SEC's Redding: officials won't watch Spikes closer
Rogers Redding, the SEC's coordinator of football officials said Saturday night that Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes _ suspended from Saturday's Vanderbilt game after a controversial video showed him poking into the helmet of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey _ won't have to endure extra scrutiny by officials the rest of the year.
Redding (at left), attended Saturday's game at Florida Field. He said officials don't concern themselves with the past.
"You'd be surprised at how little officials identify with individual players in games,'' Redding said. "I don't think that will be the case at all (with watching Spikes closer).''
Redding's office has been pretty busy this fall, with Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Bobby Petrino of Arkansas and Tennessee's Lane Kiffin blasting officials in the media. It got so bad that the SEC changed its policy about speaking publicly about officiating.
Florida's Urban Meyer was fined $30,000 on Friday for being publicly critical of officials earlier in the week.
Redding would not comment on the SEC's new policy. But he did say the league officiating, overall, has been on par with other seasons. The league coaches have cast a bad image on officials by speaking out so much publicly.
"This is not broke,'' Redding said of SEC officiating. "It doesn't need fixing. . . . I think we've had a really good season so far.''
Redding notes that with all the league games on TV _ a huge amount on national TV with ESPN and CBS contracts _ officials are under much more scrutiny.
"It comes with the territory,'' he said. "There's going to be more scrutiny (in the SEC than most leagues).''
One SEC crew was suspended after making major mistakes in the LSU-Georgia and Florida-Arkansas games. They return to work next weekend but Redding doesn't discuss assignments for the coming games. It's league policy not to do so.
"These guys are pros,'' Redding said of the suspended officials. "They know what they are doing. They understood the need for the actions that were took. I look for them to be at their best when they return to the field.''

Guidelines and Limitations
SQL Server 2000
- To display the Microsoft® SQLXML 3.0 error messages in Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options; and then on the Advanced tab, clear Show friendly HTTP error messages.
- The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SQLIS3\NumThreads, if present, defines the number of threads that are spawned by the ISAPI to handle HTTP requests. If this registry key is not present in the registry, the default value is (2 * the number of processors) + 1. The minimum value is 1, and the maximum value is 256.
- The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\SQLIS3\MaxRequestQueueSize, if present, defines the queue size for storing HTTP requests waiting to be scheduled. If this registry key is not present in the registry, the default value is 3000 bytes. The minimum value is 1 byte, and the maximum value is 10000 bytes.
- XML returned as a query result is not validated against the mapping schema that generated the XML.
- SQLXML 3.0 includes version-independent and version-dependent PROGIDs. It is recommended that all production applications use version-dependent PROGIDs. This is especially important because SQLXML 3.0 is not fully backward compatible. Using version dependent PROGIDs protects from possible production failures when you install newer releases. From release to release, program behavior may change due to several reasons, such as bug fixes, possible design changes, and so on. Using version-dependent PROGIDs protects from unexpected failure when you install newer releases. With version-dependent PROGIDs, when you install a newer release, your application will continue to work without failure. If you decide to change the previous version-dependent PROGIDs and use the recent version-dependent PROGIDs in a newer release, you must test your application before putting it into production. For example, the following scenario shows when applications using version-independent PROGIDs may fail:
You are running an application that uses SQLXML 3.0 and version-independent PROGIDs, and you decide to install some other software program. This program might install an earlier version of SQLXML. Your application may fail because the version-independent PROGIDS in your application now point to the earlier version of SQLXML, which may or may not have the SQLXML feature that your application is using.
- On Windows .Net Server 2003 when you create a new virtual directory using the IIS Virtual Directory Management for SQL Server tool, the tool will try to enable the SQLXML isapi (sqlis3.dll) extension in the web service extensions in IIS (if it is not already done). If this process fails, an error message is returnedm and you must do it manually. These are the steps:
- Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- In the Web Service Extensions, click on Add a new Web service extension.
- Enter the extension name (any text) in the Extension Name text box.
- Click on the Add button and browse for the sqlis3.dll (by default in ...\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole DB folder).
- Check the Set extension status to Allowed check box.
This will add the ISAP extension and set the its status to Allowed.
- Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
- If for reason you don't want to use SQLXMLOLEDB provider and instead want to use SQLOLEDB provider for SQLXML features, set the SQLXML Version property to "SQLXML.3.0"

Henize 206
For stars, life can begin with a death. When a massive, dying star explodes, or "goes supernova," it releases shock waves that can sometimes trigger the birth of a new generation of stars. One such stellar family, a star-forming nebula called Henize 206, has been captured in superb detail in images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Henize 206 was first catalogued in the early 1950s by Dr. Karl Henize pronounced Hen-eyes), an astronomer who became a NASA astronaut. He flew aboard the Challenger Space Shuttle in 1985. He died in 1993 at age 66 while climbing Mount Everest. The nebula, its stars and the remnants of the blast that created it can be seen in this unique portrait of life and death in the universe.
The luminous nebula Henize 206 is a region of star formation which lies just outside of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, in a small satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. At a distance of about 163,000 light-years from Earth, Henize 206 is home to hundreds and possibly thousands of recently formed stars, ranging in age from two to 10 million years old. These stars formed within a cloud of gas and dust when a nearby massive star exploded near the end of its life. The powerful shockwaves sent out by this supernova explosion compressed regions of the Henize 206 nebula and began the process of star formation.
This NASA Spitzer Space Telescope image shows us a stunning example of the cycle of birth and death which gives rise to stars throughout the universe. If it were not for the death of this massive star millions of years ago, these hundreds of stars never would have formed. Eventually, the largest of these newly formed stars will die in a fiery blast, triggering another cycle of birth and death. This recycling of stellar dust and gas occurs across the universe. Earth's own sun was formed in a similar way.
By imaging Henize 206 in the infrared, Spitzer was able to see through blankets of dust that dominate visible light views. Infrared observations of Henize 206 provide astronomers with a laboratory for understanding the early universe, and stellar birth and death cycles. Unlike large galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud has a quirk. The gas permeating it contains roughly 20 to 50 percent of the heavier elements, such as iron, possessed by the Sun and gas clouds in the Milky Way. This low-metallicity state approximates the early universe, allowing astronomers to catch a glimpse of what stellar life was like billions of years ago, when heavy metals were scarce. This Spitzer image is one of the first high-resolution images of a low-metalicity star forming region.

As a spectator form, the tube has a built-in displacement, exemplified in the sitcom innovation of the laugh track: TV is what everyone else watches (just as public opinion is what everyone thinks). That True Stories, Raising Arizona, and Heaven oscillate between smug put-on and enthusiastic condescension suggests precisely this ambivalence. One defense against tele-commodification is a bemused loathing for those other ordinary fucking people, constructed as they are by the absurd social codes, received languages, reified desires, and true stories of bourgeois America's "wild, wild life."
It's funny. You come to something new and everything looks the same.Richard Edson Stranger Than Paradise
It's been said that artistic regionalism is the revolt of geography against history. What then is the particular ersatz regionalism of Blue Velvet and Peggy Sue, the Coen Brothers, Susan Seidelman, and David Byrne? Many of these filmmakers, and much of their audience, grew up in suburbia. AmeriKitsch, perhaps much of postmodernism itself, is the culture of suburban baby-boomers. Neither as cozy as smalltown America, nor as heterogeneous as the city, the suburbs (like television) are nowhere in particular and everywhere at once. Could the region AmeriKitsch evokes be less a place than a time?
Attempts to revive the Summer of Love notwithstanding, the '50s remain our favorite theme park. The consensus is that the Eisenhower era was the last age of consensus. (Whether this is true or not hardly matters. As American Graffiti makes explicit, the '58-'62 period is fetishized because it was the last thing glimpsed before the escalating traumas of the '60s.) It's been years since the futuristic utopianism of the '60s was superseded by nostalgia. Just as Populuxe might have served as the recipe for Making Mr. Right, so Jarmusch recreates The Americans as a nostalgic pastorale. Indeed, nothing is more characteristic of Americanarama than the superimposition of the '50s over the '80s. The decade blur is explicit in Peggy Sue, blatant in Blue Velvet, implicit in Something Wild (as well as in the British Absolute Beginners), and latent in True Storiesnot to mention the major theme of Ronald Reagan's presidency, The Cosby Show, and the programming philosophy of Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcast Network.
Nostalgia for the '50s is also present in the work of Steven Spielberg. But Spielberg differs from the practitioners of Americanarama in that his films (up until The Color Purple) followed the Godardian paradigm of movie quotation and genre appropriation; and more to the point, his suburbia is as apocalyptic as the Revelations of Saint John. A photo-realist appreciation for the nuances of tract-house life barely conceals the hysteria that underlies Close Encounters and E.T. (let alone Poltergeist, Gremlins, or Back to the Future). Lynch, Byrne, Seidelman, et al. try to construct families; for Spielberg the Father's wish to flee the home is as absolute as Huck Finn's desire to light out for the territoriesand a good deal more drastically regressive. Spielberg's is a desperate quest for rebirth.
Paradise, in Spielberg, is returning to the Mother Ship to be reunited with the radioactive embryos; paradise, in Byrne, is now. Still, something haunts True Stories et al., and Spielberg's paradoxical, inept attempt to portray absolute Otherness may furnish a clue to what it is. Gone is the ethnic chic of the '60s and '70s. The films I've been discussing are far whiter than the average television commercialand the whites are strictly unhyphenated American. The burden of Otherness is shouldered by blacks, and it's illuminating to ponder their role. Whether cast as Blue Velvet's blind seer or True Stories's voodoo priest, disguised as Jarmusch's noveau White Negro or scattered over the landscape in Something Wild, this Other remains reproachful, unassimilated, establishing the margins of representation.
To me, what this suggests is the uneasy awareness that our suburban consensus is nothing but an idea. After all, Reaganism is a reaction against the '60s, but only in part. Much of what happened during that decade can be summed up in two phrases, which became common currency 20 years ago and have remained so ever since: the Media and the Third World. Not only did new actors tread upon the stage of history, but the nature of the stage was redefined. Americanarama, like Reaganism, embraces one and represses the othersetting the American subject in a media-amplified hall of mirrors. At best, the crypto Third World that populates Something Wild or Down By Law is a fugitive yearning for some other utopiainterracial, cross-cultural, class-effacing. The apparent impossibility of fully imagining this alternative is what accounts for the uncanny hermeticism, if not solipsism, of these filmsand all Americanarama. True Stories idealizes the shopping malls in which it will presumably be shown.
We've come full circle: True Stories is as blandly positivist in its platitudes as Nashville was glibly negative. Here, the good life appears preserved, as it were, under glasslike one of the miniaturized, climate-controlled cities that Superman's nemesis Brainiac used to collect. Like our Great Communicator, the most pernicious Americanaramic films play let's pretend. They deny even the desperate denial that is the subject of Gates of Heaven or Melvin and Howard. Where America was the New Eden or the Golden Land, Americanarama is the game preserve of American hegemony, an island in a Third World sea-one nation, anesthetized, sealed in plastic, self-absorbed.

Directions included with replacement part were no help...maybe I'm stupid, but prying up on a threaded metal part didn't help unthread it at all.Vise grips solved the problem. I used vise grips to remove the rubber from the coupler while it was still attached to the blender base, exposing the metal base to the coupler. (yes, I used vise grips to destroy the damaged coupler. after all the hell I went through to try to do it as the directions said, it was very satisfying.)After removing the rubber, I used the vise grips to bend and distort the metal base until I could get a pair of needle-nose pliers around the drive shaft and hold it still while I unscrewed the now bent-up metal base. Victory!I thoroughly recommend this method to anyone else, as using vise grips to destroy something is very gratifying.

|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|The P2Y2 nucleotide receptor is a Go/q coupled receptor that is activated equipotently by extracellular nucleotides such as ATP or UTP and is upregulated in a variety of tissues in response to injury or stress. The biological effects of extracellular nucleotides are mediated through activation of P1 and P2 purinergic receptors. P1 receptors are responsive to adenine and P2 receptors are activated by a variety of nucleotides including ATP and UTP. The P2 receptors are subdivided into two distinct categories, the ionotropic ligand-gated channel (P2X) receptors and G-protein coupled P2Y-receptors, with seven transmembrane domains. Previous studies have shown that the human P2Y2 nucleotide receptor contains an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), integrin-binding domain. This domain is located in the first extracellular loop of the receptor and binds specifically to the v3/5 group of integrins. The P2Y2 receptor interacts with the v integrins by the RGD domain to activate Go and induce cell migration. The human and murine P2Y2R's have the RGD integrin-binding domain, whereas the rat homologue has a QGD domain. However, this change in the arginine position in the RGD integrin-binding domain is considered to be a conservative substitution that maintains integrin binding. In order to confirm this assumption we changed the RGD domain of the human P2Y2 receptor into the QGD domain by in vitro mutagenesis. The wild-type and the QGD mutant P2Y2 receptors were transiently transfected into P2 receptor null, 1321 N1 astrocytoma cell line. Preliminary data suggest that the QGD mutant can stimulate PLC dependent intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and also activate cofillin and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (Erk) with equal efficacy and agonist potency as the wild type receptor. Further tests need to be done to verify that integrin bindin and signaling by the Rac and Rho pathways remain unaffected in the QGD mutant to induce integrin dependent cell migration in response to UTP and ATP.

I have no problems with the actual washing done by this machine. The clothing is always clean and well laundered. My main complaint is with the creased state of the wash on completion. No matter what spin I use or how little I put in the drum, even the slowest spin causes the clothing to come out very creased. I've never before had this problem with a washing machine and would have expected better from Bosch… Read Full Review

Bought from the coop, lasted just over 3 years and that was it! Expected better from a bosch, but it seems that they are now no different to any other machine. It had normal light usage, two to three times a week and never overloaded, but the drum bearings went. Unlike my old Zanussi, where the bearings could be replaced, with this bosch the bearings are sealed into the drum, so it is a VERY expensive drum replacement. Complained to the Bosch service centre, but got a 'that's life' response… Read Full Review

I have had my machine for about 6-12 months and all of the fabrics I wash come out perfect. Even woollen items are washed beautifully. You must use decent washing powders and products. And use the correct wash cycles for the fabrics washed. I use the hottest longest cycle most of the time. I have beautiful cloths and accessories. No complaints from me, and no I haven't received money to say this. I would be the first to complain, but I don't have to with this machine… Read Full Review

My main complaint about this washing machine is that it washes badly. It has damaged a lot of my clothes (has literally produced holes in them) and has given a bobbled and worn look to many softer items, even when washed on a delicates cycle. The filter is almost non-existent and very badly designed. When you open the filter to clean it there is nowhere for the water to drain into because the filter is too close to the ground level. My clothes do not come out of the machine looking clean… Read Full Review

I agree totally
Bought this machine recently and it does NOT rinse the clothes properly

The drum, motor etc. seem well engineered, but after about 2 years I have to really slam the door shut to make contact to start the washing cycle. Also the compartment for the softener does not empty, we live in a hard water area and cannot soften our wash.

Firstly, be aware that Bosch and Siemens have a joint venture company to manufacture laundry products. The items have slight feature and cosmetic differences, but internally the machines are identical. My advice would be to weigh up the features which are useful to you and then choose a machine from either brand as they seem to frequently change marketing strategies making one brand appear to be "higher class" than the other from time to time and therefore more expensive. Having said that… Read Full Review

Keith, I've sold tens of these, and not had to deal with a single irate customer complaint for this model since they've been out, even though we tell our customers to notify us of any problems before getting a company to come out under warranty. You have obviously had a bad experience, but if a manufacturers engineer does not deem the machine to be irreparable you will not get a replacement. As well as this their customer service is prompt and efficient, we delivered an Exxcel recently and when unpackaging found the kickplate to be split. one phone call later and within 48 hours a replacement was at the customers house waiting to be fitted by us. the other time we had a problem was with a Bosch fridge freezer that was missing a door tray, which again, within 48 hours was dispatched to the customer. This does not strike me as the behaviour of a company that has poor service, and i wonder if their refusal to supply a new machine has influenced your opinion of it. especially if the potential is due to it not actually being the machines fault.

Appliance tripping electrics, i obviously do not know the contents of the engineers report for your machine, but modern boxes are ultra sensitive to tiny variations in current and voltage spikes. its quite feasible that anything on the same circuit could have caused the trip, unless it has repeatedly done this.

Machine leaking, did you check your filter for blockages? only the higher spec Boschs have anti-flood controls, so again unless i had access to the engineers report i couldn't say for sure what caused it.

As for rating them "3/10" for ease for use, if you cant find the controls easy to understand i would suggest trying handwashing because when you consider all the functions it has, its pretty well laid out.

The ultimate problem with your review is lack of information. You haven't specified WHY the appliance has failed, just what its failures were. Which means people will not pay too much attention to it.

DATE & TIME: Monday, March 25, 9 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Marriott Center (22,700) -- Provo, Utah. Television: ESPN News. NIT Record: Mercer 1-0, BYU 13-8. Series Record: First meeting.
GAMES NOTES: In the second round of the National Invitational Tournament the BYU Cougars will host the Mercer Bears for the first time ever when they square off at the Marriott Center Monday night.
This will be the first meeting in any venue between these squads. The winner will move on to contend with either Southern Miss or Louisiana Tech in the next round.
Although Robert Morris understandably got more buzz from topping Kentucky in the first round, Mercer also knocked off a perennial SEC power with a 75-67 win over Tennessee last Wednesday. The win was the 12th in the last 14 games for the Bears with the only setbacks coming against Florida Gulf Coast, which has made some noise in the NCAA Tournament. The Bears are 24-11 overall on the campaign and are in their first ever NIT.
Stumbles down the stretch didn't stop BYU from pushing past Washington, 90-79, in the first round. The Cougars had lost five of eight contests entering the postseason, including a 72-69 upset loss to San Diego at the Marriott Center. BYU is in the midst of its 11th appearance in the NIT, winning titles during the 1951 and 1966 seasons. BYU has won seven of its eight games in the NIT at the Marriott Center.
Paced by 24 points from Travis Smith, Mercer knocked off the Volunteers in Knoxville. Three of the other four starters scored in double figures for the Bears who shot 56.0 percent from the field as a team and knocked down 7-of-18 shots from 3-point range.
Smith (13.8 ppg) is one of only two consistent double-figure scoring threats for the Bears, who are not a particularly strong offensive team netting just 65.7 points per game as a team. Where Mercer excels is on the defensive end. The Bears are among the top 40 teams in the country in both scoring defense (58.4 pg) and field-goal percentage defense (.393). Langston Hall (11.2 ppg) has also been known to carry the offensive load for the Bears and is coming off a strong showing against Tennessee, finishing with 16 points and seven assists.
The trio of Tyler Haws, Brandon Davies and Matt Carlino powered the Cougars over Washington last time out. Haws poured in a game-high 27 points, Davies had 22 points and nine rebounds and Carlino also came close to a double-double with 20 points and nine assists.
The Cougars' effort against the Huskies has been their blueprint all season with the team relying heavily on Haws, Davies and Carlino. Haws (21.4 ppg) was the leading scorer in the West Coast Conference this season and can score from anywhere, including from beyond the arc. Davies (17.8 ppg, 7.8 rpg) can pound away on the inside with nine double-doubles on the campaign, while also scoring at least 20 points in the past two contests. Carlino (11.0 ppg, 4.5 apg) often takes a backseat in the scoring department, while making sure to keep the rest of the team involved.
The Marriott Center has been a safe haven for the Cougars this season with the team 14-3 on its home floor. Mercer may have been able to take out Tennessee on the road but another victory away from home may be too much to ask for.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: BYU 80, Mercer 70

NEW ORLEANS -- A father and son are dead after their SUV was hit by an Amtrak train Tuesday afternoon.
The Kenner Police Department responded to the crash site off Airline Highway near the Jefferson Parish and Saint Charles Parish line.
Police are still trying to determine why the two victims were in the area at the time of the fatal collision, which unfolded down a private service road owned by the Eastern Jefferson Levee District.
Kenner Police identified the victims as Emmett Barreca, 56, of Norco, and his son, James Barreca, 32, of Norco.
KPD confirms that the SUV tried crossing railroad tracks in the area when it was crushed by an approaching Amtrak train.
'He [the train engineer] said the vehicle crossed in front of the train, he struck it. When officers arrived the two individuals, who were in the vehicle, were pronounced dead on the scene,' said Kenner Police Department Lt. Wayne McInnis.
Police say the train was coming from Chicago, bound for New Orleans and that the train engineer tried warning the SUV's driver.
'The horn was sounded multiple times before he crossed the intersection,' McInnis said.
Police say all 63 passengers and 8 crew members on-board the train were not injured.
Abi Derefaka spoke to Eyewitness News shortly after he got off the train and arrived in the Crescent City.
'I didn't feel anything. I didn't know we hit anything until they said something on the speaker,' said Amtrak passenger Abi Derefaka.
'These individuals had no reason for being on that roadway and that's a question that will have to be answered too,' said Lt. McInnis.
While police try to figure out why the SUV drove down a private road and across train tracks, Derefaka said he immediately texted family to tell them he was okay.
'I was texting my brother, and I said, wow, it's my first time on a train and we hit somebody,' said Derefaka.
Kenner police say railway crossing signs are in the area where the deadly collision occurred. Investigators are looking into the exact cause of the crash.

Military & Spouses - Serve With Us
Amy, store manager, U.S. Air Force Veteran, and Military Spouse
"It doesn't matter what service you are in—the military trains everyone to be a leader, no matter your rank. I've enjoyed serving my country where I've been able to help accomplish our nation's objectives while knowing that I'm working for something bigger than myself. When my deployment was over, I attended a military job fair where I met Starbucks® district manager Devin Craig. As a fellow veteran, he had special appreciation for my military experience. Now, I use my leadership and communication skills I learned in the military to lead a dynamic team of partners as a store manager. " Learn more about retail careers like Amy's.
Kyle, barista, Military Spouse
"I love coffee and Starbucks, and became a partner because of the support the company provides to veterans and military spouses like me. My father served 34 years in the Army to honor his country and take care of his family, and my spouse is an officer in the Army who has plans to pursue a degree and career. I recently joined Starbucks as a partner, and was provided with an immediate opportunity to make a difference in the local military community. Since day one, I've been able to volunteer through the alliance between our Lakewood Military Community Store and the Tacoma Goodwill's Operation: GoodJobs program, which provides services and support to military veterans pursuing employment. One of my short-term goals is to finish a bachelor's degree and pursue a management career at Starbucks. I know that I'll be able to accomplish my goals thanks to the new Starbucks College Achievement Plan, the skills I'm gaining in my job and the support system I have at work and home." Learn more about retail careers like Kyle's.
Ann, shift supervisor, Military Spouse
"Growing up, I saw firsthand how important military service was to my family. My grandfather served in the Army, my sister served in the Air Force and now my spouse serves in the Army. My spouse joined the Army because he wanted to protect the everyday freedoms of the American people, and has dreams to go on and continue making a big difference and impact in this world. One of the reasons I became a partner over seven years ago is because Starbucks is committed to serving us (partners), customers and the communities we do business in. I love being a partner for many reasons, but the reason closest to my heart is the company's commitment to helping military families [ like mine ] transition back to civilian life. I am excited about my future, and have goals which include returning to school to pursue my master's degree and transitioning to a job at the Starbucks Support Center."

My friend Rosemary is moving, packing up and downsizing. It's the American way. You scrimp and save to buy a house, spend a lifetime scraping and scrubbing, replacing and renovating, decorating and landscaping — and then you sell it.
I wanted to say goodbye to Rosemary's big old house, stand in the foyer one last time, and breathe in the smells of old wood and new books and whatever was brewing in the kitchen. So I called and asked, "Can I come over?" But Rose said, "No. Richard and I are still packing." They have been packing for weeks — piling, sorting, arguing and choosing.
But despite all the giving away and carting things to the dump, they are still surrounded by more things. "It's as if we've done no packing at all," Rose moaned.
They aren't going far, just 10 more miles away from me.
I rarely visit her anyway except on holidays and for parties and to dig up something lavish from her garden. Ten miles won't change this.
So why do I care that she's moving? Rose and I have been friends since second grade. The first time she moved anywhere was away to college, but this was temporary. She returned every few months and there we were again up in her room talking and laughing or in my room or at one of our kitchen tables.
And even when she was gone, she wasn't really. Her parents were home, the porch door open no matter how cold, the yellow tractor in the middle of the field, clothes hung neatly on the line. These things were anchors.
In 1968, when we were seniors in college, we both got married, first me, then her. We were so engrossed in our new lives that we didn't think much about our old ones. Sleepovers. Wearing each other's clothes.
I never missed my childhood house and the life I lived there until my father suddenly sold it. And I didn't miss Rosemary's house until her mother died.
After this, after 1971, there was no going home again.
It's not what you take from a house but what you leave behind that are the real treasures. This is what I've learned. Things that can be packed, the dishes and photographs and Christmas ornaments and old report cards — mementoes — are not what you ache for.
What you want is what you had: a day at Rosemary's. Her father at the table, her mother making lunch, dolls and doll clothes on the living room floor.
I went back to my childhood home once, years ago. It was summer and the people who owned it invited me in. I searched for something, anything that was familiar. But the floors were carpeted and the walls painted and the kitchen redone. Nothing that I was looking for existed anymore.
A house doesn't preserve the past. Our minds do this. But sometimes, something in a house prods a memory. A sound. A scent. Footsteps on hardwood floor.
I will remember Rosemary's father when I think of her house. And her boys young and Rose young, too, all of us in younger bodies, scraping and scrubbing, replacing and renovating. The good old days. Only we didn't know it then.

Hello all,
Due to the persistent pop up on my Firefox 3.6 I 'upgraded' to Firefox 12. I don't like it, particularly as I used to use the Google toolbar, which is not supported on Firefox 12. I am now considering Google Chrome but how secure is it, and is it particularly relevant as I have a comprehensive and current AVG protection system installed?

Google Chrome is just as secure as Firefox. However Chrome doesn't have toolbars and you cannot run Google Toolbar. IE 8 or 9 has Google toolbar. All of these options are more secure than Firefox 3. If you are concerned about security then you should forget Google Toolbar as there are no security updates for it and Google recommend that people should stop using it.

Hello Both,
thanks for the advice but it seems as if my terminology was wrong. What had happened and I have now corrected is that in the changeover to Firefox 12 my old Google homepage did not transfer with it. This has now restored the small bar which gave the various options such as images maps etc. The question remains as to how important is browser security if a good security programme is also functioning?
Thanks again,

Browser security is more important now than it has ever been in my humble opinion. You get bad scripts written to web pages, sometimes disguised as adverts, and the very bad ones can execute if you merely roll the mouse cursor over them. So updating your browser is as important as updating your security software.

Bought a furler - Install tips?

Furler Installed
Installation of Schaefer SnapFurl CF-700
It's a bit overdue but I thought I'd share with everyone how the installation went. Overall it was pretty simple. Surprisingly there was no reason to go up the mast at all. Measuring was double then triple checked and at last the cuts were made.
The most difficult part of the install was due to the plastic foils that go over the forestay. They come rolled up and are a major pain in the butt to first "straighten" out and then trying to get an accurate measurement along a piece of twisted and moving plastic... ugh! Taping the measuring tape ever few fight helped quite a bit before the final cut.
Installing the plastic foils around the forestay was also challenging from a physical effort, not a technical one
Overall I'd say if you can follow printed instructions and take your time it is a fairly straight forward exercise. I've been very happy with the performance of the furler (it's been installed for a month or so now) and would recommend it.

Syrian helicopter crashes as a U.S. report finds Iranian shipments enter through Iraq
- By Mary Casey-Baker<p> Mary Casey-Baker is the editor of Foreign Policy's Middle East Daily Brief, as well as the assistant director of public affairs at the Project on Middle East Political Science and assistant editor of The Monkey Cage blog for the Washington Post. </p> , Jennifer Parker
Syrian authorities reported a government helicopter crashed near a Damascus suburb that has been the location of recent fierce clashes. According to the British based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, it was shot down by the opposition, although this has not been verified. A Western intelligence report says that Iran has been using civilian aircraft to fly Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps personnel and tons of arms across Iraqi airspace to Syria to aid government forces and militias against the opposition. The shipments appear to be daily and greater than initially thought. The report also stated Iran is sending truck shipments through Iraq. The Iraqi government has dismissed the claims. U.S. Senator John Kerry, the Democratic chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the United States should make Iraqi aid contingent upon their cooperating with the United States on Syria. At the U.N. Security Council meeting in New York on Wednesday, the new U.N. special representative on children in conflict, Leila Zerrougui, said children are facing a "dire" crisis in Syria. She said U.N. agencies had "documented government attacks on schools, children denied access to hospitals, girls and boys suffering and dying in bombardments of their neighbourhoods and also being subject to torture, including sexual violence." Syrian ambassador to the United Nations, Bashar Jaafari, denied the claims calling the UNICEF report hostile propaganda and placing blame on the opposition. According to Zerrougui, the United Nations is investigating "violations" of international law by opposition groups, citing indiscriminate bombings and keeping children associated with their forces.
- The U.S. National Counterrorism Center said the deadly assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was an "opportunistic attack." Meanwhile evidence has surfaced that Ambassador Chris Stevenson feared he was on an al Qaeda hit list.
- According to Palestinian authorities, up to three Palestinians were killed in Gaza by Israeli airstrikes, while Israel maintains they were "terrorists."
- An actress in the anti-Islam video "Innocence of Muslims" is suing the filmmaker for fraud and slander and has requested YouTube take down video that has caused violent protest.
- Jordan's King Abdullah continues to speak of political reform as tensions rise. Simultaneously, he has been clamping down on protesters and free speech.
Arguments & Analysis
'The Sources of Salafi Conduct' (William McCants, Foreign Affairs)
"If the Arab Spring uprisings were an earthquake in Middle Eastern politics, last week was a major aftershock. The rumbling began in Cairo, where a satellite TV station run by Salafis played clips of an inflammatory film about the Prophet Muhammad. Soon after, Salafi religious leaders called for protests at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, blaming Washington for not censoring a film made in the United States. The pattern was repeated in Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, and elsewhere. Although much has been made of the riots as a response to the film, they are more fundamentally about the nature of the post-Arab Spring regimes, and specifically about who gets to police public morality. Salafis across the region see themselves as the rightful guardians of the public sphere — and are acting to ensure that others see them that way, too."
'The Agony of Syria' (Max Rodenbeck, The New York Review of Books)
"In the face of the current uprising, now in its eighteenth bloody month, Bashar Assad has ordered a sustained use of heavy weaponry against his own people that may be unmatched by any state in modern times. The gory internecine wars in Bosnia, Chechnya, and Sri Lanka saw governments behave with similar savagery, but against what they claimed were separatist revolts. In trying to crush an inclusive, nationwide, and initially peaceful pro-democracy movement that from its inception was unquestionably backed by the vast majority of Syrians, the Assads' army has wreaked devastation akin to that in Grozny or Jaffna or Sarajevo, only across swathes of a country with a far larger population, devastating scores of villages, dozens of towns, and all three of Syria's biggest cities."
