-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Russ Kick writes: H. G. Wells is best-remembered as a late-Victorian pioneer of science fiction, mainly due to his 1890s novels The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. He cranked out dozens of books in numerous genres of fiction and nonfiction, and 1945—the year before his death—saw the publication of his last two books to come out during his lifetime: The Happy Turning: A Dream of Life and Mind at the End of Its Tether. The Happy Turning is a slim, strange work that gets even stranger as it continues. Wells sets it up by claiming that sometimes he dreams about taking his daily walk and coming across a pathway he's never noticed in real life. Taking this turn (the "Happy Turning") leads him to the utopian Dreamland (a/k/a the Beyond), where his body is perfectly fit, where society knows no war, poverty, or inequality, and where his "subliminal self" lets loose with a flood of "cryptic and oracular" symbols. Wells then steps back in time to relate some dreams he had when he was young, including the one that "made me an atheist." Having read about "a man being broken on the wheel over a slow fire," the preteen Wells had a nightmare. "By a mental leap which cut out all intermediaries, the dream artist made it clear that if indeed there was an all powerful God, then it was he and he alone who stood there conducting this torture." Upon awakening, he felt that he had two alternatives: go insane or stop believing in God. "God had gone out of my life. He was impossible."

The Day The Sun Stood Still (With Full Moon Eclipse)
Today is the winter solstice; the solar nadir in the northern hemisphere. This temporal event in Spaceship Earth's rotations finds the sun take its lowest path through our sky and the daytime hours are fewest; the axis of light flips; a planetary New Year. This is an event that many wise people have encouraged us to recognise as the origin of our 'modern' festive experience. The word solstice derives from the Latin 'Sol' meaning Sun and 'sistere' which means to stand still, because this is exactly what it appears to do. Our sun, having clambered ever lower over the horizon since midsummer, seems to be disappearing, perhaps eternally, an experience which was no doubt a source of unquestionable anxiety to early peoples. When the sun was henceforth 'reborn' from the horizon, into a fresh cycle of light, there was much rapture and hedonistic release. It is not hard to recognise a common origin of the many religious rebirth mythologies in this event.… Read the rest
The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll: Building a Mystery
Site editor's note: The following is excerpted from The Secret History of Rock 'N' Roll: The Mysterious Roots of Modern Music by Christopher Knowles (Viva Editions, October 2010). Used with permission.
I like to think of the history of rock & roll like the origin of Greek drama. That started out on the threshing floors during the crucial seasons, and was originally a band of acolytes dancing and singing. Then, one day, a possessed person jumped out of the crowd and started imitating a god.
—Jim Morrison
Most historians believe that the Mysteries began at the end of the Neolithic Age (also known as the New Stone Age, roughly 9000 to 4500 BCE), making them one of the earliest cultural developments known to humanity. Coinciding with the development of agriculture, the rituals were designed to appeal to the grain gods of the Underworld by acting out their myths, which celebrated the cycles of planting, growth and harvesting.… Read the rest
American Death Cult Part II*: Welcome To The House on Maiden Lane
I arrived at Siobhán's new digs in late evening, after more than three hours of driving north through blustering gusts of cold air, along deserted Wisconsin state highways and country lanes, ringed with a seemingly endless succession of pale grey and weather-worn barns, silos and stubble fields of harvested corn, punctuated every 30–40 miles by the glistening plastic pillars of some shopping center, gas station or outlet mall.
And while the sterile fakeness of it all might seem utterly foreign on the surface, I was soon reminded just how integral a part of this place's heritage Death worship is.
When I passed the familiar gloom of the Lac Butte des Morts fens, I recalled that this place used to be Winnebago country, supposedly the prehistoric stomping grounds of Red Horn, the Ho-Chunk culture hero who freed the land from the tyranny of monsters hunting his people like vermin, and the native place of Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca, rival brother gods of the Aztec people who led their people from wintry Aztatlan in the north to their current patrimony in the Valley of Mexico.… Read the rest
Peaceful Countries Do Not Celebrate Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving commemorates the successful harvest and a time the Pilgrims gathered to give thanks, sharing a feast with their Native American neighbors, who had made possible their survival in the New England wilderness.
"Come, Ye Thankful People, Come" written by Henry "Dean" Alford, the gifted Christian leader of the 19th century and distinguished theologian and scholar, is considered to be one of the finest harvest and Thanksgiving hymns in all of the hymnals of Christian singing.
Writers and textbook publishers of American history have generally omitted or, if mentioned at all, glossed over historic accounts of genocide and inhumane treatment of American Indian populations.
The mythology of the American Revolution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights is a national story of great significance to the way the United States views itself.
The United States of America was founded on the fundamental principle of freedom of religion.… Read the rest

How Halley's Comet Has Changed History Over the Past 2,500 Years
Ancient Greek texts reveal the earliest recorded sighting of the solar system's most famous comet 2,500 years ago. Since then, Halley's Comet has repeatedly cameoed in history, getting credit for toppling armies, birthing empires, and even killing Mark Twain.
Halley's Comet is the most famous of the short-period comets, which are comets that complete their eccentric orbits in 200 years or less. It's the only short-period comet that's visible to the naked eye, and its 76-year circuit means it's the one comet that pretty much everyone can hope to see once, if not twice, during their lifetime. Because of this uniqueness and its often dazzling appearances, it's become something of humanity's companion throughout human history, popping up again and again in historical records.
Historians Claim to Have Found King Arthur's Round Table — And It Seats 1,000 People
Martin Evans writes in the Telegraph:
… Read the rest
Researchers exploring the legend of Britain's most famous Knight believe his stronghold of Camelot was built on the site of a recently discovered Roman amphitheatre in Chester.
Legend has it that his Knights would gather before battle at a round table where they would receive instructions from their King. But rather than it being a piece of furniture, historians believe it would have been a vast wood and stone structure which would have allowed more than 1,000 of his followers to gather.
Historians believe regional noblemen would have sat in the front row of a circular meeting place, with lower ranked subjects on stone benches grouped around the outside. They claim rather than Camelot being a purpose built castle, it would have been housed in a structure already built and left over by the Romans.
The Occult World of C.G. Jung
Via the Fortean Times:
… Read the rest
He knew that inside the temple the mystery of his existence, of his purpose in life, would be answered. He was about to cross the threshold when he saw, rising up from Europe far below, the image of his doctor in the archetypal form of the King of Kos, the island site of the temple of Asclepius, Greek god of medicine. He told Jung that his departure was premature; many were demanding his return and he, the King, was there to ferry him back. When Jung heard this, he was immensely disappointed, and almost immediately the vision ended. He experienced the reluctance to live that many who have been 'brought back' encounter, but what troubled him most was seeing his doctor in his archetypal form. He knew this meant that the physician had sacrificed his own life to save Jung's. On 4 April 1944 — a date numerologists can delight in — Jung sat up in bed for the first time since his heart attack.

Have you ever felt like you cannot wake up from bed, that you just can't do one more day and you find it ever so hard to pull yourself up and go about your daily routine. Well, I feel like I have reached that pause. And so when I got up from bed and realized I had missed out on several deadlines, I did not freak out. I did not freak out school-style,"Oh my God! Look at the time, what am I going to do, how am I going to......" Yada.Yada.Yada!
I thought, "STOP!!". I had always promised myself, if I hit this kind of a road-block, I will just STOP.
So here I am. I did not shower on waking up, I did not look for my phone, who cares where it is. I really do not want to talk to anyone, I do not want to cook, I will just get by with what I have on me. So I called my stand-by person. We all have that one person, don't we? If you don't, I suggest you get one. They take care of your meals and groceries for that pause of yours. Yes, it's a pause. I am on pause. Life is on pause.
Then comes the squealing voices from the outside, "What about your work?", "What about the classes, weren't you supposed to have gone for the interview today?', "You can still make it to the gym and get that tiny bit of a workout so that your day doesn't go waste"......
So it dawns on you that nobody's really listening to you nor do they care about the pause. All they want is to get something done out of you, squeeze you till what's all worth of you comes out of your soul.
But no can do. I said I've hit a Pause and it's a Pause so wait it out. I won't reply till am done here.
What have I been up to then? I quietly ironed a week's store of clothes, I washed some things I had kept for weeks and weeks. Quietly, therapeutically, there was no hurry. I enjoyed it. I hate ironing but today I was felt like I was in an ironing mood, not because I needed to do it.
I tried out whatever was brought by stand-by person. In terms of food. There was sweet potato fries, there was coffee from the local restaurant nearby. There was some stir fried veggies. And there was some bread. Bread generally clogs up my system. I think I am gluten intolerant and sure well, I did start feeling even more lethargic and dull after eating all of this. I popped in some cod liver oil and B complex, just in case. So I just got out two litres of water and boiled some of my herbs in them and I've decided that I am just going to sip it up, and watch 'Spanglish' on Romedy now. I've always wanted to see that movie. Also, I will try to finish up reading Tuesdays with Morrie. I have just the tiniest bit of it left and am done with it to start a new book.
I think that's quite a lot for a pause day but it will keep me occupied. My energy's been on an all time low and I wish my neighbour friend would come on and spend some time with me. She's the kind that doesn't talk much and I love having around but she never comes out of her house. A very quiet and beautiful soul. I would have liked to have spend some time with her today. Oh well!!
Stand-by person has also got me some sardines since I've gathered the ingredients from around the kitchen to make myself a very simple dinner. I can't do with any more take-out for today.
So have you ever felt like your system's on a total low, like you are going to come down with a flu and your system feels all clogged up. You are not really ill, but you really feel like you could be? What do you do?

This is a great introduction to The Unfinished Song series, I was afraid as it was brief I wouldn't enjoy it but I was wrong, The characters are deep, the cultures Tara Maya has created are beautiful but also raw. There are intrigues that keep you reading, the wealthy poor, magic, non-magic, fae human, exile, student, teacher, pariah, hero, you meet them all and more. When you reach the end you will be thirsty for the next book. I finished this in a few uninterrupted hours and started reading Taboo right away. I'd buy this series in a heart beat and will be watching this author for more of her delicious writing.

Continued from Page 1
Ticket collectors are of two types: Station Ticket Collector who is posted at a particular station and the other, called section squad, who switches from one place to another. It could be Guindy station one day, and Tambaram another day. Lady squads are assigned ladies compartments. Based on the factor of mobility, a station ticket collector is set a monthly target of Rs.12,000 a month and a section squad, Rs.35,000.
Beyond the regular hierarchy, stands a one-man squad who can swoop down on any station. Given this leeway, more is expected of him. He has to rake in Rs. 75,000 a month.
An official, on condition of anonymity, said, "The penalty for not purchasing a ticket is Rs. 250 plus the class-based fare. If a commuter travels first-class with a second class ticket, he is obliged to pay the remaining amount. And he will be issued a strict warning."
In the case of season ticket-holders forgetting to bring their passes, the squads use their discretion to penalise them or let them off with a warning. A few squads will take their ID cards and ask them to bring the amount the next day.
According to the rule-book, ticketless travellers should be produced in the RPF court. But it is practically impossible. "Those detained at the station have to be given food. That means expenditure. Hence, most often, we will let them go with a strict warning after collecting whatever they have and asking them to bring the rest of the fine money the next day," an official said.
When asked about the most persistent offenders, ticket collectors point to vendors. Said the official, "Besides travelling ticketless, most of them flout a major rule: not to sell any goods on the train." Probably, they subscribe to Cho's view on railway tickets.

Clinton Sparks - Watch You
Artist: Clinton Sparks
Featuring: Pitbull
Producer: Clinton Sparks and Disco Fries
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 5 votes )
After recruiting the likes of Kardinal Offishall, Pitbull, and Lil' Jon for his 2011 single Smash The Club, singer/DJ/producer Clinton Sparks has found himself back to work once more with a familiar voice. While Sparks provides the majority of lyrical content on Watch You, the multi-faceted musician and tastemaker recruits Mr. 305 for yet another braggadocios guest verse. Produced by Sparks and New York City electro/house duo Disco Fries, the single is a dizzying mix of up-tempo production that'll likely find itself a nice home at a number of Top-40 stations across the country. Ultimately, its Pitbull's added verse that gives Watch You a bit of the hip-hop edge that keeps the record from being a complete EDM party tune. At this time Watch You isn't attached to any larger project from the Get Familiar boss.

THG Asks: Will Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' Marriage Last?by Free Britney at . Comments
Welcome to THG Asks, a fun feature in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument!
Today, THG Asks: Will Kim Kardashian's marriage last?
YES by Free Britney
Kim Kardashian's wedding was scripted nonsense. We know this.
That is merely who Kim Kardashian is, though: A bland, better-than-average looking chick makes a living from her celeb status despite being expressionless as drywall and devoid of talent.
Nowhere in that job description does she have to be incapable of love.
I'll be the first to ridicule Kim's shameless attempt to kash in on anything. When I read that Kris Humphries' family was appalled at the spectacle of the wedding, I wasn't the least but surprised. But that's precisely why it WILL last.
No one would marry Kim Kardashian for her fame (and become a joke in the process). He's got his own money (and she's got a prenup). He's in it for the only reason anybody could possibly put up with this 24/7/365 charade: Kim's heart.
Congrats. Bring on the sex tape.
A moment Kim and Kris will never forget ... thanks to E!
NO CHANCE by Hilton Hater
There's no way Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries will last. Here's why:
The power forward is a free agent. Coming off a career season, it's unlikely New Jersey (his previous employer) will match his contract demands.
Neither will any other team in a major market.
The Los Angeles Lakers have plenty of size; the Knicks are keeping their salary cap options open for Chris Paul or Dwight Howard; Miami is enough of a circus without employing Humphries in the same city that is now also home to Reggie Bush; Blake Griffin plays the same position for the Clippers.
I foresee Humphries going someplace like Houston, or maybe Utah. And, come on, you can't honestly say Kim Kardashian will stay with a man who lives outside an entertainment news hot spot. It's unlikely Star Magazine could even find Salt Lake City on a map.
Indeed, at some point, the NBA lockout will end and, with it, so will this farce of a marriage. And we all know what that means: a divorce special on E!
THG Asks you ... will it last?
Remember Kris never new Kim was married before what makes u think he knows there's a sex tape he can't even speak rit he is slower than a snail " how u say ". aTool ..that marriage is domed but it seams like Kim just wants to one up her sister I mean 1 is married 1 has a baby now Kim can try for both and b one up on her sisters ..I give it six months and why did Kim wear white she not pure and this isn't her 1 time saying I DO ....why
Remember Kris never new she wasarried before what make u think he knows there's a sex tape he can't even speak rit he is slower than a snail " how u say ". aTool ..that marriage is dombed but it seams like Kim just wants to one up her sister I mean 1 is married 1 has a baby now Kim can try for both and b one up on her sisters ..I give it six months and why did Kim wear white she not pure and this isn't her 1 time saying I DO ....why
I give it1 year....max
i think it is him kim just want to happy but reggie put her down like 3 times and kris just like type of person that will put his hands on her he just want kim for money. and ray j did her the same way but kim did not know about them sex tapes but she did it any way just for the money
It might last, why i comment that? Because kris is the only nutt that will married her nasty azz. It sad that kim want to be married so bad.
Kim has been dying to get married again since her divorce...lol... i love her sisters (more real) but kim is so fake like her mother... sad. As far as Kris H, he looks and acts like a dumb ass, that shit will get old real soon... Kim over looked alot of shit just to have the spot light on her again... I just hope they dont put kids in the mix... just saying...
congrats may god bless their marraige and their future ahead
not going to last...its all for show
I don't think it's for show, but it's not real love. How do you go from Reggie Bush to this one that looks like he has F.A.S. and be taken seriously. I think Kris is gonna hang in there like Jada, Katie Holmes, Kelly Preston and all the other women that are married to money and fame. Better to be miserable and rich than happy & poor. Except he's the broke one!

If social media has replaced traditional forms of travel marketing, then Facebook must surely be the Holy Grail. In every sector of the travel industry economy, some of our best minds are advising agents and suppliers to jump in with both feet. I wonder if there has ever been a conference or even an industry panel discussion when someone advised their audience to stay off the thing. With all the Facebore noise, you would think that the number of users is growing faster than the number of delayed flight departures from Newark. There are, after all, just so many potential addicts for almost any social ill. In an article for Reuters, Vera Gibbons tried to answer the question "Why the exodus from Facebook?" Well, it is really not an exodus, at least not in the biblical sense; it's just that the number of active users in the U.S. seems to have declined. Perhaps, as Daniel Sieberg writes in "The Digital Diet," it is a simple case of Facebook Fatigue. We know that social media is now approaching an equal footing in terms of time swaps for television. The number of hours the average American now devotes each day to social media equals or exceeds the time he or she spends watching TV. My reading of my own collected "Facebook Files" tells me that the site's purpose boils down to a simple proposition put forth by its founder after six "hard years where we just sat at our computers and coded." Mark Zuckerberg thinks that knowing about other people and places is not really the focus of Facebook. He asserts that the core question for his corporate team is: "What do people want to tell about themselves?" It turns out that the most important thing we have learned from Facebook is how to harness people's inherent ego needs. The number of people who want to shout, "Look, here I am, and this is what I am doing" can best be illustrated by some of the big numbers. Start with the fact that one out of every 12 people on our planet has a Facebook account. In the U.S. that number is one in four. If you look at only the world's more advanced countries, you find that Scandinavia, plus portions of Russia and Eastern Europe in particular, have higher usage percentages than the U.S. On the surface, it would appear that any travel seller who takes his ball and walks away from this playing field, the world's largest, is a marketing zero. But the real question in our industry is just how much selling is taking place on Facebook. We see travel searches increasing rapidly, but credible examples of suppliers making serious money on Facebook are not easy to find. After myriad requests, Facebook allowed a few privileged tech reporters to meet with its vice president of engineering. Among the revelations arising from that interview was the fact that Facebook is generating 2.5 billion separate pieces of content and more than 500 terabytes of data each day. Your "like" click is one of 2.7 billion "likes" generated daily, and users are scanning just over 105 terabytes of data every 30 minutes. But there is no reason we should care about this other than the fact that Facebook is collecting more data than anyone could have categorized five years ago, and the company has dramatically increased the speed at which the monster can digest your data. Facebook can use simulation models of impressive sophistication to test sales messages, in particular ZIP codes, customizing advertising targeting down to a specific address. The argument against Facebook must conclude with security issues, some of which Facebook is trying to address. But for travel suppliers and sellers, we can bet the GDS on one simple fact: Facebook will take its "world's largest ever" database and sell it to the highest bidders. That will change the game -- and for those who want out, it will be too late. Your stuff -- your views, your travels, your photos, your family, your clients -- will all be out there, and your data will be transparent. Here are just a few practical reasons to consider whether Facebook is right for you:
Let me share with you what we've done at our firm. We have a letter we send to all our clients explaining that we value their business and their privacy too highly to risk communication via Facebook or other social media. This is how the letter ends: There are, of course, many other reasons why we feel that clicking "like" and calling strangers "friends" is both artificial and counterproductive. Recent research seems to support the idea that serious issues of privacy are raised when businesses open up their clients to exposure via social media generally and Facebook particularly. In the current climate, we are unwilling to do that for many of the same reasons that we no longer keep copies of your credit card information on file. Our real friends know how to reach us. We are always available for human conversation and immediate, live responses to your questions. We think, quite frankly, that avoiding human conversation and the nuances of speech, ignoring the efforts necessary to interact as only humans can with one another, is several steps backward rather than some great new future. You will never be a piece of stored data to us. That's not why we became merchants of dreams. We know that all the real "friends" of our firm will understand.

1. In a skillet heat the butter, add the duck and brown on all sides. Drain off the fat. Pour the sherry over the duck and remove it to a platter.
2. To the pan add the garlic and cherries, reserving the juice. Boil two or three minutes. Blend the potato flour with the reserved cherry juice and tomato paste and add, stirring, to the cherries. Cook, stirring, until thickened. The sauce should have the consistency of heavy cream. If too thick, thin with chicken broth.
3. Return the duck to the pan, skin side down. Add the bay leaf, cover with waxed paper and skillet lid and simmer until done, forty to fifty minutes. Arrange the duck on a platter and garnish with the cherries.

I've just started looking into my Grandmother's family. Philipp Quehl came to Canada around 1845-1850's. He was married to Charlotte Halberstadt also born in Germany, Dec 1835.
I'm interested in any information on this couple. They had a son named John (my G grandfather b. April 11 1858) I don't know any of their other children. THANKS!!

Boston Celtics ticket info
With the core of the championship team, including legends Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, traded away, the Boston Celtics clearly are now Rajon Rondo's team. But he's not expected to return from an ACL injury until the fall or winter. Fans in TD Garden seats might not recognize some of the new faces running up and down the parquet floor, but Boston fans are loyal so you can bet Celtics tickets will remain a hot item.
So who and what will they see? For the first time since signing Garnett and Ray Allen in 2007, the Celtics are not expected to contend for an NBA championship – or even the Atlantic Division title. General manager Danny Ainge blew up the veteran squad and acquired multiple draft picks in the process. They're starting anew in Boston, including rookie head coach Brad Stevens, whom Ainge plucked from Butler. The 37-year old Stevens brings optimism and enthusiasm to the bench, which fans in the TD Garden seats will appreciate. He's not the fiery leader that his predecessor Doc Rivers was, but Stevens is praised for his analytical mind and intense preparation. Still, there will be an adjustment period for Stevens who must get acclimated to the NBA and gain the respect of his players.
Jeff Green and Avery Bradley are the only two returning starters and much will be asked of them, especially with Rondo expected to be out early in the season. Green averaged 12.8 points per game last season while Bradley, one of the top defenders in the league, averaged 9.2. Jordan Crawford (11.6 ppg) is a natural scorer and he could have a bigger role this season, although fans in TD Garden seats won't be mistaking him for Pierce any time soon. Veterans Courtney Lee, Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger return and the Celtics picked up Gerald Wallace in the trade with Brooklyn. Rookie Kelly Olynyk caught the attention of many during summer league with his shooting and ball-handling skills. The skilled seven-footer will help sell Celtics tickets.
But the Celtics (41-40 last season) are going to struggle, especially without Rondo. You can't lose one of the top coaches in the game and two future Hall of Famers without a significant dropoff. Boston has a bunch of complementary players and Ainge knows its best days are a couple of years away. Ainge has made some bold personnel moves in the past – and most have been successful so he gets the benefit of the doubt. Fans should have patience. He's building a winner and those who buy Celtics tickets can witness the rebuilding process.

For starters, this exercise in GNU make was admittedly just that: an exercise rather than a practicality, since a simple bash script would have sufficed. However, it brought up interesting behavior I don't quite understand.
I've written a seemingly simple Makefile to handle generation of SSL key/cert pairs as necessary for MySQL. My goal was for
make <name> to result in
<name>-cert.pem, and any other necessary files (specifically, the CA pair if any of it is missing or needs updating, which leads into another interesting follow-up exercise of handling reverse deps to reissue any certs that had been signed by a missing/updated CA cert).
After executing all rules as expected, make seems to be too aggressive at identifying intermediate files for removal; it removes a file I thought would be "safe" since it should have been generated as a prereq to the main rule I'm invoking. (Humbly translated, I likely have misinterpreted make's documented behavior to suit my expectation, but don't understand how. ;-)
Edited (thanks, Chris!) Adding
%-cert.pem to
.PRECIOUS does, of course, prevent the deletion. (I had been using the wrong syntax.)
OPENSSL = /usr/bin/openssl # Corrected, thanks Chris! .PHONY: clean default: ca clean: rm -I *.pem %: %-key.pem %-cert.pem @# Placeholder (to make this implicit create a rule and not cancel one) Makefile: @# Prevent the catch-all from matching Makefile ca-cert.pem: ca-key.pem $(OPENSSL) req -new -x509 -nodes -days 1000 -key ca-key.pem > $@ %-key.pem: $(OPENSSL) genrsa 2048 > $@ %-cert.pem: %-csr.pem ca-cert.pem ca-key.pem $(OPENSSL) x509 -req -in $ $@
$ make host1 /usr/bin/openssl genrsa 2048 > ca-key.pem /usr/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 1000 -key ca-key.pem > ca-cert.pem /usr/bin/openssl genrsa 2048 > host1-key.pem /usr/bin/openssl req -new -days 1000 -nodes -key host1-key.pem > host1-csr.pem /usr/bin/openssl x509 -req -in host1-csr.pem -days 1000 -CA ca-cert.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -set_serial 01 > host1-cert.pem rm host1-csr.pem host1-cert.pem
This is driving me crazy, and I'll happily try any suggestions and post results. If I'm just totally noobing out on this one, feel free to jibe away. You can't possibly hurt my feelings. :)

If you're in the market for a new Xbox 360 Pro and a new HDTV -- and if you don't have to have 1080p compatibility -- Best Buy is currently running a pretty sweet promotion. Right now the store is offering both a 720p Samsung 42" plasma HDTV and an Xbox 360 for $899.98. If you'd prefer an LCD screen, is offering the same deal for an Xbox 360 and a Samsung 720p 37" LCD HDTV, which also runs $899. The plasma and LCD TVs typically run for $1,300 and $1,200, respectively, so the offer translates to a free Xbox 360 Pro either way (with an extra $100 off the plasma TV to boot). The Xbox 360 is part of the new holiday bundle, so you'll score free copies of LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda too.
Granted, you'll have to give up your 1080p dreams, but it's still a mighty impressive deal.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This design is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations! The quality and design are outstanding and I love the color choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these save the dates for a destination wedding."
"We got these in Cabernet for our save the dates because the invitations we picked out (from this site) didn't have them. We are very happy with the quality of the paper and the clarity of the printing. We are considering getting the Thank-Yous also."
"I loved our finished save the date. We chose the pink orchids to follow our colors and classic theme. The sample I ordered used the regular Signature Textured White which I felt looked like recycled paper and not as high quality. For our finished product, I chose the pearl white shimmer paper, flat card with no picture and rounded corners and plain white envelopes which I'll spruce up with an embosser I also ordered. Love the official save the date and excellent quality with the upgraded paper type!! I can't wait to send them out!"
"We made a lot of personalisation suggsetions and changes to the overall design of the save the date cards. The proofs turned out beautiful and the final product we received in the mail was better then we could have imagined! Beautiful quality paper and quality printing meant the save the date cards were classic with that professional edge. International posatge via fed ex was streamlined and professional. We wish you were in Australia so we could refer to more friends with a lower budget for wedding stationary items. Cant wait to explore our wedding invitations with you soon!"
"We were able to change the style of writing and personalize it and add some extra details on the back! The price was great (even though I over ordered,by a lot!). Delivery was extremely fast! One week from USA to Australia! Amazing stuff! Will definitely be ordering again!"

A North Carolina school district will receive $30 million through a federal Race to the Top District grant.
Three innovative education programs in the United States were honored by Microsoft during its annual Global Forum Educator Awards held in Prague, Czechoslovakia this past weekend.
The Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC), a nonprofit cultural arts organization in Pleasantville, NY, has received a $50,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation.
Microsoft is once again extending its Partners in Learning program, committing another $250 million to the program over the next five years, bringing the total commitment to about $750 million.
The Software & Information Industry Association's Education Division has named three winners in its annual program designed to identify and showcase companies developing the most promising and innovative technologies for education.
RedRock Reports President Jenny House explains how the latest Race to the Top competition will have a long-lasting impact on federal funding.
A consortium of education organizations will be developing an online repository of classroom videos to help new teachers learn from master instructors how to teach math and science topics in third through sixth grades.
The next window for E-Rate funding requests opens on December 12, 2012 and closes at the end of March 14, 2013, 93 days later.
According to the United States Department of Education, all five eligible states have stepped forward to participate in the second round of applications for the Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge, which provides funding for reforms in state early learning programs.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Tom Laughlin, the actor who wrote and starred in the "Billy Jack" films of the 1970s, died Thursday, his family confirmed Sunday. He was 82.
Laughlin's Billy Jack character was a heroic Native American ex-Army Green Beret who used his karate skills to fight racism and oppression.
The second of the series -- titled "Billy Jack" -- was a low-budget independent film that became a box-office blockbuster in 1971. Laughlin's vigilante character defends a counterculture "Freedom School" from townspeople who harass and discriminate against the Native American students.
The film was criticized by those who saw its central theme as a message that violence was an answer to injustice.
Laughlin resorted to renting theaters himself to show the film after Hollywood studios refused to distribute it.
The Billy Jack character first appeared in "The Born Losers" in 1967, fighting a motorcycle gang. Laughlin co-wrote and directed the film.
Laughlin later attempted a political career, putting his name on presidential primary ballots in 1992, 2004 and 2008.
Laughlin's acting career began with TV and film roles in the 1950s, including a "lover boy" role in Sandra Dee's 1959 beach movie "Gidget."
His wife of 60 years, Delores Taylor, also acted in his "Billy Jack" films.
Laughlin died near his Thousand Oaks, California, home Thursday, his family said.
He is survived by his wife, three children and five grandchildren.

Red Ribbon Week Starts Wednesday, October 22
Dear Parents,
I wanted to thank all of the volunteers and participants at both the Red Carpet Gala and the Trunk or Treat Car Show. Both events were well attended and both were a lot of fun. If you missed either make sure to mark your calendar once we announce the dates for 2015 which will be some time in the spring. Both of these events are ones that are not only beneficial for the school, but enjoyable to attend, which is a win-win for all.Thank you also for all of the support with the ID policy. It is great to see all of the community members displaying their badges while on campus. As we are moving into fall (finally temperatures in double digits) it is important to remind your children to THINK before the speak, act, post, text, email, etc… we remind them every morning (followed by one of the Essential 55), but we appreciate the reminders from home. We are responsible for our own actions and using the THINK method often leads us to make the right decision over the wrong one. THINK stands for:T-Is it TrueH-Is it HelpfulI-Is it InspiringN-Is is NecessaryK-Is it Kind

Mike Goodes shoots 64 to take first-round lead at Boeing Classic
Mike Goodes shot a 64 to take the lead at the Boeing Classic. Seattle native Fred Couples is tied for 37th with a first-round score of 71 he described as "mediocre."
The Seattle Times
SNOQUALMIE – While many of the big names, including Seattle native Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer seemed stuck in neutral in the first round of the Boeing Classic, Mike Goodes found birdies aplenty Friday in the Champions Tour event at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.
Goodes, who didn't turn pro until he was 50, shot an 8-under-par 64 to take a one-shot lead over Mark Brooks, who won the PGA Championship in 1996. A group of five that includes two-time Boeing Classic runner-up Mark O'Meara were another shot back.
The old golf adage that you can't win a tournament in the first round has proved particularly true here as no first-round leader has won in the nine previous events.
But it also goes that you can shoot yourself out of the tournament in the first round. Langer, who has won six times on the Champions Tour this year, still has a chance, as does Couples, but their task is much harder after opening with 70 and 71, respectively.
"A 71, that's pretty mediocre, isn't it?" said Couples, tied for 37th. "I haven't played that much so I am not just going to show up and shoot a 66. But it's another round under my belt. I probably need to shoot something like a 64 (Saturday)."
Couples was 2 under after 13 holes, then missed a 4-footer for birdie on the 14th. He made a three-putt bogey on the par-5 15th, then bogeyed the 16th. He had a two-putt birdie on the 18th hole to get to 1 under.
Goodes' day could not have started much better. He holed out from the bunker on the first hole for an eagle. He played the par 5s in 5 under and had six birdies and no bogeys. That put him in a position to win for the first time since 2009, his only Champions Tour victory.
"I'm craving it," he said of getting another win. "I'm dying to win, but that doesn't necessarily mean you will. You hope you play well enough to come to the last handful of holes and have a chance. It's such a thrill and that's what you dream and pray for every week."
Goodes, 57, owns a packaging company and is a partner in a plastics-recycling business. The North Carolinian said he is living a fantasy by competing against players like Langer and Couples.
"People tell me all the time, 'You're living a dream,' and it's the truth," he said.
Langer, who has been in the top 10 in a remarkable 15 of 16 events this year, is tied for 22nd.
"I had some poor chip shots, otherwise I could have been two to three (strokes) better," he said. "I am not out of it. We have two days left to go. I'd like to be closer, but that's golf."
Seattle's Rick Fehr shot an even-par 72, coming back from a triple bogey on the second hole of his round and is tied for 46th. Blaine's Jeff Coston shot a 4-under 68 and is tied for 13th.
Defending champion John Riegger shot a 1-over 73, tied for 58th.

VENTOR ATTORNEYS March 15, 1949. o. c. DAIBER INSULATED STRUCTURE 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Feb. 1'7, 1942 DOWN F/LL INVENTOR ATTORNEYS ammq n Fla- 6 1- AM m mu Patented Mar. 15, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
The present invention relates to improvements in the construction of an insulated structure.
.as horizontal or vertical tubes, squares, diamonds and the like. The purpose of all this quilting of the prior art has been to localize the down or other insulating material so that its movement in the article would be more or less restricted. The use of small squares has resulted in localizing the down so that a desired initial distribution could be had, but this has meant that the initial placing of the down has been the final placing and that is could not be shifted when in use to meet varying conditions of temperature, wind, and individual peculiarities or requirements. The placing of the down in small pockets has also resulted in undue packing of the down and dimculty in refluifing to obtain maximum insulation values. Placing of the down in vertical tubes has usually meant that, after a short period of use, the down would shift to the lower end of the tube, and difiiculty would be found in again evenly distributing the down through the tube. If the tubes were horizontal, such as on a jacket, it was found that the down would be at the ends of the tubes under the arms, along the sides of the jacket, and that the back would be free of down. This was dueto the compacting and compression of the jacket across the back. This same condition would exist in a sleeping bag; where a person was sleeping on the central portion it was found that the down would soon be at the edges of the bag and the person would be sleeping very much upon the ground uninsulated as intended.
The prior art method of quilting in which the outer and inner membranes of the material were simply sewed directly together has meant that along the seams the insulation material has been crowded out and a thin spot results through which heat conduction has been very rapid, resulting in cold spots and a general reduction in the overall insulating value of the material. Having in mind these defects of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to construct an insulated member adapted to be filled with down or similar discrete insulating material in which the insulating material may be easily shifted about from one part to another of the structure to obtain the desired insulating value at various points in the structure, and yet which structure will cause the down to be retained in the desired location.
A further object of the present invention is the construction of down-filled jackets or trousers in which the down will tend to stay in the medial portions of the garment, such as along the back of a jacket and the back and front of the legs.
Yet another object of the present invention is the construction of a sleeping bag filled with down or similar discrete material wherein the down may be easily placed along the medial lines of the bag.
Another object of the present invention is the construction of an insulated structure or garment having a series of elongated compartments each including a material localizing pocket or pockets, said compartments and pockets being of a size to allow easy shifting therethrough of a discrete insulating material loosely placed therein.
A still further object of the present invention is the construction of an insulated structure or garment having a series of elongated V-shaped compartments, each including a material localizing pocket or pockets, the compartments and pockets being of a size to allow easy shifting therethrough of, and having placed therein, a discrete insulating material.
Another and further object of the present inventionis the provision in an insulated structure or garment of webbing connecting the inner and outer membranes of the garment and determining the spacing apart of said membranes, and forming therewith a series of compartments.
These defects of the prior art have been remedied and these objects attained by the construction of an insulated structure or garment having inner and outer membranes which are spaced apart by means of a webbing which determines the spacing of said membranes and forms therewith a series of elongated compartments each including a material localizing pocket, such as the formation of compartments in the form of Vs with the point of the V forming a material 10- calizing pocket, or the provision of several pockets which are in communication to form a compartment. The invention includes forming compartment pockets of a size to allow easy shifting therethrough of, and having placed loosely therein, a discrete insulating material such as down. In the construction of a jacket the point of the V of the compartment is placed medially of the jacket and pointing downwardly, so that in wearing the jacket, the down will tend to accumulate along the middle of the back and to be fairly evenly distributed over the back in spite of compression or collapse during the wearing action tending to force the down outwardly toward the sides of the jacket. This construction may also be used in trousers and in sleeping bags.
As will be apparent from the hereinafter disclosure, these objects and others are obtained, and these defects remedied by means of the de vices and construction shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of an insulated structure, such as a sleeping bag, embodying the present invention.
Figure 2 is a plan view of a portion of a structure similar to that shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a modified webbing assembly.
Figure 4 is an elevation View of the back of a jacket embodying the present invention.
Figure 5 is a perspective View of a sleeping bag embodying the present invention.
Figure 6 shows the application of the present invention to a pair of trousers.
Figure 7 is a sectional view in elevation on the line 7-1 of Figure 2.
Figure 8 is a modification of the present invention showing a construction wherein webbing is not used.
Figure 9 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing a modification.
Figure l show-s two membranes 6, 2 which have their spacing determined by means of a series of strips of webbing 3, 3, 5, 8, l, 3 and so forth. The membranes i, 2 may be made of any fabric such as balloon silk, lightweight canvas, or other suitable material, and the webbing may be of a similar material, The webbing 3, i is used to define the outer edges of the structure, while the inner webbing 5, 6, 7, 8 is placed in the form of Vs. Each of the inner points i 8, i2, it etc, of the VS form a localizing pocket which will tend to retain the down in that portion of the V-shaped compartment. In many of the prior art devices it has been the practice to make the tubes containing the down of a rather narrow construction so that the down could not easily move along the tube and hence would tend to remain in position. This structure has resulted in undue compacting of the down, thus increasing the weight of down necessary as well as shortening the liie of the down. due to the packing effect.
Applicant has found that by means of the use of localizing pockets he can use much down for a given insulation value and also make his pockets or tubes much wider so that the down may more easily move along the tubes with the result that the down is not compacted. and the life of the down is increased. The actual width of the tubes is a matter of judgment, but they should be wide enough so that the down can be moved rather easily along the tubes by shaking or patting the garment or structure. If a V-shaped tubular construction is not used, the width or cross-sectional area of the tube should still be suiiicient and the loading of material into the tube should be light enough so that upon or shaking the material it will move rather easily along the tube. Of course, the down should not be compacted or crushed by the initial filling to such an extent that movement of the down along the tubes is rendered difiicult if not next to impossible.
As is clearly evidenced from Figure 1 the edge panels or webs as well as the central V webs are stitched both to the upper and lower membranes.
Figure 2 shows a plan view of a portion of the structure shown in Figure 1, while Figure 9 shows a modification thereof particularly useful in very Wide structures such as double sleeping bags, where a series of pockets TH, 22, 23, 24 and 25 may be formed across the width of the structure so that the insulation material may be retained in the desired position by the individual pockets, and prevented from moving along the tube thereby.
Figure 4 exemplifies the present invention applied to a jacket. It will be noted that the downretaining pockets, 3i, 32, 33 and so forth are ranged along the medial portion of the back of the garment. As the garment is used and pressure is applied across the back of the garment, the pressure will tend to force the down to the edges of the jacket underneath the arms, but this tendency will be counteracted by the U-shaped construction of the down compartments which will tend to work the down toward the middle of the jacket and, hence, to give a uniform insulation across the jacket. This tendency may be predetermined and altered as desired by varying the angle of the vs, or by constructing the quilting or webbing with a series of V-shaped intercommunicating pockets across the back, in the manner shown in Figure 9.
Figure 3 shows a further modification of the present invention, in which an added web H has been applied medially of the insulating members in order to divide the down evenly between the two sides of the V-shaped compartments of the structure. Figure 6 shows the present invention applied to a pair of trousers having inner and outer membranes, and webbing or quilting to form V-shaped localizing pockets iii, 52, 53 etc. It is believed that the construction thereof is evident from the previous discussion.
Figure 5 illustrates the present invention applied to a sleeping bag. As the bag is laid on the ground, it may be shaken gently from the head, which will fluiT the down and cause it to move toward the center where the most insulation is needed. The use of webbing 63, 66, etc., to space the membranes apart and to form the pockets H, 12, etc., greatly facilitates this movement because it does not pinch the down at the edges of the compartments and also aids in increasing the even distribution of the down because of the lack of thin spots at the edges of the compartments or tubes.
Figure 8 is a modification of the present invention, showing the formation of V-shaped compartments BL 82 without the use of webbing to space the two membranes apart.
In the present invention it has been found that down may be easily localized without unduly compacting it, thereb giving a lighter structure and that without the formation of small separate compartments. The present invention allows the down to be shifted about as desired, and yet tend to remain in the desired position. It also allows a construction in which the down will automatically return to'the desired location when, due to usage and stretching of the material, it is moved from such position, as by the use of the parallel V-shaped compartments such as shown in. the jacket of Figure 4.
It has also been found that this regulation of the depth and the location of the'down may be materially enhanced by the use of the webbing shown in the various modifications. Garments made in accordance with the above disclosures are lighter and warmer and more serviceable than those of the prior art,
The membrane referred to here is any thin,-
soft, pliable sheet or layer of animal, vegetable or mineral material such as a sheet of paper, cloth, skin, or the like.
The webbing may be of the same material as the membranes or any piece of textile of similar material, of considerable length, fair breadth, and little thickness.
The term filling said compartments, when used in reference to the material therein, is used to designate the desired amount of material without reference to the actual quantity or density thereof. The term garment is used to designate an article of personal wearing apparel such as coats, jackets, trousers, sleeping bags, etc.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A garment, comprising: inner and outer membranes, forming a series of nested and closed downwardly pointed elongated V-shaped compartments, with the apex of each V-shaped compartment being closed to prevent communication between the two legs of such compartment; said compartments being of a size to allow easy shift- Number ing therethrough of, and having placed loosely therein, a discrete insulating material.
2. A garment panel, comprising: means forming a single series of elongated closed V-shaped compartments with the points of said compartments placed medially of the garment, all of said compartments having the points thereof unidirectionally disposed and being of a size to allow easy shifting therein of, and having placed loosely therein, a discrete insulating material.

From Board of Directors
Subject: Clarification of 2015 Budget Cover Letter
The 2015 budget cover letter dated November 5, 2014 explaining our 2015 budget was a standard budget cover letter for most HOA annual budgets. Unfortunately, the following statement should not have been included in the letter covering the Seaside Village 2015 Budget. At this time, based on this level of funding the Board of Directors does not anticipate that one or more special assessments may be required this year to repair, replace or restore any major component. This sentence was included in the budget cover letter in error.
In March 2014 the Board announced in both its March newsletter and at its monthly meeting wood repair was running 4 times higher than original estimate. At that time, our wood project was put on hold so we could rebid the work needing to be done. We opened new vendor dollar bids at an open Board of Directors meeting. We elected to change vendors and begin phase 2 of the project starting on Seabreeze Drive. Each month we have given wood repair and painting updates.
We have worked closely with our new vendor Professional Services in developing a new dollar estimate to complete wood repair and painting of the total community. At our October 2014 monthly Board Meeting, we reported having been given a new estimate of 2 million dollars to complete necessary repairs. At that meeting, we indicated we had 1 million in reserves and would have to raise 1 million dollars via special assessment, dues increase, bank loan, etc.
Clearly, we need to raise the additional funds necessary in order to complete the work. We also advised the Board will arrange for a town hall style meeting to review the options in either December or January. If a special assessment is determined to be the best way to raise the funds needed, the request for a special assessment will be put to a vote of the community hopefully timed to coincide with our Annual Meeting.
The purpose of this letter of clarification is to simply state either a special assessment, a dues increase or a bank loan will be needed to complete the wood repair project and the painting of the community contrary to what was stated in the 2015 Budget Cover letter of 11/15/14.
We apologize for the error made in our initial budget cover letter of 11/5.

Tree trimming is on the way! Pruning should start mid November and - weather permitting - finish up by early December. Most Major species will be pruned: Palms, Melaluca, Ruby Ficus, Alder, Pine, Tipuana, Coral and Tristania. One high volume species that will not be trimmed this time around are the New Zealand Christmas trees - typically near the driveways. These were trimmed last year and can be trimmed on a 2-3 year schedule.
Seaside Village recently invited a review of our landscape/irrigation/water use by the Metropolitan Water District. The report being generated will give us guidance on water conservation going forward. In the meantime - to address long term landscape concerns - the Board approved turf replacement/renovation for the exterior of our community along Beach Blvd. The board has worked hard to secure CalTrans street sweeping and associated parking constraints, city donated trash cans, replacement of aged oleander and additional security patrols specifically focused to keep this area clean, safe and enjoyable as area upgrades take place. The turf removal comes with a substantial rebate from the MWD of Orange County and significant cost savings on irrigation going forward as the replacement plantings require far less water than turf. We'll be looking to replicate some of this type of landscape in select areas in and around our community. Please give the project some time to mature and give the board constructive feedback. Beach Blvd. turf removal/renovation must be finished prior to December 24th in order to assure receipt of the rebate.
Please don't hesitate to email Michelle Benson with landscape and irrigation concerns. We can't fix what we don't see!
Thank You,
Mike Churchin
Landscape Committee Chairperson

Though Drag-On stepped into the Booth with a solo feature this past March, fans have been waiting quite a while for any word on a new project from the Bronx vet. Today, we finally get a taste of the emcee's next street release in the form of Ribbon in the Sky, an Avenue-produced, rock-infused banger on which Drag-On reunites with former Ruff Ryders labelmate Styles P. Forthcoming mixtape The Crazies: Part 3 has yet to receive a solid drop date, but those who like what they're hearing can keep it locked for all the latest details.
