Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info |
This is an entirely solo 1991 performance by Dave Swarbrick, just a man and his fiddle. Thankfully this is a predominantly instrumental set as Swarbrick's voice is a bit shaky on the opening selection "Bonny Black Hare." His voice seemed to solidify only slightly on the next vocal piece "Lovely Nancy." Singing, however, was never Swarbrick's selling point; rather, it's his precise yet soulful playing that has influenced many through the years. "Sleepy Maggie," "Lady Mary Hayes Scotch Measure," and "Bunker Hill" are reflective of his unique and perhaps unmatched style but they are marred by his uncontrollable grunts and snortles (? la Ian Anderson). On the other hand, some listeners might find such outbursts endearing or simply the embodiment of his total absorption into his craft. Always a fine interpreter of legendary Irish bard Turlough O'Carolan Swarbrick offers another soulful rendition of the lamentable "Sheebeg and Shemore," which he first recorded on 1977's Swarbrick 2. ~ Dave Sleger |

dc.description.abstract | The broad structure of this reflexive essay is twofold: First I discuss my experience of making a compact disc (CD) recording with the Trio Hemanay, which consists of three performer-musicians – Marian Lewin (cello), Helen Vosloo (flute) and myself, Malcolm Nay (piano), and second I offer an analysis of Hendrik Hofmeyr's Notturno Elegiaco for Piano Trio, a work composed specifically for the Trio Hemanay,. I draw on writings of other performers and recording artists, who have contemplated and engaged with the recording process, in order to place myself, the Trio and our music-making within a South African context. I further contextualise the Trio with reference to other well-known performing ensembles in South Africa. I refer to the inception and constitution of the Hemanay Trio and give some insights into aspects that inform the aesthetics and rationale of its establishment and existence. I also discuss the practicalities of financing and producing such a recording, and the extent to which non-musical issues inevitably impact on the artistic outcome. I further elaborate on the value of documenting music through recordings, both from a personal and from an objective perspective, and I reflect on what I have learnt from the recording experience; where relevant, I collate this with the experience of my two colleagues. In Part II, I offer an analysis of the musical content and a stylistic scrutiny of Hendrik Hofmeyr's Notturno Elegiaco, recorded by Trio Hemanay on the CD under discussion (the only current recording of this work). This essay is written in a narrative form, which allows me to discuss the inception of the recording, the development of the process and the elements that have contributed to the acquisition of greater insights for both me and for the Trio, all of which may influence future projects. | en_US |

Yu Darvish Tabbed Opening Day Starter
Posted By Sports Talk Florida On February 25, 2014 @ 12:43 PM In MLB,News and Rumors | No Comments
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Yu Darvish will be the opening day starter for the Rangers.
Manager Ron Washington says he informed Darvish on Tuesday morning that the right-hander from Japan will start March 31 against Philadelphia at home.
Darvish is going into his third major league season. He started the second game last season, when he came within one out of a perfect game against Houston. He went on to lead the majors with 277 strikeouts and finish second in the AL Cy Young Award voting.
The last Rangers starter with consecutive opening day starts was Kevin Millwood from 2006 to 2009.
Darvish will be the sixth different opening day starter in six years for Texas. Matt Harrison started last year's opener.

text: There are two ways of seeing everything. Clear seeing sees genuine reality, suchness, things as they are. Confused seeing sees projections and delusion. From clear seeing comes liberation. From confused seeing comes suffering. That's the gist of what the Buddha taught. Contemplating Reality, written by Andy Karr, explains in plain English these two ways of seeing, and presents the progression of Buddhist teachings and contemplations that help transform confused seeing into clear seeing. This site is an introduction to the book and provides additional resources for the journey. "Here is a book that attempts to explain the fundamental Buddhist view, something that has been neglected for so long. People have been more interested in meditation, energy, calming down, and training the mind. I can't emphasize enough during this transitional time as Buddhism is being established in the West that at least some of us focus on the Buddhist view. I welcome this book as a sign of the dawn of appreciation of Buddhist wisdom, not just for its exotic aspects but as a philosophy that is up to date and even more relevant now than ever." -Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

New Self-help Guidebook Draws Inspiration from 'Hamlet'
HIGHLAND PARK, Ill., July 23 /PRNewswire/ — In the new do-it-yourself life-coaching and personal development guide, "The Hamlet Secret: A Self-Directed (Shakespearean) Workbook for Living a Passionate, Joy-Filled Life" (published by AuthorHouse), author, former actor and director, performance breakthrough coach and entrepreneur James M. Lynch draws inspiration from "Hamlet," one of Shakespeare's most influential plays, to offer readers a guide to a deeper, more meaningful life.
Lynch revisits "Hamlet" and sheds new light on some of its most memorable lines. "The Hamlet Secret" highlights these lines' possible meaning in readers' lives and challenges readers to take on the lesson of the quotation with simple, accessible exercises. These exercises encourage readers to take on issues in real life, all while understanding that they are affecting their own life as an actor affects the world of the stage.
"The Hamlet Secret" unlocks the secrets to personal growth, revealing how to reinvest in your passion and rediscover your energy for life. With over 70 lessons and exercises, Lynch reveals a great deal of humor, personal anecdotes and an enlightening worldview. He writes:
Bernardo: Who's there?
Francisco: Nay, answer me. Stand and unfold yourself.
Hamlet, Act I, Scene 1
The reference here is to two guards meeting each other in the dark and each demanding the other to identify himself. It's dark and cold, and they are wrapped up in cloaks against the cold so they need to ask: unfold yourself.
So, here's your chance to unfold YOUR "self."
What is the "cloak" you've wrapped around your true self that keeps people around you from recognizing you – not just in the dark, but in the plain light of day?
"The Hamlet Secret" is ideal for anyone looking to experience a life of joy and purpose, regardless of the reader's familiarity with the famous bard. Lynch's lessons and workbook are provoking and rejuvenating, inspiring readers with every line.
James M. Lynch is a former actor, producer and director of theater. He worked in various other capacities before becoming co-owner of Knowledge-Mint, a company specializing in developing highly trafficked sites for their clients. He also works as a training consultant, performance breakthrough coach, cultural consultant and is the leader of the seminars and writing associated with http://www.starofyourownlife.com, a do-it-yourself life coach site. He currently lives with his wife and three children in a suburb of Chicago, and continues to produce and promote art and theater.

Addicted to Audible!
"Kept me listening"
This was not the most exciting murder mystery nor the most original. However, I found that it was good enough to keep me listening and not become bored. The plot moved along, the characters were fairly realistic for this genre. The narration was decent. I liked the fact that she didn't tie it all up with a perfect ending. I might try another one of this authors books in the future, she wont be on my top 10 list but it certainly wasnt a waste of points.
"Excellent Read"
I enjoyed listening to the audio edition. Suzanne Toren did a good job.
When Joe and the other three had a decision to make.
This is my first time listening to Suzanne Toren.
I liked this book so well, that I will be buying more of P.J. Parrish.
"A mesmerising but bitter story"
The story was as believable as it was breathtaking .. A good crime novel but makes sleeping a little difficult after.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Clinical Trial of Vincristine vs. Prednisolone for Treatment of Complicated Hemangiomas
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Prednisolone and Vincristine for treatment of large, complicated infantile hemangiomas. The diagnostic, therapeutic and response criteria experimentally determined in this study will be used as a framework for future infantile hemangioma studies.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Hemangioma |
Drug: Vincristine Drug: Prednisone |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase II, Randomized, Clinical Trial Assessing Efficacy And Safety Of Oral Prednisolone vs Intravenous Vincristine In The Treatment Of Infantile |
- Response of Hemangioma (IH) to Treatment [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Response of IH not confined to the dermis will be coded using the following criteria: Progressive disease: >40% increase in volume by MRI, Partial response: >65% reduction in volume by MRI, Complete response: no visual or radiographic evidence of disease, Stable disease: none of the above or <40% increase or <65% decrease in volume by MRI.
Response of superficial IH will be coded using the following criteria (based on RECIST): Progressive disease: >30% increase in IH size, Partial response: >30% reduction in size, Complete response: no evidence of disease, Stable disease: none of the above.
Our first 3 patients showed limits to using MRI volume to measure IH size/response to therapy. Unlike other solid tumors, the superficial distribution of some IH made getting volume by MRI difficult, resulting in smaller tumor estimation compared to clinical assessment. Based on these observations, we amended the protocol to report response based on RECIST criteria instead of change in IH volume.
- Toxicity to Medications [ Time Frame: Initial visit, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 12 weeks of therapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Adverse events were closely monitored and recorded at weekly visits during treatment period and for two years after treatment ceased. Laboratory values were taken every other week during the treatment period.
Please see Adverse Events module for more details.
Enrollment: | 8 |
Study Start Date: | November 2007 |
Study Completion Date: | December 2012 |
Primary Completion Date: | December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: 1
Vincristine is a drug that has been used to treat cancers in children (including infants). It has been effective in treating a small number of infants with hemangiomas, most of whom failed previous therapies including steroids. Vincristine must be administered into a vein. Given the encouraging response data and documented safety record, Vincristine is a good choice for a clinical trial treating infants with complicated hemangiomas.
Drug: Vincristine
Vincristine (0.05 mg/kg/dose) will be administered into a vein (PICC line) every week for 12 weeks. If assigned to receive Vincristine, a PICC line will be placed by a doctor who is a specialist in this procedure, an interventional radiologist. This will require sedation and when possible, will be coordinated with sedation for the MRI.
Other Name: VINCRISTINE SULFATE (Oncovin®, VCR, LCR) NSC #67574 (042006)
Active Comparator: 2
The standard treatment for hemangioma at most centers is oral steroids (Prednisolone). Prednisolone has been used to stop the growth of infantile hemangiomas that are life threatening, that could harm important functions, or are likely to result in severe disfigurement (scarring) without treatment.
Drug: Prednisone
Prednisolone given at 3 mg/kg/day by mouth for 12 week
Other Name: PREDNISOLONE SODIUM PHOSPHATE SYRUP/SOLUTION 15mg/5 cc (Orapred®)
Detailed Description:
Infants with large hemangiomas are often treated systemically with oral steroids (Prednisolone) to prevent complications. The best treatment for hemangiomas is not known and there are no medications approved by the FDA for treatment of hemangiomas. Also, the best method to measure the response of hemangioma to treatment is not known. Patients enrolling on this study will be randomly assigned to receive either daily Prednisolone by mouth or weekly Vincristine in a vein. Response to treatment will be monitored by clinical exams every two weeks and by an MRI at study entry and six and twelve weeks later. Patients with evidence of progressive disease (larger hemangiomas) on the week 6 MRI will be switched to the other drug to complete a total of 12 weeks of therapy. Side effects of each medication will be monitored closely determined from histories, physical exams, blood tests and other studies as necessary. Participation in this study will last up to 12 weeks and follow up for protocol.
Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 6 Months |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children age 0-6 months old.
- Infants with infantile hemangiomas with complications that require systemic therapy to control their growth. To be eligible for enrollment infants must have clear indications for systemic treatment.
- Clinical diagnosis of infantile hemangioma confirmed by tissue biopsy positive for GLUT-1 Immunohistochemical staining. If the risk of bleeding or permanent disfigurement from biopsy is believed to be too great then clinical and radiological characteristics may be used to establish the diagnosis after discussion with the study PI. Patients with GLUT-1 negative vascular tumors such as Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, tufted angioma, and angiosarcoma are not eligible.
- Hemangiomas must be greater than or equal to 50 cm2 clinically measured by taking the product of the two largest perpendicular diameters and have one of the following complications: ulceration, impairment of vision, impairment of hearing, obstruction of the airway, high output cardiac failure, bleeding, abdominal distention and/or compartment syndrome, compression of the spinal cord, or high risk of permanent disfigurement.
Adequate liver function defined as:
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age, and
- SGPT(serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase) (ALT) < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age.
- Patients who have received topical or intralesional corticosteroids are eligible to be enrolled. A washout of one week is required prior to study enrollment. Patients who have undergone surgical resection are eligible if they meet all inclusion criteria after surgery.
- All patients' parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent. All institutional and FDA requirements for human studies must be met.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children greater then 6 months old.
- Contraindications to Vincristine: previously diagnosed neuropathy including sensory neuropathy type 1, Charcot- Marie-Tooth or childhood poliomyelitis.
- Hemangioma involving the central nervous system (CNS) as Vincristine has poor CNS penetration.
- Infants who have received prior systemic therapy with corticosteroids (oral or intravenous), interferon or Vincristine are not eligible for enrollment.
- Patients receiving Vincristine who concomitantly require oral steroids for treatment of non-hemangioma indications such as asthma or atopic dermatitis will be removed from study.
- A life-threatening intercurrent infection.
- Infants with an underlying illness that would require use of general anesthesia (as opposed to sedation) for the MRI.

Place was packed when we arrived. Thank goodness we had a reservation. Site size okay, but not generous. E/W/S services worked fine. Leveling was easier than getting into the site was. It also required backing up and going through the next site to exit due to trees. Bumpy and narrow roads. We camped at Evergreen Camping Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2013 - $28.00
Nice campground with lots of seasonal sites. They gave us a back-in but sent us down the wrong road to get into it. We ended up making it a pull-through by driving into the ballfield and into our site. Dumpsters were way out behind office. They have a cafe/restaurant but we didn't try it. Had issues with Wi-Fi - couldn't get on at site, had to go sit next to antenna for signal. Quiet and convenient to road. Rate reflect PPA and 50amp. We camped at Evergreen Camping Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2008 - $15.00
Narrow roads in park with tight turns. The power was very weak. Our spot was short and hard to get into. You would not want to go in this park with anything longer than 30 foot. Most of the spots were long term residents. WI-FI was very weak. We camped at Evergreen Camping Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

Oh, Joyce what a trouble maker you are. Just kiding. It's another really good post. Even though Tayla is our first purebred Golden she is a rescue from what I am assuming is a BYB and I've already had trouble with her as we found out at 7 months she has bad hips. I don't know if we will ever get a dog from a "reputable breeder" as we will probably always rescue, but you are correct in the fact that this forum is a great learning tool. |

I found this forum after I got Vinnie. I lost my sweet Lucy, she was a lab/golden mix. She was my third rescue dog and she was the love of my life. She died of cancer just before her ninth birthday. My husband and I needed to fill the void soon. We have to have a dog in our life to function. I have wanted a Golden all my life and I kind of felt guilty about not going the rescue route again but decided I would not settle for anything else. I answered an ad in the classified for a Golden and that's how I found him. The "breeder" said this is her first litter from her small red female and she bred her with large cream male. About a week ago I found her email address and sent her a picture and an update of Vinnie and she was ecstatic. I hope and pray that Vinnie lives a long healthy life and I will do everything I can to give him the best chance. I can't say I have regrets now because I love Vinnie so much. He has had no health issues at all and other than the fact he was a normal puppy ( and still is) he has been a joy! I'm sure if I ever get another Golden puppy I will go through a reputable breeder knowing what I know now. This forum has been a God send to me and I echo what Joyce says...Thank you all for sharing your experience and expertise on a daily basis. Lucy Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App |

I guess I do not understand. There will always be backyard breeders. These pups deserve a life too. My Allie was not wanted because she had problems. I payed for her and loved her and cared for her and she had a good life . Maybe she would have been put down if I didn't take her. She was my life and I will not say I am sorry for having her. |

I only wrote this post because I didn't understand the other side of the coin before, I do now. I don't expect you to say you're sorry for having Allie no more than I would apologize for having Bentley. And believe me when I say, I will never live long enough to apologize for having my Broadway Bentley

There are plenty of threads discussing the pros & cons of BYB. This is not meant to be one of those. It was a simple explanation and thank you. Nothing more, nothing less.

It doesn't seem like anything is lost, just gained. There's even some sort of SNOW PERFORMANCE setting in the OEM area of the OPTIONS menu. I wonder if that reads their Meth Injection system? I got an email back from Johan as I'm typing this. It is in fact for Meth control but it's not up and running yet. Also, we need a 1GB memory card. That's what they tested and it works. Larger doesn't work I believe. We had a Jeep guy try a 16GB and no go.
What's up you crazy Canuck? Long time no talk!! Funny thing is about the locks is...... I went over to see my mom today. I got out and it was still plugged in. I hit the locks and it locked. Well, I hit unlock and it unlocked. I was like WTF??!?! So I walked away fuurther and it still worked. So I locked it and went inside to see mom. came out about 30 mins. later...... and it wouldn't unlock. I was pissed. I thought they had fixed it. Dammit!!!!
I've never had any issues with my door locks. I have an early build 05 so no TPMS..

Some vehicles, and it seems mainly 2007 Jeeps not sure about LXs, have the issue of.....
When the Trinity is left plugged in, the key fob won't work. Mine will lock it if you're next to it, but will never unlock it. Unplug it and it works just fine.
The TPMS sensors will lose signal to the car while it's plugged in. Mine says SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM and the light will blink a few times a day.
From what we've been told, there is an RFI interference somehow when the Trinity is plugged in. I can unplug it and a few miles the TPMS light stops blinking and all tires read again. Some tires get dropped reading a -- in the pressure reading of that tire. I lose anywhere from 1-3 tires. Like I said, unplug and they all come bacl.
Diablo knows about this and have tried several things like RF coating inside the Trinity which mine has. Didn't work. A different plug, which I have. Didn't work. I remember hearing something about the issue being possibly in the CAN-BUS.
So, I deal with the TPMS part everyday and just unplug it everytime I get out. After over a year now I'm used to it. The Trinity still works great and I love it, no doubt about it. It has helped me drop my times pretty damn good over the last year. Being able to hook my Innovate Wideband into it is crucial for email tuners. They can dial a tune in pretty damn good with the right logging from the track and from the street.
Ah, thanks for that explantation.
Looking forward to getting the Trinity in use. Yep, I have a EGT and an Innovate wideband that will be cool to add to my data logs.
You can hook the Wideband up to it no problem. As long as the EGT has an Analog out wire, you're good. You need to buy a stereo type plug. The Trinity uses the "left ear and right ear" of the headphone plug for the inputs. Left ear is analog 1 input for your wideband, and right ear is analog 2 for your EGT.
it uses the small cellphone sized headphone jack, no the regular size that everything else uses.

Bagging and tying isn't just a good idea, it's a county regulation monitored by the Maricopa County Health Department. Garbage, grass and other items placed in your garbage container may attract insects and cause unpleasant odors. Placing these items in securely tied plastic bags keeps your garbage container and the area around it clean.
Containers must be placed out for service by 6 a.m. on collection day and returned to private property by 6 a.m. the following day. To avoid missing your collection service, you may place your container at curbside the previous evening. In the event that you did not place your container at curbside by 6 a.m. of your assigned collection day, your container may not be serviced until the next scheduled collection day.
Do not overfill containers; maximum capacity is 200 pounds. The lid must be closed. Brush or other material is not allowed to stick out of the container. Containers that are overfilled may not be serviced until the next scheduled collection day.
Place the container at curbside with the handle side facing your house within one (1) foot of the curb and at least three (3) feet away from other containers or obstructions, such as a fence, street light, mailbox or other fixed objects.
In the interest of safety and efficiency on collection days, the city requests that cars not be parked on the streets, especially in cul-de-sacs. Do not park within ten (10) feet of containers in need of service. If a container is inaccessible to a collection vehicle, it is the owner or occupant's responsibility to move the container to an accessible and approved location for service. Containers that are blocked by vehicles may not be serviced until the next scheduled collection day.
Sanitation workers have a dangerous job, working all hours along busy streets and in tight spaces. We ask motorists to slow down and give a safe working distance. As a safety precaution, please keep children and pets away from our collection vehicles. Children and animals are attracted to large trucks, which is a safety concern for our drivers. Do not permit children to play near containers, especially on collection days.

Hi All Previously I had a Sony Ericsson Elm, and i want to transfer all my SMS texts from that phone to my new Xperia Neo (Android). What is the best way to do this? I have transfered all my Texts to an SD card using the File Manager tool on my Elm, so I think I Have them saved, but i can find now way of transferring them from the SD card to my Xperia phone. Look forward to hearing your responses. Kind Regards Gray
Right, I have made a certain amount of progress. I have managed, using MPE, Astro File Manager and SMSConvert, to get my recieved texts onto my phone.Excellent. However, I am unable to get my 'sent' texs onto my new phone. The reason being is a problem with the time stamp. I have done some research on this and it appears that when you use MPE you can't export the timestamp with sent texts. Does anyone know an alternative way to export my sent texts. Thanks for your help on all of this Regards Gray

All-optical bistability and switching near the Dirac point of a 2-D photonic crystal. |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 10, pp. 11862-11868 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2388 KB)
We investigate all-optical switching at the guided mode resonances originating near the Dirac point of a finite, 2-D photonic crystal consisting of a square lattice of dielectric columns possessing a cubic nonlinearity. The peculiar field localization properties of these Dirac-point guided mode resonances conspire to yield extremely low switching threshold at near-to-normal incidence for remarkably low filling factors of the nonlinear material.

Your back pain from compression fractures in the spine can be significantly reduced with advanced treatment methods – kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty – that use the latest imaging technology and specialized bone cement.
Our surgeons at the Orthopaedic & Spine Institute at Abington Health are highly experienced with these minimally invasive procedures. They understand the pain created by spinal compression fractures, will evaluate your condition compassionately and talk with you about your options.
This treatment enables our spine experts, using x-ray guidance, to restore lost vertebral height by inflating a balloon in the spine. They fill the cavity with durable bone cement. As the cement hardens, it stabilizes the fracture.
The procedure usually requires an overnight hospital stay. Pain relief generally takes 48 to 72 hours. Some patients experience greatly reduced pain immediately.
Kyphoplasty is used to treat painful spinal fractures from osteoporosis, metastatic cancer, multiple myeloma and bone lesions such as vertebral hemangiomas.
For this advanced technique, our surgeons work with interventional radiologists who provide fluoroscopic imaging for guidance. Using minimally invasive methods, our specialists inject bone cement into the fracture, stabilizing the bone as it hardens.
Following the procedure, patients must lie flat for two to three hours. Most are then discharged from the hospital. Some have immediate pain relief but most experience relief within 48 hours.
Vertebroplasty treats fractures from osteoporosis, tumors or traumatic injury.

"For mouth-watering steaks, it's more about how than what. Try this method with all bbq entrees. Not only does this method make flare-ups almost impossible, but also boils recycled moisture and spices back to steaks. It's kinda like beer can chicken without fumbling a hot bird!"

"General Dana was of New England ancestry. His father's family, already mentioned, were from Massachusetts and New Hampshire and his mother was Miss Mary A. Harris of Portsmouth, N. H. He was a nephew of Captain Whipple Harris of the Class of 1825, U. S. M. A. In 1844 General Dana was married in St. Louis to Sue Martin Sandford, of Kentucky. Their married life extended over sixty years and was one of great happiness. Their children were, Mary Langdon Dana, who died in 1904, aged fifty-nine; Charles Peaslee Dana, who died at the age of thirty in 1880; Dr. Alfred S. Dana, who died in 1901, aged forty-nine. Mary Dana, the only daughter, was married in 1870, to General John C. Tidball, U. S. A. Lieutenant William Tidball, A. C., is a grandson of General Dana and greatly resembles his grandfather in many ways. The other grandchildren of General Dana are Mrs. Robert B. Potter and Miss Mabel Tidball, who with William Tidball, are the children of his daughter Mary, and Alfred L. Dana and Winifred L. Dana, the children of his son Alfred.
General Napoleon Jackson Tecumseh Dana was born at Fort Sullivan, Eastport, Maine, April 15th, 1822.
Children of General Dana: Mary Langdon Dana, born at Fort Pike, on the Island of Petite Coquille, La., March 22, 1845; Charles Peaslee Dana, born at Fort Ripley, Minnesota Territory, August 15th, 1849; Alfred Sandford Dana, born at Louisville, Ky., November 18th, 1851."

In San Francisco he attached himself to the Pacific Rolling Mills, intending to follow the iron business for life. He was subject, however, to great exposure in going to the mills, and in the winter of 1873 suffered from an attack of pneumonia. This compelled him to change his plans, and from San Francisco he went to Chicago, 111., and engaged in the railroad business with his father in the office of the General Superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad. In the employ of the same company he was afterwards located successively at Joliet, 111., Quincy. 111., and Council Bluffs, la. He then went to Omaha, Neb., where he again suffered from pneumonia. Later he spent two years at Rock Island, 111., and in 1879 went to St. Louis, Mo., from there he removed to the plains for his health, and thence to Colorado Springs, where he died."

Increasing Brain Health through Tibetan Yoga
What is good for the brain is good for the whole being. This workshop presents an integrated program of Tibetan Yoga movement, breathing, and awareness exercises that can increase the healthy functioning of the brain. You will also learn about foods that nourish brain health and how exercises and good sleep patterns can rejuvenate the brain. Recent research studies provide clear evidence that regular meditation, healthy eating, exercise, and a positive mental outlook slow the aging process in the brain-allowing us to stay healthy and happy longer. Writer Jeffrey Kluger recently wrote in Time Magazine that, "Deciding to live better, it increasingly seems, is the same as deciding to live younger." Tibetan Yoga helps us to do just that: decreasing stress, negative thinking, and increasing circulation throughout the body as it opens the senses to positive stimuli. Donna Morton, PT, NC, Tibetan Yoga instructor, physical therapist and holistic nutrition consultant has successfully worked for many years with students and clients battling illness and physical limitation. She firmly believes that we are never too old or too young to make heathy lifestyle changes. Says Donna, "Tibetan Yoga offers techniques and approaches that simultaneously benefit body and mind. This is a powerful combination that can be utilized directly to increase brain functioning and health at any age." Open to all levels of students. April 25, 2015 10 AM - 4:45 PM Cost: $80, includes a vegetarian buffet lunch that supports brain health To register and for more information, please call (510) 809-1000 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Learn how to keep bees in your backyard!
Backyard Beekeeping Class Location: Sticky Art Lab, 1682 University Ave (at McGee), Berkeley Cost: $40 This popular class fills up every time we offer it, so sign up early! Honeybees are a joy to keep in the backyard simply for their buzzing presence and, on hot days, the smell of honey, wafting through the air within ten feet of the hive. They increase pollination in your yard and therefore increase your yields from fruit trees and vegetables. You may also harvest honey (gallons per year), beeswax, pollen, and propolis from the hive. We'll cover what you need to know to feel ready to have a Langstroth backyard beehive – how to get bees, what equipment you need, where to put the hive, how to extract honey and upkeep the hive. There will be local honey to try. Instructor: Jennifer Radtke has been keeping bees in her backyard for 9 years, and has developed the beekeeping education program at the Oasis. She is former vice-president of the Alameda Co Beekeeping Association. Click here to register!

17.04.07 - Given the lack of clarification on the terms of Frank Warrens offer for British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion Carl Froch to challenge WBO champion Joe Calzaghe, Frochs promoter Mick Hennessy has tabled a proposal of his own to stage the all-British super fight on a Hennessy Sports event either this July or September. After being made aware of Frank Warrens comments over the last few days, Im pleased to confirm that negotiations have started with his company Sports Network about a super fight between Carl Froch and Joe Calzaghe, confirmed Hennessy.. We were keen to negotiate this fight in the background to its conclusion, but articles published in the News of the World, The Nottingham Evening Post and the Guardian have left me no option but to go on record and address this matter. Hennessy explained: Sports Networks matchmaker first got in touch with us at the end of last week to ask if we were serious about making the fight. I said: of course: very serious. I explained we were fine with it being staged by Sports Network if the deal was right, but stressed that there couldnt be any options on Carl Frochs future fights. The matchmaker suggested that this could pose a problem and that Frank Warren would require some kind of options if Carl beat Calzaghe, but told me that he would get back to me. I then received a simple text on Saturday morning with a money offer for July or September, but there was no mention of the situation regarding options I requested clarification on their position regarding options in writing to our fax number, but received nothing. The lack of response suggests there is an issue, but this would appear to contradict Frank Warrens comments in the Guardian yesterday. At this moment, their stance on options is still unclear to me. I am happy to continue negotiations for Carl to box on a Sports Network event, but need to know they wont require an involvement in Carls career after the fight if he wins. Given Frank Warrens apparent confidence in Calzaghe, it would be a contradiction if they did. Unbeaten British and Commonwealth champion Froch has been promoted by Hennessy since his professional debut five years ago. He is currently ranked third by the WBO and second by the WBC, having stopped 17 of his 21 victims. He will move up a position in both rankings once Bute is removed for contesting a final eliminator for the IBF championship, leaving him at #1 with the WBC. Hennessy has long claimed a fight between the Nottingham boxer and Calzaghe is a marquee affair that would create significant nationwide and global interest. In order to make it happen, he has attempted to set the politics aside and made a firm offer of his own. This is a massive fight, between two of the best fighters in the world who both happen to be British, added Hennessy. Joe Calzaghe is a great champion and a true warrior. I believe it will take a very special fighter to beat him, but I believe Carl Froch to be just that. This is a marquee contest that needs to happen and options shouldnt get in the way. As such, I have attempted to put all the confusion to one side and made an offer to stage the fight in either July or September. I feel the offer was very generous. If you take the amounts that the champion and challenger receive from WBO purse bids, (75/25%), my offer values the total fight at twice the amount of Frank Warrens. It would also result in Joe Calzaghe receiving 6 times the amount of Sports Networks offer to Carl. Unfortunately, the proposal has already been knocked back. Within an hour of sending the offer, it was turned down by their matchmaker, said Hennessy a short while ago. The text offer to Carl was also re-iterated as a final offer, but did not mention whether they required options or not. I have again sought clarification on this. There is little point in us even discussing the offer they have made for Carl to box on a Sports Network show until we know their position for certain. Once they have stated in writing, as requested, that they do not require options, we can look at the possibility seriously. They have stated that the offer was their last, but I am confident that through ongoing dialogue we could come to an arrangement that reflects the magnitude of this fight. This contest could be one of the biggest in British Boxing history. Calzaghe already holds the record for the highest indoor attendance, but it would be blown away if he met Carl Froch. I see Jermain Taylor has turned a big offer down. There now isnt a bigger viable fight out there for Calzaghe, so Im hopeful his team will be realistic going forward. In light of their rejection, I have also asked what terms would be acceptable to Joe Calzaghe to defend against Carl on one of our shows. I am still very hopeful that this contest can happen, regardless of whose event it is on.

EU In/Out? Is a referendum the best way?

I'd always thought we were a Parliamentary Democracy, and, as such, we elect paid representatives to take difficult decisions on our behalf.
Membership of Europe is a difficult , complicated topic, and most people (including myself) would be hard pushed to appreciate all the pros and cons - so the populace will now be bombarded by media propaganda aimed at the lowest common denominator, I suspect.
Loads of 'crazy' EU stories will emerge and be fed to the Great British public, with 'good' EU stories being more difficult to show. Hence the media barons will, once again, get their way and politicians can then 'blame' us if it turns out bad.
Weak leadership I'm afraid.

The 1975 pamphlet contains "Will Parliament lose its power?". It mentions the Council of Ministers not the European Parliament. It carefully skirts around a political federation and specifically states that all Parliaments will retain their independence. It constantly mentions Market treaties. I infer from that political union was not part of the debate.

I recognise that nothing I say will convince someone whose views are deeply entrenched and based on an unwillingness to examine evidence rather than rely on prejudice.
Ok, I'll go with that, so now show me the evidence! I am open to persuasion.

I'm actually not interested in trying to persuade anyone to change their views.
What I've been trying to do is to get people to accept that political union has always been at the centre of our relationship with Europe. It is the reason we didn't join and make the original 6 become 7 as long ago as 1957 and people talked about it all the way from then until the 1975 referendum.
Saying 'we thought it was just about a common market' is like saying the reason we don't have capital punishment is because no-one ever talks about it. Or, 'Isn't it a shame there isn't a political party campaigning to end immigration?'
The only rationale I can see for continuing with the belief that unity was never mentioned is that people opposed to the EU fear they are in the minority and try and comfort themselves with the fiction that the 1975 referendum result was a fudge because there wasn't a full debate.

Does anyone really believe that Mercedes would suddenly decide to stop selling cars to the UK? or that Total would suddenly close down all of its forecourts and oil distribution. The fact is we are a valuable trading partner with the EU and we would remain so in or out.

"Does anyone really believe that Mercedes would suddenly decide to stop selling cars to the UK?"
And does anybody really believe that the import duty which would be levied on Mercedes cars would make them more available in the UK?
And does anybody really believe, to quote just one example, that Dundee's biggest employer, Michelin, would continue to operate, paying an EU import levy in order to sell tyres to Citroen/Peugeot?

White sands, turquoise blue seas, lush greenery — it is everyone's dream destination, even if some don't know it yet. And it isn't the South Pacific or the Caribbean; it is India's own Havelock Island of the Andamans.
It was late evening on April 28 when Rom received a frantic call from Havelock. A man, Jito Chadha, an Indian-American who had gone snorkelling with his girlfriend, Lauren that afternoon had returned alone with a horrific story. He said that while he was underwater, filming a moray eel at Neil's Cove, he heard Lauren scream. He looked up and saw her in the jaws of a large salt water crocodile (saltie), he said was "about 12 feet long". Jito said he grabbed the croc by the tail, hoping to rescue Lauren. When that didn't work, he tried to pry the animal's jaws open to no avail. Jito had to surface to breathe when the saltie carried the girl away by swimming along the bottom of the sea.
Crocs are known to swim away with their prey on the surface of the water, not carry them underwater. Besides, Neil's Cove is along Beach No. 7, the most popular beach in the Andamans, and nobody had ever seen a crocodile there before. The closest known population of these reptiles was across the sea at Baratang in Middle Straits, 14 km to the west. There were no mangroves in the vicinity of the incident and salties are not known to brazenly attack in open waters. The more we thought about it, the more improbable the story seemed.
Samit, who runs the resort, wanted to know if the story was plausible. Highly unlikely, replied Rom and Australian experts echoed that prognosis. Nobody in Havelock believed Jito's tale, but where was the girl? Nor was there any sign of the camera, snorkelling gear, flippers, nothing. The resort launched a massive manhunt; divers combed the area for clues.
Luckily for Jito, almost 48 hours later, they found the camera resting on the sea floor. Another stroke of luck was that just 20 seconds prior to the attack, the young man had switched on the camera's video function. As it sank to the bottom of the sea, it recorded snatches of the terrible action playing out near the surface. And it clearly showed the sequence of events that Jito had been repeating to the police and to anyone who would listen, without any alteration for the previous two days.
Soon after, a search party found both the croc and the body of the girl, about 3 km away. Beaches in Havelock were closed to the public and efforts made to trap the saltie. Over a month later, in the early hours of June 1, the four-metre-long saltie was trapped nine km from the site of the fatal attack. By the end of the day, he was moved to the Haddo Zoo in Port Blair.
But how did a saltie brave the open ocean to get to Havelock in the first place? During the 1600s, now-extinct crocs were found in the distant Seychelles and because of the islands' proximity to Africa, were thought to be Nile crocodiles. However, scientists who've examined the preserved skulls say that salties ruled the roost here, about 2,700 km away from the closest population in Sri Lanka. Over the years, they have shown up in such far flung oceanic islands as the Maldives and the Ryukyu islands of Japan while breeding populations exist on several islands of Micronesia and Melanesia in the Pacific Ocean.
Research published earlier this month shows that it is the surface currents that make salties such accomplished ocean-farers. Some are known to plan their journeys, and if the currents are unfavourable, will wait on shore until the tide changes. However, we'll never know the swim-path of the Havelock croc.
