Renewable energy accounts for nearly 50 percent of added capacity in US in 2012.
So you've heard the good word about alternative energy and green building, and you're ready to make the switch — right? Whether you're ready to build or remodel your home to make it green, or just want to learn about renewable energy systems, there may be no better resource than the Solar Living Institute (SLI) in Hopland, Calif.
Since 1998, the Institute has welcomed thousands of people to workshops, festivals, lectures and celebrations with the mission "to promote sustainable living through inspirational environmental education." The Institute has gone a long way toward helping our culture unhook from the IV of fossil fuels and soak up the joy of solar living instead. The eager learners are playing an important role in a renewable future, and whether or not you live in California, the Institute can help you join that movement.
Here's just a taste of the wide variety of topics covered in the Institute's year-round (and affordable — most are $100 to $200) workshops:
View the full list of 2008 workshops here.
The Institute is perhaps best-known for SolFest, its tremendous annual summer gathering in celebration of renewable energy and sustainability. There's a lot to be learned here, too, but the two-day festival also fulfills the official mission "to always remember to have fun in whatever we are doing."
And it's hard not to have a good time at this gorgeous 12-acre spread in northern California. In addition to inspiring speakers (Hunter Lovins, Ed Begley, Jr., Jim Hightower and Amy Goodman have headlined in past years) and a jam-packed schedule of workshops, you can enjoy excellent food (organic garlic cheese fries, fresh squeezed ginger lemonade, vegan pie), live music (David Grisman, Dar Williams, Leftover Salmon and Hot Buttered Rum have performed in past years), and even 100 percent organic beer from just up the road (Ukiah Brewing Co.).
This year's Solfest will be held on August 16th and 17th; click here for more info. Tickets are $30 for Saturday, $25 for Sunday, or $45 for both action-packed festival days. (And don't forget to visit us at the Mother Earth News booth!)

Lady Margaret Hall (commonly referred to as LMH) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England, located at the end of Norham Gardens in north Oxford. As of 2006 the college had an estimated financial endowment of £34m.[2]
Lady Margaret Hall was founded in 1878 as the first women's college in Oxford and did not accept men until 1979. Lady Margaret Hall accepts both undergraduate and graduate students. It is currently ranked 26th in Oxford's Norrington Table.[3]
Lady Margaret Hall, the first women's college in Oxford, was founded in 1878 and opened its doors to its first nine students the following year. It was founded by Edward Stuart Talbot, then Warden of Keble College, and his wife Lavinia.[4] The college was named after Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, renowned patron of scholarship and learning. Its first principal was Elizabeth Wordsworth, the great-niece of the poet William Wordsworth and daughter of Christopher Wordsworth, Bishop of Lincoln.
In 1979, one hundred years after its foundation, LMH began admitting men as well as women; it was the first of the women's colleges to do so, along with St. Anne's.
The college's coat of arms features devices that recall those associated with its foundation. The portcullis is from the arms of Lady Margaret Beaufort, the bell is a symbol of the Wordsworth family, and the Talbot dogs represent Edward Talbot.
Its colours are blue and yellow (sometimes also with white), and its motto is "Souvent me Souviens", an Old French phrase meaning "I remember often".
Buildings and architecture[edit]
Lady Margaret Hall is one of the few Oxford colleges on the River Cherwell and is known for its lovely gardens set in spacious grounds (about 12 acres (49,000 m2)). The college's original house, now known as Old Old Hall, is still in use. Just behind the main buildings, are a set of playing fields and tennis courts, a punt house, as well as a manicured Fellows' Garden, hidden from view by tall hedgerows. Giles Gilbert Scott, famous for designing Liverpool Cathedral and the K2 red telephone box designed the college's Byzantine-style chapel. Its grounds, along with those of Trinity College, Oxford, were the basis for Fleet College in the American author Charles Finch's novel set in Oxford University, The Last Enchantments. [5]
The architect of the main college buildings was Sir Reginald Blomfield who used the French Renaissance style of the 17th century and chose red brick with white stone facings. The central block, the Talbot Building (1910) contains the Hall and Library, while the accommodation for students and tutors is divided between three wings, the Wordsworth Building (1896), the Toynbee Building (1915) and the Lodge Building (1926). The Hall contains some fine oak panelling donated by former students to honour Elizabeth Wordsworth. The portraits in the Hall include the work of notable artists; among the portraits of principals is Sir J. J. Shannon's portrait of Dame Elizabeth, Philip de Laszlo's of Miss Jex-Blake, Sir Rodrigo Moynihan's of Dr Grier and Maud Sumner's of Miss Sutherland. In the Library is a fine marble statue by Edith Bateson. The chapel in the form of a Greek cross was dedicated by the college's founder Edward Stuart Talbot, in January 1933.[6]
In the summer of 2006 a new law library was constructed beneath the extant library; it was opened that year by Cherie Blair.[7]
Its newest building, Pipe Partridge Building was completed in early 2010. This building includes a 120-seat lecture theatre, a dining hall, seminar rooms, JCR common rooms, and 60 new undergraduate study bedrooms. It was opened by the Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Lord Patten of Barnes, in April 2010.[8]
The bell in the clock above the lodge rings hourly between 08:00 and 22:00.
Middle Common Room[edit]
The college's Middle Common Room (MCR) admits approximately 100 members each year and consists of around 160 members. Currently, each MCR member has the use of his/her own common room, consisting of a kitchen, TV room and lounge and his/her own computer room. Next year building will commence for a new graduate centre which will see increased facilities for the MCR, including a new common room as well as increased graduate accommodation. This building will be part of a large change to the front of the college.

I've seen alot of write ups on it and the stock yota booster should be fine. Did you make sure the push rod is going into the booster/MC deep enough? Its gonna have to push a little more fluid than it did with the stock toyota MC, but you should still be able to do it. Might even read some write ups on it just to see if you missed anything important.

Sever Error in '/' Application / Runtime Error message.
by dbarnesjr - 6/23/08 3:47 PM
This morning when I tried to log onto Facebook, it took me to this screen that said "Server Error in '/' Application' and 'Runtime Error.' Underneath all that it read:
Descrption: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
What exactly does all of this mean? I've been in Spain for the past month, and while I was there I used my laptop (I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows XP) to access the internet, including Facebook, and everything was fine. I got back home last night, and this morning when I woke up and tried to log into my account, that page popped up. It doesn't matter what screenname I try to use either.
How can I fix it?

| Accepted Version 1MB View at publisher |
Generation of bile is a key function of the liver. Its impairment leads to accumulation of cytotoxic bile salts in hepatocytes and, consequently, to liver disease. The bile salt export pump, BSEP, is critically involved in the secretion of bile salts into bile. Its function can be disturbed or abolished by inherited mutations. This will lead to progressive intrahepatic cholestais and severe liver disease. In addition to mutations, BSEP can be inhibited by acquired factors, such as xenobiotics or drugs, aberrant bile salt metabolites, or pregnancy. This inhibition will lead to acquired cholestasis. Some drugs are now known to be competitive inhibitors of Bsep. In addition, a polymorphism in the gene coding for BSEP has been identified as a potential susceptibility factor for acquired cholestasis.

Food intake in lean and obese mice after peripheral administration of glucagon-like peptide 2. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22457516 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
We investigated the potential anorectic action of peripherally administered glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP2) in lean and diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Mice, fasted for 16 h, were injected i.p. with native GLP2 or [Gly2]GLP2, stable analog of GLP2, before or after GLP2 (3-33), a GLP2 receptor (GLP2R) antagonist, or exendin (9-39), a GLP1R antagonist. Food intake was measured at intervals 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h postinjection. In addition, we tested in lean mice the influence of [Gly2]GLP2 on gastric emptying and the effects of GLP1 alone or in combination with [Gly2]GLP2 on food intake. [Gly2]GLP2 dose dependently and significantly inhibited food intake in lean and DIO mice. The reduction of food intake occurred in the first hour postinjection and it was sustained until 4 h postinjection in lean mice while it was sustained until 2 h postinjection in DIO mice. GLP2 significantly inhibited food intake in both lean and DIO mice but only in the first hour postinjection. The efficiency of [Gly2]GLP2 or GLP2 in suppressing food intake was significantly weaker in DIO mice compared with lean animals. The [Gly2]GLP2 anorectic actions were blocked by the GLP2R antagonist GLP2 (3-33) or by the GLP1R antagonist exendin (9-39). The coadministration of [Gly2]GLP2 and GLP1 did not cause additive effects. [Gly2]GLP2 decreased the gastric emptying rate. Results suggest that GLP2 can reduce food intake in mice in the short term, likely acting at a peripheral level. DIO mice are less sensitive to the anorectic effect of the peptide. |

Tangent least-squares fitting filtering method for electrical speckle pattern interferometry phase fringe patterns
Applied Optics, Vol. 46, Issue 15, pp. 2907-2913 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1969 KB)
An efficient method is proposed to reduce the noise from electrical speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) phase fringe patterns obtained by any technique. We establish the filtering windows along the tangent direction of phase fringe patterns. The x and y coordinates of each point in the established filtering windows are defined as the sine and cosine of the half-wrapped phase multiplied by a random quantity, then phase value is calculated using these points' coordinates based on a least-squares fitting algorithm. We tested the proposed methods on the computer-simulated speckle phase fringe patterns and the experimentally obtained phase fringe pattern, respectively, and compared them with the improved sine∕cosine average filtering method [Opt. Commun. 162, 205 (1999)] and the least-squares phase-fitting method [Opt. Lett. 20, 931 (1995)], which may be the most efficient methods. In all cases, our results are even better than the ones obtained with the two methods. Our method can overcome the main disadvantages encountered by the two methods.

Three Chamber Tester
The Three-Chamber-Tester with an interchangeable colour comparison chart is a competitively priced unit for the determination of disinfectants and the pH value.
Water Treatment
pH value
The pH value of pool & spa water should generally be between the slightly acidic value of 6.5 and the slightly basic value of 7.6. Due to the use of various water treatment chemicals as well as ambient environmental effects, pool owners have to determine the pH of the water and correct the value as necessary.
Nowadays, pool owners can choose from a range of modern water treatment agents that are often used in combination.
These water treatment chemicals are only effective within a limited pH range. Therefore in addition to checking the concentration of the water treatment chemicals, the owner/operator should also monitor the pH value of pool water and adjust it if necessary.

I've been staying at the Lost Mine Campground for over 7 years. It is a very nice, quiet campground run by owners who live next to the property. They are intimately involved in the maintenance, care and control of the campground. This bothers some - there is no stereos allowed, and quiet hours are strictly enforced. So, it's not for the partying youth of today. However, it IS kid friendly. There is a very nice creek that runs through the campsite, and children of all ages love to spend hours playing in it. The sound of the creek fills your tent at night - some reviewers have mentioned a "busy" road - bahhh! This is a mountain road just up from the Nantahala Outdoor Center outpost on the Nanty and only local traffic comes up it. Yes, some of the campsites are located just off this road - if the occasional vehicle passing by bothers you, request a different site. Power available for fans and basic lighting only. No cable, TV, Wi-Fi, etc. A perfect place to hide from the rest of the world. Always cool in the evenings, perfect sleeping weather. Have stayed in a tent and in a hybrid travel trailer. Does get very wet when it rains - again, choose your site carefully. Get to know the owners and you will enjoy every visit. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Tent.
Date of Stay: June, 2007 - $15.00
This campground is very convenient if you are going to the Nantahala Outdoor Center, but I will try someplace difference next time. The sites are spread out on a very busy road. When walking to the bath house I thought more than once I was going to be hit by a car speeding down the road. We camped in a tent with no access to electricity that was near a stream which would have been nice if it wasn't so close to the road and road noise. We arrived in the evening and the woman who checked us in wasn't very friendly. The bathrooms and showers were clean. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Tent.
Date of Stay: June, 2007 - $32.00
The campground is a great base to sight see the area. We camped on the creek. This is a family friendly place. There were many children out playing..my kids had a great time. There is a pen behind the office with adult and baby goats. You can rent tubes for $4.00 and tube on the creek. It would be nice if there was some foliage or trees between the sites for more privacy or to make it feel more wooded. Also the bathrooms need some repair or upgrading. The windows without much effort could be easily looked into with a view into the shower area.I say this because I was at a campground once where some peeping tom kids did get up to the same type windows at night to look into the women's bathrooms. Also the doors on the showers and toilet stalls do not give complete privacy, my daughter pointed this out to me. Overall, the campground was OK and we would go back if in the area. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: October, 2006 - $16.00
We spent 5 nights. The weekend was sold out. This is a great campground for tent campers or those with small trailers. The electric service does not support heaters or air conditioners. This is an old campground with a lot of character and a great stream that runs through it. They also have several group sites. The big attraction is they are only 1 mile from the Nantahala River and the Nantahala Outdoor Center. They attract a lot of paddlers, mountain bikers and hikers. The Appalachian Trail runs less than a mile from this camp. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: May, 2006 - $16.00
We spent 9 nights. A group of us have used this campground for 20 years. It is only one mile from the Nantahala River and the Nantahala Outdoor Center. At least 1/2 the sites are filled with tent campers. The electric outlets do not support a/c's or heaters. For the Memorial Day Week, the temperatures ranged from the upper 40's to a high of 81 degrees. Always below 70 degrees by 9 pm. The rushing stream is a great place for kids to play and makes for great sleeping at night. Some of the sites are set up for small groups. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: October, 2004 - $15.00
This is a hard campground to rate. We have camped there for over 20 years. We love it. Others hate it. The campground is old and has electric outlets nailed to trees. Electricity is only for fans, lights or electric blankets, as this was originally set up as a tent campground. Small RV?s are now allowed. The campground is one mile north of the Nantahala River and the Nantahala Outdoor Center on Silvermine Creek. We have camped from May to October and rarely is air conditioning needed. This area is in a deep gorge and doesn?t get much sunlight. 95% of the nights are below 70 degrees by 10 P.M. The owners enforce the quite hours and that along with the noise of the creek make this a very relaxed campground. We have spent as many as 16 nights at a time here. Much of our time is with a group that occupies up to 15 sites. A number of groups use this campground since it is one of the few near the river that allows pets. Holidays and weekends usually sell out. The bathhouse is over 30 years old but is kept clean. The owners clean up each site and fire ring after a camper leaves. We camped at Lost Mine Campground in a Travel Trailer.

What the Hell Has Happened to Mastodon?
If you're a metalhead and you're on the Internet, you may have heard that there's a new Mastodon album out now called Once More 'Round the Sun. It's funny they call it that, because in my opinion it's really just once more around the block for a once-great metal band that has lost its way.Photo by Marco Torres Mastodon in 2011
That's a pretty unpopular opinion these days, as Mastodon seems to be getting more popular than ever. I suppose they bridge the gap between extreme metal and more easily digested rock music pretty well for some people. I, however, find their directions over the last eight years intensely troubling, as I see Mastodon declining worse and worse as time goes on.
A lot of this is, of course, subjective. It seems perfunctory to constantly have to preface opinions by saying that, because opinions are inherently subjective, but this is the Internet and everything is taken as an ad hominem attack.
This is not an attack on Mastodon. Mastodon is a band with many supremely talented musicians who have churned out some great records over the years. Remember how great and refreshing Leviathan was in 2004, with its unrelenting heaviness and technical prowess? In a scene then dominated by either Metallica ripoffs or boring metalcore, Mastodon stood alone in trying metal outside the box.
Blood Mountain was equally as great in 2006, even if it let up on some of the heaviness and injected more progressive overtones into the mix. That was my personal album of the year in 2006, and it still remains a great record today.
Then, three years later, Mastodon released their "magnum opus," Crack the Skye. For many, this was the culmination of all the work that went into Leviathan and Blood Mountain. For the first time, they went head-on into progressive metal.
Crack the Skye, however, failed to click with me. It seemed that Mastodon lost their edge with it, instead trudging into the realm of overtly progressive music that can so easily become trite and pretentious. It was an accomplished work, I'll give it that, but it didn't resonate as a fan of heavy music.

Ken for Model Number gd2nhgxkq01
Answer Hello Ken. It sounds like you may have two problems here. You will need to check and see if the drain is clogged up in the freezer. If so, you will need to thaw it out and clean it out with hot water and a turkey bastor. As for the low ice production, if you have changed the filter and it is good, then you will need to change the water valve W10408179. Hope this helps.

Robert for Model Number ED2FTGXKQ04
Answer Hello Robert. You can check and see if the water continues to drip in from the valve through the fill tube. If so, you will need to replace the valve. Hope this helps.
Annie for Model Number ?
Answer Hello Annie. You will need to check and make sure the fill tube is not frozen up. If it is, you will need to clear it out and replace the water valve. If it is clear, you will need to remove the line from the valve and cycle the icemaker and see if water comes out of the valve. If it does not, then you will need to replace the valve, if there is power going to it. Hope this helps.
1 person found this answer helpful.
Answer Hello George! Unfortunately, the LED is assembled within the emmiter board. You would have to purchase the kit. Your part number is W10757851. Sorry!
Robert for Model Number 106-52582002
Answer Hello Robert! Parts on the valve W10408179 are not available separate. You will have to purchase the entire valve. Thanks.
Robert for Model Number 106-52582202
Answer Hello Robert! If you have already replaced the valve and you are still not getting water to the ice maker make sure that the ice maker fill tube line has not frozen or developed any leaks. If it has not, you will more than likely have to replace the ice maker as it is not sending signal to the valve to fill. The part number is 4317943. Thanks!

COLUMBIA — City officials know there are 22,715 rental units registered in Columbia, but they also know there are landlords who have failed to register their properties.
"We are certain there are more rentals in this city, " said Leigh Britt, manager of the Office of Neighborhood Services. "We work to try to identify them."
The Office of Neighborhood Services tries to register all rental property. Registration helps ensure it complies with the city's Rental Conservation Law, Britt said.
At Tuesday's Columbia City Council meeting, officials will hear a proposal to establish a period for landlords to register their rental property without fear of prosecution. Landlords who are unregistered ordinarily would be prosecuted for failing to comply with city ordinances.
"If they don't feel comfortable, this is a time for them to come," Britt said.
Called the Rental Registry Amnesty Program, the plan would allow any property owner to register his or her property with amnesty from Oct. 1 to Nov. 15.
"After that period, Nov. 15, we intend to return to investigating and prosecuting unlawful rentals," Britt said.
The Office of Neighborhood Services has several methods for finding unregistered landlords. Britt said they receive and investigate tenant complaints, research lawn signs and compare utility bills to ownership.
"We don't have a consistent way, but we come across them every day. We have some active cases, which we aren't going to drop," Britt said, explaining that amnesty is only for those who volunteer to register.
At his news conference on Friday, City Manager Bill Watkins speculated that some rental property owners might be willing to risk being unregistered so they can avoid the cost of bringing their property up to code.
"It may be cheaper to pay fines than comply," Watkins said.
After a rental unit is registered, it becomes subject to an inspection to check for safety hazards and to ensure proper zoning compliance.
"There is a fee, which is minimal," Britt said. "You agree your property will remain to code."
A new application costs $35 per building and $7 per inspection per unit. So, the cost for a single-family home is $42, a duplex $49 and a fourplex $63.
"That's good for a certificate of compliance for three years," Britt said.
After the first period, the price drops to $25 every three years, and the inspection fee is waived. Moreover, inspections are not required if there are no complaints, Britt said.
Landlords in violation of the ordinance face fines of up to $500 and up to three years in jail, according to the report Britt wrote for the council.
"We have an awful lot of property owners in compliance," Britt said. "We don't think it's fair that other property owners aren't making the effort."
Britt believes some property owners are unaware a registry exists, but she hopes the program will change that. According to the report, the Office of Neighborhood Services plans to promote the Rental Conservation Law through news releases; articles in City Source, the city's newsletter; and communication with Realtors and lenders who might have contact with landlords.
"Tenants can play a role a in this," she said, encouraging renters to ask their landlords if they are registered. "This program is about ensuring safe housing for those who rent."

Understanding Fifth Disease -- Diagnosis & Treatment
In this article
How Is Fifth Disease Diagnosed?
In most cases, fifth disease is diagnosed based on the appearance of typical symptoms.
A blood test can confirm whether you have fifth disease, but this usually is not necessary.
If a pregnant woman has been exposed to fifth disease, she may be given a blood test to determine whether she had fifth disease in the past and is, therefore, immune.
If she contracts fifth disease, either an amniocentesis or a test called percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS) can be used to test for the virus in the fetus and determine the severity of fetal anemia, if it exists.
Ultrasound can be used to look for complications in the fetus, such as abnormal pooling of fluid around the heart, lungs, or abdomen.
What Are the Treatments for Fifth Disease?
Generally, no treatment for fifth disease is necessary for otherwise healthy children and adults who get it. If the rash itches, an antihistamine can be used. For those with joint pain, especially in adults, anti-inflammatory pain relievers such as ibuprofen can be helpful.
Anyone who has sickle cell anemia, chronic anemia, or an impaired immune system can receive immunoglobulin by injection to fight off the virus. Some of these patients may also need transfusions of red blood cells.

text: The Tenant of Wildfell HallAnne BronteChapter 42 September 1st. - No Mr. Huntingdon yet. Perhaps he will stay among his friends till Christmas; and then, next spring, he will be off again. If he continue this plan, I shall be able to stay at Grassdale well enough - that is, I shall be able to stay, and that is enough; even an occasional bevy of friends at the shooting season may be borne, if Arthur get so firmly attached to me, so well established in good sense and principles before they come that I shall be able, by reason and affection, to keep him pure from their contaminations. Vain hope, I fear! but still, till such a time of trial comes I will forbear to think of my quiet asylum in the beloved old hall. Mr. and Mrs. Hattersley have been staying at the Grove a fortnight: and as Mr. Hargrave is still absent, and the weather was remarkably fine, I never passed a day without seeing my two friends, Milicent and Esther, either there or here. On one occasion, when Mr. Hattersley had driven them over to Grassdale in the phaeton, with little Helen and Ralph, and we were all enjoying ourselves in the garden - I had a few minutes' conversation with that gentleman, while the ladies were amusing themselves with the children. 'Do you want to hear anything of your husband, Mrs. Huntingdon?' said he. 'No, unless you can tell me when to expect him home.' 'I can't. - You don't want him, do you?' said he, with a broad grin. 'No.' 'Well, I think you're better without him, sure enough - for my part, I'm downright weary of him. I told him I'd leave him if he didn't mend his manners, and he wouldn't; so I left him. You see, I'm a better man than you think me; and, what's more, I have serious thoughts of washing my hands of him entirely, and the whole set of 'em, and comporting myself from this day forward with all decency and sobriety, as a Christian and the father of a family should do. What do you think of that?' 'It is a resolution you ought to have formed long ago.' 'Well, I'm not thirty yet; it isn't too late, is it?' 'No; it is never too late to reform, as long as you have the sense to desire it, and the strength to execute your purpose.' 'Well, to tell you the truth, I've thought of it often and often before; but he's such devilish good company, is Huntingdon, after all. You can't imagine what a jovial good fellow he is when he's not fairly drunk, only just primed or half-seas-over. We all have a bit of a liking for him at the bottom of our hearts, though we can't respect him.' 'But should you wish yourself to be like him?' 'No, I'd rather be like myself, bad as I am.' 'You can't continue as bad as you are without getting worse and more brutalised every day, and therefore more like him.' I could not help smiling at the comical, half-angry, half- confounded look he put on at this rather unusual mode of address. 'Never mind my plain speaking,' said I; 'it is from the best of motives. But tell me, should you wish your sons to be like Mr. Huntingdon - or even like yourself?' 'Hang it! no.' 'Should you wish your daughter to despise you - or, at least, to feel no vestige of respect for you, and no affection but what is mingled with the bitterest regret?' 'Oh, no! I couldn't stand that.' 'And, finally, should you wish your wife to be ready to sink into the earth when she hears you mentioned; and to loathe the very sound of your voice, and shudder at your approach?' 'She never will; she likes me all the same, whatever I do.' 'Impossible, Mr. Hattersley! you mistake her quiet submission for affection.' 'Fire and fury - ' 'Now don't burst into a tempest at that. I don't mean to say she does not love you - she does, I know, a great deal better than you deserve; but I am quite sure, that if you behave better, she will love you more, and if you behave worse, she will love you less and less, till all is lost in fear, aversion, and bitterness of soul, if not in secret hatred and contempt. But, dropping the subject of affection, should you wish to be the tyrant of her life - to take away all the sunshine from her existence, and make her thoroughly miserable?' 'Of course not; and I don't, and I'm not going to.' 'You have done more towards it than you suppose.' 'Pooh, pooh! she's not the susceptible, anxious, worriting creature you imagine: she's a little meek, peaceable, affectionate body; apt to be rather sulky at times, but quiet and cool in the main, and ready to take things as they come.' 'Think of what she was five years ago, when you married her, and what she is now.' 'I know she was a little plump lassie then, with a pretty pink and white face: now she's a poor little bit of a creature, fading and melting away like a snow-wreath. But hang it! - that's not my fault.' 'What is the cause of it then? Not years, for she's only five-and- twenty.' 'It's her own delicate health, and confound it, madam! what would you make of me? - and the children, to be sure, that worry her to death between them.' 'No, Mr. Hattersley, the children give her more pleasure than pain: they are fine, well-dispositioned children - ' 'I know they are - bless them!' 'Then why lay the blame on them? - I'll tell you what it is: it's silent fretting and constant anxiety on your account, mingled, I suspect, with something of bodily fear on her own. When you behave well, she can only rejoice with trembling; she has no security, no confidence in your judgment or principles; but is continually dreading the close of such short-lived felicity; when you behave ill, her causes of terror and misery are more than any one can tell but herself. In patient endurance of evil, she forgets it is our duty to admonish our neighbours of their transgressions. Since you will mistake her silence for indifference, come with me, and I'll show you one or two of her letters - no breach of confidence, I hope, since you are her other half.' He followed me into the library. I sought out and put into his hands two of Milicent's letters: one dated from London, and written during one of his wildest seasons of reckless dissipation; the other in the country, during a lucid interval. The former was full of trouble and anguish; not accusing him, but deeply regretting his connection with his profligate companions, abusing Mr. Grimsby and others, insinuating bitter things against Mr. Huntingdon, and most ingeniously throwing the blame of her husband's misconduct on to other men's shoulders. The latter was full of hope and joy, yet with a trembling consciousness that this happiness would not last; praising his goodness to the skies, but with an evident, though but half-expressed wish, that it were based on a surer foundation than the natural impulses of the heart, and a half-prophetic dread of the fall of that house so founded on the sand, - which fall had shortly after taken place, as Hattersley must have been conscious while he read. Almost at the commencement of the first letter I had the unexpected pleasure of seeing him blush; but he immediately turned his back to me, and finished the perusal at the window. At the second, I saw him, once or twice, raise his hand, and hurriedly pass it across his face. Could it be to dash away a tear? When he had done, there was an interval spent in clearing his throat and staring out of the window, and then, after whistling a few bars of a favourite air, he turned round, gave me back the letters, and silently shook me by the hand. 'I've been a cursed rascal, God knows,' said he, as he gave it a hearty squeeze, 'but you see if I don't make amends for it - d-n me if I don't!' 'Don't curse yourself, Mr. Hattersley; if God had heard half your invocations of that kind, you would have been in hell long before now - and you cannot make amends for the past by doing your duty for the future, inasmuch as your duty is only what you owe to your Maker, and you cannot do more than fulfil it: another must make amends for your past delinquencies. If you intend to reform, invoke God's blessing, His mercy, and His aid; not His curse.' 'God help me, then - for I'm sure I need it. Where's Milicent?' 'She's there, just coming in with her sister.' He stepped out at the glass door, and went to meet them. I followed at a little distance. Somewhat to his wife's astonishment, he lifted her off from the ground, and saluted her with a hearty kiss and a strong embrace; then placing his two hands on her shoulders, he gave her, I suppose, a sketch of the great things he meant to do, for she suddenly threw her arms round him, and burst into tears, exclaiming, - 'Do, do, Ralph - we shall be so happy! How very, very good you are!' 'Nay, not I,' said he, turning her round, and pushing her towards me. 'Thank her; it's her doing.' Milicent flew to thank me, overflowing with gratitude. I disclaimed all title to it, telling her her husband was predisposed to amendment before I added my mite of exhortation and encouragement, and that I had only done what she might, and ought to have done herself. 'Oh, no!' cried she; 'I couldn't have influenced him, I'm sure, by anything that I could have said. I should only have bothered him by my clumsy efforts at persuasion, if I had made the attempt.' 'You never tried me, Milly,' said he. Shortly after they took their leave. They are now gone on a visit to Hattersley's father. After that they will repair to their country home. I hope his good resolutions will not fall through, and poor Milicent will not be again disappointed. Her last letter was full of present bliss, and pleasing anticipations for the future; but no particular temptation has yet occurred to put his virtue to the test. Henceforth, however, she will doubtless be somewhat less timid and reserved, and he more kind and thoughtful. - Surely, then, her hopes are not unfounded; and I have one bright spot, at least, whereon to rest my thoughts. |

Afrobeat and Mali are two words you will rarely hear together. The strength of Mali's desert blues – made famous by Songhai guitarist Ali Farka Touré and Kel Tamashek rockers Tinariwen – seemed to resist afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti's West African domination.
Ben Zabo, however, represents a unique marriage of the two styles. Zabo listened carefully when he was sound engineer at Bamako's Studio Bogolan, which played host to the likes of Tamikrest and Lobi Traoré. Zabo, after learning from these talents, made it his mission to shed Mali's image of being down-tempo and reflective.
Does Ben Zabo listen to much Afrobeat? "I have listened to too much Afrobeat", is his quick response. Afrobeat and Mali are not so mutually exclusive, he says, citing Super Biton de Segou and L'Orchestre Kanaga de Mopti as underrated Afrobeat groups from Bamako.
Following in line with Mali's musical strength and uniqueness, Zabo's interpretation of Afrobeat has an identity that sets it apart from the rest. And his debut album is the first ever to be released by a Malian of Bo descent.
The balafon (a West African xylophone) driven 'Sénsénbo' could be described as Afrobeat with desert blues guitars. Anyone who has ever enjoyed a live Tinariwen performance will find an immediate connection. That raw power has been transferred successfully onto record, with Zabo's unique Bo culture surfacing by way of its traditional Bwa language, dance (as can be seen in this music video), rhythms and melodies.
Vocals are shared with singers Virgine Dembélé and Patricia Koïta, two "musical warriors" who provide an essential female dimension. The whole album is a tribute to mothers all over the world, says Zabo, for the suffering they endure through childbirth. The result is colourful (the sleeve notes show Zabo in a luminous orange Mohawk-style headdress), distinctly Malian and a completely original take on Afrobeat.
Ben Zabo is due for release by Glitterhouse Records on June 11.

The late thirties and early forties can be the most stressful time of a person's life if they are caring for their parents while raising children of their own. A few of my friends have become the primary or second caregiver to their parents, accompanying them on doctor's visits, then rushing home to help with homework and make dinner.
With them in mind, I appreciated the wisdom presented in the book, "The Art of Conversation Through Serious Illness: Lessons for Caregivers," by Richard P. McQuellon and Michael Cowan. They offer nine virtues most needed in "mortal time," a term they use to capture the experience of being aware of one's own mortality. Here they are.
Genuineness. It's awkward, yes. Watching a person die is probably the most uncomfortable situation we experience. Which is why it is so important to be authentic, real, genuine. As the philosopher Hans Gadamer said, "Thus a genuine conversation is never the one we wanted to conduct.
Presence. This is a toughie when you have so many other things pulling at you: 15 urgent emails from the boss, two phone calls to return, and the rest of the items of your to-do list. But by tuning into the other, giving as much of our attention as we possibly can, we give our ill sick one the most precious gift of our presence.
Sensitivity. If you don't know how to read body language, start learning. All nonverbal clues like voice tone and pace of speech. To be a sensitive caregiver means to develop people-reading skills.
Courage. It's not easy to accompany a person in mortal time. The bleak reality of impending death screams the opposite of the message we are accustomed to seeing: "20 Ways to Live Longer That Doesn't Involve Any Kind of Pain." But do it anyway. Go to the difficult doctor's office. Be there for her test results. Tag along while she's waiting.
Acceptance. Per the authors: "Acceptance is not giving up, but may mean letting go of the effort to control a situation fraught with ambiguity and uncertainties." They then cite the "Serenity Prayer": "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
Respect. This involves give and take, sometimes responding with deference to the other's personal circumstances ... you know, basically the opposite of how we conduct conversations in our day.
Compassion. Write McQuellon and Cowan: "Patients experience the compassion of their professional and family caregivers through many gestures such as a hug or what we call 'kind eyes' ... to take that suffering into one's heart and hold it there gently."
Humor. I believe humor forces a much-needed distance between a scary event and your feelings, so that you can experience something difficult with a different perspective.
Awareness of limitations. The authors conclude this section with an essential message: "We cannot spare our loved ones or patients the sorrow and pain that is part of each and every one of our lives.... We are limited in our ability to protect those for whom we care from suffering."

Dudley Chase Haskell (March 23, 1842 – December 16, 1883) was a nineteenth-century politician and merchant from Kansas. He was the grandfather of Otis Halbert Holmes.
He is the namesake of Haskell County in southwestern Kansas.[1]
Born in Springfield, Vermont, Haskell moved to Lawrence, Kansas with his parents in 1855. He attended schools back in Springfield in 1857 and 1858, engaged in business as a shoe merchant and followed the Pike's Peak Gold Rush in 1859, residing in Pikes Peak, Colorado until 1861. During the Civil War, Haskell served as an assistant to the quartermaster of the Union Army in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and the Indian Territory in 1861 and 1862. He left the army and entered Williston's Seminary in Easthampton, Massachusetts in 1863 and graduated from Yale College in 1865. Afterward, he returned to Lawrence, Kansas, engaged in the shoe business from 1865 to 1867 and was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives in 1872, 1875 and 1876, serving as Speaker of the House in 1876. Haskell was elected a Republican to the United States House of Representatives in 1876, serving from 1877 until his death in Washington, D.C. on December 16, 1883. There, he served as chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs from 1881 to 1883. He was interred in Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence, Kansas.

The Aug. 1 article "Supes delay petition" inaccurately describes Mark Smith's remarks to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors on July 29. Smith, from Garden Valley, was depicted as accusing supervisors of threatening the county with economic collapse and loss of supervisors' discretionary power if the "Reinstate Measure Y Initiative" were to be passed by voters in November. Reviewing the video of that meeting, it is clear Smith is referring to Bill Center and Jim Moore and not the Board of Supervisors. Proponents of a competing initiative, Measure M, Center and Moore, strongly urged the board to order a 30-day study of potential economic impacts from possible passage of the "Reinstate Measure Y Initiative." Supervisors eventually took that action which, due to state election deadlines, resulted in postponing the initiative until the June 2016 election.
