Our Dev's are running into issues where they cannot remove keyspaces. The only ones they cannot delete are old ones with data. If we do a test and create new keyspaces, we can remove them just fine through their code and through Opscenter as well. I tried to see if I could remove the CF's and they don't remove either. . . only truncate works on them. We have a 5 Node cluster on Redhat Enterprise 5. Ops Center 2.1.1
Is there a way to force remove the keyspaces or something because we can't seem to remove a bunch of them.
In an effort to consolidate free help offered for our products we have decided to move these forums to a more widely used forum. Please use one of the following queries (or any combination):

Cassandra 1.1.2 DSC - Cannot Remove Keyspace(6 posts) (3 voices)
Just an FYI, I tried removing all snapshots to make sure it wasn't holding any data of some sort. . also, this is what I get on the CLI when I run it: (except it never gets removed)
[default@unknown] drop keyspace name_of_keyspace;
Waiting for schema agreement...
... schemas agree across the cluster
I was told by the Dev's that they have seen this as a Bug so i am resolving this issue for this version. We decided to remove all data and start from scratch.
We are facing the same issue.
It seems the only way to recover is to remove all data, which is not acceptable for production.
What version of cassandra are you using?
Ah, I missed that info in the topic. Similar schema bugs have been reported in Cassandra 1.1.2. Assuming you are hitting those same issue, upgrading to the latest release (1.1.6) should resolve the issue. The relevant cassandra issue is:

"Regardless of how much I suck at games in general, and how cheap it sometimes feels, I'm loving every moment of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins. No matter how many times I die or have to restart the level, I can't stop going back for more!"And then there's the less optimistic, from 1UP:
"It is a terrible, terrible game, and the fact that some people have convinced themselves it is a work of art speaks volumes about how powerful the forces of nostalgia and franchising can be. It is not the game everyone was hoping for, except that small demographic that savors physical and psychological trauma. In fact, it is the worst thing to be inflicted upon the Ghosts 'N' Goblins legend since the atrocious Game Boy Color port of the NES port of the original arcade game. It is not good in every sense of the phrase."So, who's right? Those of you out there that have the import, please inform us! The rest of us will have to wait until the US version hits September 5th.

My experience of being a Christian is that of a surprising, continual and contested process of reformation and rediscovery, says Simon Barrow. It's far removed from the caricature of faith that many zealous believers and non-believers seem attached to.
Whether we love or hate Christmas, we know all about it. But the same may not be true of the coming of Jesus, says Simon Barrow. In Christ, God radically disrupts religious 'business as usual'.
David Ford says that slavery is still very much alive, and that the systems and ideas that underpin it also challenge the church's deep collusion with racism - and its unwillingness to be grasped by the Gospel.

Danny Drinkwater and Matty James set to miss Chelsea clash with Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton back in contention
Posted: August 18, 2014|
Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been ruled out of his side's Premier League clash at Chelsea this weekend with a hamstring injury.
Drinkwater limped out of City's 2-2 draw with Everton off after 39 minutes on Saturday and City boss Nigel Pearson confirmed he will be out for seven to 10 days.
Pearson also confirmed that fellow central midfielder Matty James, who missed the Premier League opener altogether, will be out for two weeks with a heavy knock on his shin.
However, City have been boosted by the news that winger Marc Albrighton and striker Jamie Vardy are both back in contention for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Albrighton injured his groin during City's final pre-season friendly with Werder Bremen, while Vardy has not featured since coming off with a tight thigh against Preston more than two weeks ago.
"It is unfortunate we have picked up one or two injuries during games," said Pearson. "But Marc Albrighton will be training tomorrow, as will Jamie Vardy. So we lose one, we get one back. It is nothing too drastic.
"But I think we will probably have to look to strengthen the squad before the end of the window just to make sure we have enough numbers going from window to window."

The East Tennessee State men's tennis team suddenly has a glaring hole in its lineup.
Rogerio Ribeiro suffered a serious knee injury in a doubles match at the USTA/ITA regional tournament in Knoxville last Friday. Coach Yaser Zaatini said the sophomore from Brazil has a torn medial collateral ligament and will be sidelined for about eight months.
"He was running around a backhand, planted and his knee just buckled," Zaatini said Wednesday. "We were leading the match 6-2, and Rogerio got up and was walking off the court for a changeover but wasn't able to make it.
"I feel terrible for him; we all do. He was having a great fall. Without him, it's going to be a big, uphill climb."
Ribeiro had been playing No. 1 singles for the Bucs, and playing well. Already this fall, he had defeated fourth-ranked Ryan Lipman of Vanderbilt on his way to the quarterfinals of the Southern Intercollegiate at Athens, Ga., and also had a strong run at the ITA All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
He and freshman Diego Nunez have been developing into a formidable doubles team.
"That's why we are a team," said Zaatini. "We have to find a way to come together and keep going. We'll see who steps up."
One of the candidates is freshman David Biosca.
The Spaniard made it to the quarterfinals of the Knoxville tournament on Monday before losing to Ryan Johnson of Vanderbilt 7-6, 6-2. There were 100 players in the draw at the start.
"He's a young kid who had never played indoors," said Zaatini. "He's a very intelligent player and a fighter. He already has two ranked wins this fall, just doing it through grit and will. And he's a worker. I gave him two days off and he called me this morning, telling me he wants to practice."
The Bucs don't play again until next weekend at the Elon Invitational.
After watching Clinton Freeman's performance in fall scrimmages, baseball coach Tony Skole has some decisions to make.
Freeman, who has been an all-conference first baseman and led the Bucs in hitting last season, is looking like a dominant pitcher in the making. His future in baseball is likely to be on the mound.
"Clinton Freeman was amazing this fall," Skole said Wednesday. "He pitched 16 scoreless innings … it was the most dominant performance by a pitcher in my 22 years of fall ball.
"We had a staff meeting this morning and were talking about his role. He's so good offensively, and he's good enough to be the Friday night starter in any league, or he could be a heckuva closer. I'm just glad we don't have to make that decision right now."
The senior from Jonesborough hit .335 for a championship team last season, with 57 runs batted in and 10 homers. Those were all team highs by plenty.
Freeman also went 7-1 with eight saves and a 3.04 ERA in 25 appearances on the mound. All but three of those came in relief.
"He's just grown up playing everything – pitching, first base, playing the outfield," said Skole. "I think he likes it all equally well."
Skole had 11 newcomers on the field this fall for 28 workouts, and he said it was a pleasant experience. The Bucs finished up with their annual Blue-White World Series on Saturday.
"The weather was wonderful and we got a lot accomplished this fall," said Skole. "We really have a good mesh between old and new. This team is dynamic and very athletic.
"I think we've raised the level of expectations and standards. We just have to work the next five or six weeks on the intangibles – teamwork and leadership – and then be ready to go in the preseason. It's an important time because we've got a lot of young guys."
One of those who has caught Skole's eye early is freshman Chris Cook, the former Dobyns-Bennett star.
"If we played today, he'd be our starting third baseman, and he'll pitch for us some, too," said Skole. "He hit .474 this fall and didn't miss a beat."
The beat goes on for the surging ETSU volleyball team.
The Bucs (13-6) have extended their winning streak to nine matches – the program's best run since winning 16 straight in 2006 -- and are the only conference unbeaten, at 7-0.
They shut out Florida Gulf Coast, the preseason favorite, at home last Saturday.
Middle blocker Meredith Hardy was named A-Sun player of the week on Monday. The 6-1 junior from Kingsport is the league leader in blocks and has at least one in 81 consecutive matches.
The Bucs now turn their attention to a key road test Friday night at Jacksonville. The Dolphins are 16-2 overall and just a half-game behind them in the standings.
October has been a struggle so far for the women's soccer team.
The Lady Bucs have lost three of their last four matches to fall to 6-7-1. More importantly, they are seventh in the conference, at 2-3.
Florida Gulf Coast, at 5-0-1, leads the standings, followed by Stetson (4-1-1), Jacksonville (4-1-0) and Mercer (3-1-1).
ETSU will try to get back on track at home this weekend. North Florida visits on Friday night and Jacksonville on Sunday.
Florida Gulf Coast is also the unbeaten frontrunner on the men's side. The Eagles (4-0-0) lead ETSU and Lipscomb by a game.
The Bucs, who lost 2-1 to Gulf Coast at home last week, are on the road at Jacksonville on Saturday.
Katie Hirko continues her strong runs in cross country.
The sophomore from Oley, Pa., finished 11th out of 169 women at the Greater Louisville Classic to earn weekly honors in the conference.
Hirko was the freshman of the year last fall and a first-team all-conference performer, with four top-10 finishes. Her best showing was third place at the Blue Ridge Open in Boone, N.C., and the ETSU teams will be running there again Friday.
The Bucs were ninth in a field of 31 men's teams at the Louisville meet, with juniors Filip Jalovy (21st overall) and Adam Chase (33rd) leading the way.

Raw, playful wins in Israeli design
Young Israeli designers Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay are quickly rising to the top of the design world with their raw, playful, and inventive pieces.
It was April, the day before the opening of the most important design fair in the world. Only reporters were allowed into the exhibition hall of the British design company Established & Sons to get a peek at the new collections and chat - off the record - with several of the biggest names in the industry: Jaime Hayon, Arik Levy, Marcel Wanders and the Bouroullec brothers among others.
Several minutes later, the prestigious group was joined by Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay, Israeli designers who have been working in London for the past eight years. This year, the duo launched a line of 1950s-inspired shelves for Established & Sons. The series comprises six different shelves, all with a playful feel and refreshing mix of colors. It's reminiscent of some of their previous designs, such as objects created from old Fisher-Price toys and chairs constructed of origami for the Stella McCartney boutique in Milan.
The exhibition was the first time that Mer and Alkalay saw their finished shelves. To see them looking at their product, one would never guess they were the designers,or that they even belonged in this group of highly-regarded artists. They behaved modestly, with no pretenses. Their work is the same: avoiding both over-sophistication and banality and always combining playfulness with intellectual curiosity.
It has been ten years since Mer and Alkalay completed their studies in industrial design at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Six years have passed since they completed their master's degree at the Royal College of Art in London. Their graduating class, one of the college's most successful in recent years, included Peter Marigold, Max Lamb, Glithero, rAndom International (yes, it's really spelled that way), Tomás Alonso and Oscar Narud.
Since then, Mer and Alkalay - both 36 - have achieved a status that few designers their age ever reach. Their work has been featured in many design magazines and galleries, as well as in museums and design fairs all over the world. They have works in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Design Museum in London and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, among others.
"You have to come see our studio in London," says the modest Mer. "The tiny hole-in-the-wall with a cold floor." When asked about the meteoric rise of the couple in the past decade, she says, "It just happened, one thing after another."
"We work very hard," Alkalay adds."We do everything on our own. Every year before the fair in Milan, I get excited all over again. It never gets old."
Out of the box
Mer and Alkalay – she from Tel Aviv, he from Bat Yam – are partners in work and in life. They met during their studies at Bezalel and then continued on together to the RCA. From there, things got personal.
"After we finished out master's, we went to China with two other friends for four months," says Alkalay. "It wasn't all that interesting from a creative standpoint, but it was there that we found that we work well together – not just consulting with each other, but really working together."
After completing their master's in 2006, they established their own studio, Raw Edges. The name came from their tendency to leave their material a bit unfinished, to keep a hint of the process exposed in the final product.
This year in Milan, they exhibited the series of shelves as well as a series of ceramic tiles with a fabric-like texture created for the Mutina tile company (marketed in Israel by Mody Ceramics). The tiles designed for Mutina last year had an appearance of crumpled or folded paper.
In addition, Mer and Alkalay exhibited a small mobile computer desk for Arco inspired by sewing machine boxes. In recent years, they have also participated in the highly successful textile show of the Danish fabric manufacturer Kwadrat, where their submission was an armchair woven horizontally and vertically.
Last year, Mer and Alkalay mounted an installation, The Unnatural Selection, at the Natural History Museum in London. A cascade of computer monitors poured out in every direction, like a waterfall, each showing animated clips inspired by the museum's exhibitions. Several months later another version of the work, Curious Minds, was exhibited in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Another signature work of theirs was shown in the Dilmos Gallery in Milan: a series of tables and stools in lively colors, modeled on archetypes of benches from a variety of settings such as a nurse's station, a sidewalk, a classroom and a picnic area.
Stacked success
Their breakthrough came when Alkalay designed a chest of drawers called Stack. The piece, which comprises large drawers placed on top of one another, opens to either side. It's more like an intriguing sculpture than a piece of furniture, its shape changing each time a drawer is opened or closed. The work was first shown during London Design Week in 2007.
Mark Holmes, one of the owners of Established & Sons, took note. He bought the archetype and put it into production. Six months later, the chest of drawers was shown at the 2008 Milan design fair and received an almost unprecedented amount of media coverage, considering the youth of the designer.
"I was terrified that the drawers would fall apart," Alkalay says with a smile. "I could just imagine what would happen if this thing were to collapse." It didn't. Instead, it was one of the hits of the fair.
"I feel that it filled a certain need," Alkalay says of Stack's success. "There was the clean, excellent Italian design on one hand, and all the really cool experimental design on the other. This piece was in the middle – the most playful and the coolest but still something that could be manufactured industrially."
"We try to break existing conceptions," says Mer. "We try to see how ideas can be broken down." That characteristic has defined the aesthetic and functionality of the pair ever since.
"We have an experimental line, but we don't want it to become too gallery-ish," says Alkalay. "What interests us is to get our work into people's homes while bringing in surprises. We want you to see it and say, 'Wow, that's cool.' The result was a surprise to us, too. We don't want 100 percent control over the final product. And we don't want to promise that, either."
One of the prevailing criticisms is that their designs are not practical, an accusation applied to Stack as well. "Practicality is part of the conversation," Mer says. "But the question that most interests us in this case is not what people will put in it, but how they will use the whole piece – the nature of the contact between the object and the person."
"It's fun to invent a new typology," says Alkalay. "Look, here are drawers that can be placed in the middle of the room. People can create a design for themselves. I'd be happy see how people are using it. In design magazines, some people put them to the side, others open just one drawer."
London calling
"Moving to a different place was very hard for me," says Mer of her new home. "I discovered that I'm connected to Hebrew and to the way things are done in Israel. My studies went well, but it was hard for me to get accustomed to London – unlike Shay, who fell in love with it in a second."
"I was on cloud nine," he admits. "I still love this city very much."
"Then we got to the RCA," continues Mer, "and suddenly we found a bunch of people who were extremely talented, each in a different field. That was a bit intimidating."
"It's not like in Israel," says Alkalay, "where you meet people and you ask them right away where they went to school, where they served in the army, and just from their surname you know how to pigeonhole them. London gets people from all over the world – Mexico, New Zealand – and what do you know about them? Everybody feels like a foreigner. Everybody is a foreigner. We were lucky that we had such a good graduating class. It was supportive and not over-competitive."

Spurs fans cry foul over Heat injuries
Injuries sideline LeBron James, Dwyane Wade
Thousands of fans packed the AT&T Center Sunday to watch two of the NBA's biggest stars take on the Spurs, but just before tip-off the Miami Heat announced that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade would not play.
Heat team officials said the James and Wade, along with point guard Mario Chalmers, were injured.
Many Spurs fans believe the move was payback for coach Gregg Popovich's decision to send Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili, Tony Parker, and Danny Green home before a highly anticipated early season matchup with the Heat in November.
"They're not hurt," said Ricky Geoerges. "I was telling all my friends for about a week that they're going to do the same thing we did to them over there in Miami," said Ray Faz.
Poppovich's decision earned the Spurs a $250,000 fine from the NBA.
Reactions were mixed when fans were asked if the Heat deserved to be fined.
"They deserve a bigger fine because more people are looking forward to this game because it's at the end of the season," said Miami Heat fan William Hall.
"They're still in attendance," said Faz. "We get to see them. At least they're present, so they shouldn't get fined."
Other fans simply did not care. "I come to watch the Spurs," said Geoerges. "The other guys are secondary."

Read Poems by
Dawn Quering
The smell of you Cologne
The stories you tell
The stillness when were alone
How you know so well
Run your fingers threw my hair
Go on to caress my skin
Comfort of knowing your there
It is just a great feeling
How you look at me, and adore
Staring in a daze
Never knew a love like this before
In countless ways
Waking up, to see you next to me
Your one of a kind
A since of security
Constantly on my mind
Tickeling my arm, till I fall asleep
Watching you drift away
Feeling your heart go beat
Till we awake to next day

A painting of the mysterious bird of Ulieta, the subject of the best-selling novel The Conjurer's Bird, is being cared for at the Natural History Museum, UK.
Brought to public attention in Martin Davies's popular book, the painting is the only representation of this bird. The Museum never received the original specimen - it was collected during Captain Cook's second expedition to Australia and the Pacific in 1772, displayed by Cook's lead naturalist Sir Joseph Banks for four years, but then inexplicably vanished.
The Conjurer's Bird tells a romantic and mysterious tale of extinct bird researcher John Fitzgerald's search for the actual specimen of the bird from which the painting was made. He is hoping to give the remains to a project that preserves the genetic material of the world's endangered species.
The Ulieta specimen is from the island of Ulieta, now called Ra'iatea, in the Society Islands in the Pacific (the group that includes Tahiti). The Society Islands have suffered devastating ecological alteration from human activities, including many bird extinctions.
The conjurer's bird was thought to be a bay thrush,
Turdus ulietensis
(also known as
Turdus badius
). But it is very likely that it was not a thrush at all, although as there is no known surviving specimen this will probably remain a mystery.
The Museum looks after the original George Forster's painting of the bird and Museum bird expert Robert Prys-Jones has many requests from the public for information about the bird.
'Martin Davies has produced an excellently-written novel which nevertheless carefully respects the known facts about this enigmatic bird,' says Robert.
'The painting held by the Museum is a poignant reminder of the irreversible damage that human colonization has inflicted on many Pacific Ocean islands.'
The Bird Group is based at the Natural History Museum at Tring

I got a possession of Marijuana Ticket unlawfully(in California) what is the best way to fight it?
I was in my buddies car and we were parked on the street when the LAPD came by and they found a baggie of pot on my two friends who admitted it was theirs, but they didn't find any on me. The cops took the weed but not a pipe (parafenilia). They wrote us all a ticket for possession of marijuana under an ounce. I have never been arreseted or charged with anything in my life and I am 31 years old. Since I am a grad student, i would lose my loans if I got charged for this slap on the wrist offense. The police officers were ******* and told me that "they were going to let me off, but because I was a wise guy they were going to give me a ticket". Should I file a misconduct complaint on the officers for saying that and for confiscating the weed but not the parafenilia? Also, how is possession defined? and what is the easiest way to handle this with the least amount of my money and time?

I wish there was an easy way. My suggestion is that you get a lawyer. I have a friend who went through something similar, got a lawyer and it worked out well. It wasn't cheap, tho. You could fight it with a public defender, but they're known as public pretenders here, as you either know or are about to find out. Many cops don't care about you and they have too much testosterone which is not a nice combination. They see the world as black and white. Good or bad, and it's just not like that.
Any way you could get a retroactive prescription?
Sorry and I understand your pain. I have a big mouth too.

In your defense say it wasn't yours and it was the drivers responsibility for having illegal substances in the car.

The easiest way to handle it is for you to plead guilty. If the three of you were sitting around smoking pot then all three of you were possessing it. Nothing in your question is really misconduct. If you have a bad attitude then why let you off with a warning? It's not like you are really going to learn from it since you are exhibiting a bad attitude. There is nothing that says the officers have to confiscate the paraphernalia (if you're a grad student you really need to spell better).

Since it was your first time, and poor judgment of friends, I don't know just say you were wrong and see if somehow they can let this go.

You committed a crime and got caught. Quit blaming the officers and take some responsibility.
Oh, and next time be more cooperative.

Consulting a lawyer is free the first time. You "had" to know your buddies had weed, even if you don't smoke. Tell the attorney or judge your willing to submit to a drug test right then and there. Otherwise, you should have acted like a Man, kept your mouth shut and let your friends take the fall for possession since saying it was theirs. If you smoke it yourself, but it wasn't yours, I suppose your on the mercy of the court. If you go in acting MATURE and not a smart azz, the judge "may" just tell you to get better friends. It is up to him, like the other person said, he IS God in that courtroom, so it's up to him/her...

I clicked on this and I still don't know what I'm going to say. There's a first.
I think it's hilarious that you're 31 years old and asking this question. Sorry. Just strikes me funny.
But you did have some questions. Let's see:
Should you file a misconduct complaint? Sure. And then go down to the beach and shovel some sand. It'll accomplish about as much. Some cops are just jerks and if you ran into them (and didn't deserve it), then I'm sorry.
Should you file a complaint that the cops seized the marijuana but not the pipe? I'm not even sure why you would ask this. Honestly. But here's the thing: a marijuana pipe is not illegal paraphernalia under California law. Your complaint here would fall on deaf ears and rightfully so. We sometimes take them under the theory that they contain an illegal substance which can't be easily removed, but they're not illegal for adults. I'm still not sure why you'd concern yourself with this.
Possession if of two types; actual and constructive. Actual possession requires that I have something under my immediate control. Constructive possession is more along the lines of the things in your car when you're not there....they're yours, they're in your car, but they're not actually in your immediate possession. Some smarty-pants lawyer can give you a much better explanation, I'm sure.
As to your situation, the cops might have cited you for the marijuana under the constructive possession theory. You didn't say, but if you had the pipe and your friends had the weed, it's not a huge stretch of the imagination to think you were in constructive possession of the marijuana they were in actual possession of. I dunno...could be the cops just got irritated with you.
The easiest way to handle it with the least amount of time and money? Failure to appear, my friend...failure to appear. Just don't go to court on the day written on the ticket. Yes, you would get absolutely screwed later, but you asked for the easiest and cheapest way to handle it.
On the other hand, if you just want to accept that you might have been in the wrong place...possibly doing the wrong thing...and go to court and explain it to the judge, you might walk out with a big nothing. Hard to say.
I don't know the first thing about your student loans. If a possession ticket in California can get you screwed on your loans, close your browser and look for an attorney now. Nobody here has at stake what you do so nobody here will have the same motivation you do.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Your problem lies in the part of your question which seeks cheap but good legal representation in the USA, this is not possible, so in your case if its of great importance then you need to spend the monies to hire a competent lawyer to get your case dismissed, while it may in the end seem a simple process not all lawyers are equal as in life, as such, spend the monies on the lawyer for in the end it will be money well spent, kind of like the old saying in divorce law why is a divorce lawyer so expensive> because they are worth it
Was this answer helpful to you?
if you are a grad student you certainly don't want to lose your loans because perhaps with them you might eventually learn to spell.
A ticket is not a conviction. Simply state your case before the judge without being a wiseguy, because in his courtroom the judge is king and if you yap your trap the wrong way he will throw in in the slammer for contempt of court and you can kiss your loans good-bye, and we will all have to put up with your atrocious spelling from now to forever.
Was this answer helpful to you?
You need to consult an attorney who specializes in cases like this. Hire a good one and take his advice. Remember, it'll probably cost a lot more if you lose your student loans.

Number of teenage smartphone owners jumps year-over-year, claims Nielsen
Most of the time, we see smartphone manufacturers marketing their devices toward young adults. That may all be changing soon, as a new Nielsen report says that teenage smartphone owners are growing faster than any other age group in the United States. Nielsen posted the results of a July 2012 study today, in which it found that 58% of teenagers aged 13 to 17 now claim to own a smartphone.

Here's looking at you, kid
The neatly packaged rounds and slices of Prodigal Farm's creamy goat cheese at the South Durham Farmers' Market belie the commotion occurring back on their farm in northern Durham County.
Spring is kidding season, and it's a hectic time as their herd suddenly swells with young new members. To see the baby goats firsthand, I drove out to the farm last Sunday with a couple of friends and spoke with Dave Krabbe, who runs the farm alongside his wife, Kathryn Spann.
When we first arrived, we wandered over to the little barn housing all the kids born over the past week. Inside, we were greeted by dozens of ridiculously cute baby goats. Some were sleeping in huddles, others were drinking from milk stations and a few were playfully charging about. One farmhand, Maggie Griffin, heated several bottles of milk and invited us to bottle-feed the kids that had been born the day before.
Prodigal Farm raises multiple breeds, so each of the kids were a jumble of colors, sizes and features. The Nubians contribute their big, floppy ears, the Alpines their erect ears, the Saanens their light, creamy color, and the Lamanchas (the only native American goat breed) their very tiny ears. They are all interbred for hardiness, as well as the quality and output of their milk. Of the approximately 160 kids that will be born this season, only 30 will be chosen for breeding.
After almost an hour, we tore ourselves away from the sated newborns, and Maggie walked us over to the paddock holding both the expectant does (female goats) and the does that had recently given birth. Inside the enclosure, three retired school buses offer shelter and shade. Throughout the year, the buses are rotated with the goats to different paddocks on the farm's 97 acres of rolling pasture. They are ideal shelters, not only for their portability, but also because the hard surfaces are easy to clean of lingering parasites.
The pasture inhabited by the does was this year's sacrifice field. During the spring, summer and fall, the goats are rotated almost weekly to prevent overgrazing and destruction of the grass; however, during the winter, when the fields are especially susceptible to damage, the does reside on just one field, where their diet is augmented with bales of alfalfa.
The does that had given birth over the past 24 hours still had their kids with them, so that the newborns could benefit from their mother's nutrient-dense first milk (i.e., the colostrum). And, to ensure the quality and quantity of the milk, none of the does had been milked for two months.
Each of the does and kids ambling around us wore collars bearing their name. As is common practice on livestock farms, all of the goats born in a given year have names that begin with the same letter. This custom helps the farmer remember the age of each animal. This year it was H. There was Harvey and his sister Hannah, Honeysuckle who was still learning to walk, Haroldo, Heather, Hazel and scores more.
After visiting Prodigal Farm, I can understand how Kathryn Spann and Dave Krabbe fell in love with raising goats. And, as the only Animal Welfare Approved dairy goat farm in North Carolina, they manifest that love through the excellent care they give their animals.
Elizabeth Zander is market manager for the South Durham Farmers' Market, which in winter is open 9 a.m. noon each Saturday at Greenwood Commons Shopping Center, 5410 NC Highway 55.

- No objections to backward control? (2009)
- The aim of this paper is to address two main counterarguments raised in Landau (2007) against the movement analysis of Control, and especially against the phenomenon of Backward Control. The paper shows that unlike the situation described in Tsez (Polinsky & Potsdam 2002), Landau's objections do not hold for Greek and Romanian, where all obligatory control verbs exhibit Backward Control. Our results thus provide stronger empirical support for a theoretical approach to Control in terms of Movement, as defended in Hornstein (1999 and subsequent work).
- In support of long distance agree (2009)
- In the recent literature the phenomenon of long distance agreement has become the focus of several studies as it seems to violate certain locality conditions which require that agreeing elements in general stand in clause-mate relationships. In particular, it involves a verb agreeing with a constituent which is located in the verb's clausal complement and hence poses a challenge for theories that assume a strictly local relationship for agreement. In this paper we present empirical evidence from Greek and Romanian for the reality of long distance agreement. Specifically, we focus on raising constructions in these two languages and we show that they do not involve movement but rather instantiate long distance agreement. We further argue that subjunctives allowing long distance agreement lack both a CP layer and semantic Tense. However, since the embedded verb also bears phi-features, these constructions pose a further problem for assumptions that view the presence of phi-features as evidence for the presence of a C layer. Finally, we raise the question of the common properties that these languages have that lead to the presence of long distance agreement.
- Un algorithme d'analyse de type earley pour grammaires à concaténation d'intervalles (2009)
- Nous présentons ici différents algorithmes d'analyse pour grammaires à concaténation d'intervalles (Range Concatenation Grammar, RCG), dont un nouvel algorithme de type Earley, dans le paradigme de l'analyse déductive. Notre travail est motivé par l'intérêt porté récemment à ce type de grammaire, et comble un manque dans la littérature existante
- Vagueness and referential ambiguity in a large-scale annotated corpus (2009)
- In this paper, we argue that difficulties in the definition of coreference itself contribute to lower inter-annotator agreement in certain cases. Data from a large referentially annotated corpus serves to corroborate this point, using a quantitative investigation to assess which effects or problems are likely to be the most prominent. Several examples where such problems occur are discussed in more detail, and we then propose a generalisation of Poesio, Reyle and Stevenson's Justified Sloppiness Hypothesis to provide a unified model for these cases of disagreement and argue that a deeper understanding of the phenomena involved allows to tackle problematic cases in a more principled fashion than would be possible using only pre-theoretic intuitions.
- Loanword adaptation as first-language phonological perception (2009)
- We show that loanword adaptation can be understood entirely in terms of phonological and phonetic comprehension and production mechanisms in the first language. We provide explicit accounts of several loanword adaptation phenomena (in Korean) in terms of an Optimality-Theoretic grammar model with the same three levels of representation that are needed to describe L1 phonology: the underlying form, the phonological surface form, and the auditory-phonetic form. The model is bidirectional, i.e., the same constraints and rankings are used by the listener and by the speaker. These constraints and rankings are the same for L1 processing and loanword adaptation.
- Sprache – Musik – Bild: Zeichentypen und ihre Konsequenzen (2009)
- Die drei Bereiche, die hier verglichen werden sollen, entsprechen in etwa der überkommenen Trias von Literatur, Musik und bildender Kunst, einer Gliederung, die im Medienzeitalters mit Videos, CDs, Installationen oder Happenings eigentlich obsolet ist. Allerdings geht es hier nur um die Eigenart der Zeichensysteme, auf denen die verschiedenen Bereiche beruhen, nicht um die Werke, die dadurch möglich werden, obgleich natürlich auch die Kunstwerke im emphatischen Sinn, die bedeutenden und die banalen, die großen und die misslungenen Gestaltungen nur möglich und verstehbar sind aufgrund der Zeichen, auf denen sie beruhen.
- A declarative characterization of different types of multicomponent tree adjoining grammars (2009)
- Multicomponent Tree Adjoining Grammars (MCTAGs) are a formalism that has been shown to be useful for many natural language applications. The definition of non-local MCTAG however is problematic since it refers to the process of the derivation itself: a simultaneity constraint must be respected concerning the way the members of the elementary tree sets are added. Looking only at the result of a derivation (i.e., the derived tree and the derivation tree), this simultaneity is no longer visible and therefore cannot be checked. I.e., this way of characterizing MCTAG does not allow to abstract away from the concrete order of derivation. In this paper, we propose an alternative definition of MCTAG that characterizes the trees in the tree language of an MCTAG via the properties of the derivation trees (in the underlying TAG) the MCTAG licences. We provide similar characterizations for various types of MCTAG. These characterizations give a better understanding of the formalisms, they allow a more systematic comparison of different types of MCTAG, and, furthermore, they can be exploited for parsing.

If the legal parentage of the child is not yet determined, our office will initiate one of several processes to determine parentage. Parentage must be legally established prior to proceeding with any child support enforcement.
Once paternity is established, we can help you get a child support order based on each parent's income, visitation, and other information.
Obligors (Non-custodial parents) are required to pay their court-ordered child support on time and in full. Most orders will also include a wage assignment so money will be withheld from the noncustodial parent's paycheck to pay child support. If the non-custodial parent (NCP) becomes deliquent, the Local Child Support Agency (LCSA) will attempt to gain compliance. The LCSA has many ways to collect support, or may initiate a Review and Adjustment, and possibly modify the order.

Climate change
Agriculture in Africa still depends on the vagaries of rainfall for about 93% of cultivated land with little or no irrigation. It is also characterised by problems linked to low soil productivity, very extensive production systems, land degradation, low yields, pestinduced pre- and post-harvest losses, absence of disease and drought-resistant seed varieties.
Most farming communities are still trapped into low input/low output agricultural practices, barely above subsistence level. Institutional arrangements, policy formulation and the available statistical information base, need to be addressed. Harnessing water resources is a major priority. Integrated natural resources management must also be pursued vigorously to increase productivity, lead to appropriately diversified production systems and ensure sustainable agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries development, with attention to meeting increasing food demand for both domestic consumption and exports.
FAO efforts on climate change are oriented to implement the Emergency, prevention system for transboundary animal, plant pest and diseases (EMPRES), and the promotion of efficient wood base energy production.

- TNA will tape two Impact episodes on Saturday, June 29. The first show will carry a Fourth of July patriotic theme due to the episode airing on Thursday, July 4. TNA will then tape the July 11 Impact episode on the same night.
- Hulk Hogan was the main attraction for the press conference. When asked about some of his favorite career matches in Las Vegas, Hogan said his famous match with Sting at Starrcade '97 is at the top of his list. The match actually took place in Washington, D.C.
Asked about his infamous Halloween Havoc '98 match against the Ultimate Warrior that actually took place in Vegas, Hogan joked that it's one he would like to forget.
- Hogan said he continues to be challenged by having his daughter, Brooke Hogan, working alongside him in TNA because he doesn't want to talk business when they're at home. Regarding Brooke joining TNA a few years ago, Hogan said, "To shoot with you, brother, that was a Dixie Carter idea."
- Prior to Hogan's speech, X Division champion Kenny King spoke at the press conference. King talked about living in Vegas and Dixie Carter texting him that TNA booked Vegas for Impact just for King.
- Before King and Hogan spoke, emcee Jeremy Borash brought "Las Vegas special guest" Oscar B. Goodman on-stage. Goodman, who was flanked by two Vegas showgirls, opened his comments with a "TNA" joke. This drew nervous laughter since the company has had to fight the "TNA vs. T&A" battle throughout company history.

Tributes to tragic Melanie pour out
Posted: June 06, 2014|
TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'kind, caring and generous' woman who had strong links with Burton after she was killed when the motorcycle she was riding hit a car.
Melanie Lakin, who was schooled in Lichfield as a youngster and was well known in Burton, died while travelling back from a picnic at Bala Lake, in North Wales, with her boyfriend Oliver.
The pair were travelling back on separate motorcycles when the 29-year-old hit a car which had stopped in a police road block on the A458, near Welshpool, at 4.30pm on Sunday.
An ambulance was called but Melanie was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her father Nigel Lakin said: "Melanie was a kind, caring and generous person who would go out of her way for anyone.
"She is going to be sorely missed by everyone. It's a terrible, terrible tragedy."
Other members of her family issued a statement paying tribute to Melanie, who had just completed her first year at Birmingham University studying radiography.
It said: "She was a keen motorcyclist who loved life, people, nature and animals – especially her pet cats Hector and Cleo.
"She had just completed her first year at university, which she was thoroughly enjoying, and was looking forward to a successful career in the NHS, combining her love of helping people and a technical, visual subject.
"She had a keen eye and appreciation for photography, music and art.
"She will be sorely missed by her mother Pam, father Nigel, brother Jody, his partner Elena, boyfriend Oliver and her many friends and colleagues."

Another Wolff is running for public office
By Francisco Vara-Orta : January 31, 2014 : Updated: January 31, 2014 9:53pm
Sandi Wolff is wife of Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff.
SAN ANTONIO — Sandi Wolff, wife of Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff and daughter-in-law of County Judge Nelson Wolff, is seeking a spot on the North East Independent School District board.
Sandi Wolff, 44, this week filed paperwork to run for the District 3 seat in the May 10 election, challenging board president Susan Galindo, 56, who also filed this week.
Wolff said she was a longtime teacher in San Antonio and now is a senior strategy analyst for the San Antonio Water System.
She offered no criticism of Galindo, who she thought might have decided to run for another office. Galindo couldn't be reached for immediate comment.
"I'm very excited about joining the board and think they do a great job," Wolff said. "I think that being a teacher helps me understand what it takes to get our students college- and career-ready."
NEISD's District 7 trustee Brigitte Perkins and District 2 trustee Edd White are also seeking re-election and so far have not drawn opponents, district records show. The deadline to file is Feb. 28.

Emergency Food Packs for Dogsby Kea Grace
When disaster strikes, taking care of your family, both two-legged and four-legged, is often the first priority. While many people store food, build a reserve of cash and keep first aid and emergency essentials on hand, supplies for the dog are easy to forget. Food is just one part of a dog's emergency kit, but it's a very important one! Prepare and select your dog's emergency food rations carefully to ensure safety, usability and nutritional value when you need them most.
Mayday Emergency Pet Food
Mayday Industries manufacturers a complete and balanced dog food specially packaged for use in an emergency. It boasts a five-year shelf life and vacuum-seal packaging. Ingredients include, among others, yellow corn, meat and bone meal, chicken byproducts, brewers rice and soybean meal. Each sealed pouch contains enough food to sustain an average-sized dog for one day. Not only are these food packs excellent for inclusion in 72-hour packs, bug-out bags or emergency kits, they're perfect for long-term storage as well. Mayday emergency dog food can be purchased in bulk.
ER Emergency Dog Rations
ER Dog Food is a name-brand food formulated for all canine life stages. It meets AAFCO nutrient profiles and one 8-ounce pouch provides all necessary vitamins and minerals for an average-sized dog for three days. Additional calories or extra servings may be necessary to help your pooch maintain a healthy weight. ER emergency pet rations are hermetically vacuum sealed and shelf-stable for five years. Additionally, the packaging meets military specifications for a waterproof, vapor-proof, heat-stable material. According to QuakeKare customer support, top ingredients include corn, wheat, chicken meal, meat byproducts and animal fat.
Dehydrated and Freeze-Dried Foods
Dehydrated and freeze-dried foods such as Sojos, Honest Kitchen and NRG, make excellent emergency dog-food packs. Not only do many of these foods contain all-natural ingredients, most are pretty high-calorie. Some of the NRG formulas pack a whopping 600 calories or more per cup! For some dogs, that's an entire day's worth of food. Lots of dehydrated and freeze-dried dogs foods come in shelf-stable packaging and can be stored as-is. If a container must be opened, it's best to re-seal the food for storage or inclusion in an emergency pack. Consider vacuum-packing daily dry portions, making the food and canning it for long-term storage or baking the food into "K9 meal bars" and vacuum-sealing the bars.
Dry Dog Food
Unfortunately, once opened, dry dog food isn't shelf stable and can go rancid in a matter of weeks. Even food that's in unopened bags only has a shelf life of a few months. Including your dog's regular dry food in an emergency kit is only feasible if you rotate the food on a regular basis so fresh food is continually being placed in the kit or in storage and your dog is eating the older food.

Ellerby Lab Members
Lisa Ellerby
Mahru An
Mahru came to the Buck Institute with a broad background in cellular and molecular biology, having studied HIV and influenza viruses at the University of Washington before moving to UC San Diego where he received a Ph.D. for work studying molecular mechanisms governing synapse development in mice. In joining Dr. Ellerby's lab at the Buck, he seeks to apply his experience in these fields towards a better understanding of therapeutic approaches to Huntington's Disease. One primary approach applies ongoing advances in stem cell biology to develop patient-specific pluripotent cells as a tool for studying the mechanisms of Huntington's Disease pathology, as well as a potential avenue for cell replacement therapeutics in neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's Disease.
Barbara Bailus
Akilah Bonner
Robert Lin
Robert O'Brien
Robert O'Brien received his BS in Biological Sciences from the University of Vermont, where his undergraduate research training focused on forward and reverse genetic techniques to study the symbiotic relationship between legumes and the soil bacterium Rhizobium. He received his PhD from the University of California, San Diego, where he used mass spectrometry to study post-translational regulation of proteins in embryonic stem cells.
His work in the Ellerby Lab focuses on understanding the role that post-translational modifications of the protein that causes Huntington's Disease (huntingtin) play in the toxicity of the protein. Specifically, examining interactions of caspase cleavage products of huntingtin in mouse models of HD and the role of acetylation in the turnover of huntingtin in cell culture-based models of the disease.
Karen Ring
Karen Ring received her PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of California, San Francisco in the laboratory of Dr. Yadong Huang. Her thesis research identified a novel way to directly reprogram mouse and human fibroblasts into induced neural stem cells. As a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Lisa Ellerby's lab, Karen continues her passion for regenerative medicine and neuroscience by studying molecular mechanisms behind Huntington's disease (HD) using human induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from HD patients. More specifically, Karen is interested in developing techniques to efficiently generate different types of neurons and other brain cells that are affected in Huntington's disease.
Ningzhe Zhang
Ningzhe received a Ph.D. degree from University of Rochester where he studied function and development of glial cells and their progenitors in rodent central nervous systems. After joining Dr. Ellerby's lab at Buck in 2008, he continued the study in neuroscience with a focus on the neurodegenerative disease: Huntington's disease (HD). He is using multiple systems, including animal models and cell models, to uncover disease mechanisms and to search for potential therapies for HD. One important part is to utilize human induced pluripotent stem cells to model the disease, make genetic correction and eventually replace cells lost in HD.

Whisper not into the night these words I can not hear.
For I'am but a vision, Tell me while I'm near.
Whisper not into the night these words I long to hear,
But tell me them in your voice, and place them upon my ear.
Whisper not a remenise of which I can not see,
But show me what it is by heart, of which you want it to be.
For we are in a vision of the night, And here I will always be.
Whisper not into the night. A wish of disregret. For I'am but
a vision, stuck in side your head. Till the end of time I shall
always be. For you are but a part of my soul.
Not just a whisper in the night.

By Raj Giri | April 01, 2012 | Comments
Paul Belfi (@sportstalkNET, sportstalkNETWORK.com): "The challenge for WWE was to create a possibility that the Undertaker can lose at WrestleMania. Enter Shawn Michaels and mission accomplished. It is now plausible and believable that the Undertaker can lose. All that said, the Undertaker will NOT lose. Ever. The streak continues until Undertaker decides to retire. The streak is as important to WrestleMania as anything else booked for the PPV." Winner: The Undertaker
Daniel Pena (WrestlingINC.com writer): "Shawn Michaels will inadvertently cost Triple H the match with Sweet Chin Music, leading to The Undertaker going 20-0." Winner: The Undertaker
Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal, Host of Aftermath on theScore Television Network): "I think Triple H will come as close as anyone has ever come to breaking the streak - 1...2... special referee HBK can't count to three because what Triple H did to get to that pinfall was so dastardly that HBK has a moral decision to make and decides.. 'not this way.' I can also see this match, being that it involves superstars who are 'the last of a dying breed,' that we see 'the last of a dying match' involving violence and blood we aren't used to seeing in today's WWE. In the end, after Triple H finds a way out of Hell's Gate (which finished him at WrestleMania 27) it will be something spectacular that will put 'The Game' away for good and the WWE Universe celebrated an astonishing 20-0 streak while feeling a sense of closure." Winner: The Undertaker
Court Bauer (@courtbauer, Former WWE creative team member): "Undertaker goes over after Shawn Michaels refuses to help Triple H." Winner: The Undertaker
Lindsey Ward (@Linsward, Co-Host of "The Rack"): "There are rumors swirling that this is not Taker's last year at 'Mania. Also at 19-0, it makes no sense to end the streak now. I see Shawn and Hunter's egos getting in the way throughout the match. Because of this, I'm sure 'Taker will take advantage and continue the streak. Furthermore, I don't see a repeat of last year where Taker was carted out. He will at least leave the cell under his own power while he leaves Triple H where he lies." Winner: The Undertaker
The Big Mosh & "The Chairman of the Board" Todd Vincent (@FeelTheMayhem, Monday Night Mayhem): "The story and build-up leading into Sunday's collision between these two future WWE Hall of Famers has been quite effective. Great storytelling from 'The Game' and 'The Dead Man' on the mic. Sprinkle in the addition of Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee. Then, toss in in some wonderfully-produced vignettes (including the one from this past Monday's RAW), plus the musical backdrop of 'The Memory Remains' by Metallica. Onto the bout itself... This very well could be 'Taker's biggest challenge yet to date. A focused and consumed 'Cerebral Assassin' hell bent on correcting his mistake from last year at WrestleMania XXVII in Atlanta. It will be a close, competitive contest. The cell will be a perfect way to close the feud between these two future WWE Hall of Famers. Could we see a little crimson from either one? Would be nice, but don't count on it. With the rumors of a Shawn Michaels-Triple H match for next year's 'Mania, expect Michaels to cost Triple H as revenge, with The Undertaker making history once again in his backyard." Winner: The Undertaker

You know? I think a lot. Maybe I should say ponder. I ponder everything from the most miniscule — to things I'll never comprehend. I often lose myself in my thoughts. I have learned to tune out everything around me and focus… I mean really focus. Sometimes people talk to me and I don't even hear them.
I wish to God I would have learned to do this earlier in life… like at certain jobs… or when my kids were tweens. You know… that whole time frame when they kind-of-sort-of still like you, but mostly think you are a dork. The age when they are coming into their own, and parents are left wondering if they will make it through raising them without landing in therapy. Sooooo much energy radiates from people! I used to get sucked into that energy, fights would erupt and tempers would flare. I fed off their negative energy and in turn they fed off mine.
Well, I have to say in the last few years I've learned a ton about, and have been fascinated with, energy. Every thing is made up of energy. Every single cell gives off energy and disperses it outward, so energy is always in motion, it's vibrating. If you look at a burning candle, you can see the energy radiating from the wick. Everything radiates energy, it's just that sometimes we can't see it. Basically, as we go through life, our energy is making direct contact with everybody elses energy around us… think of drops of colored water dripped onto a piece of paper… the droplets spread out and bump into, mesh, and weave with the other droplets.
Now think about this for a moment. So many things begin to make complete sense when you do. This clearly explains why when we are in a room and someone is negative or feeling down… everyone feels it. Or when we spend time with positive people, we feel positive too. All that vibrating energy is branching out and touching everyone else's energy!!!
I find it ironic that we once thought our ancestors to be primitive and lacking knowledge… but ancient civilizations have known, understood, and have told us about vibrating energy…for a few thousand years now! It's only recently that modern science is understanding all this ancient knowledge. Let's take the human body for example: each of us is made up of over 75 trillion cells. Each cell is vibrating, and everyone's cells vibrate at difference speeds or frequency. When your cells are vibrating faster you are healthier; when they vibrate slowly you are not feeling well. Happiness, laughter, positive thinking, being in love, expressing compassion — all these things make our cells vibrate fast and make us feel great! When our cells are happy — we are happy. When our cells are healthy — we are healthy. It's really that simple!
When we experience negativity, sickness, depression, anger, jealousy, and disease… these make our cells vibrations get slower. We become more negative, depressed, and drained physically or mentally. When our cells are vibrating slower, we can become sick — in mind and body.
Now that you are armed with knowledge about your vibrating cells, you can use this to become mentally and physically healthy! Eat healthy so that your cells don't feel sluggish. Think and act positively: Surround yourself with positive people, find the positive in situations, and participate in positive physical activities (such as walking, biking, laughing, gardening, or any form of exercise.)
When you find yourself absorbing negative energy you must remove yourself from the situation by walking away, or turning your attention to something positive! Whether it's your boss, or that eye-rolling teenager — turn your attention to positive thoughts or you will certainly be sucked into having a negative day!

With the changing of seasons comes PUMPKIN! So, when I began my search for this week's "Sweet Treats" recipe, I knew the recipe needed to include pumpkin.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado…I present my favorite Pumpkin Waffle Recipe. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Waffles
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
- 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- Vegetable oil for brushing waffle iron or cooking spray
Preheat oven to 250°F and preheat waffle iron. Sift together flour, brown sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices. Whisk egg yolks in a large bowl with buttermilk, pumpkin, and butter until smooth. Whisk in dry ingredients just until combined.
In a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites until they hold soft peaks (as in, far softer than the over-beaten whites you'll see in my picture above). Folk them gently into the waffle batter, until just combined.
Brush waffle iron lightly with oil and spoon batter (about 2 cups for four 4-inch Belgian waffles) into waffle iron, spreading quickly. Cook according to manufacturer's instructions.
Transfer waffles to rack in oven to keep warm and crisp. Serve hot with lots of butter and smothered in Buttermilk Syrup! Yum!
(Makes 8-10 Servings)
Buttermilk Syrup
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
In a medium saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil – except for the vanilla extract. Allow to boil gently for at least five minutes. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla.
Serve warm over pancakes and waffles.
This stored okay for a week in the refrigerator. I just popped it in the microwave for 20 seconds, stirred it and microwaved for another 20 seconds.
(Makes 15 Servings)

Anne Frank's Cats
Anne Frank, the thirteen year old German Jewish girl who, with her family,
went into hiding in the loft of a warehouse in 1942 actually shared their secret hiding
place with three cats - Tommy, Boche and Mouschi.
It was Amsterdam in 1942, the country where Anne and her family had fled
to escape persecution by the Nazis. When they arrived at their hiding place, they
discovered two cats. One of the cats was more aggressive, so she called it Boche. The
other was less aggressive, but always won in the end, so she called it Tommy. The third
was the pet of a young man who, with his family, later joined the Franks in hiding. This
cat was called Mouchi.
They shared the attic with their feline friends for three years until
being betrayed by informers. Anne's diary was published in 1947: Diary of a Young Girl,
and symbolises part of the terrible suffering and persecution of the Jewish people during
World War l l.

LONDON (AP) - Novak Djokovic advanced to the Wimbledon final with a five-set victory over Juan Martin del Potro on Friday, a 4-hour, 43-minute match that was the longest semifinal in the tournament's history.
Djokovic won 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (8), 6-3 to reach his 11th Grand Slam final. He is one victory away from his seventh major title.
On Sunday, he'll play the winner of the semifinal between No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland and No. 2 Andy Murray of Britain.
Del Potro saved two match points in fourth-set tiebreaker. After he won it 8-6, the match hit the 4-hour mark. The previous longest semifinal was 4 hours, 1 minute - between Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl in 1989.
Djokovic finished with 80 winners and 22 aces.
