2 inmates escape from Pocahontas prison
HILLSBORO, W.Va. -- Authorities are searching for two inmates who escaped from the Denmar Correctional Center in Pocahontas County.
Warden Mark Williamson said Thomas Pennington and Larry Morehead were discovered missing early Sunday during a regular check.
Williamson said prison officials believe the inmates scaled a chain-link fence at the rear of the prison. There is razor wire at the top and bottom of the fence.
Electronic message boards along Interstate 64 in Raleigh, Summers and Greenbrier counties were warning motorists to not pick up hitchhikers.
Pennington, 40, is serving a sentence for first-degree murder and arson charges in Kanawha County. Morehead, 48, is serving a sentence for sexual assault in Nicholas County.

110-year-old woman looks back on long life By
Jay Kenworthy, the Star Press
her eyesight seems poor, that's OK. She has seen more than most people. Her
body might not be quite what it was 20 years ago and certainly not what it
was 90 years ago, but that's just fine. At 110, Fry's mind is as bright as
her pearly smile. Fry
was born Dec. 1, 1893, on a farm in Vevay, a small town in southeastern
Indiana. She has lived in the Hoosier state all but four years of her
life, and on Dec. 1, she celebrated her 110th birthday at Westminster
Village in Muncie. It
runs in the family "She's
an example of all the good things about growing old," Westminster
administrator Betty DeVoe said of Fry. "Her mind is phenomenal." DeVoe
says her oldest resident is about as independent as a person in an
assisted living home can be. She lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment,
gets ready by herself every morning and walks from the far wing to the
cafeteria three times a day. "When
you get to be as old as I am, you have to have help of some kind,"
Fry said in a recent interview. DeVoe, however, disagreed. "We
don't do anything for her," DeVoe said quietly enough so Fry couldn't
hear. Fry
moved into Westminster in 1978 at the age of 84, but the village is a far
cry from her farm roots in Vevay. Fry
seemed destined for longevity, despite the fact that she was born on a
farm in the late 19th century. According to AARP, the life expectancy for
a white female born in 1900 was 51 years, but her family had a history of
long life. Although
she cannot remember his exact age, Fry says her paternal grandfather lived
well into the 1900s. Her mother lived to be almost 90, and her dad lived
to be 95. Fry
almost didn't have the chance to realize her potential for longevity. She
needed to have her tonsils and adenoids removed at age 16. Her life could
have ended then. "They
used a fork with two tongs," Fry said of the old procedure. "And
they used local anesthetic, but they didn't wait long enough for it to
work." Fry
explained that something went wrong during the surgery. "Another
doctor came in and held me for a couple of hours," she said.
"They thought I was going to bleed to death." A
whole new world As
a youngster, her family was always on the cutting edge of technology. They
were among the first in the town to have a radio, telephone and
electricity. "My
father worked hard to get a telephone," Fry said. "He listened
to the radio at noon, when they gave the farm prices, then he would call
the other farmers to tell them." Fry
said her life didn't change much before the telephone came along. It
changed again when she went to Hanover College. "It
opened up a whole new world for me because there were people there from
all over," she said. Fry
met her first husband at Hanover before returning to Vevay to teach at her
old one-room schoolhouse. She taught for four years before raising her two
children. Her first husband died in the late 1930s and she married her
second husband during World War II. This
husband may have been her soul mate. She went to grammar school with him
and they grew up together. They fell in love and married after their first
spouses died. Fry
has since outlived that husband. She didn't say exactly when he died. "I've
been alone for a long time," she said. Fry
's two children - who are in their late 70s - five grandchildren and nine
great-grandchildren keep her company. And she remembers everything about
them. She
joyfully discusses her extended family and their spouses, even though most
of them are spread across Indiana and the rest of the country. Some
of them are working to get Fry registered as one of the oldest people in
the world. This
milestone age doesn't matter much to her, she says. She worries more about
her family. "I want them to live," she says of her children and grandchildren. "I'm so near the other world that I don't know sometimes if I'm in this one or out of it." Copyright

Oklahoma City, OK – OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The only Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegation says he remains opposed to President Obama's plan to overhaul health care.
U.S. Rep. Dan Boren says the administration's latest package includes the same components that caused him to vote against the first plan that failed to pass the House.
Boren expressed specific concerns that tax increases on small businesses and mandates on employers will lead to job losses.
Boren says he supports some insurance reforms such as eliminating pre-existing conditions and making insurance plans portable, but that he can't support the bill in its current form.

Clooney ditches Warner for Sony Pictures
U.S. actor George Clooney is taking his production company from Warner Brothers to Sony where he's negotiating a two-year deal, Sony officials say.
Sony Pictures Entertainment Co-Chairman Amy Pascal confirmed Clooney's Smokehouse Pictures is in final negotiations to ditch Warner in a deal that industry sources say illustrates how studios aren't willing to pay A-list
actor-producers as much in light of declining DVD sales and corporate cutbacks, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Citing unnamed sources, the Times said Warner offered a renewal to Clooney but that he wanted a change.
The newspaper said the move seems like a strange fit, since Sony is best known for crowd-pleasing blockbusters while Clooney favors smaller, arty movies. Warner's relationship with Clooney goes back to ER
and Batman and Robin,
but his box-office appeal peaked in 2001 with Ocean's Eleven,
with his recent movies being riskier projects such as Syriana
and The Good German.
Warner Brothers has been a great place to work and I've felt like part of a family for almost 20 years,
Clooney said in Sony's statement. So in moving on, I'm leaving a terrific company and a lot of dear friends.

Lip stim--new trigger for an HFO ?
January 2010
Posts: 1,716
Need some help from the old hands on the Forum. I did a search for
lip stim
and found nothing. So, need some advice on some re-wiring thoughts.
Yesterday was a tough day with miserable winter driving conditions and a "must-do" trip to take my spouse to a chemo session. (which has wiped out any intense couples action in our sex lives.)
Last night I wasn't particularly hungry and skipped dinner, deciding to shower off the evils of the day and retire early. I let my wife know that I might opt for an early morning Aneros session so cleaned myself out and laid out my Eupho, mp3 gear, towel, washcloth and lube in the guest room. Hope was that my wonderful wife would get the best sleep possible. (Oh yes, I did not swallow any Viagra as I sometimes do if an early a.m. session is in the offing -- so, "I was clean.")
About two-thirty I awoke with a chubby and a mild prostate craving. Spread my towel, lubed up and fired up a relaxation track on the mp3 player. For several days I had planned on having a low-intensity session to explore a new stim target -- my lips. I'd not yet tried solo lip stim to see what the effect might be.
I started the well relaxed session with my fingertip stim routine and visualized my palms and fingers well wired to my prostate. Then I found a nice seam in my pillow slip and used that to caress my lips. Result: instant hot hardon with a desire to hump anything. Backed down from that path. No doubt that many years of passionate kissing had wired my lips & brain to produce a strong zap of nitric oxide right into the cavernosa. However, with a bit more prostate stim, maybe I could wire my lips into my p-wave/mini-O routine......
I backed off and returned to my arousal path using just finger stim. Got a nice warm p-wave sequence started in my pelvis and managed to route those upward along my abs and ribs. Was able to keep that going at a low level then found a couple of hairs near the knuckles of my left hand that were unusually sensitive. Worked those for a couple of minutes and decided I was near a trigger point (warm penis) so I did a PC squeeze, stored the energy in my belly and held the squeeze till I released into a nice dry mini-O.
As the O began to fade, I started a second arousal run using finger stim, got another p-wave sequence going and felt the mental approach to orgasm. I decided though to substitute some 'pillow kissing' for my usual PC contraction. I felt like I'd mini-O but within seconds, I was in trad-O squirting ejaculate. This trigger to HFO was far faster than I get with nips. :!:
Conclusion: Lip stim was pretty intense and interesting as a potential path to the prostate. My concern is that wiring into such a path might detract from my sexual responsiveness during foreplay.
Thoughts anyone?

as i posted yesterday sometime (but it was lost in the database shuffle, i guess), i tried this and it worked really well. came closest ever to hands-free ejaculation.
once you are wired, there really is no end to the discoveries you can make

lip stim = kissing
where is the problem - kissing during traditional sex I find most pleasurable so IMHO further development of your sensual response to kissing should not interfere with your traditional sex -

Immediately after reading this thread I went ahead and gave your suggestion a whirl, and lo and behold, I had a real corker of a Super O! (No HFO though). The fact is, when one is
, practically any form of stimulation can be utilized to produce an orgasm. Lips are particularly sensitive in this regard. I've been orgasmic while kissing for quite some time now, however I've never isolated the lips like this before. Nice.

First Solar expanding with California plant
- Staff Portland Business Journal
First Solar Inc. is building a new power plant in California and will have a new board member in CEO James Hughes.
The company made both announcements on Wednesday, around the time it sent out its second-quarter financial reports that showed it making $111 million for the three months that ended June 30.
The Tempe-based company (Nasdaq: FSLR) will build a 139-megawatt power plant called Campo Verde Solar Project near El Centro, Calif. Power from the plant will go to San Diego Gas & Electric on a 20-year agreement.
It marks the first deal between First solar and San Diego Gas & Electric. The project is expected to start construction in the next few months and will be done in 2013.
The plant will be owned by First Solar and US Solar Holdings LLC, with First Solar having the rights to buy the entire project.

My girls love their new suits and so do their friends.
A happy suit to make everyone on the pool deck smile. I bought it for my HS student. A splash of whimsy and humor goes a long way when swimming practice gets you down.
The graphics on the suit are great-my daughter gets lots of compliments on it. She wears it three days a week for diving and says it fits well. The only negative is that it is loose at the top (above the chest area)-kind of gappy. There are no coverage issues, but it could definitely be a little snugger through that area. Other than that it is a super cool suit and we would definitely try the brand again.
suit runs large in length
I teach Water Aerobics and my Senior Class love it when I turn up in something funky - laughing is good for the soul! I love the quirky humor and the streamlined fit. There's a little too much play center front top (NOT across the bust line) but could be the model has a prominent bone structure/clavicle

A place to declare your weekly results
Got my first run of the Brighton plan in today, just a gentle, sub-zero three miler in the dark to break me in gently... Enjoyed it though!
Word glad the run went well
Hi all.....this is my first post on this forum thread.
I'm looking at doing a Spring Marathon next year and have set a goal of losing at least 10-14lbs before it. I'm currently 162lbs (5ft 7") and have ran a few marathons this year....but to get anywhere near my goal of 3hrs 30mins, then my diet has to improve.
I hope you don't mind me joining you here? It could be the motivation I'm missing!
shady welcome to the thread which spring marathon are you doing both myself and Words are just starting our training towards the Brighton marathon next year this will be my 4 time running it have to say though your target time is a lot faster than mind
i am aiming to knock 29 second off of last years time as i missed going sub 4 hours by 28 seconds and like you have promised every year to get down to the 11st mark have to say haven't even got close to this how ever i did join Weight Watcher about 5 or 6 weeks ago and have now lost 1st 8lbs so far
so 11st for this years race is looking good at the moment
Hi guys I am still around just no time to get on here hope your all doing good
I am running as much as poss, had a quick run round the village streets in the very thick fog last night
Looking forward to finishing on the 21st and doing lots of running over Xmas I have no major plans so plenty of time to do it and also need to step up training for Silverstone HM and a PB hopefully also shifting a few pounds in the NY should help
Toby - you have lost an amazing amount of weight - well done no wonder ww are telling you you need to eat
Will be back before Xmas to catch up with you all
Boo x
Booy have a great Christmas hope you get lots of running in
Hi Toby. At the moment I'm looking at doing one end of March, start of April, although I haven't decided just yet which one I'll be doing. Rome looks nice, but is probably a bit too early. Richmond Park Marathon is also a goer, but this is late Spring, so would give me more time to train for. I would prefer an April Marathon though.
That's an impressive amount of weight you have lost. I know it's not the best time to start it, but I'm rationing myself off deserts at the moment......I think it's breaking that sugar addiction......not the best thing to be doing when theres mince pies all around the office!
I think if you carry on at this rate you wont have any trouble getting to 11st. For me its only 1lb a week, which should be doable. I'd like to see some research to see what correlation there is to quicker times and weight loss, and what each lb of weight loss equals in seconds faster.
Good luck on getting those 29 secs off your time.
Evening all
Busy week in work this week the other supervisor was out on holiday so have been in at 4.30pm all week and not finishing before 4.30am and all culminating in a 13.5 hour shift on Thursday so all though i did 5 miles on Tuesday outside and a 5 mile run on the treadmill Wednesday Fridays 10 mile run never happened
So went out with the wife today for the 10 mile run today weather was cold and got wet at one point when it poured down but all went well until about mile 8.5 when the wife had her first taste of hitting the wall so we walked the last mile now home sat in front of the television with our feet up
Hello again.
Welcome, Shady, and welcome back Booey!
Toby - it's never fun running in the cold and the wet! Hope you've warmed up by now!
First week of marathon training all done and dusted, including a satsifying 10-miler. My current PB is 4:21:38, so I've a huge amount to do if I want to break 4 hours. Plenty of effort required!
off to W/W again today got the feeling Iv'e plateaued and hav en't lost any thing this week as our scales are reading the same as they did last Monday but will wait and see my get a nice surprise or on the other hand a nasty shock
Booktrunk thanks hope your not out of action for to long
Hi all
good to see weight loss and running going on. Unfortunately my running year is over. I went for a run on Sunday but my calf went again after 3 1/2 miles. Have booked to see the physio on 3rd January so no exercise between now and then. Just have to hope that the alcohol piggy doesn't run amok in that time!
went to W/W on Monday done another 3lbs so now 11st 9lbs the group leader is still concerned I'm losing weight to fast so she up my pro point allowances to 32 as every time i lost it would drop so i started at 35 and was down to 31
Running wise week 2 of the Brighton training saw me do 7 on Monday and 5 yesterday have 5 to do today and 12 on Friday but if it's any thing like the last 2 years it never got done
Good King sorry to hear about the calf hope it's not to bad and hope you keep the alcohol piggy at bay
Toby that is brilliant. I had weeks where I lost a bit to much it's the running it helps soooo much Remember if you are loosing a bit to much just use more weeklies.
So weight... 10 stone 0.6 lbs this morning so happy. .7 away from the dreamland of saying i'm 9st x when i was 15st 8 in March I never dreamed I would be saying something like this, or dreamed of saying i've ran a marathon. What a year I think i'm going to be naughty over Xmas and just accept whatever weight I am when I first step on the scales after the new year that it would have been worth it and go from there
booktrunk that an amazing weight loss sounds like you've had a fantastic year and what a journey
Thanks Toby yes it's been a good 'un.
With regards to WW if you are in a hurry the ball park figure a lot of us on the WW forums use is 40 calories = 1 point, so if your out and about and want to grab something and know it's points value round it up to the next 40 calory mark and use that for it's value so 161-200 calories = 5 points, 81-120 = 3 points and so on Which on 32 points a days has you eating about 1280 calories plus of course as much free fruit and veg as you want and a portion of your weekly points. so if you split that evenly 7 a day = would be around 1560 calories a day plus fruit n veg You actually seem on about the abolute minimum points for a bloke as they as far as i understood always had +6 or so points compared to a girl on WW and the WW minimum is 26 points a day which is what i was on till i hit my target and in maintenance mode just to maintain my weight, i'm given an extra 6 points a day so upto the same as you at the moment 32 + weeklies.
Booktrunk thanks for that i don't think there such a thing as the perfect running weight after all were all different shapes and sizes
Hi all,
Well done Toby3 on the weight loss you will get the sub 4hr next year at Brighton, I am misisng not entering it abit, but have got Pitsford in March and Milton Keynes in May, and having a crack at 100 miler in August, so started training already.
Have a Happy Christmas and New Year

Year: 2011
Country: USA
Run Time: 87 minutes
Nantucket Sound is the vacation playground for America's richest families who have summer homes on the surrounding islands of Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod. Long a tourist destination, The Sound is now home to an approved plan to place 130 wind turbines as tall as 440 feet about ten miles from shore. CAPE SPIN is an inside look into the ensuing public outcry from local residents who don't want to see their million-dollar-views ruined, and the ambitious support from environmental groups eager to see The Sound serve as home to the country's first offshore wind farm. Getting an in-depth look into the political tug-of-war that has continued since the original 2001 proposal for Cape Wind's green energy project, it becomes clear that regardless of the motivations on both sides of the issue, this is going to be a well-financed fight to the finish. On the one side, Cape Wind serves as a marker for the U.S.'s attempts to be the planet's leader in renewable energy; on the other side, some of the most influential political and entrepreneurial players in our country are fighting for the right to unobstructed horizons. Even the environment-loving Kennedy family is pitted against the Cape Wind project. CAPE SPIN provides further proof that in the fight for a greener planet, there's nothing greener than cash. –T.W.

Pope begins 23rd foreign trip, to Mexico and Cuba
Catholic World News - March 23, 2012
Pope Benedict XVI left Rome on March 23, to begin the 23rd foreign trip of his pontificate, his 2nd visit as Pope to Latin America. He will be in Mexico from March 23 to 26, then travel to Cuba, returning to Rome on March 29. As he boarded his morning flight from Fiumicino airport, the Holy Father appeared in public using a cane for the first time. Aides disclosed that he has been walking with a cane around the apostolic palace for several weeks, to ease discomfort from his arthritic knees. Because of his advanced age, Pope Benedict has generally avoided long trips abroad. His schedule for this trip is relatively relaxed, allowing ample time for rest after the international flight. And he will not visit Mexico City, the nation's capital, where the high altitude might tax his strength. Instead the Pontiff will arrive Friday evening in the city of Leon. During his stay in Mexico the Pope is expected to address the problem of drug trafficking and the associated violence, which has reached frightening proportions in recent months. Some drug-trafficking gangs have announced an informal truce during the days of the papal visit. Archbishop José Guadalupe Martin Rabago of Leon has expressed confidence that Catholics will be able to attend papal events without fear of violence.
The Pope's visit may also have implications for Mexico's political situation, with presidential elections due this summer. Trailing in opinion polls, the ruling National Action Party (PAN) of President Felipe Calderon will hope to generate some excitement from the papal visit in a country where Catholicism remains strong even after years of aggressively secular rule.
From Mexico the Pope will continue on to Cuba, where he will face a different sort of political challenge. The Cuban government has shown a willingness to offer new scope to the Catholic Church, but opponents of the Castro regime fear that the government is co-opting the hierarchy, seeking to quiet complaints about human-rights violations. Church officials counter with the argument that negotiations have opened new vistas for religious activity, leading to greater freedom for all Cubans. Father Federico Lombardi, the director of the Vatican press office, alluded to that argument when he said that Cuban officials must realize the need for "a climate of development, freedom, and reconciliation."
During his stay in Cuba, the Pope is expected to meet privately with longtime dictator Fidel Castro, who is rumored to be seeking reconciliation with the Church as his health deteriorates.

All Rise...Judge Steve Evans examines this restrained British drama, the pinnacle of Michael Redgrave's career. The Charge"I am of the opinion that occasionally an anticlimax can be surprisingly effective." Opening StatementA masterpiece of British realism, The Browning Version features beautifully nuanced acting in the service of scabrous dialogue, as a repressed professor comes to terms with failure in his autumnal years. Characters practically ooze hatred for one another, yet they smile in their devotion to English manners. This faith in social proprieties may be all that keeps them from coming to blows. The teacher, his unfaithful wife, her lover, the school headmaster—these people practically suffocate under the weight of their life choices and the burden of maintaining a thin veneer of civility. Patience rewards the careful viewer, as seldom have such vicious conversations been delivered with such élan on film. Facts of the CaseDuring his final year as a classics teacher at an exclusive English prep school, embittered schoolmaster Andrew Crocker-Harris (Michael Redgrave, The Importance of Being Earnest) questions the meaning of his life as poor health and a miserable marriage lead him into depression. His students mock him behind his back. His casually malicious wife Millie (Jean Kent, who starred in the director's earlier The Woman in Question) indulges in an affair with Frank Hunter (Nigel Patrick, Battle of Britain), her husband's colleague. Adding to these insults, headmaster Frobisher (Wilfrid Hyde-White, The Winslow Boy) wants to deny Crocker-Harris his pension on a technicality—early retirement due to declining health. As Crocker-Harris slowly comes to grips with these slights, he begins to evaluate the folly of pride and his own arrogance. Ever stoic, his rigid manner hides profound remorse over the cruel remarks he has made to colleagues and students through the years. He simply does not know how to express it, though. Only young Taplow (Brian Smith, Feet of Clay), a sincere and unassuming student, harbors any compassion for the stern schoolmaster. The film's title refers to a translation of Agamemnon, the so-called Browning Version of the classical play. Taplow finds a second-hand copy of the book, which he gives to Crocker-Harris as a farewell gift. This simple sentiment and Taplow's gentle inscription inside the book lead to a devastating emotional catharsis for Crocker-Harris. His farewell address to the school is both tearless confessional and understated plea for redemption. The EvidenceOnly the most jaded viewer would dismiss The Browning Version as much ado about nothing, although a brief plot outline could give this impression. The characters are unpleasant, stiff, and devoid of feeling. Their plights are petty and mostly self-inflicted. Only when we discover their inner pain, the remorse that comes with the realization of a wasted life, do we feel pity for the universal humanity grown stagnant in their souls. At first blush the film seems similar to another classic dealing with a retiring English teacher, but The Browning Version is the very antithesis of the uplifting Goodbye, Mr. Chips. Directed with remarkable restraint by Anthony Asquith (The Winslow Boy) the film draws most of its tension from Redgrave's career-defining performance and the screenplay by Terence Rattigan, which he adapted from his one-act play. Rattigan and Redgrave took best screenplay and acting honors, respectively, at the 1951 Cannes Film Festival. Redgrave also takes credit for launching two other impressive thespian careers, those of his daughters Vanessa and Lynn. As Millie's lover, Ronald Howard displays a convincing crisis of conscience that elevates his character beyond that of a mere cad (trivia note: he is the son of Leslie Howard, Gone With the Wind). Brian Smith, who was 19 when he made this film, portrays the adolescent Taplow as a kind-hearted innocent, unsullied by the conniving adults in his prep school and the world beyond. Technically, the film can stand as an equal with anything by Asquith's British peers, including David Lean (Great Expectations), Carol Reed (The Third Man), and Alfred Hitchcock (The 39 Steps, whose protagonist, Robert Donat, would later star in Goodbye, Mr. Chips). Here, Asquith uses stunning deep-focus cinematography to fill the frame with gloom and shadow—techniques reminiscent of The Third Man and Citizen Kane before it. The superb camerawork and taut direction cleverly obscure the visual limitations of what is essentially a filmed play. Noted British director Mike Figgis (Secrets and Lies), filmed the 1994 remake of The Browning Version with Albert Finney (Tom Jones). In an extensive video interview on this disc, Figgis calls the original film a work of subtle genius. He describes Crocker-Harris as "the ultimate passionate stoic"—a paradox of repression brought to life by Redgrave's spot-on performance. Beneath the teacher's barely contained restraint and self-loathing lurks a seething rage, coiled tightly like a venomous snake. On the commentary track, film historian Bruce Eder describes the picture as a "heartbreaking study of rigidity." He notes that the teacher has over-intellectualized life to the exclusion of joy or any other emotion. Crocker-Harris has become so detached and disaffected that he is practically a bystander to his own life. The character of wife Millie, Eder says, remains a villainess rivaled only by Lady Macbeth in all of English theater and film. Yet she is not entirely unsympathetic. Caught in the soul-deadening trap of a miserable marriage, both Millie and Crocker-Harris resort to vile, rhetorical torments in a futile effort to escape from their marital prison. Eder also supplies fascinating insights into the production, mainly historical aspects of the story and subversive content in the subtext. (Playwright Rattigan remained a closeted homosexual for much of his life, using his writing to explore—and possibly editorialize upon—the dysfunction he perceived in male-female relationships. Knowing this, it's probably only a matter of time before an ambitious grad student writes a thesis comparing and contrasting Rattigan's work with the writings of Alan Ball, who won an Academy Award for his American Beauty screenplay.) Eder's running commentary provides excellent insight into the film and comes highly recommended. Criterion presents a flawless package, as is their custom, replete with generous extras, including a 1958 interview with Redgrave. Video and audio are pristine. The Rebuttal WitnessesAsquith directs at a mannerly pace, building his themes methodically. Younger audiences weaned on flash-cutting and cursory character development may grow impatient with these wholly unlikable characters. But we ought to approach these stuffed shirts with compassion—or at least appalled fascination—in order to appreciate their plight. Redgrave's repressed professor, while an inspired creation, is still an arrogant and obnoxious man. Only in the final act does his essential humanity force its way to the surface. But it is Redgrave's ability to transform this unsympathetic man into a pitiable figure that ultimately makes the film such a rewarding experience. That, and the jaw-dropping dialogue. There are lines in this picture that slice clean to the bone. Closing StatementThis seldom-seen film deserves a wider audience, especially for the ripe dialogue and rich performances. Students of sharp cinematography will be absorbed by the crisp work of cameraman Desmond Dickinson, who also shot Asquith's The Importance of Being Earnest and, years earlier, had framed Hamlet for Lawrence Olivier. The VerdictCrocker-Harris gives his own valediction. Criterion remains free to continue the production and release of superb DVD packages, offering unsurpassed quality for the discriminating collector.

Sanders - Saunders Marriage Records
elcome to the Sanders Family Association's family history section devoted to early marriage records of Sanders - Saunders families. This site is sponsored by the Sanders Family Association, a national, non-profit family club for all descendants of Sanders - Saunders families. Visit the Home page to learn more about the family club.The marriage records listed here are arranged by state, then by county. They are taken from a wide variety of sources, including information taken directly from county courthouse records, family bibles, published books and magazines, lists sent in by relatives and other sources. In many cases, the dates shown are not the actual date of marriage but rather when the marriage license -- or bond, was issued; this is especially true of older records. These are most likely a marriage "bond", a legal promise to marry the girl and if the marriage did not take place, the man and his bondsman forfeited the bond money. In a few cases, we have listed a "good guess" on marriages when we have been told what county the marriage took place in.
he main purpose of the family club is to gather and preserve our family history. Since one of the most important types of family history documents are marriage records, we urge everyone to help us in gathering and preserving these in our Family Library. If you have marriage records on the Sanders family, PLEASE send copies of these to the Family Club. We welcome xerox copies of actual marriage records as well as hand-copied info. Visit your local courthouses and copy all the Sanders - Saunders marriages you can find. Send this to the family club at the addresses below. Contact your close kin and get info from them on marriage dates. Make xerox copies of this information from your family Bibles. All this is very important for future generations.If you came directly to this site, be sure and visit the Family club's HOME page, the family NEWSLETTER (with obituaries, weddings, births and other news about your family), the QUERIES section and our other pages.

Homer News file photo
We come now to the point in our summer when we want to get everything done, and get it done now. The Betster, for example, has a gallon of paint sitting by the door ready to go on the greenhouse as soon as a) nothing exciting happens and b) the sun shines. Longtime observers of Homer's social and meteorological scene know that the chances of that greenhouse getting painted in August decline with every day. Visitors to Kachemak Bay may notice that by August the dedicated workers in our tourism industry sometimes slip into grumpiness. The Betster was chatting about this the other day with a water taxi driver who noted how sometimes it becomes necessary to enforce his boat's no-smoking rule by turning around and abandoning smokers at the Saddle Trail. "Of course, I'm more likely to do this in August," he said. Work 12-hour days, seven days straight, and one's social skills tend to get a bit rusty. That's assuming you don't wind up with an enforced visit to the emergency room, which happened to a friend of the Betster after 15 days straight without a day off. If you're one of those regular working schmoes with a 9-5, five day week job, count your blessings. Of course, working schmoes get just as exhausted trying to fit in house projects with dipnetting, fishing and going to family barbecues. Holy Blackberry! We're so overscheduled it feels like middle school. Well, as they say, "You can sleep in the winter." Meanwhile, there's so much to do the Betster needs a Cray supercomputer to keep track of it all. Fortunately, you have the Homer News online and print calendar. Take a gander and try out some of the Best Bets: BEST FREE TUNES BET: As part of its annual Summer Music Festival, the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra sponsors free noon concerts at venues around town. Today Sunrise Sjoeberg and Tim Quinn play at Don Jose's. Friday it's the popular To Be Announced at Two Sister's Bakery. On Monday at Fat Olive's it's Michael and Jessica Schallock, Tuesday it's Mark Wolbers at Bunnell Street Arts Center and Wednesday it's Jack Will and Sue Biggs at Duncan House. BEST BACK HOME BET: We'll be polite and not mention that time in study hall back in 1985 when little Lincoln Brewster took out his mandolin and ... OK, what happens at Homer High stays at Homer High. Brewster is all grown up and has made a name for himself as one of America's top Christian music performers. Catch him in concert at 7 p.m. today when he brings his soul savin' and toe tappin' music to the Homer Mariner Theatre. Tickets are $25 at the Homer Bookstore or $30 at the door. BEST MEN IN KILTS BET: Aye, you'll be yelling "Freedom!" and taunting the English at the Homer Scottish Highland Games. Think you have the muscle to toss the caber farther than some Scots alleged to be participating? Want to celebrate America's Scottish heritage? Just like to see men in kilts? Head to the games starting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Karen Hornaday Park. Admission is $25 to participate and $10 to watch. Just follow the highland bands walking from the Farmers' Market to the park on Saturday. BEST OLD NEW CIRCUS BET: The Betster isn't sure if it's the New Old or Old New Chautauqua Circus. By any name it sounds like a hoot, when a band of performers descend on Homer starting today. On Friday at 5 p.m. the troupe parades on the Spit followed by another parade at 6 p.m. on Friday, right in the middle of First Friday. Saturday the circus holds free workshops from 2-4 p.m. at Homer Middle School followed by a performance at 7:30 p.m. at the Homer High School Gym. BEST LIVING ART BET: Painters use pigment, but gardeners create their masterpieces with plants and flowers. We're in high summer now when everything seems to be in bloom. See the magic at local gardens when the Homer Garden Club holds its annual garden tour. For details, see story, page 2.

This appears in series with the element and may prevent enough current flow to enable the element to act as a parasitic.

For Women Of All Ages
For Intimate External Vaginal Cleansing
Hypo-Allergenic ~ pH 3.5 Rebalancing ~ Leaves a Fresh Sensation
In General, Why an Intimate Wash?
Many women suffer from vaginal discharge often associated with a disturbance of the normal vaginal environment, including a change in the vagina's normal level of acidity. Under normal conditions the vagina has a pH of 3.8-4.4 and is colonized by bacteria (Lactobacilli) which may have a role in defense against infection. The Lactobacilli help maintain vaginal acidity by producing lactic acid, thereby making the vagina inhospitable to many other microorganisms. When the natural environmental balance is disturbed and vaginal sensitivity increases, the vaginal pH tends to become less acidic and more prone to overgrowth by other organisms.
Why Choose "Intimore"?
The Intimore is a line of intimate hygienic products, which are manufactured by a pharmaceutical company and are perfectly adjusted for the external washing of the intimate area and specially formulated to:
Not tested on animals
Licensed by the Israel Ministry of Health
Manufactured by CTS Novis Ltd., since 1921

CHICAGO (January 10, 2013) — In its 28th year of honoring the nation's best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports, today announced Gabrielle Jennings of First Baptist Christian School as its 2012-13 Gatorade Louisiana Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year. Jennings is the first Gatorade Louisiana Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year to be chosen from First Baptist Christian School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the racecourse, distinguishes Jennings as Louisiana's best high school girls cross country runner. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year award to be announced in January, Jennings joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Ryan Hall (1999-00, 2000-01, Big Bear HS, Calif.), Derek Jeter (1991-92, Kalamazoo HS, Mich.), Candace Parker (2001-02, Naperville Central HS, Ill.), Abby Wambach (1997-98, Our Lady of Mercy, N.Y.) and Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.).
The 5-foot-6 freshman raced to a fifth consecutive Class C individual state championship with a time of 19:29.59 this past season. Also The Times-Picayune's All-New Orleans Area Runner of the Year, Jennings toed the line in five regular-season races this past fall, winning four by an average of 30.3 seconds and recording the state's fastest time with a 13th-place finish at the prestigious Jesse Owens Classic.
Also an accomplished artist, dancer and swimmer, Jennings has maintained a 3.85 GPA in the classroom and has served as her school's student council secretary. In addition to donating her time as a youth running instructor, she has volunteered locally on behalf of her church, the First Baptist Christian School, the National Beta Club and World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.
"Gabrielle is a true runner in every sense of the word, running not for the awards and accolades, but for her love of the sport," said First Baptist Christian School head coach Todd Jennings. "She truly enjoys every aspect of running, including the ability to reach out to others on her team, as well as competitors, to encourage them to 'just try to do their best' and achieve their goals. This is evident at every meet, where she can be seen yelling and cheering on every runner."
Jennings will begin her sophomore year of high school this fall.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA TODAY High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.
Jennings joins Gatorade Louisiana Girls Cross Country Runners of the Year Anna Katherine Devitt (2011-12, Christian Life Academy), Kaitlin Flattmann (2010-11, Benton High School) and Malia Cali (2009-10, 2008-09 & 2007-08, St. Thomas Aquinas) as athletes who have won the cross country award since its inception in 2007.

My wife asked me about this when we were playing Rock Band last night: were each of The Beatles mentioned by name in their songs?
The ones that spring to mind are the ones where Ringo says something like "Play it for Ringo one time, George", but the precise songs escape me right now - I know Act Naturally was one, and I suspect Honey Don't was another. If You've Got Trouble, on Anthology 2, had "Ah, rock on, anybody!" which I suppose includes all four of them.
Others: "Go Johnny, go go" in For You Blue, "the walrus was Paul" in Glass Onion, and "Come on Ringo, let's hear it for Denis" in You Know My Name (Look Up The Number).
Are there any others?

14 December 2009
Thanks all (though I'm not so sure about any of BeatleMark's!). And here's another Q for you all:
I was listening to All Things Must Pass yesterday and noticed the line "Let me roll it to you" in I'd Have You Anytime. So I started thinking about solo Beatles songs which reference the other members.
Paul's Let Me Roll It was presumably a tribute to John, as it sounded a lot like a Plastic Ono Band song, but the above line could well have been a nod to George. He also wrote Here Today after John's death. Ram has a few references to John and Yoko (Too Many People preaching practices, "We believe that we can't be wrong" etc), and of course John got his own back on How Do You Sleep.
George did All Those Years Ago for John, and wrote When We Was Fab about The Beatles in general. Was It's Johnny's Birthday on All Things Must Pass about Lennon? And did Ringo do any songs about the others?
Although it's clear what most of those songs were about, actual naming of the other members seems uncommon in the solo years. Did any of the songs mention them by name?
14 December 2009
And did Ringo do any songs about the others?
Ringo's "Early 1970" is a nice little song about the breakup, and the willingness of his former bandmates (none of 'em mentioned by name, as usual) to jam with him when they come to town. (George is always willing and able to play; John's making plans to do so; as for Paul, he's hopeful but unsure.)
29 December 2009
Ringo is still at it! And on the song Liverpool 8 from a couple of years back, he actually did mention all three of his ex-bandmates by name, in a verse about playing in Hamburg. And the following verse mentions playing Shea Stadium as well. There's also his tribute to George, Never Without You, which manages to include a couple of his song titles in the lyric.
6 December 2009
I always thought that Paul's 'Let Me Roll It' from the Band On The Run album was a response to John's 'How Do You Sleep.' In fact, I always thought 'Jet' made certain obscure references to Yoko. In fact, I always think that most of Paul's solo lyrics of the 70's were probably written with John in mind!

I thought How Do You Sleep? was in resoponse to Too Many People.
In the spoken outro to the reprise of Just Because on the 'Rock n Roll' CD, John says 'Hi to Ringo, Paul & George & everyone back home in England'.
Similarly, in the spoken outro on the final track of the 'Ringo' album, (You & Me Babe), Ringo name checks George Harrison, John Lennon & Paul McCartney.
In "Boys", John sings "Alright, George".
And there's a Ringo's song, that was written for George, as SugarPlumFairy said, called "Never Without You".
21 August 2009
I'm pretty sure that's not the case. They reversed the tape from the earlier verse where May says "John... John... John" ("Somebody calling my name...") - it sounds like "Norj". You can reverse it back and hear it.

On Y Not (which I bought the day it came out because I'm a 'tard) Ringo has a song called 'Peace Dream', and while not being directly about John, it has a lyrics that goes like...
"Just like John Lennon said,
In Amsterdam from his bed
One day we'll all wake up
to see the reality."

I remember Carlin made the same point in his book, drawing out several lyrics from various songs on Ram and showing how they applied to John, but in his 1984 Playboy interview, Paul seemed to narrow the scope a bit and indicated that only the song "Too Many People" was specifically directed at John:
PAUL: ... I was looking at my second solo album, Ram, the other day and I remember there was one tiny little reference to John in the whole thing. He'd been doing a lot of preaching, and it got up my nose a little bit. In one song, I wrote, "Too many people preaching practices," I think is the line. I mean, that was a little dig at John and Yoko. There wasn't anything else on it that was about them. Oh, there was "You took your lucky break and broke it in two."
LINDA: Same song. They got the message.
PAUL: But I think they took it further--
LINDA: They thought the whole album was about them. And then they got very upset.
PAUL: Yeah, that was the kind of thing that would happen. They'd take one small dig out of proportion and then come back at us in their next album. Then we'd say, "Hey, we only did two percent. they did 200 percent"--and we'd go through all of that insanity. (source, italics added)
It might be a bit of a stretch, but the lyrics to Paul's "The Song We Were Singing" (Flaming Pie) seem to be a general reference to the Beatles' days together: "To the sound, blue guitars, caught up in a philosophical discussion ... But we always came back to the songs we were singing, at any particular time."
And wasn't there a line in "You Never Give Me Your Money" that was more-or-less directed at John? "And in the middle of negotiation you break down ..."

What are you doing this Friday from 1:00 – 2:00 pm EST?
You're probably going to want to listen in at 99.5 FM in New York or stream live at WBAI.org the incredible radio program "Healthstyles" (or if you really must miss it, you can visit WBAI.org afterwards for an archive of the program and download it as a podcast).
Tristan Aaron of the Women's Media Center will be guest-hosting the show this week and will be joined by some fantastic women for a not-to-miss discussion on maternal health issues in health care reform, whether abstinence only programs have contributed to rising rates of teen pregnancy and the pending rape case in the NFL.
Just who are these illustrious women? Aaron will talk with Jennifer Block author of "Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care" to discuss how health care reform can address our critical maternal health and maternity care challenges in this country as framed in her most recent article on RH Reality Check (Part I of a two-part series), "Where's The Birth Plan?" They will also be joined by Jessica Valenti, author of "The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women" and Jaclyn Friedman, co-editor of the anthology, "Yes Means Yes! Visions of Female Sexual Power & A World Without Rape."
"Healthstyles" is a 25 year-old institution, according to Tristan Aaron (and I'm sure many others!) and is regularly hosted by public health nurse Barbara Glickstein.
I've already bookmarked the site, people. I suggest you tune in, log on, load up, whatever…

Roller shades can keep dogs safe in the summer heat
Jun 30 2010
Roller shades can keep dogs safe in the summer heat
The dangers of summer heat are widely known. When people step outside they are always sure to protect themselves from the harsh UV rays and high temperatures that are there to greet them. While many individuals are aware of the threats, they can forget to take the same precautions when it comes to their dogs. According to Hudson Sun, the summer heat can have a deadly impact on pets.
The news source reports that there are an number of signs that indicate that a dog is becoming overheated. Conditions like excessive panting, purple gums and being unresponsive to calls can all be warning signs of heat stroke.
The obvious way to avoid putting a dog in danger is to keep it inside, experts say.
"When it gets really hot, like 80-90 degrees, dogs really shouldn't spend the day outside," Crystal Blackdeer told the outlet. "But, if they are going to, they should have adequate access to shade and good shade - plentiful - and not just a doghouse."
Even if dogs are inside the house, it can get hot as well - especially without air conditioning. Industry analysts recommend hanging roller shades to keep potentially harmful heat out of the house.

Room Air Conditioners Can Head Off Allergens Before They Strike
SAN ANTONIO, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Could this be one of the worst and longest allergy seasons ever? Many experts agree that it is, due to the wet spring weather around most of the nation, leading to an abundance of flowering trees, bushes, grasses, mold and spores.
All year there are plenty of allergens to go around, both indoors and out, but did you know that selecting the right room air conditioner can improve the air you breathe by eliminating some of those irritants.
Friedrich Air Conditioning's air quality experts say that while we blame the great outdoors for our allergy problems, the great indoors has plenty of allergen sources of its own, as well as VOCs – or volatile organic compounds–which are emitted as gases by liquids and solids. In fact, VOCs that come from paints, lacquers, cleaning supplies, office equipment and other sources can be up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors. Like allergens, VOCs can irritate respiratory systems and may also have other undesirable health effects. (Source: EPA)
Common indoor irritants can be found in every room of the home and include the following:
- Dust, dust mites, pet dander, dry-cleaned clothing.
- Cleaning supplies, aerosol sprays, damp carpets and rugs.
- Cooking smoke, trash cans.
- Furniture, carpet, wood stoves and fireplaces, craft supplies.
- Auto exhaust and gas fumes, paints and solvents, building materials and pesticides.
- Marking pens, glues, some copy paper, copiers and printers.
How Kuhl Air Conditioners Can Help
Wouldn't it be preferable to stop allergy attacks before they happen and minimize exposure to potentially harmful VOCs? In 2010, Friedrich introduced its sleek, new Kuhl room air conditioner with optional dual-stage filtration. Kuhl's unique carbon filtration process can reduce odors, ozone and other impurities from the air by combining an optional carbon filter with Kuhl's antimicrobial filter to achieve lab-tested, superior air filtration ratings up to MERV 6 (minimum efficiency reporting value –ASHRAE 52.2).
"While many of us think of room air conditioners as appliances that cool our homes, we don't always think about the health benefits they provide," said David Lingrey, vice president of engineering for Friedrich Air Conditioning.
Kuhl's dual-stage filtration process, for example, can capture 75% more particles in the 3 to 10 micron range than standard mesh and foam filters.
"Change filters often for peak performance," said Lingrey. "Air quality provided by room air conditioners is only as good as the filter is clean. We recommend that filters are inspected, cleaned and changed at a maximum of every 300 hours of unit operation or at three-month intervals," Lingrey said.
"Homes and businesses with more demanding, high-dust environments will need to be evaluated more frequently. In that scenario, the carbon filter may need to be changed monthly. The permanent filter needs to be washed with mild, soapy water on the same schedule," he concluded.
For more information or to find a dealer, visit www.friedrich.com or call 800-541-6645.
Founded in 1883, Friedrich Air Conditioning is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of cooling and heating products including commercial-grade room air conditioners, single package vertical units, packaged terminal air conditioners, through-the-wall air conditioners, ductless split systems, portable air conditioners and dehumidifiers.

Angels Question from Edz on 10-30-2012: |
Hi Fr. John, As I understand, angels do not have "sex" because
they're spirits but if we will read the Bible most are
masculine names. I understand that angels can take
human form that is why maybe some artists portray them
as females. I only assume this. But is there a chance
that a passage in the Bible mentioned that they took
form of a woman? I really would like to be enlightened
about angel matters since I am getting confused with
all the questionings of my uncle whose a member of a
different sect. Thank you for your time! :) |
Answer by Fr. John Echert on 11-06-2012: |
While angels are sometimes artistically pictured with long flowing hair, I believe that most Christian artists have represented them as males. Lord knows how modern New Agers picture them, which is another matter. I cannot recall a passage in which angels are represented as women. Angels are messengers and agents of God, and so when they do appear to us, they appropriately appear as males, sometimes even reflecting the Trinity of Persons or prefiguring the Incarnate Christ.

The number of loaded spectra [int]. |
Spectral data container. This is a singleton - only 1 instance allowed Public instance attributes, GET only unless stated otherwise. nGroups -- The number of data groups [int]. nSpectra -- The number of loaded spectra [int].
def __init__ | ( | self | ) |
def __call__ | ( | self, | |
expr | |||
) |
DataManager get or set spectra. Get: expr -- An integer referring to the spectrum index number. Returns the spectrum, or raises an Exception if the integer is out of range. Set: expr -- A string following the same syntax rules as Xspec's traditional "data" command handler.
def __iadd__ | ( | self, | |

Add 1 spectrum to the data container. spectra - the data filename string.
def __isub__ | ( | self, | |

) |
Remove 1 or all spectra from the data container. spectra - either a single spectrum index number (int), a single Spectrum object, or the string "*" to remove all.
def clear | ( | self | ) |
Remove all spectra from the data container.
def diagrsp | ( | self | ) |
Diagonalize the current response matrix for ideal response. All currently loaded responses will be replaced with diagonal response matrices. The energy range and channel binning information are retained from the original response, as is the effective area. The channel values are mapped directly into the corresponding energy ranges to simulate a detector with perfect spectral resolution. To remove diagonal responses and restore the originals, call the AllData.removeDummyrsp() method.
def dummyrsp | ( | self, | |
lowE = None , |
highE = None , |
nBins = None , |
scaleType = None , |
chanOffset = None , |
chanWidth = None |
) |
Create a dummy response and apply it to all spectra. Input arguments, all are optional: lowE - Input response energy lower bound, in keV. [float] highE - Input response energy higher bound, in keV. [float] nBins - Number of bins into which the energy range is divided [int]. scaleType - "log" or "lin" [string] chanOffset - Starting value of dummy channel energies. [float] chanWidth - Energy width of the channel bins. [float] If this is set to 0, the dummy response can only be used for evaluating model arrays, and not for fitting to spectra. Examples: # All values are optional, use keywords to enter values # non-consecutively. Unspecified values revert to the # current defaults. AllData.dummyrsp(.3, 30., 100, chanWidth=.5) AllData.dummyrsp(highE = 50.) AllData.dummyrsp(.1,10.,100,"lin",.0, 1.0) Initial defaults: lowE = .1, highE = 50., nBins = 50, scaleType = "log" chanOffset = .0, chanWidth = .0 The defaults for lowE, highE, nBins, scaleType, and chanOffset will be modified for each explicit new entry. chanWidth always defaults to 0. To remove dummy responses and restore actual responses (if any), call the removeDummyrsp() method. To apply a dummy response to just a single spectrum, use the Spectrum.dummyrsp method.
def fakeit | ( | self, | |
nSpectra = 1 , |
settings = None , |
applyStats = True , |
filePrefix = "" |
) |
Produce spectra with simulated data using XSPEC's fakeit command. Note that if this method is run when spectra are currently loaded, it will follow the same rule as the standard XSPEC fakeit function: It will REMOVE ALL pre-existing spectra and replace each one with a simulated spectrum (even if nSpectra is less than the number originally loaded). All arguments are optional: nSpectra -- The number of fake spectra to produce. [int] If there are nOrig pre-existing spectra loaded at the time this function is called and nSpectra < nOrig, nSpectra will be RESET to nOrig (see note above). If nSpectra == nOrig, then each of the fake spectra will use the settings from the respective original spectra for their defaults (see the FakeitSettings class description). If nSpectra > nOrig, then settings for the fake spectra numbered above nOrig will not be based on pre-existing spectra (if any). settings -- A collection of 0 to nSpectra FakeitSettings objects, which may be entered as a list, a dictionary, a single FakeitSettings object, or None. If settings is a dictionary, the key,value pairs should be the spectrum index number (1 is lowest) and the FakeitSettings object. This function will match up FakeitSettings objects 1-to-1 with the nSpectra fake spectra to be created. If user provides FEWER than nSpectra FakeitSettings objects, fakeit will generate the necessary additional objects with their default settings. If MORE than nSpectra FakeitSettings objects are provided, the extra objects will be ignored. applyStats -- If set to True, statistical fluctuations will be included in the generation of fake spectra. [bool] filePrefix -- Optional string to attach as a prefix to default fakeit output file names. Note that this only applies when using the default file names. If a file name is explicitly entered in the FakeitSettings.fileName attribute, it will not make use of this. Examples: # Assume no data is loaded, but a model is defined: AllData.fakeit() # Creates 1 fake spectrum using the default FakeitSettings object, # which has all input strings empty. So it will use XSPEC's internal # dummy response and its output file name will be dummy_rsp_1.fak. # Now assume AllData contains 2 spectra PRIOR to running EACH of the # following commands, then: AllData.fakeit() # Creates 2 fake spectra with all settings (response, arf, # background, exposure, corrscale, backExposure, filenames) based # on the original spectra. The original 2 spectra are removed from # AllData. AllData.fakeit(3) # Creates the first 2 spectra as above. The 3rd fake spectrum is # based on the default FakeitSettings object and its output filename # will be dummy_rsp_3.fak fs = FakeitSettings(background="back1.pha", exposure=2000.0) sl = 3*[fs] AllData.fakeit(3, sl) # Same as above, but all 3 fake spectra will have a background file # based on back1.pha, and exposure time = 2000.0 sec. AllData.fakeit(3, sl, False, "my_fake_") # Same as above, but no statistical fluctuations will be applied to # fake spectra, and all output files will have the "my_fake_" # prefix attached. fs1 = FakeitSettings("resp1.rmf","arf1.pha",exposure=1500.) fs2 = FakeitSettings(fs1) fs2.response = "resp2.rmf" sd = {3:fs1, 5:fs2} AllData.fakeit(5, sd) # Creates 5 fake spectra. The first 2 use the settings from the # originally loaded data. Spectra 3 and 5 use the settings from # the fs1 and fs2 FakeitSettings objects, which differ only in their # response names. Spectrum 4 uses the default FakeitSettings object.
def ignore | ( | self, | |
ignoreRange | |||
) |
Apply an ingore channels range to multiple loaded spectra. ignoreRange -- String specifying the spectra ranges and/or channel ranges to ignore, or "bad". This follows the same syntax as used in the standard Xspec "ignore" command, except that the spectrum range always defaults to ALL spectra. If the channel ranges are floats rather than ints, they will be treated as energies or wavelengths (depending on the Plot settings).
def notice | ( | self, | |
noticeRange | |||
) |
Apply a notice channels range to multiple loaded spectra. noticeRange -- String specifying the spectra ranges and/or channel ranges to notice. This follows the same syntax as used in the standard Xspec "notice" command, except that the spectrum range always defaults to ALL spectra. If the numbers are floats rather than ints, they will be treated as energies or wavelengths (depending on the Plot settings). If the string is "all", it will notice all channels in all spectra.
def removeDummyrsp | ( | self | ) |
Remove all dummy responses, restore original responses (if any).
def show | ( | self | ) |
Display information for all loaded spectra.
The number of data groups [int].
