Humanity breaks out in a most unlikely location
I'm on leave. Haven't written a regular column since August, not due to write one for some time. But I saw something the other I day I have to tell you about.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
First, some background.
I'd come to believe lately that the Ontario government was conspiring to drive me mad.
As you probably know, renewals for licence plate stickers, driver's licences and health cards are timed to your birthday. But it takes some amazing alignment of the planets for all of these things to come up for renewal the same year.
I'd received notices that I had to get new plate stickers, a new driver's licence, and on top of that, a new health card. If I didn't get all these things, I would cease to exist.
The health card renewal really cheesed me off. I already had one of the new ones, which features a lovely photo of me in which my hair appears to be inflated to 700 pounds per square inch. Yet a member of my very own family who shall go nameless (my wife Neetha) is still using one of those red and white cards that's so old and brittle the ROM has offered to buy it and display it under inch-thick glass.
One day was spent getting licence stickers, which involved driving to my wife's place of employment and rooting around in the glovebox for the ownership slip, which I'd neglected to get from her before she left that morning.
At the licence office they took my picture, which I wondered if I could get doubles of, since I was hitting the health card offices the next day.
No such luck.
So now I'm at the health ministry office in Oakville, been given a tag that says "60" just as "49" is summoned up to one of the three stations or wickets or whatever they're called.
The counter that separates you from the women working these stations is very wide and difficult to leap over, should you get the urge, plus they're in an area accessible only through a door with a security keypad on it.
While I'm waiting, a middle-aged, sandy-haired woman comes in and tells the person handing out the numbers some tale of woe. Needs a health card, doesn't have proof of citizenship, something like that. I can't hear the details.
She is escorted ahead of all of us to a station that's just come open. This might have annoyed me any other time, but I am reading a great book (Shatter, by Michael Robotham).
Soon, it's my turn, and I'm next to the woman who's having problems. I must provide a signature, answer some questions, stand back against a white screen to have another picture taken of my inflatable hair, get documentation I must carry until my new card arrives.
So I only hear snippets of the discussion next to me, but the woman is quite distressed. Needs her health card, but there is a document problem. Does she have this piece of paper, the woman behind the counter asks. A document showing her landed status? Well then, what about this? Maybe we can do this.
The sandy-haired woman is crying.
Then something amazing happens. This civil servant, one of those people the province has to tell to stop using Facebook and get back to work, says, "You look like you need a hug. Would you like a hug?"
The woman is crying too much to answer.
So the civil servant gets out of her chair, walks over to the security door, comes out into the waiting area, and takes the weeping woman into her arms and holds her. "It'll be okay," she tells her.
The woman is dabbing tears from her eyes when she leaves the ministry offices. I'd like to tell you she was the only one but that would be a lie.

I before E except after C .....weird.
I have a lot of non traditional and different ways of looking at things. Concerning everything from marriage, to kids, humanity, and society in general, but like to think that I am a pretty tolerant and open minded person. That being said I've been told I don't suffer fools, and have absolutely no interest in those things that I believe are only good for "dumbing people down". I think anyone that watches American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, or Duck Dynasty should have to wear a name tag that says as much so I know not to talk to them. I'm not interested in Facebook, twitter, and am still not entirely sure what a blog is. I hate the phrase "nobody gets me". There's nothing really insightful or overly intelligent about me to make me that hard to get. I'm just painfully average and not that different from anybody else, but I don't get other people. I probably should have been born 100 years ago. When people had to think and do for themselves to survive, didn't wear camouflage out in public, and the world felt much larger and unmolested by humans. I like being able to take care of or fix things myself. Everything from my trucks and motorcycles, to my garden, and home improvement projects. I try to exercise on a regular basis, but find that increasing harder as it's getting pretty boring. I try to change it up enough to keep it interesting, having a work out partner could keep things interesting. Even everyday boring stuff can be fun with the right person. Going to a musical, tattoo show, Lockhart just to eat bar-b-que, skydiving, projects around the house, getting up early to go to breakfast or for a run, taking the dogs to the park, going to the river, or taking dance lessons. I've taken lessons for swing dancing in that past and still think that would be fun. Never got very good at it, and have forgotten a lot of it. All in all I'm pretty laid back, not into arguing or drama. With the exception of a good heated debate of course. I can enjoy just about anything as long as there's good company. Oh, I can be pretty goofy at times and very dorky, still opens doors for women, have a very wide range of interest, and am always up for new things. I love food so I like to eat at different restaurants as often as possible, movies, and reading. Chuck Palahniuk and authors like that. I have dirt under my fingernails, can work on my own car, don't shave my arms or legs, or own an Ed Hardy t shirt. I know I'm great at selling myself right? HAHA My ideal match would be someone who is comfortable with themselves, adventurous, not afraid to speak their mind and not be mean about it, intelligent, warm, reliable, and loves to joke and laugh. I want us to be so comfortable around each other we can say and talk about anything no matter how crude, awkward, or emotional. Be as goofy, weird, or crazy as you want and not feel like you're being judged. I want someone I look forward to seeing, talking to, or texting everyday even if it's for no reason at all but to say hi. I want to find someone to share all of my experiences with so we can talk and laugh about them later. I want to find that woman who motivates me to go to great lengths for them even if I don't have to. Now with all that being said I do not want to smother someone or be smothered. There is a lot to be said for personal time and space. That's the comfort level I'm talking about, being comfortable enough with someone to be told that you're not in the mood to hang out today, and no one getting all butt hurt about it. I've been lucky enough to do a lot of cool things in my life and want to continue that. I want someone to share those experiences with though.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Doug Stanhope, weird obscure foreign and B movies, anime, sci fi, punk, metal, classic country, basically any music except country. I'd rather stab myself in the ear with a screwdriver than listen to Toby Keith.
I play on a coed indoor soccer team in Austin, I have 2 old pick ups one I've rebuilt and the others a work in progress, a random road trip, working in the garden, the river, bar-b-queuing with friends, watching movies, kayaking, the list goes on.

Lily pond at Naples Zoo to be paved as part of expansion
The turtles and the koi who live in the lily ponds near the entrance of the Naples Zoo have been put on notice.
They are about to be evicted.
County officials confirmed Friday that the ponds, which are one of the most recognizable parts of the zoo, will be paved over and the bridge removed to provide for the addition of a service road on zoo property.
"The ponds will ultimately become dry retention areas for the road," said County Parks and Recreation Director Barry Williams. "They will go."
The news is distressing to local artist Paul Arsenault, who has painted the lily ponds for years.
"The Naples Zoo experience starts at the pond, which offers a magical transition from the world of concrete to the world of nature," he said in an email. "I have known for a while that changes were scheduled, but I couldn't imagine that one of them would be to get rid of a treasure in order to facilitate a road. Surely planners can be more sensitive and creative in designing this."
Tim Tetzlaff, the director of conservation and communications for the Naples Zoo, confirmed that the ponds would go, but referred all further comment to his brother, David Tetzlaff, the director of the Naples Zoo.
David Tetzlaff could not be reached for comment Friday.
Matt McLean, the president-elect of the Naples Zoo Board of Directors, said the zoo is hoping to keep a section of the eastern portion of the pond open, adding the fish and turtles will be moved to a pond within the zoo near the butterfly garden. But, he said, the project is moving forward.
"Change is uncomfortable for people," McLean said. "The zoo itself is a story of its own success. We have 300,000 people coming through the gate and we have parking problems. It's inefficient. It can be a whole lot better ...The parking situation is going to be corrected with this project."
The project is part of a plan to redo the entrance to the zoo, Williams said. The county is building a parking lot south of the zoo's property in the area that is now overflow parking, which will be used both for zoo parking and for parking for the Gordon River Greenway.
County officials and the zoo amended the lease in 2010 to swap two 6-acre parcels of land that resulted in the development of the lot. The zoo wanted land north of its border for expansion. The county wanted the land at the zoo's southern edge for the parking lot and canoe-kayak launch for the greenway.
As a result, there will be a new entrance road built into the zoo at Fleischmann Road.
Williams said the zoo and the county will save the large tree near the ponds.
Williams said final permitting for the project is expected to be completed by May or June and construction of the road should start in the fall with the parking lot completed in the spring 2013.
Under the first phase of the road, a service road will be built along the north end of the property and the zoo's back operations will be relocated to the north end of the property, paving the way for the county to construct the parking lot on the south end, Williams said.
That work will take out the ponds, he said.
Arsenault, who does not believe the project will solve the zoo's parking problems, said the public needs to get behind keeping the ponds. He hopes to do that at the zoo on Easter Sunday, asking people to sign petitions and taking photos of people on the bridge.
"This is more of an information gathering. I don't want to get militant and use the word protest. The whole problem is a lack of communication and understanding the problem. ... We are losing a jewel in the crown of the zoo," he said.
In addition, Arsenault said he will also have petitions to save the ponds at his gallery, which is located at 764 12th Ave. S.
McLean said while he understands Arsenault's passion, the project is moving forward.
"We have partnered with the county and the greenway people with the project. The permits are close to being finalized and we hope to go into construction this year. We at the zoo are looking forward to it," he said.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 12/17/12
It was clear long before last April that the 2012 NFL Draft was going to center around two players. Those two players — quarterbacks, of course — were Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. Both players were expected to be franchise-changing talents. Luck was the consensus choice for No. 1, but holding the second pick wasn't expected to be too shabby, either, with Griffin waiting for the team in possession of that pick. That pick did belong to the St. Louis Rams, but the Washington Redskins gave up a ton to acquire it and take Griffin. Meanwhile, the Colts were "lucky" enough to finish as the NFL's worst team in 2011 and thus earn the right to pick Luck. Luck and Griffin are almost one season into their NFL careers, and so far the results have been pretty spectacular. Both of their teams are in the playoff hunt, with both clubs controlling their own destinies. Luck and the Colts have rallied around cancer-stricken head coach Chuck Pagano en route to a 9-5 record. Griffin's dynamic play-making abilities have the Redskins knocking on the door of the playoffs as part of a three-way tie for the NFC East lead. However, Luck and Griffin aren't the only rookie quarterbacks who are producing the most important stat — wins. Out west, some may tend to forget that the 9-5 Seattle Seahawks are being run by a rookie quarterback as well in Russell Wilson. The youngster came out of Wisconsin with not too many expectations, at least not when it came to making an impact. Yet Wilson outplayed high-priced free-agent pickup Matt Flynn, winning the Seattle starting job. He's made the most of it, and he has the Seahawks looking a playoff berth square in the face. The progress is definitely there for all three of them, especially after their three teams combined to go 14-34 last season, and now they're all poised to play postseason football. It would appear that all three rookies are going to add to their trophy cases throughout their NFL careers, but only one of them will be able to take home this year's rookie of the year award.

I had issue with opening input file with the latest mingw-w64 v. 5.1.0. threads-posix sjlj. It gave me ... "Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference. Backtrace for this error: #0 ffffffffffffffff " So, I went back to v.4.9.2 which works fine.
hello, i guess you forgot to publish packages for 5.1.0, or are they still being prepared.
Nice for x64
Who is tell me for download,which cannot acquire.Is it required to pay?Thanks
If I select x86_64 during intallation, I do get a gcc that seems to be able to compile both 32-bit and 64-bit object files. However linking seems limited to 64-bit, since the libraries only come in one variant, e.g.: mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libm.a. Is there any plan for this distrubution to become a true cross-compiler and support both compiling and linking into 2- and 64-bit executables? So that e.g. the -m32 flag would link with the 32-bit libraries and -m64 flag with the 64-bit libraries?

Worth the money
According to the wife - doesn't weigh 100lb, so even she, being somewhat petite and biceps challenged (and does most of the cooking) can haul it around. From my perspective, the brownies were perfect, and it was easy to clean. The lack of a thick coat of oil afterward also makes it easier to justify tossing in the car. Cast iron is definitely cheaper, but way higher maintenance.

I have a Camp Chef aluminum dutch oven. I just used it for DO potatoes. I also have 6 cast iron ovens, mostly Lodge 12 and 14" standard and deep. I would not give up the CI ovens for aluminum but I enjoy both. The aluminum oven is not much heavier than a good stock pot and I have backpacked with it. To make space work out I have tightly packed it with food or gear. The lid can be a fry pan. One other big difference is that you can use soap to clean the aluminum oven. NEVER use soap on a CI oven, unless yu like the taste of soap. The aluminum will never give you that "extra" taste of patina. That may not be a big disadvantage.

TCU Women Win College Division 4x4 at Penn Relays
April 30, 2005
Philadelphia - The TCU women's 4x400 meter relay unit won the College Division title at the 111th running of the Penn Relays, completed today at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
The TCU quartet of Deborah Jones, Jamee Jones, Donita Harmon and Nathandra John led wire-to-wire in posting a winning time of 3:36.43 to edge LSU (3:36.78). Nebraska was third, followed by Penn State.
"The relay was held in a downpour, so it was a huge win for our women," said TCU head coach Darryl Anderson. "They have every reason to fold, but got it done."
The TCU men put together a strong effort in the Championship Division of the 4x100 meter relay, placing fourth with a season-best time of 39.95 seconds. The foursome of Delwayne Delaney, Cleavon Dillon, Jay Cooper and Bradley Reedfinished behindonly traditional powers LSU (39.06), Florida (39.25) and Tennessee (39.88).
"They did a good job in front of a very loud and packed house," said Anderson. "We have a young team with two freshmen and a sophomore along with Cleavon and they were able to get the stick around the track. We tried to break up the Southeastern Conference trio, but could not quite catch Tennessee."
In the only other action involving a TCU athlete on Saturday, freshman Joe Brown placed 12th in the javelin with a best toss of 54.34 meters (178-03).
Some of the Frogs will compete next Saturday at the UTA Open, which will be the final tuneup prior to the Conference USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which will be held in Houston, May 12-14.
4x100 meter Relay Championship Division: 4. TCU (Delaney, Dillon, Cooper, Reed) 39.95.
Javelin: 12. Joe Brown 54.34m (178-03)
4x400 meter Relay College Division: 1. TCU (D. Jones, J. Jones, Harmon, John) 3:36.43.

Archived Story
On the road againPublished 11:19am Saturday, June 8, 2013
Although there isn't much visual progress on the prospective road through the Central Alabama Business Park, project manager Sheppard Dearing with Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood said the design phase is back on track.
"Building a road through the Russell campus is not an easy chore," Dearing said. "It's not like building a brand new road. There were some complications with underground utilities and power that we're resolving now."
As previously reported in The Outlook Aug. 8, 2011, the Tallapoosa County Commission approved a contract with Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood to design "Russell Boulevard" to extend from U.S. Hwy. 280 to Lee Street, making its way through the old Russell complex.
Russell Brands LLC, the city of Alexander City and the county put up funds for the project, in addition to an Industrial Access Grant provided by ALDOT.
Rep. Mark Tuggle said he is eager to see progress being made and expressed concerned about the delays being a threat to the funding from ALDOT.
"We got $1.5 million of industrial access money," Tuggle said. "For whatever reason, we've had to go back and get extensions on that money. You have a time limit to spend the money. You can obviously ask for an extension, but I think at some point if we don't make some progress … I know money has been turned back into the committee because of lack of construction."
Tuggle said the money, which is distributed from ALDOT's industrial access committee, is dedicated to projects that will attract new tenants into parks like Russell.
"It's only for the construction of the road. It does not pay for engineering," Tuggle said. "We have to pull the trigger on this thing and get going. It's important that we show progress and everybody works together. We need to go ahead and break ground and get this thing going. I don't think we would be allowed an additional extension.
"I'm ready to see the road get done in an effort to help us market the old Russell complex and get some tenants in there."
Gerard Brewer, Alexander City city engineer, said the project is facing the relocation of fiber, telephone, power, water and gas utilities – the logistics of which slowed the process down.
"There's a good bit of utilities that have to be relocated," Brewer said. "Some belong to the city and some belong to Russell. It's a fairly common thing. You don't allow main lines to run longitudinally down the footprint of a road. They have to be moved."
Brewer said although the grant did come into jeopardy because of the delays, Dearing and Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood brought the situation to ALDOT to achieve the necessary extensions by explaining "some of the design snags we've been through and the economic hardships."
Dearing said while they don't yet have a set deadline on finishing the design phase, the prospected completion is this fall.
"Once the design is complete, then it will go into the bid and award phase," Dearing said. "We've worked through all of those issues, and the funding from the state, city, county and Russell are all in place."
Dearing said construction will probably begin in 2014.
"We're back on track and everything looks pretty good," Dearing said.

From time to time, I think I am very lucky in that my existence is caught up in what I do. I write, because I can't not write. And I draw for the same reason. Other people, apparently, are not this lucky. So I guess this journal is for them.

Ahmad Ashkar CEO & Founder Hult Prize. In partnership with former President Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the Hult Prize has created the world's largest student movement for social impact, dedicated to solving the most pressing social challenges on the planet. Each year, more than 10,000 college and university students from around the world apply to pitch their ideas at one of six regional events that take place in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai, and online. Up for grabs is an opportunity to spend the summer in the Hult Accelerator — a world class center for innovation located in Boston. Following the conclusion of their time working in the Hult Accelerator, each of the six winning teams then pitch their start-ups at the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting, where President Clinton, along with CGI Meeting attendees select and award the winning team with a $1 million prize to make their idea a reality. Historically, teams crafted social entrepreneurship plans to be implemented by existing NGOs like Habitat for Humanity, Solaraid, and One Laptop Per Child. Responding to urges from President Clinton and micro-lending Grameen Bank founder Muhammad Yunus, teams will now compete to create wholly new organizations, oriented around a topic area selected by President Clinton himself. In 2013, teams are tasked with confronting the Global Food Crisis by addressing issues in distribution, manufacturing, production, technology, etc. The Founder and CEO of the Hult Prize, Ahmad Ashkar, is calling the move "NGO 2.0″. He hopes to create a new generation of profit-motive-driven social entrepreneurial start-ups. Mr. Ahmad Ashkar leads a diverse and international team, with staff spanning across six cities world-wide. He has held senior level positions as a management consultant, banker and real estate executive specializing in innovation and strategy, new market entry and global expansion. Mr. Ashkar is also a World Economic Forum Global Shaper and serves on the board of advisers and directors of multiple socially responsible investment funds and finance companies including Foundation Stone, Ltd, a company dedicated to the establishment of the first socially responsible and faith-based US Bank. As a Palestinian-American, Mr. Ashkar enjoys traveling throughout the Middle East for both business and pleasure. He is regularly engaged in projects and dialogue which aim to bridge the gap between the Arab world and the West and is a recognized speaker on Arab youth engagement and empowerment. Mr. Ashkar holds a MBA from the Hult International Business School and has undergraduate degrees in Finance and Marketing from Avila University. Presenting sponsor: Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter

You have alot of stuff going on at once here. You have given us 2 important clues. 1) fire out intake 2) low compression
The most important step in trouble shooting an engine problem like this is confirming the mechanical parts of the engine are correct. I am going to assume you have not removed the camshafts since the engine was running last. If you did have the camshafts out the engine you must confirm they are timed correctly and you have proper valve clearance.
Next comes compression and leak down tests. You already did the compression test, it says you have a problem. First was the compression test done correctly? Does the manual specify open or closed throttle? Did you measure it the way the manual specified (open or closed throttle). Confirm this.
Next, is the compression gauge a known good working gauge (has it given good results on a known good engine). Compression gauges have a check valve in them some times they leak and give bad readings. if you are confident in your gauge and your test method you have a compression problem. You state there is fire coming out the intake, so I am going to assume your blue rags are not stuck in the intake tract giving you bad compression readings.
A leak down test needs to be done to determine where your cylinder leakage is. This test will show you if you are leaking
past your intake valves (possible, you have flame blowing into your intake port), exhaust valves or rings.
Incorrect cam timing can also cause low compression but on an DOHC shim under bucket engine if your cam timing is off by much you will likely have bent valves and that will show up in the compression test and the leak down test. In fact, if given only this information, l
ow compression on both cylinders
fire out the intake
, my first guess would be the cams are timed wrong and you have bent intake valves, but if you never had the cams out of the engine this is very unlikely.
Don't spend any more time or money on ECUs, wire harnesses and sensors until you can explain the low compression.
Don't use starting fluid on the engine, it accomplishes absolutely nothing. There is something wrong, identify, fix it and the engine will fire up instantly.
Is it possible, while you were working on it, something fell in the intake tracts and made its way into the cylinder and caused piston/valve damage? This does seem like a stretch since both cylinders are low on compression.
Some of this advice may seem very basic, but I am not sure of what you have and have not done. If any of it helps great, if not ignore. Good luck.

Eastman Johnson's Perforated 1884 Five Cent Pattern1884 5C Five Cents, Judd-1724, Pollock-1934, Low R.6, PR66 Cameo PCGS. CAC. Eastman Johnson's five-cent pattern struck with an eight-sided scalloped hole in the center. The obverse has the date and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the outside with 13 stars encircling the center. The reverse simply states FIVE CENTS and has two shields. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. The perforated center of these patterns appear to have been hand cut as they vary in size. It is estimated that approximately two dozen of these pieces are extant. This is a spectacular example. The fields are bright and deeply mirrored, especially so for a nickel product. The devices display light but noticeable frost that gives the coin its cameo contrast. Just the slightest overlay of golden toning is present on each side. (PCGS# 62154)

Quinzena da Criança 2012 - a fortnight focused on children
MAPUTO, Mozambique, 30 May 2012 – The Quinzena da Criança is a fortnight of activities dedicated to children and their rights that begins with the International Day of the Child on June 1 and ends with the Day of the African Child on June 16. It is an annual event that involves all parts and all levels of society in the promotion of children's rights. On the occasion of the Quinzena da Criança this year, UNICEF Mozambique Representative Jesper Morch issued the following statement:
"This year's Quinzena da Criança is focused on the rights and inclusive care of children living with disability, which is a focus that UNICEF welcomes and supports".
We recognize that the concept of disability is a result of the interaction between functional limitations of individuals on the one hand and attitudinal and environmental barriers on the other, and we wish to address these limitations and barriers in order to promote the inclusion and participation of children with disabilities in the affairs of society.
We do this within a framework of human rights - as we believe that all children, including children with disabilities, have inalienable rights that must be respected by society at large. These rights include the right to health care, education and participation in decisions and matters that concern the children themselves.
The Government, civil society organizations, UNICEF, the UN system and others all need to work together to support a change in attitude towards people with disability, allowing all children to be respected and appreciated in their own right. They must also help create a positive environment, where laws, policies, products and support structures serve all children, regardless of their condition and challenges. UNICEF realizes that these are efforts that require a long-term perspective, but we firmly believe that we are at a point where we can make great progress in improving the opportunities for children with disabilities.
The Quinzena da Criança provides an opportunity to bring issues related to children with disability into focus. We encourage our partners and friends to play an active part in the Quinzena and to support the many events and activities that will take place during this time."

Winston Graham

|Winston Graham
30 June 1908
Victoria Park, Manchester, England

(aged 95)
London, England
|Jean Mary Williamson (1939-1992)
Winston Mawdsley Graham OBE (30 June 1908 – 10 July 2003) was an English novelist, best known for the Poldark novels; a series of historical fiction set in Cornwall.
Graham's father, Albert Grime, was a prosperous tea-importer and grocer. His second son, Winston, was born at 66 Langdale Road, Victoria Park, Manchester on 30 June 1908 at 8 a.m. Winston contracted pneumonia as a child and on medical advice was educated at a local day school, rather than Manchester Grammar School which his father had in mind for him. When he was 17 years old, he moved to Perranporth, Cornwall. He had wanted to be a writer from an early age and following the death of his father who had been incapacitated by a stroke, he was supported by his mother while he wrote novels at home in longhand and attempted to get them published.[1][2] His first novel, The House with the Stained Glass Windows, was published in 1934; his first Poldark novel, Ross Poldark, was published in 1945, and was succeeded by a series of eleven further titles, the last of which, Bella Poldark, was published in 2002. The series was set in Cornwall, especially in and near Perranporth, where Graham lived for more than three decades (1925-1959).
The first seven Poldark novels were turned into a BBC television series first broadcast in the UK between 1975 and 1977, which gained audiences of about 14 million viewers.[3] It was so successful that some vicars rescheduled or cancelled church services rather than try to have them clash with the broadcast of the Poldark series.[4]
Other than the Poldark novels, Graham's most successful work was Marnie (1961), a thriller filmed by Alfred Hitchcock with Tippi Hedren and Sean Connery in the leads.[5] The novel was also adapted as a play by Sean O'Connor in 2001 and returned the story to its original British setting and bleak ending. Five of Graham's other books were filmed, including The Walking Stick, Night Without Stars and Take My Life.
Graham was an accomplished author of suspense novels and during the course of his life wrote thirty-two novels (in addition to the twelve Poldark books). A 1941 spy thriller, Night Journey, set in the contemporary Nazi-occupied Europe captures some of the spirit of the time, with the protagonist believing that Britain was perhaps going to lose the war but is determined to "go down fighting". Graham also wrote a history of The Spanish Armadas and an historical novel, The Grove of Eagles, set in that period. (The plural "Armadas" refers to a lesser-known second attempt by Philip II of Spain to conquer England in 1598, which Graham argued was better planned and organised than the famous one of 1588, but was foiled by a fierce storm scattering the Spanish ships and sinking many of them.) His books have been translated into 24 languages.[6]
Graham married Jean Williamson in September 1939, having first met her in 1926 when she was 13 years old. She died in December 1992. During his youth he was a keen tennis player, recording in his diaries how many sets he played each day. He lived in Perranporth from 1925 until 1959, and briefly in the south of France during 1960, then settling in East Sussex. He was Chairman of the Society of Authors and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and in 1983 was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.[6]
Graham's autobiography, Memoirs of a Private Man, was published by Macmillan in 2003. To celebrate the centenary of his birth, the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, Cornwall, had an exhibition devoted to his life and works (Poldark's Cornwall: The Life and Times of Winston Graham) from mid-June to mid-September 2008, coinciding with re-publication of the Poldark novels by Pan Macmillan.[6]
The Winston Graham Historical Prize was initiated as part of the Centenary Celebrations.[7] Funded by a legacy from the author and supported by Pan Macmillan, it is for a work of unpublished fiction, preferably with an association with Cornwall. Details can be obtained from the Royal Cornwall Museum.
The majority of Winston Graham's manuscripts and papers have been donated to the Royal Institution of Cornwall by his son, Andrew Graham, and daughter, Rosamund Barteau. Further papers are housed at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University.

Allie, I spoke with ATI Carpet and Upholstry Cleaning on Long Island. I'm thinking of having some rugs professionally cleaned in the near future. And while I was calling ATI, I decided to ask them about your situation, too. The lady there said to go to the store and buy a bottle of White Distilled Vinegar and put it in a spray bottle. Using a spray will keep you from over wetting the blood stains and causing further problems. And only use White Distilled Vinegar.
And Lisa said to use a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of White Distilled Vinegar and Water. And she also said to work in an upward blotting motion. That way you will avoid jamming the blood stains down deeper. She also said that using the Vinegar should help with the smell.
What kind of unpholstry is it? Cloth, Suede or Vinyl?
Good luck with it!
And Allie, I doubt the Car Rental company will make you pay for the car. If they are reputable, they should understand that accidents happen.
I hope you and your friend are feeling better today. Don't worry about the car too much. It's a problem that will pass with time.

I cover green technology, energy and the environment from Chicago. full bio →
Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
I have covered the energy and environment beat since 1985, when I discovered my college was discarding radioactive waste in a dumpster. That story ran in the Arizona Republic, and I have chased electrons and pollutants ever since, for dailies in Arizona and California, for alternative weeklies including New Times and Newcity, for online innovators such as The Weather Channel's Forecast Earth project, The New York Times Company's LifeWire syndicate, and True/Slant—the prototype for the new Forbes. I've wandered far afield—to cover the counterrevolutionary war in Nicaragua, the World Series Earthquake in San Francisco, the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. For the last several years I have also been teaching journalism and argument at the University of Chicago. Email me here: jeffmcmahon.com/contact-jeff-mcmahon/Contact Jeff McMahon
The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
There is no safe level of these types of radiation. You can find experts saying this over and over on the internet. They just don't want anyone to panic as there is no solution to this problem and BTW, the stupid reactor is getting worse, not better. Also, the radiation doesn't just fade away in your body. They accumulate and you had to do aggressive detoxification to get rid of them.
Hello annecares1 and Mr. McMahon,
Most toxicologists and epidemiologists will agree that for the majority of carcinogens, there is no "safe" level. Each and every exposure increases the likelihood of producing damage to DNA which can lead to the initiation of cancer.
With that said, it is important to note that there are naturally occurring sources of radioactive materials which are ubiquitous. These materials are of course a health risk but there is nothing anyone can do about them. So the question is not whether radioactive materials are released from the Japanese reactor or if those materials reach the US, the question is will they raise the exposure of Americans above the natural background levels.
Jct: And our Can adian government to the north says they see no danger just to the north. Of course, it helps that they've turned off their fallout detectors and no longer test the milk! Har har har. They're lawying to us.
Cesium 137 has a half life of 30 years and is ubiquitous in our environment due to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. Each year, the Cesium 137 is less and less radioactive, but if Vermont just found Ce137 for the "first time" in milk, that's because that was the first time milk was tested in Vermont.
Please be responsible journalists and find a scientist who understands this topic. If they found shorter lived radio nuclides in combination with Ce137, that would prove a Fukushima connection. Without that evidence, this is junk science.
Jeff- Thanks for the informative article. I have a question, though, about the EPA testing. Is this something that is done normally,specifically for radiation? And,if so, what are the readings pre-Japan for Little Rock? I ask this, because as an Arkansas Resident, I aware that Milk from Little Rock, is coming from a Dairy area very close to our own Nuclear Plant. What I'm getting at,as a question is-Are, the readings so high in Little Rock, just based on a jump from the Japanese incident ? Or, are they high readings, just boosted even higher, in conjunction with the time of the Japan incident? Just wondering if you were aware of any data, or info on that sort of comparison. Again Thanks for the Article.
I have a nutritional chart for radiation exposure – I don't know how to get a copy to you – my email is SharryOnAir#gmail.com. just change the symbol, I'm posted it this way to prevent trawlers from grabbing my info
Health standards will not change if you listen to the regulators (Nuclear Regulatory Comission) and the plant operators. The most effective way to make nuclear energy plants safer is to do what they did in Vermont with Act 160.
Nuclear electricity is the most expensive electricity in the world. Entitlements and tax-payer bailouts for the industry keep it afloat. The cost of managing the radioactive waste will cost taxpayers for the next 20,000 years. Would you buy a hamburger for $10,000? Nuclear electricity is the kind of electricity you use once and pay for every year until the cancer causing radiation disapates. How would you like to make house payments for the next 20,000 years. If so, just keep going along with your governments energy policies. Just do nothing.
Thanks to everyone for responding to my comments, which quite sincerely, I did not expect. Now, I want to bring your attention to the "new" development that the Japanese govt is raising the reactor issue to a Level 7. And unfortunately, that is not really indicative of the issue level as sites I am reading are saying this is 1000x the level of Chernobyl. So, the even higher radiation is coming and coming fast to America as it is part of our 'jet stream' from Asia.
Greenpeace released a report on March 25th which put Fukushima at level 7. It is the highest level as far as I know, maybe under the circumstances this one needs to go to 11. Or at least 8. Greenpeace put its own boots on the ground to take readings, which is what I believe forced the NRC here to state level 7 last week. Also, quite contradictory here, altho Japanese gov't states level 7, they are also saying that the amount of radiation released is only 1/10th that of Chernobyl. The UN needs to hold them much more accountable for these discrepancies of information.
In 1945 the USA committed the single, most vicious act of state terrorism in human history by dropping A-bombs on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The gutless excuse, that this willful slaughter "was necessary to end the war," was denied by General Dwight D.Dwight Eisenhower, Admiral William D. Leahy, Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Herbert Hoover, and General Douglas MacArthur. The initial crime produced a tsunami of global nuclear testing that continued until 1998. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U8CZAKSsNA
Ironically, the "tsunami" which started to go around in 1945, is jet-streaming its way to America in 2012.
I'm a little confused about how radiation is showing up in milk. Don't most large dairy operations feed grain and alfalfa? Wouldn't those have been harvested last fall? Is there even grass in Vermont at this time of year?
Zeolites have the ability to detox heavy metals from our bodies naturally, including radiation heavy metals such as Iodine 131, Cesium 137, and Uranium. Take a look at this recent article regarding Zeolites past uses during nuclear disaster around the globe:
Are we able to tell whether the cesium-137 found in milk in Vermont is from Japan or from the Vermont Yankee Nuclear plant in Vernon, VT?
Jeff – The Institute of BioAcoustic Biology is attempting to set up an early warning system for radiation exposure using vocal profiling. Please check www.SoundHealthOptions.com. There is information about this innovative approach to health and many physician talking about it on YouTube – under Sound Health – The Miracles of non Medicine series is fascinating.
Thank you for the excellent reporting. I started a petition two weeks ago to call for increased oversight of our food and water. Please sign, this is urgenthttp://www.change.org/petitions/urgent-fukushima-radioactive-fallout-food-safety-petition
The emissions of radioactive material continue, so to run this article without an update showing the now accumulated totals is irresponsible and misleading in the amount that is now on our soils and in the air. While I 131 decays quickly, the rest of the isotopes do not and remain a concern for many years. Also talking about radiation effect on the skin is incomplete, as particles settled on plants ,water, and soil will end up being ingested, where harm is greater and exposure continues as long as the particles are internal. There is great efforts to downplay the risks from nuclear power, but the risks continue to increase with every emission. and the isotopes add up.
Hi Jeff -
Have you seen these?
I would love to get your analysis of this.
Jeff reads enenews. He knows what is really happening. Tokyo is panicking and America is taking the slow cowardly way of telling the public. Don't worry. There will be genuine,accessible nuclear scientists on here by Monday to "talk" with Jeff.
Jeff would you like to weigh in on the fact that Tepco themselves have said that there has been continuous leaks in the air, water, and soil for the past over 400 days?
What do your experts say about 400 days worth of continuous radioactive exposure to humans, most particularly children under the age of 4?
Exposure with,per Tepco, no ETA, at all, for containment?
This is combined with the radiation that Americans already deal with on a daily basis.
Would you like to tell everyone why cesium is called the bone seeker?
I don't believe anything these government liars lay claim to , they use false reporting to keep the Citizens in the dark, while protecting themselves and there loved ones. Let them drink the poisoned milk and water, let them croak.
A year has passed, and here are some updated reports of Radiation in the food supply.
Note that none of these results were from agencies tasked to keep us safe (EPA/FDA).
>>> Radiation in BEEF:
>>> Radiation in FISH:
>>> Update on Radiation in MILK:
Iodione-131 at "over 1,500 picocuries per liter" was found in Kansas MILK in April 2011:
>>> Radiation in SEAWEED:
>>> Kudos to the company EDEN FOODS for testing their food for Radiation:
In the fictional novel "Good Till Your Last Breath" by Barry Caulfield, an extremely positive use for Cesium 137 has been discovered and utilized.
Hi Jeff,
This thread is a year old. Can you update us on what's been going on with the situation?
Householdenergy-saving lamps,Start low-carbon lifestyle.
Today , "low-carbonlife" is becoming a new lifestyle . In recent years,it was noticed that there are more and more people begin using energy saving lamp .Even as Some people say that, "it will be a trend,if Energy saving lamps instead of the traditional incandescent . We must attention the promotion of efficient energy-saving lamps.It is the best way to make sure that a high brightness , low power consumption , high luminous efficiency and stability advantages .
Wow, The EPA is now a political tool used to cover up the awful truth: that many US public water systems have been contaminated with radioactive waste. Not hysteria but reality. Buying the fluoride from the lowest bidder that is filed with radio active waste products. Incredulous? Yes, thought that way myself till the Austin Statesman took the challenge of a local radio personality and with city leaders and technicians discovered that at a city water facility the radiation was off the charts. Should have made the national news and taking heads? What happened to the true liberals that use to speak up? The money is good and the Who lyrics are proven true at last…
Scroll through the latest radiation readings in Japan:
2 points to make:
Chernobyl's iodine production did terminate, eventually.
For EPA to be detecting iodine means only one thing: there is ongoing fissioning somewhere in the environment. The most likely place is Fukushima.
Sorry, I only noticed this thread's from 3 years ago .. just now.

S.C. governor admits affair after secret trip
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Gov. Mark Sanford admitted yesterday to having an extramarital affair with an Argentine woman and to lying to South Carolinians to cover up his tryst. Sanford asked them — and his family — for forgiveness.
The two-term South Carolina governor, a rising GOP star, fought tears during a news conference hours after a newspaper reporter from The State surprised him at the Atlanta airport on his way back from seeing the Argentine woman, a mother of two, over the weekend.
Sanford did not respond when asked whether he would resign; spokesman Joel Sawyer later said the governor had no plans to step down.
"I'll lay it out," a solemn, red-eyed Sanford said as he faced a media throng outside his office. "It's going to hurt, and let the chips fall where they may.
"I've been unfaithful to my wife. I've let down a lot of people. That's the bottom line."
Sanford stood alone at a podium. Neither his wife nor their four sons attended.
He apologized to his family, supporters, the faith community and to all South Carolinians.
His secret South American trip prompted national attention after state officials questioned why no one had heard from Sanford for four days, starting last Thursday. Some demanded to know who was in charge of the executive branch.
Sanford, 49, a Bible-quoting social conservative, would not say yesterday whether he and Jenny Sanford, 46, have separated officially.
Later, Jenny Sanford said in a statement that she asked her husband to leave their home near Charleston two weeks ago.
"We reached a point where I felt it was important to look my sons in the eyes and maintain my dignity, self-respect, and my basic sense of right and wrong," she said. "I therefore asked my husband to leave two weeks ago. During this short separation, it was agreed that Mark would not contact us."
In e-mails last summer to an Argentine woman named Maria obtained by The State, Sanford characterized their relationship as a "hopelessly impossible situation of love."
Just after midnight July 10, 2008, he wrote: "You have the ability to give magnificently gentle kisses. . . . I love your tan lines . . . the curves of your hips, the erotic beauty of you holding yourself . . . in the faded glow of night's light."
On July 4, she wrote: "I wasn't aware till we met last week, the strong feelings I had for you. I haven't felt this since I was in my teen ages. I do love you."
Sanford said yesterday he met the Argentine woman — whom he did not name — eight years ago. At one point, he said he counseled her not to give up on her strained marriage for the sake of her sons.
"There is a certain irony to this," Sanford said. "I have let them down in a profound way," he said of his family.
The Sanfords have been in counseling for five months, since the first lady learned of the affair, the governor said.

An Army in Search of a Mission to Fit Its Size
- By Kori SchakeKori Schake is a fellow at the Hoover Institution and contributor to Foreign Policy's Shadow Government blog.
Our Army is really struggling to define its mission and its force structure going forward. With the president and defense secretary having ruled out sizing the force to fight a sustained counterinsurgency, and with intelligence assessments rendering implausible the need for a quick-trigger large-scale land war, the Army is in a bind. It doesn't want to reclama the strategy, but it has yet to offer an argument that justifies the 490,000 active-duty end strength in its Future Years Defense Program. So it is experimenting with amphibious deployments in the Pacific — but America already has a land force optimized to that role and it's by no means clear the Army can best the Marine Corps at its core competency. If the strategy requires more amphibious capability, why not plus up the Marine Corps instead of retool the Army?
That's the argument in a post I wrote for War on the Rocks, a blog that debates defense issues. While the Ryan-Murray budget deal takes some of the pressure off in the near term, the Army really needs to find a persuasive mission for such a large and expensive active-duty force, because if the administration budgets to its strategy, Army end strength will come dramatically down. If I were betting my own money, I'd wager the Marine Corps will enthusiastically support the argument for an expanded expeditionary force and then take the Army's lunch money.

Gear Review
Bullet Proof..
I don't have the most recent version but they don't appear to have changed much.. These pants are great, extremely durable and waterproof. No insulation really so I always wear thermals underneath. Note that the size chart is spot-on for these: I've got a 32" waist and 30" inseam and the size S fits well.

Apple enhances iTunes accessibility features
updated 04:15 pm EDT, Mon September 29, 2008
iTunes accessibility
Apple is adding new accessibility functions to iTunes, including updates to allow it to work with software used by the blind for reading the Internet, according to the Associated Press. Tony Olivero, of the National Federation of the Blind, recently demonstrated the technology at the Perkins School for the Blind. Olivero showed how a voice would read out whatever the mouse pointer was slid over, including file commands and movie, music and TV titles in the iTunes Store.
Massachusetts' Attorney General, Martha Coakley, is said to have approached Apple about making iTunes fully accessible, using voiceover technology developed for Mac OS X Leopard. Apple agreed and is now committed to making iTunes fully accessible by the end of June 2009. Coakley argues that Apple is an industry leader, and that its example may force or lure other companies into following suit.
The new iTunes functions are supported by default on a Mac, but Windows users need to purchase additional software which is expensive, generally costing around $1,000.

Sometimes I get mono-focused on the endgame. It's understandable that it would happen - I like to raid, I'm in a raiding guild, it's what I do. But it misses that there's more to the game than raiding, more than the level 90 experience of getting ready to do stuff. You're always gearing at 90 - getting better gear to run content to get better gear to run other content until you eventually kill the hardest content you possibly can. There's something to be said for the simplicity of leveling - sure, there's gear, but you get it and get rid of it at the drop of a hat (sometimes literally, hats do drop and you do put them on and then get a new hat to drop and put that one on) - it's less important. Or at least it feels less all-important.
So sometimes I roll an alt of a class I'd never play, take it for a 10 to 20 level spin, then delete it. It's fun. It reminds me of how uncomplicated the game can be, if you let it.
