Very unique Italian Lamp base?
Hello all!
I acquired this piece at a resale shop. I just loved the uniqueness of it. However, I have never been able to ascertain ANYTHING about it by scouring images and sites. Perhaps someone here can help? ANYTHING at all would be "news to me" as, I have NO experience or knowledge of such things.
It stands about 9.5 " tall and the base is 5" across . There is a pencil sized hole in one side of the base ((Perhaps, intended for a lamp wire?) The piece has hand carving and paintings of fish jumping out of water against the sky with clouds at its middle ,and ocean waves at the base.
The marks underneath seem to be ...
First at the top is either a "B" or a "3"
The second line is a number. Either "1232". or "1932".
The third line most clearly says "Made in Italy"
It is a bit hefty for its size and made of some type of red clay .
So whaddaya think folks?

Based on the images and the marking this piece does appear to be a lamp base and is quite modern, similar examples are still in production. The numerical marking is most likely the model number. Country of origin marks such as "made In Italy generally post date the early 1920's. These pieces look older than they are because the copy the design of early Italian majolica.

|Flood Damage Still Fresh for Galax Circle
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 01 March 2013 06:53
It was four weeks ago that a deluge of rain hit the High Country, bringing with it flooding, evacuations, and for one neighborhood near the gates to Appalachian Ski Mountain—fear. We're posting dramatic video of flooding from the Galax Circle area with a link on GoBlueRidge.net,
the private neighborhood just down the hill from Ski Mountain roadwhere the water poured into their yards, against their foundations, down their drives, with damage very evident a month later. Yesterday, homeowner Matthew Frost met with two engineering staff members of the NC DOT to try to prevent that in the next big storm, events that he says are coming several times a year. They followed the path of the water into the neighborhood, trying to assess how the damage happened. But Frost says the possibility of eminent damage means he could not sell his house…The DOT promised at least a thorough evaluation and hopes for help from experts in Raleigh coming to the High Country. We'll be following the story. The link to the flood video is below.

Opposite sex couples can already file separate returns if they want. Just get a divorce but continue to live together.

Two words: Community Property.
In states that have community property for same-sex couples (California, Nevada, and my own state of Washington) trying to do two single returns for a couple under community property rules is, to use your phrase, a "mucking fess".
DOMA does not touch state community property law, so same-sex couples who fall under community property must file reporting half of each others' income. It works for same-sex couples just like it would for me and my husband - half of his paycheck legally belongs to me, and half of my business income belongs to him.
Since we're opposite-sex, we can easily file jointly, taking care of the community property situation nicely. If we wanted to file separately (which usually has no advantage in community property states) we could file MFS, which has provision for reporting the other spouses SSN.
For same-sex couples, I have to do a proforma MFJ, split the income onto the two single returns, using line 21 for the adjustment and attach the worksheet from Pub 555, and then deal with the inevitable notices, since the IRS has no idea how to handle this situation and has provided no forms to handle it.

Thanks for the word on the community property "mucking fess".
In 40 years I have, thankfully, never had to deal with such a situation. On the few occasions where I did a state return for a married couple in a community property state I always filed a joint return.
To be honest, I was not aware of the complexity of community property issues in separate returns, or how it affected same-sex couples legally married in a community property state.
Thanks again.

HAMMOND The Hammond Central School Board of Education indicated this week that it is open to discussing consolidation options with Morristown Central School, but is in no rush.
At a meeting Tuesday, school board members said they received a letter from the Morristown Board of Education inquiring about several consolidation possibilities, including shared services, shared superintendents and a possible merger.
But Randy C. Richards, newly appointed Hammond interim superintendent, recommended that board members hold off on discussions until the two districts can schedule a work session. The board took no action on the matter.
Mr. Richards said he was concerned that funding for a merger study may not be within the scope of the districts 2013-14 budget.
I read in the paper this morning that Potsdam and Canton are spending a substantial amount of money to do a merger study, Mr. Richards said. This demands a lot of serious thought.
Morristown Superintendent David J. Glover said Wednesday he could not discuss Hammonds decision until he receives a response from the school board.
Once we get a letter of Hammond, the board will make a determination of what steps, if any, we will take from there, Mr. Glover said.
Mr. Glover said the district has time to consider multiple avenues before its impending insolvency.
We arent in the fiscal situation we were in a couple of years ago, he said. Things were very dire then. Some districts are in real fiscal distress. Fortunately, Morristown isnt at that level.
Mr. Glover said he could not estimate when the district will become financially insolvent. He was unable to state the amount of the money the district has in its fund balance.

(Aletta Alien, Aletta Floracnia, Artemis Gold, Doris Alien., Jessica Kline)Aletta Ocean originates from Budapest, Hungary and is tall and slim with size 38DD breasts. Her fans consider her the best pornstar to ever work in adult films and the popularity of her movies bears that out. She was attending college in 2006 when her boyfriend at the time convinced her to try some nude modeling, which she did. She had won a beauty contest prior to that and already knew how to pose and perform to an extent. One of her first films was called "Lesbian First Timers" and was released in 2006. Some of Aletta's schoolmates learned of her side job and since her career was working out, she quit school to make it a full time business. The 2007 movie called "Private Sex Auditions 4" from Private studios was one of her earlier performances. Directed by and co starring Toni Ribas, they appear together in the movie's sixth scene. Aletta is being interviewed by him and she's pulling up her top so he can squeeze her tits. Then she gets fully nude and sucks his cock and they fuck in several positions from there. She sucks his dick some more before he shoots his load on her ass. Her credit for this film is simply her first name. In the film "Slutty And Sluttier 7" Aletta uses her alias Artemis Gold and performs with David Perry and Greg Centauro. Theirs is the fifth scene of the movie and the camera is following her ass as she walks towards the first guy. She stops to strip and pose for the camera and then she gives him a blowjob followed by some fucking. Then she sucks off the second guy and fucks him before it turns into a three way capped off with dual facial cumshots. It's one of those scenes that Aletta Oceans fans absolutely love her to do and she's done many more during her career so far. The 2010 AVN awards show had Aletta receiving an award for Best Sex Scene in a Foreign-Shot Production for her performance in the Harmony Films title called "Dollz House" released in 2009. Her second award was for Female Foreign Performer of the Year which is quite an honor considering the number of foreign performers. Her fans love her and are happy to know that Aletta Ocean has no plans to retire from making porn movies.

Statewide problems with the Department of Motor Vehicles computer system has meant delays to process paperwork and has been a headache for local offices.
For the last two months, the system has intermittently frozen, sometimes shutting down for a half hour at a time.
Theyre constantly down, especially at our busiest times. Its been more of a pain than anything, St. Lawrence County Clerk Mary Lou Rupp said. It has been slightly better recently.
Rather than wait in line, clerks are encouraging customers to drop off what transactions they can and have the local office mail back the documents, Mrs. Rupp said.
We apologize. We let people know its not a local issue, she said. I think people are pretty understanding.
The problems have not affected the timeliness of the countys extensive business with downstate dealers handling registrations, Mrs. Rupp said.
Were still on top of it, she said.
The up-and-down nature of the problem is a hassle, although it is doubtful it has cost Lewis County any customers, said Douglas P. Hanno, Lewis County clerk.
Its very frustrating, he said. The state knows they have a problem. They dont know how long until it will be fixed.
Employees cannot tell customers how long until they can process transactions.
It would be nice if we could tell them to come back at a certain time, Mr. Hanno said. Instead we just dont know if itll be five minutes or hours.
In Jefferson County, the computer problems in recent weeks have been minimal, according to County Clerk Gizelle J. Meeks.
It hasnt happened enough to us for it to be a big deal, she said.
That is not to say the countys DMV has not faced problems connected to technical issues.
A larger problem is her office dealing with customers who come into the local DMV after having difficulties renewing their registrations online.
Theyre encouraging people to go to their website, but theyre not following through with getting them out on time, and so theyre coming to us, Ms. Meeks said.
The Jefferson County DMV added a $3 fee to recoup the cost of its aid, which led to the office receiving a stern email from the state. Ms. Meeks said the tension between covering costs and following state guidance left the county office in a hard place.
Its not the customers fault. You hate to impose the fee on them. They did what they were supposed to do, she said. At the same time, I have to pay a full-time clerk to wait on them.
Computer issues have been further complicated because of the states consolidation of information technology departments, Mr. Hanno said.
We used to have a dedicated IT department for the DMV, he said. Now the state shares an IT department.
County clerks have long encouraged residents to have their local DMVs handle transactions, either in person or through the mail because counties then receive 12.7 percent of the revenue. With transactions that are taken care of over the website or sent to Albany, the state keeps all of the money.
Its a wait if somebody sends it to the state, Mrs. Rupp said. Thats another reason to do it locally.

So the media can go right ahead and say whatever they want
about game 5 between the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings as it won't
matter to me. See when I sit down in front of the TV for game 5 I am going to
dare to dream that on Sunday there will be a game 6 at Madison Square Garden.
If the Rangers win then great this series will explode over
a game 6 but if the Rangers do lose then I will be OK with that as well. As
much as I hate to lose there will be plenty of positives to come away from the
2013-2014 New York Ranger team.
So go ahead and make a party out of game 5 wherever you are
at watching the game. Celebrate that the Rangers who started out looking like
crap worked their way to the finals in spite of all the naysayers. Enjoy that
the team eliminated 3 teams that for years were the causes of heartbreak for
the Rangers.
Celebrate the coming out party from Ryan McDonagh, Mats
Zuccarello and Cam Talbot this season. If they don't win this year there is a
core group that will no longer be aiming to earn the 8th seed in the
playoffs and happy to just make the playoffs.
Salute the team for overcoming so much and yet still finding
ways to succeed. Enjoy that for a change there is a coach who learns from his
mistakes and improves his own creations. Give the franchise credit for bringing
up several top prospects and running them through an extra training camp while
they watch and learn what it takes to win at the NHL level.
Dare to dream that the Rangers will take a step and bring
back another game on Sunday. While others may go around saying that the Rangers
are toast, remember that New York is the home of the miracles. Remember Super
Bowl 3, the Miracle Mets, Dave Stallworth and the Knicks slaying the giant name
Wilt, the Giants knocking off the New England Patriots not once but twice in
the Super Bowl.
Yes remember the days of Reggie Jackson hitting 3 home runs
on 3 pitches to knock off another team from Los Angeles, the 1986 New York Mets
being down to their last out in the World Series in game 6 trailing by 2 and
their comeback to force a game 7. And don't forget that the Mets were down 3-0
in game 7 and won that one.
Then there was this team in 1994 that was down 3-2 to New
Jersey and some guy named Messier made a guarantee. Yes see why it is OK to
dream about what is supposed to be the impossible as you never know.
Oh and there was one last New York miracle which happened in
1980 in upstate New York which asked the most important of questions:
Do you believe in miracles?
Yes I do.

Titanium Goat AGPJosh & Doug have improved the AGP product. See details from their web site below. I've used them since September 2007 on trails ranging from the AT to Yosemite. They are ultra light (a bit over 3 oz each) and perform exceptionally well.In addition to offering a great quality product, Titanium Goat provides excellent customer service. During a hike as I was adjusting a pole as I was crossing a road, I pulled the two sections apart, and dropped one of two small washers. It fell on the road and blended into the surface. It was near a curve so crawling around to find it was not an option. I contacted Josh & Doug and they mailed me extra washers. The AGP product is a great value: excellent performance and light weight for a fair price.From http://www.titaniumgoat.com/poles.htmlStandard Features:-No slip adjuster-Lite weight EVA foam grips-High quality carbon fiber upper, and lower shafts-Standard trekking pole tipsThe new adjustable Goat poles are a continuation, fusion, and refinement of the original goat poles and take down goat poles. These new poles adjust from 30" (76cm) to 51" (130cm) making them easier to attach to packs, adjust for terrain, or use for shelter poles. These full carbon poles have a unique adjustment mechanism. The adjuster operates in a conventional manner, clockwise to tighten, counter to loosen, but the materials used make them carbon compatible for superior holding power. This innovative adjuster utilizes full surface contact in conjunction with pliable materials that actually grip tighter when downward pressure is applied to the pole, yet they easily release when you want them to. At 3.2 oz a piece, these are as light as it gets.
Edited by gmatthews on 02/02/2008 20:10:06 MST.
These poles are fantastic, - stong, super light, simple and easy to field repair. I received the poles with the grips not glued on as I requested. I'm looking to find grips similar to those on the GG poles.
Echo all of the above comments! Additionally, their service is beyond superior. I have used both generations of the GC poles and now the Ti Goat poles. Enjoyed both of the previous ones, but the Ti Goats adjustable nature makes them hands down the winner combined with their superior strength. The recent development of hand straps also helps. I am currently having these double as "spreader bars" to replace the aluminum spreader bars that come with the new JRB Bear Mtn Bridge hammock. Multi purpose use is much easier with adjustable poles. They are so light weight, I find that it is easy to forget them and start hiking without picking them up. The carbon fiber blends into the background, so a little florescent orange duct tape on the shanks helps locate them more easily.
These poles are currently the holy grail of trekking poles. Lightweight, strong, and adjustable. They look incredible too, the wrapped carbon fiber gives it a very high tech look!Mine Weigh 3.28 oz each without the 0.42 oz trekking basket. The optional straps add 0.25oz each. That's light!So far I've only used them on a couple of day hikes. However they performed admirably. They are much stiffer than I expected. I've used "heavy duty" 10oz aluminum poles in the past and I can't say that these really felt any flimsier. I did end up taking the straps off... I didn't need them, and they just got in the way. I might put them back on in the winter when I start wearing mittens.Pros:*Light*Adjustable*Strong*Made in the USA!Cons:*The locking mechanism is a little finicky. (It does not slip, though). Take the time to read the directions and use a little common sense and you'll be OK. I wouldn't recommend these poles if you're the type who feels the need to adjust the length every 5 minutes or if you have the mechanical aptitude of a senile howler monkey. If you do manage to mess it up badly there are spare parts stored in one of the handles. Neat!*The grips are a matter of personal taste I suppose. Personally I prefer omni-directional grips such as these. I usually keep my thumbs hooked over the tops anyway to I don't have any problem with holding onto them. Others might disagree.
I got these in a long version (I am 6'3'') and they weigh exactly 200 grams together. I have nothing bad to say about them. Once you get the hang of it the locking mechanism is easy to use and very reliable. I just used these on a week-long solo hike with high mileage and enjoyed their lightness. They seemed just as strong as my Leki classics, which weigh nearly 3 times as much. I am very satisfied.
Just got them and tried them out. I agree with all of the above comments. Can't wait to take them on a prolonged trip. I'll report back.Update. They performed great. Strong, superlight and able to bear my entire weight (180 lbs.) without collapsing. They did well in the snow as well (densely packed summer snow) despite the small baskets. They also worked great as the center tandem supports for a Megamid.

I used these poles on my CDT and PCT and Desert Trail hikes. I often hike with a single pole. These are not poles for people hard on gear. If you yank on them after jamming them in rocks, or fall on them, they are likely to break. In all those thousands of miles I broke one pole and I don't know why; it shattered when I suddenly put weight on it. It seems likely it got accidentally stepped on at some point. I have upped my rating from 4 to 5 after using these poles on two more thru-hikes.They are super light and plenty comfortable to use. The length adjustment works fine but would sometimes slip until I learned the "sweet spot," for tightening. (Too tight could split them.) I would suggest the manufacturer change the color of the grips or poles to make them show up better when lying on the ground. The main downside to these poles are that the caps on the grip end of the poles fell off and the grips shrank and/or slipped slightly, leaving the end of the shaft cylinder sticking out a fraction of an inch. These are nice, light poles for lightweight backpackers. I am pleased with them and unlike many other gear items I am not shopping for something better.

Love these poles. Gonna add more in depth review soon.I saw this comment...."I am currently having these double as "spreader bars" to replace the aluminum spreader bars that come with the new JRB Bear Mtn Bridge hammock. Multi purpose use is much easier with adjustable poles"Mike, if you still hang out here I would love to see a photo of how you accomplished this. I want to do the same with mine!
I have the latest version of these poles and they are as expected. I added the straps and camera mount. With all options added, and the baskets on, the weight came in at 8.4 oz. A little lighter than the 8.8 oz advertised. They adjust,snug up, and loosen easily. It is very simple to take these poles apart for cleaning and maintenance. As a hardcore skier I appreciate the simplicity and fit of the straps. Just what I was looking for. The grips fit and feel better than I expected. I will not be able to field test till spring so will give those impressions later.img alt=""Collapsed" src=""/backpackinglight/user_uploads/1292698477_34290.jpg"" />UPDATE May 6th 2011Just finished a hike and these poles performed flawlessly. I hiked solo in the Escalante area. I started going up Peekaboo slot, then overland to Early Weed Bench, down Fox Canyon to Twentyfive Mile Wash. Followed the wash to the Escalante River and then went down river to Coyote Gulch finishing by going up the Dry Fork of Coyote back to the car. A loop of some 75-80 miles in 4 days. This hike threw everything at these poles, from sand hiking to rocks, to thrashing through the thick canyon bush, to about a billion river crossings. Depending on the situ I would use or not use the straps. I found the grips great, (even though being very anal about using high end racing grips for my ski poles), I had had some misgivings on the design. They took a beating, up down or around and are so light that when you just felt like holding them along side it was painless. They never shortened by themselves, and locked and unlocked first time every time. In short I am impressed, especially as I was afraid them may prove too frail. :) Happy customer.

Poles arrived timely and well packaged. Setup per instructions was easy.I have now used these poles for 50 hours and am very pleased. Advertised weight was accurate. They have survived a little rough use w/o problems. I consider these poles an excellent value.Gary
I used these poles on the JMT last summer and had no problems. They are extremely light and the grips and very comfortable. The locking system is smooth and flawless. I have used them in snow and miles of cross country bouldering and in talus. I love these poles. I'm 6'0" and 185 - 200 lbs (depending on early vs late season) and used them A LOT to save my knees while descending 6,000 feet from Whitney twice. They have been caught in rocks along the trail with no problems. I have used them to support several different shelters, one time during a desert wind storm with 50 MPH wind gusts, . . . still no problem. They are scratched from 100's of trail miles, AND last weekend I actually rescued one of them from the mouth of a marmot in the Sierras (he liked the grips). Unfortunately while packing for another trip this morning I realized I must have left them at the trail head last weekend. I tried to order another pair, but they are currently out of stock.

A little of this, a little of that …
Wake me when it's Tuesday – the day Terry Francona's juicy and highly anticipated book is scheduled to hit the shelves.
Not a moment too soon.
Look, I understand the importance of publicizing and spreading the word to the masses that there's something on the immediate horizon that you may want to check out. The particular PR campaign for Francona's 368-page opus has me a tad confused, however.
Wouldn't you want to keep something like this under wraps as long as possible? Chances are a book in Francona's own words about his Red Sox managerial tenure is going to have absolutely no trouble selling, particularly in New England. Saturday on barnesandnoble.com, the book stood 17th in sales ranks.
If the publishing group – in this case, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt – wanted to release something similar to a movie trailer, by all means. Yet to feature an excerpt like in this week's Sports Illustrated is akin to knowing the punch line before the joke is told.
At least the Boston Globe has the decency to wait until after the release date to publish passages from Francona's book, which the newspaper will do for three straight days beginning Sunday, Jan. 27.
The account that Sports Illustrated was able to obtain should have come with a disclaimer that stated the following: if you plan on buying the Francona book, skip the next few magazine pages. Otherwise, continue reading.
Not everyone likes to have milk and cookies separately, but that's exactly what's shaping up here. You read the SI excerpt, purchase the book only to find yourself potentially jumping over this not-your-typical teaser that was unveiled to the public a week before its release.
And then there's the fallout that's ensued since the SI portion was put out there. Appearing at Cleveland's fan fest last Friday, Francona told MLB.com that he wasn't too pleased about the section of the book that was chosen. The new Indians skipper felt the part that described the disharmony between himself and Red Sox upper management placed the work he did with Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy in an unflattering light, as if Francona was exacting revenge stemming from how poorly his exit from Boston was orchestrated.
"What I'm hoping is it will be taken the right way, and people will take the time to read it and form their own opinions, and not just [go by] what a two-page thing says," is the wish Francona expressed to MLB.com about having the book viewed in its complete form.
Perhaps my objection to Sports Illustrated making content from Francona's book available before hand stems from the magazine running an excerpt from Jack McCallum's "Dream Team" prior to its release last summer. Part of me was curious to read McCallum's account even though my mind was already made up that I was going to buy the book the day it came out.
Upon arriving at Chapter 28 entitled "The Greatest Game Nobody Saw," a conundrum arose. Do I fast forward given the part about the intrasquad scrimmage involving Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson since I was already aware of what happened thanks to SI, or do I keep continuing to read under the assumption that this is new material? In the end, I flipped to Chapter 29, though there was a part of me that regretted jumping the gun and reading what Sports Illustrated printed from McCallum's well-crafted rendition of arguably the greatest team ever assembled in sports history.
Presented with the same predicament with the Francona book, there was no hesitation on this end. Desiring to read the book from cover to cover, I ignored SI's plug for a literary work that figures to attract enough attention.
The premise of a movie trailer is to reveal as little as possible about the plot while simultaneously whetting the appetite of the consumer. That's exactly the tactic that should have been taken with Francona's ode to his time in Boston's dugout. Sports Illustrated, though, probably was thinking more about individual magazine sales rather than boosting curiosity about Francona's book.
Like a worm on a hook, there's a part of the book that's dangling out there. Hopefully there are some folks who didn't take the bait and plan to read Francona's book with an open mind.
It's been awhile since a Rhode Island Division I college basketball entry has harbored serious NCAA Tournament prospects. That's why we should start paying a little more attention to the goings on at Bryant, where the stars seem to be aligning for Tim O'Shea's Bulldogs.
Now 6-0 in the Northeast Conference following Saturday's home victory against Wagner, Bryant is enjoying the kind of winter that's been rare around these parts. Nine years have elapsed since the Ocean State last sent a representative to the Big Dance.
Since Providence College's one-and-done appearance in 2004, local college hoops enthusiasts have been buried under an avalanche of on-court struggles and coaching changes. Winning basketball has rarely been a topic of conversation.
Granted there's plenty of season remaining, but at least Bryant is giving us the hope that the NCAA dry spell could be mercifully coming to an end.
Judging by the one-point outcome the two teams staged last Thursday night, the boys' basketball teams at North Smithfield and Middletown appear on track to collide in the Division III tournament. If there is a second meeting, it will take place at a neutral setting. The memories of the Northmen defending their home floor in a pulsating 57-56 triumph will likely stick with the Islanders for the balance of the regular season and undoubtedly make them eager for another crack at a North Smithfield squad that is currently one of two R.I. high school teams that have yet to absorb a loss this season.
N.S. improved to 10-0 in Division III-North and 13-0 overall after cruising to a 75-37 win against St. Patrick's on Saturday. For those curious, North Kingstown is the other unblemished unit, the Skippers 9-0 in Division I and 14-0 overall.

I saw a post on Facebook from Cemetery Records Online that asked the question "

In fact it was our aunt who taught me to knit; she probably wasn't around enough when you were young. She also taught my youngest daughter (your niece) to crochet. Our mom didn't learn to crochet until she was in her 60's )or maybe 70's) and they were spending their winters in the southern US states.

Hi Charleen!
Nice to have you here :-) I love learning more about events in our childhood and wish you lived closer so you could fill me in on stuff I've forgotten or gotten mixed up.
I wondered about crochet as I don't remember Mother ever crocheting at night but she made some very nice crocheted blankets for my boys as babies. Did she learn from Lily?
Yes, Lily taught her - she was so proud of her new skill. My girls and I got ponchos that were made from many crochet squares that she then sewed together. She only did it for about a year; I am sure she was much more comfortable with knitting - she could do that without watching what she was doing. I don't think she had the patience to teach anyone knitting, I am sure if Lily hadn't taught me I would not have learned.

What a deluge of instant memories I just had. That was quite a door you opened. Both my mother and grandmother, who lived with us, were top notch at kintting and crocheting. They both would ply their craft while 'watching' TV in the evening. This was a hold over from when there was only radio to entertain them. My mother would knit hats and mittens - we were never without a dry pair! She crocheted afghans, table cloths and bedspreads (the popcorn stitch!!) My grandmother was a whiz with the tiniest of crotchet needles putting fancy lace edges on Irish linen handkerchiefs. She made pot holders by the dozen and also did afghans, tablecloths and bedspreads. Many of these items were sold at the church bazaar or other community fairs near the holidays. Sometimes the larger items were raffled off. I did learn how to knit and crochet, but working full time and raising a family eventually won the battle for my time. What fantastic memories I have of both them, busy with their handwork, while the rest of the family watched TV. Thanks for the memories!!

Hi, just completed my first Sharing Memories Blog, thanks for the inspiration http://familystoriesphotographsandmemories.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/sharing-memories-early-school-days-in.html
My Mother taught me to hand embroider when I was 4-5 years of age. I use to sit beside her as she taught me. She also taught me to Sew at age 6-7 and by age 10 I could sew as good as she. I and 68 now and I sew childrens clothing, quilt, hand embroider, for I find that the child hood lessons from my Mother are still a big part of my life. My Mothers legacy lives on in my Grand Daughter.

I think, your hardware is enough to run your website as you can also define extra memory using /swap that would make your total memory to 4G.
Samba can be used in file sharing, you might as well try reading it though =)
Hello all! My name is Matt, and I'm new to the forums, and relatively new to Linux itself. I am currently attending ITT Tech, and after taking both the Linux User & Admin courses (Fedora 12), I realized that I had been fooled into thinking that Microsoft produced the only viable operating system. Linux is amazing! Unfortunately, the 2 classes I took had different levels of users, and we were not able to learn as much as we could have since most people couldn't grasp the concept of a "|"... however! I furthered my knowledge on my own time and am now preparing to setup a Linux Home Server, probably with Fedora 12 (since I already have the CD from school) that will serve as a web server and a file server. I do have some questions though; the computer that the server will run on is a Quad Core (2.8GHz), but sadly, the mobo ram cap is only 2GB. Will 2GB of ram be enough to support a small-ish Photoediting Website, along with a file server that will mainly host pictures? I know I have enough storage space (500GB x 3), I just wonder if 2GB of ram is enough. Also, are there any specific things I should consider (installing, running, etc) while I install the OS and afterwards? Would Fedora 12 work for what I want to accomplish? Also, any tips on setting up the file server would be greatly appreciated (web server is a no-brainer).
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Edit: I will be using Samba for the file sharing.

So during the install I define the /swap partition as 2GB and the computer will see that as extra ram? Does it work the same as the swap file in windows, meaning after the computer uses the 2GB of physical ram, it redirects overflow to the swap partition, which is slow to access? Is the slow access noticable? Just wanna know how exactly it'll work. And sorry, I'll edit the original post to reflect that I'll be using Samba, but thank you for the tip and info!
you can check if you have used all your ram using "free -m" where -m is in terms of megabytes.
free -m will return a result indicating what is in use and also what is buffered, /swap will be used in case it has to swap out some memory to fit the needed program in the fysical memory, hence "swap" usualy a magnitude of 1.5 - 2 times the fysical amount of ram will be a good setting for /swap, this will provide anough swap to have the entire memory sweapped out while still have enough swap space to handle loading new programs.
But in my mind, any machine with more than 1Gb ram will most like never use /swap, I've run my desktop with 2Gb ram without any /swap partition at all for a good 12 years, and never encountered problems, however a server is anouther thing, here you're relying on it beeing responsive no matter what.
There is one instance where /swap is needed, if you're using suspend to disc, the machine will use /swap and in this case it is vital to have it set at more than your fysical ram, as everything that is loaded into memory will be swapped to /swap on suspend.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

Ok. I've got plenty of space, so I'll just set swap to use 5GB. Any other info/advice is appreciated!
I'll give you an example:
As you can see here, this is a server I have setup handling 5 domains with just little under 1Gb ram, it has 670Mb cached, meaning it is reserved but not in use.Code:> cat /proc/cpuinfo ... model name : VIA Esther processor 1200MHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 1199.908 ... > free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 882 837 45 0 46 672 -/+ buffers/cache: 118 764 Swap: 0 0 0
And as you can see I decided not to assign any swap space.
On another machine
as you can see here, this is another server I have running, which is handling 8 domains, and two of those are extensive picture galerys, the same swap setting the same amount is cached.Code:> cat /proc/cpuinfo ... model name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1603.783 cache size : 256 KB ... > free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 882 837 45 0 46 672 -/+ buffers/cache: 118 764 Swap: 0 0 0
And from the CPU info on my servers I'd say you should be well covered for a home server with your hardware.
I hae one last one to show you
This is a dual core CPU, the workload of this machine is 15 thin clients running on a Gb network booting and using their programs as beeing distributed from this server, it handles mail/web/nfs/samba/ftp for 3 domains aswell, and like before it uses barely over 2Gb of ram.Code:> cat /proc/cpuinfo ... model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G6950 @ 2.80GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1197.000 cache size : 3072 KB ... > free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3890 3342 547 0 286 1942 -/+ buffers/cache: 1113 2776 Swap: 0 0 0

Hi Kagesatsu! I think i must be one of the most fortunate guys on earth. I just joined this forum like an hr ago, do u know y? cos i am concludin a linux fundamental class and i hardly understand wat they're sayin but i'm enjoyin the concept of it and i want to be like a pro in the thing. today we did all these netwk stuffs u two are yearnin but no pratical, the instructor said,"this class is only 4 me to introduce u to linux netwrkin and not to actually give u the practical" can u imagine?
But i told myself i'll netwk the thin myself. In abt 3wks time i'll be adding 2 more pcs to my laptop and try to network them(though rite now all wat u guys are sayin is like gibberish). So pls KAGESATSU, learn it properly and wen the time comes i'll be comin straight to u. Please, assume then that u are teachin a dummy.
we are using suse linux enterprise. Please don't forget the name FLAME.
flame, you are so funny to tell as we are saying here is gibberish, we have been working for years using linux as compared to you. we are here to give guides and not tell you the step by step procedure unless people here has nothing to do with themselves just to populate every inquiry there is. Linuxhomenetworking has tons of best tutorials i've been using for several years. And none of them is related to SUSE, unless its fedora or debian related issues! =)

WADDINGTON – Theyve got more style than a barbershop quartet and more sass than a church choir. Theyre the ladies of the Sweet Adelines Acapella North Chorus.
Performing songs like Kokomo and Dancing Queen rearranged in barbershop quartet style, the group of 24 singers performs at nursing homes and public events throughout St. Lawrence County.
We go where ever were needed, Co-director Donna Kleis said Tuesday.
For its latest performance, the all a capella group will present an Acca-Awesome Adventure Saturday beginning at 7 p.m. in the Madrid-Waddington High School Auditorium.
The group, which has several members from St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Franklin and Lewis counties, is always looking for new members, Ms. Kleis said.
We have members of all ages, from 12 to 88, she said. Well teach you everything you need to know.
The women sing bass, baritone, lead and tenor.
The chorus, made up of bass, baritones, leads and tenors, practices once-a-week.
Patricia O. White, who sings baritone, joined the group in 1977, and is the groups longest-standing member.
Its first and foremost an educational group, Ms. White said. It is a great way to learn about music and singing,
One of her favorite places to perform is the Potsdam Christmas Tree lighting.
The group is one of many Sweet Adeline chapters in the country. Last year the group placed second in the Northern New York singing competition in Syracuse.
Saturdays concert will raise money for the groups annual expenses.
Its for our annual operating costs, which allow us to perform as much as we can, Ms. Kleis said.
The concerts preshow begins at 6:30 p.m.
Musical guests will include We Build Tomorrow and the Madrid-Waddington Select Chorus. Special preshow guests include Josh Barkley and the Madrid-Waddington Music students.
General admission is $10. The cost for students and seniors is $8 and Family is $25.
A costume contest will be held for all ages. Prizes include best couple/ pair, 70s or 80s retro and most original. There will be raffles and door prizes.
The singers are led by Mrs. Kleis and co-director Genine Gehret. Michelle Bresett serves as Assistant Director, Michele Weaver as President.

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
The spike in oil prices is a classic result of a cartel-dominated market (The New American, "Energy's Future," April 4, 2005). The oil producers can confidently slow down their exploration and production activities and make even higher profits than if they were truly competitive.
An unhealthy factor since March 2003 has been the entry of the U.S. government in support of the oil cartel OPEC via the occupation of Iraq. For two years, all votes of the Iraq/U.S. Delegate have been to support more cutback quotas. Along with the other 10 members of OPEC, plus Russia and Mexico, this cartel has been able to cause tens of billions of dollars of damage to the public of the world. Even our taxes go up to pay for all the federal, state, and local government purchase of overpriced fuel.
It's time to expose the state department's current direction to OPEC via the 3,000-staff embassy in Baghdad. It's also time to amend the antitrust laws to prevent the U.S. government from helping any cartel any where in the world.

A salute to Captain Kotwica, and other odds and ends from the day
FLORHAM PARK–Nobody showed up in a wig Thursday, although all the coordinators each referenced it in their weekly press conferences.
One nice and noteworthy moment, an office chair was brought out to the practice field with a handwritten sign on it that said, "Captain Kotwica."
Prior to joining the NFL, special teams assistant coach Ben Kotwica served in the Army and flew Apache helicopters in the Iraqi War. So, Mike Westhoff had the chair brought out as a tribute to him in honor of Veteran's Day. "I have the utmost, utmost respect for what he did," Westhoff said. Westhoff then joked that serving in Iraq was probably easier than working for him.
LaDainiain Tomlinson and Tony Richardson were rested on Wednesday but returned to practice on Thursday. Rex Ryan believes it helps to keep running backs (older running backs…) fresher for games. Tomlinson agreed. "Every year you're going to have over 100 practices," he said. " So if you can take the day off it helps a lot."
It looks like Marquice Cole may not play, which will impact special teams. In fact, it could create an opportunity for Joe McKnight to be active. Mike Westhoff spoke highly of McKnight today, saying that the running back deserves the chance to play. "He's improved since training camp tremendously," Westhoff said.
Expect to see more of Kyle Wilson this week. He will take at least some of the reps that Drew Coleman has been getting. Ryan said that the way Wilson has been practicing, he has earned his time back on the field.
I spoke to Jerricho Cotchery for a few minutes and we talked about the spate of drops that the normally extremely reliable receiver has had recently. "It's a slump," he said. "When you get into one of those as a receiver, you've just got to work your way out of it. It's been frustrating. But you can't dwell on it. If you dwell on it you start to think about all sorts of crazy stuff."
Cotchery then named odd superstitious thoughts and behaviors that will come up where players will start to worry about what they're eating and what they're wearing, anything to figure out how to break out of it, which can frequently make things worse, rather than better.
And, because it was one of those days, I had a strange but interesting conversation with a few people about taping. I was teasing Sione Pouha because Ryan had joked in his press conference that he and Mike DeVito might have to take part in some ball drills.
Pouha launched into an explanation of the problem. He tapes his fingers, which is not uncommon for linemen on both sides of the ball. However, what he does is tape his ring finger to his pinkie and then his middle finger to his index finger. Picture the Vulcan salute from Star Trek. Anyway, he puts on gloves and then does this taping, and tapes all the way down to his wrist so the glove is taped onto his hand. This makes it very difficult for him to do much of anything in the way of grabbing or squeezing and he can't bend his wrist at all. Pouha's finds it helps give him extra support and strength.
However, DeVito had a rebuttal. He doesn't like to tape his fingers and doesn't wear gloves. He doesn't think it helps him. THIS then led to a conversation with Trevor Pryce where I learned that he doesn't use tape at all, anywhere, including his ankles, which is generally considered standard because it provides support in avoiding ankle injuries. On top of that, he doesn't even wear high-top cleats, he wears low ones.
Apparently, he's a bit of a rebel and in college they forced players to tape. He suffered a couple of ankle injuries in spite of that and so began to refuse all taping, something he has continued into the NFL and has never had an ankle problem as a professional.
This is likely way more information than you ever thought you'd get about tape.
It's Mark Sanchez's birthday. Nobody sang. Probably because he was so late for the quarterbacks' meeting that he left the locker room at a dead run, holding his socks and shoes in his hands. If you're late, you get fined. Even if it is your birthday.

VCA Optima Goniometer
A goniometer is used to measure contact angles.
Small drops of a liquid, often water, are placed on the surface of a sample. The angle between the drop and the sample is then measured.
Goniometers can be used to find the surface energy of a sample, or detect the presence of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM).

The rings have sound effects that one would typically find in Japanese manga. For example, above there is a ring that reads "do" (ド), but could be used to mean "thud" (ドッ). "Dodododo" (ドドドド) might be closer to "rrrrumble", though.
As website Spoon Tamago points out, these kinds of sound effects are very common in Japanese manga.
They're less common on Japanese fingers, but retailer Mitsubai Tokyo has them, topping out at ¥23,100 for the larger characters (like "do", above) in silver.

"During Schwarzenegger's address, peace activist and Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin was on the floor of the convention. As she was standing less than 20 feet away from Vice President Dick Cheney, she unfurled a pink banner that read "Pro-Life: Stop the Killing in Iraq." Security officials quickly approached her and told her to put it away. Medea responded by saying it was a pro-life banner. Minutes later, a Secret Service man came up and asked for her press credentials. She stalled for a few minutes cheering Schwarzenegger along with the Republican crowd.
She was soon surrounded by more security officials. When she realized she was being escorted off the convention floor. Medea Benjamin turned to Vice President Dick Cheney who was sitting 20 feet away and repeatedly yelled "Stop the killing in Iraq." Secret service members carried her upside down off the convention floor.
What Medea Benjamin said to Mr. Cheney as she was carried off of the convention floor:MEDEA BENJAMIN: Mr. Cheney, stop the killing in Iraq! Mr. Cheney, stop the killing in Iraq! Mr. Cheney, how much money did you make on the war? Mr. Cheney, how much money did you make on the war? Stop the killing in Iraq! Stop the killing in Iraq! Stop the killing in Iraq! Stop the killing in Iraq!"
08/31/04: RNC Protests continue with Police tricks
From 9/1/04 NY Times: "Many fear that the intensity and frequency of the clashes could escalate, and have questioned police tactics.
'It's an example of the police suckering the protesters,' said Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, referring to the arrest of some 200 protesters who said they thought they were abiding by an agreement they had negotiated with the police as they marched from ground zero on Fulton Street on Tuesday.
'It was a bait-and-switch tactic,' she added, 'where they approved a demonstration and the protesters kept up their end of the bargain. They undermined people's confidence in the police, and that's a serious problem as we go forward.'
The Dicks will be Gary Floyd, Buxf Parrot, Pat Deason and guest guitar players. Glen Taylor, who passed away a few years ago, will be there in sprit. Also playing will be Shootin' Pains (Buxf and Pat's band from Austin) and Gary Floyd's Hard Again.

When a fast food chain opens up we generally do not give notice, or care for that matter. But there is a new Pollo Regio in Dallas, with plenty more on their way, and they deserve at the very least a golf clap. The restaurant is quick, tasty and for many – nearby.
Regio started its restaurant out of something similar to a food truck in Austin, selling a delicious pollo asado that is marinated then grilled for a pretty exquisite flavor. The basics of charro beans, rice and grilled onions gives this Regio a simplistic menu that is hard to beat. The chicken is served with a pack of corn tortillas which makes each meal a feast.
I stopped into the newest version of Pollo Regio yesterday for a quick bite and discovered that the lunch special, which is a half chicken, rice, beans, tortillas and a drink of choice, is a fantastic deal which could conceivably be shared between two good friends or six small children. Great deal at $6.99. The new location is on Forest just west of marsh lane in a former Arby's. If you go you will be sharing space with most of the workers destroying LBJ at the moment.
There probably was no real reason to stop in Pollo Regio besides the fact it made up for a really good lunch which I will no doubt finish this afternoon. And watch out for that green sauce, it will bite your lip.

|Sheriff James Cordova demonstrates how to use a gun lock. Residents may pick up the free firearm safety devices at the Carbon County Sheriff's Office in Price.
The Project ChildSafe program recently distributed more than 20 million free firearm safety kits as a part of a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about responsible firearm ownership and storage.
Last week, J.L. "Lash" Ashmore visited the local area and met with Carbon Sheriff James Cordova. The program representative presented the county law enforcement official with 900 large bore and 200 small bore gun safety lock devices.
An expansion of Project HomeSafe, Project ChildSafe is funded by a $50 million grant from the United States Department of Justice and managed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
Cordova said the safety devices are cables that lock out the mechanical part of the gun so the firearm will not operate.
More than 100 local residents have picked up free locks from the sheriff's office. No information will be taken when people request safety kits. The grant limits three per person.
In addition to the devices, Cordova recommends storing firearms in a proper safe or cabinet. The sheriff was excited to see the locks come to Carbon County.
"It's a good safety message. Anytime we can keep children away from guns and help them understand the dangers that can happen is a good thing," pointed out Cordova.
Project ChildSafe is partnering with local governors, mayors and local law enforcement officers around the county to encourage secure storage of firearms in homes. The goal is to help to prevent firearm-related accidents, especially among children.
The safety kits include a cable-style gun lock and a safety brochure that discusses safe handling and proper storage procedures.
Last year, Project HomeSafe distributed 2.4 million firearm locking kits at local events presented in 43 states.

BUFFALO, NY-- It's no secret that the Buffalo Sabres have been struggling on the ice recently.
So on Wednesday, the team took a different approach to try and improve performance: More practice.
The new collective bargaining agreement calls for the
players to have four days off per month, two at home and two on the road. Thursday was supposed to be one of those days off for the Sabres, but given the team's struggles, Head coach Lindy Ruff thought it was best the team should practice.
And the players agreed.
"I went to the leadership on the team and said we need to work on some things," said Ruff. "I think it would be a good idea if we could flip a day here or there. We need to win games and we need to win them now."
The Sabres have lost seven of eight games, including Tuesday night's 4-3 loss at Ottawa, and they are in second to last place in the conference standings.
The next few days won't be easy for the team either. They play three games four days starting with Thursday night's home game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Impressive performance at a great price.
The Takamine 12-String G Jumbo EG523CDX12 Acoustic-Electric Guitar delivers big, punchy sound. The G Jumbo Takamine is a great guitar for for hard-driving country and bluegrass strumming, while it also fits in perfectly with more intimate fingerstyle picking.
Takamine build the EG523CDX12 with a solid spruce top and a flamed maple body to provide plenty of balanced projection for the full, 12-string sound. The guitar's asymmetrical maple neck, 25-5/16" scale, 1-3/4" nut width, and flat radius keep the EG523CDX12 comfortable for your fret hand. A dovetail neck joint and rosewood bridge and fretboard provide clear and lasting sustain. Gold tuners keep the jumbo guitar in tune from song to song. Other appointments include gold hardware and a gloss finish, adding a shining appearance to this beautifully constructed Takamine guitar.
At the heart of this 12-string Takamine is its cutting edge electronics system. A CP-100 pickup, and a TK40 preamp faithfully amplify the beautiful Takamine tone so you can play anywhere—in intimate settings or at center stage. The Takamine TK40 Preamplifier boasts volume control, bass, middle and treble frequency slider controls, EQ bypass, a Notch Filter, Tuner and a Mid Contour Switch.
The preamp's EQ Bypass push button enables you to engage or defeat the EQ section. The Notch Filter is a specialized EQ, an extremely narrow and deep cut of an audio frequency band. By activating the Mid Contour button, you select a pre-shaped EQ that emphasizes the frequencies normally found to be desirable in an acoustic guitar (400 Hz). The TK40 preamp's tuner is fully chromatic and automatic.
Built under strict specifications, G Series instruments represent exceptionally good value.

Comments about Takamine G Jumbo EG523CDX12 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
After i tuned this guitar and started to play & sing with it i could not put it down ! One of the best 12 string guitars i ever played in the past 50 years !! Very happy with this guitar !!!
Comments about Takamine G Jumbo EG523CDX12 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I'm a professional musician and have played many instruments over the last 50 years. Martins, Gibsons, Fender and Takemine, but this guitar is nothing like the Takemines of old. I took a chance ordering it online, rolled the dice and lost. Made of cheap wood, cheap finish and unplayable even for someone like me whose been playing for 50 years. The strings must have been a good 1/4 inch off the fretboard at the 12th fret. One positive note Musiciansfriend was great about the return thought I had to eat the return shippping cost. Would not reccomend this guitar to anyone.
Comments about Takamine G Jumbo EG523CDX12 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've been playing for over 30 years now and own some very nice instruments, including a Martin D-28 Marquis. This Takamine is the real deal. Not only is the instrument drop-dead gorgeous, but it sounds heavenly as well. The tone is well balanced and clear...the familiar twangy top end so common in 12 strings is balanced out by smooth mids and strong, but not booming, bass. I have never been so pleased with an instrument "right out of the box." The setup is a bit high for me but of course that's personal preference. My only *minor* complaint is that the onboard tuner is not that easy to see in seated position...but hey this guitar was made to gig with. What a great instrument for the price...try playing "Wish you Were Here" or "Over the Hills and Far Away" on this 12 string, not to mention "Dead or Alive." I think you will be surprised to find out how much closer you can get to sounding like the recording with this guitar. Highly, highly recommended!

HOUSTON, Texas (KPRC) -- There's no question car seats save lives, but some parents may have noticed red, itchy rashes on their children after long rides in the car.
According to MyHealthNewsDaily, dermatologists have dubbed it "car seat dermatitis" and while they're unsure of the exact cause, it can be treated quickly and easily.
Anyone with young children knows about the struggle to get them safely buckled in their car seats.
What can make matters worse is a condition known as car seat dermatitis: Itchy, red rashes that flare up where the child's skin comes in contact with car seat material.
Mom Prakiti Kc said she's noticed.
"A little bit of rash, especially if it's very hot and humid and we travel a lot in the car because we travel from Atlanta to Houston sometimes," said Kc. "So in long trips, it really bothers him and he wants to get out of the car seat."

Following a tumultuous year which saw the East Carbon City Council heavily debate local debt and the municipal budget, a tight primary election took place Tuesday night, setting the table for November's general election. Of the 11 individuals running for three council seats, six were chosen via 480 total votes. Moving into this year's general election will be: David Maggio, who was the primary's leading vote getter with 98 ballots; Incumbent David Avery with 64; Barbara Robinett (62); Barbara Fisher (58); Rakele Palmer (49); and Lynn Archuleta (34). The race is over this year for the five other hopefuls: Janice Hunt, incumbent James Wayman, Marcus Palacios, Wayne Sprague and Dyann Moffitt Pearson.

Submission Intel Aims For 1000-Petaflop Supercomputer By 2018->
siliconbits writes: Intel has laid down its roadmap in terms of computing performance for the next seven years in a press release; in addition, it revealed its expectations until 2027 in one deck of slides shown last week. The semiconductor wants a supercomputer capable of reaching 1000 Petaflops (or one Exaflop) to be unveiled by the end of 2018 (just in time for the company's 50th anniversary) with four Exaflops being the upper end target by the end of the decade.The slide that was shared with us also shows that Intel wants to smash the ZettaFlop barrier — that's one million Petaflops or one billion Teraflops — sometimes before 2030. This, Intel expects, will allow for significant strides in the field of Genomics research, as well as much more accurate weather prediction (assuming Skynet or the Matrix hasn't taken over the world).

DiscLabel's templates and layouts, plus on-the-fly access to iTunes playlists, and other tools really let us streamline. Being able to customize labels and jacket inserts really personalizes in a meaningful (and fun!) way."
