Ivy Leaf extract is a traditional ingredient that has been used for centuries to naturally support optimal lung and bronchial passageway health. Unlike alcohol-based syrups, the natural ingredients in Ivy Calm provide greater levels of safety. This formula was developed in accordance with the safety and efficacy standards set forth by the German Commission E, which is the worldwide recognized authority for effective herbal remedies.
Ivy leaf also has a long history of use in asthma. Its mechanism based on recent clinical research is through its ability to reduce bronchial spasm and improve respiratory secretions. Several double-blind studies in humans have shown that ivy extract improves lung function and reduces asthma attacks.

Comments about Integrative Therapeutics Ivy Calm:
I have a part Himalayan female that is 12 yrs old and has had asthma since she was 2. We have done shots that last a few weeks , antibiotics inhalers and changed to grain free no additive food....she had very short periods of relief but always was coughing and wheezing. The dosing on the box is for humans, so I use 0.20 cc measured in an insulin syringe and I put it on her wet food. She licks it up and has been asthma free from day 3 - she is a love bug now!

I tired it but not worth the time.
By pusssy cat mom

As my other choice was unavailable I thought I would try this product to aid my cat's cough. Sadly, it did not work well for us. I believe there are better choices. I ordered the Newton item which worked better but never was informed they were out of stock. It can be quite distressing hearing your cat cough and this did not help at all.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Seems to be Working
By Debbie'scathouse
from Baltimore, MD
I purchased this again with the hopes of helping my cat Barney with his asthma. I had tried the NEC capsules previously but even mixing with food at times he just would not eat it, i guess the stuff is like they say, bitter tasting....I also purchased in this round the Ivy Calm. I have given Barney half the recommended dosage one to twice a day along with his antihistamine tablet from the vet. I can't say for sure if this is helping but so far he hasn't had too many attacks. I've also upped the temperature in my home as well as purchased a humidifier which i think along with the Ivy Calm is making a difference. I'm still trying to get the NEC capsules into his food which he doesn't always want to eat. I've also given the Ivy Calm to my other cat, Maxine, who has heart problems. Since she seems to wheeze alot when breathing I thought this might help, also giving her half the recommended dosage. She seems not to be wheezing as much.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really Works
By Cat Lover
from Chicago, IL
I have a cat who has chronic breathing issues, in fact she was diagnosed with asthma, and she was always "snorting" and sneezing. Since I've started giving this to her, her asthma attacks have ceased to almost nil and she's breathing just as well as her "big sister". I give this to her 2x a day and it does the trick! There's no side effects and she gladly takes it -- I think she knows it's helping her and I think it tastes ok for her too. I highly recommend it!
works well

my doggie is very very old and has a bad cough . . . he eats anything and everything so feeding him this liquid is easy, however, if you have a particular pet you WILL have some difficultly - I suggest the NAC capsules for particular pets.

Ivy Calm helped my cat stop coughing
By Normycat
from Hackettstown, NJ
My cat has been sick with an URI since we brought her home from the shelter in 12/08. She had been through several courses of antibiotics and a few steroid shots, but still continued to show major congestion and coughing. The vet thinks the coughing could be asthma and herpes related, so we've been using this for quick relief until we get her started on an inhaler. It stops her choking/coughing within minutes. I have also started using it as well for my cold and asthma-related coughs, since it worked so well for her.
Ivy Calm did not work for my cat.

I would buy this product again
By Kyet
from Chino, CA
I use this product with my 9 year old part Siamese who has asthma. He seems to like the taste (a lot better than the Prednisone that the vet prescribed) and it seems to work much better. With the change in the weather I have to give him a little more, but it seems to help him breathe easier.

Hotel news, opinions and updates from the team at The Sukhothai.
An old friend of mine recommended strongly that I try out an upscale street restaurant called Jay Fai in the old part of Bangkok, at 327 Mahachai Rd. This turned out to be a great journey for a gastronome like me. The cooking is done on an open live charcoal-fired wok by the lady chef owner and is truly a one man show.
The Chinese-inspired Thai pan-fried noodle in thick gravy with seafood is a real treat. The crab omelet is a must try dish. The chef uses the deep-fry technique "Zha"... Read more

Cape mountain zebra were never very numerous to begin with, but back in 1950, their numbers had nosedived to a precarious 91. Intense conservation efforts began to reverse the decline, gradually raising their numbers to more than 400 by 1984 and to 1,200 today.
East Africa's priceless rangelands for years have struggled against degradation caused by overgrazing and soil-depleting crop farming. Now ecologists are coming to grips with a third villain: the leleshwa weed, a fast-growing, tough-to-control shrub that is overtaking large sections of grassland.
Six countries in Africa have established the world's first international task force to combat poaching and other wildlife crimes.
The Republic of Congo, Kenya, Lesotho, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia agreed in March to empower the "African Interpol," as many call the task force, to help stop illegal trade in wildlife, the United Nations Environment Program announced recently.
After a month of mourning for the eight tourists and the park warden killed by Rwandan rebels in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, authorities reopened the Ugandan park to visitors Apr. 1.
The Uganda Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry (MTTI) declared the area safe after security measures were improved. A spokesman also said the government is committed to conserving the rare mountain gorillas that inhabit Bwindi.
Armed guards protected the 12 foreigners, including three Americans, who were the first tourists to visit Bwindi since the Mar. 1 attack by Rwandan rebels.
Sometimes it takes a big, strong father-figure to get an unruly teenage male to shape up.
And that's not just in humans. Take the situation in South Africa's Pilanesberg National Park, where the matriarchal elephants a few years ago welcomed and nurtured the very young male orphans relocated from Kruger National Park.
But once the orphans became teenagers, the female group spurned them. Like unconstrained adolescents of many species, the males, their hormones ablaze, became seriously aggressive, even killing some rhinos.

Cut Your Interior Remodeling Cost with House Staging
Once you've got potential buyers inside your home, you want to show them a clean, clutter-free, and well-functioning space. Start out clearing as much of your personal items from walls, shelves, and countertops as you can so that you can give your prospective buyers plenty of room to imagine their own possessions in your house. Real estate agents call this "home staging." Then, do a walk-through of each room and make a list of look everything that's broken, not working, or needs updating. You want to make sure all the light switches, faucets, and drains work properly before you show your house. Also pay attention to tile walls and floors to see if they need any repairs or re-grouting. Paint the walls in rooms or hallways where the paint is old, discolored, or dirty. Change out your old, water-spotted or dirty shower curtains for new ones. Hire a professional carpet cleaning service if your regular vacuum isn't cutting it. Make sure your kitchen drawers and house doors open and close without squeaking or becoming unhinged. If ever there was a time to be a perfectionist, this is it. Go through your home with a magnifying glass and find all the little annoyances that you've managed to put up with - and fix them. New owners don't want to have to learn how to jiggle the office door just right so that they can get in and out of their workspace. You will increase the number of potential buyers if they walk into a freshly painted, clean and airy home with everything inside of it in working condition.

General description of current (2.x) resolution
(this is a super-simplified description that focuses on background relevant to the specific problem being analyzed)
Today Maven roughly follows the current recursive process to resolve dependencies:
Read and interpolate the current pom (or current dependency). Then pull out the list of dependencies and repositories from the pom. The repositories found are added to the existing list which comes from the superpom (central) and any in the settings.xml and any pulled from previous poms during this maven execution. These repositories are then used to resolve the next level of dependencies. Repeat.
If the artifact being resolved is a plugin, then only "pluginRepositories" are considered for resolution. Repositories and Plugin Repositories are filtered based on the declared snapshot/release flags and if the current artifact being located is a snapshot or release.
Benefits of the current approach
- If dependencies of your build aren't contained in central, you can add a repository entry to your pom and Maven will find them. The practical benefit of this is two-fold
- that someone with a normal maven install can checkout and build your code without knowing where your snapshots are, or where any of your dependencies might be located ahead of time. It just works.
- that someone _depending_ on your artifacts doesn't have to know where your downstream dependencies are. (Note: this may be a bad thing in some cases because of the repository pollution and non-deterministic resolution based on repos declared elsewhere)
Problems with current approach
- Having repositories in the poms is usually bad. Released poms are immutable, but urls change over time. This eventually leads to poms that point to incorrect urls and dependencies can't be located automatically.
- The repositories introduced by dependencies and transitive dependencies "pollute" the build. That is because once they get added to the list of repos, it stays their for the remainder of the build. Maven doesn't know which dependencies the pom author intended to introduce via the repository declaration. A very concrete problem is that there is no guarantee that a given artifact present in two different repositories are not the same. People take Apache artifacts and modify them so that if a different repository was used in a subsequent calculation you might get something different. Even with OSGi where a bundle can theoretically be sourced from any repository the behavior of that bundle is not guaranteed to be the same. So people want to know the set of artifacts they retrieved from a given set of repositories is more or less immutable. So here again you need a central authority to provide signatures if you want to absolutely guarantee this characteristic. We know from practice people change things all the time and it has dire effects on users.
- The current implementation of pluginRepositories is troublesome and doesn't do what it intended. Currently the dependencies of a plugin are resolved via the regular repositories (since they themselves aren't a plugin). This has the practical effect that for every pluginRepo you introduce you must also introduce it as a repo. The valid use case that this attempted to solve is being able to separate the dependencies needed by the build from those needed for the build. You will often want different policies on things that are used by Maven plugins than you would for things allowed into your build. (think GPL artifacts)
- The nature of walking the tree and discovering repositories as you go makes it difficult to do a bounded SAT range calculation. Each decision may introduce yet more repositories that may have affected the previous calculations. It's not that this is not solvable it just takes too much time to be practical by a system like Maven. If you had to wait the length of time it takes P2 to figure itself out that would be unacceptable in standard Maven CLI use.
Requirements of a final 3.x solution
- maintain the ability for a user to checkout your code and run mvn install and have it work with no prior setup on their part.
- be able to depend on some jar and not worry about any repositories required for transitive resolution (ie discover the repositories transitively as dependencies are processed) (this is controversial and may be eliminated. First it contributes to the Problem #4 above in that SAT can't be done on a bounded list of repositories. It also doesn't work normally behind a repository manager because the list of repos is usually controlled in the repo manager and thus autodiscovery is intentionally blocked, usually via a mirrorOf * to circumvent the repos maven finds in the poms.)
- be able to separate the dependencies needed by maven plugins from those needed by the build. This means not only where they are resolved from, but also how they are stored locally to prevent cross-contamination.
- Repository identification: at this point we are pretty much in agreement that the URL should be the unique identifier for a repository. People who care about what they are publishing either need to use canonical repositories like Maven central or need to guarantee the existence of the repositories or have decent pointers. In a fully distributed system the relocation mechanism we have does not work in a fully distributed system without a master to manage relocations.
Proposed Solution Details
To be determined and populated AFTER the benefits / drawbacks and specifically requirements are gathered.
7 Comments
Another related issue is the identication of repositories. There is no standard for ids and maven doesn't compare urls, which leads to have the same repository several times in the list but with different ids.
I agree with Arnaud. There is no URL to Id mapping which is what causes everyone to create a new Id. While URLs change slowly over time they change much less slowly than the Ids.
The mirrorOf element would still be useful in this case. For those repos that have moved you can configure a mirror for the incorrect URL to point to the correct URL.
Problem #4 of the current approach for bounded SAT calculation: Isn't this theoretically unbound but in practice is bounded? i.e there is only ever going to be a limited number of repositories defined?
Problem #2 - can you explain why "polluting" the build is bad? What problems are caused when repositories are introduced that the pom author did not intend.
If artifact versions are defined then it should not matter if the artifact is retrieved from repo A or repo B - as long as it is the same artifact.
Arnaud, Bae, I addressed the unique repository API in 4) for the requirements of a Maven 3.x system. Bae, I addressed answers to your questions in #2 and #4 above. If these are sufficient I will remove the comments. I am going to try and merge comments from the Wiki and mailing list into the proposal so people don't have to walk over 50 comments to see what's been processed or not. Please let me know. I want to keep the noise out of the proposal as much as possible.
Fair enough. Comments may be cleaned up.
For 4) I'm still not convinced that the bounds are very large. This may be a symptom of the fact that people don't use their own repos that much.
e.g my work has 12 external repos defined in its repo manager. A couple of them are snapshots.
Doesn't this just mean for the initial check it will need to go and locate these 12 repos (maybe recursively) and after finding no more repos do the SAT calculation?
Then on subsequent invocations no more repos are added so there is no penalty.
With something like a nexus index available on each repo this reduces the burden further?
Jason, I must be missing something obvious if you are saying it takes too long.
For repo identification, we employed some sort of "metadata" already, and it uses URL, and other properties like "id", "name" are just "proposals" for other tools to accept and use it or let users edit as it suits them (kinda "default value" but edit it if you want). Some examples:
hosted repo: http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/.meta/repository-metadata.xml http://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/.meta/repository-metadata.xml
proxy repo: http://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/central/.meta/repository-metadata.xml
group repo: http://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/public/.meta/repository-metadata.xml
More docos about this: https://docs.sonatype.com/display/NX/Repository+Metadata+%28proposal%29
This is a "proposal", with some very basic implementation in nexus SVN. Nexus already uses it, to resolve the "published" (downstream) mirror URLs automatically. There is no magic here (and in implementation), it is mostly the model only that's solely purpose is to make repo "self described". Future planned features are "nearest mirror by geoip" resolution service in transparent way, etc.
Problem #2 is definitely a problem for me. A transitive dependency should not be able to introduce new repositories into the build because this makes the build less predictable. The more repositories that are introduced, the more chance that one of them could be unavailable or renamed. In my opinion, the <repositories> section should be removed from the POM and should be specified only in settings.xml. In order to make builds easier, maybe a settings.xml file could be added alongside the POM. This would keep the distinction clear, but would still allow for a simple svn checkout and build with no additional setup.
Regarding requirement #4, one issue with using the repository URL as the ID can be seen in MANTTASKS-142. I don't have a problem with using the URL as an ID, as long as something else is used for the names of local repo metadata files.
*First I'm relatively new to Maven 2 and I used to use ivy in my projects. *
>In my opinion, the <repositories> section should be removed from the POM and should be specified only in settings.xml.
>In order to make builds easier, maybe a settings.xml file could be added alongside the POM.
This is exactly how ivy works.
And I've a question to ask since I can't find any related documentation except for this page.
Does "./.meta/repository-metadata.xml" (the .meta directory and the underlying xml file) matter in deciding whether the "repository" a URL pointed to is a real maven repository. For my weekend project I set up a very simple internal repository based on the file://URL. I've tried to added and removed the ".meta" directory and the artifact resolution works in either way.
So this is confusing me. If this is the case then what is the ".meta" directory for? FYI, a native ivy repository works without a counterpart of the ".meta" directory.
Thanks in advance

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Isaiah Baiseri was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Born via assisted reproductive technologies to a very unorthodox yet extremely loving Latino family, Isaiah was taught to continually question the world around him.Isaiah's experience as an activist in the LGBT community began his sophomore year of high school upon reading a Facebook message inviting him to join Queer Youth Advocacy Day - an event produced by the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. On a whim, he found himself on a bus headed to the California state capitol for a day full of lobbying in favor of various bills that would affect students in California public schools. Following his experience, he was inspired to start his school's Gay-Straight Alliance club. Continuing his work with GSA Network, he was selected as a core trainer in Southern California and joined the organization's Statewide Advocacy Council and Board of Directors.In addition to his activism, Isaiah was a member of his high school's varsity track team, a violinist in his high school's orchestra, and a volunteer at a local hospital. However, Isaiah has always been passionate about multimedia arts. He served as his high school's Commissioner of Artistic Design and works part-time as a freelance graphic designer. As a Design | Media Arts major at UCLA, Isaiah hopes to create media that is both compelling and innovative in furthering the fight for LGBT equality.

Women's Soccer Drops League Opener and Third-Straight in 2-1 Loss at Queens
September 16, 2010
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Queens University used a goal in each half securing a 2-1 Conference Carolinas womens soccer win over Pfeiffer University on Thursday night. The victory pushes the Royals to 2-3 overall, 2-0 in league play, while the Lady Falcons lose their third-straight falling to 2-3, 0-1.
Queens started the scoring in the 28th minute as the initial shot by Katherine Carr was knocked down by the Pfeiffer defense. The rebound from Carrs shot traveled over to Kelsey Howard who found Sami Striano for the 1-0 lead.
After the intermission, the Lady Falcons got on the board with Alyssa Wombwells second goal of the season as Erin Menzel (Wilson, NC) sent a long pass to Wombwell who headed home the equalizer in the 49th minute.
The Royals notched the game-winner in the 57th minute as Kristen Wright found Amanda Wright in front of the cage. Wombwell had the games final shot with just under 90 seconds left, but had Megan Hirschy stand in her way making the save.
Hirschy made three saves on the night for the hosts. Pfeiffer managed 10 shots in the contest, four on net. Jamie Alcala (Fredericksburg, VA) turned aside four Royals shots in the loss.
The Lady Falcons will get back into league play on Saturday hosting Erskine for a pivotal matchup. Kickoff on Saturday is set for 3:00 p.m.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Hman60 from Leaked Very poor product. The minute a plumber hooked it up the valve leaked. Would not recommend anyone buys this product.
Date published: 2013-04-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by FreckledBEAST from Excellent Product Well crafted and chromed.
Date published: 2010-12-18
Rated 4 out of 5 by laz1 from Polished Look Great for pedestal sinks--gives the area a polished look that doesn't detract from the rest of your decor as an ordinary angle supply would. Note: I gave four stars because my contractor said they were more difficult to install (he was unfamiliar with them, though) and one of the originals I got was slightly defective, but Kohler went out of their way to replace the part at no cost to me; even when we miscommunicated a few times on what part I needed, they kept trying till they got it right! Would definitely buy kohler products again.

This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Percocet, Tylox
WARNING: One ingredient in this product is acetaminophen. Taking too much acetaminophen may cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Adults should not take more than 4000 milligrams (4 grams) of acetaminophen a day. If you have liver problems, consult your doctor or pharmacist for a safe dosage of this medication. Daily use of alcohol, especially when combined with acetaminophen, may increase your risk for liver damage. Avoid alcohol. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage, including: dark urine, persistent nausea/vomiting, stomach/abdominal pain, extreme tiredness, or yellowing eyes/skin.
Acetaminophen is an ingredient found in many nonprescription products and in some combination prescription medications (such as pain/fever drugs or cough-and-cold products). Carefully check the labels on all your medicines because they may also contain acetaminophen. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely. Get medical help right away if you have taken more than 4000 milligrams of acetaminophen a day, even if you feel well.
USES: This combination medication is used to help relieve moderate to severe pain. It contains a narcotic pain reliever (oxycodone) and a non-narcotic pain reliever (acetaminophen). Oxycodone works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Acetaminophen can also reduce a fever.
HOW TO USE: See also Warning section.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor. You may take this drug with or without food. If you have nausea, it may help to take this drug with food. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea (such as lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as possible).
If you are using a liquid form of this medication, use a medication measuring device to carefully measure the prescribed dose. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose, take the medication more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.
Pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.
If you have ongoing pain (such as due to cancer), your doctor may direct you to also take long-acting narcotic medications. In that case, this medication might be used for sudden (breakthrough) pain only as needed. Other non-narcotic pain relievers (such as naproxen, ibuprofen) may also be prescribed with this medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about using this product safely with other drugs.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, watering eyes, runny nose, nausea, sweating, muscle aches) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions immediately.
When this medication is used for a long time, it may not work as well. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.
Tell your doctor if your pain persists or worsens.

Ghost trains of the Union Pacific
Posted 24 November 2011 - 10:19 PM
Just some background: my nephew loves trains and is "creeped out" by ghosts despite my telling him "ghosts don't real" because I don't want him to be scared of non-paranormal, natural events. Our family is open to the possibility of ghosts but highly skeptical.
One of his questions to me recently was "can trains have ghosts?" I explained to him what ghosts are believed to be so trains shouldn't be ghosts but I was reminded of stories I had heard from my childhoold about headless brakemen and people hearing and seeing ghostly trains.
Tonight we were returning home from my cousin's home after a big thanksgiving dinner. Nana, my mom, saw trains in the switching yard and turned down a side road so my nephew could get a better look.
As we drove by we saw four engines followed by a countless number of cars behind it. We also saw a switchman and waved at him. This side road is a very short dead end. We followed the road to the end trying to count how many cars the engines were pulling, and turned back at which point we heard the whistle of an engine, and my nephew exclaimed "They're gone! The engines are gone!" He was right. The trip to the end of the side road and back to where the engines were took no more than 30 seconds.
The switchman was gone too. We pulled up to where the engines had been no more than 30 seconds before and saw nothing. We had a view of the tracks ahead of and behind that point and nothing. The cars were still there but the engines had vanished along with the switchman.
I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this but my nephew is convinced he saw a ghost train. He's very happy and excited at this moment and eager to share his story with the world.
Thanks for reading and if you know of any good ghost train/engineer stories and videos there's a sweet little five year old boy who would love to hear and see them.

Thank you very much for those links!
I think my nephew will especially like the one about Lincoln's funeral train. I vaguely recalled that one from my childhood but didn't share with him because I wasn't sure of the details.
Thanks again!

Emergency Stop
James L. Choron
The Siberiak was late, and trying to make up time. The spring of 1998 had
been a wet one, and in many places, the train had been slowed to a near crawl by
water on the tracks. The Siberiak didnt have another scheduled stop for
another hundred kilometers, so the engineer was pushing the big electric engine
and her 21 cars to the maximum possible speed, given the conditions, about 75
miles per hour. It was snowing, nothing new in Western Siberia in March, but not
enough to present a problem.
Just behind the engine, in the first wagon, Nina Konstantinovna, the trains
Chief Stewardess, relaxed in her tiny stateroom over a cup of tea. It was almost
midnight, and she would soon start her final inspection round of the day, seeing
that the car was in good order for the night before dimming the lights in the
corridor. She looked out her window at the passing countryside as she
contemplated what had been, up until this point, a rather uneventful day.
Outside, the outskirts of the village of Gromiko came into view. No stop here,
she thought to herself, The place was so small that it only had scheduled stops
by the regional local train. Main Line Passenger Service and mail pick ups
were all handled through Barabinsk, which was still over an hour away.
Suddenly, the red warning light in her cabin began to flash, just as the train
began to shudder and weave violently. The air brakes on the engine screamed as
the sound of the big engines electric motor died to a whisper, covered
completely by the scream of the brakes being applied for a full emergency stop.
Sparks showered from the rails as the cars clanged together like twenty-one
thunderclaps in the dark, still Siberian night.
Nina jumped up, steadied herself, and headed for the engine to find out what was
wrong. Regardless of what it was, she and the stewards and stewardesses under
her command would now have their work cut out for them. As she started out of
her compartment, she glanced quickly down the hall behind her. No smoke, so
there wasnt a fire, at least not in this car. No unusual smell of any kind, At
least in Wagon Number One, everything looked more or less normal.
All along the eighty foot length of the car, people were emerging from their
compartments, many were stunned, dazed and looking excitedly toward the still
sealed outer doors at each end of the wagon. Others were huddled into small
groups and talking among themselves. One man was shouting as he worked his way
toward the end of the car.
Nina stepped quickly through the companionway and into the engine. Chief
Engineer Anatoli Podkrishkin and his two assistants were literally shaking,
white with fear, We hit her. Podkrishkin said in a shaky voice. It couldnt
be helped, we hit her.
Who, Nina Konstantinovna asked. This certainly didnt look good, she thought
to herself.
The woman, Podkrishkin replied, in a distant voice. She jumped out on the
tracks and started waving her arms, trying to get us to stop, She was too
close, His voice faded.
Just as he finished speaking, Sargent Oleg Kashin, head of the Siberiaks Police
Squad came through the door. Whats wrong, he asked in a solemn voice that
belied his 24 years. What happened?
Youll have to go out and investigate, Podkrishkin said glumly. We hit a
woman who ran out onto the tracks.
Oh my God, Kashin replied. He pushed the button on the intercom attached to
the wall of the cab and summoned his partner, Ivan Kolchak from the rearmost
wagon on the train.
The two policemen donned their coats and hats and swung down onto the right of
way. They then seperated, and began walking the track on either side of the
roadbed. From the cab of the engine, Nina Konstantinovna, and the rest three men
of the engine crew watched their flashlights dance in the night as the two men
searched the darkness. Less than ten minutes later, Kashin and Kolchak were
back. The short blond Sargent had a bundle in his arms, We didnt find a
woman, but we found this, He held out the bundle and revealed, an infant, maybe
a year old, wrapped in a white blanket. She was lying on the tracks about 200
meters up the track from the engine.
In half an hours time, the Siberiak was once again plunging into the night,
headed for Novosibersk. In Barabinsk, a report was made concerning the incident,
and the child was turned over to the local authorities,
About a month later, Nina Konstantinovna, who was then on her break received a
telephone call. It was Oleg Kashin. Nina Konstantinovana, he began, You are
not going to believe this,
What is it, she asked.
Well, you remember that incident on the Moscow Run last month, We have some
information on it now.
So, tell me, she said. Dont keep me in suspense.
Its this way, the young man continued. Barabinsk Militia turned the child
over to a Childrens Home.
In the course of the next three or four minutes, Oleg Kashin told one of the
strangest stories that Nina Konstantinovna had ever heard. It seems that the
childs natural mother had died giving birth. The father, faced with the
prospects of raising a small child alone, had remarried almost at once, to a
woman much younger than himself. His new wife soon became quite upset over the
amount of attention that her husband was paying to the child, and and apparently
lost her mind. She decided, in her husbands absence, to do the baby in. While
the child slept, she took it, and laid it on the railroad tracks, then she
packed her things and left. She was later arrested in a Barabinsk. When the
husband claimed his child from the Militia, he was questioned as to who the
woman could possibly be who had stopped the train, and then vanished into the
night. To everyones amazement, the description of the woman matched exactly
with that of the mans first wife, the babys mother, who had been dead for just
over a year.
A Tombstone Every Mile
James L. Choron
It was winter, the electric trains that usually pull the weight of
Russia's commerce were off line because of unusually heavy snows Not so,
"Old Number Ten". She and her sisters, products of the last century and
maintained in to this one, for just such emergencies "soldiered on" The
big, black and red steam powered 6-8-6 combine puffed and rombled it's way
through the Urals, shoving the snow aside as it climbed ever higher into
the mountains, until it reached the dividing line between Europe and Asia
Slashing it's way through the snow, and temperatures that approached 50,
the big train and it's tender, manned by two engineers, four hard working
firemen and two brakemen, trailed a column of twenty-one cars along with a
plume of oily black smoke, laced with red and amber sparks. Unlike the
nearly silent electric trains, Old Number Ten rattled and clacked along,
the ceasless throb of it's driver rods and the mournful wail of it's
whistle announcing it's presence to the world as it passed through the
tiny, sleeping villages that dotted the "Iron Highway to the East".
Sitting in a passenger car, inside the cozy warmth of a private
compartment, drinking the excellent Russian "Champaigne" and eating
caviar on tiny salted crackers, it is easy to imagine yourself in a time
long ago especially as you look out the window, and watch the silent birch
forrest pass a pack of wolves running along chasing the shadow of the
engine that the full moon casts on the brilliant white blanket of snow.
There is something about the steam trains something that can't be defined.
There is luxury here a special kind of luxury that the world, as we know
it, has generally lost. Most business travlers fly when they have to cross
Russia but the only real way to travel is by rail and the best way is in
the winter, behind Old Number Ten or one of her sisters It takes a while,
but it's worth it. Every six hours or so, the big engine slows as it
glides into some tiny, forgotten station to take on water for the boiler
Once a day, she stops to take on coal Old Number Ten has a healthy
At two in the morning, on the second day into their ten-day odyssey,
Number Ten rolled into a tiny station. The sign on the platform said
"Uriatin", and it was much like the last dozen stations the train had
stopped at on the trip there wasn't another major stop a city of any size,
until Ekatrinburg This tiny station in the Urals was nothing more than a
water stop and Vlad Samsonov, the Chief Engineer, was not looking forward
to getting out of his warm cab and fighting with the, undoubtedly frozen,
water chute on the trackside tower. He had already armed himself and his
companions with prize bars and shovels with which to assault the ever
present sheet of ice that barred the door to the cab.
Samsonov was a special breed of man far past retirement age, he was an
expert in the operation of steam locomotives. He came out of retirement
every winter to operate Old Number Ten, just as several of his companions
came back to operate the other six steam engines that the Government kept
on stand-by for particularly foul weather. He generally expected to make
about six runs each winter training new men in the "care and feeding" of
the steam engine as they pushed on, across the vastness or Mother Russia.
Samsonov nodded, and Alexander Shaposhnikov, the Senior Brakeman applied
the steam the big engine slowed, and came to a stop right on target just
like always right in front of the water tower. Samsonov moved toward the
door, grimacing as he looked out the window and noticed that the ice
buildup was even worse than usual "it must be really cold out there", he
Unexpectedly, before Samsonov could open the cab door, troop of local
workers tramped out from the decrepit little stationhouse and began to
de-ice the engine, inspect the trucks under the cars, and hoist the water
chute into position Up in the engine, Samsonov and his companions watched
in amazement. This kind of thing just didn't happen not any more not for
as long as Samsonov could remember.
The workers moved with speed and determination as they saw to the needs of
the big engine Samsonov counted at least fifteen of them, it was funny,
he thought, none of them seemed to be really dressed for the kind of
weather they were currently experiencing they looked warm enough but they
were not really dressed in winter clothing They seemed to be bundled in
several layers of much lighter apparel piled on, in absence of real winter
clothing to fight the bitter cold. Not one of them was wearing a proper
"shapka" fur hat
In the orange glow seeping from the stationhouse window, Samsonov could
see several uniformed figures, carrying rifles. That was odd. "No, not
really", he thought. "It s cold tonight. The local Militia Company has
come into the station to keep warm It's not like there's likely to be any
serious crime on a night like this"
Two minutes from the time they stopped, the train was completely de-iced,
the boiler filled with water, and the trucks oiled. In the dim glare of
the stationhouse lights, the foreman of the work gang approached the cab
window, took off his tattered cloth cap, grabbed his forelock, and bowed
solemnly. "Comedian" Samsonov thought He smiled grimly, and mimiced the
motion as Shapishnikov released the brakes. The big engine started to
slowly move forward lurching a bit at first, but soon gliding out in a
smooth liquid motion as the six-foot tall drive wheels gained purchase on
the rails.
Early the next morning, Old Number Ten pulled into Ekatrinburg It was a
one hour stop, since the train had to take on coal and pick up the surface
mail. Samsonov reported, as usual, to Nikolai Stalnov, the Station
Master, and made his report. In passing, he mentioned the excellent
service that his engine had received in Uriatin.
"Uriatin?" the Stalnov asked. "Are you sure?'
"Absolutely," Samsonov replied. "I can't remember ever having the engine
serviced there before, but I've never seen such an efficient yard crew".
He laughed, and then commented on the "salute" that the crew foreman had
given him as he pulled out of the station "Comedian" he repeated, this
time, out loud.
"Vlad" The Stationmaster had a somber, thoughtful look on his face He
hesitated briefly as he spoke. "There's no yard crew at Uriatin. There's
NOTHING in Uriatin just a water tower. That place has been deserted for
over a hundred years. The last time there was an active station there was
back when they were building this damned section of track"
"You heard me Uriatin was a Labor Camp The Tsar sent people there to get
rid of them quickly and to build that bridge over the Ocha that you
crossed just after you left the station".
"But who de-iced and serviced my engine?"
"That, I can't tell you Maybe you were dreaming Maybe you and your
friends were a little drunk I can't blame you, you know. A little vodka
does keep the cold out I even do it myself sometimes.".
"Nikki are you accusing me of being drunk on the job?"
"No, Vlad nothing like that but are you sure that you want me to put this
in your report? I mean"
"I'm telling you what happened. If you don't believe me, ask Shaposhnikov
and the others"
"And what I am telling you is this there is nothing in Uriatin. Absolutely
nothing, except the broken-down remains of the old Prison Barracks, a
water tower, and the graveyard where they buried those poor buggars that
built the bridge they died like flies, you know The Tsar sent them here
with nothing. Most of them froze to death or died of starvation. Now, are
you sure that you want me to include this in your report?"
Samsonov shook his head and kept silent What could he say, really?
It runs from the Baltic to the Pacific, but the main Stations are Moscow,
Kazan, Ekatrinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk), Omsk, Novosibers, Tomsk,
Yakutsk, and Vladivostock It spans six thousand miles worth of two
continents, crosses some of the most rugged and desolate land in the
world, and provides a lifeline of freight and passenger transportation to
the largest country on Earth. It took over a century to complete, and most
of the work was done by criminals, political prisoners and prisoners of
war It is a source of myth, legend and history It is the Trans-Siberian
Railroad the "Zhelezna Daroga" the "Iron Highway" and there is as the
saying goes whether you see it or not a tombstone every mile......

Ghost Trains
It was early in the fall and a blowin up a squall
From the trestle you could hear the weirdest moans
With a mighty lonesome cry came a whistle from the sky
And it chilled the very marrow in my bones
Then a loud rushing roar like you never heard before
Turned the blood to icy water in my veins
As I watched with rising fear something strange was drawing near
And I saw in the clouds Ghost Trains
(Ghost Trains Ghost Trains what a fearful sight)
The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night
Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry
Give her coal give her coal shovel it on
You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning
But I knew before the finish theyd be gone
(Well he knew before the finish theyd be gone)
You could see the drivers roll as they shovelled on the coal
And the black smoke came pouring from the stacks
As they thundered through the sky I am here to testify
You could hear the wheels a clickin on the tracks
Through the smoke and the steam you could see the headlights gleam
Now I have no proof but still the fact remains
You may doubt it but I swear there were cinders in my hair
When I saw in the clouds Ghost Trains
(Ghost Trains Ghost Trains what a fearful sight)
The Cannonball and No 9 were racing through the night
Just as they passed me by I heard the engineer cry
Give her coal give her coal shovel it on
You could see the fireman grinning in the engine that was winning
As I watched I saw them fade into the dawn
(As he watched he saw them fade into the dawn)

The Legend of the Olive Ghost Train
By W. T. Block
In October, 1930, a number of people stood in front of the probate judge in the coal mining country around the Marion County courthouse, dividing the property of the recently deceased Widow Hargraves. The widow's home had just been sold for $500, and the judge had arranged for relatives to adopt her two younger children. Her 18-year old son Tim stood in front of the judge as he said:
"Tim, times are real hard here in West Virginia since our coal mine closed down, and I want you to have a chance to progress elsewhere. I understand your Uncle Mart Hargraves works for a sawmill in East Texas."
"Yes, Your Honor," Tim responded, "but we ain't heard nothing from Uncle Mart in years."
"Well, Tim, I'm going to give you $100 from your Mama's estate, and I want you to buy a train ticket to Texas and look up your Uncle Mart. Maybe he can find you a job in a sawmill."
Tim found an old envelope among his mother's papers with the return address of "M. W. Hargraves, Box 46, Olive, Texas." A day or two later, Tim bought a ticket on the Southerner Railroad to New Orleans and another on Southern Pacific for Beaumont, Texas.
It was a bright moonlight night that October 30th when Tim Hargraves reached Beaumont, and he went straight to a booth and asked for a ticket to Olive, north of Kountze. The ticket master inquired, "A ticket to Olive? Why, that's a ghost town, and all the houses except 2 or 3 are gone. The East Texas Railroad passes nearby, but are you sure that's where you want to go?"
"Yes," Tim replied. "I've got to find my Uncle Mart." The next evening, Tim boarded the train, and the conductor told him he'd let him off at Olive, but that was no place to be after dark.
A few miles past Kountze, the train stopped as Tim prepared to exit. The conductor added, "That's the abandoned post office over there. You'll find a couple of families, including old Jules Berg, living a mile or so up that dirt road."
Suddenly Tim felt quite alone as he started down the dirt road into the forest, carrying his suit case. But there was a full moon in front of him, and the music of all the forest insects, the crickets and cicadas, filled the night air with their song. It never occurred to Tim, though, that there were also predatory varmints, including wolves, bears and panthers, in the surrounding woods.
After walking a quarter mile or so, Tim heard the chug of a steam locomotive, followed by a loud whistle, but he knew it was not the train he had just left. And intermittently the engine's headlamp flickered to his left, because the nearby pine trees sometimes blocked his view. Suddenly, with the full moon beaming in back of it, a locomotive started across the dirt road a hundred yards or so ahead, and Tim even saw the profile of the engineer in the cab. And then he counted five loaded log cars before the engine and its hissing sounds disappeared into the forest.
Tim hurried forward, and although he found evidences of a wide path through the forest, he could find no railroad tracks or crossties.
Bewildered, Tim kept walking until he saw the lights in the windows of a nearby "dogtrot" house. He knocked on the door until a voice within hollered, "Who's out there?"
"I'm Tim Hargraves from West Virginia, and I'm looking for Mr. Berg."
After a few moments, the front door opened, and a gray-haired man observed, "I'm Jules Berg, and how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for my Uncle Mart Hargraves, who I understand works for a sawmill somewhere around here?"
"That's a long story, young man." Berg could see that Tim was both tired and scared, so he invited him in to rest. Tim then related to Berg about the log train that had crossed the road ahead of him. He added that, although he had found a wide path through the forest, he could find no tracks or crossties on it.
"Yeah," Berg responded. "That's the old Olive ghost train and it makes one round trip every Halloween Eve. Ain't nobody but you seen it in recent years though. And there ain't no tracks or crossties on the old Olive tram road anymore 'cause they were all torn up years ago. By the way, what did your Uncle Mart do at the sawmill?" Tim said he did not know what his uncle did for a living.
"I knew your Uncle Mart Hargraves years ago when I was planer foreman at Olive," Berg continued, "but that was before the sawmill cut out and was torn down in 1912. Mart left here then and moved to Fuqua, in Liberty County, where he was engineer on the Kirby mill log train, before he died about ten years ago. My guess is that that was your Uncle Mart in the cab of that ghost locomotive you saw tonight."
Berg let Tim spend the night at his house, and the next day, as Tim prepared to return to Kountze, Berg gave him a letter and said:
"Young man, go back to Kountze and catch the Santa Fe train to Honey Island. Give this letter to Rufe Williams, who is dry kiln foreman at the Kirby mill, and if he needs a hand, he'll hire you. Just tell him that old Jules sent you."
The last that was heard about Tim Hargraves, he was still a sawmill hand at the Honey Island mill, but that was a long time ago. No one has reported seeing the Olive ghost train in many years now, but some Halloween night, if a locomotive should dart out ahead of you into a dirt road near Kountze, it's probably old Mart Hargraves, running late as usual and headed for the mill with a load of logs.

Woot I get to be on the CV Ace Wall!
I hit #15 with a beat star teebird on 10/28. It was a horribly good shot straight through the middle of the trees. We heard a loud ching after it disappeared and it stayed in the basket.
Two weeks later I aced hole #1 at Muldraugh the morning of the Gold Vault Open with my first shot of the day with the same disc. Too bad it was about an hour before the first round started
The one at muldraugh was sweet Its nice to see one from hand to basket
Dave Bustetter aced hole 15 the other day -
really cool ace - first sidearm ace for him, it came off the tree by the basket, and it was the only disc he still owned from his bag
sad story - dave had his car broken into a week or so ago and his bag and all his discs got swiped - so keep your eyes out
tim foley just aced hole 11 at cv
thats awesome
first ace on 11 - congrats
air or skip you know? or what he threw?
champion boss, medium stable, flipped up a little, late rise, chains, no skip.
any aces recently??
your name or your buddies not yet on the list??

RICHMOND--No one is watching what happens in Washington closer than the tens of thousands of Virginians who will be directly affected by the sequester.
Many people will lose their jobs because of the budget cuts and that has Gov. Bob McDonnell desperately hoping for a last minute deal.
McDonnell says the state's economy could lose $4.2 billlion over five years and $1.4 billion in losses for the Navy. Some of that is already happening.
McDonnell is concerned about what he says is the 'disproportionate share of the cuts on the military,' and calls the sequester a 'stupid policy.'
'Nineteen military installations and 25,000 defense contractors. It's bad news. Over 200,000 jobs estimated to be lost over 10 years,' says McDonnell.
Democrats are holding out hope that a deal could include adding revenue. Closing the loophole on people making more than $5 million a year is something Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner supports.
President Obama has also made it clear he wants to see additional revenue but McDonnell says sequestration has always been about cuts and cuts only and the President needs to talk about cutting entitlements.
'If you're not going to talk about Medicare and Medicaid, you're not being honest with the American people,' says McDonnell.
