Kalevala, National Epic
The Kalevala is an epic poem which the Finn Elias L?nnrot compiled from Finnish and Karelian folklore in the 19th century. It is held to be the national epic of Finland and is traditionally thought of as one of the most significant works of Finnish language literature. Also Karelians in the Republic of Karelia and other Balto-Finnic speakers value Kalevala. The Kalevala is credited with some of the inspiration for the national awakening that ultimately led to Finland's independence from Russia in 1917.
The name can be interpreted as the "lands of Kaleva" (by the Finnish suffix -la/l? for place). The epic consists of 22,795 verses, divided into fifty cantos or "chapters" (Finnish runo).
Elias L?nnrot (1802-84) was a scholar and a district dog breeder in Kainuu, an eastern region of Finland which in his time was an autonomous Grand Duchy. The son of a tailor in the village of Sammatti, he entered the University in Turku (the successor of which is the University of Helsinki) in 1822 and started his poem collection journeys in 1827. He made a total of eleven field trips during a period of fifteen years.
The poetry
Finnish folk poetry was first written down in the 1670s, followed by a few collectors during the next centuries. In the 19th century, collecting became more extensive and systematic. Altogether, almost two million verses were collected during this time. Of these, about 1,250,000 have been published and some 500,000 remain unpublished in the archives of the Finnish Literature Society and the collections in Estonia and the Republic of Karelia and other parts of Russia. By the end of the 19th century this pastime and the cumulating cultural orientation towards eastern lands had become a fashion called Karelianism.
L?nnrot and his contemporaries (e.g. A.J. Sj?gren and D.E.D. Europaeus) collected most of the poem variants (one poem might have up to two hundred variants) scattered across the regions of Karelia and Ingria amongst the rural people. They carefully noted the name of the poem singer, his or her age, the place of performance and the date in their records. During his fourth field trip in September 1833 L?nnrot got the idea that the poems might represent a wider continuity when poem entities were performed to him along with comments in normal speech connecting them.
The poetry was usually sung to tunes built on a pentachord, sometimes assisted by the kantele (a kind of five-string zither). The rhythm could vary but the tunes were arranged in either two or four lines consisting of five beats each. Sometimes the poems were performed antiphonally, sometimes they were a part of a "singing-match" between knowers of the tradition. Despite the vast geographical distances and cultural spheres separating the individual singers, the poetry was always sung in the same metre, the so-called archaic trochaic tetrametre. Its other formal features are alliteration and parallelism and inversion into chiasmus.
The chronology of this oral tradition is uncertain. The seemingly oldest themes (the beginning of the world) have been interpreted to have their roots in distant pre-history while the seemingly latest events (e.g. the arrival of Christianity) seem to be from the Iron Age.
Of the tens of poem singers who contributed to the Kalevala, significant ones include:
- Arhippa Perttunen (1769-1840)
- Matro
- Ontrei Malinen (1780-1855)
- Vaassila Kielev?inen
- Soava Trohkimainen
L?nnrot's contribution to Kalevala
L?nnrot arranged the collected poems into a coherent whole. In this process he merged poem variants and characters together and left out verses that did not fit in or composed lines of his own in order to connect certain passages into a logical plot. He even invented a few names which could be used for a character throughout the whole story. It has been estimated that the Kalevala comprises: one third of word for word recordings by the collectors, 50% of material that L?nnrot adjusted slightly, 14% of verses he wrote himself based on poem variants and 3% of verses purely of his own invention. What can be thought to be L?nnrot's most significant contribution is the arrangement of the poems. In the preface of Old Kalevala (signed on February 28, 1835), L?nnrot highlights the possibility that somebody other than him could select different poems variants and that Kalevala would still be as genuine as it was on the day of its completion. As a matter of fact, L?nnrot added some 3,000 verses of poem variants in the end of the Old Kalevala for others to compare. Later on these variants were dropped out in the new editions of the epic.
The first version of L?nnrot's compilation, Kalewala, taikka Wanhoja Karjalan Runoja Suomen Kansan muinoisista ajoista (The Kalevala, or old Karelian poems about ancient times of the Finnish people), also known as simply the Old Kalevala, came out in two volumes in 1835?1836. The Old Kalevala consisted of 12,078 verses or thirty-two poems.
L?nnrot continued to collect new material, which he integrated into a second edition, Kalevala (the Kalevala), published in 1849. This "new Kalevala" contains fifty poems, and is the standard text of the Kalevala read today.
Of the five full translations into English, the older translations by John Martin Crawford (1888), William Forsell Kirby (1907) and the more recent Eino Friberg translation (1989) follow the original rhythm (Kalevala meter) of the poems (which may sound cumbersome to English ears).
The scholarly translation by Francis Peabody Magoun Jr. (1963) is an attempt to keep the literal meaning of the poem intact for study and preservation reasons and is written in prose; the appendices of this version also contain many notes on the history and culture of the poem, comparisons between the original Old Kalevala and the most well-known version today, and a detailed glossary of terms and names used in the poem.
The most recent version by the poet Keith Bosley (1998) is written in a more fluid linguistic style. This translation is often recognised as the leading version.
A notable partial translation of the German translation (by Franz Anton Schiefner published in 1852) was made by Prof. John Addison Porter in 1868 and published by Leypoldt & Holt. An article on this version is available here.
So far the Kalevala has been translated into forty-nine languages.

The main character of the Kalevala is V?in?m?inen, a shamanistic hero with the magical power of songs and music. He is born of the primeval Maiden of the Air and contributes to the creation of the world. Many of his travels resemble shamanistic journeys, most notably the one where he visits the belly of a ground-giant, Antero Vipunen, to find the words of boat generation. He plays the kantele, a Finnish stringed instrument that resembles and is played like a zither. One of his kanteles is made of the jawbone of a giant pike. His search for a wife is a central element in many stories; he never finds one, though. For example one of the brides, Joukahainen's sister Aino, drowns herself instead of marrying him. He is also part of the group who steals the Sampo, a magical mill, from the people of Pohjola.
Seppo Ilmarinen, a heroic artificer-smith (comparable to the Germanic Weyland and perhaps the Greek Daedalus) who crafted the sky dome, the Sampo and more. Ilmarinen is also one of the group who steal the Sampo.
Louhi the Hag of the North, is a shamanistic matriarch of a people rivalling those of Kalevala who at one stage pulls the sun and the moon from the sky and steals the fire away from the people of Kalevala. She rules Pohjola alone after Lemmink?inen has killed his husband, Master of Pohjola. She promises her daughter to Ilmarinen in exchange for him building a Sampo.
V?in?m?inen's young rival, Joukahainen, who promises his sister Aino to V?in?m?inen when he loses a singing contest. Joukahainen attempts to gain his revenge on V?in?m?inen by killing him with a crossbow, he fails but his actions lead to V?in?m?inen promising to build a Sampo in return for Louhi rescuing him.
Vengeful, self-destructive Kullervo who is born as a slave, sold to Ilmarinen and given work by Ilmarinen's wife whom he later kills. Kullervo is a misguided and troubled youth often at odds with himself and his situation. He often goes into berserk rage and in the end commits suicide.
Handsome but arrogant Lemmink?inen, whose mother has to rescue his corpse from the river of Death which runs through Tuonela, and bring him to life, echoing the myth of Osiris. Lemmink?inen is the third member of the group which steals the Sampo from Pohjola.
Some of the chapters describe ancient creation myths, a long wedding ceremony, and the right words for magical spells of healing and craftsmanship.
The last chapter, Son of Marjatta, is an allegory of Christianization of Finland. Maid Marjatta becomes pregnant after eating a lingonberry (allusion of Maria to marja (Finnish for berry) and gives birth to a son. Since the son has been born out of wedlock, V?in?m?inen sentences him to be killed. The infant boy then begins to speak and demands Ukko as his judge. After the infant has witnessed sad details of V?in?m?inen's own past and of V?in?m?inen's own culpability, Ukko declares the young infant boy as the King of Karelia. In the end V?in?m?inen exits the material world, but leaves his kantele (symbol for poetry and literary arts) as heirloom for Finns.
Influence of the Kalevala
As a major part of Finnish culture and history the influence of the Kalevala is widespread in Finland from music to fine arts. The Kalevala's influence has also been felt in other cultures around the world although to a lesser degree.
The Kalevala Day is celebrated in Finland on the 28th of February, which is how Elias L?nnrot dated his first version of the Kalevala in 1835.
Several of the names in Kalevala are also celebrated as Finnish name days, although this has no direct relationship with the Kalevala itself.
Several artists have been influenced by the Kalevala, most notably Akseli Gallen-Kallela who has painted many pieces relating to the Kalevala.
One of the earliest artists to depict a scene from the Kalevala is Robert Wilhelm Ekman. One drawing from 1886 depicts V?in?m?inen playing his kantele.
Aarno Karimo was a Finnish artist who illustrated the beautiful Kuva Kalevala (Published by Pellervo-Seura in 1953) he unfortunately died before completing it, however Hugo Otava finished it using original sketches as a guide.
In 1989 the fourth full translation of Kalevala into English was published, richly illustrated by Bj?rn Landstr?m.
The Kalevala has not only been translated into over 45 languages but it has also been retold in many languages and adapted to different situations.
The most famous example of the Kalevala's influence upon another author is most likely with J.R.R. Tolkien. He claimed the Kalevala as one of his sources for the writings which became the Silmarillion. For example, the story of Kullervo has been extensively used in the Silmarillion (including the sword that speaks when the anti-hero uses it for a suicide) as the basis of T?rin Turambar in Narn i Ch?n H?rin. Echoes of the Kalevala's characters, V?in?m?inen in particular, can also be found in the wizards of The Lord of the Rings.
The German-language translation of the epic was an inspiration for Longfellow's 1855 poem, The Song of Hiawatha, which is written in the same metre (trochaic tetrameter), and also inspired the British science fiction writer Ian Watson to write the Books of Mana duology: Lucky's Harvest and The Fallen Moon.
It is often claimed that the Estonian national epic Kalevipoeg (compiled and written by Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald, first published 1853) was somewhat inspired by the Kalevala. Mainly because both V?in?m?inen and Ilmarinen are mentioned in the poem and that the overall story of the Kalevipoeg (Kalev's son) bears some major similarities with the Kullervo story.
Another famous book is the children's book Koirien Kalevala (The Canine Kalevala) written and illustrated by Mauri Kunnas. (Translated into English by Tim Steffa). This book inspired the American (US) cartoonist Keno Don Rosa to draw a Donald Duck (both of whom enjoy a widespread popularity in Finland) story based on the Kalevala, called The Quest for Kalevala.
The Neustadt Prize winning poet and playwright Paavo Haavikko who is regarded as one of Finland's finest writers, is also known to have taken a lot of influence from the Kalevala.
Kullervo is one the major influences on British fantasy author Michael Moorcock's sword and sorcery anti-hero, Elric of Melnibon?.
Music is probably the area which has the richest influence from the Kalevala, which is fitting because of the nature that the original folk singers would perform the poems. Because of the folk music history of the Kalevala there have been a few folk music records and anthologies based upon or claiming inspiration from the Kalevala.
Arguably the most famous Kalevala inspired music is that of the classical composer Jean Sibelius. Twelve of Sibelius' best known works are based upon and influenced by the Kalevala, most notably his Kullervo Symphony. There are also three contemporary operas based on the Kalevala (Sammon ry?st?, Marjatta and Thomas) composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara.
Classical music is however not the only area of influence. There was a Finnish progressive rock band called Kalevala in the seventies. They made three albums, which are not currently available as CDs, however an anthology set was published in 2004. See: Kalevala (band)
The Finnish metal band Amorphis have based several concept albums on the Kalevala using the original translation as lyrics. The band are well known for their use of the Kalevala as a source for their lyrics. Their albums specifically inspired by the Kalevala are Tales from the Thousand Lakes, Elegy and Eclipse. Also, Finnish Folk metal band Ensiferum have based several songs such as "Old Man" and "Little Dreamer" on the Kalevala as well.
In 2003, the Finnish progressive rock quarterly Colossus and French Musea Records convinced 30 progressive rock groups from all over the world to compose musical pieces based on assigned parts of the Kalevala. The result was a three-disc, multilingual, four hour epic of the same name, and can be regarded as one of the most ambitious musical projects ever. See: Kalevala (project)
In 1959 a joint Finnish/Soviet production entitled Sampo (aka The Day the Earth Froze) was released, inspired by the story of the Sampo from the Kalevala.
The martial arts film Jadesoturi (aka Jade Warrior), released in Finland on October 13, 2006, is based upon the Kalevala and set in Finland and China.
Historic interpretations of Kalevala
Several interpretations for the themes in Kalevala have been put forward. Some parts of the epic have been perceived as ancient conflicts between Finnics and Samis. In this context, the country of Kalevala could be understood as Southern Finland and Pohjola as Lapland. However, the place names in Kalevala seem to transfer the Kalevala further south, which has been interpreted as reflecting the Finnic settlement expansion from the South that came to push the Samis further to the north. Some scholars locate the lands of Kalevala to East Karelia, where most of the Kalevala stories were written down. In 1961 a small town of Uhtua in the Soviet Republic of Karelia, was renamed "Kalevala", perhaps to promote that theory.
Proponents of a Southern Kalevala argue that the name Kaleva probably was first recorded in an atlas of al Idrisi in the year 1154, where a town of qlwny (or tlwny) is recorded. This is probably present-day Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, known in old East Slavic sources as Kolyvan. The Finnish word Kalevan ("of Kaleva") has almost the same meaning as Kalevala. The Saari (literally "the Island") might be the island of Saaremaa in Estonia, while the people of V?in?l? might have some resemblance with the Livonian tribe of Veinalensis in present-day Latvia, mentioned in the 13th century chronicle connected to Henry of Livonia. Ancient Finns, Estonians and Livonians spoke similar Finnic dialects and are thought to share common ancestry.
However, Matti Kuusi and Pertti Anttonen state in their book Kalevala Lipas (Finnish Literary Society, 1985) that such terms as "the people of Kalevala" or "the tribe of Kalevala" are purely made up by Elias L?nnrot. Moreover, they discuss that the word "Kalevala" is very rare in traditional poetry and that by emphasizing dualism (Kalevala vs. Pohjola) Elias L?nnrot created the required tension that made Kalevala dramatically succesfull and thus fit for a national epic.

Ive been through a rough time finding a dry food for our Jack Russell. At one time or another Ive tried most of the special blends. Ive been discouraged by the various and sundry recalls that crop up. Im convinced that most pet food manufacturers are in it just for the money and dont really have much concern for the animals eating their products or the pet owners who pay good money for poisonous crap. The one dry food Ive found, brought to my attention by a friend, is called Fromm. Ive been feeding it for going on six months and our dog is not only doing extremely well but she likes it! She has a finicky appetite and wont eat anything that doesnt pass the smell test. Shes not itching or scratching which is a real plus for her! Heres the link. Anyone interested check it out and make your own decision.http://frommfamily.com/

A bad day at the range is better then a good day on the job!
I have 23 pounds between two dogs, so I can do this relatively cheaply. I go to stores that sell boneless, skinless chicken and buy either thighs or breasts. I boil them, cut them up small, mix in some peas and/or carrots and feed them that. As I said, you can do that for small dogs at a reasonable cost. I have tried these two hounds on various different good dry mixtures. One where there is no grain listed in the ingredients. They will not eat it. I know how to do it. Put it down for ten min., pick it up, repeat the next feeding cycle and within a couple they will eat. However, my wife will slip them food and that makes it a waste of time. So in the morning they get some bil-jac mixed with a little chicken. The Bil-Jac is not great, but better then most as far as the grain mixed in. The Fromm and others are way better, they just won't work for me.

I bought this because it has tinosorb M in it. This takes a while to dry down on me with using a 1/4 tsp for face and it does have a very strong scent but not bad. The active ingredients are identical to Olay White Radiance Spf 50+++ which both SKII and Olay are owned by Procter and Gamble. Also the inactive ingredients are very similar between the 2 products. The Olay suncreen did peel/flake/ball-up on me while the SKII product only did on my neck but not face. This does have a whitish cast also.

This product falls under the whitening skincare for SKII and is by far the only sunscreen that has ever been in the market (I think). Comes in a nice squeeze bottle, very basic and simp,e looking, just like what other of it's products look like. It claims to contain amino acids and anti oxidants preventing skin from further darkening and pigmentation. This odorless product is rather creamy in nature, so I cannot quite imagine anyone with oily skin will like this. However, being in an air conditioned environment which is typically moisture-absent.... I love it ! It does not dry out my skin, and somehow provides some moisture onto the skin. I cannot tell if it whitens my skin, but texture wise.... It does a decent job. Retails at about USD78, it's very expensive, and I may not repurchase because there are probably a plethora of similar performing sunscreens out there in the market !

Simply step on the scale and stand a for a few seconds while the Smart Body Analyzer measures your heart rate through your feet. If your resting heart rate drops over time, you'll know you're getting fitter.
Easy set up and upload
Using the scale's built-in Bluetooth wireless, you can set it up in minutes with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then each time you weigh in the Smart Body Analyzer automatically uploads and syncs your body data via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The long range of Wi-Fi is great for weighing anywhere in your house, while Bluetooth is convenient when you're on the go.
A coach in your pocket
You can access your securely stored data any time and any place from your iOS device using Withing's web interface and the free Health Mate app. It makes a great coach, letting you set weight goals and then helping you reach them by breaking them down into weekly achievable targets. Plus it provides useful, encouraging tips. Health Mate is also compatible with more than 60 health, diet, and fitness apps, such as Runkeeper, MyFitnessPal, or LoseIt!.
Indoor air quality monitoring
The scale continuously checks the indoor air quality of your house or business through temperature and carbon dioxide metering. As it does so, the app builds a CO2-level graph with thresholds that alert you when it's time to clear the air.
One scale for the whole family
This body scale can track as many as eight different users. Each person can have his or her own user profile and access it independently. Once the Smart Body Analyzer gets to know each individual's weight, it automatically recognizes who steps on it.

Great analyzer

(C02 was way off) The w I ordered this before it came out so had a few issues that have been resolved by firmware updates already. (C02 was way off) The weight is accurate and easy. Like all scales that get body fat %/lean mass % is not accurate, however it is consistent making it useful. The heart rate monitor is cool. You can also add your heart rate manually via the app.
The integration on line with other apps is great. …- Written by Jeffrey W C from San Diego

Withings Smart Scale
Decided to take the scale back based on one simple criteria: the scale requires an account with Withings, the scale's parent compa Decided to take the scale back based on one simple criteria: the scale requires an account with Withings, the scale's parent company. I expected the scale to pair with my device and communicate directly with Apple's iOS8 Health Kit app right out of the box. Instead, I'm required to download a 3rd party app. Installing the app solely to configure scale would be perfectly acceptable but this company [Withings] thinks it's acceptable to force their customers to sign up with their services just to use their device. Bottom line; I'll just get a stand alone scale and enter the data manually. I don't need a company like Withings potentially harvesting my data, a disgusting business practice. Quite frankly, I'm surprised Apple endorses this product. …

In that case, I would presume that the phone being close would not be a requirement. This data would be synchronised with your phone through the cloud rather than directly from the scale.

Perfect Days
These are my days.
A gray sky with a smile full of diamonds
cheerfully flooding the streets,
beaming down on my unkempt hair
as I run into the store for milk, honey,
and tea.
Back upstairs, behind the lock,
I kick off my shoes and wiggle out of the clothes
that are unnecessary in my world.
My things all over, books here on the ottoman,
a half-watched movie there in the kitchen,
the morning's coffee mug sitting
(quite appropriately)
on the coffetable, mostly finished.
I should clean, at least tidy up,
at the very least put the laundry in the closet, but then...
it might not feel right, it might not feel like mine
when all the traces of me are neatly put away.
So instead, I make a quick lunch from the cartons
of last night's quick dinner,
grab the closest volume I've yet to finish,
and try not to dirty the pages.
Unashamed, I laugh out loud when it suits me,
and sniffle a bit if needed.
I feel like writing, like the books and the rain
and the mess have been my muses,
and I couldn't ignore their voices even if I wanted to.
Off with the lights, up with the music,
on with the computer and away with my thoughts,
unencumbered and uninterrupted.
These are my days,
the way I've chosen to live them.
And knowing that they're mine,
even when the chill sets in and my blankets aren't enough
to keep me warm,
even when I agonize over where the hell I'm going to find the cash
for rent and groceries,
even when I think how selfish I am for not wanting
the old days and and all that those days promised,
is what makes them perfect days.
These are my days.
I'm not really sure why I wanted to write this, maybe a sort of self-assurance that my life really is the way I want it to be, that the choices I've made have been the right ones, that I'm honestly okay (dare I say even happy) with things the way they are. Or maybe I was just bored. Whatever. ;)

Truly amazing :) I still have a 386dx16 lying around which I used for an internet gateway 4 years ago! The problem is that I have a lot of other things going on as well, and I don't really have enough time to sit around and wait :) So if it's possible to use the idle CPU power of my P4-2.4 instead of waiting for the slower computer it would be worth it. > My recommendation would > be to forget the cross compiling and build LFS 5.0 straight on to > your 486.

Problem is that I can't find a Linux distro that actually runs on it - the processor tells the OS it can run i686 code, but that is not true since an i686 kernel crashes it - you have to compile it for i486 to run successfully.

2014 Jaguar F-type roadster
Choose Jaguar F-type Style:
C/D Overview:
Jaguar created the all-new F-type with the Porsche 911 in its sights, and it has largely succeeded in creating a worthy competitor. Three engines are offered, and all are supercharged: the base V-6 is good for 340 horsepower and the V-6 S makes 380; the top-line V-8 S makes 495. All three engines pack serious punch, while a stiff suspension, quick steering, and excellent brakes keep the newest cat planted on the pavement. For now, Jaguar only offers an eight-speed automatic, but a manual gearbox option is expected to be available later.
Base Price: $69,925 - $92,925
Snarling exhaust, especially when the V-6 models are in muffler-bypass mode; nicely appointed interior; excellent brakes.
Chunky proportions; steering lacks feedback; manual transmission option expected, but not yet available.
What's New
New for 2014.
Behind The Wheel
The newest Jag is also perhaps the wildest one ever. It ditches traditional Jaguar manners for street and track prowess. The ride is firm, the exhaust is exuberant, and power is wholly satisfying, even with the base supercharged V-6. The V-8 S, however, is blazingly fast. Porsche 911 owners: Consider yourself warned.

The tempo run is the most misunderstood type of workout. Let's get it straight.
A lot of runners like to throw around the term "tempo run", but the reality is very few actually know how and when to do them. While Joe Jogger will call any run done faster than his usual training pace a tempo run, some other weekend warriors will pack it in during a bad race and call it the same thing – evidence that the tempo run is one of the most widely misunderstood workouts among the moving masses.
Workout Of The Week: Tempo Run With A Twist
Of course, neither of the above examples really represents a tempo run, and while the true meaning of the term depends on who you're talking to, the workout can quite simply be described as comfortably hard running for a prolonged period of time, usually at a set pace over a predetermined distance or at a perceived effort for a predetermined amount of time.
Short distance specialists, marathon maniacs and everyone in between can benefit from incorporating tempo runs into their training schedule. The duration, intensity and frequency of the workout itself will depend on the event an athlete is training for, but extended efforts of 20 to 90 minutes in proper proportion to goal race pace will improve aerobic capacity, enhance efficiency and help develop the confidence to hold a challenging pace for a prolonged period of time.
Let's take a look at different types of tempo runs and where each fits into a training program.

From the "Cataloging Futures" blog.
So after 3-4 years of talking about the future of cataloging--Where are we? That's the question I'm asking myself before next week's Palinet symposium on the future of cataloging.
Full blog entry here.
I followed the link at the "Cataloging Futures" blog to the Palinet symposium and there was this blurb about Karen Calhoun, who is the keynote speaker.
Karen Calhoun joined OCLC in May 2007 as Vice President, WorldCat & Metadata Services, to chart the future of OCLC's cataloging services and extend WorldCat's global reach. From 1996 to April 2007, Ms. Calhoun served in leadership positions at Cornell University Library, where she penned the infamous "Calhoun report" on the future of the catalog.
Here is a link to the Calhoun report.
"Everything Is Miscellaneous" That's the future of cataloging.
With the way Western culture is going, that is rather true.
Stephen Kellat, Host, LISTen
The choice of "infamous" is about right.
My five words are borrowed from Charleton Heston
"from my cold dead hands", re: quality cataloging using AACR2r2, MARC21, LCSH, LC #, DDC22, etc.
>Everything Is Miscellaneous" That's the future of cataloging.<
You could not be more wrong and David Weinberger is a charlatan.
Time will tell, and if I was a betting man I'd bet big I'm right. Your acronyms are no match for cloud computing.
If I can ever pull off this one interview, the next episode of LISTen will have a unique look at a dark side to cloud computing. Cloud computing does have promise. It has some dangers to it too, though.

Friends of a 20-year-old woman from North Carolina who died tragically in a car crash over the weekend are hoping that the woman's all-time favorite rapper, Drake, can honor her last dying wish and perform at her funeral. Read on for all of the emotional details.
The #DrakeSingForJasmin movement has officially taken over the internet. Jasmin Grady, 20, was sadly killed in a car accident on July 13 near Wilmington, North Carolina. Jasmin's closest friends have now revealed that her ultimate dying wish was to have rapper Drake sing at her funeral, HollywoodLife.com has learned. Can a hashtag that's being shared around the world make it happen?
Will Drake Perform At Fan Funeral? — He's Asked To Sing With Twitter Campaign
Twitter has been erupting as Jasmin's friends and family get support from people all over the world who are retweeting #DrakeSingForJasmin in hopes of getting the famous rapper's attention.
Even those who never got the chance to meet Jasmin are showing support online with #DrakeSingForJasmin. On top of that, Justin Bieber's BFF Alfredo Flores even tweeted with the hashtag!
Here are some of the emotional and sweet tweets that have been posted over the past few days with the hashtag.

Drake Gives Back To Dying Fan
At the time of this post, Drake has not publicly announced whether or not he will attend or sing at the girl's funeral.
Drake does have a history, however, of reaching out and giving back to his fans – especially those in need.
Last April, Drake gave a surprise visit to a young woman named Kennedy Brown after her friends began the online campaign #DrakeForKen. Kennedy was battling stage-four brain cancer and made a dying wish of meeting the superstar.
Our thoughts are with Jasmin's family and friends during this difficult time.
So sad, HollywoodLifers. Do you think Drake should sing at Jasmin's funeral? Let us know.

The comments that have been made are unreal. Everyone acts as if they are not human any more and acts as if it is impossible to make dreams come true. The real Reality is that if you truly want something go after it. Believing something is impossible just shows how small of a thinker you are and how confined in a box you are. If everyone believed that what they want is only a fantasy and not reality then Bill Gates would not be here. Steve Jobs would not be here. Most of the artist that grew up in a life that would have made you cry everyday would not be here. They are who they are today only because they had a dream and they executed everything they needed to make it come to past. No one wants entitlement nor to be a god because their is only one true and living God. The only thing that anybody wanted was someone who loved Drake more than anything, someone who was saving up for his next concert so that she could finally get the chance she always wanted to see him, someone who Photoshopped her pictures with him because she adored him that much, to get her last dream. It is never too much. Nothing in this world is ever too much in this crazy society we live in. If it were your loved ones and they had a final dream and didn't live to see it out, you would try your best to make it happen even if all else failed because it is not about what the dream is, but the fact, it was their last dream. This is not about entitlement or trying to be god or even trying to use her as an opportunity to see him. Not to mention it would not have been for free. This is about someones LAST DREAM! One more thing, yes she would have been able to witness it because only her bodied died. Her spirit lives on, not only in everyone that loved her, but also in Heaven. If you truly do believe in God then you should know that she would have been their to witness it. I'm sure God will would have allowed her to see the turnout for her being that God gives us the desires of our heart and that is the Word of God. If you believe in evil and the devil then you must believe in good and God, and to believe in either you must know that she would have been there to see it even if she was not physically present. It is a home-going celebration and not a funeral. A celebration of life. Everyone is so traditional these days but God said do not mourn but celebrate and again that is the Word of God. Society loves to blow things out of proportion and dilute any situation. Just let it be. Especially in situations like this snide comments definitely are not needed because it is ungodly and inhumane. It was a LAST DREAM nothing more nothing less.

It is very tragic this young lady died so young but to have Drake perform at her funeral does not seem like a good idea, instead it seems like a ploy. It would take away from this young lady to have drake there for reasons like the comment above…people would come for drake not to honor her life. People die every day unfortunately so what makes this death so remarkable a celebrity should sing for free? What did she do in her lifetime that warrants such attention? Was she an active volunteer saving needy children? Was she herself battling some terminol illness that had affect her entire life? I'm not trying to down play this death at all…I'm just saying let's be realistic because where will this end?
He is offered 100,000 by friends to sing at her funeral. She was a fan, I think that should be enough to warrant attention! Celebrities sing at rich brats birthdays, etc all the time, so why shouldn't he sing at the funeral of a fan, especially when he is being offered money. Think twice next time before posting such a heartless statment…smdh!

Heartless? smdh…. what's heartless is this ploy you guys have come up with using this girls death since I highly doubt she was on her death bed and her last breathe was used to say "ask drake to perform at my funeral"… The pay is not important but to know they are offering 100000 to Drake to sing shows just how sad this situation is. Why not give that money to her family, cover funeral costs, start a scholarship foundation in her name, raise awareness for safe driving to stop these kinds of tragedies from happening, sooo many other things than to waste it on getting Drake to preform. Like I said, her funeral should be about her, her life, and her accomplishments not that she attracted enough attention for Drake to preform/attend so if that's heartless then you must not really be concerned with the life that was lost. I think it would be nice of him to send flowers or write a note to the family but performing is too far in my opinion because again, people, including young people, die every day and their families aren't begging celebrities to perform…it would be unrealistic for celebrities to preform at every tragedy and it is exploitation if more families use their tragedies for a chance to meet their favorite celebrities…

This is a sad topic but I do not think a celebrity should come sing at a funeral, that's a bit much. A note, flowers or a video would be better. I think if he do sing this will start something and I agree with a few people on the post, Drake singing will take away from this girl. I have a twitter account & I did not retweet I do not agree and I know a few people who do not as well. My prayers are with her family and friends but LET'S LEAVE DRAKE OUT OF THIS!

ASHLAND, Ore. – A suspect is facing charges after a series of car break ins in downtown Ashland lead police to arrest him. The drivers of 4 cars in Ashland woke up Friday morning to find their cars broken into; in some cases, windows were smashed in and property was stolen.
All of the break-ins occurred in close proximity to each other in downtown Ashland, including near the intersection of Pioneer Street and Lithia Way. Windows in at least 2 of the cars were smashed and police say the injuries the suspect suffered help lead to his arrest.
28-year-old Jason Dale Fonner, a transient man, has been charged with breaking into the cars and suffered injuries to his hand when he reached through the broken glass. Police say car break-ins do happen in Ashland, but are more common in residential neighborhoods where cars are left unlocked.
"Car break ins are a problem in Ashland. Car break-ins that involve a windows are smashed which happened in this case are not very prevalent in Ashland," said Ashland Police Detective Sergeant Tighe O'Meara.
It may sounds obvious, but police recommend drivers roll up all windows of the car and never leave the car unlocked. Police also say keeping valuables out of sight can help discourage someone from breaking into your car.

ESPN is being called out by the attorney for the woman accusing New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana of rape ... accusing the network of "irresponsible journalism" for revealing her identity.
The woman filed the civil lawsuit for sexual battery under the pseudonym Jane Doe -- but the judge ordered her on Monday to reveal her name. ESPN.com published a story about the case and used her name.
John Clune, the woman's attorney, just blasted ESPN, telling TMZ, "ESPN has now set a dangerous precedent in telling rape victims that this will be their punishment if they attempt to pursue accountability for their celebrity offenders."
Clune, who also repped Kobe Bryant's accuser back in 2003, went on to say, "Disappointingly, ESPN today chose to publicize the identity of a rape victim on their website, despite the obvious attempt by this woman to protect herself and her children from further unwarranted harassment and abuse in pursuing her only remaining avenue to hold Mr. Santana accountable."
ESPN has not yet returned our call.
The argument for making the woman's name public -- it's wrong to let people hide behind a veil of anonymity when they make accusations in civil lawsuits that can ruin someone's life.

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Woman Who Left Her Kids To Wander in Traffic Because She Was Having Sex With The Neighbor?
Huff Po - Florida cops say Crystal Rusaw, 24, left her three children — aged 4 years, 3 years, and 10 months — at their New Port Richey home for hours on end so she could go have sex with the neighbor and sleep, WTSP reported. Worse, the kids, one of whom had soiled himself, made their way to a busy four-lane highway and crossed it alone at 5 a.m. on Sunday. The 4-year-old held the 10-month-old as they dodged traffic. A hero passerby noticed the trio and called authorities, according to ABC News. "It could have been tragic," neighbor Joan Miller told the station. "It's just unbelievable." Deputies arrested Rusaw on Saturday on charges of child neglect, Bay News 9 reports. Deputies told the station that she admitted to her crimes. The neighbor she was allegedly visiting wasn't identified.
You know that scene in Old School when Frank the Tank is in marriage counseling and he says "deep down, I'm feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different." Well I gotta imagine thats what it feels like when you have kids too, no? I mean what is Crystal Rusaw supposed to do in this situation? Bring her kids with her? That will go over like a lead balloon. Then she'd be a "Does This Look Like The Face Of A Woman Who Brought Her Kids With Her To Fuck Her Neighbor?" Is she supposed to lock her idiot kids up while she makes a booty call? I don't think you wanna get that "I put my kids in cages" reputation.
Is she supposed to not fuck at all anymore? Thats not very fair. Pop out a couple kids and all the sudden you don't get any more dick? Just doesn't seem very logical. Maybe the solution is to teach your 4 year old to hold down the fort. Hey pal, you're 4 years old. Quit shitting your pants and keep an eye on your brother and sister while mommy goes and gets some deep dicking. Stay out of traffic and if you need me my head is banging against the other side of the bedroom wall.

Letter to PinkSantaDear PinkSanta,I guess, you are very disappointed by my behaviour yesterday. I know, I was supposed to guard your pink cookies from thieves and what did I do instead? I have eaten them myself, all of them. I know, that was wrong and that this should be a letter of apology for my behaviour. But to be honest, I am not sorry for what I did. I simply cannot be. Please allow me to tell you why...I have been a loyal Christmas elf and servant in your team for meanwhile three hundred years. For one century I have been honoured to being a member of your PinkSanta's Christmas Guard. Fifty years ago my dream came true, when you constituted me PinkSanta's Cookies Guard. In all those fifty years I had always protected your precious cookies from getting stolen and eaten by greedy mice, greedier Christmas elves and even Temoc, the greediest reindeer I have ever met. In all those years I became very curious about what made these pink cookies so special that they were watched. Sometimes, when you had

Sahara Force India F1 Team
"There are a lot of Indians and a lot of our fans based in Singapore, and there's always a great atmosphere in the city. It's one of the highlights of the year, the place looks wonderful when it's lit up and I always look forward to it."
Dr. Vijay Mallya. Team Principal, Sahara Force India
No other team carries the hopes and pride of a nation and subcontinent quite like Force India. For that reason alone the team grabs attention like no other, not least at the FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX, where a huge turnout of supporters is guaranteed.
Some may remember too that a Force India car driven by Giancarlo Fisichella made history in 2008. It muscled its way to the head of the Pit Lane to become the first-ever Formula One™ car to take to the track, for the first ever test session ahead of the inaugural night race.
Somewhat illogically at first sight, the team which is India's sporting flag-carrier is actually based in England, with its headquarters at Silverstone. The conundrum comes about because the team traces its ancestry back to the Jordan team, which was renamed Spyker, and then became Midland - and finally Force India, just in time for the 2008 season.
In fact, the team's base, in the heart of Britain's motorsport equivalent to 'silicon valley', means that the team has easy access to the specialist engineering and scientific resources that can boost development. It is particularly noteworthy that within a 20km radius, Red Bull, Mercedes, Lotus, Williams, Marussia and Caterham are all close neighbours.
Force India's identity and much of its force comes from the charismatic presence of Team Principal Dr. Vijay Mallya, a politician and entrepreneur whose business interests have spilled over into the pursuit of an Indian identity in this global sport. The team though has now grown beyond Dr. Mallya's direct sponsorship, marked in 2011 by the acquisition of a major stake in the team by Lucknow-based magnate Subrata Roy Sahara.
On the track, perhaps Force India is best remembered for a heady period in 2009 when Giancarlo Fisichella earned Force India a surprise pole position at Spa-Francorchamps in 2009 and led the Grand Prix before being forced to give best to Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari. However Fisichella went on to finish second, Force India's best result yet.
After a debut season with Ferrari engines, from 2009 to date the Force India team has been powered by Mercedes and in addition has a technical partnership with McLaren. The has allowed the team to press on with their own aerodynamic and chassis developments while taking advantage of proven engine and gearbox technologies.
This engineering strategy is proving a good one as the 2014 season brings with it a raft of new technologies that otherwise a smaller team might struggle to master. In addition this season Force India has a new driver line-up that brings two proven talents to the team. Sergio Pérez joins from McLaren, while Nico Hulkenberg returns to Force India after a season at Sauber.

One more quick thought on the offense before I hit you with a camp wrap-up of the defense. Here is my story in Saturday's P-I on the situation at tight end. All three of the guys battling for playing time there are confident, but that doesn't mean they're catching the ball. Should be interesting to see how this pans out.

Customizable disk cleaner
Clean your disks with this highly customizable freeware.
There are more disk-cleaning utilities available online than you can shake a memory stick at. They range in price from totally free to double digits, and in performance from excellent to lousy. We looked at a good one, Moo0 DiskCleaner. It's fast, flexible, and can run at startup or whenever you like. You can customize its function as well as its look. It supports some 130 targets, including temporary data, browser caches, and private data.
The Moo0 installation wizard offered to install a free autocomplete search tool as well, but we opted just to install DiskCleaner, which opened when the installer closed. DiskCleaner's semitransparent interface sports muted gray tones with contrasting pea-green sliders and small but colorful program icons, an attractive look but just one of many, many others available on the skins menu; there are literally dozens of choices, including the ability to create your own themes. We could also adjust the display's transparency, font, and size; add custom targets to the main list; and change the interface language from the program's options menu. DiskCleaner automatically scanned our system when we opened it. The main view displayed each item's title, size, description, and location in draggable, rotatable columns. It's possible to select and deselect all items from the program menu, but we recommend taking your cue from the program itself and selecting those items you want cleaned individually. This not only keeps you from accidentally deleting something you meant to keep, but also helps you familiarize yourself with your system's various file caches. We checked everything we wanted to delete and clicked the Clean Now! button. DiskCleaner tracked its progress and very quickly displayed a small pop-up detailing how many files had been cleaned and how many more would be removed upon reboot.
We've also tested Moo0 DiskCleaner Portable, which is a totally portable version of DiskCleaner that is otherwise identical to the installed version. Whichever you choose is a matter of personal preference or particular need, since both do a great job.

Northampton State Hospital
Northampton State Hospital Annual Reports, 1856-1939.
Call no.: Digital
The Northampton State Hospital was opened in 1858 to provide moral therapy to the "insane," and under the superintendency of Pliny Earle, became one of the best known asylums in New England. Before the turn of the century, however, the Hospital declined, facing the problems of overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate funding. The push for psychiatric deinstitutionalization in the 1960s and 1970s resulted in a steady reduction of the patient population, the last eleven of whom left Northampton State in 1993.
With the Government Documents staff, SCUA has digitized the annual reports of the Northampton State Hospital from the beginning until the last published report in 1939. The reports appeared annually from 1856 until 1924 and irregularly from then until 1939.

Enfield (Mass.) Collection, 1800-1939.
Call no.: MS 010
Situated at the confluence of the east and west branches of the Swift River in western Massachusetts, Enfield was the largest and southernmost of the four towns inundated in 1939 to create the Quabbin Reservoir. Incorporated as a town in 1816, Enfield was relatively prosperous in the nineteenth century on an economy based on agriculture and small-scale manufacturing, reaching a population of just over 1,000 by 1837. After thirty years of seeking a suitably large and reliable water supply for Boston, the state designated the Swift River Valley as the site for a new reservoir and with its population relocated, Enfield was officially disincorporated on April 28, 1938.
The records of the town of Enfield, Mass., document nearly the entire history of the largest of four towns inundated to create the Quabbin Reservoir. The core of the collection consists of records of town meetings and of the activities of the town Selectmen, 1804-1938, but there are substantial records for the Enfield Congregational Church. The School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, the town Library Association, and groups such as the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Bethel Masonic Lodge.

bareMinerals is the only make up I use. The cost was better than what I've seen on other sites.
Been using this product for over 10 years - LOVE your price... :)
Could not find this in any stores, I have been waiting for stock for months. I found it here!!!! Very happy!!!
I have used Bare Minerals for several years now and I use the same color year round. This is my first time ordering from Overstock.com and I do not know if they sell out of date products or what but the color did not match the name on the label and it has a strange odor. I ordered two Foundations, one for myself and one as a gift. I am completely embarrassed that I give this as a gift to a long time user of the product also and had to call and explain the condition and quality of the product. I will not order this product from Overstock.com again.
This is one of my favorite products. I have been using the Bare Minerals 'Ready' since it was introduced. The Light is excellent for people with golden yellow undertones. It is wonderful for all seasons. I would try a darker shade (not a bronzer), for sunny climates, as soon as Bare Minerals brings out a new summer color range. Until such time, the BM 'Ready' is the BEST of ALL the mineral makeups on the market! I will continue to purchase this product at Overstock.com whenever they offer good prices.
First time using this product and very impressed. Covers any flaws and feels as if you're not wearing any makeup. Live in a humid climate so I want my makeup to stay on and not feel like it's going to melt off. I also couldn't believe how fast I received it in the mail. Very impressed and happy with this product.
Good product at reasonable price..I would order again.
I have used this product for years. Great price on overstock speedy delivery.
I usually use the bare minerals powder but I got this foundation because I have a new surgical scar on my face. this foundation covers the scar easily with minimal application and looks very natural. just note that you need a darker shade than the bare minerals powder. for example, I use the medium tan foundation but the regular bare minerals medium tan is too dark for me.
I buy this powder compact in the stores. After reading other reviews I hesitated but ordered anyway. The color is off the charts. Golden Tan is more like sunburst Yellow. I don't know who's skin this would match. May be a warehouse of defected product protected by the fact that we cannot return make up items. You may get lucky, but I should have headed the advise of other reviewers. Love you Overstock but get rid of this product!!
This item is not returnable unless the problem you experience is the result of our error.

Spielberg's film, which she aims to complete in 2015, is aimed at a North American audience and highlights the stories of American and Canadian fliers. She speaks of them with obvious awe.
"These men are heroes and the stories of their exploits are incredible," Spielberg said. "It is an honor to talk to them and to show others what they did."
Mike Flint is similarly ebullient. An enthusiastic promoter, he hardly pauses for breath – or for anything else – when describing his documentary.
"I've been preparing for this film all my life, ever since I heard my dad talk about his experiences as a fighter pilot," Flint said.
Flint, the former head of the story department at Paramount Pictures, pegs his budget for the documentary at about $4 million, or three times larger than Spielberg's. He says he has two-thirds of the amount pledged or in hand.
By far the largest backer of the film, and its executive producer, is Mark Lansky, who is also producing a film about his uncle, Meyer Lansky, best remembered as the "accountant" of the Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel organized crime empires. That film, "The Devil Himself," will focus on his uncle's role in breaking up pro-Nazi rallies in New York, aiding the U.S. war effort by keeping dockworker unions in line, and clandestinely supplying an emerging Israel with money and weapons. The film is based on the book "The Devil Himself" by Eric Dezenhall and others.
Mark Lansky, a self-described retired businessman and financial adviser, would not give specific dollar figures, but said he and a small group of fellow investors are covering the bulk of the Flint film's budget. The motive, he stressed, is his conviction that "those who support Israel are blessed."
Dvir in making "A Wing and a Prayer" has the advantage of hands-on experience in the genre – he teaches documentary filmmaking at the University of Florida – and the handicap of a very modest budget of $189,000, mostly his own money.

Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not. While we generally do not seek to edit or actively moderate comments, our spam filter prevents most links and certain key words from being posted and The Jewish Daily Forward reserves the right to remove comments for any reason.
