is not my plan," Cariker said, explaining that his role as mayor is to carry on the day to day operations and advise the board. "I'm not trying to force anything on anybody."
Boredom cures close by
Everyone looks forward to Christmas vacation, but after the gifts are unwrapped and the holiday food is eaten, what then?
It's probably too cold or wet to play outside and, if you're like me, maybe you start getting a little bit of cabin fever. So here are some ideas that can help pass the time between Christmas and New Year's.
My original idea was to include only free activities, but let's face it, a good time is going to cost you something these days.
Ted Poore takes on new role
Courtesy of the Madison County Journal
Ted Poore has been tabbed as the principal at Germantown High School, with Madison County Superintendent of Education Mike Kent saying the longtime educator and current Rosa Scott principal brings "instant credibility" to the new school.
The high school is scheduled to open next fall, but Poore will begin the process of interviewing faculty and staff almost immediately.
He will continue his duties at Rosa Scott for the time being, with district officials saying they hope to replace him at the end of the school year.
Poore said he was humbled by the selection and looks forward to the challenge.

Belle Glade, Florida is in many ways a horrible place.
Located in Palm Beach County, Florida on the shore of Lake Okeechobee, Belle Glade is a town where severe poverty is rampant. Grade school and high school education systems are among the worst in the United States. Violent crimes often triggered by gangs rank among the nation's worst. The town has one of the nation's highest rates of AIDs.
For the past four decades one of the few bright spots in this town of 17,000 people has been the Glades Central High School football team. This school, nicknamed the Raiders, has produced an extraordinary number of tremendous athletes who have won Division 1 football scholarship and gone on to play in the National Football League. This school is one of the nation's best high school football programs in terms of producing championships and supremely talented players.
This story of this town and its football program are told in wonderful and emotionally wrenching detail in a new book titled Muck City by Bryan Mealer. The author immersed himself in the town and culture. He followed the football team through the 2010 season game by game, emotion by emotion. He weaved throughout the history of Belle Glade, one of the nation's largest producers of sugar for the United States because of plentiful supply of fertile muck soil.
The school produced 35 players since 1985 that went on to National Football League such as Santonio Holmes, Fred Taylor and Reidel Anthony. The 2001 team spun out seven--more than any other high school in the country. Many more have played for major college programs such as Florida State, University of Florida and University of Miami.
This books stands apart from typical sports books because it is not merely a sports book tracking what happened to the team in a single season. It's a book about the football team and its town history dating back to floods of the 1928s. The book gushes with detailed stories about former players from the program and where they ended up. The book is special because it does not have a formulaic ending. It ends the way life often ends with a major strain of melancholy, borderline depression.
In sports books you often expect the team with the fantastic historical track record, despite the ups and downs of the season, to win the championship, the fairy tale ending. This book doesn't do that because it tells what really happened. The team lost in the state championship game. It was a bitter disappointment and the fans who follow the team-the same ones who have for decades who never wrestled themselves away from Belle Glade-don't react kindly to losing. Despite his two year record of 36 wins and 4 losses, typical winning percentages for this program, they blame the coach, Jessie Hester, because he didn't win it all. They turn on him as soon as he doesn't fulfill their vicarious wishes of yet another state championship team out of Muck City that can keep bragging about their one shining light: the high school football team.
Hester played for this team years earlier, enjoyed a professional football career, and had come back to give back to the kids. He coaching salary was $3,600 compared with over $600,000 to play in the NFL.
It's sad the book end ends this way but, like great stories, there is some hope. Before the final game, the team has an emotional locker room scene in which they express how much they have learned during the season and how they appreciate what their coach has taught them.
"The last time I cried I was in like seventh grade," said one player. "but I cried last night. It's my last time to play football with yall, and I love yall."
Another player said: "Ever since I got to Glade Central, football has been like a light, like an everlasting light compared to what I've been through in my life. This has been a journey I never imagined. I just feel like I'm living a dream right now."
And another player whose mother and father had died earlier in his life said: "I just wanna tell yall, if you got a mama just love her. I got to look at my mama and daddy in a picture every day and it hurts me to death. I just want yall to know that there aint nobody like your mama. There aint nobody like your mama ???cause when she's gone, she ain't never coming back."
Hester, who also grew up without a father who had abandoned his family, lost his job but accomplished what he had set out to do. He reached the kids. And there is hope that what they learned about life from him will propel them to better lives than they've known growing up in Muck City.
In the end, though, you are left feeling that Belle Glade will continue to struggle mightily. Hopelessness will forever be the prevailing mindset. The team's pre-game chant leaves a chilling sense that too much of more of the same is going to trap these people:
Do or die!
Better not cry!
We shall win!
They shall die!
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

As I predicted, today the Chicago Cubs elected to designate Chad Tracy
for assignment to clear roster space for Aramis Ramirez. Tracy will
float in limbo for 10 days, during which another team could claim him
or the Cubs could trade him. After those 10 days, he can accept the
assignment and head back to AAA Iowa (where he dominates), or elect to
become a free agent.
Cubs DFA Chad Tracy

It's quite an eventful week for the divas. First, they attended the wedding for Naomi Knight and Jimmy Uso in Hawaii, and now, they're partying with Brie Bella for her bachelorette party and bridal shower. The belief is that the Total Divas camera crew will be there this weekend.
Brie Bella and Nikki Bella have been pushing WWE officials to create a divas tag team championship, so that other female performers can have a better chance at the spotlight and possibly a second television slot each week on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
In an interesting move, NFL AM had the Bella Twins on the show this morning, and the twin WWE divas discussed the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brie Bella and Nikki Bella were chosen by WWE to represent the company at the Critics Choice Awards for movies, and a picture of the two WWE diva on the red carpet was uploaded to Twitter.
Torrie Wilson partied out in the islands for New Year's Eve, and the former WWE diva was nice enough to post a picture for us on Instagram.
Despite the media reporting that the MLB star was caught with anotehr woman in Miami, former WWE diva Torrie Wilson and Alex Rodriguez are apparently still dating, as the two of them were spotted at a charity golf event hosted by David Ortiz.
Maria Kanellis has revealed that the father of the Bella Twins has called her and instructed her to stop bad mouthing his daughters. The former WWE diva also revealed that her father has gotten into an argument with the twins' father as well.
It was a very telling sign to those within the company that Summer Rae was the only WWE diva chosen to make an appearance with the Bella Twins, both of whom are considered untouchable, at the Wrestlemania 31 press conference.
John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Big Show, Fandango, Great Khali, R Truth, Bella Twins, Summer Rae, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were all in attendance at the Wrestlemania 31 press conference in Santa Clara.
On Monday Night Raw, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were presented with the Diva of the Year award. The crowd was rather indifferent towards the two of them, as they were giving their quick acceptance speech.
WWE has announced the nominees for the Diva of the Year award, and the list includes AJ Lee, Bella Twins, Funkadactyls, Natalya Neidhart, Kaitlyn and Eva Marie.
Daniel Bryan revealed that he wants to do his wedding with Brie Bella the weekend after Wrestlemania 30 because they were scheduled for some time off anyways.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
The Minnesota Twins of the Major Baseball League has filed paperwork to oppose the WWE's attempt to obtain a trademark for the Bella Twins.
Torrie Wilson revealed that she recently had a chance encounter with John Morrison at the gym.
AJ Lee collapsed at a live event in London, so WWE officials had to come out to the ring and cancel her match.
MLB star Alex Rodriguez, the boyfriend of Torrie Wilson, was caught by the media with another woman in Miami.
"We definitely have our moments where we get along great but you will see a lot more of Eva just kind of being herself and just trying to get ahead without working hard. She has her ways."
Brie Bella has been spending a lot of time with Daniel Bryan, working to improve her in ring skills.
Torrie Wilson is said to have absolutely no interest in returning to professional wrestling or WWE at this moment.
Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Cameron and Naomi all went on the Steve Harvey show to promote the upcoming return of Total Divas in a few weeks.
Since WWE may receive heat for the incident, Brie Bella issued a public apology for her wardrobe malfunction, where her nipple was exposed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by motivator Best place at Waikiki beach
We checked out different places at Waikiki, but the SW is the best we have ever visited. Unfortunataly it is almost impossible to clear any Platinum Suite upgrade vouchers in March/April and August.
Fantastic lounge on 30th floor with politeful staff.
21. August 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by motivator a lot of trouble this time....
I got a very attractive room rate last year via spg.com.
Arrived at HNL and checked in at Platinum counter with a pretty unexperienced agent.
Next morning I realized (due to a message from cc bank) that Sheraton Waikiki ask for the authorization of an amount three times more the confirmed room rate.The next three days of my stay I had the pleasure with different front desk managers (e.g. Douglas.B)and they all promised to me to solve the problem. But even at check out I had to fight to get the confirmed room rate.(I collected the wrong invoices)
Seriously considering for an alternate hotel next time we travel to HNL.
My previous stays here were excellent and I really have no idea what's going wrong these days, but probably the certainty of a fully booked house all the year ...

Rated 5 out of 5 by BetsyPG1 Fabulous staff and service, amazing to Platinum guests!
This is my favorite Starwood property because of the stellar staff, amazing service and how well I'm treated as a Platinum member.
The Club Lounge is incredible, and the management and staff there is superb. They go above and beyond every day.
I love being able to give an "award" to my favorite staff member, and I think the management is doing things right by recognizing and rewarding excellent service. I wish all Starwood properties did that!
I pay more to stay at this property because it's worth it.

The location of this Hotel is excellent. As a platnium, I used the Suite coupon to upgrade and the Suite was awesome! It was a getaway for my wife and I but we had to go get the kids in the morning so that we could all enjoy the room.
Only negative was the check-in agent in the Preferred desk, she was very inexperienced and they need to place a more experienced people there.

Our experience working with the staff at the Waikiki Sheraton was delightful and stress free. When planning our wedding, Mr. Ritter walked us through the process and introduced us to Mary, Sheraton own marriage officer, to help guide us through the paper work and to Elaine Eckart in the Event Management Office, who planned and coordinated with the catering staff to give us the most memorable occasion shared with our friends.
Mahalo to Sheraton and their staff.

The 59 sound does not have a bad song on it, yet I've never heard any song from the album on the radio. I would love to here Casanova Baby.
The WERS Artist Of The Week is Brunswick, New Jersey based rock-band, The Gaslight Anthem! Their latest record, Handwritten, is out now and features the singles "Here Comes My Man" and "45″.
The Gaslight Anthem formed back in 2006 and is made up of Brian Fallon (lead vocals, guitar), Alex Rosamilia (guitar, backing vocals), Alex Levine (bass, backing vocals) and Benny Horowitz (drums, percussion). They released their first record, Sink Or Swim, a year after forming. The record did not receive much press from major music publications, the record did create positive buzz on the internet and from independent critics. After releasing Sink Or Swim, the band released an EP, Senor And The Queen, in February 2008. Their second full-length record, The '59 Sound, was released about six months later.
The '59 Sound proved to be The Gaslight Anthem's breakout album and it peaked at number 70 on the Billboard 200 chart. The record placed on eMusic and NME's best of 2008 lists and the title track from the record placed at 62 on Rolling Stone's best songs of the year list. A year after the release of The '59 Sound, Bruce Springsteen made a guest appearance during two of The Gaslight Anthem's shows in the U.K., which caused the band's popularity and record sales to skyrocket.
In 2010, they released their third record, American Slang, which debuted at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 26,000 copies during its first week. The record was met with positive reviews from critics.
Flash forward two years, and The Gaslight Anthem returned with their fourth studio record, Handwritten, which was released earlier this year. The band recordedHandwritten at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. The record debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Chart.
Needless to say 2012 has been a huge year for The Gaslight Anthem and it seems probable that the band's popularity will continue to grow and grow! What's your favorite album by The Gaslight Anthem? Let us know in the comments, and make sure to keep listening to 88.9 WERS to hear music from The Gaslight Anthem!

The term nostalgia describes a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.[1] The word is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting of νόστος (nóstos), meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain, ache", and was coined by a 17th-century medical student to describe the anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home. Described as a medical condition—a form of melancholy—in the Early Modern period, it became an important trope in Romanticism.[1]
In common, less clinical usage nostalgia can refer to a general interest in the past, their personalities and events, especially the "good old days" from one's earlier life. Boym[2] argues that nostalgia is more prevalent during times of great upheaval.
The scientific literature on nostalgia is quite thin, but a few studies have attempted to pin down its essence and causes. Smell and touch are strong evokers of nostalgia due to the processing of these stimuli first passing through the amygdala, the emotional seat of the brain. These recollections of our past are usually important events, people we care about, and places where we have spent time. Music, video games, and weather can also be a strong trigger of nostalgia.
As a medical condition[edit]
The term was coined in 1688 by Johannes Hofer (1669–1752) in his Basel dissertation. Hofer introduced nostalgia or mal du pays "homesickness" for the condition also known as mal du Suisse "Swiss illness" or Schweizerheimweh "Swiss homesickness," because of its frequent occurrence in Swiss mercenaries who in the plains of lowlands of France or Italy were pining for their native mountain landscapes. Symptoms were also thought to include fainting, high fever, indigestion, stomach pain, and death. Military physicians hypothesized that the malady was due to damage to the victims' brain cells and ear drums by the constant clanging of cowbells in the pastures of Switzerland.[3]
English homesickness is a loan translation of nostalgia. Sir Joseph Banks used the word in his journal during the first voyage of Captain Cook. On 3 September 1770 he stated that the sailors "were now pretty far gone with the longing for home which the Physicians have gone so far as to esteem a disease under the name of Nostalgia," but his journal was not published in his lifetime (see Beaglehole, J. C. (ed.). The Endeavour Journal of Joseph Banks 1768-1771, Public Library of New South Wales/Angus and Robertson, Sydney, 1962, vol. ii, p. 145). Cases resulting in death were known and soldiers were sometimes successfully treated by being discharged and sent home. Receiving a diagnosis was, however, generally regarded as an insult. In 1787 Robert Hamilton (1749–1830) described a case of a soldier suffering from nostalgia, who received sensitive and successful treatment:
" | ...In the year 1782, while I lay in barracks at Tin mouth in the north of England, a recruit who had lately joined the regiment,...was returned in sick list, with a message from his captain, requesting I would take him into the hospital. He had only been a few months a soldier; was young, handsome, and well-made for the service; but a melancholy hung over his countenance, and wanness preyed on his cheeks. He complained of a universal weakness, but no fixed pain; a noise in his ears, and giddiness of his head....As there were little obvious symptoms of fever, I did not well know what to make of the case...Some weeks passed with little alteration...excepting that he was evidently become more meager. He scarcely took any nourishment...became indolent...He was put on a course of strengthening medicines; wine was allowed him. All proved ineffectual. He had now been in the hospital three months, and was quite emaciated, and like one in the last stage of consumption... On making my morning visit, and inquiring, as usual, of his rest at the nurse, she happened to mention the strong notions he had got in his head, she said, of home, and of his friends. What he was able to speak was constantly on this topic. This I had never heard of before...He had talked in the same style, it seems, less or more, ever since he came into the hospital. I went immediately up to him, and introduced the subject; and from the alacrity with which he resumed it.. I found it a theme which much affected him. He asked me, with earnestness, if I would let him go home. I pointed out to him how unfit he was, from his weakness to undertake such a journey [he was a Welchman] till once he was better; but promised him, assuredly, without farther hesitation, that as soon as he was able he should have six weeks to go home. He revived at the very thought of it... His appetite soon mended; and I saw in less than a week, evident signs of recovery. | " |
In the eighteenth century, scientists were looking for a locus of nostalgia, a nostalgic bone. By the 1850s nostalgia was losing its status as a particular disease and coming to be seen rather as a symptom or stage of a pathological process. It was considered as a form of melancholia and a predisposing condition among suicides. Nostalgia was, however, still diagnosed among soldiers as late as the American Civil War.[4] By the 1870s interest in nostalgia as a medical category had all but vanished. Nostalgia was still being recognized in both the First and Second World Wars, especially by the American armed forces. Great lengths were taken to study and understand the condition to stem the tide of troops leaving the front in droves (see the BBC documentary Century of the Self).
As a comfort[edit]
Reliving past memories may provide comfort and contribute to mental health.[3] One notable recent medical study has looked at the physiological affects thinking about past 'good' memories can have. They found that thinking about the past 'fondly' actually increased perceptions of physical warmth.[5]
As a description[edit]
Nostalgia is triggered by something reminding an individual of an event or item from their past. The resulting emotion can vary from happiness to sorrow. The term of "feeling nostalgic" is more commonly used to describe pleasurable emotions associated with and/or a longing to go back to a particular period of time, although the former may also be true.
As a deception[edit]
One recent study critiques the idea of nostalgia, which in some forms can become a defense mechanism by which people avoid the historical facts. [6] This study looked at the different portrayals of apartheid in South Africa and argued that nostalgia appears as two ways,[2] 'restorative nostalgia' a wish to return to that past, and 'reflective nostalgia' which is more critically aware.
Swiss nostalgia was linked to the singing of Kuhreihen, which were forbidden to Swiss mercenaries because they led to nostalgia to the point of desertion, illness or death. The 1767 Dictionnaire de Musique by Jean-Jacques Rousseau claims that Swiss mercenaries were threatened with severe punishment to prevent them from singing their Swiss songs. It became somewhat of a topos in Romantic literature, and figures in the poem Der Schweizer by Achim von Arnim (1805) and in Clemens Brentano's Des Knaben Wunderhorn (1809) as well as in the opera Le Chalet by Adolphe Charles Adam (1834) which was performed for Queen Victoria under the title The Swiss Cottage. The Romantic connection of nostalgia, the Kuhreihen and the Swiss Alps was a significant factor in the enthusiasm for Switzerland, the development of early tourism in Switzerland and Alpinism that took hold of the European cultural elite in the 19th century. German Romanticism coined an opposite to Heimweh, Fernweh "far-sickness," "longing to be far away," like wanderlust expressing the Romantic desire to travel and explore.

Pasquali tractor with post hole digger?
What are the chances that using a PHD with my Pasquali articulated tractor will be a successful endeavor? The tractor is a relatively low machine. It has adequate power but is it too low or is there some other issue like stability?

Re: Pasquali tractor with post hole digger?
Pasquali's are very stable, but that stability depends on the tire/rim package. Regardless, they are more stable than most standard tractors. The challenge will be the 3 pt. hitch lift limit. Some models are better than others because of the tires used. If you are using high weight implements, ensure the tires are out as wide as possible and that the barrel is turning freely.

Re: Pasquali tractor with post hole digger?
A Post-hole digger works EXCELLENT on a Pasquali, the articulation allows hole to be dug with near pinpoint accuracy, (you can pivot left & right without moving). Change the lift location on the lifting-arms to the inside hole & gain several more inches of up stroke. I used a PHD on my 993 in a thickly-wooded area to create hog-pen, was able to fit in areas that a conventional tractor can't fit.

New Schedule - November 15
A new schedule reflecting the completion, continuation and beginning of various LIRR track work projects will take effect on Monday, November 15. Copies of the new schedule, which runs through March 6, 2011, will be available in timetable racks at western terminals and stations around the system starting the week of November 8. A preview will also be available on the MTA Long Island Rail Road website.
The new schedule will include off peak schedule adjustments on the Far Rockaway, Hempstead, Long Beach, Oyster Bay, Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branches. The completion of track work on the Montauk Branch will result in the restoration of several midday, weekday trains. Please review the new schedules for details of the changes that may impact your travels.
Save The Tigers
Take the kids to the Tiger Exhibition at Pier 17 (South Street Seaport) for a high-tech, high-touch, true story about a wild tigress and her cubs. If you take the LIRR you can save $4 on tickets to the exhibition. Visit our website for details about the discount and the exhibit. (There are no live tigers within the exhibition.)
Beat Holiday Traffic ...
New York's two big Holiday Shows, Wintuk – Cirque du oleil and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, will be starting in early November. These very special productions make for great family entertainment … and are worthy of becoming a holiday tradition for you and yours. The best way to beat the holiday traffic is to use the LIRR. Visit our website and you'll find all the details you'll need to enjoy both the Wintuk and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular shows … including discounted show tickets and free round-trip train tickets.
Falling Leaves Can Mean Slower Trains
The potential for Long Island's annual slippery-rail conditions (aka: SlipSlide) have arrived, along with our efforts to neutralize those conditions and their impact on your trains. SlipSlide-ing occurs when train wheels crush leaves on our tracks, leaving an extremely slippery substance behind. We remove excess vegetation along our tracks, scour the rails, and then add an anti-slip agent in areas that have been identified as being affected by this problem. When these conditions exist, we must slow some trains. While that can make some of your trains a little late … it keeps you safe … and that's our number one concern. Please see our video on this topic at our Facebook page.
The LIRR recognizes that our customers' Number One Priority is to arrive on time at their destinations. A combination of internal and external factors – a hurricane, a tornado, and a fire at a key switching point in Jamaica – led to a slip in OTP so far this year. We are working each day to improve our performance. September's OTP total was 92.37%.

These are the BEST mashed potatoes EVER! And they are so user-friendly because you can make them the night before. I never take these anywhere without people begging me for the recipe. Once you make these, you will never want to make them any other way. Also great in twice-baked potatoes. And, if you need really easy, buy pre-cooked mashed potatoes, add from these ingredients, stir, and re-heat in microwave. Tastes almost as good as home-made! My favorite way to cook these are in the crockpot! EDIT: Please note that I have always cooked these in the crockpot and have never baked them; I have gotten new feedback that they taste FAR BETTER if cooked in the crockpot, so this is now my only recommendation for cooking source.

I cannot fault Gramsford lodge or the staff. All very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. My complaint is with hostel world who we booked through. The price shown on the booking page showed breakfast included but when I received the invoice for deposit paid it wasn't on there and the staff at Gramsford told me that it had been at least 2 years since their price included breakfast.

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:One of historys greatest women, celebrated by her contemporaries, descendants, and biographers, comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by bestselling author Pamela Kaufman.
In 1137, fifteen-year-old Eleanor became Duchess of Aquitaine, a wealthy and powerful province in the South of France. Rich and influential in her own right, her tumultuous marriages thrust Eleanor into the political and cultural spotlight, where she would remain for more than half a century. Still in her teens, Eleanor married Louis VII of France, a sickly religious fanatic so obsessed with adultery that he kept his beautiful wife under lock and key. A lifelong rebel, Eleanor would defy her husband and the Church and eventually strong-arm the Pope into annulling her unhappy marriage. Once free, she thought to marry Baron Rancon, her childhood love, but found herself forced into another political marriage with Henry II of England, a ruthless soldier known as "the red star of malice." In Henry, Eleanor found a man whose iron will and political cunning matched her own, but the marriage was a bitter and brutal one, which escalated into open warfare when Eleanor backed their sons in an armed rebellion against Henry. Vowing revenge, he imprisoned her for seventeen years, hoping she would die in obscurity. But Eleanor would not go quietly. In prison, she wrote her memoir. This is her story. Synopsis:One of history's greatest women comes to life in this first-person narrative--historical fiction that evokes the passion, intelligence, and political savvy of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Synopsis:Many know Eleanor of Aquitaine's story from Katharine Hepburn's Oscar-winning role in The Lion in Winter and from Alison Weir's bestselling biography. Now readers will know Eleanor from another perspective in The Book of Eleanor, the only historical novel in print about this remarkable woman's life.
In a first-person narrative reminiscent of Margaret George's Autobiography of Henry VIII, Pamela Kaufman's Eleanor speaks directly to the reader, conveying with vivid immediacy her wit, passion, intelligence, and political savvy. And what a story she tells — of her political marriages to the fanatically jealous Louis VII of France and the cruel and ruthless Henry II of England, her longing for the nobleman who was her childhood love, her role in a long and dangerous crusade, her perilous involvement in her sons' armed rebellion against their father, and her long years of imprisonment during which she wrote, as Kaufman imagines it, this memoir, The Book of Eleanor. About the AuthorPamela Kaufman, Ph.D., is the author of the bestselling medieval novels Shield of Three Lions and Banners of Gold. She lives in Los Angeles.
