Dear Donor
August 25, 2010
Dear Donor,
I don't know what to say.
The donor program has asked that I remain anonymous, if I write something inappropriate, they will block it out so I won't worry too much about what is and isn't okay to tell you. I live in a beautiful little city an hour and a half from the beach and an hour from skiing. I live in my hometown. I come from a big family. I am a high school and college graduate; I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree. I bought my first house with the gift money my mom gave me for graduating from college. The woman who owned the real estate agency who worked for me when I bought my first home later hired me as a Realtor. I love houses and people and driving around listening to the radio. I am also a musician in a band. I sing and play the drums and I've been learning how to play the guitar for many years.
That said, please let me tell you a little bit about myself. I live in my hometown. I come from a big and happy family where our Christmas celebration includes at least 45 people. My family is very musical. I live in a beautiful city close to the beach and the mountains. I have two gregarious and beautiful dogs and we live just a short walk to a park overlooking the city.
What made you decide to be a donor?
Where do you live?
What do you look like?
What was it like letting them take the blood cells out of you?
How did they notify you that you were a candidate to donate?
Did it hurt?
I know you don't know me but know that I try to be a good person that I love life and feel like I still have a lot to learn and your donation has given me time I would not have had. I wish you could see the happy and hopeful faces of my family and friends as they watch me recover and work on making the best out of my new normal so that you could see that what you gave didn't just have a massive and important affect on my life, you touched many people who (despite my various idiosyncrasys) like me better alive than not!
If you ever want to talk please feel free to call or email me and if not, that is okay too of course. Either way, I hope you take time to consider what a huge difference you made in the life of someone who hopes she can live the rest of her life in a way that illustrates she deserved it! You have shown by your actions what it is to reach out into the world to try to help someone who needs it.
The First Day of the Year
Today is the first day of the year. There's only one first day of the year. It is an annual event and it is not a matter of what you know or who you are or where you are or even (thankfully) why you are. Today is everyone's first day of the year. Well maybe not this very instant but in certain time zones, for sure. This morning I have taken my medication, eaten a baked potato, let the dogs outside, twice. Luna barks every time someone comes to the front door and I yell at her to stop. Mom said "when Luna barks at the door, that's her job, she's a DOG." Live and let live. I'd like to write a song today, I'd like him to come over to watch the game, I'd like to go for a walk and all of that makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. And I might. Why, you may ask, am I 99.7% cancer free AND nauseous? Thank God for my counselor Sara because there is a shit load of processing I have to go through.
Where is my printer? When will my puppy be potty trained? Maybe he just doesn't love me., That can't be true. That makes me cry. Like talking to the Dad who told you he loved you, but you knew, he didn't know you. A gentle reminder to you, gentle reader, I am writing for my own good. I'm not trying to tell or teach you any single thing. I show up here on Day One of the New Year, 2010. Sometimes I cry. This may really be it. I need something I'm not getting. period. Time to make a change. I just can't really LIVE like this. My life feels worse and better than it ever has, on the same day. Day One. Today is the day to live up to my resolution to write 500 words a day and I'm only halfway done with today's post? Eke. Faster, faster, faster it goes. Go, Go, Go.
Now I know why real writers don't want you to see any shitty first draft they ever wrote. Goddamn. I have 147 more words to go. I almost flunked out of high school geometry and were it not for the balding, pudgy, commandeer Mr. Casey who worked all afternoon, the last day of school, so that I could actually "Graduate" who for heaven sakes knows what turn life would have taken. I feel like we've already broken up but I'm the last to know. Is it time to reevaluate our relationship? Do you miss me? Are you seeing someone else? Do you still love me? I'm sorry for how hard it was.
in the shed
tackled to the hill
where you'll be buried
when you're dead
with no more time to kill.
my stomach really hurts and it's hard to see and I'm afraid.
"I have what I need, I need what I have"
It is Christmas Eve day. I am at mom's and her house looks out on her small field full of large animals including two not enormous Nubian goats, a chicken, two emu's, five or so Llamas and several other goats. It is 2:15pm in the afternoon and the sunlight filters through the branches of the cedar tree next to the field. The sky is bright blue and the air is crisp and cold. I just spent some time looking through the many cards I've been given over the last year and I got choked up, as I sometimes do, when I think about life and the living of it. I told me with a teary face that I needed to go take a nap, came up to her room where she lets me sleep and she hugged me so tight and I don't know how she does it but she does. She gives me strength when it shows on my face that living with illness kind of hurts. It doesn't always hurt and it is true that it could almost always be worse, that we live and we learn, that "attitude determines latitude" as some wise folks have shown. I am 99.7% cancer free. Moving in the right direction, toward being cured and while it is not a perfect picture and a rather bitter pill, I am alive and kicking.
6:14 am Christmas morning. Seems like I have been waking up early morning every year of Christmas and again, this year I feel the inner elation of the anticipation of getting and, even better, giving. Good news. My dream last night was about a place where people were staying and going to (I think Australia). Mom has a house full of pets this Christmas. Three cats, one dog and a puppy roam around her house happy, healthy, wealthy and wise. I love Christmas.
It is 8am on Christmas morning. Daisy, mom's light cream kitty is lying next to me in mom's bed purring licking her legs and the tips of her feet. Rusty who is Daisy's brother is sort of rust color with stately patches of fluffy white. He was a regular sweet kitty and now he is Huge. He is also giving his belly a bath on the left corner of the bed. I said a prayer out loud to whom I've always prayed. I felt the presence. I felt grateful for the sky and trees and warm blankets. I felt inspired at the world we live in and the lives that we live through. I'm not sure any of us have the absolute answer but we are supplied with the endless push and pull where the ocean meets the sand. My hope for this day today is just that I spend today in today.
Written Christmas 2009Comment
One Day At A Time
Today is Saturday the 3rd and Gia asked me to come over. Liz asked if she could come over. The Music room needs work. It is only 8:45 a.m. and I'm already dreading the day. Why? Because I don't feel great? Because I'm lonely? Maybe it is because I am ashamed of having cancer. Of being ill. But then, what are you going to do?
It is 7 a.m. or so in the morning of the 4th, that leaves me a little under a thousand words to fill in yesterday and today, daunting but doable. Yesterday I woke up feeling tired still and slightly lonely. My stomach was queasy. I called Thorne Ann and she agreed to come help with the house. I went back to bed. Some parts of me felt depressed. It seems the most reasonable approach to dealing with a dark day is to just take it one day at a time. One second, one minute. It doesn't all have to feel exciting and bright and it doesn't all have to feel like the end of the world. There is mystery in love and there is love and the more you know the more you know you don't know anything. I think my dreams last night were not horrible. My mind is going at one speed and my body at another. The importance of hope but not be understood by those of us who've never not had it. Although it seems that culturally, it is part of our design. As the story goes, they live happily ever after. When the end of life has come for ourselves or someone we love, we hope for heaven, for peace of mind or, for some of us, just a change from what we've experienced in this life.

Diagnosis "Favorable"
She woke up early, it was going to be a long day. By 8am her mom was there, cooking in the kitchen, keeping her hands busy. Together, they waited through a cold December morning and into the early afternoon. Finally, sometime in the very middle of the day she just decided it would be better to call than to be called and when she did, after being put on hold by a well meaning and totally unhelpful administrative assistant, the Pathologist picked up the phone at a desk somewhere she would never see and he called the diagnosis "favorable" and this was immediately incomprehensible to her. It would never have occurred to her to characterize any sort of cancerous- ness as favorable and so, she hung up the phone where she sat up in bed still achy from the biopsy stitches and the world fell away and she wasn't stoned anymore so if fell away hard and fast. And after 33 years of working on it, she had completely lost who she thought she had become and she did not understand life even a little and, despite the sickening diagnosis of a life threatening illness which saddened her in a places heretofore hidden away- she wished for a moment she were dead. It was simply a very, very sad afternoon. A total disappointment.
Earlier in the week, as they anticipated the results with hopeful abandon, she had called it "the friendliest case of cancer" that ever was- if it was at all. It hadn't let on a bit. No weight loss. No unusual infections, illnesses. Successful yearly check ups, hours at the gym, no significant family history of illness. Not a whisper of what was to come.
No Plot, No Problem Last Page
Girl is born. Father, black American. Mother, white American. Late 1960's. Late. She sings, the little light skinned one. She is drawn toward languages and people with character. Her laugh is loud and during college she experienced a deep bias against girls who ate mainly salad. This gave her pause and angered her. Eat some fucking food, she might think or sometimes say. The competition in a (I almost said boarding house) sorority house is keen. Smiling, tugging cowboy boots up not quite under the bottom of a mini-skirt. Charming and lethal and steely, a casteless masquerade. Hopeless late night songs, trampling steps toward the phone. Oh, the wai, ai, ting, Tom Petty sings, is the hardest part. Then, or later, the shock of bodies loudly brushing up against itself. The breathing a frenetic dance between voluntary and, involuntary. With any luck at all, a full moon or a dark night, there would be less than a little thinking. Just woozy and amorous. More college. More men. Exotic locations and black cars. Long soundtracks and puckery first time experiences. Hangovers and hordes of fried food. Predictable and delicious. Here she sits at the real estate desk at 33 wondering about it. Still unaware of herself settling instead for a compulsory education in personality. How to assume one and with whom. All of this is plot. Or is it?Comment
That Ever Present Inner Voice
Following my inner voice used to be easier but things are starting to heat up between us. And while I don't doubt for a moment the truthfulness of what it's telling me or the notion that the harder it is for me to do what I know I should, the more important it is for me to do just that, I'm still more than a little put off. And following my bliss, that's getting trickier too. Not so much for feeling indulgent but because the price of following my bliss will be paid, in part, with tears. There will be joy and sacrifice. And so the cycle will continue. The cycle of growth. And ultimately, the gentle irony of letting go of what listening to that inner voice got me, will come to pass. Never has this been more true than with my house. My home.
Eight years ago or so, when I got the call from a relative of that the old house, I'd known as a child, was going on the market and my help as a Realtor was needed, I knew right away I would be the new owner. Even before I came to it again and saw the wear of many unkind years I remembered the look of the light through the windows and the memory of Sunday afternoons in summer here in this bungalow. And, when people came to look at it and wondered out loud, and sometimes with sincere fright, why I would want to do so much work. How would I manage it all? What had gotten into me? It was my inner voice that gave me told me there really was no choice in it. "Dive in," it said.
And dive I did, and, in no place with more purpose than in the dining room. I just had to. Because my inner voice said so and she wouldn't can it until the work began. White paint covering the wood built-ins hutches, flanking the door to the kitchen, and the three sided bay window whose leaded glass sun let the real thing through to caste rainbow circles all over the place and box beams against the 9' ceiling and fancy wainscot skirting below had chipped with each bump. Yellowed a little every year for many years. Twenty-five maybe. There was no lightness there. It was heavy and sad because it was beautiful underneath it's own history.
So first with a heat gun the thick layer of paint melted away and fell to the floor in warm curled up pieces. Throughout that summer the heat gun hummed and the paint fell away a small section at at time. It was fun but too much of any one kind of fun is, well, less fun. By fall though most of the white was now a sticky looking brown.
Soon all the white was gone and the wood could breath but it was still sickly and sad. About this time, I wasn't very pleased with my inner voice. It seemed to have lead me down a path that was too long. However alluring the promise of completion, the reality of the work required things of me I wasn't sure I had enough of. Namely patience. Several months into the process working several nights a week with nobody in their right or wrong mind willing to help save a boyfriend who had come and gone and really only helped because what else could he do without looking like the worst boyfriend I'd ever had. And my mother who probably would have been at my brother or sister's house (poking fun at my wild ideas and foolishness) had I had any. But being her one and only meant she had one and only place to go to get that mother love fix that comes when a momma is with her baby. She came like a trooper after declaring (quite seriously and very uncharacteristically as she is almost always the epitomy of supportive) that I could take on such a mammoth undertaking "over her dead body." She came in the evenings and side by side we worked and I wonder now what on earth her inner voice was telling her all that while.
By spring, opening the windows was not only pleasant, it helped keep the toxic fumes of chemical stripper from completely overtaking our lungs and corrupting any hope of level headedness. And the work continued. Like the utensils and cookware of any good cook: ladders for climbing, dental tools for picking out specs of paint that hadn't gotten the message, steel wool and paint coated thick gloves which couldn't totally prevent the sting of stripper on skin, lay spread over the room. A giant recipe being made on the walls and me, mom, my inner voice and my dining room, yet to be dined in, but not through after eight months together.
Maybe I wasn't as impatient as I'd thought. How could I be? A really impatient person would have burned the house down. And maybe it was around this time I started to bargain with my inner voice. I started to make earnest deals that included never having to leave this house for the rest of my life. I remedy my pain by proposing that I be allowed to stay there to guard the grains of wood. After all, why else would I be doing something so crazy. Surely this meant forever. And believing in forever spurned me on and the feeling of being a complete freak of renovating nature subsided.
And then summer was here again and the days got long and the task seemed to have and end that I could see. And at night as the sun set and the music played there was a spring in my step. A sense of goodness. More than the cold beer I sipped while stepping back to admire real progress or the fantasy (one day to be reality) of folks coming from far and wide to admire good work while I smiled with humble confidence in a job done well. It was just a sense of goodness in that time and place and I thanked my inner voice because it seemed so wise to me.
By fall the first coats of stain began to tell the story of beauty restored and it was marvelous to watch. And then a second coat all the way around. And then on Thanksgiving day, more that a year after the task at hand had begun, the last lick of varythane went on and when mom came through the door and saw the table set and the warm glow of the wood all around the room, she cried those proud motherly tears and it was good. Thanksgiving it was.
There are more stories of this house. Of painting it and patching it and watching it for clues of how to make it better and of the yard that still calls to me for love and time and money wanting to be given a make-over too like the house it holds.
But inside I hear of other plans now. I hear it when I think of my bliss and where it would have me next. It is not found in this house anymore. It tells me it's time to go even when it knows that this isn't what I bargained for. I thought I was going to get to stay because I'd done the work. The house that scared some people was admired and in it's glow, I shined. I thought I had earned my permanent place here. Instead, what I found constant was the courage to do more listening. Maybe I could live without that kind of courage I think to myself. But what sort of life would that be for me? Where would I be today if this was how I'd chosen to make choices. Fearfully. Tentatively and in accordance with the well meaning expectations of others.
Well, maybe the voice I heard back then has been in some random accident and is laying somewhere warm and safe but unable to move trying to crawl back to tell me that the voice I'm hearing now is not the authentic one and will ruin all promise of a real future if I listen to it's crazy talk. I wish.
I wish because following my bliss is risky business and I think I thought I only had to feel real risk while I was younger, less experienced and with nothing but a '77 Green Mustang and a set of used silverware to loose. The stakes are higher all the way around but it's the same game. More to gain and more to lose but really only one way to play. The philosophy that got me into this great big gorgeous house is about to get me out and not many people, least of all me on some days, thinks it's a swell idea. But then, they seldom do.
That's just it. Right now I'm listening but not agreeing and I don't have to, yet. I'm following my bliss but I'm certainly scared to pieces. I'm certain that I need to move forward but sure it will be sad looking back.
And my house. My home. What about us after all? We love each other. I've loved it and it's loved me back. I took care of it and now it's taking care of me back. It will give me everything I need to the my new chapter of my life. It's setting me free. I haven't left yet. I'm still listening. Some days I ask questions and wait for answers. Yesterday it came on TV with a guy on OPB who said, as I turned up the volume, "Follow your bliss."
I know I'll know when it's time. Just like I knew I had to own this house and work on that dining room. I suspect what I'll come to experience too is the feeling that "wherever you go, there you are." I may not be in my house as my new life unfolds but it will surely be in me. Just like that ever present inner voice. My wisdom. My burden. My friend.

Afghanistan has one of the highest proportions of young people in the world – many of whom have known only war. The median age of the population is 15.6 years old, the median age of marriage is 18, and half of mothers surveyed during a country-wide mortality survey had their first child when they were teenagers.

33 year old man | Falconer, NY, USA | Seeking women 27-37 within 50 miles
I HAVE a girlfriend who is amazing... Yet I still have this account...
Family and friends really gotta be the most important thing of all. I am pretty happy just looking to get out there and find a good hearted honest woman. Obviously must be into children probably a lil more than yourself that would be a good way to be. She must just be a good mix of old-fashion and kinda modern in her personality. A woman who actually enjoys taking care of a family and doesn't find it to be like a job everyday. She has to be understanding and had the whole big party stage out of her system and is ready to settle down in life. I enjoy going out every once in awhile so I can connect with the woman I am with. The whole going out once in awhile together makes our relationship feel a lil more real that we are connected to one another. I have my two girls in my life and they are 7 and 1 so, they are the biggest part of me and they must be included in the whole package otherwise this is not going to work at all. Well there is nothing else to say at this time so let's communicate and let the good times start.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Video games , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Martial arts
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I like cats and dogs mainly, only I am allergic to dogs so can't really have any.
Middle of the Road
Music really is wide open for me. I will say hard rock probably a the favorite but music is really just plain good just about all of it.
Just about anything to be honest not hard to please.

- UN Resident Coordinator (RC) Robert Watkins recently visited the "Baro Bari" village of Dakkin Bedkashi Union of Koyra in Khulna district located in the southwest part of Bangladesh. Pauline Tamesis, Country Director of UNDP, Khurshid Alam, Assistant Country Director of UNDP and Sifayet Ullah , programme Analyst of UNDP accompanied him. The mission was facilitated by Ezabat Ullah, Field Coordinator Early Recovery Facility (ERF). During the visit the RC met with families from this vulnerable community who have received support from UNDP's ERF project such as core family shelter and sanitary latrine, small pond for rainwater harvesting, capacity building training, facilities for safe drinking water through deep tube-well along with cash support for income generation activities. The beneficiaries told the visiting mission about their improved condition since receiving the support. Later, the team participated in a consultation meeting held at "Jurshing" village of Dakkin Bedkashi union. Around 40 villagers, mostly women joined the discussion. During the consultation meeting Mr. Watkins asked about the support from ERF after cyclone Aila. Every one expressed their satisfaction with ERF support. The villagers informed the UN mission that the embankment constructed by UNDP has been protecting the village from tidal surge. The villagers also informed that they are now more aware and knowledgeable as they received training from the project. So far the ERF project has trained 600 families on water-based livelihood management along with providing cash grant for 600 beneficiary families to initiate feasible/appropriate livelihood options at the Dakkin Bedkashi union of Koyra.

Product Reviews
07/27/2012By scasenave
Pretty spurs, just a little lighter weight than I expected. Color is also more of a dark rust/red color rather than a true black. My daughter should really like these spurs, bought as Christmas gift for her.
07/27/2012By Courtney
Ive had these spurs since May of 2010. I used them in the summer to show and around the barn to ride. They rusted within a couple weeks. It isnt horrible but you can tell they are rusted when you hold them. They rusted aroound the spur clip the most and on the black sections where the silver meets. They ride just fine and are good at a low price.

It's safe to say that Week 5 was not kind to all of last season's dozen playoff teams…but not without good reason.
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks both lost their first games of 2013. On the plus side, those setbacks came via the Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts, respectively, a pair of postseason participants a year ago.

Darius Paul scored 28 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, both highs for the freshman forward, as Western Michigan defeated Toledo 65-62 Wednesday night. The victory gave the Broncos (18-9, 9-4) sole possession of first place in the Mid-American Conference's West Division, breaking a tie with the Rockets (13-12, 8-5). Consecutive baskets by Nate Hutcheson, Paul and David Brown gave Western Michigan a 62-58 lead with 2:29 remaining, and Hutcheson's two free throws made it 65-62 with 26 seconds left. After Julius Brown missed a 3-pointer for Toledo, two missed free throws by Shayne Whittington gave the Rockets one more chance, but Dominique Buckley misfired on a final 3-point try. David Brown scored all 15 of his points for Western Michigan in the second half, when the Broncos outrebounded the Rockets 24-14. Reese Holliday scored 16 points, Julius Brown 15 and Rian Pearson 14 for Toledo.

The Department of Energy issued its conditional approval for a liquefied natural gas export terminal in Oregon on March 24. This marks the seventh overall LNG export terminal to receive the regulatory green light, and the first on the west coast. The Jordan Cove export terminal would be situated near Coos Bay Oregon, and would allow the export of 0.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. It still needs other regulatory and environmental permits before it can be constructed. The Jordon Cove terminal would export a mix of Canadian and U.S. natural gas, and would be in a much better position to reach lucrative Asian markets than competing projects on the Gulf Coast.
Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who has been consistently cautious when it comes to LNG exports, praised the move. "This announcement is exactly what Coos Bay, North Bend and America need: new jobs and new investment, while factoring in a changed geopolitical landscape through a case-by-case process," he said in a statement. "Priority one for me has always been ensuring American jobs and employers see the full benefits of the natural gas renaissance. The Department of Energy must monitor markets closely and be prepared to adjust course should any threat to American jobs or energy security emerge." His support may be because the project is located in his home state, but it is still very notable. He has been a powerful voice arguing for a slow process that would allow LNG exports to hit a "sweet spot" – allow some exports without leading to higher natural gas prices for consumers.
The approval comes at a time of heightened pressure on the administration to accelerate permit approvals for LNG export terminals to undermine Russia's geopolitical influence in Europe. Despite the fact that none will be built in the near future, industry groups supporting freer exports and their allies in Congress are using the brewing Ukrainian crisis to justify a swift liberalization of LNG trade.
On March 25, energy committees in both the House and the Senate held hearings on LNG exports. The House Energy Committee analyzed legislation that would allow LNG exports without the need for government approval to any country that is part of the World Trade Organization. That measure would essentially eliminate DOE's authority over the issue, as the WTO has 159 member countries, including all of which that could realistically import LNG.
On the Senate side, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee held a hearing with Lithuania's Energy Minister Jaroslav Neverovic, a country that has expressed interest in greater American LNG. "Accelerating America's entry into the global natural gas market is a win-win-win situation," Neverovic said in his prepared testimony. "America wins through job creation, economic growth and more revenues for government. Customers across Europe win by access to more competitive, clean-burning U.S. natural gas. And strategic cooperation of NATO allies would be strengthened."
The hearing was also the first one in which Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) presided over as Chair. She is a major proponent of the oil and gas industry, and has picked up the mantle of pushing for greater LNG and crude oil exports. With her and Ranking Member Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) working in unison on the issue, coupled with what appears to be Sen. Wyden's acquiescence (at least based on his praise for the latest permit approval), the issue of LNG exports is gaining significant traction. Before the crisis in Ukraine broke out several weeks ago, it was unclear which side would prevail on the issue. Now, it appears to be a foregone conclusion that the U.S. will allow companies to move forward with exports. The bigger question is whether or not it will be profitable to do so.
Yet, the issue is still the warm-up round for what will be a much bigger fight – over whether or not to allow crude oil exports. That will be a much tougher battle to wage for export supporters, but they are certainly making headway.

What documents do I need when collecting my rental car at the CarDelMar counter?
You must have a driving license in your name from your home country Type 3 and/or Type B (Euro-Standard). The licence must be valid in the country of rental. Licences that are not valid in the country of rental must be accompanied by an international licence. In most countries, it is mandatory for the driver to have held a valid driving licence for a least one year. Some countries require the driver to have held a driving licence for at least three years. In addition, the driver must present a valid passport/identity card and a credit card in his or her name. A driving licence and identification must also be presented for any additional drivers.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: In the UK, it is not sufficient to show only the card part of the licence to retrieve the vehicle. The driving licence must be accompanied by its paper counterpart. The paper counterpart is never acceptable on its own and under UK law both parts need to be presented at the hire station when collecting the vehicle.

HBO's taped broadcast of the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony debuts at 8 p.m. ET Saturday (May 31), winnowing the lengthy show down to a still-generous three hours and 15 minutes of highlights from the April 10 ceremony at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, including portions of all the induction and acceptance speeches. Musical performances include: Peter Gabriel doing "Washing of the Water" with Coldplay's Chris Martin, who spoke about his love for the song in his induction speech, and "In Your Eyes" with Youssou N'Dour; the full Linda Ronstadt tribute with Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood and the Eagles' Glenn Frey covering "Different Drum," "Blue Bayou," "You're No Good," "It's So Easy" and "When Will I Be Loved;" Cat Stevens performing part of "Father and Son," "Wild World" and a choir-assisted "Peace Train;" Hall & Oates delivering "She's Gone" and "You Make My Dreams;" and Bruce Springsteen leading the E Street Band through "The E Street Shuffle" and "Kitty's Back." KISS did not perform but the special captures Tom Morello's galvanizing induction speech and the four original members' gracious acceptances, and Peter Asher honors Beatles manager Brian Epstein and Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham with brief remarks. The show ends with Nirvana's four-song reunion performance with a different female singer for each number. The special will air throughout June on HBO and HBO2.

Intensely Toned 1900 Lafayette Dollar, MS671900 $1 Lafayette Dollar MS67 NGC. DuVall 2-C. Charles Barber, designer of the Lafayette dollar, was proud of his work as an engraver, and often pointed to his years of expertise in an official capacity when engaged in one of his many disputes with several different outside artists over technical specifications for new designs. In this sense, the Lafayette dollar represents something of a failure for the chief engraver, since neither side, especially not the reverse, exhibits full highpoint detail on any example. A particular point of trouble is the mounted Lafayette's boot, which is demarcated from his trousers only rarely and never rounded. While the minting process for the only classic commemorative silver dollar was hastily executed, it is a criticism of Barber that his work likely would have failed to strike up satisfactorily even under optimal conditions.
This exquisitely preserved Lafayette dollar exhibits above-average detail and powerful luster beneath distinctive and variegated patina. An outer ring of pale emerald surrounds an ocean-blue and amethyst center laced with thin streaks of orange, while the reverse is predominantly sky-blue with splashes of russet-violet at the rims and the horse's head. Aside from a fingerprint in the right reverse field, the surfaces are practically flawless, with none of the abrasions found so often on the portraits or the statue. A wonderful example that is worthy of the finest collection. One of just eight examples graded MS67 by NGC, with only five certified at that level by PCGS, and no coins finer at either service (11/08).(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 28N8, PCGS# 9222)

Believe you can and you are half way there
It sure is challenging to verbally paint a picture of yourself, do so in the best light possible, yet keep it real! Here goes...most people say I am easy going, quick with a smile, and always look for the good in everyone. I am loyal to a fault, normally give the benefit of the doubt, and try to look after the needs of others before my own. I have a successful job that I enjoy, wonderful siblings that I spend a great deal of time with, and a small, close knit group of friends that I can call on for anything. I am both mom and dad to two wonderful little girls. Yes, it can be challenging, but I always find coming home to their little smiles well worth it. I guess you can say I am a "family man" through and through...career, accolades...it is great and I strive for it all, but family is most important to me. While I am not an "exercise junkie," I am active and try to get some physical activity in 4-5 times a week. I tend to get bored with one type of workout, so I try and mix it up. Right now I am training for a sprint triathlon, but the swimming is killing me! I believe in giving back to the community I live in and do so by volunteering through several civic groups, as well as my church. Church is a large part of my life; while I attempt to live my life by the teachings in the Bible, I unfortunately fall short daily...for me living a life of Faith is truly a journey with lots of mountains and valleys. This is "my first rodeo" in attempting the internet dating game, and I am not sure what to expect. What I hope to do is meet someone that can be a good friend, and then see if there is potential for more; ultimately I hope to find my best friend. If any of this sounds appealing please send me a message! I look foward to meeting you.

Fuel Pump Fail
The fuel pump on the 950 adventure is based on contact points which close a circuit to fire a solenoid pushing a membrane in and out sucking and pushing fuel through the pump (with the help of one way valves like your heart) to your carbs.
The current flowing in the contact points is quite large and eventually electrically "burns" the points away to the point of failure. This can happened anywhere from 0 to tens of thousands of miles but will eventually happen. I pulled my pump to inspect at 10K miles and they were already very worn down.
Your do not have to buy another new pump and have 4 main options:
1. buy new contacts and replace - requires a bit of soldering.
2. Replace with a vacuum style pump which does not use points.
3. Bypass large current in points with a FET Diode
4. use Dr Bean optical switch kit
#1 is moderate cost but will fail again at some point.
Contact point can be purpased at:
#3 is the cheapest cost and requires some soldering skills but is not very tough. Should only be done with points in good condition as it still uses them.
#4 Dr Bean kits is less work and very nicely built with great instructions.
#2 is the most cost and work but many have had success.
I have tried #3 and #4 and they both work great.

Airmail arrows in concrete
There's an email currently circulating that explains a series of HUGE concrete arrows laid out across the country. They were to guide airmail pilots as they flew across country. The email link has pictures of some of them. I think they need a bike parked on them. Any interest? :ear
Were can one find one of these arrows?
Luckily I don't appear to be the only one to see the message. I'm hindered working on my phone right now. I hadn't thought of searching Google maps.

I should to be in St. Geo next month, i'll have to go find this(RedRockRider & StG, you listening?):ear
Great history on the arrows that I never knew about, thanks for sharing this.
Tapped out by Pat
Good idea.
I'll try to contribute! Hope to get plenty of pics for ya.
If you want a good read, pick up a book called "Mavericks of the Sky". It's about the first pilots and routes of the airmail service, very good book, for pilots and non-pilots alike.
The airmail system was developed as a way to teach pilots to navigate as they were constantly getting lost over in Europe in WWI, then would run out of gas or get shot down.
The book's a nail biter and comedy at the same time. :1drink
What a cool piece of forgotten history! I've never heard of these, but it must have have been quite a project in its time. Thanks for sharing.
Like someone posted in one of the forums, I wonder if sometime far in the future when our civilization has returned to the dust, will future inhabitants find these arrows and wonder what they were for? Kind of like the figures on Easter Island or Stonehenge? :huh
Then they will find an old KLR and they will understand everything.
If they find a BMW they will likely give up and look for intelligent life elsewhere.
Thanx for tossin this up.... now I can spend countless tag hours trying to find one...:rofl
It seems from everything I am coming up with, that the furthest east one would be in the cleveland oh area, my location..... during wwII they began eradicating the ones off the coast, as a protective measure against air attacks... go figger.
I'll be in contact with the air museum here shortly attempting to get some locations, I'm sure it will be the only way to find them, but it gives me an excuse to go there, ain't been there for 45 years...:deal:lol3

I need to run gnome-terminal in Cygwin in Windows environment. Gnome-terminal doesn't seem come with default Cygwin installation. I couldn't find documentation on how to install it. Does any one have idea?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The easiest way to go about this is probably to use the Cygwin Ports project's repository. The installation instructions include a cryptic command line, but it's not too bad.
Dennis is right through; expect to install a lot of dependencies. If you want something with roughly the same functionality as Gnome Terminal but doesn't depend on so many things, you might look at Sakura.
If you run into trouble with that, an alternative might be to try CoLinux, which runs a Linux distribution seamlessly with Windows in a fast virtual machine.

LucidLogix Announces XLR8 Tech To Improve Embedded and SoC GPU Performance
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | January 11, 2012 - 03:48 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: virtualization, tegra, Lucidlogix, gpu, gaming, game, embedded, CES2012, CES
Earlier today Lucid (LucidLogix), the company behind quite a few GPU virtualization technologies, announced yet another piece of GPU virtualization software. This time; however, instead of wrangling as much performance as possible from multi-GPU beasts, this technology- codenamed "XLR8"- is aimed at the mobile market of tablets, smartphones, and laptops with integrated graphics. Such products are powered by integrated GPUs in AMD's APUs and Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors, and by the GPUs in mobile SoCs (system on a chip) like Nvidia's Tegra and ARM's Mali graphics processors. XLR8 uses "unique CPU multithreading" to feed the mobile GPUs as efficiently as possible.
According to Lucid, many of the PC graphics issues are magnified when it comes to embedded GPUS including visual tearing, pipeline inefficiencies, power management, and artifacting. Offir Remez, president of Lucid further stated that most of the big, popular PC games have playability issues on mobile platforms and on computers with integrated graphics. "If it's got a GPU, we can improve the end user experience."
The company further expanded that the XLR8 technology works by disabling unnecessary and redundant processes in addition to "unique multithreading" to improve system (gaming) responsiveness up to 200 percent. The XLR8 software monitors battery drain and power draw while shutting down background processes to increase CPU frame generation and minimizing redundant GPU rendering processes.
If this sounds a lot like marketing speak, it certainly does. On the other hand, Lucid has been able to push some useful virtualization technology into desktops, so maybe mobile platforms are just the next step for the company. The company is currently demonstrating the XLR8 software in private at CES and is being tested by hardware partners. Mobile SoC are getting faster and more powerful, and on battery powered devices there is always room for efficiency improvements. Once reviewers manage to get their hands on some actual hardware, and XLR8 is past the concept/testing stage you can bet that people will have a better understanding of what exactly XLR8 is capable of.

AMD Radeon HD 7900 PCB Pictures Leak To Web
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 21, 2011 - 07:26 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: amd, 7900, radeon hd, tahiti, gpu, pcb
Tech Power Up managed to get their hands on a couple photos of the PCBs used in the upcoming AMD Radeon HD 7900 series graphics cards. The blue boards show the traces and connectors that will eventually house the memory chips, graphics processor, capacitors, PCI-E power and video out connections (among others). This particular PCB is allegedly the "cost effective" version that is an alternative for Add-In-Board partners (for example: Sapphire, HIS, and XFX) so that they can offer lower cost cards.
The naked boards feature spots for two DVI, one HDMI, and one Display Port connector, although graphics card manufacturers do not have to include all of the connectors enabling low profile HTPC friendly versions. Further, the PCB features connections for an 8+2 analog VRM (voltage regulators), 12 memory chips, and two 8 pin PCI-E power connectors.
Keep in mind that this PCB is merely a reference design and may not be used in all Tahiti cards. AMD has given its partners free reign to design their own PCBs for the 7950 graphics cards. On the 7970 card; however, the cost effective reference design may well be used in many third party 7970 cards as an alternative to the main 7970 board design.
I suppose we will just have to wait until tomorrow for the official launch to learn more about the new cards. However, being so close to the launch date, the photos are likely representative of the actual PCB design. More photos can be found here.
Just because you gave your GPU new clothes doesn't mean we won't notice it is the same inside
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 20, 2011 - 03:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

Rebranding and rebadging is becoming a very bad habit for both major GPU manufacturers. It is fair to imply that NVIDIA was the first to start doing so on a regular basis but AMD has noticed that they have successfully managed it on several different chip families and has since joined in on crushing enthusiasts hopes in the holy name of the profit margin. On the other hand, with the financial difficulties that both companies are experiencing it is a viable strategy no matter how much enthusiasts dislike the practice.
Just two weeks ago we received information about the mobile chips from NVIDIA and AMD and the news was not good. From AMD we have rebranded Turks and Caicos chips with improved clock speeds but the same base technology already on the market. NVIDIA didn't even go that far and released the exact same chips as the previous generation, under new names.
We have heard rumours that AMD will also be applying that marketing strategy to at least some of the upcoming HD 7xxx series cards but thanks to a link from VR-Zone we know where the new chips will start. The HD7770 will feature Graphics Core Next and a 128-bit memory interface, replacing the ageing Juniper chips. As far as power there seems to be only a single PCIe 6 pin connector needed, which should keep the power draw to around 100W. If you are planning on picking a new AMD card when they arrive on the market ensure you do not look lower in the family as you will be picking up a rebranded card.
There was also a leak on the NVIDIA side today, with a single slide marked for internal use only appearing at a site called EXP Review. These types of slides and the benchmarks on them should always be taken with at least your daily allowance of sodium, if not more as the rules for what optimizations can be done to the benchmarks are very different for internal testing. They do show a nice performance difference, the GTX780 ranges from 190% to 230% of the performance of a GTX580. Astute readers will immediately start wondering what happened to the GTX6xx family, as according to this slide NVIDIA seems to be skipping an entire series with Kepler. Perhaps that is where rebranded Fermi chips could find a niche?
The coming year looks dangerous for GPU buyers, with older cards masquerading as newer models, thanks to AMD mixing VLIW4/5 cards with GCN cards and NVIDIA's suspicious naming scheme. While we have a bit of information about AMD's new cards, no indication of their performance has tipped up on the net. If NVIDIA's benchmarks are even close to reality a doubling of performance in a single generation would be a coup for them, as that type of increase in such a short time is almost unheard of. Then again, NVIDIA has been working on this architecture for a long while now. We will find out more over the coming months as both products come closer to their first appearance on the market, likely by the end of Q1.
A milquetoast reception to the next generation of GPUs
Subject: General Tech | October 26, 2011 - 11:56 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gpu, amd, nvidia, southern islands, kepler, TSMC, 28nm
While most enthusiasts are living up to the name as far as the build up to the coming GPU refreshes from both AMD and NVIDIA is concerned, the manufacturers are quite the opposite. There are several probable reasons for this attitude, not least of which are the number of HD 6570s and GTS 450s that are still in their stock. Remember those cards from back in the spring of this year, which were the high end of a huge range of GPUs from both companies spanning $20 to either side of $100? Think that with the current generation of Llano and SandyBridge that any knowledgeable person is going to purchase one, let alone when you consider how close the release of next generation of APUs is? The two major players in the discrete GPU market not only updated the top end of their cards quickly over the past several quarters there was a widening of the market which saw current generation cards available from ~$75 to ~$750 with some segments separated by as little as $10. That translates to huge inventories at the manufacturer level which they then have to convince resellers and retailers to purchase for stock to sell to the consumer and many of those cards are still sitting there collecting dust. No wonder these same companies are leery of purchasing more stock before finding a way to recover some profit from the stock they have now.
To make things even worse there exist doubts about the 28nm process from TSMC, which DigiTimes discusses here. While AMD is still claiming delivery of HD7000 family cards before the coming year, the troubles that NVIDIA seems to be having with the same process concerns those who need to be able to buy large volumes of chips in order to turn a profit selling graphics cards. Even worse is the realization that the first cards NVIDIA will be releasing are simply a die shrink, without architectural changes. When two companies go to the same source for the same thing and one reports getting apple cider and the other apple vinegar, you really have to start to wonder what is really going on.
"While Nvidia and AMD are poised to use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) 28nm technology to produce the GPUs Kepler and Southern Islands respectively, most Taiwan-based graphics card makers hold a conservative attitude about the new GPUs with some makers cautiously watching the market status before making any further decisions, according to industry sources.
Compared to the makers' eagerness for the previous-generation GPUs, graphics card makers are rather conservative about the upcoming 28nm chips due to concerns such as TSMC's weak 40nm process yield rate issues may re-occur in its 28nm process and weakening demand for graphics cards and lower-than-expected gross margins."

AMD May Release 28nm 7000 HD Series GPU In December
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 15, 2011 - 12:34 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: amd, gpu, graphics card, southern islands, HD 7000
Tom's Hardware reports that a source within AMD has indicated that the company may release their upcoming Southern Islands GPU earlier than expected. Previous rumors suggested that AMD would have their performance desktop graphics cards out in the first quarter of 2012 with the lower clocked and mobile processors coming out a bit sooner than that.
If this new information turns out to be true, we may be seeing the high performance desktop graphics cards released in limited quantities of 7000 to 10,000 units in December with a full rollout of the company's 28nm graphics card lineup in the months following. Specifically, the first cards may be available as soon as December 6th, 2011. It remains to be seen whether or not the lower power cards will still be released before the high performance desktop cards.
Personally, I'm interested to see how AMD's approach with their Southern Islands GPU will match up against Nvidia's current and future (more) general purpose computing design. Are you excited for Southern Islands?
Ukrainian Retailer "Fixer" Leaks Bulldozer FX-8120 CPU
Subject: Processors | October 7, 2011 - 06:44 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zambezi, gpu, cpu, bulldozer, amd, 9 core
It is less than a week before Bulldozer's official launch (October 12th), and it would seem that a Ukrainian retailer was not able to wait as it leaked AMD's FX-8120 Bulldozer processor in a price list. The 32nm chip is stated to have eight cores running at 3.1 GHz, 8 MB L2 cache, and 8MB of L3 cache. Further, the core stepping is said to be B2 and is comprised of Zambezi processing cores. The FX-8120 has a 95W TDP and is compatible with motherboards from the AM3+ series and newer.
The processor is listed as model number FD8120FRGUBOX, and carries a price of $221 USD or 1,791 UAH. The website is currently listing October 10th; however, it is not clear if customers will be able to purchase the processor that day by the pricing page alone. If the leaked benchmarks turn out to be close to the truth, would you consider the FX-8120 a good value?

GPU-Z Releases Version 0.5.5 With Improved Support for AMD and Nvidia Graphics Cards
Subject: General Tech | September 6, 2011 - 01:32 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: gpu, hardware, Utility, windows, amd, Intel, nvidia
GPU-Z is a fine little Windows utility that, much like its CPU-Z brethren, can tell you all sorts of useful information about your graphics sub-system. The lightweight program does not require a restart, and weighs in at 922 KB. GPU-Z is distributed by TechPowerUp, and is now officially on it's 0.5.5 version.
The new version adds support for a slew of AMD and Nvidia graphics cards, improved support for BIOS identification, and a new tab for a giveaway by graphics card vendor PowerColor. On the AMD front, the new version adds support for the companies line of A-Series APU graphics cores, AMD's mobile cayman GPU "Blackcomb," and various FirePro cards including the V8000, V3700, and 2460 (FireMV). On the Nvidia side of things, the new version adds support for the GeForce GT 530, GT 545, GT 560 Ti OEM, Quadro 400, Quadro 4000M, and Quadro 5000. Further, GPU-Z updated support for mobile versions of Nvidia cards, including the GeForce GT 305M, 410M, 520M, 520MX, 555M, and the GTX 580M.
The program further improves the BIOS readings of Nvidia cards as well as fixing a shader count detection bug on the Blackcomb mobile Cayman AMD parts. The ASUS MARS II GPU also receives support in version 0.5.5. PowerColor is holding a giveaway for a 6990 graphics card to a lucky winner. The new GPU-Z tab has all the relevant information as well as an entry form. Lastly, the program will now remember the last selected GPU selected from the drop down on multi-GPU systems.
The updated support is nice, and the lightweight program starts up just as fast as the previous versions. Do you use GPU-Z? You can download the new version here.
New Photo Of EVGA Classified GTX 580 Posted On Google+
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 17, 2011 - 10:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, GTX 580, gpu, evga
Jacob Freeman, Product Manager for EVGA recently posted a new photo of the upcoming EVGA Classified GTX 580 graphics card that is said to be taken from the final version of the card. Suffice it to say, this card is a beast in more ways than one. The giant card takes no prisoners in the performance and features department and demands a large chassis with lots of room. A photo of the front of the card is below.
According to this earlier EVGA forum posting by the same Jacob Freeman, the card is jam packed, including three PCI-E power connectors (two 8 pin and one 6 pin), a 14x3 phase "state of the art" power management circuitry, dual BIOS support for resetting the card in case of flashing or overclocking too aggressively, an extra large cooler and fan, up to 4 way SLI, physical voltage monitoring headers for the GPU, Frame Buffer, and PCI-Express voltages, and status LEDs for each. The card has more depth that the traditional cards, thanks to the cooler that sticks out farther from the expansion slot bracket; however, it does maintain the standard double slot width and has a length of 11 inches (hence the need for a rather roomy case).
Head on over to the forum post linked above fore more photos of the EVGA GTX 580 Classified graphics card!
