I have been reading so many posts recently about what to do with our genealogical treasures when we die, sorting and scanning photographs and documents, and photographing memorabilia. Then I received the most wonderful letter and package from Ginny, Bob Brouk's widow. Bob is the focus of my book To Soar with the Tigers. Ginny sent me a few of Bob's things that he bought while in Rangoon. I needed to make room in my curio cabinet for these items so they wouldn't be broken. I also knew I needed to photograph them to put into a scrapbook I plan to make this year of that kind of stuff.
The guilt over not finishing my scanning and sorting and documenting all my "stuff" has been simmering for a while and is coming up like a volcanic eruption now. It is time to take care of this, even though I don't plan to die any time soon.
I spent a good part of my weekend sorting through my boxes of memories. I sorted the stuff into boxes for person. My mom, dad, uncle, husband's mom, dad, husband himself, then myself and each of my kids. I tossed some stuff I just didn't need to keep, photographed and scanned other things. I still have many old photos to go through but it will get done.
What did I find? A picture of my high school sweetheart and I when we went to his Junior Prom. That was a blast from the past. So young, thin, full of life. Now…..well we won't go there. HA! My mom gave me her high school year books and a bunch of other items that I had to just box up until I had time to go through them. I learned a few things about her life I didn't know. I knew she was a good writer, but she could also draw. She gave me several reports and things she created in school, many of which had drawings. Gorgeous. Sadly, this gift did not get passed to me. I can only draw stick people. HA!
There are many photos from my husband's side of Lithuanian relatives that are unmarked. It is doubtful we'll know who these people are but I will scan some of them and post anyway. They are beautiful and who knows – maybe someone will see the photo and tell me who it is some day.
So if you are not going through your "stuff" to organize and label it in some fashion, think about doing so now. Don't let too much time pass and get rid of the stuff you really don't need to keep. It will make it easier for whomever you Will your belongings to later.

Choose Early Decision if you are sure that Franklin & Marshall is the best fit, or the Standardized Test Option if you would prefer that we not use your Standardized Test Scores in the decision making process. We encourage you to apply online to ensure your application is processed quickly and correctly. The Common App is now live. If you submit your application by Oct. 15th, F&M will waive the application fee!
As a reminder, to qualify for the fee waiver, we only need the student portion of the Common Application at this time. Your transcript, recommendations and any additional materials can follow later.
When it comes down to it, picking the college that you will attend is your choice.
But first, you have to apply.
How to apply
Do you already know that you want to be a Diplomat? If you want to live in our college houses, collaborate with our faculty, explore the history and vibrancy of the city of Lancaster, engage in research and travel opportunities, and be immersed in a community of diverse, high-achieving peers, then we encourage you to apply Early Decision to Franklin & Marshall College. Imagine how exciting it would be to know by the winter that F&M will be your future home!
There are two deadlines for applying Early Decision: November 15 and January 15 of your senior year. To apply Early Decision to Franklin & Marshall, applicants should fill out the Early Decision Form. Students who apply Early Decision I or II will be notified of the College's decision by December 15 and February 15, respectively.
Of course, F&M realizes that some families would like to have a sense of their financial aid eligibility as they enter into the Early Decision commitment. As such, we are pleased to offer families the opportunity to receive an early estimate of the need-based financial aid for which they might qualify. With this estimate in hand you can then decide as a family to proceed with Early Decision.
To discuss your interest in applying Early Decision or to learn more about the Early Decision Financial Aid Estimate, please reach out to your Regional Dean in the Office of Admission.
Students who do not believe their standardized test scores reflect their academic ability are able to submit two graded writing samples to Franklin & Marshall in lieu of standardized test scores.
Students choosing the Standardized Test Option will be required to submit two recent (junior or senior year) graded writing samples (creative or analytical), preferably from a Humanities or social science course. The samples should include teachers' comments, grades, and a description of the assignment.
Students may request that their high school delete their scores from their transcript. All transcripts for students choosing this option will be examined prior to their inclusion in the application folders, and any scores that are included will be deleted before applications are reviewed by the Admission Committee.
All materials, in electronic format with teacher comments (ex. PDF, Word) should be uploaded to the portal by selecting the SAT Option Writing Samples from the drop down menu. All materials in paper format should be sent to the Admission Office by FAX (717-291-4389) or mail (Office of Admission, PO Box 3003, Lancaster, PA 17604).
International applicants (1st year and transfer) are required to take the SAT I or ACT.
Testing directions for international students can be found here.
Transfer applicants using the Standardized Test Option must submit two samples from college-level coursework. Samples written in high school, jointly-written papers, and ungraded assignments will not be considered.
Applicants are encouraged to submit additional materials to supplement their application. Supplemental material might include musical performances, writing samples, or artwork. Please upload these supplementary materials to your web portal page after your application submission, following the instructions provided on that page.
Common Application Writing Option
In addition to the Common Application Essay, Franklin and Marshall also offers applicants the opportunity to respond to two prompts and provide the admission committee with further insight into the the students' goals, character, and potential to contribute to the F&M community.
Be creative and have fun. Use your responses as an opportunity for us to get to know you.
Prompt 1:On September 27, 1777 Lancaster served as the nation's capital for a single day. If you could do anything or be anyone for one single day, what would you do? (150 word limit).
Prompt 2:Why F&M? (100 word limit)
**Please note, responses to the Franklin and Marshall writing supplements are optional and located under "Other Information" on the Common Application.

Fans react to Teddy's win
WTOP's Andrew Mollenbeck reports from Nats Park.
WASHINGTON - Teddy Roosevelt has won the Presidents Race at Nationals Park, ending a streak of more than 500 consecutive losses to either Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.
The race occurred in the middle of the fourth inning Wednesday during the Nationals final regular season game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The game's very next batter, Washington third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, hit a homer leading off the bottom of the fourth for the home team's first run of the afternoon. The hitter after that, Michael Morse, doubled and eventually scored, too.
Teddy's triumph is the latest in a streak of unprecedented success for the Nationals.
They clinched their first NL East division title Monday and are bringing postseason Major League Baseball to the nation's capital for the first time since the Washington Senators lost in the 1933 World Series.
The sport was missing from Washington for more than three decades until MLB moved the Montreal Expos to D.C. before the 2005 season. The next year, the club began holding the Presidents Race, modeled after mascot runs held at baseball games in Milwaukee (where sausages "compete") and Pittsburgh (where it's pierogies).
For some time, there was a growing campaign by some fans _ and folks in high places _ to allow Roosevelt's entry to finally finish first.
Aboard Air Force One during a trip to Florida last month, White House press secretary Jay Carney playfully called Teddy's losing streak "an outrage" and also noted he was "comfortable saying" that President Barack Obama agreed with the sentiment.
Watch the race below:

Yeah, I noticed that. While I'm glad my Draenai racial will come in handy this tier, it's rather odd to go from Ulduar, with hit rating on everything, to TotC with expertise stacked to the gills. Peculiar itemisation.
The tier legs are a strange piece, honestly. Hit and SBV. Normally you'd think avoid them, but if there are no other pieces with hit around, perhaps not?

A quick Google search for keeping kids entertained shows just how tricky it really is. Millions of articles claim to have the answers, but in Ireland, we have one sure-fire recipe for happy children: walking
Where kids are concerned, tougher isn't always better. So unless they're hardy hikers already, its best to side step any tough trails up steep mountainsides and instead opt for places the whole family can enjoy.
Take Lough Key Forest Park in County Roscommon. Underground tunnels, high towers and a nine-metre high tree canopy walk. Perfect. The walk there is a self-guided tour, too, so the kids will be able to lead the way. TripAdvisor fans rate it five stars and say it's "Excellent all-round" and has "something to challenge the entire family".
As well as being in charge, kids always enjoy something out of the ordinary. Glengarriff in West Cork could be right up their street, then: mum of two, Emily O'Sullivan took her two tots there for a week-long holiday and was hard pressed to fit everything in.
"This area is one of the best I've been to with the kids," Emily says. "Glengarriff has a stunning nature reserve with a great range of walks that can be enjoyed no matter what the weather. We also explored Gougane Barra, a beautiful and remote part of West Cork, with a huge forest park… You can also join parts of the Beara Way walking route here, hiking up into the deserted hills with sheep scrambling away in front of you.
"One that the kids really got a kick out of, though, was the Ewe Sculpture Garden just outside Glengarriff. The walk is only one kilometre long, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen before with amazing sculptures, waterfalls, little bridges, and games along the way."
Across the island on the east coast, Wicklow's mountains lend themselves to dip-in-dip-out trots. The Sally Gap is filled with specific walking routes winding through coniferous forests and heather-packed mounds. The stroll beside Lough Tay benefits from little or no inclines and isolated stone-skimming at its end is great craic (fun).
Just over the mountain is Glendalough or as reviewers on TripAdvisor say: "like something you would see in a movie." St Kevin settled himself here for a period of soul-searching in the 6th century. The paths here are short, with boardwalks over the marshy grounds, and well-trodden.
Keep an eye out for the monsters, though. Kevin is said to have seen great fire-breathing beasts when he lived here alone.
No monsters along the Causeway Coast in Antrim, though. Just giants, as Emily and her two kids discovered: "The kids were quite small when we went to the Giant's Causeway, but what an incredible area. The walk down to the Causeway itself is a long one for very young children, but once you get there you can have great fun jumping from stone to stone while firing their imagination with tales of giants!"
As Sarah Nelson of Outdoor Recreation NI tells us, though, there's more to walking Northern Ireland than giants: "The stroll around Castle Ward [overlooking Strangford Lough] is gorgeous and there are loads of spaces for kids to run wild. Also, there's plenty to stoke the imagination at Carnfunnock Country Park.
"Kids also love winding their way around the world's largest permanent hedge maze at Castlewellan Forest Park. And you can't beat the beach at Benone, with over seven miles of sandy shore there's plenty of space for paddling."
There you have it. If keeping kids happy tops your "to do" list, just walk this way…

Last night Alexa Chung and the gang were out in force for the CFDA Awards in New York. It was an event for new haircuts as Karlie Kloss showed off her new bob and fringe and Dakota Fanning put her new brunette looks in a simple updo. Virginie Coutin-Clarins has also ditched her trademark blonde locks for a darker look.
Karlie Kloss seems to be dressing to match her new bob, as she abandoned her usual glamazon style and went for an Alexa-esque geek chic look in lace and big glasses. Whereas the real Alexa Chung layered lace on lace, with a white dress and a blue floral overlay. In true Chung style she wore a collar and messy locks, but in a very un-Alexa move she wore red lipstick to match her red nails to match her red shoes.
Allison Williams (Marnie in Girls) also joined the winter pales tribe in a peek-a-boo cut-out Peter Som blush dress with simple updo. Whereas Emma Stone opted for jewel tones in a strapless blue peplum top and a green sequin pencil skirt, both by Burberry. It was a night for the Burbs as Christopher Bailey was also a keynote speaker at the event and arrived with Em on his arm.
Dakota Fanning played it safe in a simple sugary pink Jason Wu peplum frock, not quite as adventurous as her sis and her Prada Judo Platforms. Christina Ricci tried out an adventurous new look in a Richard Chai Love revealing frock with plum lipstick to match the trim.
Other attendees at the fashionable soirée included Liv Tyler who went for blue printed shirt dress, Miranda Kerr who wore a peach maxi by Giulietta and Ashley Greene who wowed in a revealing black lace.
Now take a look down at their shoes ... Emma Stone, Dakota Fanning, Jenna Lyons AND Karlie Kloss seem to be wearing the same pointed-toe stilettos.
Look through the gallery above and let us know what you think...

Big cat 'stalked my children' says Gloucestershire mum
TERRIFIED mum Leah Doney has told of how she grabbed a pair of toddlers she believed were being stalked by a big cat.
She said the large, sleek black animal with green eyes was stalking her son Shyne and a friend's child near Stroud on Saturday.
"They were out of my sight for 30 seconds and my son Marley ran back around the corner and said "Quick mum, there's a big black cat", she said. "He was really frightened. I thought at first he was being silly but then I could see, he was frightened to death. The cat was about 15 metres away, down low, flicking its tail and looking at the children. When I walked towards them, it stopped moving and it just stared at me. I literally grabbed them and did not look back."
She said Shyne and his friend, both aged three, didn't see the cat but she and six-year-old Marley Stocks both believe they saw the big cat off Oak Drive in Rodborough at around 3pm.
She called police, who said anyone who sees what they believe is a big cat to call the non-emergency number, 101.
Leah, 25, from Whiteshill, was visiting her mum Cath Brown's house in Oak Drive and neighbours raced out to try to capture it on camera. They were unable to, but Gloucestershire big cat tracker Frank Tunbridge, who Mrs Brown contacted, said the dry weather may have drawn the cat to a stream nearby where deer drink.
"It may have been laying up in that area to keep cool, and might have been curious," he said. "We have to take this seriously – this behaviour has not been seen before."
Gloucestershire big cat author Rick Minter said deer fencing and scrub clearance could be sensible steps to take.
"Although scrub has great wildlife value it might help people's peace of mind if the area is more visible and there is less cover in that particular spot," he said. "Those are the sort of practical measures which happen overseas."
Police confirmed they had been contacted by a woman reporting the sighting.
Big cats in Stroud hit national headlines 18 months ago when footage of what appears to be a sighting emerged on the internet.

3 post ment. Why am I seeing all these stories? Is it because it's the silly season?
Readers respond to Tamworth 'big cat' picture
(With intense scepticism. It's so obviously either photoshopped and/or a cuddly toy. However there is a useful history of local sightings at the end.)
Spanish authorities are using night vision equipment to hunt for a panther-like big cat that has been spotted by residents.
More than half a dozen people have reported seeing the black "large feline" in farmland around Berja, just inland from the south coast.
Several cages containing meat and image intensifying cameras have been set up in an attempt to catch the beast.
Search coordinator, Jacinto Navarro, said on Friday: "From all the witnesses' descriptions it seems it is a black panther but we're not sure.
"This very morning, almond farmers called us saying they were stunned to see this animal walking around.
"They are worried because we are dealing with an animal that is dangerous in the wild.
"We guess that someone who had the animal as a pet let it loose in this area."
The area where the beast has been seen lies about half way between Granada and Almeria, about ten miles inland from the Costa Tropical and not far from the Costa del Sol.
Mr Navarro, an environmental officer for the Andalusia regional government, said there had been no reports of such an animal going missing in the area.
But the authorities were having to take it seriously as it was feared it could be roaming around the Sierra Nevada National Park.
The park is popular with walkers and the local government feels it cannot take any risks.
The "absolute priority" of the team of three environmental officers and three police was to catch the feline alive, he said.
Earlier, despite setting up two cages in the area with large chunks of meat inside, they trapped no more than a domestic cat and a fox, both of which were released.
On Friday, two more cages and two night-vision cameras were added.
If the animal is trapped, officers hope to shoot it with a tranquiliser gun and hand it over to a zoo in the neighbouring town of Tabernas which has offered to take it in.
I am assuming that last one could well be real.

This article is just beyond bad...
Research suggests big cats may roam the wild
Scientific research provides tantalising evidence as to the existence of big cats stalking the British countryside
The teeth markings left on the bones were analysed to establish which animals had feasted on them. In a quarter of the cases, it was found that the "tooth pit" indentations – markings made by canine teeth, as they clamp on the bones – caused by something larger than species known to exist in the wild, such as badgers and foxes.
However, as dogs' teeth can make similar indentations, a further analysis was carried out to look for markings made by carnassial teeth, used for shearing flesh and bone.
"At the moment, there are three I have found which are weighing in favor of the cat, so it is very tentatively pointing that way,"
he said. "All three are certainly wider than you would expect to find in a dog imprint. But we need to let the sample size build up before we have anything approaching a statistical basis."
That just sounds like so much kitty litter...

Agreed, the three usable samples look like big cat, samples that have been gathered from across southern England. Either the English are blessed with very placid dogs and cursed with an epidemic of big cats, or his methodology needs a bit of tinkering.

Nice bit of pranking (the photos are pretty neat):
Mystery of Epping Forest 'big cat' is solved
Two City of London forest keepers had quite a fright on Wednesday when they peered through the fog and spotted what appeared to be a black panther in Epping Forest, Essex.
Upon closer inspection, however, the pair realised it was simply a stuffed toy which had been left there from fly-tipping and placed on the branch of a tree.
Epping Forest staff later tweeted: "@WFGuardian #Bigcat found in #EppingForest! Sadly, this 'big cat' was found in a big fly tip, then left in a tree."
This isn't the first time fears have been sparked by 'sightings' of big cats in Essex, most memorably when a major police hunt was undertaken after a couple spotted what they believed to be a runaway lion, which was later identified in some media reports as Teddy Bear, a local woman's large domestic cat.
The 'big cat' was actually a soft toy Steve Atkin reported the sighting of a "very large animal … possibly a lion" to police officers, prompting a helicopter search involving firearms officers as well as a media field day on a quiet Bank Holiday Monday in August 2012.
But the hunt was eventually called off by Essex Police when it could find no trace of the animal.
Last year the City Corporation, which runs Epping Forest, collected over 250 tonnes of rubbish, 39 tonnes of which was recycled, from 731 fly-tipping incidents.
The City of London Corporation is offering a reward of up to £500 to any person (or nominated charity) who can give evidence that leads to a successful prosecution in court.

Post subject: Blue Mountains panther spotted again
(visit the page for a map of Big Cat sightings in New South Wales)
Weeks after the government declared the Blue Mountains big cat file closed, a Sydney father has spoken of a terrifying encounter with a panther-like creature outside his home.
Peter Russell told NSW Police he feared for his life after being stalked by a large, ''completely foreign'' feline predator at Riverstone, on the fringes of dense national park bushland.
It has been sighted at least 12 times in the Riverstone area over recent years. On Thursday, the member for Hawkesbury, Ray Williams, warned the government to ''rethink'' its position or face being ''accountable'' in the event of a tragedy.
Referring to a report, released in October, that dismissed the validity of about 500 eyewitness statements, Mr Williams said: ''I appreciate [Minister for Primary Industries] Katrina Hodgkinson might have more important issues to deal with but, in accepting those findings, she is ridiculing the many hundreds who have seen this creature.
Advertisement ''My wife and I saw this animal. People I know and respect have seen it. I have addressed the situation in Parliament and spoken broadly and openly about it since. If something awful happens, I'll sleep with a clear conscience.''
For decades, huge cats have been sighted by rural residents. Bushwalkers, tourists and locals say the animals resemble panthers.
A common theory is that the cats escaped from private zoos or a circus years ago and have since bred and survived across the three large national parks - Kanangra-Boyd, Blue Mountains and Wollemi - that connect across the mountains. But in the absence of definitive evidence, the subject remains a topic of widespread amusement elsewhere.
In a 1999 letter to then National Parks and Wildlife Service director-general Brian Gilligan, Department of Agriculture head Kevin Sheridan warned: ''The reports are becoming too frequent for us to ignore the possibility. To … do so could bring into question government's duty of care.''
Wildlife ecologist Johannes Bauer was later commissioned to provide expert opinion.
''Difficult as it seems to accept, the most likely explanation of the evidence is the presence of a large, feline predator,'' he said. ''In this area, [it is] most likely a leopard, less likely a jaguar.''
In 2008, then premier Nathan Rees admitted to being a believer. ''It is easy for all of us to dismiss these things … but if we're actually wrong then there is an altogether different set of scenarios.''
But today, the O'Farrell government has put its faith in the findings of New Zealand invasive species expert John Parkes, who scoffed at the notion in October, labelling the 500 eyewitness accounts as ''at best prima facie evidence'', saying ''large dogs, large feral cats or swamp wallabies'' were the likely candidates.
The latest eyewitness disagrees. On December 5, Mr Russell went to investigate why his neighbour's dogs were acting ''so distressed''.
He said, as he looked along the path that led up the street, a very large, broad, cat-like creature ran straight for him.
''This was definitely no dog,'' he said. ''It had a low rumbling growl. It was between knee and hip height, extremely stocky and very fast. I spun on my heel and ran back towards the house. I didn't know that I was going to make it to the door.
''My mind was completely thrown by what I had just witnessed. I thought I was a goner.''
Mr Russell made it safely inside and called Riverstone police.
''The officer laughed and I acknowledged her reaction was understandable,'' he said. ''But I also explained that if some poor kid ends up being taken, and I hadn't called, I would be left devastated.''
Ms Hodgkinson said that, based on the findings of Mr Parkes, the government would not commit any further expenditure. ''As far as I am concerned, the matter is closed."
But Mr Williams thinks his colleague has missed the point. ''I don't want a million dollars spent on any campaign, I just want some general acknowledgement that this is no myth … and for visitors to the national park to be armed with the knowledge that these animals could pose a danger, particularly to kids.''

One of my work colleagues lives between Nairn and Inverness, and he has a small holding with a sizeable number of hens. Anyway he supplies several of us with fresh eggs, but had to stop as seventy of his birds had been killed. He decided it was time to sort out the killer. Last week as he drove into the yard his car headlamps picked out a massive black cat, easily double the size of a domestic moggy. It jumped from the ground to the top of a fence post which is 9 foot high in a standing jump, then as he walked over towards it, it gave what he says was a guttural growl similar to the sound of big cats usually only seen in far more exotic places than Nairn.
I mentioned to him seeing a cat matching that general description when driving between Forres and Rothes over the moors. I genuinely thought it matched the description of a Kellas cat, and the example that used to be on view in Elgin museum.
I am of the opinion that many of these sightings are very large cats created by some freak of genes combining between domestic cats and true wildcats. After all, if you get a large cat such as a Maine Coon and it breeds with a wildcat, what's to stop this producing a very large and powerful feral species?

From the Crewe & Nantwich Guardian:
The beast of Acton Bridge
HAVE you seen the beast of Acton Bridge?
A reader alerted the Guardian to sightings of a black, big cat-like creature prowling close to the River Weaver.
The Acton Bridge resident believes a dog has recently gone missing in the area and other local animals have been injured.
The concerned resident wrote to Guardian and said: "My father-in-law insists that he has twice seen a large black panther like cat prowling near the boat wreck at the locks near Acton Bridge.
"He has spoken to a local man who says that a dog has recently gone missing and other animals have been attacked."
However, Nadine Pengilly, RSPCA inspector for the area, believes a panther strolling the countryside around Acton Bridge is very unlikely.
"I doubt it very much," she said. "If there was a panther it would kill all the cows and livestock down there.
"You do get some larger cats that could've been mistaken for a panther or big cat.
"I can't for one minute believe that there's a panther, I think it was probably just a big cat as otherwise there'd be a lot more damage.
"We do have lots of black cats though if anyone wants to adopt one!"

'Tiger' among big cat reports to Devon and Cornwall Police
A tiger sighting was among 10 big cat reports to Devon and Cornwall Police last year, it has emerged.
The animal was reported at an Exmouth care home in January 2013.
Another Devon caller reported a "wild beast locked inside a room" of his house, while a "large cat knocked something over" in the premises of a caller in Helston, Cornwall, last May.
The force has received a total of 220 reports since 2000, with numbers peaking in 2001 with 30.
The details, released under the Freedom of Information Act, also revealed a "hunting man" from suburban Efford in Plymouth called to say he had seen a puma.
Four other calls concerned dead sheep which had been suspected victims of big cats.
One caller in Torrington, Devon, said he had seen claw marks on the backs of two dead sheep.
Danny Bamping of the British Big Cat Society said he knew of 40 reports of big cats in Devon and 30 in Cornwall last year.
"In Britain 75% of the reports are of big black cats, but the unanswered question is what they are.
"There's no doubt in my mind that they could be black leopards, but possibly a hybrid of a wild and domesticated cat.
"In the UK we could have a unique big cat which I find quite exciting."
In the 1990s photos and video emerged of a large panther-like animal in Cornwall.
Dubbed "the beast of Bodmin" there have been reported sightings on and off for 20 years.
Devon and Cornwall Police were unavailable for immediate comment.

Oddly enough, I was discussing this very subject with my mum this evening!
I don't think you need to have large domestics to produce large kittens. My mum was saying that, back in the fifties, and living only a few miles from the edge of Bodmin Moor, she had a fairly small cat that had a couple of kittens, of unknown parentage.
One of the kittens, a black tom, went to live with her aunt, and grew absolutely huge. Fully grown, he was the length of a two seater settee when stretched out. Not massive, admittedly, but certainly considerably larger than a normal domestic cat. The other kitten was ginger and, although my mum never saw that as an adult, she was told that it had also grown to a very large size.
We were discussing the possibility of there being a remnant, or introduced, population of wildcats on the moors that were hybridising with the farm cats and producing these very large, black cats. Hybrids certainly do tend to grow much larger than the parent species; ligers being a great example.

OK, how about this: could you deliberately breed massive cats out of the domestic variety? Could you get a bunch of fairly large domestic kitties and keep breeding the biggest ones until the result after a few generations would be the equivalent of panther size? I don't know who would do this, mind you.

I reckon this might be possible. After all, look at what breeders have done with dogs.
Scary, though, as cats can't be trained and disciplined the same way as dogs. Make 'em big and they become a nightmare waiting to happen.

After reading the news snippet in the latest FT about the woman who was arrested for "experimenting" on cats and dogs for breeding purposes, I wonder if I'm on to something with this theory. Are there modern day Dr Moreaus abroad in the land?

How to Make Thrifty Halloween Decorations with Everyday Things

Amid all the Halloween crafts we have at FaveCrafts, I've recently been fascinated with Halloween Accessories and Decorating Ideas for this fun, and often expensive, holiday. Budget-friendly ideas for both accessories and decorations are so important this year, it seems. I shared in a previous post that I'm always last minute with my costumes - so I find that accessories are an awesome way to create something small that will add even a teensy bit of festivity to your outfit when you're running out the door. One of my favorite accessories are these Crochet Devilish Hairclips because you can literally pop them on and off depending on how you feel. Feeling devilish?
As a whole, I think we're all trying to pinch pennies lately, so spending that extra cash on Halloween decorations seems needless this year. However, nothing would scream "recession" louder than skipping out on the ordeal altogether! No we cannot! Look around your house and see what you can come up with, I swear it's that easy. Okay, maybe a quick trip to the craft store is also in order, but yes, you can save money doing this. Using simple and inexpensive everyday materials, we can create some pretty wonderful Halloween decorations.
A lot of times, we have the resources available to do great things, we just don't know how to use them. And as a result, we often resort to the easiest and most convenient option - which usually means it costs more money. Store-bought decorations are great, but if you're looking to save a few bucks this year, try making some of your Halloween accessories and decorations. You might even have more fun than if you just bought something generic! If you like these ideas, check out more Halloween Crafts.

Wedding Water Bottle Labels (42 items)
Water bottle labels are a great way to personalize an otherwise generic component of a wedding, especially outdoor events. We offer a wide selection of popular stationary designs for our personalized wedding labels, many of which are available in multiple color schemes.
Personalized Wedding Water Bottles
If you are having an outdoor ceremony or will be spending any amount of time in the hot sun – you will want to make sure that you are taking care of your guests. Their comfort is one the most important things you should consider – and you can easily take care of them in style by giving them more than just a plain water bottle!
Wedding Label Stickers
Labels can be used for more than just personalizing – they can be used as stickers help you complete your wedding theme and create a cohesive look throughout the whole event. Our water bottle labels can also be used as wraps to secure items together. Many of the designs would also be suitable for a variety of other events where you might need personalized water bottle labels.
Precautions With Wedding Water Bottle Labels
Before you purchase any water bottle labels it is very important that you check the dimensions to confirm that they will fully wrap around your bottles of choice. Also, be careful when placing the label on your water bottle, so you place it on straight the first time. Attempting to remove water bottle labels can leave some residue behind and you may not be able to salvage it once it has been removed.
Ideas For Water Bottle Labels
Some of our most popular water bottle labels include the Love Bird Damask, the Cherry Blossom and the Lavish Monogram designs. You can either let your theme or color scheme guide you or use your personalized wedding labels as a way to branch out and do something different.

More than three quarters of the consumers surveyed believe that alternative energy brought benefits, and a slight majority, 54 percent, would pay an additional 5 percent on their electric bills....
Dynamic Pricing and Low-Income Customers
Correcting misconceptions about load-management programs.
11-percent peak reduction, while the higher-income customers reduced their peak loads by 13 percent.
• PG&E SmartRate Tariff–California : PG&E deployed the first large-scale CPP program in North America directed at residential customers in the summer of 2008 for the six months May through October. The SmartRate tariff initially was offered to residential (E-1 and E-8) and non-residential (A-1) customers in the Central Valley town of Bakersfield and the greater Kern County region, which lies in the southern-most portion of its service area. The SmartRate program was offered again in 2009. By the end of summer 2009, the program had roughly 25,000 active participants. Results for both 2008 and 2009 are reported below.
The SmartRate price was layered on top of PG&E's default tariff. For residential customers, the incremental charge of $0.60 per kWh applied during critical hours on SmartDays, and a credit of about $0.03 per kWh applied to all other hours to maintain revenue neutrality.
Up to 15 SmartDays could be called over the course of the summer; in 2008, nine SmartDays were called. The critical peak period was from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. The incremental charge and credits were layered on top of the existing 5-Tier inclining block rate tariff.
Low-income customers are designated as those who qualify for California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE), a program in which low-income customers receive substantially discounted rates.
In 2008, the average residential customer across the nine SmartDays reduced peak load by 16.6 percent; CARE customers reduced peak load by 11 percent; and, non-CARE by 22.6 percent on average (see Figure 5) . Hence, the response of low-income customers was lower than that of the higher income customers, but still sizable.
In 2009, the average CARE peak reduction was 7.5 percent and the average non-CARE peak reduction at 22.7 percent, with an overall average customer response of 15 percent. Thus, the CARE customers in 2008 responded half as much as non-CARE customers, while in 2009 they responded one-third as much.
• California Statewide Pricing Pilot (SPP): In 2003, California initiated its Statewide Pricing Pilot (SPP) to help quantify demand response to dynamic pricing. The SPP included approximately 2,500 residential and small commercial and industrial customers and tested several different time-varying rates during the following three years. Although this pilot now is several years old, it's included because the results are widely cited and remain relevant.
The rates included a TOU rate, in which the peak to off-peak price ratio was roughly 2:1 and a CPP tariff, in which the critical peak to off-peak ratio was 6:1. The CPP-F rate had a fixed critical-peak period and day-ahead notification. Similar to the PG&E Smart-Rate program, the peak period was from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The experiment was divided into three tracks, two of which are relevant. Track A was designed to be representative of California's general population. And Track B was designed to be representative of the members of a low-income community in San Francisco. Track A was spread over four climate zones in California, and Track B focused on a single

Safe injection rooms for drug users?
In France there's an ongoing debate whether it's time to open injection rooms also known as shooting galleries. Those in favour say it would reduce risks of fatal overdose as well as disease by providing drug-users a as a place to inject and a clean syringe. Critics fear it could encourage drug use as well as local crime around the injection rooms.

The twenty-six-year-old Shostakovich composed his set of 24 Preludes between 30 December 1932 and 2 March 1933, roughly six years after his previous solo piano pieces, the Aphorisms, Op 13. Their directness and sharply defined characters are surely indebted to the huge amounts of music for stage and screen he had composed in the intervening years. At the same time, they showcase his newly evolving neoclassical style, already more than halfway towards the obligatory moderated language he adopted from the Fifth Symphony (1937) onwards. More practically, they served as vehicles for his own appearances as pianist. Since the first Chopin competition in 1927, where Shostakovich made a strong impression but was not among the top prize winners, he had given up thoughts of a solo performing career. But he continued to perform his own music, and from the late 1940s he also recorded much of it, including twelve of the Op 34 Preludes.
Strakhov's transcriptions may not be as well known as those by Dmitry Tsïganov for violin and piano, but they are no less resourceful. The pieces are transposed to suit the configuration of the viola, which is generally allocated the main thematic lines (though the fast waltz, No 15, effectively reverses the roles). The French titles are the transcriber's—the originals give initial tempo indications only—though they take hints from Shostakovich's notation when the character is less than obvious. The 'Mélodie amoureuse', for instance, picks up the 'amoroso' marking for the melody beginning in the third bar. The composer's own recorded performance of this prelude goes a step further, suggesting tipsy strumming in a late-night bar.

Frank eventually performed the concerto on 7 November 1876. Goetz wrote some last-minute advice at the end of October: 'How unselfish of you to spend such time-consuming hours on finger studies! I am quite ashamed and only hope you get pleasure from it. The first movement is not easy and makes most demands on virtuosity. On the whole I did not have enough strength, but you will. My music requires a Chopin technique as you find in his Etudes Opp 10 and 25, his Nocturnes, Scherzi and Polonaises. Brahms needs a Schumann technique.' Goetz's gratitude and modesty shine through in a final letter (4 November): 'I must think of you and your dear fists. You are thinking more than usually of me, but whether in a friendly way is another matter. Here and there a curse will escape you at such and such a nasty place, but when the wretched passages are under control once and for all, the orchestra is there and the interplay begins, hopefully you will still find pleasure in the music and the public in you.'
Hermann Goetz's Piano Concerto is one among many in the genre that have been overlooked, though it has had some welcome revivals in recent years. It is music which is grateful on the ear, and virtuosic in a more subtle than usual display of technical difficulties. Its themes are charming and their development imaginative. The scoring favours solos for oboe, clarinet and horn, while Goetz manages to shun the German nineteenth-century trap of dense orchestration (double winds, two each of horns and trumpets, timpani and strings). Above all, Goetz's music is open-hearted, possessing a freshness and optimism that belie his own appalling physical condition. His melodic gift shines through, while his harmonic language attempts nothing too adventurous, even in the wake of all that Wagner was doing at the time to break the mould of conventional thought on the subject. After all, by 1867 Tristan was already two years old, so too Brahms's German Requiem, the other work which impacted heavily on composers and audiences of the day. True, we detect the sound and musical language of Schumann and Chopin in the style, but as with all good music, Goetz's Piano Concerto ultimately bears its own identity.

What I mean is that I thought HETs were announced in place of a normal move, for example a ship at baseline speed 16 would do his move and then a ship at speed 24 would do his, and HET if he wanted to - as opposed to all HETs including those performed by ships which would normally move in that sub-pulse being declared before any normal movement occurs.
Another reason you might want to HET in a sub-pulse you aren't due to move is if you are stopped or speed 0 and need to turn a shield away or get weapons to bear on an opponent for the next firing opportunity.

What kind of scenario could you find yourself where you declare and cancel an HET in the same sun-pulse?
Actual example: I had a Destroyer in a hidden-objective multiplayer scenario where my target was a Fed Dreadnought. I'd pick speed 24, he was doing 16, and I'd lied my way into a firing position 2 hexes off his rear flank. He'd used most of his phasers but had fully overloaded photons (FA arc). My turn mode was unfulfilled - his fulfilled.
I took the shot, got average dice, but didn't knock out enough weapons to take on the (now rather annoyed) DN.
Now, if I kept moving forward, I'd end up right in front of his guns before I could turn off. I could decel and turn, but he could do the same and I'd end up in his front arc before getting to safe distance. So I had to declare a HET, and then run for the map edge.
HETs being a 'me too' decision, the DN could HET as well, and if he wanted to catch me, he needed to. So he did.
HETs are executed in move order, and so the DN, being slower, moved first. He turned to face my DD.
My best move then was to cancel the HET - the original plan, to turn and run, would get me 6 OL'd photons at range 3 or 4. Going straight forward put me behind the DN (his turn mode now unfulfilled) and gave me the running space needed to get away.

HETs are announced at the
of the sub-pulse - 2D2a - and executed during it in move order.

When playing FC, the emphasis is always on fun and getting a good game for me and my gaming group. If one of us makes a mistake and wishes to change it or forgets to do something such as pre-arming, etc. at the appropriate point in the sequence of play, so long as nothing has been done that depended on such a decision and so long as all players agree, we are usually quite lenient about it. We tend to find this makes for a better, more interesting battle as each player is allowed to perform nearer to his best.
Ah. My mistake - it was a battle you and I played where we did the big take-back, not at Exeter.
Bah. Still, we do play properly at Exeter, you know

Indeed, it seems I hadn't quite got that before but I think I get it now. HETs are declared before all movement in a sub-pulse occurs and this part works on a "me too" basis, and then HETs are actually resolved and performed at the moment a normal move would take place, if at all.

Just to confirm a few things:
- HETs are indeed announced, and paid for, at the start of a sub-pulse before anyone moves.
- A cancelled HET loses the power (since it is already paid for), but the ship does NOT use its "one free HET" bonus.
- If a ship is moving the sub-pulse an HET is made, the HET is performed in place of the ship's normal turn. The movement takes place normally.
- If a ship is not moving the sub-pulse an HET is made, the HET is performed in the same sequence as if the ship would move, but, of course, the ship does not actually move.
I think everyone has it, I just wanted to confirm that you do.

then the D5W would end up paying for the HET, and then paying not to perform it.
You do not pay "not to perform" the HET. You just lose the energy you paid to do it. It is not like a deceleration.

The inspiration behind the Op 114 Trio may have been the clarinet, but all three instruments are wonderfully integrated throughout—indeed, if anything, it is the cello that is frequently allotted the leading role. In the outer movements both main themes are initially given to the stringed instrument, and at the beginning of the work the cello is actually heard on its own, with a rising theme whose shape is perfectly complemented by the predominantly falling intervals of the second subject, in the major. This second theme, together with its accompaniment on the piano, is permeated by those chains of descending thirds which provide such a potent symbol of resignation in Brahms's late music: one has only to think of the opening bars of the Fourth Symphony, or of the third of the Four Serious Songs.
Between the two main subjects of this opening movement, the music reaches its first climax, approached by a brief series of rapid scales on the clarinet and cello; and it is these scales, sounding at first like the rushing wind, that are to stamp their mark on so much of the central development. At the end of the development the scales intensify to form a further climax, which, in a splendid inspiration, coincides with the start of the recapitulation. (The overlap is achieved by omitting the principal subject's initial bars altogether.) The scales make a distant return in the movement's coda, sweeping the music to a ghostly close.
The slow movement shares its aura of autumnal serenity with that of the Clarinet Quintet, and since it does without any equivalent to the Quintet's more agitated, gypsy-style episode, its atmosphere of profound tranquillity is more complete. The main theme, with its gently falling thirds, is clearly an offshoot of the opening movement's second subject. Eventually, the long-spun melody gives way to a contrasting theme of utter peacefulness, initiated by the piano over a murmuring clarinet accompaniment, which returns in a more ornate form in the latter half of what is otherwise a piece that gives the impression of a continuous, meditative improvisation.
The third movement is a Brahmsian intermezzo par excellence—a waltz of infinite gracefulness, whose easy-going atmosphere of charm is scarcely ruffled by a slightly more athletic trio section. As if all this were in danger of becoming too much of a good thing, Brahms abbreviates the reprise of the opening material, and then adds a quiet coda in a slower tempo as though to recall the calm conclusion of the opening movement.
In view, no doubt, of the intimate character of so much that has preceded it, the finale is a muscular piece with more than a tinge of the gypsy style which had fascinated Brahms so much throughout his life. Nevertheless, falling thirds are everywhere in evidence—not only in the rondo theme itself, but also in a passage following its varied return, where Brahms has them descending in a continuous chain through a span of two octaves—first in the cello, then the clarinet. This time, however, there is no question of a subdued close. Instead, the music gathers force and brings the work to an end of altogether symphonic weight.

If you are being accompanied or do not require any further assistance, please go to your airline's check-in desk in good time, check in your baggage and proceed to the waiting room for your flight. If you are using your own wheelchair, this will be given a baggage tag by the check-in staff. The wheelchair will, however, remain with you until you board. You can then pass through the security checks with your wheelchair. The Wheelchair Service Team will pick you up 30 minutes before departure in the waiting room and bring you and your companion to the flight door or your seat.
If you would prefer to be picked up in the public area in front of the security checks so that a member of staff can accompany you from here on, please go to one of the Pick-up Points, which are located in every terminal on every level. The check-in staff will tell you where the next Pick-up Point is, and how to get there. Our staff will then pick you up 30 minutes before departure at the Pick-up Point and accompany you to the waiting room or directly on to the aircraft.
You also have the option of going to a Pick-up Point after arriving at Hannover Airport and requesting a member of the Airport Service staff directly. To do this, however, you should arrive at the airport 2 hours before your flight and inform Airport Service accordingly.
The Airport Service employee will then pick you up at the Pick-up Point, check in with you and escort you and your companion to the waiting room or directly on to the aircraft.
Should you want to give in your wheelchair before entering the security area or only require a wheelchair for the section going into the aircraft, you will be picked up by a member of our airport Service staff with a Hannover Airport wheelchair.

Mathematics, one of the very oldest human disciplines, is an indispensable tool for analysing and explaining the world around us, providing us with the skills to deal with the most abstract concepts. Mathematics and statistics play a fundamental role in the sciences, in commerce and in every other activity where quantitative, analytical or logical understanding is important. Ultimately, mathematics is about clarity of thought and precision of understanding.
In the mathematics major, you will be immersed in a mixture of different topics ranging from linear algebra to data analysis and hypothesis testing, from the mathematics of counting and logic, to the techniques of calculus.
The range of units available has been designed to cater for you - whether you intend to become a professional mathematician or if you main interests lie in other areas.
For exceptional students, there is the opportunity to participate in the challenging extension work provided through the Science Talented Student Program or the Mathematics Special Studies Program.
For more information on the program structure and content, view the Science Undergraduate Handbook.
Major outline
When planning for a mathematics major, you generally need to take at least 12 credit points of junior mathematics units, in order to enrol in intermediate mathematics units for your second year. It is a good idea to plan ahead and have an idea of which senior units you need to complete, so that you can plan your junior and intermediate prerequisite units accordingly.
You will take at least 12 credit points of intermediate mathematics units, which are the prerequisites for your third year senior units. It is recommended that you include MATH2061, or the advanced version MATH2961, in your program.
To successfully complete your mathematics major, you must take at least 24 credit points of senior units of study from the mathematics subject area.
Differential Equations and Biomathematics
Fluid Dynamics (Advanced)
Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics (Advanced)
Linear Mathematics and Vector Calculus
Mathematical Computing
Number Theory and Cryptography
Optimisation and Financial Mathematics
Partial Differential Equations
Graduate opportunities
Graduates with mathematical skills are in demand in many areas, especially in business associated with financial services and information technology. They are needed in almost all scientific, medical, technological and industrial research.
With a major in mathematics, you could be employed in a wide range of organisations to interpret information and make forecasts and decisions. Statisticians and mathematicians can be found in major corporations and in the public sector, where their skills are essential for policy planning. Secondary school mathematics teaching is also a high demand area for graduates.
Even in areas where specific mathematical knowledge is not directly relevant, mathematics and statistics graduates are highly valued by many employers for their mental discipline and thoroughness.
Further study for major
Many mathematics graduates choose to continue studying at postgraduate level in order to pursue more specialised careers.
If you are interested in further study, you may wish to undertake an honours year and a subsequent postgraduate research program, subject to admission requirements.
Opportunities for honours and postgraduate research are available for eligible students in a variety of specialised mathematics fields through the School of Mathematics and Statistics. Honours research projects are available in applied and pure mathematics.
Completing your honours year is an important step in exploring your potential for a career in research, as it involves completing a research project in your specialised area, under the supervision of an expert in that field. If you do well enough, you might be eligible to apply for a research program like the MSc or PhD, where you can take your mathematics research even further.

True Green Home Book [Giveaway]
We're giving a copy of this book away to one lucky commenter below, so make sure to comment before midnight on Sunday, March 15, 2009.*
Just about a week ago, National Geographic released a new book called True Green Home: 100 Inspirational Ideas for Creating a Green Environment at Home. The book features, of course, 100 green ideas, as well as 10 company case studies and a resource index with links and a glossary. Oddly, I guess our site was good enough to get a free review copy of the book, but not quite good enough to get listed in the links section. But that's okay, we're still riding a high from being listed in The Gort Cloud … Anyway, True Green Home packages basic green concepts in a nice way — it's particularly helpful for starters and anyone looking for inspiration.
