I was sitting here on the couch and I felt him turn like he was turning over. I put my hand on my belly and could feel the head or the butt or his back....not sure which. It was definitely the baby...very hard, not a contraction. I pushed it ever so slightly and felt him on the inside move on the opposite side.
19 weeks...just felt the baby from the outside!

Jealous!! I haven't really tried to feel baby from the outside yet. My DS has me running all over the place so when I have down time, I am too exhausted or LO is keeping still. Congrats mama!!

That is so awesome! Are you a first time mom? I am, can feel my LO moving almost every day now, and can't wait for my DH to be able to feel him/her from the outside.
I am not a first time mom...this was so random...I didn't expect anything for a few more weeks but I am more in tune now that it is not my first.

Isn't it THE COOLEST thing ever! I was playing with my belly lastnight. Rather....just staring at it and watching sheeeet happen. The other day I felt a swoosh, I wasn't sure what it is but it made me jump a little.
Does it ever feel a little tender when you feel the "lump"...whatever body part it is? I'm a first timer, was just wondering!!

It can feel tender if the kid is pushing like hell against a muscle. He had his feet in my cervix a few weeks ago...well not IN it but against it and I was having some pain. As they get bigger, the head or butt pushing can make your skin burn a little also from stretching in that particular spot. Feet into your lung area way far into the preg can hurt for sure!

Dani, when I've felt him actually moving from the outside I've had a kind of soreness in the area as I started feeling it. I think it might be from him pushing outward as he's turning. When it's just kicks I haven't had the soreness.

Once, it was possible to purchase a cheap netbook only under a price range of $400, but of course it was a slow one. According to the flow of time the netbook manufacturers brought advancement in the netbooks, but demanded a cost very equal to the full-size notebooks. But finally, a netbook manufacturer has manufactured a netbook, both advanced and affordable, that is supposed to suit everyone's pocket fine.
Manufacturer of this netbook is Acer and it has put one of AMD's low-power, low-end Fusion chips into one of the under-$350 netbook namely, Acer Aspire One AO722, that has made all the difference in the netbook history. The Acer Aspire One A0722 is going to be the cheapest netbook ever we have seen with the said price range and you do not have to anymore forfeit the configurations that other netbooks demand in the same price range.
If you do consider the netbook from design specifications, then you can easily guess that it's a customer focused netbook. The aqua coloring and the distinctive ripple design on the top, make the netbook look purely potential. Also the netbook comes with an "espresso black" color with the same distinctive ripple effect. The design and colors of the netbook is expected not to suit the professionals fine, but they will too much appropriate for students and other casual buyers.
The AO722 feels firmly built from top to bottom, but is not heavy accordingly. It weighs only 3.2 pounds and with a dimension of 1×11.2×7.9 inches, it's too portable. So it's easy to carry in your luggage or laptop bag due to its size and little weight.
Besides, the Acer Aspire One AO722 is powered by AMD C-series Processor C-50. It comes with a lot of latest features like 11.6-inch HD WXGA LED-backlit display screen, 0.3 megapixel web camera, Main memory of 2GB DDR3 etc. The newest laptop of Acer runs on Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit operating system and supports 802.11 b/g/n WiFi connectivity option as well as equipped with ATI Radeon HD 6250 Graphics with 256MB of dedicated system memory.

The Acer Aspire One AO722 Laptop is now available for pre-order at the price tag of $329.99.

Final Fantasy XIV Gamers Hold Virtual 'Pixel Pride' Parade: VIDEO
The digital denizens of of Final Fantasy XIV's Eorzrea gathered last weekend to celebrate Square Enix's decision to finally allow avatars of the same sex to marry each other with a virtual pride parade. The inclusion of LGBT marriage comes as the latest in a long line of revisions made to the fourteenth entrant into the Final Fantasy franchise. Initially released in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV was met with widespread disappointment from fans.
Problems ranging from convoluted menu systems to clunky controls to effectively useless non-playable characters drew so much criticism that Square Enix owned up to its mistakes and made the decision to relaunch the game last summer as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It was a much better game.
As more and more new mechanics were added to the game to enhance gameplay, Square Enix created a forum to get more direct feedback from players. Amongst the hundreds of suggested tweaks to the game was the option for players to create characters that were queer-identified. Statistics surrounding the number of LGBT gamers are few and far between but a survey conducted in 2007 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign concluded that gay gamers made up about 23% of the gaming population and preferred RPG games like Final Fantasy.
"People within Eorzea will be able to pledge their eternal love and or friendship in a ceremony of eternal bonding." Game director Naoki Yoshida announced at this year's E3. [T]his will be open to people regardless of race, creed, and gender. Two players...if they want to be together, in Eorzea, they can-through this eternal bonding ceremony."
The pride parade was organized by the Rough Trade Gaming Community, a group of LGBT gamers with significant presences in a number of popular massively multiplayer online (MMO) games.
Watch video of the digital pride parade AFTER THE JUMP...
"Finally allow" them to marry? Since the marriage option isn't available to ANY players yet, how can you say "finally" as if gay players were excluded?
Posted by: Hrm | Jul 22, 2014 12:01:50 PM
Yeah, that always gets me when I see that. True, XI has a marriage system that ignores same sex pairings, but the system is still in the planning stages. However, I'm not surprised that XIV is more gay friendly. There are quite a number of gay NPC's scattered throughout the game (although it's a good chance that is purely the localization team's doing.

Review by Steve Angelly
- January 16, 2006
Concluding this review I just want
to say that the XFX 6800 GS XXX Edition card provides a tremendous
bang for the buck! The GeForce 6600 GT cannot compete with it nor
can the GeForce 6800 GT. Yes, the GeForce 6800 GT can stay within
range, performance-wise, but when you consider the higher price
of the GeForce 6800 GT and compare the attributes of the GeForce
6800 GS, in both price and performance, it's a no-brainer. For those
budget-minded gamers who are considering an upgrade to PCI-E this
card should be on your short-list for consideration.
Going with two GeForce 6800
GS cards in SLI is another matter and I hesitate to recommend taking
this path. One GeForce 6800 GS, like the XFX GeForce 6800 GS XXX
Edition, will provide enjoyable gaming performance in the latest
games, albeit at moderate resolutions, with use of antialiasing.
Going with two cards in SLI will allow use of 4xAA at moderate resolutions
but at double the expense. This is the touchy point as paying $400
for the two cards is more than you would pay for a GeForce 7800
GT and almost the price of a GeForce 7800 GTX. I would strongly
consider either of these cards as a single card solution over the
6800 GS in an SLI configuration.
NVIDIA has filled a void for the gamer
on a budget and XFX has come through with a diamond, a gem, a pearl,
whatever you want to call it, it's one heck of a bargain! Running
the latest games at 1280x1024 (on an LCD) or 1280x960 (on a CRT)
with 2xAA is possible. If you must have 4xAA it will require SLI
so that doubles the cost and the 7800 GT becomes a player for consideration.
Nevertheless, I am giving this card, XFX's 6800 GS XXX Edition,
the nV News 'Grand Slam Award' for providing an improved performance
version of a well-designed video card at a reasonable price.
Thanks to XFX for providing nV News
with the XFX GeForce 6800 GS XXX Edition to review!
Feel free to discuss or comment on

Wrapping Up RICON West
October 31, 2013
If you attended RICON West, we'd love to hear your feedback! Please fill out the survey here.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the sold-out RICON West a huge success! RICON has come a long way in just one year and we are excited to see how it grows and evolves in the future.
RICON West featured over 25 speakers from academia and industry, including speakers from Basho, Google, Microsoft Research, Netflix, Salesforce, Seagate, The Weather Company, and Twitter. Over two days, they discussed the theory, practice, and importance of running distributed systems in production as well as some predictions on what's in store for the future. Over the next few weeks, we will be posting slides and videos from all of the talks on both ricon.io and the blog.
RICON West would not be possible without our amazing sponsors. Thanks to Seagate, Engine Yard, Yammer, Google, SoftLayer, Tower3, Github, and Cloud Foundry for making RICON West a reality.
In case you missed it, we also received some great press. Here's a quick recap:
- "Salesforce's data-center design: 'Go for web scale, and build it out of s**t!'"
- "What do we want? Strong consistency! When do we… oh, it's in Riak v2"
What's next for RICON? With three conferences already under our belt, we are excited to get to work on RICON Europe (our first international conference!) and continue RICON East. Keep an eye on Ricon.io and our blog for more details.
RICON West was also paired with a one-day Riak training. We plan on making these a more regular occurrence all over the country.
Have any feedback about RICON West or the training? We'd love to hear from you! Always feel free to reach out via the Riak Users mailing list, IRC, or contact us.
Thanks to Our RICON West Sponsors
October 7, 2013
RICON West, Basho's distributed systems conference, is quickly approaching at the end of October. This event will feature speakers from both academia and industry, presenting on a wide variety of distributed systems topics. This installment of RICON will be the largest to date and it would not be possible without our amazing sponsors.
Similar to the RICON speaker lineup, the sponsors stem from a variety of different industries. Current sponsors include Seagate, Engine Yard, Yammer, Google, SoftLayer, and Tower3. Additionally, this year RICON has its first media sponsorship from The Register. The Register's Jack Clark has put together a list of the sessions that he's most excited about attending in his article, "Distributed Systems Boffins Flock to RICON West."
RICON West will be at the St. Regis in San Francisco from October 29-30th. In addition to the conference, Basho will be hosting a one-day Riak training the day before (October 28th). Be sure and grab tickets to both before they sell out!
Countdown to RICON West
October 1, 2013
On October 29-30th, RICON West will take over the St. Regis in San Francisco. RICON is Basho's distributed systems conference that brings together engineers, developers, scientists, and architects. You can purchase tickets for this almost sold-out event here: ricon-west-2013.eventbrite.com/
This year's keynote speaker is Jeff Dean, Google Fellow at Google Inc. His talk entitled, "The Tail at Scale: Achieving Rapid Response Times in Large Online Services," will describe a collection of techniques and practices that lower response times in large distributed systems whose components run on shared clusters of machines, where pieces of these systems are subject to interference by other tasks, and where unpredictable latency hiccups are the norm, not the exception. He will also share examples of how these techniques are used in various pieces of Google's systems infrastructure and in various higher-level online services.
RICON West also features speakers from academia and industry, including: Peter Bailis (UC Berkeley), Justin Sheehy (Basho), Pat Helland (Salesforce.com), Jeff Hodges (Twitter), Diego Ongaro (Stanford University), Susan Potter (Finsignia), Ryland Degnan and Jason Brown (Netflix), Miles O'Connell (StackMob), Derek Murray (Microsoft), Raja Selvaraj and Arvinda Gillella (The Weather Company), and many others.
If you'll be in San Francisco on Oct. 28th, we will also be hosting a full-day Riak training. This training will teach you everything you need to know to start building highly available, scalable systems on Riak. Tickets to both the training and RICON are still available.
RICON West wouldn't be possible without our amazing sponsors. Special thanks to Seagate, Engine Yard, Yammer, Google, SoftLayer, The Register, and Tower3.
Be sure to grab tickets to RICON West before they sell out and see you in San Francisco!

Riley Curry returns to Steph's press conference, sings Big Sean, is cuteEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie 15 hrs ago
The rest of you can have Stephen Curry, James Harden, and Klay Thompson. For the discerning fan, the true star of the Western Conference Finals was Steph's young daughter Riley Curry, who dominated the aftermath of the Golden State Warriors' Game 1 victory over the Houston Rockets by serving as the cutest press-conference attendee in recent NBA history. Sadly, Riley did not factor heavily into the next three games, perhaps because many playoff games last well past what we assume to be her bedtime.

Warriors clinch 1st Finals in 40 years with rugged Game 5 win over RocketsEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie 18 hrs ago
Although they're best known as a high-powered offensive team, the Golden State Warriors have proven the ability to win in many ways throughout a tremendous season. It's fitting, then, that they clinched the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance in 40 years by topping the Houston Rockets in a rugged, often sloppy 104-90 Game 5 victory to close out the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
The good news for Golden State was that Houston didn't fare much better. While Howard finished effectively in the paint, the rest of the Rockets shot 3-of-13 from the field and 1-of-7 on threes. However, James Harden offered his usual creatitivy and ingenuity to get to the line for seven free throws without a miss. While the Warriors were fortunate to be down just 22-17 after such a rough quarter, the Rockets looked to be in control of the game early.

Cavs finish sweep of Hawks with ease, land 1st Finals berth since 2007Eric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie 1 day ago
Eight years later, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the NBA Finals. The Cavs decimated the Atlanta Hawks 118-88 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena, finishing off a comfortable sweep and clinching the franchise's second Eastern Conference title and first since the 22-year-old James led them to the same achievement in 2007.
LeBron has now matched that finish in his first season since returning to Cleveland as a free agent last summer and will now look to capture the franchise's first championship. As noted by Howard Beck of Bleacher Report via the Elias Sports Bureau, James is the first player to make five straight NBA Finals since Bill Russell, Satch Sanders, K.C. Jones, and Sam Jones did so as members of the Boston Celtics' 1960s dynasty. Cleveland will face the winner of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets, which the former currently leads 3-1.

Kyrie Irving returns for Cavs-Hawks Game 4, will start with minutes limitEric Freeman at Ball Don't Lie 1 day ago
LeBron James will have some help in the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup as they try to complete a sweep of the Atlanta Hawks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. As tweeted by Yahoo's own Marc Spears shortly before Tuesday's tip, All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving has been made active and will start Game 4 after missing two games due to left knee tendinitis:
Cavs guard Kyrie Irving is playing tonight with a 25-minute time limit, sources told Yahoo.
Irving had been limited by the injury before sitting out Games 2 and 3. He appeared to reaggravate the injury in Game 1 of the conference finals and did not play much of a factor as the Cavs closed out the victory.

Looking ahead to Game 4: Hawks at Cavaliers
Previously on "The Hawks and the Cavs" ...
Game 3 was the rarest of things — a competitive overtime playoff game that's probably more fun to discuss than it was to watch. The Cavs' 114-111 victory featured a prolific (if also fairly inefficient) performance from LeBron James, who started 0-of-10 from the field but finished with five points in the final minute (including the go-ahead three-pointer) while dealing with cramps and various other ailments. His 12th career postseason triple-double was well deserved, because he's virtually the only player creating shots for the Cavs with Kyrie Irving hobbled and out for the last two days. It's very impressive that they are on the brink of a conference finals sweep without so many key players.

Rockets use incredible 1st quarter, Harden's 45 to avoid Warriors sweep
The Houston Rockets needed a terrific performance to bounce back from a Game 3 blowout loss and extend their season. A 45-point first quarter certainly qualified as a pretty good foundation for their eventual128-115 win.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
In tying a playoff record for first-quarter points, the Rockets put forward their highest-scoring period of the season and finished the opening 12 minutes with a 23-point lead. The Warriors made a valiant effort to come back and had to deal with a scary fall and lengthy absence for MVP Stephen Curry, but James Harden scored 33 of his 45 points in the second half to answer every Golden State run and seal the win. The bad news for Houston is that they still have to win three straight, including two in Oakland, to move on to the NBA Finals.

Stephen Curry falls to floor, leaves Warriors-Rockets Game 4 with head contusion
The Golden State Warriors came into Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals looking to finish off a sweep over the Houston Rockets. A scary incident in the second quarter brought much greater concerns to the franchise and the NBA as a whole.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
With 5:52 remaining in the second quarter, Warriors superstar and NBA MVP Stephen Curry jumped to challenge a forthcoming lay-up attempt from Rockets wing Trevor Ariza. However, Ariza stayed on the floor, causing Curry to fall on his back and then to the floor at an odd angle. Curry could not get his hands out to break his fall and appeared to hit his head on the hardwood.
He stayed down for several minutes as medical staff brought out a stretcher, but Curry was thankfully able to walk off under his own power despite appearing quite dazed.
You can watch video of the incident here:
Curry's injury came with the Rockets up 55-36 after a dominant 45-point first quarter. He has been the best player in the series, if not the entire postseason, and scored 40 points in Golden State's Game 3 blowout win.

Looking ahead to Game 4: Warriors at Rockets
Previously on "The Warriors and the Rockets" ...
I mean, what didn't happen in the Golden State Warriors' Game 3 evisceration of the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center? After two hyper-competitive games in which the Rockets may have come away with a 2-0 lead against any other team, the Warriors traveled to hostile territory and handed their opponents one of the most thorough beatdowns of the postseason so far, a 115-80 blowout in which they reestablished their status as title favorites. Houston went home with confidence that it could extend the series — it now looks likely that they will head out on summer vacation fairly soon.

LeBron, Cavs survive Hawks in OT, now one win away from NBA Finals
Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference finals will not be remembered as an especially well played example of NBA basketball. Over 53 minutes, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks handed each other many opportunities to win, with either team only intermittently taking advantage. The Hawks saw their best player ejected under controversial circumstances. Each team came into the game without an All-Star. For these and many more reasons, these squads offered decidedly less than what we hope to see from title contenders.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
LeBron made a defensive impact on the next play by challenging a Teague layup and forcing a miss too hard off the glass. At the other end, he put up this lay-in for a three-point lead:

Horford ejected from Cavaliers-Hawks Game 3 for elbowing Dellavedova
Already having lost both of their opening home games to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Atlanta Hawks suffered another major blow late in the second quarter of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals at Quicken Loans Arena.
[Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr: The best slams from all of basketball]
With 34 seconds remaining in the first half, Hawks All-Star center Al Horford struck Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova with an elbow after the two tangled and tussled for a rebound. Replays showed that Dellavedova had fallen into Horford's leg, thereby risking injury, and Horford appears to have retaliated for what he perceived as a dirty play.
Dellavedova was handed a technical foul (although not clearly for his fall), but Horford received a flagrant-2 foul, triggering an automatic ejection. Take a look at the incident here:
The NBA explained the call on Twitter:
Explanation (1/3): 34.3 seconds left/Q2: Horford threw an unnecessary and excessive forearm/elbow to Dellavedova, making contact.....
Explanation (2/3): 34.3 seconds left/Q2: ... Above the shoulders, therefore a Flagrant 2 foul was called on Horford...

Marble Hill: Feet in Manhattan, Heart in the Bronx
Sunday, February 24, 2013
It's been 100 years since the Marble Hill neighborhood became geographically annexed to the Bronx. But technically, it still belongs to Manhattan. And that gives its residents a bit of an identity crisis.
"It's good for people to have a passionate identification with the city, with the borough, with the neighborhood," Manhattan borough historian Michael Miscione said.
But ever since the small creek separating Marble Hill from the Bronx was filled in 1913, the residents of the neighborhood may be identifying with the wrong borough.
"You've got this neighborhood that is by all appearances a part of the Bronx, but it's not," Miscione said. "So you could be walking across the street up by Kingsbridge and you don't know that you've actually crossed out of the Bronx and into Manhattan."
In 1939, Bronx Borough President James J. Lyons planted a Bronx flag on the neighborhood's highest point, claiming it for his borough. And to this day, Marble Hill residents identify so much with the Bronx that they often don't realize they live in Manhattan until they're summoned for jury duty, Miscione said.
One Marble Hill resident made news in 1984 when she protested serving on the jury for a murder trial, saying she was not a resident of New York County, where the case was being tried.
Fearing that decades of jury decisions and electoral outcomes would be compromised, the state legislature passed a law declaring Marble Hill part of both Manhattan Borough and New York County.
Miscione will present a lecture on the quirks of Marble Hill and the implications for all New Yorkers at St. Gabriel's Church Community Center in the Bronx on Thursday February 28 at 7:30 pm.
Visit Kingsbridge Historical Society for more information.

Comments [1]
One of the unfortunate consequences of the status of Marble Hill is that it makes it harder to correct distorted traffic patterns. We desperately need a toll on Broadway Bridge to prevent toll-shopping commuters from taking a detour through residential areas in the Bronx and northern Manhattan, but car-addled local politicians oppose this because "it would cut our neighborhood in two."

"Welcome to the sniper's war"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Jun 28, 2011
Sniper Lite is a shooter in which you embody a sniper (POV) whose mission is to kill the enemy's sniper
This is the paid version of Snipe ($1.99) which contains extra weapons, more levels and other extra features.
There are two game modes:
- Single player: you play against the cpu in two sub-modes. "Versus", kill the other sniper before he kills you; and "Shoot off", shoot all the targets before the other sniper does.
- Multiplayer: Play online against your Facebook contacts. Take in account that the app will need to collect and display your Facebook name and your Facebook identification number.
This game is aim to be fun because of a great game concept and the different game mode that it contains. However, it has some catches that need to be fixed for becoming a great game which deserves four or five stars. These flaws we've notice are: there's no way to play multiplayer game without Facebook account, the 3D graphics are poor and simple (and this game requires precision). Finally, screentouch response must be improved, it's the most important thing in this kind of game in which accuracy is everything. Maybe turning it into tilt controls, it would work even better, but it's just an idea.
Sniper Lite has been developed by Roboconn Mobile Solutions, LLC, an emerging developer focused on Android games who has launched quite successful titles.
Features 2 game modes:
- VERSUS: Kill the enemy sniper before he kills you.
- SHOOT OFF: Shoot all the targets before the enemy sniper does.
Snipe is a highly interactive and customizable shooting game with dozens of weapons and upgrades. Single and Multiplayer modes allow you to play on a plane, or against your friends on Facebook. Compare your stats, earn money, and have fun!

I removed screws in trim, kick panel and counter top. Turned off breaker at electric box, Dishwasher slid out easily. diconnected water line; so i could slide entire unit out of cabinet. Laid unit on side and cleaned up the water that leaked out.Removed the pump with nutdriver, replaced pump and reconnected electric, drain hose and screws.Replaced unit into cabinet, connected water and turned on electric. no leaks, ran machine in rinse cycle, at time for pump I could hear and feel it was running, but no water. Evidently my original problem was the "air gap" device. I repaced it $4 at Home Depot and it works like a champ.In hind site, the air gap probably ruined the old pump, so you might want to consider changing it out whenever you change the pump.

Kentucky Historical Society
The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS), originally established in 1836 as a private organization, is an agency of the Kentucky state government that "collects, preserves, conserves, interprets and shares information, memories and materials from Kentucky's past to assist those interested in exploring and preserving that heritage".[1] The KHS history campus, located in downtown Frankfort, Kentucky, includes the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, the Old State Capitol and the Kentucky Military History Museum at the State Arsenal.
Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History[edit]
The Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History is the headquarters of KHS. A multimillion dollar museum and research facility, the center features permanent and temporary exhibitions, a research library and a gift shop.
The center contains an exhibition called "A Kentucky Journey" that covers the period from prehistoric times to the present. At the Martin F. Schmidt Research Library, which is a genealogical research library, researchers can trace genealogy and consult with professional staff. The center also contains the Keeneland Changing Exhibits Gallery for various temporary exhibitions – some examples of which include "Beyond the Log Cabin: Kentucky's Abraham Lincoln" and "Made to be Played: Traditional Art of Kentucky Luthiers." The gift shop is called the Steward Home School 1792 Store.
Old State Capitol[edit]
A National Historic Landmark, the Old State Capitol served as Kentucky's capitol from 1830 to 1910. Exhibits at the building feature the politics and daily life of the 19th-century. In the galleries of the Old State Capitol, exhibits show the evolution of decorative styles in an exhibition entitled "Great Revivals: Kentucky Decorative Arts Treasures".
Kentucky Military History Museum[edit]
Built in 1850, the State Arsenal contains the Kentucky Military History Museum, which illustrates military history using personal stories and artifacts. A fortress-like building that overlooks downtown Frankfort, the State Arsenal was recently renovated. The museum is a member of the Army Museum System.[2]
Other activities[edit]
Members of the public can purchase KHS memberships, which offer benefits such as free admission to the KHS history campus, KHS publications and reduced admission to KHS events and programs.
Kentucky students, in kindergarten through high school, have the opportunity to participate in the Kentucky Junior Historical Society (KJHS), administered by KHS. Members of KJHS have the opportunity "to participate in activities, academic competitions and service projects throughout the school year and summer."[3]
KHS has a variety of facilities available for rent, including the Commonwealth Hall, some conference rooms and the Cralle-Day Garden.

While he may still be on the bench for the 2012-2013 season, it is clear that Derrick Rose is anything but forgotten.
ChicagoBusiness.com reports Derrick Rose jersey sales continue to soar, with the point guard's uniform ranking in the top five in jersey sales for the fourth straight year. Rose is among elite company, as Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are the only other league players to be ranked in the top five each of the four years as well.
Rose remained the number one selling jersey in 2012 despite suffering a season-ending injury in the Bulls' first game of the playoffs. This year, he is dethroned by the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony. Not only does Anthony assume the top spot for the first time in his career, but he also becomes the first Knicks player to do so since the first list was released following the 2001-2002 season.
The rankings continue with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant coming in at second, third, and fourth, respectively.
[RELATED: Rose still won't rule out return this season]
Much speculation has surrounded the timetable of Rose's return to the hardwood. Regardless of whether fans will get to see the former league MVP in action anytime soon, it is clear that the presence of #1 is still felt everywhere.

New Sailor Manhattan/KC Kansas
Today i stumbled upon this wonderful forum for sailboat owners. I'm so glad i found it because now when i have a question instead of googleing it and searching i just come here. Anyways i just purchased my first sail boat last week. I'm an 18 year old freshman at Kansas State University originally from Olathe, KS(kansas city-ish) As you can imagine, as an 18 year old college students pockets are not too deep so as my first sailboat i purchased a 13' butterfly and got it for a very reasonable price from a guy moving to Florida in KC. Very simple and easy and just right for my style and amnount of time i have to sail. Also great because i don't really know how to sail so this will be a learning process haha. I just puchased the boat and get to pick it up next weekend when i go home to visit family for thanksgiving. Even thouhg the sailing season here in Manhattan is months away i'm still very excited. I will sail on Tuttle Creek Lake which is only about 10 min away from my house in Manhattan so very very convienient. Let me know if you guys have any "Do's/Dont's or else you'll kill yourself" advice.

Heading to S.D., Pujols getting warmer
ANAHEIM Ostensibly, Albert Pujols' decline from a three-time Most Valuable Player and career .326 hitter to his .194 mark on May 4 was attributable to familiarity. How else to explain his monumental struggles except for the fact that Pujols stepped out of his comfort zone in St. Louis to sign with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, leaving behind a Hall of Fame career in the National League for the foreign land that is the American League?
But, say, isn't that San Diego on the horizon? NL City, baby.
If it's familiar surroundings that Pujols has been missing, he should get a little of that back this weekend in a three-game road series against the Padres, the start of interleague play. Indeed, though he put off any questions Thursday about the upcoming series, Pujols can act as team tour guide to downtown San Diego. The Halos are geographically the closest club to the Padres – a distance of 95 miles on I-5 – but the two have never played a regular-season game at Petco Park.
"He's going to see pitchers he has confidence against, that's for sure, in a park where he's played before," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia. "If we're talking about him getting comfortable in a place, I don't think that's the case, but we'll see. Hopefully, he'll swing the bat well down there."
As it has virtually every visitor carrying a bat since its opening in 2004, Petco Park has shortened some of Pujols' offensive numbers, if only slightly. A career .333 hitter with a 1.087 OPS against the Padres, Pujols has batted just .258 in 25 games at Petco, including seven homers and 17 RBI. Last year, two of his four hits in 26 at bats versus San Diego were homers, including the lone hit he had in 13 at bats at Petco.
As probably figures to the Padres, too, Pujols would appear to be snapping out of his SoCal springtime funk. After hitting a three-run homer in the immediate aftermath of the firing of L.A.'s longtime hitting coach Mickey Hatcher on Wednesday, Pujols jacked a solo shot into the bushes in straightaway center at Angel Stadium on Thursday, the only L.A. run in a 6-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
"He has a special presence in the batter's box," said Scioscia. "When he's on, he'll carry you for a long time. Hopefully, we're seeing him starting to get that feeling. He's told us, 'You'll know when I find it.' We'll see it. I do think he's attacked the ball better than his numbers show."
Until he can get his wayward swing completely back to where it was for all those many incredible years with the Cardinals, though, Pujols' previous numbers don't seem to matter much. As he strode to the plate for the first time Thursday, Pujols' line was an incomprehensible .213, 2, 17. And that's with a .310 average and that three-run homer over the previous seven games, the kind of power surge for which Orange County is desperate.

Powers of prophesy: Davos looks to the future
Saturday - 1/26/2013, 3:32pm EST
By DAN PERRY and EDITH M. LEDERER
Associated Press
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) - Forget the endless debates about the euro or government debts. What does the future hold?
The World Economic Forum at Davos is always a showcase for new research, trends and ideas. And those at the annual gathering of the world's elite don't shy away from making predictions, even if they missed foreseeing seminal events like the Great Recession or the Arab Spring revolts.
Here are some predictions from this year's participants:
Climate change will lead to more and more extreme weather, which will cause tremendous economic upheaval, predicts New York University economist Nouriel Roubini.
"It's not just that New York is going to be underwater 30 years from now," he said, referring to the devastation caused last fall by Hurricane Sandy.
Oxford University physicist Tim Palmer _ who said as a scientist he preferred probabilities to prediction _ noted there is a 10- to 15-percent chance that the Earth will warm by 6 degrees Celsius within a century, leading to "catastrophic consequences for humanity" ranging from extreme weather to rising seas.
Vali Nasr, dean of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, said many countries will start running out of water in the coming years.
"Water is the new oil," he said.
Laura Tyson, a business professor at the University of California at Berkeley, said one of the great concerns should be "the employment effects of technology," with so many jobs being rendered obsolete by scientific or technological advances.
Discussions of such advances were everywhere at Davos.
Sebastian Thrun, a computer science professor at Stanford University and leader of Google's Self-Driving Car Project, said he thinks Google co-founder Sergey Brin's prediction that within five years driverless cars will be on the streets used by regular people is going to happen.
"It'll be a while before they're going to be mainstream, and there'll be all kinds of interesting questions coming about security, privacy, safety of the system as a whole," Thrun said. "But if they are available within five years for general consumers, I think within 15 years you ought to be able to buy one of those."
Edward Boyden, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who directs a neural engineering research group, says new technologies for analyzing the brain will produce significant advances in fighting mental illness.
"Right now we know that certain cell types in the brain are impaired in schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder or autism," he said.
If scientists can develop new technologies to image the brain and control the brain's cells, he said "over the next half-century or so we should be able to really understand how these networks" generate emotion.
Then, in the case of mental illness, "we can insert information into the cells in order to re-sculpt their dynamics and fix what's broken," Boyden said.
Technology entrepreneur Eric Anderson said biotechnology and medicine "are eventually going to be information sciences, with your genes... will determine treatment."
Julia Greer, an assistant professor of materials science and mechanics at the California Institute of Technology, says the world is craving a useful, ultra-superlight material to work with.
Her research group collaborated with Hughes Research Lab (HRL) and the University of California, Irvine, to recently develop the world's lightest solid material. She predicted that in 10 to 15 years it will be used as fuel cell catalysts, as acoustic damping devices on submarines, as anti-reflective layers in solar cells, and as components of vehicles sent into space.
The new material, called a micro-lattice, is made up of tiny hollow tubes of nickel-phosphorous that are angled to connect _ and contains 99 percent air, Greer said. It can also be used for high-temperature thermal batteries, heart stents and blood clot catchers, she said.
On a related topic, Roy Johnson, the chief technology officer for Lockheed Martin, predicted huge advances in 3-D printing.
One of the most famous predictions is Moore's Law, named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, which says that computing power doubles every two years or so. It has proven stunningly correct so far, putting new technological devices in everyone's pockets.
But how long will this law hold? Paul Jacobs, the CEO of Qualcomm, said it's not so certain anymore.
The implications of effectively infinite computing power are staggering _ no more waiting for a power-up or a download; every song, movie and TV episode instantly available; and even the possibility of what scientists call artificial intelligence.

There will be no March for Babies in Shelby County this year.
This annual event, which had been scheduled for Oct. 3, fell through this year because of problems on the state level.
The last couple of years, this event has raised $18,000 to $20,000, which supports programs in the community that help expecting mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies and supports research concerning ill or premature babies.
Anyone who travels up and down Main Street on a regular basis can't help but notice that construction on the new Judicial Center has really been coming along lately.
Shelby County Deputy Judge-Executive Rusty Newton said the construction progress has been amazing when one considers how inclement the weather has been this year.
Candlelight vigil for Duckett set for Nov. 9
The family of murder victim James Duckett is holding a candlelight vigil has at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 8 at Rockbridge United Methodist Church at 5317 Rockbridge Road.
Duckett, who lived across the street from the church and worked there, was murdered one year ago on that date. His killer remains at large.
Mooneyhan to address Rotary
Hempridge Road closed Saturday
The Department of Highways will temporarily close KY 714, Hempridge Road, Saturday for drain installation. It will be closed to through traffic near the intersection of KY 53 with KY 44 from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
When the Shelby County School Board meets Thursday night at East Middle School, it will take action on a number of agenda items that aim to get the local planning committee put in place and functioning.
"This is the committee that is put together of school people as well as parents, community and business people, to establish the next set of the facility plan," Community Relations Coordinator Duanne Puckett said.
Those agenda items that will be taken action on include:
Robert Andrews has long had a dream to build a multipurpose event facility in Shelby County.
With Triple S Planning Commission's approval of his development plan at Tuesday's special meeting, it seems Simpsonville could be the location where that dream comes true.
Six months ago Andrews, owner of Elegance, LLC., revealed his goal of building a 15,000-square-foot conference center in Shelbyville, but Tuesday he said the site has changed to Simpsonville to allow for bigger and better things.
The Office of the Attorney General has determined that the Triple S Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan committee did not follow protocol when looking at public feedback for the comprehensive plan because it was done behind closed doors and not in the public's eye.
The state's ruling, dated Oct. 13, asserts that the committee "violated the Open Meetings Act by conducting non-public meetings without notice or minutes when the Committee had been created by official action of the Commission."
Friday dawned wet and rainy in Shelby County, complete with swollen creeks and water pooling in roadways.
Local officials say the 2.4 inches of water that fell in Shelby County overnight has not troubled residents that much, but if the rain continues, that could be another matter.
A zoning computer upgrade is on the agenda to be approved at the Simpsonville City Commissioner's Meeting.
The meeting will be Wednesday morning at 8:30.
The upgrade is for a computer server to store more data and continue building GIS for Shelby County. The request is from Triple S Planning and Zoning.
To finance the upgrade, Triple S is contributing $2,000, while asking Fiscal Court, and the cities of Simpsonville and Shelbyville to share in matching that figure.

CAVA Robotics CCE data and predictive modeling methodology
CAVA's proprietary, predictive online comparative cost-effectiveness robotic models and change management programs are designed based on clinical and economic evidence obtained from more than 10,000 robotic surgeries and 1,500 patient chart reviews across dozens of US hospitals over the past 3 years, together with in-depth interviews from hundreds of robotic surgeons and hospital leaders. Our system's benchmarking capabilities are enhanced with data from new hospitals and IDNs on an ongoing basis, creating an every-expanding data set of unparalleled comparative robotic surgery outcomes.
CAVA Robotics streamlined Two-Phase / 6-Step engagement process enables our hospital and IDN clients to move through their diagnostic assessment and on to program improvement in as little as 16 weeks.
CAVA Robotics often means the difference between a successful Robotic program and a financial black hole
Simply put, the comparative robotic cost-effectiveness information gap stands as a critical miss for hospitals with a robotic program, as well as for any hospital considering the purchase of a new da Vinci system and the ramp-up of a program.
Robotic comparative cost-effectiveness information represents the difference between a program capable of economic success, and one destined to lose money year after year, even in the face of growing annual surgical volumes.
Most Hospital Robotic Programs Cost a Facility Millions With Little Hope of Fiscal Sustainability…
But It Does Not Have To Be This Way!
Learn how CAVA Robotics can help your hospital achieve the illusive ROI of robotics.

My baby is a year old next week. I had a precipitous homebirth that resulted in a pubic bone rupture, broken tailbone, and herniated lumbar spine. I continue to see an osteopath and pelvic floor p.t. weekly. The worst part is intermittent pelvic floor spasms, often after a bowel movement, that hurt like 20 out of 10. I take sea salt, cramp bark, magnesium, and use a heating pad just to do anything in the moment, but it seems like I just have to wait it out - anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour for it to pass. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and found anything that helps?

Song Of The Week: 'This Lonely Morning' By Best Coast
By editor
Originally published on Thu October 24, 2013 5:21 am
As he does every Monday, NPR Music writer and editor Stephen Thompson brings us a new song to kick off our week. This week it's "This Lonely Morning" by Los Angeles rock duo Best Coast, off their new album "Fade Away."
Thompson says Best Coast's latest offering is a good follow up to its album that came out last year, "The Only Place."
"It's a really worthy sequel — full of irresistibly summery, beachy songs that are really sad if you scrape just slightly below the surface."

The sewer section operates, maintains, and repairs approximately 194 miles of public sewer mains, 82 miles of public laterals and 31 lift stations.
The storm division is responsible for operation and maintenance of public creeks and lagoons, and approximately 13 miles of storm drain pipes, which consist of over four miles of culverts, 2,500 drain inlets and 19 pump stations.
The street cleaning division is responsible for the entire City's street sweeping operation. Street sweeping routes are strategically divided into 20 districts which are cleaned once per month.
All members of the Wastewater Division are certified through the California Water Environment Association, and are cross trained to assist other PWS divisions when needed.

Neighbors rescued two children who fell through an icy lake in Everett on Sunday.
It happened at Beverly Lake on 75th street southwest. Richard Oleson heard the boy and girl yelling for help and grabbed a raft he just happened to have on his back porch.
He rowed out to the middle of the lake where the two kids were struggling to stay afloat.
I grabbed the two children. The boy first was giving up and the little girl was panicking because she thought I was going to leave her. I made her swim to me, he said.
Another neighbor grabbed a rope and helped Olsen and the two children to safety.
The kids were taken to the hospital and are expected to be OK.

A concern about increased traffic and potential change in property value brought in a dozen citizens from West Jefferson Monday to the county commissioners' regular meeting on Monday, July 14.
The resolutions before the commissioners were two recommending changes in zoning on pieces of land near or at the intersection of U.S. Route 40 aka West Broad Street and state Route 142 N.E. at the eastern edge of West Jefferson, from NCD (neighborhood commercial) to C-3 commercial. Before the commissioners voted on the resolutions, they heard from residents.
Turkey Hill is looking into locating a convenience store there along with 10 fuel pumps. No officials for the Lancaster-based firm was present, but a civil engineering firm, P&L Systems, Inc. was present and provided a few bits of information regarding the apparent proposal. The store would comprise 7,000 square feet, the aforementioned fueling stations, but no car wash.
Tom Falco, who lives at 390 state Route 142 N.E., expressed concern about the potential for increased volume of traffic, which would further deteriorate the pavement in front of his home. He said the pavement is already crumbling and an increase in traffic from a convenience store could further exacerbate the road's condition.
Doris Picken, 310 state Route 142 N.E., was concerned, with the introduction of a convenience store into the area, that property values would decline. She also expressed concern about the possibility of it being a 24/7 operation.
Michael and Linda O'Reilly have lived at 100 state Route 142 N.E. for 37 years and expressed concern over a potential decrease in property values.
"We're sitting ducks," O'Reilly said.
Commissioner Paul Gross said no one wants to see property values drop, but there has to be a place for commercial development. He argued if such a business goes in, it will pay in taxes, some of which will be allocated to the local schools. As the school district has more revenue with which to work, it can improve the quality of the education.
When families seek to have their children placed into a good school system, that demand can drive property values upward.
"Our job is to work to find the appropriate balance," Gross said. "We want to make sure everyone is a good neighbor."
Officials from the Village of West Jefferson attended and Mayor Darlene Steele said "residents are split" over it. She said concern has been expressed over the potential increase in traffic.
With the approval of the rezoning of the two parcels of land, they will come before the zoning board of appeals, said Dave Hughes of the county zoning office.
He said by zoning the land C-3, everything done on the properties comes under greater scrutiny.
"Everything must go through zoning to get approval," Hughes said.
Turkey Hill, based in Lancaster, Pa., operates more than 250 convenience store/mini-marts in its home state, Ohio and Indiana and is one of five convenience store brands operated by the Kroger Co. The first store was opened in 1967 in Lancaster by the Frey Brothers.
In other business, the commissioners took time to welcome some 40 children and their teachers to the courthouse. They were on a field trip, a part of the activities of the summer school program there.
The commissioners also signed a resolution opposing the expansion of federal control under the clean water act. The resolution was drawn up and signed in response to the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers releasing a 371-page draft regulation for Definition of Waters of the U.S. under the Clean Water act.
The proposed rule change, if adopted, "will cause significant harm to local farmers, stall the development of business, take control of land use for sustainable food production out of our local providers' hands and, negatively impact county-owned and maintained infrastructure such as roadside ditches and flood control channels…"
The resolution goes on to state "…It is impractical for the federal government to regulate every ditch, pond, and rain puddle that may have some tenuous connection, miles away, to a body of water currently defined as "navigable."

"The majority of the young children we see or hear about who are over concerned about their weight, interested in dieting, or who have already developed a distorted body image have mothers who are preoccupied with their own bodies," said Susan Willard, director of the Eating Disorders Treatment Center at River Oaks Hospital in New Orleans, and a professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the Tulane University School of Medicine.
The mothers, she said, "devote a great deal of time and energy to dieting, exercising, counting calories and fat grams, and expressing their own displeasure with their bodies."
Is Barbie to Blame?
Any child watching prime-time TV is also exposed to ultra-thin women. "How many adults talk about dieting, looking greater as they become thinner and thinner?" Beresin said.
According to recent studies, many fifth- and sixth-grade girls have tried to lose weight, Beresin said. It doesn't mean that they will develop anorexia nervosa, but it does mean that they are feeling the crush of cultural and social pressure, he said.
"As an example, look at the figure of Barbie. Her figure is an impossibility for any young girl or woman to achieve, and yet it is the image of beauty," Beresin said. "How many girls yearn to look like her, or other dolls of the same image?"
Part of the solution lies in changing how we, as a culture, portray images of men and women and how we treat people who are overweight, he said.
"There is no doubt that our culture, and especially upper- and upper-middle-class cultures promote this disorder," Beresin said.

As I wrote last week, Compassion & Choices welcomes the affirmation by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) that religious objection is the foundation of their opposition to aid in dying. The bishops' battle against the medical practice of aid in dying has been vigorous in the past, though cloaked in secular arguments about protecting the vulnerable or promotingpalliative care. The statement the USCCB adopted last week asserts "suffering accepted in love can bring us closer to the mystery of Christ's sacrifice for the salvation of others." It's refreshing and important to see that theological rationale established at the forefront of political opposition to aid in dying.
Never would I intrude in another person's expression of religious faith and belief. I have no desire to interfere with those who wish to emulate the Passion of Christ on their death bed. Thomas Lynch wrote eloquently about his mother embracing this framework for her suffering in his delightful book, The Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade. His deeply respectful and loving description is enormously moving.
The Conference of Bishops was already clear in its opposition to aid in dying. So one wonders about the purpose of this new statement. As LifeSiteNews reported:
During a 2004 meeting of the bishops of the United States an agreement was made to sanction Catholic politicians who support abortion. At a press conference today at the 2011 Spring General Assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), LifeSiteNews asked if those same sanctions would apply to Catholic politicians who support assisted suicide.
Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities replied that the question of sanctions has not "been completely addressed internally." He did, however, stress that once approved, the new policy statement on assisted suicide – which is to be voted on by the bishops Thursday – would be made known in the public square, "and the political square as well."
As soon as the Bishops voted, lower level operatives went to work in "the political square." It got personal. "AID IN DYING" CROWD LOVES ABORTION wrote Catholic League president Bill Donohue, characterizing our supporters as "those who delight in helping people die," and slandering some – by name – with epithets like "gay phenom" and "notorious." No facts accompanied these accusations. Donohue falsely calls me "a champion of abortion rights," when I've taken no public position on access to abortion. I can think of no reason to link me and other aid-in-dying supporters to abortion except to tap into a ready-made pool of anger, hate and violence.
The policy statement itself claims, "Leaders of the 'aid in dying' movement in our country have also voiced support for ending the lives of people who never asked for death, whose lives they see as meaningless or as a costly burden on the community."
This kind of reckless, unsubstantiated accusation, and demagogic attacks on the character and loyalty of political adversaries is what we call McCarthyism. If it alarms you to see the Catholic Bishops playing this kind of slanderous hardball, consider what happened next.
Five days after the bishops spoke, Patrick Reilly, in Crisis Magazine, named five aid-in-dying sympathizers within the Church: theologians, bioethicists and law professors on the faculty at Jesuit universities. Because their views conflict with the bishops' on end-of-life choice, Reilly says "they violate the mission of a Catholic university" and recommends censorship. Do such accusations of impurity in thought not echo our nation's darkest history of blacklisting intellectuals? Will tenure track interviewers soon inquire, "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of any organization that supports aid in dying?"
Many religious scholars believe Catholic teaching derives not only from the Bishops, but also from the wisdom of the faithful (sensus fidelium), and the wisdom of theologians. "Real people bear both the grace and the burden of thinking," wrote John J. Hardt in America, The National Catholic Weekly, "as the church does about the meaning of living and dying." Or as Lisa Fullam has written in Commonweal Magazine,
[O]ur tradition has been enlivened time and time again by dissenters who voiced positions in tension with that of current magisterial teaching. I'm not referring to mere cranks, but informed and faithful dissent which serves to call the Church to reexamine itself on matters of importance.
Dismissing all dissent within the Church as immature and unbalanced hardly contributes to our reputation as a tradition of fearless inquiry. Rather, we are seen as people who think in mindless lockstep. Why should people outside the Church engage in dialogue with a magisterium which disallows dialogue and respectful disagreement internally?
Some, however, see such dissent as disloyalty. Mr. Reilly, whose Crisis article named names, is president of the Cardinal Newman Society, "a national organization to advocate and support the renewal of genuine Catholic higher education." "Genuine" I gather means "without dissent."
Unsubstantiated character assassination. Lists of disloyalists. These are the tactics that in the '50s led Americans to wonder, as Army attorney Joseph Welch asked aloud of Joe McCarthy, "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

Writer's Heirs Duke It Out
Ferenc Molnar was a Hungarian Jewish novelist
Ferenc Molnar, a Hungarian Jew, was one of his country's "great literary figures through the first half of the 20th century," according to today's New York Times, and in the 1920s he and his actress-wife partied with the Gershwins and Vanderbilts on a trip. Yet the fog that descended over Eastern European Jews in the 1930s—when Molnar and his wife fled Hungary for the United States—did a number on his legacy here, where his work survives in large part only through the musical Carousel, which was adapted from one of his novels. That fog has blurred his familial legacy, too, leading to a battle between two of his alleged heirs over almost a quarter of a million dollars in Holocaust restitution money.
First reported a few weeks ago by the Forward, the battle pits a woman claiming to be the great-granddaughter of Molnar's half-brother (got all that?), who has actually received the money, some $225,000, against Molnar's great-grandson, an official heir who receives royalty checks from Molnar's estate each year. He had never heard of her; she claims, pricelessly, that her side of the family cut ties with Molnar's after her grandparents were received by Molnar's wife in her dressing-room in the nude. (Quelle horreur!)
But forget the he said/she said. The real service Molnar's heirs will have done for their ancestor, and for the rest of us, will be if the publicity their squabbling attracts prompts a rediscovery of this great, lost artist.
