Alzheimer Society campaign tackles stigma of dementia in Campbell River
If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do?
If you answered "yes," you're not alone.
According to a recent poll by Alzheimer's Disease International, 40 per cent of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis.
It's no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis, says Jane Hope, the Campbell River support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C.
That's why the Society has chosen "See me, not my disease. Let's talk about dementia" as the theme of the annual Alzheimer Awareness Month, which runs through January nationally. The goal is to address myths about the disease, shift attitudes and make it easier to talk about dementia, says Hope.
"Stereotypes and misinformation are what prevent people with dementia from getting the help they need and stop others from taking the disease seriously."
For example, Alzheimer's disease is more than having the occasional "senior moment" or losing your keys. It is a progressive degenerative brain disorder that affects each person differently. Sadly, it is fatal and there is no cure.
"Although one in three Canadians know someone with dementia, it is not discussed as openly as other chronic illnesses, so the prevalence is there but the conversation isn't yet and that's what we hope to address," explains Hope.
Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, 70,000 whom are British Columbians.
While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every five years after 65. The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, including more than 177,000 British Columbians.
"By talking more openly about dementia, we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis and provide support for families to have the confidence and skills for the journey ahead."
To help change the conversation, she says, area residents can do their part if they:
- Learn the facts about dementia.
Help to dispel inaccurate information to change society's attitudes and opinions towards people with the disease.
- Stop making jokes about Alzheimer's which trivialize the condition.
"We don't tolerate racial jokes, yet dementia-related jokes are common."
- Maintain relationships with people with dementia at home, in the community or at work, especially as the disease progresses.
To learn more about the Let's Talk About Dementia campaign, visit www.alzheimerbc.org. For information on local assistance contact Hope toll-free at 1-800-462-2833 or email@example.com.

The Girl From Kosovo
by Graham whittaker
A poem inspired by a picture of a tree which stands in the garden of a friends house
For so many years here I've stood
My roots, trunk & branches made of wood
Watching the seasons pass me by
Whilst my leaves in autumn take to the sky
As they fall off & flutter down to the ground
I'm aware of the turmoil all around
My spirit feels only anger & fear
The one that cares for me & holds me dear
Although I'm a tree she feels love for me
Her hurt & pain I can not see
It comes as a feeling & thought to my being
I'm more than a tree that most are seeing
That I can't help her fills me with despair
The way she is treated just isn't fair
She's a kind gentle soul forever done wrong
I loved to hear her poetry & song
But she went away I knew not why
So I sent out my love across the sky
Hoping one day she would return
To feel her love is what I did yearn
Now she is here back in her home
I only wish is she'll never again roam
Leaving me here in the silence & cold
Not seeing when my leaves turn to gold
Or bright green in the time of the spring
As they flourish & grow as I hear her sing
Playing along to the piano she loves
As her song passes up to all those above
Her talent is true & needs lots of care
So she can progress & with others then share
I will watch over her in case she may need
Then guide the others their love they then feed
She doesn't want fame just for others to know
How blame, hurt & pain can stop you to grow

By virtue of its amazing and elegant engineering, the recognition of the historic architectural value of the Ralph Munroe Miami Marine Stadium marks a milestone in Miami-Dade historic preservation. By now the MiMo architectural wonderland of modest motels along Biscayne Boulevard between 54th and 77th Streets, designated a few short years ago, has become Greater Miami's hippest enclave hands down. More recently much of North Beach was placed on the National Register by virtue of its large and fine ensemble of Mid-century Modern neighborhoods and landmarks. This landmark and these districts illustrate the great variety and richness of Greater Miami's Mid-century Modern legacy. After all, the Post-World War II years were an extraordinary time in American history and it was a period of great expansion in Miami. Only 54 years-old in 1950, Greater Miami was destined to be the American metropolis with the greatest proportion of 1950s and 60s architecture. The period's advances in industry, technology and affluence are written across the cityscape.
I had a wonderful time at the house, it's lovely. Awesome place to stay and awesome location. There's always a place to park and it's near everything. I'll defenitely recomend it
The listing is accurate. The house and the room are exactly what they look like in the photos. There was some initial confusion about room allocation when we arrived but it was sorted out quickly. We never got to meet Branka. However , her proxy - Mr. Enes was warm and friendly.
We fully enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. All rooms are clean and neat and parking was available at all times.
We didn't meet Branka but communication prior to our stay was always fast and informative. Check-in was easy, totally recommend staying there!
Leuke sfeervolle ontmoetingsplaats voor reizigers. Goede uitvalsbasis voor Miami. Je hebt wel een auto nodig om alle plekken snel te kunnen bereiken. waaronder het geweldige Wynwoods Arts District, een creatieve buurt vol met hoog niveau graphiti.
The place was cute and artsy. Nothing crazy but a great price and very central. I wouldn't not recommend this place if you do not have a car. We had a car and bikes and drove a few miles closer to Miami beach everyday to ride around.
Enes met me when I arrived. The place was good for a quick trip, and the price was great.
Smokers are allowed to smoke in the balcony which led to cigarette smell going into one of the bedrooms, there were spots on the bed sheet and dog manure on the lawn.
Owner was not there, very short but prompt with the message reply for the reservation but not when there are issues.
The person who looks after the house was friendly.

Paraoxonase-1 Enzyme Activity Assay for Clinical Samples: Validation and Correlation Studies
Mahdi Garelnabi, Abdelmoneim Younis
(Department of Clinical Laboratory and Nutritional Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, MA, USA)
Med Sci Monit 2015; 21:902-908
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) enzyme is reported in various types of tissues and linked to numerous pathophysiological disorders. It is a potential biomarker in many pathological conditions such as cardiovascular diseases.
Material and Methods: We conducted several small-scale studies to evaluate PON1 performance as affected by sample types, storage, and interferences. We also carried out short-term studies to compare the performance of the widely used PON1 assay to the similar commercially available PON1 kit assay method; sample size for the method comparison was N=40, and the number varied for other validation experiments.
Results: Our studies using various types of anticoagulants show that samples collected in tubes with NaF, citrate, EDTA, clot activator, and sodium heparin have increased PON1 levels that are 49%, 24.5%, 19.8%, 11.4%, and 8%, respectively, higher compared to serum samples collected in plain tubes. However, samples collected in lithium heparin tubes demonstrated 10.4% lower PON1 levels compared to serum collected in plain tubes. Biological interference such as hemolysis has little effect on PON1 levels; however, samples spiked with lipids have shown 13% lower PON 1 levels. Our studies comparing the PON1 method commonly available for PON1 assay and a similar non-ELISA commercially available PON1 kit method showed a weak Spearman correlation coefficient of R2=0.40 for the range of 104.9–245.6 U/L.
Conclusions: The current study provides new validation data on enzyme PON1 performance. While no appreciable change was seen with storage, samples type affects the enzyme performance. Our results should en... read more

Robotic Surgery Not Always Worth ItNovember 16, 2010 5:08 am | News | Comments
Traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery results in similar clinical outcomes, compared with robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, but at a significantly lower cost, concludes a new retrospective analysis of a large, national data-base. While the promotion of robot-assisted surgery has increased over the years, the study, a retrospective review of 36,188 patient records from 358 hospitals, found the robot-assisted hysterectomy procedure costs $2,667 more, on average for inpatient procedures and $1,971 more for outpatient procedures, than traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy surgery with no significant improvement in clinical outcomes.

What's your experience with tick bites this season?
I have been bitten about 5 times this season. I'm in Ulster County. Two have been deer ticks which I've never had before this year. I had to literally dig one out of my head this week. It was really engorged with blood.
I took the 200mg of doxycycline, but can't figure out why this is a prophylactic measure. It doesn't cure anything, does it? I also read that ticks can transmit a bunch of other diseases like encephalitis and other bacterial/viral/parasite diseases. I've studied this a lot.
I shower everyday that I am outdoors. Some days I find one climbing the shower wall. I found one on my shampoo bottle.
This is freaking me out to the point that I don't want to garden. I'm a dancer, and the thought of having lyme disease is scary. This, after 40 years of gardening.
What have you experienced?
I'm a bit further north in Columbia County. It's been a harsh winter and a cold, wet and lengthy Spring. I was hoping the cold winter would help keep the population down, but no such luck. Ticks seem as heavy this year as I have ever seen them.
But don't let them keep you out of the garden. You were given doxycycline to prevent lyme disease. An infected tick must be attached for at least 24 hours to transmit lyme disease, and even then it's not a guaranteed process. If you're infected, you'll see a "target" symbol, a flushed red mark, around a round white ring, around the innermost red bitemark. It's very distinctive. Here's an image link: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnhetTldV61t58CpUAlNWqsbtjhUuCv8nZAswGH9Oj6QLUWDfvfA
If you get the tick off you at the end of the day, you're pretty safe from contracting lyme. Tips to keep them off of you:
- use DEET spray around your neck and head, hands, and below the knees.
- Wear boots, kneelength is best, and tuck in your pant legs. Tuck in your shirt. Wear long sleeves. This makes the ticks climb all the way up the outside of your clothing to get to you, which lowers their odds significantly.
- Do a full body check at the end of the day. Pay special attention to your hairline, ears (including inside), belly button, armpits and crotch.
Here's a good article from the CDC on tick/lyme prevention: http://www.cdc.gov/features/lymedisease/

No lineup tinkering for now
Apr 6, 2011, 10:27 PM EDT
US Presswire photo
Jayson Werth has only two at-bats with runners in scoring position so far.
MIAMI — Jim Riggleman intended to swap Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa in his lineup for tonight's game, moving Espinosa into the leadoff spot and sliding the slumping Desmond down to the 7-hole.
On second thought, though, the Nationals managed decided to keep things as they were for the this game against the Marlins. Desmond, despite his 0-for-13 start to the year, remained at the top of the lineup.
"As I thought about it coming in today, I thought: 'You know, I'm just going to stick with it the way it is and let it ride out,'" Riggleman said. "I talked to a couple coaches about it. They all felt the same way. They'd all rather see Desi there."
Riggleman left open the possibility of a change at some point, but really the manager doesn't have many viable alternatives to lead off. Jerry Hairston got the nod last night and went 0-for-4, though he did draw a walk in the eighth inning (the first time in 18 plate appearances this season a Nationals leadoff man reached base). And Espinosa, though he has some experience leading off in the minor leagues, hasn't shown team officials he's up to the challenge.

"And Espinosa, though he has some experience leading off in the minor leagues, hasn't shown team officials he's up to the challenge."Team officials must have a pretty terrible opinion of Espinosa. After all, they think a guy with a .308 OBP is better suited to bat leadoff, the single most important lineup position for getting on base.Did you know that of all players who played about a full season last year (525+ plate appearances), only 14 had worse on base percentages than Ian Desmond? Yet Nationals management insists upon batting him first, because they'd rather see him there…
- Will - Apr 6, 2011 at 11:03 PM
Also, which "couple of coaches" was Riggleman consulting? Steve McCatty and Jim Lett?I fail to see what the third base coach or anyone else besides Eckstein could add to the conversation about Desmond's batting struggles.
- Anonymous - Apr 6, 2011 at 11:52 PM
Well, another bum move my the manager. He decided on Espy, but then went back to Desi for lead off. Really stupid. Oh, wait a minute. A double and a bunt hit RBI so far. Maybe all he needed was a day off to clear his mind. Seriously, Riggleman knows exactly what he is doing to build this team

Damn. Another double. What was the mgr thinking?

Ah, pitching imploding, once again, and another error by Desi. SSDD, all over again.

Intel Abandons Discrete Graphics 165
from the out-of-the-lifeboat dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I hope they at least manage to incorporate some of what they've learnt into their integrated chips.
Intel's integrated chips have been appallingly bad in the past, some incapable of decoding HD video with reasonable performance. Manufacturers using those intel integrated chips in their consumer level computers did a great deal of harm to the computer games industry.
A company that hasn't produced a discrete graphics card in over a decade (I'm pretty sure I remember seeing an Intel graphics card once. Back in the 90s.) is going to continue to not produce discrete graphics cards. Wow. Stop the presses. Has Ric Romero been alerted?
CPUs have been "fast enough" for years, but GPUs have not.
Really? I think you might want to take a look at what most people use their GPUs for. Unless you are a gamer, or want to watch 1080p H.264 on a slightly older CPU, a 4-5 generation old GPU is more than adequate. My current laptop is 3.5 years old, and I can't remember ever doing anything on it that the GPU couldn't handle. As long as you've got decent compositing speed and pixel shaders for a few GUI effects, pretty much any GPU from the last few years is fast enough for a typical user.
A large, publicly announced project with a great deal of media hype that had the potential to shake up the industry was cancelled. So, yeah, stop the presses.
Does this mean that they'll be focusing on continuous graphics instead?
More directly, what the hell is "discrete graphics"? I've been working with computers since the TRS-80 days and this is the first time I've seen the term. The writeup makes it sound like "discrete graphics" is some revolutionary kind of new display method that will make our old idea of viewing "pixels" on a "screen" obsolete, but the Google tells me that "discrete graphics" just means a video card as opposed to an onboard chip. Call it a video card! (Or more precisely, the chip that would run on a video card as opposed to being integrated into the motherboard.)
Everyone gets up on Intel integrated GPUs because they are slow, but they are looking at it from a gamer perspective. Yes, they suck ass for games, however that is NOT what they are for. Their intended purpose is to be cheap solutions for basic video, including things like Aero. This they do quite well. A modern Intel GMA does a fine job of this. They are also extremely low power, especially new newest ones that you find right on the Core i5 line in laptops.
Now what AMD may do well in is a budget gaming market. Perhaps they will roll out solutions that cost less than a discreet graphics card, but perform better than a GMA for games. That may be a market they could do well in. However they aren't going to "kill" Intel by any stretch of the imagination. For low power, non-gaming stuff using minimal power is the key and the GMA chips are great at that. For the majority of gaming, a discreet solution isn't a problem ($100 gets you a very nice gaming card these days) and can be upgraded.
That isn't saying much considering that the 5430 is an extremely low end GPU.
Now what AMD may do well in is a budget gaming market. Perhaps they will roll out solutions that cost less than a discreet graphics card, but perform better than a GMA for games. That may be a market they could do well in. However they aren't going to "kill" Intel by any stretch of the imagination.
I think you're selling AMD short. Intel has always relied on its fabs to keep things competitive even when their designs weren't. Now that die shrinks are beginning to reach a point of diminishing returns, Intel cannot rely on their fabs as heavily. Also, Fusion certainly has the potential to break Intel's lock on the low power IGP market.
Ever since they ran Ruiz out, AMD has been executing brilliantly. If AMD is able to come close to equaling Intel's CPU tech and considering that ATI's GPU tech spanks Intel, how much better do you all think Bulldozer will ultimately be than Larabee? I'm guessing metric tons considering applications (i.e. Photoshop) are now utilizing GPU acceleration for stream processing (not just HD accel. and Aero).
If AMD can keep this pace up, Intel is in for some deep hurting... You can double the hurting if (and it is a big if) ARM starts moving up the hardware stack (e.g. iPad) in the next couple of years.
From what I remember all the cards I was using at the time Intel was trying to sell the i740 (Permedia-2, TNT, etc) were on the AGP bus.
Check the dates. The i740 was one of the very first cards to use AGP. Not sure about the Permedia-2, but the TNT was introduced six months after the i740 and cost significantly more (about four times as much, as I recall). It performed a lot better, but that wasn't really surprising.
Everyone gets up on Intel integrated GPUs because they are slow, but they are looking at it from a gamer perspective. Yes, they suck ass for games, however that is NOT what they are for. Their intended purpose is to be cheap solutions for basic video, including things like Aero. This they do quite well. A modern Intel GMA does a fine job of this. They are also extremely low power, especially new newest ones that you find right on the Core i5 line in laptops.
Funny, at this point, I thought the purpose of Intel graphics was to try and make sure that OpenCL never becomes a viable solution. Seriously, Intel does everything in their power to make their terrible graphics chips universal. They've done some pretty shady dealing over the years to try and make it happen. At this point, they have even put their GPU's right on the CPU's of their current generation laptop chips. Apple and nVidia had to come up with dual-GPU solutions that can't be as power efficient as an Intel-only solution because they have to leave the Intel GPU also running and burning power. Intel is trying to sue nVidia out of the integrated chipset market. Examples go on and on.
Why? It isn't like Intel makes all that much money on their GPU's. It's nothing to sneeze at. Intel makes more money in a year on GPU's than I'll probably make in a lifetime, but that's peanuts on the scale of Intel. It's also not enough cash to justify the effort. But, if you look at it as a strategic move to make sure that the average consumer will never have a system that can run GPGPU code out of the box, it starts to make a little more sense. Intel is trying to compete on sheer terribleness of their GPU's, because if the average consumer has an nVidia integrated GPU in their chipset, then developers will bother to learn how to take advantage of GPU computing, which will marginalize Intel's importance.
I know it sounds kind of like a crazy conspiracy theory, but after the last several years of Intel-watching, it really does seem like quietly strangling GPGPU is a serious strategic goal for Intel.
"Graphics cards with performance comparable to the best integrated graphics aren't exactly expensive"
You can't find expansion graphic cards with performance comparable to the current integrated graphics - the integrated graphics are slower than anything else (less available memory bandwidth, fewer compute clusters,
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

Kachina Doll (Kjaklo)
These Native American objects represent just a few of the items made in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, primarily for sale to dealers and collectors to satisfy the growing market for indigenous products. Finely coiled baskets like the example by the Maidu weaver Mary Kea'a'ala Azbill were in great demand, as were Zuni Kachina dolls. The desire for Eskimo objects such as the ivory pipe engraved with a whale-hunting scene was accelerated by the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897. To appeal to non-Native patrons, Native artists invented new designs using trade materials such as the glass beads forming the embroidered floral arrangement on the northeastern puzzle bag (so named for the way its pieces fold together to keep it closed). Other artists used traditional materials but tailored designs to non-Native aesthetics, as seen in the porcupine-quill box. The Navajo quickly adapted to the Spanish introduction of silver coins and silver mining in the seventeenth century, embellishing their traditional wrist guards with hammered silver. Some artists retained both traditional materials and designs but produced greater quantities of popular items such as the Plains owl pipe bowl made from Catlinite (red pipestone).

- Catalogue Description: Stewart Culin provided the name Kjaklo for this particular kachina doll, which may not be accurate. Now identified as Kiaklo. Feathers are tied to the top of his head. His white face has painted dashes extending out from the bottom of each small eye in three different directions. On one side of his head is a small horn-shaped ear. The kachina is wearing a two-piece textile dress and sash, upon which are painted geometric designs. Around neck are a feather ruff and a disproportionately large shell amulet. Wrists are tied with colored yarn. In proper right hand is a small wooden bird- probably a duck. On kachina's feet are high, long-fringed leather boots, tied at the top with yarn. See the long story about Kiaklo in "Kachinas of the Zuni"pgs. 51-53.by Barton Wright. Involves Kiaklo searching for the middle, being counseled by Duck, and offering to guide him (he had become blind) if he put his shell around Duck. He appears every four years at the initiations of young boys ensuring they are initiated into the Kachina cult and preparing the way for the Salimopea and Kolowisi. The kachina doll is in stable and good condition; however, garment decorations reveal some paint losses. Leather is stiff and appears brittle.

I believe in the power of story, and in the human instinct to communicate experience. My favorite tools? Words, rhythm, movement, and light.
My story is an unlikely one. I make award winning films and video installations on the Olympic Peninsula, a beautiful, rural corner of the continent.
I came to filmmaking from twin loves of writing and photography, after a career that took me to cities throughout East Asia. The intersection of place and human experience is a theme that runs through my work and my life.
I grew up on the coast of Maine, without a television. To this day, when people ask me directions on the coast, I visualize the route by water: the rocks and reefs hidden by high tide, rather than highways. Many of my films explore the idea of inner cartography, the ridges and valleys carved inside us by experience, and by the places we've called home.
I am passionate about the relationship between human beings and the planet. I am curious about the many roles women play. I am drawn to the narrative of journeys. I am an artist, a writer, an adventurous hiker, a keen observer, and a passionate filmmaker. What's your story?

Cumbrian mum's tough challenges in memory of daughter
Last updated at 12:13, Friday, 01 February 2013
A courageous mum reeling from the death of her daughter three month ago will take on a series of gruelling challenges in her memory.
Kelly Holliday lost four-year-old Isla on November 1 to a rare genetic disease.
But she will put her grief aside to run the London Marathon and battle through Total Warrior, a formidable assault course billed as the "ultimate test".
The challenges are just a small part of a massive fundraising drive she has launched to support the charities and organisations which helped Isla during her short life.
Kelly, 33, of Seaton, said: "I dedicated everything to ensure she had the same things every other kid her age had.
"I feel lost inside but I want to do as much as I can in memory of her. I feel like she's with me all the time. She was my life."
The money raised will be split equally between the Rainbow Trust which helps children with terminal or life-threatening illnesses, and the West Cumberland Hospital's Fairfield Ward where Isla received treatment.
Kelly said: "During my daughter's life we had fantastic support and I wanted to give something back."
At the time Isla was the oldest little girl in the world surviving with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome, a severe and debilitating condition.
Kelly, of Calva Road, spent every waking hour caring for her Isla, who had no mobility, couldn't talk and suffered from seizures.
She said: "I'm not a sporty person so it's a big challenge. I'm nervous but I don't want to let anyone down. I always said I would do anything for her and I wouldn't let any obstacles stand in my way.
"I'm quite a determined person."
She will have support from Team Isla, a group of friends and family who will also be fundraising and taking one some of the challenges alongside her.
Kelly's mum Diane Stagg, 52, of Ashfield, said everyone was 100 per cent behind her.
The year of fundraising will culminate in a charity ball on the first anniversary of Isla's death in the Washington Central Hotel in Workington.
Other events might include a Coast to Coast cycle ride, a golf day and possibly a sky dive.
Kelly has already raised £2,605 in sponsorship pledges for the London Marathon while local businesses have donated a total of £900 so far.
Meanwhile, a coffee morning at Christ Central, in Workington's Central Square, raised £500.
Friend Lucy Ross, 32, of Newlands Lane, who baked the cakes for the event, said: "I have known Isla since she was born and it means everything to be able to help, especially because I have children of my own.
Kelly thanked her friends and all the businesses for their "overwhelming donations".
"I can't name them all because there are too many," she added.
Her husband works away Phil Holliday, 40, works in Africa, and they have a three-year-old son called Isaac.
To find out more email email@example.com.
Team Isla's year of events:
March 15 Irish theme night at The Bush Inn at Tallentire, near Cockermouth, followed by a 24-hour spinathon in Workington Leisure Centre.
March 24 Kelly will walk from Workington to Keswick with 150 members of Team Isla.
March 28 The team will be packing bags at Marks & Spencer in Workington.
March 29 The Good Friday leg of Uppies and Downies will be dedicated to Isla's memory.
April 21 Kelly and Team Isla run in the London Marathon with 35 friends and supporters.
August 4 Kelly will take part in the Total Warrior obstacle challenge in Shap.
August 22 Children's charity ball will be held in Workington's Royal British Legion from 4pm.
September 15 Kelly will run in the Great North Run.
November 1 A charity ball will be held at Washington Central.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?
Submitted by informatimago 2420 days 2 hours 36 min ago
re: universities
This is a good idea. Done.

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Repository access
Many sites have a link to view the repository such as:
Source code repository http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=cl-semantic
however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.

April Full Moon Ceremony
- Religion & Spirituality
- Enchantments, Brooklyn NY
August Full Moon Ceremony
Adria Crum & Joe Torcicollo
Sunday, August 10, 2014 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM (EDT)
Full Sturgeon Moon – August The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.
Celebrate the full sturgeon moon with shamans Adria Crum and Joe Torcicollo. Guided meditation, manifestation and growth meditations. Fee includes materials and ticket.
Sunday, August 10, 2014, 2:00 - 4:00pm Energy Exchange: $35 RSVP for a seat
Adria Crum is a Shamanic Practitioner who does energy work in the Greater New York area.
Joe Torcicollo is a Shamanic Practicioner who does NLP and is a Hypnotist in the Greater New York Area.
I partner with Enchantments Brooklyn to provide services to the community in Park Slope and Brooklyn.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.
