More than half a million Apple computers have been infected with the Flashback Trojan, according to a Russian anti-virus firm.
Its report claims that about 600,000 Macs have installed the malware – potentially allowing them to be hijacked and used as a "botnet".
The firm, Dr Web, says that more than half that number are based in the US.
Apple has released a security update, but users who have not installed the patch remain exposed.
Flashback was first detected last September when anti-virus researchers flagged up software masquerading itself as a Flash Player update. Once downloaded it deactivated some of the computer's security software.
Later versions of the malware exploited weaknesses in the Java programming language to allow the code to be installed from bogus sites without the user's permission.
Dr Web said that once the Trojan was installed it sent a message to the intruder's control server with a unique ID to identify the infected machine.
"By introducing the code criminals are potentially able to control the machine," the firm's chief executive Boris Sharov told the BBC.
"We stress the word potential as we have never seen any malicious activity since we hijacked the botnet to take it out of criminals' hands. However, we know people create viruses to get money.
"The largest amounts of bots – based on the IP addresses we identified – are in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, so it appears to have targeted English-speaking people."
Dr Web also notes that 274 of the infected computers it detected appeared to be located in Cupertino, California – home to Apple's headquarters.

Alaska's Polar Bear
Attributed to
Appeared in "Foreign

circa 1999
You could go to the end of the earth (well, almost)
to find a postmaster who hand-paints his own multi coloured
cachets on covers. These paintings, reflecting a pleasant sense of humour, are done with care and usually only ten to fifteen
are done on any given day.
These covers from
Bear Post has its work cut out for it, because many of the ten thousand workers
at the construction camps would welcome the opportunity of having the letters
they send to their families and friends postmarked in the
front and back of a Polar Bear Post cover are shown here; the numeral 6088
indicates that in the six years of making these cachets, this is the quantity
sent to date. Surely a labour of love, performed for
the sheer enjoyment received from knowing that the covers are treasured by
their owners in many parts of the world.
<Remaining text from article omitted.>
[There was one other paragraph in the original
article with illustrations and an address for obtaining covers from Paul Mills,
who is now deceased; and his PBLP is no longer operational.]

Yep, you heard me right. We need to MARKET our free music. Just because
it's free doesn't mean we don't have to work to make it acceptable to
the general public. And, we've got to convince people to press those
donation buttons once (preferably twice) a day.
Right now, as Cesare pointed out in a previous post, CDs are looked at
to have enough added value to pay 20 bucks to get a booklet and liner
notes. Clearly, it's not the booklet and the liner notes. It's a ritual.
a 'CD' is kind of like a diploma... We live in a culture where people
just don't believe in themselves anymore. They need proof that an
external authority has approved this whatchmahallit and hence it is
'good' (ie they may judge it 'good' and trust a lot of people will agree)
College degrees. Course diplomas. Organic food. Plastic toy safety.
Certificates, certificates, certificates, everywhere you look. It
appears people somehow have this mysterious 'them' in their heads and
believe they must appease them. As soon as you act like an authority you
become a part of the mysterious 'them' and hence have credibility.
Sad, but true.
Of course there's a bunch of people out there with a mission to change
that... There's Serge Kahili King (http://www.huna.org) and Neale Donald
Walsch (http://www.cwg.com) to name two. They're all about 'What do YOU
think? It's about you! Start thinking!' (actually speaking of thinking
there's also Bob Proctor (http://www.bobproctor.com) but watch out the
guys a REALLY GOOD salesperson.
So these guys are all working to create a free society and that's what
we should do to... A free society is one where people actually work to
find out what suits them, what they want in life, their personal taste,
etc. In other words, freedom of mental SERFDOM.
But I do find it helpful to work with what people believe NOW in order
to lead their minds somewhere. So we should create just that... logos,
logos, logos. Brands. Marketing.
We find our short, catchy message and then repeat it til the sun goes
down. And up. And down. And up. And down.
"Downloadable music is superior to store-bought CDs"
"The OGG Vorbis file format is a sign of quality."
"Music that costs something is worthless."
"You are under a moral obligation to donate when you download music
for free and listen to it regularly."
OGG Vorbis needs a logo. "VORBIS Seal of quality." Kind of like 'Intel
Inside'. People don't exactly know what this 'Intel' is that is inside
but simply assume they need it. People don't know exactly what this
'VORBIS' is but assume it stands for freedom, love, good feelings...
I believe the best 'brand' and 'credible authority figure' we can create
is simply 'Free Music'. You get some free music and you know what to
expect, and you know what is expected from you. Like in a well-known
kingdom in the middle ages (some things never change).
So we have just created a music label that is truly free, that anyone
can participate in... That's pretty Sweet :) Now we're REALLY replacing
the middleman, not only in terms of distribution but in terms of authority!
Anyone wanna gimme a hand? What do YOU think of this long-ass post? :)

If I Were You | ||||||||
L. Ron Hubbard | ||||||||
Multicast performance, unabridged | ||||||||
Galaxy Press, 2 hours | ||||||||
A review by Gil T. Wilson
Galaxy Audio and Galaxy Press have been re-issuing the short stories from L. Ron Hubbard's writing career of the
mid-20th century. Hubbard wrote many stories spanning genres such as science fiction, fantasy, sea and air adventures,
tales from the Orient, westerns and more. In this audiobook, Galaxy Audio has put together two stories from the
fantasy genre to create an audio pulp magazine to rival all other pulps.
One of the key features of the Galaxy Audio releases is their super production quality. With original music, and subtle
yet effective sound effects, these audiobooks are like a great trip back to the days of radio dramas. The most
noticeable factor in these productions is the superb vocal talents. All the books have a general cast of very
talented voice actors that capture the larger-than-life characters that Hubbard created. However, in some of the
audiobooks, actors are featured who offer a little more.
In this production, the lead character, circus midget Little Tom Little, is portrayed by Nancy Cartwright -- yes, the
same person that voices Bart Simpson. It's pretty cool to hear her voice because you can recognize her, but as can be
expected, she can change it up enough to where she can still portray a circus midget without you having to say, "Hey,
that's Bart Simpson." At first it does grab your attention, but just like all the other voice talent in these
audiobooks, it blends in and fits perfectly with the character in the story.
This audiobook contains two stories.
"If I Were You" was originally published in the February 1940
issue of Five-Novels Monthly. It turns out to be a morality
tale asking what truly defines a person, their soul or stature? Circus attraction and king of the midgets, Little Tom
Little, is not happy with being a sideshow attraction. Tom wants to be the Ringmaster. When the mysterious Professor
calls Tom to his deathbed, Tom is amazed because the Professor never really liked him. But the Professor leaves Tom
his entire collection of magical books. He tells Tom it's because Tom had the courage to make fun of the Professor
with no fear of retaliation. Tom then goes back to his wife Maisy and tells her things are all about to
change. Within the magical tomes is a spell marked specifically for Tom that allows him to jump from body to body.
Tom immediately wants to take advantage of this newfound power and become the circus ringmaster. The problem is that
the ringmaster, Hermann Schmidt, is a corrupt person and has been skimming off the top of the profits. This leads
to Tom jumping from body to body and eventually landing in the body of the big cat tamer. Tom has always feared the
big cats and now finds himself in giant-sized danger. The fun with this story is the unexpected twists Hubbard is
able to throw in that keeps you guessing as to what will happen next.
"The Last Drop" was originally published in Astonishing Stories, November 1941, and is another story
of little becoming big or big becoming small, therefore making it an ideal companion piece to the main story. Euclid
O'Brien and Harry McCloud own a bar in New York and Euclid's brother sends him a bottle of some strange liquid which
he says goes by the name of swello.
Mac (McCloud) takes the bottle on a dare, mixes an interesting concoction, and gulps it down. Euclid warns him that
it could mean trouble. Mac says nonsense and walks out the bar with no immediate ill-effects. Soon a fly lands on
the concoction and, after feasting on the mixture, begins to grow. The fly grows to the size of a dog and the
patrons, along with Euclid, immediately think of Mac. They realize they must come up with an antidote and after
some experimentation, create a drink to reverse the growing process.
Before they can go after Mac, the local mob boss stops in for his monthly "protection" fee. Euclid is more
worried about Mac and tries to get rid of the boss. Well, the Boss drinks down the reverse formula and says that
Euclid will be sorry, as he leaves. But before he leaves they notice the Boss shrinking down. Meanwhile, Mac
grows to super-size and becomes a threat to New York City. With some humorous scenes and antics by all the
characters involved, this story is a fun one from the Golden Age of stories.

I'm procrastinating in style, my first time watching tiffany's. a couple of style highlights: holly drinking milk from a cocktail glass, simple black ballet flats with a bathrobe, huge sunglasses, keeping pink satin ballet flats in a fridge, costume jewelry, mirror, lipstick and perfume in holly's mailbox, danish and coffee for breakfast... and the final kiss scene, just because the poor cat squeezed between paul and holly looked hilarious.
anyway, I had lunch at carluccio's today and ate great spinach and ricotta ravioli, served with butter and sage, with some delicious starters before that - caprese, focaccia bread (my guilty pleasure), grissini with parma ham, the usual. it reminded me what really counts in life and it's definitely not the report on one of the investment banks that's due on monday ;)

Fair Isle gloves with southwestern flair! The main motif is a Zia symbol with "arrows" on the diagonals. The stripe motifs and palm pattern are taken from Pueblo pottery. I didn't record the exact yardage that these gloves use, but it's less than a 1/4 of a ball for all but 1 color.

Usefulness of abdominal ultrasonography in the follow-up of patients with hereditary C1-inhibitor deficiency. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19558006 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is caused by the deficiency of functional C1 inhibitor. Symptoms of this disease include cutaneous angioedema, abdominal pain, and even laryngeal edema. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the usefulness of abdominal ultrasonography in patients with hereditary C1-inhibitor deficiency in diagnosing acute abdominal edema attacks and possible adverse effects of long-term prophylaxis with attenuated androgens. METHODS: Fifty-nine adult patients with HAE regularly observed in our department were included whether they were symptomatic or not and whether they received long-term androgen prophylaxis or not. We evaluated the ultrasonographic findings in the assessments performed routinely or in the moment of an acute abdominal attack. RESULTS: Of the 59 patients, 55 ever had any symptom due to HAE (abdominal location, 78% of the symptomatic patients); 4 patients were asymptomatic. In 11 cases, ultrasonography was performed during acute attacks. Ascites and intestinal wall swelling were found in 7 of these 11 cases and, thus, diagnosis was confirmed. Of the 59 patients, 33 were or had been receiving androgen prophylaxis. Abdominal ultrasonographic assessments were performed routinely in 31 of these patients. Four cases of angiomas, 4 of steatosis, and 1 each of portal hypertension, hepatic cysts, and hepatomegaly were found. Assessments were also performed in 17 patients who did not receive androgen prophylaxis; there were no findings in any of these patients. CONCLUSION: Abdominal ultrasonography has been proved useful as an early tool for diagnosing the adverse effects of therapy and for confirming diagnosis in the case of an acute abdominal attack. |

The Albion is a great place to chill, but can be a bit too hectic at weekends - expect long queues on Sunday lunchtimes.
Great British staples - big breakfasts, bacon butties, fish & chips, sausage & mash, welsh rarebit., etc., plus great puds and wicked cakes. All in all a good place for blow-out breakfasts, Shoreditch power lunches, afternoon tea or relaxed dinner. It's a great place for a pot of tea or coffee, people watching and calorie building!
The staff are (mostly) wonderful, and fun.
June 04, 2009
The recently opened rooftop bar is the icing on this already spectacular mega-plex. At 80 odd Sir Terence Conran is adept as ever as showing London how its done - far from his old stomping ground in the West its another reminder that the baromoter of London style is now well and truly in the East End. Unlike nearby Shoreditch House or the East Room it's open to all. Still wonderful is the ground floor posh caff (at not too posh prices), the french restaurant Boundary in the basement is also excellent, although a good deal more expensive. Nothing to complain about really.
March 18, 2009
Albion is a three-in-one affair; part caff, part bakery and part small shop selling fresh, quality British food and drink. Brought to you by restaurant empressario himself, Sir Terence Conran, it's part of the larger Boundary project which already includes the swanky Boundary Restaurant and soon to be topped off with a hotel above.
Interior is all white tiles with communal and individual tables, an open kitchen while still managing to stay welcoming and familiar. Big doors down one side which no doubt will be wide open in summer on to a quite cobbled street - perfect for that photo shoot Saturday morning latte moment. We went in the evening in March so the doors were closed tight and inside was not so busy. Staff were great - really friendly, jokey and helpful. It's a caff after all so you don't expect service to be as starchy as the napkins you'd get at the Dorchester. Food is simple, not expensive and oh so tasty - pies, sandwiches, fry-ups, kedgeree, with crumble and other puddings to follow - not forgetting the now staple of any cool caf worth it's ketchup - the fairy cake!
With free wi-fi thrown in - I can quite see how one latte might turn to two and the slow death by bacon sarnie and fairy cake! But don't dispair you could always work it off by blagging your way in to shoreditch house next door for some laps in the roof top pool.

The exhibits at Engineering Discovery Days (EDD) inspire and motivate future engineers by engaging them in hands-on activities. This is your chance to show the community what engineers do and what engineering students are learning. Exhibitor registration opens in January.
Department Exhibits
Department exhibits can be located in the EDD common area or in your department building or lab.
- EDD common area. This years common areas are Rainier Vista, Drumheller Fountain, and the grassy area between MEB and More Hall. Power, tents, chairs, and tables are provided. To reserve a space in one of these areas, register by March 14, 2015.
- Engineering building or surrounding area. If you choose to reserve your own space, you must also make all arrangements, i.e., providing chairs, tables, tents, and power. To reserve your own space outside of a building (grassy area, etc.)
- Contact your building coordinator to get permission.
- Contact Roberta Bustamante, 206-221-7819 with the approval of the use of that space.
- Register by April 7, 2015 to reserve your own exhibit space.
The registration form asks you to provide information about the exhibit:
- Contact information.
- Title and short description.
- Type of exhibit (hands-on, demo, tour, poster or video).
- If in the common area, requirements for electricity, number of tables, etc.
- If in another location, details such as indoor/outdoor, building name and room number.
- Additional details about exhibit days, volunteers, and participation in the Treasure Hunt.
Planning an Engaging Exhibit
The following resources will help you design an interesting and engaging exhibit:
Exhibit design | Engaging students | Deadlines | Safety | Contacts
Designing an Exhibit
Your exhibit could be a demonstration of an experiment, a workshop to teach elementary, middle or high school students how to conduct their own experiment, a fun activity that teaches principles of engineering through hands-on participation, or a poster representing research you've done.
All exhibitors are required to register to be included in the Discovery Days program.
Tips for Engaging Students in Grades 4-12
Engineering Discovery Days appeals to students of all ages because of the interactive engineering-related exhibits. Successful exhibitors cite their ideas below for creating hands-on, interactive exhibits for students in grades 4-12.
Good hands-on activities have:
- Student Interaction
The student handles the exhibit, tries several solutions, and creates their own understanding about it. It throws light on an idea. - A clear and detectable idea easily relatable to the "big picture."
- Visual appeal through color, symbols, etc. to draw in students grades 4-8 and 9-12.
- An interactive element.
- A problem to solve.
Also consider:
- Is the exhibit interesting?
- Can it withstand repeated handling by visitors?
- Is it easy to repair?
- Is it cost effective?
- Can it be displayed in an attractive way?
- Will this be an easy hands-on activity for students 4-8 and 9-12?
- Will the student's body and mind get involved with this exhibit?
- Does it convey the idea or concept?
- Does it have aesthetic appeal?
Key Deadlines
Register by March 14 to use a common area (Drumheller Fountain, Rainier Vista).
Register by April 7 to reserve your own exhibit space (classroom, lab, space in front of departmental building).
Accidents and incidents may happen during this very large event. Be prepared and know what to do in case something does occur:
- In case of an emergency, dial 911.
- For minor incidents, EMTs are located in Loew Hall 301. If you are unable to bring the injured person to Loew Hall, call 3-1770 for the EMTs to come to you.
- Escort lost children to the Loew Hall welcome booth located right outside of Loew Hall.
- For UW personnel injuries, visit Incident Reports for incident reporting instructions.

Latin America
In 2013 Latin American authors once again revealed their interest in politics and history. Argentine writer Alan Pauls published Historia del dinero, a novel written in a hypnotic and labyrinthine prose. Its topic was the influence of money in both personal and public life. The main character's mother, father, and new stepfather are all obsessed with money. His father gambles, and his rich mother squanders her money. Their lives are set against the backdrop of a country threatened by guerrillas and extortive kidnappings as well as by less-sinister but equally damaging public debt.
Honduran Horacio Castellanos Moya published El sueño del retorno. In contrast to Moya's previous novels, whose characters were driven by cruelty and violence, his latest work allowed his characters some humour and humanity. Prior to returning home to El Salvador, the protagonist undergoes hypnosis, hoping to get relief from pain that may be at least partly psychosomatic. The treatment instead sets off a cascade of painful memories, and he is alternatively hopeful and apprehensive as he boards the plane that will take him back home. Nombre de perro (2012) by Mexican Élmer Mendoza resumed the saga of Zurdo Mendieta, a detective who in an earlier novel investigated drug trafficking and got caught in its web. In the plot of his latest novel, the lesbian boss of the Pacífico cartel asks for Mendieta's help in solving her lover's murder. Mendoza alludes to La reina del Sur (2002), a novel by Spaniard Arturo Pérez-Reverte in which Mendoza's character Mendieta has a fleeting appearance. In this and other ways, Nombre de perro seemed a puzzle to be decoded. Dialogues, characters, and scenarios were intermingled, and the reader had to consciously figure out what the author intended. The liberal use of street language and the argot of the underworld sometimes provided another roadblock. Another Mexican writer, Paris-born octogenarian Elena Poniatowska, took the Cervantes Prize in 2013.
The Rómulo Gallegos Prize for 2013 was awarded to the novel Simone by Puerto Rican writer Eduardo Lalo. It was published for the first time in Buenos Aires in 2011 without much fuss, but after winning the award, it was reissued. The novel was noteworthy for its postmodern structure: brief essays on aspects of politics, literature, and the city of San Juan interrupted the narrative arc. The protagonist's long walks in the capital city are punctuated by mysterious messages that ultimately lead to romance.
The novel Las reputaciones by Colombian author Juan Gabriel Vázquez concerned the caricaturist Javier Mallarino, a figure loosely based on Colombian caricaturist Ricardo Rendon (1894–1931). In the novel Mallarino's drawings appear daily in the newspaper, and they have the power to advance or destroy political careers. The novel pondered history and the burden of the past, violence, the deformations of memory, and the construction of reality.
Peruvian Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa located his novel El héroe discreto in contemporary Peru, returning to characters and places from his previous work. In this story Vargas Llosa showed progress to be both beneficial and harmful. His two main characters were businessmen who operated in two of the author's familiar settings, Piura and Lima. In the best moments of the novel, the moral overtones were mitigated by humour and irony.
In his novel Herejes, Cuban Leonardo Padura returned to an earlier creation, the character Mario Conde, a former policeman and investigator. The story focused on the persecution of Jews in Holland in the 17th century and in Europe and Cuba in the 20th century. A lost painting attributed to Rembrandt, originally owned by a Jewish family, ends up in a London auction house in 2007. A descendant of the family—knowing that the painting had been in Cuba in the 1930s when the ship carrying his family and many other Jews to Havana was turned away—asks Conde to investigate. Herejes was a historical novel with elements of a thriller as well as an analysis of contemporary Cuba.
In his recent novel El camino de Ida (which can be translated as "Ida's Journey" or "One-Way Trip"), noted Argentine author Ricardo Piglia wrote a thriller with autobiographical and sociological elements. A character named Emilio Renzi, who seemed to be the author's alter ego, reappears in this novel as a visiting professor at an American university. Renzi examines his experiences as a professor and his love affair with a colleague who dies under suspicious circumstances. A long investigation leads Renzi to the conclusion that Ida had a connection to Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, and may have cooperated with him. The novel was an X-ray of the American university subculture.
The 2012 Premio Tusquets was awarded to Las poseídas by Argentine Betina González. This ambitious novel presented the stories of adolescent girls in a Roman Catholic school. The protagonist told of her daily life at the school and her sexual awakening. She analyzed several big issues: metaphysical anguish, the loss of innocence, the discovery of evil and madness, and the awareness of social differences.
In 2013 the influential cultural supplement of the daily newspaper Público celebrated the short lyrical novel Ara by poet and scholar Ana Luísa Amaral as the first work of lesbian fiction by a major Portuguese writer. Journalist São José Almeida labeled the novel an "act of courage" and connected it to Os sinais do medo (2003) by Ana Zanatti, the first novel credited with beginning to undo the "lesbophobic silence that has permeated the Portuguese novel." Literary critic Raquel Ribeiro, who published her own first novel (Este samba no escuro) in 2013, also saluted Amaral's narrative.
In May the Camões Prize, the most important literary award of the Portuguese-speaking world, was given to the Mozambican writer Mia Couto, who was born in 1955 to Portuguese parents in Beira, Mozam. Couto—who was widely known, praised, and studied in Brazil and Portugal, as well as outside the Lusophone world—also received the 2014 Neustadt International Prize for Literature. A comprehensive study of his oeuvre was Phillip Rothwell's A Postmodern Nationalist: Truth, Orality, and Gender in the Work of Mia Couto (2004). Couto's masterpiece was the novel Terra sonâmbula (1992; Sleepwalking Land), considered by a committee of the Zimbabwe International Book Fair to be one of the 12 best African books of the 20th century. Couto's latest novel, A confissão da leoa (2012), was based on the true story of a village in northern Mozambique being attacked by man-eating lions. In other news of Lusophone African literatures, the Angolan author Ondjaki (pen name of Ndalu de Almeida) won the 2013 José Saramago Prize for his novel Os transparentes (2012), about contemporary daily life in the city of Luanda.
In late November the Association of Portuguese Writers awarded its top prize to journalist Alexandra Lucas Coelho for her novel E a noite roda (2012). In 2013 Coelho published Vai, Brasil, another in a series of reflections on countries in which she had lived and worked. She had previously published Oriente próximo (2007), Caderno afegão (2009), Viva México (2010), and Tahrir (2011). The other finalists for the prize won by Coelho were Mário de Carvalho, with O varandim seguido de ocaso em Carvangel), Jaime Rocha (A rapariga sem carne), Patrícia Portela (O banquete), and the relative newcomer Afonso Cruz (Jesus Cristo bebia cerveja), whose books were also published in 2012.
The year 2013 was also fruitful for poetry. The influential and reclusive Herberto Helder published the acclaimed Servidões. Other outstanding new collections included those by Manuel de Freitas (Pontas do mar), Luís Quintais (Depois da música), and Rocha (O vulcão, o dorso branco). Romanian-born Golgona Anghel was critically praised for her iconoclastic Como uma flor de plástico na montra de um talho.

Marriages for Grooms' Surnames beginning with "O"William L. O'Brien - Corinne Ferneding Dayton Daily News - April 29, 1913, Page 5 Tuesday morning at 6:30 o'clock, Miss Corinne Ferneding, of 231 North St. Clair street, this city, and William L. O'Brien of Springfield, were united in marriage by the Rev. Father Charles Hickey at Sacred Heart Church. Joseph Murphy sang preceding the service while the organist continued in a program of happily selected numbers. The bride wore a blue traveling suit with hat to correspond and she carried a prayer book. Her sister, Miss Kathleen Ferneding, was her only attendant and she wore a tan cloth tailored suit. Harry O'Brien, brother of the groom, was his best man. A wedding breakfast was served to the immediate family and the bridal party at the Phillips house, and later the bridal pair left for a honeymoon trip. They will make their home on North St. Clair street. The bride is a graduate of Notre Dame academy and her marriage to Mr. O'Brien is of interest not only to Dayton, but Springfield friends as well. The groom has been making his home in this city, being connected with the Delco labratories [sic]. A number of Springfield friends of the groom came over to the wedding. James O'Gara - Sarah Smith Dayton Daily Journal - January 1, 1904, Page 5 A pretty wedding, Wednesday morning, was celebrated at the home of the bride on Fairground avenue. The marriage ceremony was celebrated at Sacred Heart church at 7 o'clock, when Father Flynn conducted the nuptial mass, uniting in marriage Miss Sarah Smith and James O'Gara. The bride was attended by Miss Lena Hetzel and the best man was Charles Smith. The bride wore a lovely own of white swiss, trimmed with lace, and her bridal veil was held by a cluster of white roses. She carried a bouquet of roses. The bridesmaid wore a pretty white dress, with tucking and insertion, and she wore a large hat. After the church ceremony, a wedding reception was held at the home of the bride, on Fairground avenue, and after the wedding breakfast relatives and friends were assembled to extend happy wishes and congratulations. Russel M. Oliver - Sarah E. Brunner Dayton Journal - August 31, 1905, Page 5
One of the pretting
The pretty home had been converted into a bower of beauty by loving hands, and formed an attractive setting for the impressive service, which occurred at 5 o'clock, in the presence of relatives and a few invited guests, the ceremony being conducted by Rev. H. H. Fout. Pink and white were the characteristic colors used in the decoration, the color scheme being artistically carried out with quantities of China asters.
Miss Brunner is a sweet attractive girl, and her friends are legion, as was attested by the number of handsome gifts received. Miss Brunner has won many friends, not only because of her attractive personality, but owing to the possession of a sweet sympathetic voice, which has been well cultivated and has been generously used at many social and church affairs, much to the pleasure of her admiring friends.
Mr. Oliver is a rising young business man, in all respects worthy of his accomplished and lovely bride. Miss Brunner appeared more than usually attractive in her bridal gown of white hand embroidered Irish linen, combined with lace. After the ceremony a reception followed and the fair bride delighted all by singing several songs appropriate to the joyous occasion, among them being, "Ever True," and "The Vow," both of which were sung with much tenderness and feeling. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver later conducted the guests into the handsomely decorated dining room, where a delicious wedding supper was served, the table being a picture of beauty, decorated in ferns and China asters.
Seated at the bride's table were: Mr. and Mrs. Russel Oliver, Mr. and Mrs. John Oliver of Blanchester, Mr. Henry Oliver, Mrs. Sarah Brunner, Mr. and Mrs. W. Z. Schooley, Mr. Herschel Schooley, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Feight, and Mr. Horace Feight.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver left on an extended bridal trip through Colorado, and will visit before their return, all points of interest in that picturesque region. The bride's going away gown was blue broadcloth, tailor-made, with hat to match. Upon their return a month hence, they will reside with the bride's mother on South Findlay street.
Yesterday morning at St. John's Catholic church Father Boniface Luebberman celebrated the nuptial high mass at which Miss Mary Magdalin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Krug, of West River street, became the bride of Mr. Andrew Albert Osterday, of this city.
It was a green and white wedding, palms, fern, smilax and white chrysanthemums being used with artistic effect both in the church and home of the bride's parents, where the wedding breakfast was served.
Miss Krug's gown was of mode voile over silk, with picture hat, and she was attended by her sister, Miss Anna Krug, whose gown was also of mode of a darker shade, with hat to match. She carried the bride's bouquet of white roses. Mr. Walter Osterday, brother of the groom, acted as best man.
At the bride's table were seated the bridal party with the parents of the bride and groom and officiating priest.
A reception was held last evening at the Krug home, from 4 to 10 o'clock, during which many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Osterday extended their good wishes.

Elaborate arrangements made by the police to ensure orderly celebration
The 254 birth anniversary of Veerapandiya Kattabomman, one of the first freedom fighters in India to oppose the British, was celebrated with fervour here on Thursday.
Leaders from various parties like the Congress, AIADMK, MDMK and CPI (M) honoured the historical warrior by garlanding his statue near Periyar bus stand. A large number of youth were seen paying an emotional homage to the leader's statue, whereas women who visited the statue to garland the leader performed rituals like 'milk abishekam.' A few women were seen hugging the statue and wailing over the death of Kattabomman.
Members from "Pazhantamilar Makkal Katchi" staged a demonstration in front of the statue seeking to declare the birth anniversary of Kattabomman a government holiday. G. Venkatachalam, south zone coordinator of the party, and T. Murugan, district secretary, along with at least 50 members, raised slogans against the State government.
The youth wanted the government to install a statue of Kattabomman in Chennai.
R. Annadurai, Madurai South MLA; R. Sundararajan, Madurai Central MLA; Virudhunagar MP Manicka Tagore of the Congress; former Madurai MP A.G.S. Rambabu; A. Deivanayagam, president of Madurai Urban District Congress Committee; K. Boominathan, urban district secretary of MDMK, and Vilavancode MLA S. Vijayadharani were among those who garlanded the statue.
Elaborate arrangements were made by the police to ensure orderly celebration. Kattabomman, a legendary chieftain from Panchalakurichi, fought against the British by refusing to pay tax. He was hanged to death by the British in 1799 at Kayathar in Tuticorin district and now a memorial stands at the place where Kattabomman died.

APRON PATTERN AND TUTORIAL from www.5berriessewingpatterns.com When I was working on an Apron Pattern for 5Berries, I realized how fun it would be to be able to give my customers a pattern for a mother-daughter apron. What is more exciting than baking cupcakes with our favorite little helpers?The reversible apron is so easy to sew and would be a great project for a beginner. Most pattern pieces are basic rectangles that you measure and cut yourself. Since all the seams are hidden, you don't need a serger. It's extra versatile and durable because it's reversible too. Make one side for cupcakes and one side for cookies, depending on your mood!Child Apron is available in two sizes: Small & LargeYou can find more great patterns from 5Berries here: www.5berriessewingpatterns.com
5Berries Patterns
Muchsimas gracias por este bello regalo. Aprecio que halla atendido mi solicitud. Cordial saludo.
Love it!
I cant find the pattern anywhere .......anyone able to help?
I am also having the same problem - can't find the pattern anywhere!!
Having the same problem in that I can't find the pattern even though I have followed the instructions many times!!
I am unable to find the pattern on the blog... has anyone had any luck finding it and can you help me?
Maybe I'm not seeing it, but what size do I cut the chest pieces?
I went to 5Berries,but couldn`t find the pattern.
This apron pattern is too cute! Bright vintage cherry fabric is beggin to be this apron! Thank you!
I love this. By the end of the summer I hope to have a real country kitchen to cook in, complete with stone lintel over the fireplace. I can just see me wearing a frilly pinny while I bake, bottle and make jam. Lovely pattern. Thank you.
This is really cute and I want to make it. However, I'm concerned about the ties. They don't look very long, are they long enough to tie in bows at neck and waist?
It looks to me as though the apron itself wraps quite a way round at the waist. It's also a simple matter to lengthen the ties or even shorten them. Just add or subtract cms when you cut them out. I would imagine it depends on your own waist measurement. Personally I'll either shorten the neck ties and add a button or press stud or shorten them and make a central seam so I have a loop to put over my head instead on ties. I hate bulk at the back of my neck.
Or if they are short, you could use velcro on the ends to make for quick on and off.
Thank you both! Great ideas!
Cute, very nice idea
hi, so cute....i like it

Treatments That Work With Children: Empirically Supported Strategies for Managing Childhood Problems
This edition is no longer for sale. However, the Second Edition is available.
Parents frequently consult both psychologists and pediatricians about a variety of childhood problems, ranging from sleep disorders to anxiety. But today there are so many theories about which therapies work best that it is hard for practitioners to make informed choices. In this book, psychologists Edward R. Christophersen and Susan L. Mortweet—both seasoned clinicians—help the reader assess available treatments that have documented records of success. In many cases, treatment manuals exist to guide clinicians in implementing these approaches.
Eight comprehensive and engaging chapters cover the common problems of disruptive behavior, anxiety, sleep disorders, nocturnal enuresis, encopresis, habit disorders (such as tics and thumbsucking), the treatment of pain and, finally, helping children comply with medical regimens.
Designed for the busy practitioner, the book describes diagnosis and treatment, with an emphasis on practicality. Summaries and handouts make the material useful for training purposes as well as daily office use. Although written for psychologists and mental health professionals, this book will also be useful to pediatricians who want the latest information on behavioral treatments that really work.

Subject: | [TowerTalk] Trimming F12 240/340N elements |
From: | "James C. Hall, MD" <firstname.lastname@example.com> |
Date: | Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:41:36 -0500 |
List-post: | <firstname.lastname@example.com">mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> |
Hello TT: Does anyone here have experience with trimming the element lengths of the driver and/or director of the F12 240/340N ? I have the 3 element version and each element starts out the same length as the reflector with tips of 38.5". With coax and balun attached, I am to raise each element as a dipole and trim the driver and director to the correct frequency. I first started with the reflector to verify that the frequency of 6.90 MHz was correct. After mounting on a push up mast and raising to a height of 20 feet or so, my meter indicates a dip in SWR at 7.017 MHz - 117 kHz higher than expected. It would seem that the reflector is about 6" too short on each end. The instruction manual states that the element will shift upward in frequency about 15 kHz between 15' and 30'. Below this height there is too much ground coupling. I see the indicated 6.90 MHz at only 7' above ground. Again does anyone have information on this process ? 73, Jamie WB4YDL E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (184.108.40.2067) Database version: 6.13500 http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor-antivirus/ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |

Free Flight - The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
Free Flight
To access free flight, jump and do an ice tail attack, (triange) then switch to Dark Spyro (L3), jump and press triangle, then again, and again, press it as many times as you like to go as far as you like. You have to jump and do an Ice Tail if you use a regular Spyro attack. Like, if you use fire after using flight, then you have to jump and do an Ice Tail again or else free flight won't work. Jump + Ice Tail + Dark Spyro + Triangle. Good luck!! :D

I have a Rowenta iron that I bought maybe a couple of years ago. I liked it - alot. Now, it's starting to act all wonky on me. It takes forever to heat up. And the automatic shut off system works before the allotted time. It's irritating! Before this iron, I had a Black & Decker. That lasted me 2 years. One day out of the blue, it just didn't heat up anymore. Is this what it has come to? That I need to buy a new iron every couple of years. Has anybody else had this problem? Now what iron should I buy? Any advice? Thank you!
I would stick with Rowenta. I use distilled water in mine and it is now several years old and still works like new. Knock on wood!

I too have a Rowenta. It's got to be about 10 years old by now...no issues. Sorry yours is acting up. I think every brand out there has people that rave about it and others who have had nothing but trouble with it. If you need to get a new one don't choose by brand...just get the one with the features you like and need.
------Stash: 175.875 yds. @ 04.15.15
Rowenta has outsourced the manufacture of some of their irons. I had on that lasted a year before (as you said) starting to turn itself off. Mine also leaked water out the base. I would not buy another (I have a reliable brand and like it now)
I've had a Hamilton Beach Retro iron for several years--about five? It doesn't act up, the auto shut off goes off after about an hour (not every 10 minutes), the balance is nice, and I've not had problems with it spitting, even though I put regular water in it.

Shipping container homes go 'mini'
'Tis the season for gingerbread houses, miniature Christmas villages, dollhouses topped with bows ... and tiny shipping container homes?
Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 04:02 PM
It's a definite sign of the times when instead of bestowing your little princess with Malibu Barbie's Dream House or a battery-operated hamster habitat for Christmas, you can present her with a miniature shipping container home replete with baltic birch flooring, sliding panel doors, and tasteful, doll-sized modern furniture that's decidedly Design Within Reach meets Fisher Price. The only thing missing is a mini solar array.
Although I've written about both eco-friendly dollhouses and the green building practice of transforming derelict shipping containers into beautiful modular homes in the past, M112 Pod Miniatures from Paris Renfroe Design are something totally new, and well, a bit unexpected.
St. Paul, Minneapolis-based "industrial modernist" Paris Renfroe is established at designing life-size modern furnishings but his foray into doll-house scale shipping container homes is a relatively new one. Each M112 Pod Miniature home is 20 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 8.5 inches high. They're available (for $175) in an array of colors including White, Orange, Gray, Apple Green, and Sky Blue or for a bit extra ($250) you can order a M112 Pod home in natural rust.
As mentioned, each home is outfitted with baltic birch floors, ceilings, and walls; sliding panel doors; a frosted window wall; a metal rung ladder for roof access; and port holes in the ceiling and floor for stacking. Renfroe's 1:12 and 1:1 scale furnishings — his own designs plus iconic pieces from Minotti and other designers — are available separately.
Pretty impressive, I must say, and an interesting way to get your kids hooked on both modern design and the possibilities of green building at an early age. What do you think? Would an architecturally advance dollhouse like the M112 Pod fly in your home? Or would you rather just stick to traditional, humdrum plastic dollhouses?
