Beginning school for children is a time of excitement and anxiety, and for parents it can bring worry and concern about their little one. Minor separation anxiety is normal in children. Parents witness normal child anxiety when a stranger reaches to their 8-month-old babies. They continue to witness it until the child is about 2 when he or she is dropped off somewhere new. It's also common for parents and children to experience mild separation anxiety. It's experienced when kids go off to college.
In young children, there are several factors that influence separation anxiety including a child's temperament, as well as how well he or she reunites with parents and teachers. How the parent responds is very important, because a parent's behavior is what many children react to.
How a parent can help a young child minimize separation anxiety:
Develop a routine. Children feel safe when they can count on what will happen. A routine that is the same each day helps children predict events and adds structure to their life. They know when mommy or daddy leave, they will come back.
Don't be late. Talk to your child for several days preparing them for their day. When you leave them, tell them after naptime or whatever the schedule is, I will be there. Then be sure you are there. If for some reason you have a conflict and cannot pick them up, tell them who will and what they can expect. This helps your child feel secure and in control.
Stay positive. If you act worried, concerned or weepy, your child will follow your emotion. Be upbeat about the activities and meeting new friends. Whatever the child enjoys, make sure you promote that activity as much as you can.
Follow the instructor's rules. Your child will form a relationship with their teacher and whatever the teacher says is your child's truth. You may know more about a topic than your child's teacher, but they will correct you if your story doesn't match their teacher. If your child's teacher has a rule, respect it as much as possible at home as well. An example is not allowing certain words to be said. No matter what the word is, if it is negative at school, do not say the word at home.
Know your child's school friends and encourage them to meet outside of school. Helping your child build friendships will help ease their school anxiety. If you know someone in the class, inviting that child over with their parent prior to school will help your child adjust more easily.
Develop a bedtime routine at least two weeks prior to the school year beginning. This will help your child feel more rested.
Let your child help you pack their snack, lunch, and backpack for school with necessary items for the first day of school. This list is usually sent to parents prior to the first day of school.
Talk about transitions. When your child is making a new transition, such as beginning school or starting a new grade in school, talking about it, reading stories about school, and watching cartoons about the subject matter help alleviate worry and fear about the unknown. A parent's goal should be to help their child feel confident that they will be well cared for.
Being there emotionally and physically for teens and tweens helps minimize back to school anxiety, it's equally important to allow them time to explore healthy coping mechanisms on their own. Parents who structure a healthy school environment for their child are mentoring the importance of education in their family. Below are suggestions that can also help.
As your child heads off to college you may think your days of separation anxiety are over, but just the opposite is true. When kids leave home, it's a transition for the child as well as the parents. Every parent feels somewhat emotional when they drive away and leave their child behind to begin a new life on campus. Whether you have looked forward to this day or dreaded it, it will happen, and preparing your child as well as yourself will minimize your anxiety. These few suggestions will help:
Separation is part of life, and learning how to separate from the ones you love most is a lifetime lesson. If your child has difficulty, it will usually pass, but when in doubt, speaking to a counselor is always helpful. Reminding your child that mistakes are learning tools, and that we all make them, helps lessen their anxiety when they are trying to be perfect in their new surroundings. Most children I talk with tell me the one source of comfort their parents gave them that pulled them through many anxious transitions was knowing that they could always go home. Kids need to know their family will always be there no matter where home (geographically) is.

The clear base of the bowl is irregular, like glass hills that have been ground and polished so the bowl sets flat. There is no damage. Unmarked, but attributed with confidence.

William and Mary Green Dingus Cemetery
Scott County
Virginia USA
Cemetery notes and/or description:
William and Mary's graves are a little difficult to find, it took me three trips to locate them. From Dungannon take Rt 65 East across the Clinch River, turn right on Co Rd 659, this River Bluff Rd. Stay on this rd until you come to the Nancy McConnel and Philip Dingus Monument, about 5 miles on the left side of the rd. beside the monument there's a trail (an old road) that will take you to the top of the bluff. Its a steep clime. As you approach the top of the bluff the trail/road splits/forks The old home place is to your left Where the trail/road forks continue to the right. the trail forks again stay to the right, be looking for red masking tape wrapped around a tree beside the trail, right side. When you find the marked tree you are half way there (total distant from the old home place to the graves is about 1 mile) the trail is marked with red masking tape wrapped around trees.

The Flash Dock from PocketDemo is a great way to unite your iPhone, or any similarly sized smartphone, with your DSLR camera. The case is designed to hold your smartphone and attach to the hotshoe on your camera. This allows you to take advantage of the wide range of photography-related apps out there via your 3G, 4G, wireless or Bluetooth connections.
While the hotshoe is only used for holding the adapter, once attached you can reap the benefits of combining your DSLR and smartphone capabilities. Geotag photos with the same GPX files your smartphone apps use. Share photos through social media channels, text messages or via email. Or even use an app to calculate the light meter reading, depth of field, and level your camera to the horizon.
- Holder for iPhone/Smartphone
- Add features to your camera without having to buy an expensive upgrade! Upload to your favorite social media or photo sharing websites, and geotag your images as you shoot them, no trip home or computer required
- Share Photos via 3G / 4G & Wireless
- Your DSLR very likely has no 3G or 4G connectivity built-in, but with this adapter you can add the functionality and all the benefits that come with it. Simply use an Eye-Fi wireless SD memory card and send images to your phone to share with the world. Use your phone's 3G, 4G or wireless connections to quickly share them with friends and family without having to leave the spot you shot them from
- Geotag Photos with GPX Smartphone Files
- Just like mobile and wireless connectivity, your DSLR may not have any GPS capabilities built in, so add them with this adapter. Record your trek with the GPX files your smartphone already uses, then use the files in Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, Picasa or anywhere they are supported
- Geotag Photos via Bluetooth Connections
- Add-on adapters that use Bluetooth connections can send real-time location information to your camera, just like a more expensive GPS receiver. This is another way you can imprint travel data onto your images so you never forget where your favorite photos were taken
- Use Phone's Flash as AF Beam
- The flash your smartphone's camera uses can also be triggered to help your camera autofocus in low light. Without an AF beam, or if the AF is struggling even with one, the bright flash from your smartphone may be all it needs to catch the perfect focus and turn an otherwise blurry image into a keeper
- Use Flashlight Phone Apps as Fill Light
- When the lighting just isn't right, there may be flashlight apps you can download to your phone that turn the smartphone camera flash into a constant-on flashlight. This in turn can be used like an LED fill or video light that will illuminate dark subjects that you otherwise would not have captured
- Attaches to DSLR via Hotshoe
- The camera cannot actually communicate through the hotshoe with your smartphone, but this convenient holder keeps your smartphone right where you need it above the camera. For access to the phone's screen, apps, flash controls, and connections the holder places it all at your fingertips so you can keep your eyes ahead, rather than constantly reaching into your pocket or backpack for your smartphone
- Rotates 90° Vertical / Horizontal
- Keep your smartphone where you can see it, whether you're shooting up to the sky or from down at a low angle. With a 90° vertical / horizontal adjustment you can stand it straight up to use the screen or aim the smartphone's flash, then tilt it back down horizontal for a less obstructed view of your subject

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
One thing they can do to capture the old feel: The music
vgundam posted...
Yeah, but I can't help but think that an orchestra trying to play Garibaldi temple at the same time with not just four people, with an entire string section/harpsichordist/flute/etc going on, that it may suffer, unless they really put alot of effort into it.
Garibaldi Temple orchestrated and performed live is very doable for decent musicians, but what I'm saying is, it's way easier to play the LoS stuff. :T The four hands arrangement is good, however, four handed arrangements for harpsichord tend to be naturally messy, unless you are perfectly on time. I think it sounds fine, but somebody not well versed in classical music won't know why it isn't perfectly on time.
I doubt you could record a four handed version of a harpsichord piece for a game soundtrack without fans not knowing how difficult a harpsichord is to time, then asking why the harpsichord track sounds like s***.
Long story short, it's way easier to synth stuff, especially if you have to make 10+ compositions for a game. What I think people should do is perform a few tracks live, which are great creative compositions, then synth the rest if need be. I think there are ways around this problem, I just think the motivation, and creativity of some composers isn't up for the job, clearly it wasn't for LoS1. That or he just likes really really boring music.
And, whoever posted about the effeminate thing, thanks for saying that. I would wonder how much of that got lost in translation about the music being effeminate, or what pieces exactly were that way. I know konami said that about the previous castlevania art style, but the music? I wonder specifically what they were referring to.
And vgundam, I am not one of those michiru yamane crazy fans, I just use her musical examples because people seem to know it. Seriously, I used to have my own piano transcription of 'chandeliers' on youtube, and i also made adjustments to dhsu's clockwork arrangement for piano, just for my own version. Jorge D Fuentes helped out with his midi sheets as well.
Honestly I think Super Castlevania 4 is right on par with SOTN as far as music goes, or just behind it really. I don't think it's quite as good, for me personally, because of SC4's jazz influence. I don't care for alot of the jazz modulations, though they do seem to fit the character of the levels/game. Most of the SC4 soundtrack is awesome though.
J. S. Bach isn't always that simple, either. Try listening to Art of the Fugue, or Fantasy and Fugue in G minor "The Great". Yea, it's still all baroque modulations, but the thematic creativity, especially for music from a conservative period like that, is pretty remarkable. For me to say that means alot also. I can't stand conservative stuff, usually.
So I hear David Cox has gone on record saying that classic CV tunes will be in this one, in addition to the LOS score.
Pokemon Black FC: 3740-3024-4512
^ Yeah, but he also went on the record and said that he personally hated QTEs and they would be kept out of LoS, but look what happened.
Meet me bak at mah castle 4 sum wiked storwies...
There will be delicious /cake/ :3

lcd vs. led/lcd tv's...
Looking at tv's at Costco.... I see they advertise lcd and led/lcd tv's. How much, if any, does having a tv with led lighting help with the electric bill? Right now I watch an older 2003 13" tv. I would like an lcd, but am scared to death of a bigger (it's big enough already!) electric bill. I usually have tv on even if not watching it because I can't stand it when it is so quiet in the house. TY!
more than likely any LCD TV will (Unless a great big one) will use less power than the 13" TV you have now.
Look at the back of your TV, it should show the power (Watts or VA) that it uses. Then look at the new TV sets you are interested in LCD or LED LCD. You can even look the numbers up on the net for TV's you may be interested in. Most "LED" TV's are actually LED LCD TV's and you will pay more for these compared to a "regular LCD TV" soo you wont live long nuff to see the money you save going the LED LCD route (yet).
Course stay away from plasma, they are gettin the power levels they draw down, but if you leave the TV on all the time , as you say, The LCD will last longer.
Good luck
Here's a chart that should answer your question.
Here is a link that might be useful: Power Used For LCD And Plasma HDTVs
dodge and jimi....I have a June 2002 13" Orion. On the back it says 120 v, 60mhz, 54 watt. I take this to mean that it uses 54 watts. There isn't a LCD tv on the site you gave me jimi that came close to that. I would want a 40" (about", and they seem to be almost 3 times the wattage if I am reading the chart correctly.
From what I know the LED TVs have used quite a bit more power than a traditional LCD TV in the same screen size. This type of LED television approaches plasma displays in power usage. The edge lit LED televisions use less power than an LCD of the same size.
Here is a link that might be useful: led televisions
I have to say the LED TV are way cooler if you can afford one. Go for it.

Well I've lost my spare bedroom/brewhouse to the new roommate but on the upside I'll have more funds to devote to my craft. Now, aside from the garage the only other viable space is under the stairs in the laundy room. However, I'm concerned that with it being right next to the hot water heater and the HVAC unit it would be less than ideal conditions. As long as I don't work with any open fermentation vessels with the heat/AC on should I be ok with airlocked carboys? Should I try to build an insulated fermentation chamber to try and reduce the fluctuations in temperature? Am I completely overthinking this? Another plus side is that there's a slop sink in there so I wouldn't have to go to far to clean things.
Take a quick- read themometer in there and check the temps. Do it at various times during the day to see how much temps fluctuate. That ought to give you an idea of your fermentation space.
An insulated fermentation box is always a good idea. I'd spend $10 on a digital min/max thermometer and see what the variations are.
It is impossible to form an explosive mixture from fermentation. Exploding bottles are a different sort of thing.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"

Good location in the beautiful Tuscany. Nadia and Felice were very helpful with their suggestions. Rooms were clean and quiet, each one with private bathroom (very small but with everything in its place). Quality/Price ratio is excellent and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean hotel with a familiar athmosphere.

During the wintertime its very difficult to find a nice place to stay (and not paying too much fot a night or two in comparising with the fucntion of the hotel where you only stay to sleep and have breakfast)and I can surely say that Hotel Roberta meeted our requirements. Its a very friendly, real Italian, familyhotel and we made a promise to the owner couple to have diner at their place in the summer of 2005, when we are in Sarteano again. We already told out kids (21, 19, 16 years) that we will go there to meet the real Italian familyspirit and undoubtedly very good cooking. The rooms are not too big, but comfortable enough. So, we made up out minds and said that in future when we are only in Sarteano for a couple of days, we certainly will stay in Hotel Roberta. Peter Winkens Sin Michielsgestel The Netherlands

Blimey! PC's iconic clock tower was toppled after a tornado ripped through campus during spring break. The tornado struck sometime during the night of March 31, felling the tower at the entrance of Student Services Building D, which came to rest on its side in front of the PUB. "Fortunately there were no hands on deck at the time," said Cap'n Luke Robins.
Peninsula College Accounting faculty member, Gail Peet, has been selected as a recipient of the 2015 Anna Sue McNeill Assessment, Teaching and Learning Award.
"This honor is bestowed upon individuals in recognition of outstanding contributions to teaching, student learning and assessment and commitment to supporting and providing educational opportunities for all students," according to a Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
Local students are turning their life experience into credits that help them achieve a high school diploma.
Morgan Carl and Stephen DeVoe have been named to the 2015 All-Washington Academic Team from Peninsula College. They will be honored in a special ceremony March 26 at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia.
Peninsula College is pleased to offer a brand new class, Creative Abstract Art (item #N145), to its spring quarter roster. Students will explore abstract art following a step-by-step process to build paintings that are expressive and creative. Classes will feature demonstrations, lectures, and hands-on painting, using acrylics. Students will have some homework in preparation for each session. Some experience in painting, in any genre, will be useful. Artists who have taken Terry Grasteit's previous classes will find this a new, expressive approach to abstraction!
Winners have been named for the 2015 edition of Tidepools, Peninsula College's art, music, and literary magazine.
Cale Rodriguez of Redlands, California this week became the fourth head coach in the storied history of Peninsula College soccer. The Pirates, winners of three Northwest Athletic Conference championships and six West Division titles, will now be guided by Rodriguez, who brings significant soccer experience to the program.
PORT ANGELES – Cale Rodriguez of Redlands, California this week became the fourth head coach in the storied history of Peninsula College men's soccer.
The Pirates, winners of three Northwest Athletic Conference championships and six West Division titles, will now be guided by Rodriguez, who brings significant soccer experience to the program.
"We are very pleased to have Cale in our Pirate family," said Athletic Director Rick Ross. "We had a lot of interest in this position, 35 applicants from eight countries, and we liked Cale's experience, his passion for soccer, and his fit for our college and for this community."
KENNEWICK – The Peninsula Pirates rode a wave of determination, talent, and unselfish team play through four rounds of a heavyweight fight at the Toyota Center, knocking out all four opponents by double figures, to win the first Northwest Athletic Conference championship in Peninsula College women's basketball history.
Head coach Alison Crumb quietly wept as her players celebrated near center court Tuesday following their 85-75 win over heavily-favored Lane.
"The girls played tough the entire season," Crumb said. "I think our toughness and depth showed during the end of games when we needed it. We hung around until we could find an opportunity to take over – and that is a winning quality."
The NWAC North Division Coach of the Year also talked about the chemistry this team has.
"The girls believe in each other and will be connected forever," she said. "I'm so proud of this team and the coaching staff. We may have been the only ones back in September who knew we would be in that moment, but that's all that matters."
Peninsula College will celebrate "that moment" at 2 p.m. Friday in the Pirate Union Building where President Dr. Luke Robins will host a ceremony that will feature both the NWAC champion women's team and the third-place men's team.
The championship victory was the 17th straight for the Pirates, who became the first North Division women's team to win the NWAC championship since it came to the Toyota Center in Kennewick 14 years ago.
Sophomore Madison Pilster was named the Tournament Most Valuable Player, freshman Zhara Laster made the All-Tournament First Team and Gabi Fenumiai was All-Tournament Second Team.
Peninsula finished 23-5 overall and 13-1 in North Division play, and became the seventh Pirate team in five years to win an NWAC championship. Since the 2010-11 year, the College has captured three men's soccer titles, two women's soccer titles, a men's basketball title, and now its first women's basketball championship award to add to the trophy case. The NWAC is comprised of 35 community colleges from Washington and Oregon.
KENNEWICK – The Pirates went 3-1 to capture third place at the 2015 Northwest Athletic Conference Basketball Championships, Peninsula College's third-best finish in school history.
The PC men, the fourth seed from the North Division, opened the tournament by upsetting top-seeded Clackamas, and proceeded to dispatch Highline in the second round before falling to tournament runner-up Edmonds, the NWAC's No. 1-ranked team, in the semifinals.
Peninsula then rallied with a pair of free throws from sophomore Jal Deng with three seconds remaining to beat Green River in the game for third and fourth place on Tuesday afternoon.
"Words cannot express how proud I am of our players, managers, coaches and our athletic support staff for the commitment they have made to the countless hours of practice, video, scouting, and the community events that go into preparing to have success on the basketball court," second-year head coach Mitch Freeman said. "That started in September and is just now coming to an end."
"Our guys made a great run that started with thrilling victory over Skagit Valley to put us into the NWAC Tournament," he said. "Once we got to the tourney we focused on that one game that was in front of us and nothing else. Coach Jon Ing and coach Brian Shirley were instrumental in all aspects of scouting that allowed our guys to prepared for all 4 games in the tourney."
Come by Peninsula College's Advanced Manufacturing – Composites Technology and Green Building booth at the Clallam County Home & Lifestyle Show, scheduled for this Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 from 9:30am – 4:00pm in the Port Angeles High School Gym.
PORT ANGELES – Head coach Alison Crumb has come full circle.
Her Pirates captured the 2015 North Division championship last week, marking the first time a Peninsula College women's basketball team has done that since she donned a Pirate jersey herself back in 2005.
This year's team, however, won the title with a 13-1 conference record, the best ever in the 17-year history of the program. The Pirates also rose to No. 4 in the final Alaska Airlines Coaches Poll, the highest ranking ever for a PC women's basketball team.
"To win the North as a player and coach just shows how much of an impact Peninsula College has had on my collegiate, and now coaching, career," Crumb said. "I'm very thankful to have had the opportunity to play here and extremely thankful to begin my coaching career here. It's very humbling to look back and think of all the memories that I have been a part of at Peninsula College. It's had a profound impact on my life and I'm just very grateful."
Her players too are grateful.
They take a 19-5 overall record into the NWAC Tournament as the No. 1 seed from the North, meeting first-time NWAC Tournament-qualifier Portland (6-6, 13-13) at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Toyota Center in Kennewick.
PORT ANGELES – It didn't take long for head coach Mitch Freeman and his staff to reach the postseason.
In just his second year as the skipper of the Pirate ship, Freeman recruited a team that not only posted an unprecedented 3.5 team grade point average fall quarter, but a team that became the 11th since Peninsula College resurrected men's basketball in 1996 to qualify for the Northwest Athletic Conference Basketball Championships.
"Our guys are very excited about the trip to Tri-Cities and we will be sure to embrace this experience," Freeman said.
His Pirates (7-7, 14-12) placed fourth in the North Division and will tackle the No. 1 seed out of the South, Clackamas (11-3, 19-10) at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Toyota Center in Kennewick in the first round of the 16-team men's tournament.
"They are a well-coached team with depth and experience at almost every position," Freeman said of the NWAC's fifth-ranked Cougars. "They have post players who are strong and change shots near the basket. They have a dynamic backcourt with Jaylen Edwards, who knows how to run a team, and the south region MVP Brandon Halter, who is one of the best shooters we will have faced this year. I think we match up well against them, but we will have to know where Brandon Halter is at all times and attempt to keep their post players from getting easy looks inside."
PORT ANGELES – Peninsula College's Alison Crumb was named North Division Women's Basketball Coach of the Year, Madison Pilster was named Most Valuable Player and eight other Pirates were honored as All-Conference selections were announced Monday by the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges.
Crumb, in her fifth year as head coach for Peninsula, was named North Division Coach of the Year following her teams' first conference championship since Crumb was a Pirate herself in 2005.
"In just five years, Ali has established herself as one of the top women's basketball coaches in the NWAC," said Athletic Director Rick Ross. "She has worked very hard and she didn't cut any corners. She is a tremendous coach, her players love and respect her, and we couldn't be more proud of her achievement."
The Port Angeles product admitted that the award is special to her.
"This award means a lot," Crumb said, "because it shows growth in a program that I care a lot about."
Following her graduation from Western Oregon University, she spent one year as an assistant coach and then was promoted to head coach in 2009.
"I had no idea what I was doing, and over the years, and with a lot of help, the program has become a championship contending program and that is important to me," she said. "What is most important to me, however, is the ability to achieve this award with this group of women. We all care a lot for each other and they are as happy for me as I am for them."

Red House Tomato
I'm Looking for an Heirloom tomato called red house. By all the descriptions they are perfect size for a patio but they are nowhere to be found and I'm wondering why. Has anybody grown them or recommend them? And where can the seeds be found?
The proper name is Red House Free Standing and I've linked below to Tania's page for it and if you click on seed availability you'll see that seeds are available at Seeds of Change, at least for 2013.
I grew it many many years ago, and thought it was nothing special, and today there are so many new dwarf varieties that I think are much better than that one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Red House Free Standing
I tried it 3 different times and have to agree that it is nothing special. An attractive plant, 3' tall, sturdy, rugose leaves, etc. but the fruit are relatively small and have little flavor.
It used to be carried by several different seed suppliers until about 3 years back. But many quit carrying the seeds. I assume due tot he poor reviews it got.
There are several much better patio type varieties but most are hybrid varieties.
And I would suggest that you take a look at some Dwarf varieties developed in the past few years with colors and sizes not seen before.
The link below is from Tania's website.
If you click on the various varieties you can see pictures and comments and seed sources for each one if you click on Seed Availability.
They would be perfect for a patio and indeed one of the incentives behind starting this project was to make available varieties for container growing.
Hope that helps,
Carolyn, and nothing wrong with Earl of Edgecombe,which I introduced by first listing it in the SSE YEarbookin 1997, I love that variety, I just think the Dwarfs might be more interesting for a patio.

The Diversity of Embedded Linux
Cars, POS systems, device drivers and more.
It's been about a year since we decided an embedded Linux magazine was needed. With each issue we hear about more people picking Linux for their embedded OS.
That doesn't surprise me, but the diversity of the systems does. In this issue alone we find Linux in cars as well as point-of-sale systems. In past issues we have seen Linux in PDAs, sonars, entertainment systems as well as in an observatory. Also, we continue to see more and more platforms being supported.
When I left on vacation in June, I turned ELJ over to LJ Editor in Chief, Richard Vernon. When I got back he told me he had always wanted to edit a car magazine. If the cover isn't enough of a clue, read his interview with Dr. Wieland Holfelder plus Stuart Warren's ``In-Vehicle Data Logging''. Good work, Richard. After all, there are a lot more cars out there than Linux systems--so far.
Looking at other specifics, the Squirrel POS combines an NT-based server and Linux thin clients to build a modern POS system. While the final product is proprietary, open-source software is included in the solution.
If your embedded product needs to include a web browser, Simon Hausmann shows you how KDE's Konqueror has been ported to QT/Embedded without loss of compatibility with modern web sites or the standard version of Konqueror.
Getting even geekier, for those of you who feel like you want to write a device driver for a real-time system, we start a two-part series to help save you from having to re-invent the wheel.
If you grew up with M68000 systems and now want or need to do some embedded work, check out Greg Ungerer's internet appliances article. He shows you how to use Motorola's ColdFire processor to build an embedded system.
In the third and final part of Automating the Physical World, Bryce Nakatani addresses the part of a system we all wish didn't exist--dealing with system failures. If you have found his series useful, fear not. He will continue to write for ELJ.
Finally, with phase one of the NIC contest coming to a close, it is the ideal time for Jay Sissom to explain how to boot a NIC from a network--good information for contest finalists and anyone else who might see the NIC as an embedded platform.

Tornado watch is in effect for Charlotte, area
A tornado watch is in effect for Charlotte and areas to the west and north until the early-morning hours Monday, as strong thunderstorms threaten the western Carolinas.
The tornado watch is in effect for 1 a.m., covering Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Rowan, Iredell, Alexander, Catawba, Caldwell, Watauga, Burke, McDowell, Rutherford, Lincoln, Gaston and Cleveland counties in the Charlotte region.
No South Carolina counties are included in the watch. Nor are any counties to the east of Charlotte.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m., severe thunderstorms were pounding an area from Shelby to around Asheville. Severe thunderstorms warnings were in effect for Cleveland and Rutherford counties in North Carolina and for northern Cherokee County in South Carolina.
Those storms earlier produced winds estimated by an off-duty National Weather Service staff member as 70 mph in Asheville. There were numerous reports of downed tree and power lines in Buncombe and surrounding counties. Those storms appeared to be moving toward the east.
Severe thunderstorms, some with hail 2 to 3 inches in diameter, battered eastern Tennessee and southeast Kentucky for much of the afternoon. Some of these storms kept their intensity as they moved into the mountain counties along the Virginia and Tennessee borders.
There have been numerous reports of wind damage since 4 p.m. in eastern Tennessee, along with two reports of tornadoes.
The storms have lost some of their intensity while crossing the mountains, but Scott Krentz of the National Weather Service office in Greer, S.C., said forecasters think the storms could re-form east of the mountains late Sunday night and move into the foothills and Piedmont.
The severe weather is forming in advance of a strong cold front that is expected to bring below-average temperatures -- a taste of autumn, some forecasters call it -- to the Carolinas from Tuesday into at least next weekend.

I received products from Surf Sweets to facilitate this review; all opinions are my own. For parents raising kids with food allergies and sensitivities or on special diets, holidays can be a burden because your child is exposed to so much junk candy: at school, at events, at respite care, even at holiday faith services. A parent has to be extremely vigilant, engaged and even get on board (or into the activity) to make sure your child doesn't indulge. The Dangers of Toxic Treats & Artificial Colors But even if your child does not have allergies or sensitivities, you may want to consider allergy friendly candy for one reason: some of the top mainstream candy brands contain the worst toxins. For example, at this time of year, candy is notorious for being artificially colored. … [Read More...]

The last two weeks at church have been difficult. Normally we gather and then, when we've all arrived, we launch into worship but these Sundays our leader has done a mini-lesson on getting our heart right. I'd been frustrated at the first one and this week, I was so distracted by reviewing my week that I couldn't immerse myself in worship at all. Maybe it was because I believed I'd had a pretty good week, spiritually. I had been praying continually. Well maybe not all the time but far more than usual and doing on-the-spot drop-and-pray moments for any prayers requests. I conquered a big temptation with a chunk of scripture I memorized (it was still hard fought even after that but I managed). I also got an answer to something critical that's been weighing on me. In God terms, it had … [Read More...]

Affix dishwasher power cord to wall?
I just replaced my built in 24â 10 year old dishwasher with a new one. The old dishwasher was powered through a power cord plugged into a receptacle under the kitchen sink, so I kept that setup.
My question is: Can I, should I, affix the power cord to the wall inside the cabinet? It seems like it would be better if the cord is elevated. I guess, same for the garbage disposal cord which is also plugged into the same receptacle?
Any advice appreciated.
"The NEC limits the permissible length of such cords. so the excess length will be minimal."
The length is long enough to allow the appliance to be pulled out from under the counter for servicing while still connected to power.
When it is in its regular position there is a bunch of excess cord hanging around.
Just shove it in the DW compartment on the floor.

GPG: the Best Free Crypto You Aren't Using, Part II of II
Last month I introduced the GNU Privacy Guard, a free but underutilized implementation of the OpenPGP encryption standards. GnuPG is, as you may know, extremely useful for encrypting and decrypting electronic files, especially e-mail, and for creating and verifying digital signatures.
But alas, by the time I was done explaining the basics of public key cryptography and the Web of Trust, not to mention doing my best to frighten you into signing each other's keys and checking unknown keys for validity, all there was room for in the way of practical examples was some compiling/installing advice and a little tutorial on verifying digitally signed files.
Well, this month is the payoff for the more technically inclined. Let's pick up right where we left off!
Before you encrypt, decrypt or sign anything, you need to build your own public and private keyrings; let's start by generating a GnuPG key pair. This is one of the more interactive gpg functions: the command syntax is simply gpg --gen-key, which triggers a question-and-answer session prior to your keys actually being generated. Listing 1 shows a sample key-generation session (user input in boldface). As you can see, you need to decide several things when generating a key: key type, key length, expiration date and the e-mail address (identity) you wish to associate with the key.
Listing 1. Generating a GnuPG Key Pair
For a general-purpose key pair, choose DSA/ElGamal (option #1). This actually gives you two sets of keys: a DSA key pair that will be used by gpg for signing/verifying and an ElGamal pair that gpg will use for encrypting/decrypting. Don't worry that this will double the amount of keys you need to keep straight: the DSA and ElGamal keys are stored as a single file, as are the two public keys.
If you want to generate a signing-only key pair, choose DSA only (option #2). If you want an encryption-only key pair, choose ElGamal only (option #3).
I recommend against creating a dual-purpose ElGamal key pair, however (option #4). In Applied Cryptography, Bruce Schneier describes a simple attack that can work against schemata that use the same key pair used for both signing and encrypting. This "chosen plaintext" attack is quite literally a textbook example of the danger of using the same key material for both encryption and digital signatures.
Key size is of the utmost importance. The smallest key size supported by GnuPG is 768 bits, but 1,024 is recommended as having the best balance of security and performance. (A longer key is more secure but takes longer to compute and to use; a shorter key is faster to compute and use but is less secure.) Note that when you choose a combined DSA/ElGamal key pair, the DSA key length automatically is set to 1,024 bits, and the key length you're prompted for actually applies to the ElGamal key.
I Thought 128 Bits Was a Large Key Length!
Next you need to think about how long you want this key pair to remain in circulation. On the one hand, if your key never expires, you never have to go to the trouble of generating new key pairs. The disadvantage of this is that if you forget the private key's passphrase and haven't created and kept a revocation certificate (which I'll explain shortly), it will be very difficult to remove the key from any keyservers it's listed on.
On the other hand, if your key expires after some period of time, then you need never worry about obsolete keys sitting around on public keyservers indefinitely: if your e-mail address changes, you decide that your key's length is no longer adequate, or if someone obtains a copy of your private key, you can rest assured that even if for some reason you can't revoke your old key it will die of old age. The only disadvantage of finite-lifetime keys is having to generate, distribute and get people to use your new keys periodically.
I used to use only non-aging keys but have become convinced that the pros of expiration dates outweigh the cons. Therefore, I recommend that you set your key to expire after no more than 18 or 24 months. For me, one year is too short (tempis fugit!), but I doubt that a key much older than a year and a half or two years can stand up to the inevitable advances in computing power and/or factoring technology (i.e., public-key cracking methods) that will have occurred over its lifetime.
Next you need to specify a name, e-mail address and also an optional comment. Note that you can associate additional e-mail addresses with your key later by using gpg's --edit-key flag and issuing an adduid and/or an addkey command.
The last thing you need to think about in generating your key is a good passphrase. And I do mean passphrase: it can and should contain spaces. The longer it is, the more secure it is. You should also incorporate some combination of numbers, mixed case (e.g., bOTTLE rockeT) and punctuation. Lately, I've taken to generating my passphrases with dice and a word list. See diceware.com for a handy procedure for doing this yourself.
Whatever you do, don't choose a short, predictable or otherwise guessable passphrase. It doesn't have to look like "B1&SSja-sd0c as-d$%@KFSAAs-,ssd w0a-00sdp23m", nor should it look like "My lame passphrase". It's okay to write your passphrase on a small card you keep in your wallet if doing so makes it easier for you to use hard-to-guess passphrases. (Just be careful never to leave it sitting around and to always put it away when you're done with it!)

- ONDARTE - International Artist ResidencyDiane Richey-Ward - artist video / profile
After a rather short conversation with our July artist Diane Richey-Ward from the USA, we managed to edit this small teaser / interview just to present Diane to you and to hear in her own words a bit about her work. She talked about her technique, the joys of teaching, the fundamental importance of travel and the fact that sometimes she can't think of 'stuff' to say. We beg to differ after she eloquently spoke non-stop for 25 minutes. Beautiful!. We've added her CV and some work images in order for you to get a better idea of what Diane is all about. You can also check out her website and alternate links. Future videos will follow along with interviews with all of our Artists in Residency.
- DIANE RICHEY-WARDArtist StatementMy recent drawings represent the primary stages of anongoing series combining man-made and organic form. I have a continuinginterest in line, and how it relates to motion and energy in a work ofart. My previous series haveincluded transparent and sculptural elements, in addition to videoinstallations. I attempt to create an environment where the vigor, or forcecreated by the form is retained in the piece. I'm also searching for anunexpected trace order in chaos- a flash of a new system of relationships thatcompel the viewer to continue examining the piece.
Cezanne one said, "There must not be a single link tooloose, not a crevice through which may escape the emotion, the light, thetruth."
I'm intrigued by the progression of one form as it morphsinto another, in addition to the challenge of converging diverse imagery. Iplan to further investigate the potential of layering as it relates to thecoalescence of form and idea.
This series initially began as a set of blueprints drawn fora mechanically-driven society inhabited by strange hybrid beings. At Ondartethis July, I hope to further develop these mechanized figures , hopinginteresting combinations materialize that combine clear shapes and "form thatis in the process of becomingsomething else".CurriculumVitaeEDUCATION:

One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
The Parrot MiniDrone Jumping Sumo gives you a ground-level look at your environment as it spins and jumps at your command.
