Tomorrow's Cup — Chapter 7
Tomorrow's Cup
By Anna Prince Redd
Chapter 7
Synopsis: Following Indian Mike's raid on El Toro, Janet's desert home, which in a measure was responsible for the death of her baby, Janet draws more and more within herself. Crowded with new fears, she does not realize that she and her husband, Paul Morgan, are growing further and further apart. Dr. Potsworth, friend and mentor, intervenes. Janet, overhearing his talk with Paul and Paul's bitter answers, wakes to the realization of her selfish absorption. Paul's determination to bring Indian Mike to trial, at any cost, adds to Janet's fears, driving out, for the time at least, the old ones that have obsessed her since the day she married Paul and came to live in San Juan. There is a renewal of their old love and companionship; Paul promises to give up the fight against Mike, and Janet is happy again. They decide that she shall leave soon for Washington and spend the winter in her old home. Paul is to join her when the fall work is done. But the respite is brief. Janet learns that Juanee, her Indian woman, the mother of twins, is to have another child, and all her old grief returns. Juanee tells Janet to pray to the God of her people, and she, too, will have a child.
"No place, anywhere, is equal to Washington in the Spring!" Paul Morgan tamped the earth solidly around a small cottonwood tree he was planting. Every youngster had to have a swing tree. He hoped this one wasn't being planted too late in the year. He dropped to his knees and smoothed the earth lovingly, Janet's last letter repeating itself in his mind.
"I wish you could see the cherry blossoms, Paul," she'd written. "Better still, I wish you could smell them and feel them against your face as I'm doing now, and sit here beside me on this bench and look out across the Potomac. The water is scarcely ruffled, yet petals are blowing. Sand is probably pelting your face, in San Juan …"
Paul straightened up and looked out over the desert, shading his eyes from the sun. before it was an hour hotter there'd be sand all right.
"You say things are looking well. I can just see them – red, where green should be, copper, where there should be blue, and no water anywhere!"
Paul regarded the little tree doubtfully. What did it matter if trees grew or not? Things were precious only by association, only by being shared with someone you loved. What did it matter where houses stood or whether the earth were red or green or rivers placid or not? An unyielding cliff became a refuge when a home was built against it! A penthouse empty if …
"And the Potomac, Paul!" (Janet's letter intruded again.) "How different it is from the San Juan. No cliffs frown from dizzy heights along its limpid edges. Boats drift on its sun-jeweled surface. People dream along its banks – Sunday-morning people, people from offices and homes, hundreds of them, out to see the cherry blossoms fall! And in all this beauty I am lonely. I guess my cherry blossoms must be shared with one I love or they bloom for me in vain …"
Paul tamped the roots of the little tree carefully. "Cherry blossoms must be shared with one you love …" he repeated softly, and as he arose a song left his lips; the little tree stood straight and firmly packed into the sand at the corner of the patio between El Toro and its warm red cliffs. Paul pushed his hat back from his forehead and let the morning wind cool his face, then he turned and went in. He took Janet's letter from the arm of his chair where it had lain within easy reach during the five days since its arrival. He spread the pages out carefully on his knee as he sat down tor est. After a while he picked them up and began to read them again, though he knew the lines by heart …
"What a contrary person I am, Paul. When I'm there, I want to be here; and when I'm here, I want to be there. For three years now we've been seesawing back and forth between the east and the west, no nearer contentment than we were before. Three months each winter with you here, three months each summer with me there. And neither of us … Paul, when the baby comes, I'm sure everything will be different. I wish you had taken me back with you. I've been sitting here for hours thinking things over. How is Juanee? Did she bake potatoes in the ashes for me when she knew about the baby? I dreamed last night that old Mike came here and stole everything I had, that the baby was born and he took it too. I woke up, limp from fear. All the old hatreds rushed in with strangling force. This beauty, this hum of human endeavor is life, Paul. Yet only half of me is here to enjoy it.
"We have only a little while to wait, now. Doctor Eldred says I'm 'bonny.' He's a Scotchy old dear – as near like Doctor Potsworth as I could find. I've been thinking of Doctor Groneman all day. He and Doc should be working together in a big hospital – yet what would San Juan do without Doc …? Here's the cabman; I had no idea my three hours were up. I'll post this on my way home.
"I love you …
Paul sighed deeply. He folded the contents of the letter away in his thoughts, as carefully as one presses a flower between the pages of a loved book. "If I should spend my winters here … never go to Washington again … Janet would sometime forget El Toro. A person has to be happy. Life can't forever deny that," he thought, knowing he could never give Janet up, and that somehow he must find a way to win. He went to the water barrel, dipped a bucket in, and carried it brimming to the little tree he had planted. As he splashed it recklessly over the loose soil, a car rattled into the front yard. Doc Potsworth. He'd know the sound of that wheezy old tub anywhere. But today it was an unwelcome sound. He wanted no company.
"Can't you come to meet a person?" Potsworth searched around in his pockets, knowing perfectly well that Paul knew he had the weekly mail. "Not very anxious, seems to me! Got a telegram here someplace …!"
"Telegram?" Three strides brought Paul from the corner of the house to the car.
"Sure. Any law against that?" Potsworth thrust a yellow envelope into Paul's outstretched hand.
Paul took one look at the sheet he had all but torn in two in his eagerness, gulped, and sank to the running board of the old car. Potsworth waited impatiently, but when Paul continued to gulp, unable to utter a sound, he clutched the telegram. "Keep a privileged old friend waiting all day, will you!" He read the telegram, and his own jaw dropped. "Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!" he cried, "Janet has twins!"
"Twins?" Paul questioned. "Two?"
"Two!" Potsworth exclaimed.
Paul repeated the word weakly. "Two."
"Yes, Paul, two! You're a family man now. One boy, One girl."
"Two," Paul said again, as incredulous as a child at Christmas, his face blank from astonishment.
"You no savvy, Paul?" Potsworth explained patiently, shaking with inward laughter. "One begay! One mechacha!" Then he added soberly: "What I wouldn't have given to have brought those babies into the world."
"But what of Janet?" Paul demanded, scarcely hearing him. "She'll be more afraid of San Juan than ever."
"This'll do wonders for her, Paul. She'll have an interest now as consuming as her fear of the country. She'll come through. Just give her time."
"Time! She's had little else. For years you've been telling me what to do about it. I suppose you think she'll just love coming back with a couple of babies to worry about!"
"I suppose you're right. But just the same, she'll be back. No woman can resist the desire to show off a new baby. And twins … well!"
"I'll have to go to her and help her bring them home. That's a terrible responsibility – twins!"
"I'm glad you sense it. Janet will come back if you go for her, but she'll bring back the same fears, the same prejudices. She's got to want to be here on her own."
"But doc …"
"I know. I know. You want to see those kids. Sure, but you've got to let Janet bring them to you."
"But it might be months!"
"I'll give her exactly one and a half. And don't you go writing to her every day either."
"And when I do, talk about something besides cows?"
Paul's eyes twinkled. "If it works I'll give you a heifer calf – a dozen heifer calves!" Paul began to pace the floor in his excitement. "I'll probably wake up and find myself asleep in my saddle, dreaming."
"That's good. Wake up and find yourself asleep!"
"Well, you know what I mean. Honestly, Doc," Paul said seriously. "I've about given up hope of winning Janet over. She's so set against this country that she won't give it a chance."
"Let the country take care of itself, man. Quit trying to make Janet like it. Just you get ready to enjoy those kids. The country complex will take care of itself."
"I wonder."
"And remember, you're just a bystander now. I'll be the important male around here – next to young Paul."
"Shouldn't you have included Paulette?"
"Say, that's not bad! Paul and Paulette! Not bad at all!"
"Doc, where's your imagination? The boy's been named Jerry for years."
"Then the names won't match for I insist upon Paulette for the girl."
"And we're both reckoning without Janet. She'll probably choose Cactus and Cacti!" Paul spoke sarcastically, Janet's dislike of the country rankling as it had never done before.
"Cactus and Cacti!" Doctor Potsworth chuckled, refusing to take Paul seriously. "Let's wire that to Janet."
Paul looked at him, trying to suppress his mood. "Why not?" he laughed. "She might even see the joke herself …"
Janet, lying in her hospital bed, surrounded by flowers and gifts, read the telegram with delight. "How perfectly adorable," she laughed. "Cactus and Cacti!" She lay back on her pillows, hands behind her head, her eyes dreamy. Paul was happy now. The little grave on the hill would never seem lonely again. Brothers and sisters make a family. What would Juanee think? Janet smiled, remembering the Indian woman's appraisal of twins: "You give me one dollar or two dollars, I take two dollars!"
Janet reread her telegram from Paul with increasing delight. She'd long ago decided on Paulette for her daughter's name, and Paul would have nothing but Jerry for his son. Any children could be named that, but only born-to-the-range twins could be Cactus and Cacti – even in fun.
"Born to the range!" Suddenly the hospital faded; the flame of setting sun through the windows became a glowing bed of coals in the center of a cave high up on Blue Mesa. Hotel Collins. Very, very far from nurses and doctors; far from the ordered loveliness that surrounded her here. She was not lying in a high white bed, but on a bed of fragrant cedar boughs in the cave; not laughing, but saying fiercely into the dark: "I'll fight you, Paul, you and your country! I'll fight you till the day I die! I'll not bring a child up a million miles from nowhere!"
Then as suddenly the cave faded and she was back in the hospital, for a nurse had brought her babies to be fed. Her momentary rebellion was drowned in happiness. These were Paul's babies. They belonged back there with their father. She was suddenly inexpressibly lonely for Paul …
Daily, Paul carried water to nourish the little cottonwood tree he had planted near the patio. "Kids need a swing tree," he told everyone who would listen. All the cowboys had brought gifts – lariats of miniature size, saddles, bridles, mounted silver spurs with extravagant burnt designs. But the thing that touched him most of all was a gift from Indian Joe – his own twins' first moccasins. Other Indians came with their whole families to offer a 'shake,' solemnly proffering their hands, leaving rich presents for the paleface twins. There were so many gifts he'd have to build a new wing at El Toro to accommodate them all.
"If only Janet would hurry and come," he thought dejectedly. But from the tone of her last letter the swing tree would be full grown before that happened. He sat on the back step of the patio and read the letter again.
"Dear Paul,
"Why don't you hurry the spring work along and come? Our babies are nearly a month old, and you haven't seen them. I'd come home if I could, but Doctor Eldred says the babies must be at least six months old before they can face the wilds. Anyway, I'd be scared to travel with them, even if you were here to help me. So you see you'll just have to come to us. I love you very much, dear. Please understand. I'd come home this minute if I could!"
There was much more; but news of Washington didn't interest Paul. One word only stood out like a star – "home." Janet had said "home." She could have said … well, just "back" if she had wanted to. But she'd said "home!"
A wheezy pfpht pfpht and an extra cloud of dust in the wind, told Paul he had company. It was Potsworth again. Just the person he wanted to see.
"I'm going to D.C., Doc," he shouted, racing around the corner of the patio. "And you can like it or go jump in the lake!"
"And where would I get a lake, young man?"
"Well, the river then!"
"Practically dry. Same as your humor."
"I'm not trying to be funny, Doc, I've got to see Janet and those babies. There's no reason why I shouldn't go. And besides I've run out of excuses."
"Suppose I dump one in your lap?"
"You couldn't invent one big enough."
"Try it and see."
"You like Doctor Groneman, don't you, Paul?"
"Yes. Yes, of course. But what's that got to do with …"
"He's coming here, Paul."
"Here? What for? And if he is, what of it? He doesn't need a nursemaid, does he?"
"That's just what he does need. He's blind."
"Bli… Doc, say that again."
"Groneman is blind."
"That's … That's not possible. Why would the Lord let a thing like that happen?"
"Don't we blame too much onto the Lord? It was T.B., Paul – tuberculosis of the eyes; a sudden rupture, and the light went out."
There was stark incredulity in Paul's eyes. "But he was a doctor! he worked with doctors constantly!" he cried.
"And none of them knew. They didn't even suspect. Sometimes the blood vessels break one at a time, over long intervals, and the blindness is gradual. Rarely does it come as this did."
"How awful! What'll he do now? I can't picture him a useless, helpless invalid."
"He's not an invalid. And men of Groneman's caliber are never useless. He'll find other things to do to help the world."
"But what can he do here if he can't see?"
"He can rest – and feed his soul. It's inner vision he needs now. That's why he's coming here. Remember he said this was the top of the world?"
Paul nodded. "Yes, El Toro could be perfect, even to the blind."
"Will you still go gallivantin' off to Washington?"
"No, of course not. If it hadn't been for him and you, Janet wouldn't be here today, Doc."
"There you go again, you blame God for natural consequences and leave Him out when He plays the big part."
"Most of the time I feel that He is pretty near, here on the desert." Paul picked up a wire and began fastening it to the little tree. "But at times He seems pretty remote."
"Here, I'll give you a hand with that tree," Doctor Potsworth said, breaking the tension in his own shrewd, kindly way. "Groneman knows about the twins, Paul."
"When will he come?"
"By the end of the week."
"I'll be ready. Joe and the foreman can take over. I'll stick around here."
"To the north a little, Paul." Potsworth straightened the tree's small trunk. "A tree has to be braced against the wind."
They worked in silence, making a boot for the trunk from an old piece of garden hose, fastening it by a guy-wire to a peg in the ground, so it could not give against the strong north winds.
When Paul spoke again, his voice was low and unsteady. "I'm scared, Doc. What if I do and say the wrong things?"
"You will, sometimes. Who wouldn't? But you'll manage. Good-by."
"What will Janet think?" Paul said to himself, and went inside.

Hollywood studios, guilds, agencies align for vets

Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer on Wednesday, May 9, 2012 announced that movie studios, TV networks, talent agencies and the entertainment unions have aligned with nonprofit groups to create Got Your 6, a multipronged effort to support military veterans and their families. Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Douglas are among the faces of the campaign. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles, File)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Though often rivals when it comes to fighting for fair contracts, hot scripts, top talent and big audiences, Hollywood's power players are united in their support for American veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Movie studios, TV networks, talent agencies and the entertainment unions, together with a host of nonprofit groups, have created the "Got Your 6" initiative, a multipronged effort to support military veterans and their families.
"It's an opportunity for all of us," said Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer, who announced the campaign Wednesday. "I can't think of anything more important than supporting the troops that are coming back from active service."
More than a million veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to return to the U.S. over the next five years, said Chris Marvin, director of Got Your 6.
"Got your six" is military lingo, an expression of solidarity that means "I've got your back and I know you've got mine," Marvin said.
"It means we're watching out for each other and we're all in this together," he said. The saying originated with pilots engaged in dogfights before expanding throughout the military, but Marvin said it applies perfectly to the alliance of entertainment powerhouses that adopted it: "These different entities all agree that the way we work with and deal with our military veterans and their families is crucially important to the future of this country."
Through scripted story lines, celebrity public service announcements and employment and education outreach, Got Your 6 aims to ease veterans' return to civilian life by encouraging Americans to recognize them as valuable community leaders.
The effort was inspired by Michelle Obama's Joining Forces campaign and conceived with the support of the Clinton Global Initiative.
"The entertainment industry captures our imaginations, opens our eyes and touches our hearts, and I'm proud to work with them on our Joining Forces initiative," the first lady said in a statement Wednesday. "By sharing the stories of strength and resilience that define our military families, we can motivate even more Americans to honor these courageous individuals in new ways."
The entertainment industry has the power to influence everyday Americans, Marvin said, and he hopes to see programs that portray veterans as more than just heroes or victims of post-traumatic stress, but skilled leaders ready to contribute to their communities in myriad ways.

Faculty, students and staff with questions about academic support should contact the Writing and Learning Commons: 828.227.2274 or the Mathematics Tutoring Center: 828.227.3830.
Facts about the student who is struggling academically
Students generally have one of three problems:
Content: they don't understand the course material
Many students are reluctant to ask for help from faculty.
Students may be unaware of other campus resources that can assist them.
Study Skills: they are facing new challenges in time management, note-taking, organization, or effective reading
Students are usually very motivated to succeed but lack the right tools or skills for college-level work.
Students may be unable to balance work, social activities, and academic demands.
Learning: they have not yet defined their personal, effective learning processes
Many students have not been exposed to the variety of learning skills necessary for college-level work.
- Some students fail to realize that they need to employ a variety of learning skills and strategies to fit the nature of their courses and the teaching styles of their instructors.
- Determine if the student understands the course content and provide clarification of content, if needed.
Include advice about effective study strategies for your course in your syllabus and call students' attention to this at the beginning of the semester.
Encourage students to be conscious of learning strategies and to adjust them as needed.
Ask if students are utilizing other campus resources, particularly the Writing and Learning Commons or the Mathematics Tutoring Center.
Stress the value of group study.
Encourage students who are struggling academically to speak with their course instructors.
Ask students about their personal study time and study strategies.
Encourage students to explore various strategies for analyzing and managing their time; paper and pencil techniques such as "to do" lists, schedules, calendars, and planners can be helpful organizational tools.
Talk to students about the note-taking strategies they use in their classes. Effective note taking strategies such as making marginal notes, rewriting notes, giving visual emphasis to notes, and frequent review of notes can promote learning.
Refer students to the Writing and Learning Commons and Mathematics Tutoring Center.
- Assuming the student does not understand the course material
Believing the student should know how to learn course content
Thinking the student knows about available campus resources

Channel Islands: Stop before you set up shop
As Guernsey and Jersey emerge from the economic downturn there are a number of retail premises which have come back onto the market and have opened up fresh and exciting opportunities for both national outlets and local retailers alike. With an increasing number of premises on offer it is important that retailers consider their position fully before signing up to a new lease.
Often a retailer will view premises and decide on the store they wish to occupy before making any professional appointments. Negotiating the deal themselves can seem like a tempting, cheap and quick option to many retailers. However, it is important to be aware that, once they have agreed to take the premises on certain terms (which often involves signing up to a set of heads of terms) it will be harder to renegotiate the specific terms of their letting later on. We would therefore recommend that, prior to agreeing to take a lease of a property, a retailer appoints both a commercial property agent, who can provide advice on market conditions as well as the suitability and value of any potential premises, and a lawyer who can work with the agent to assist in the negotiation of the terms at the outset, rather than having to battle to renegotiate terms at the lease drafting stage…

Dilithium Crystals and Nuclear Fusion - A Star Trek Reunion Story?

Location: USS Berlin
Re: Dilithium Crystals and Nuclear Fusion - A Star Trek Reunion Story?
@ Albertese
Just make sure to know that most Germans
do not
wear traditional Bavarian clothing (short leather pants) which is limited to the federal state of Bavaria.
Bavaria is also the name of a film production company (south of Munich) which made "Das Boot" (the WW II submarine film) and - at the very same time as TOS - an ambitioned, very trekish science fiction television series called "
Space Patrol
". The patrol cruiser
was saucer-shaped and also used a kind of warp drive (too bad it had never been translated to English).
@ blssdwlf
I can't help but feel that the dialogue in "Mudd's Women" is somewhat inconclusive.
During Kirk's presence, Scotty says he can't "rig a bypass unit" because they "blew the whole
converter assembly
(impressive continuity here: In "Elaan of Troyius" Scotty reports "The entire
dilithium crystal
converter assembly
is fused. No chance of repair.")
A few moments later Kirk orders "switch to bypass circuits". Scotty could have told Kirk that he
told him
that's not possible and goes for another explanation: We burned all (bypass circuits) out when we super-heated.
It's like "we can't use bypass circuits because we blew the whole (one?) dilithium crystal converter assembly and those bypass circuits we had are useless anyway because we already used them up when we super-heated."
Earlier, Delta-Vega was two light days away (it takes the speed of light / c two days to travel there), after they burned out the last crystal and had to rely entirely on battery power, they had already advanced to cut their traveling time (on sublight) down to 14 hours.
This suggests they had warp drive energy provided with the help of the last crystal until this one failed, too.
Could it be that "bypass circuits" are units that draw energy from the m-am plasma stream to feed other systems like the deflector shields? After all, it would appear it was the stress of using both the deflector shields
the transporter system that "super-heated" these circuits.
P.S. " And then add on each fan's personal vision of how things work and you've got a recipe for herding cats"
But then on-screen information is "canon" making "personal vision" rather irrelevant (i.e. if you believe canon comes first, something I insist upon).

Low Wage Sectors Drive Employment Growth
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On December 7, 2012 @ 12:02 pm In Data Analysis,Employment,Wages & Income | Comments Disabled
Source: Bloomberg Briefing
This morning, I mentioned how little I care about [2] the discrete monthly NFP data each month, saying the "overall trend" was what mattered. Specifically, I suggested looking at internals of the report for trends in wages, temp help, hours worked, etc. to determine the overall health of the labor market.
This report showed a continuation of a trend I find to be unhealthy: The outside contribution of low wage sectors to the NFP report.
Leisure and hospitality, health care and social assistance, retail and temporary jobs — all low wage sectors — have been responsible for over half (51%) of the private sector job growth the last year.
Weak wage growth is function of slack in the labor force and a lack of negotiating power amongst job holders and seekers.

Lawyers: Ohio kidnap suspect will plead not guilty
Lawyers say "it's unfair and offensive that "the media and the community want to demonize this man" and his innocence will be proven
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — The attorneys for a man accused of keeping three women in captivity for about a decade say he will plead not guilty.
Attorneys Craig Weintraub and Jay Schlachet tell WKYC-TV that suspect Ariel Castro has been portrayed as a "monster" in the media, and after meeting with him Tuesday they don't see him that way.
Weintraub says it's unfair and offensive that "the media and the community want to demonize this man before they know the whole story."
Schlachet says details of Castro's innocence "will be disclosed as the case progresses."
Weintraub also says Castro "loves dearly" the child he fathered with alleged kidnap victim Amanda Berry while she was in captivity.
Castro is charged with kidnapping and raping Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.

Decision-taking on human resource issues.

The article examines decision-taking in European construction companies. It confirms the increasing importance of MNEs in the industry. The extent to which corporate decision-taking on human resource matters in construction MNEs is distinctive and is examined. Construction MNEs show an increased use of certain types of flexible working. It is shown that this is in turn linked to decreased union influence, even in some countries with strong regulatory regimes. The argument's implication is that the emergence of a new order in the industry poses a substantial threat to construction unions. This may in the long term endanger unions' legitimacy within the European model of co-operation between management and employee representatives.

Produce Marketing Association (PMA) announced Cathy Green Burns will join the association as president, effective December 1, as part of its continuing restructure of the senior leadership team. In this new role which further strengthens the staff's blend of association management and industry expertise, Green Burns will focus initially on leading board and staff team development as well as lending her insight to business development activities. She will report to Bryan Silbermann, PMA's CEO, who previously held the president position.
"I am honored to be joining the PMA team," says Green Burns. "I look forward to working with PMA's board, members and associates to pursue issues of importance to the produce industry and to fulfill the noble mission of this great organization. With strong core values as a foundation, I am excited to be a part of an organization that is making a difference to inspire healthy eating across the world."
Green Burns is a 30-year supermarket industry veteran, during which time she's held a host of senior-level positions starting with Hannaford Brothers and then Food Lion. Until December 2012, she most recently served as president of the Food Lion banner with its 1,200 retail stores where she was responsible for overall operations including financial performance, brand strategy, merchandising, marketing, communications and customer service. She earned a bachelor's degree in management and marketing from the University of Maine and completed coursework in strategic retail management at the College of William and Mary. Green Burns served as chair of the Produce Traceability Initiative's Leadership Council and also chaired the Coca-Cola Research Council. She is also a past board member of the Network of Executive Women and serves as the current chair of the Board of Governors of Children's Miracle Hospital Network as well as the Board of Duke Children's Hospital.
"Cathy brings to PMA an unparalleled level of leadership skills and industry knowledge that are vital as we continue growing the value we provide our members," says Silbermann. "She'll play a crucial role supporting the rollout of our new strategic plan, especially in helping members grow in the midst of so much change in our consumer and trade marketplaces. I've known Cathy for more than a decade and have especially admired her leadership presence and consensus-building skills. The talent she's honed in running Food Lion will take us to even greater heights in the years ahead."

Beta 2 of SCVVM 2012 Sent Out
Microsoft released a second beta of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2012 to a broader audience May 2
Due out in the second half of 2011, SCVMM 2012 may bring greater feature parity with VMware's vCloud Director. New features include new administrative roles and workflows for self-service portals, which are meant to support Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), plus automated, wizard-driven provisioning of virtual machine (VM), network and storage hardware through Virtual Machine Manager.
One new tidbit that jumped out at me looking through information about this new beta is that it requires Microsoft's SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 back end. For one beta tester, this will mean running multiple versions of SQL Server, at least temporarily.
"The majority of our apps that require SQL are still only supporting SQL 2005, so we predict we will be in a migration mode for the next few years," said Rob McShinsky, senior systems engineer for Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
Running multiple versions of SQL isn't totally unheard of, but "I have always thought Microsoft products 'requiring' other Microsoft licenses without an alternative option seems a bit self-serving," McShinsky said. "A combined license with the primary product, a free option like SQL Express or an alternative supported database would [be preferable]."
SCVMM 2012 will also use the Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S) standard for integration with data storage infrastructure in private clouds. SMI-S, which is overseen by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), specifies a means for clients to communicate with storage arrays of different types and from different vendors, through modules called SMI-S Providers.
By picking an evolving storage industry standard, Microsoft is trying to make it easier for Windows shops to bring multi-vendor storage to its System Center Virtual Machine Manager. But whether or not Microsoft has made the best choice will ultimately depend on how well the standard continues along its development track, and just how well it is embraced by the storage vendors.

Four years ago, one couple's life changed forever. They experienced the presence of two spirits inside the Old Levy Mansion during a renovation.
"I immediately investigated and there was nobody there," says Garth Elliott.
About three months into the renovation, Garth was walking upstairs when he heard something out of the ordinary.
"I heard two feminine voices. We walked a little further up and we heard running back and forth on the landing just above our heads. I yelled out who's there, and it kept going and I got around the corner, and low and behold there was nobody there," says Elliott.
After Garth and Linda's experience, they went home and researched the Levy house and it's history. What they read shocked them: ghost investigators say the spirits of three young children live in the house. The investigators have performed many seances in the building and have found that one of the young girls is very active, she constantly runs back and forth.
"Every hair on my neck and back basically pricked up I just could not explain what we had heard," says Elliott.
Before the encounter--Garth never had any type of experience with ghosts or spirits.
Standing in the house again four years later, he feels there's definitely something--more than just books and other people. He wouldn't go so far to call them ghosts.
"As far with a ghost with a hood on, Casper the ghost, no we don't believe in that, but we do believe that there's a spirit realm. Some people believe their demons or demonic but they didn't treat us bad, we just hear them running back and forth.
The Levy Mansion was built in 1906. It now is home to Sundance Books and Music.

Vatican City-- There's a new monster on the world stage tonight, and it's someone that everybody knows. Pope Benedict XVI gave a stunning speech from the papal balcony declaring in his heavy German accent: "Vatican City has 1,000 hydrogen bombs and we will conquer the world. Resistance is futile." The pontiff then pushed two red buttons on the balcony, and nuked the cities of Venice and Milan.
Pope Benedict XVI thinks of himself as a modern Pope Leo X. The pontiff incinerated the two northern Italian cities as "payback, and a show of force to the world." He first plans to reconquer the Papal States and then have himself crowned emperor. Pope Benedict XVI is leading the military forces himself. The Pope believes he is the Antichrist and "can't wait to stun the world some more."
The pope first plans to reunite Catholic Europe and then "kill every single Protestant, especially the children." He is overseeing concentration camps for anyone unlucky enough to survive the insane nuclear war he is planning.
"I will drop one hydrogen bomb on a Protestant city, every hour, on the hour, until you surrender to The Church!" screamed the insane pontiff.
The pontiff's white, bony finger trembled a bit as he raised it over the button marked 'London'. He thought of Henry VIII and Thomas Moore and Anne Boleyn. He thought about the power he had, literally at his fingertips, to wipe out the great city.
"Oh fu*k! I just love doing this!" roared the mad pope as he pushed the red button. Seconds later, London was vaporized by a hydrogen bomb. "F*ck! I think I just had had my first orgasm!" he roared some more.

Stidham is one of the handful of kids we are turning to in the 2015 class after Ricky Town decided to stay at home and commit to USC. We'll see how it goes, but it is certain that he is going to draw a great deal of interest from around the country, and when it's all said and done he'll have his pick of the top programs. Physically, he's fairly similar to what McCarron was when he came out of St. Paul's, though arguably a tad more impressive (bit more bulk, athleticism, and arm strength).
Really too early to make a legitimate guess at this juncture as to where he might end up, though he has shown some interest in 'Bama before and attended some camps in Tuscaloosa. Not sure what will happen when Texas and Texas A&M put on a big push, as I'm sure they will at some point.
Finally, Stephenville High School is one that is pretty well connected to CFB. They are a traditional power program in central Texas, and that is where Art Briles was at for many years and where he really made his name winning several state championships. Several name quarterbacks have came out of there as well, most notably in recent years Jevan Snead (all the jokes, I know) and Kevin Kolb. Some of the old timers will remember that is where Branndon Stewart came out of before he signed with Tennessee way back when.
He's listed as a dual-threat QB. He's clearly not an Alabama quarterback then.
"I don't know what class is but I can tell when one has it, you can tell from a mile away"
Coach Bryant
Rasuputin's response to my question "What benefit do tablets provide students?"
(In an old southern trailer park redneck beer in hand marlboro light in other and camoflauge cutoff shorts man's voice) If a tablet was good enough for Moses and the 10 Commandments then by god they are good enough for my children in school today!!!!!!!
#2 rated dual threat QB, have I missed a major change in our offensive philosophy?
"My momma always said you got to put the past behind you before you can move on." Forrest Gump
"The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but never preserved except in memory LLAP" Leonard Nimoy
In other words, he moves pretty well, but he's not going to be a dynamic dual threat in big-time BCS football. He's going to be a pocket guy who can occasionally make some plays with his feet when forced to, and the fact that some of the self-proclaiming recruiting "experts" have dubbed him as a dual-threat quarterback speak more to their own incompetence than anything else.
Again, Stidham moves pretty well, but this isn't another Manziel, Newton, or Marshall. Even a James Franklin comparison is probably pushing the envelope a bit. If he's going to succeed at the next level, it will have to be as a pocket passer.
That kid is going to end up at Oregon, A&M, or maybe Clemson. He would fit right into vacated spots left by Manziel,Mariotta, or Boyd.
I think he's perfectly capable of thriving in a dual-threat situation, but it looks like he has a strong arm, a quick release, and probably has the arm talent to succeed in a pro set. Impressive film to these untrained eyes.

Greetings All:
This is an update on a few aspects of our September "Return
to Ethiopia."
1. *Ethiopian Embassy in Washington, DC*:
The reception for us will be held at the Embassy during the
evening of Saturday, 22 September, which should allow
sufficient time for anyone flying to DC that day to attend.
Exact time & other details will be set & announced as we get
nearer to the trip date.
Those in the DC area who are not participating in the Return
To Ethiopia trip itself, but wish to attend the reception,
will be welcome.
We have asked the Embassy about the possibility of waiving
the visa fee ($70) for trip participants, but have not yet
received a response. However, as we are 4 months away from
our departure date, there is still the possibility that our
request will be granted. Visas can be issued by the Embassy
in Washington (ethiopianembassy.org), or at the airport upon
arrival in Addis (we do not have information about the
possibility of long lines for visas at the airport).
Embassy staff has indicated that both they and the Ethiopian
Government in Addis are very pleased and enthusiastic about
our trip. They will have more information about official
events at the Addis end closer to our trip date.
2. *Ethiopian Airlines (EAL)*
By the end of this month (5-30-2012) all prospective participants who plan to fly with EAL for the trip (both for the international legs as well as any flights in-country that will NOT be part of a tour package) must have sent in the required information to Russ Misheloff, who has been preparing a master roster. (See the list of travellers at
to verify whether we have received this information from you.)
I will then deliver the roster to EAL. EAL, in turn, will price out each passenger's itinerary, and make the reservations for him/her,
EAL will return the roster to me that will, at this point, include the price and reservation information for each passenger.
Russ &/or I will then notify each passenger of his/her flight costs. We will also provide details on how and where to pay, including the specific reference code to ensure you receive the group discount fare.
NOTE: You will not be able to make payment through EAL' s website, but only directly with EAL's office in Washington.
You will need to pay for your tickets IN FULL prior to June 30. Your reservation will not be confirmed until payment has been made, whereupon EAL will issue e-tickets directly to you for your international flights, and in-country flights if requested.
"Coupons" are only for those travelling in-country independently (i.e. not with a professional tour group.)
"Coupons" are only for flight segments within Ethiopia.
There are, in fact, no paper "coupons" issued; instead, you will receive your itinerary that will include any in-country flights you reserved and paid for.
The prices for these "coupons" are, according to EAL, about 30% below the "rack" rates quoted on their website, and are equivalent to the in-country fares offered to residents of Ethiopia and to local tour companies within Ethiopia.
According to EAL, the dates & places for which the "coupons" can be used can be changed, subject to a penalty of $10 or $15 each.
For those of you who have already provided Russ with
information about your planned in-country travel (specific
dates and places of travel), please indicate in an email
message to Russ at
before the end of May – if you wish Ethiopian Airlines (EAL) to issue
"coupons" to you for that purpose. And for others who still
need to send him your information, please indicate
specifically the flights for which you need coupons (if
any). The purpose of this request is to be sure that EAL is
clear about your desires, and does not mistakenly bill you
for travel that you plan to do by surface transportation, or
for air travel in Ethiopia that you are paying a tour
company to arrange for you.
Those who are making arrangements to travel in-country with
professionally arranged tours will pay the tour company for
their in-country flights. You will NOT pay EAL directly for
those flights.
As of now, the Dulles to Addis flight for Sunday, 23 September is scheduled to depart at 11:15am, arriving in Ethiopia at 7:45 am the next day, Monday, 24 September.
The group return flight departs Addis at 10:15pm on Sunday, 7 October, stops in Rome for a 40-minute refueling (no deplaning allowed), arrives at Dulles Monday, 8 October, at 8:40am. (NOTE: You may return to the U.S. on any date following your arrival for the next 90 days.)
As with any flight schedule, these flights are subject to change; you can check periodically at EAL's website,
You can check the EAL website for the
scheduling of in-country flights, too. At present, the
airline flies daily between all the major airports in Ethiopia.
A few people have asked about the possibility of upgrading their seats using frequent flyer miles– this is not permitted with our group rate. If you wish to fly Business Class (there is no 1st class offered on this route), the
roundtrip upgrade supplement would be about $3,000 (dollars,
not Birr!).
Should you have questions about any of the above, please
contact either me – email@example.com
Russ Misheloff – firstname.lastname@example.com
or Leo Cecchini – firstname.lastname@example.com
and we'll do our best to answer them.
Best wishes,
Steve Cristofar
Ethiopia & Eritrea RPCVs is arranging a trip to Ethiopia titled "Return to Ethiopia" to commemorate the arrival of the first group of Peace Corps Volunteers in Ethiopia 50 years ago and to celebrate 50 years of Peace Corps service to the country. The trip is open to all RPCVs and staff who served in Ethiopia and Eritrea . In order to keep the group to a manageable size we will allow each participant to bring only one companion on the trip.
9/22/2012, Saturday— The group will assemble in Washington DC for a reception and send-off at the Ethiopian Embassy that afternoon or evening.
9/23/2012, Sunday — The group will depart by an Ethiopian Airlines' (EAL) direct flight from DC to Addis Ababa.
9/24/2012, Monday — We will arrive in Addis Ababa where we expect to have media coverage of our arrival. Later that day we will assemble for a function hosted by the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry.
9/25/2012, Tuesday — There will be some meetings and a tour of Addis.
9/26/2012, Wednesday — The eve of the Meskel Celebration that continues through to Thursday.
9/28/2012, Friday — The end of our group activities. The rest of the stay will be for travel to your communities of service and other travel.
10/7/2012, Sunday — This is a nominal return date but each participant will be able to book his or her return date earlier or later. The only restriction is that you return within 90 days of the beginning of your trip, i.e. by December 22.
We have negotiated a group rate from Ethiopian Airlines for departure from Washington DC on Sunday, September 23, and return within 90 days of departure. For each individual the round trip fate is $1310.00. The group rate is for a limited economy class ticket that allows changes and cancellation with a penalty.
For those who cannot join the group in Washington but want to be with the group in Ethiopia, you may travel however you like, just be in Addis Ababa on Monday, September 24. Several airlines offer round trip tickets from the East Coast USA to Addis at similar prices, but all involve stopovers en route.
The planning committee will be sending out a list of hotels in Addis Ababa that participants can use in making room bookings for Monday, September 24 to Friday, September28. Prices will range from $70 to $200 a night.
Those staying in Addis for their entire visit can discuss rates for an extended stay with the recommended hotels.
For in-country plane travel EAL is offering coupons to those who travel to Addis with the group that can be purchased at the same time as the international ticket. Each coupon can be used to book a single flight within the country, e.g. a trip from Addis to Jimma and return to Addis will require two coupons. The price for coupons will be 2 for $160, 3 for $175, 4 for $200 and 5 for $240, plus tax.

- Ethiopian Tourism Agency: firstname.lastname@example.com This is an official government agency.
- Darrel Hagberg is the husband of an Ethiopia RPCV and will be coming on the trip. He has experience in setting up tours and would like to work with a local tour operator to put together a group tour of the Northern Historic sites for the week following our stay in Addis.

- Ethiopian Airlines offers various in-country tours, as well as information on hotels.
Just a word of caution: We believe these are all reputable and competent sources. But we have not vetted them. Please do not interpret our listing them as an endorsement. Similarly, others who are not listed may be good.
From the US State Department as of April 18, 2012: "The U.S. Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Eritrea and strongly recommends U.S. citizens defer all travel to the country."
EAL has asked that we submit a single list of travellers on the flight. We will do that on May 30. So, for those who want to take the September 23 flight to Addis, you must provide the following information FOR EACH TRAVELLER . This Information is needed not only for EAL, but also for our roster, the Ethiopian Embassy and for the Ethiopian Government to use in alerting those communities of your visit.
Send the information to Marian Haley Beil (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Full name EXACTLY as it appears on your passport
- Gender
- Date of birth
- RPCV's community of service
- Destinations of in-country travel by air
- Dates of of in-country travel by air
- Desired date for your return flight.
(You can, but don't have to return on October 7. In fact, the only restriction is that you return within 90 days of the beginning of your trip, i.e. by December 22.)
EAL will take the information we provide, calculate how much you owe, advise on how and where to make payment, and will issue coupons for the in-country trips you plan to make.
With this information EAL for will prepare individual ticket prices, i.e. for your round-trip ticket, and in-country air travel. Later we will subsequently inform you as to your flight costs and how to pay.
Note: you will be paying EAL's office in Alexandria, Virginia and not via its web site.
Provide the following information for each traveller:
- Full name EXACTLY as it appears on your passport.
- RPCV's community of service.
This information is needed for the official roster, and for the Ethiopian Government to use in alerting those communities of your visit.
Send the information to Marian Haley Beil (email@example.com)
Things happen; including, but not limited to, illness before the trip begins, or during the trip itself (including the need for medical evacuation). Insurance is available to cover these contingencies, and to assure that you get back at least part of any monies you have paid in advance. (Some credit cards, when used to purchase air tickets, provide trip protection insurance as part of their benefits. So, participants are advised to check their card's benefits brochures to see whether and what coverage is included, if any, and consider whether it is enough.)
Buying travel insurance is not inordinately expensive. We STRONGLY recommend that you protect yourselves in this way. And frankly, if you don't, and something unfortunate happens, we can provide sympathy, but nothing more. Where to go for help on this? A good resource is Travel Guard. You can also contact AAA or AARP, both of which have links to insurance companies.
Please see important information specific to Ethiopia from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For individual concerns, of course, consult your doctor. Also, recall that Addis is at high altitude. It may take some time to get acclimated. Don't over-schedule yourself for the first few days.
If you need a new one, please do it now. It takes some time.
We are still waiting to find out whether visa fees will be waived for the group, although we don't think you should count on it. Visa's are available (for a fee) at the airport in Addis. Or you can contact the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington, the Ethiopian Consulate in Los Angeles, or a tour operator for assistance.
From your correspondence, we understand that many of you would like to know who is planning to go on the trip, and what their preferences are, especially regarding in-country travel.
- We have set up a Facebook account for this purposed. To access it:
- Set up a Facebook page for yourself (if you don't already have one). Go to Facebook.com.
- Once you have done that, in the Facebook search box enter: Ethiopia and Eritrea Returned Peace Corps Volunteers.
- Click on join this group. NOTE: This is a open group, but you must request to be a "friend" in order to be able write a post or make a comment.
- To come back to the group page after you have joined, just go to http://www.facebook.com/groups/120114451456889/.
- Hopefully these mechanisms will give you access to the other members of the group, and enable you to "talk to" the group as a whole, or particular individuals (if, of course, they too have to join the group).
- On the Herald website , we have this page you are looking at, and a page called "Travellers" that lists the names of everyone who has expressed an interest in going on the trip. Please note that the names posted indicate people who have expressed interest in the trip. But it doesn't mean that all of them have definitely decided to go.
Check this page if you have already contacted us of your interest and check that we have all your information.
We will send out further information about the trip only to those interested. We will also incorporate it into this page.
Leo Cecchini (email@example.com), Steve Cristofar (firstname.lastname@example.com), Russ Misheloff (firstname.lastname@example.com) will be out of the country for parts of May and having mixed access to email.
Marian Haley Beil (firstname.lastname@example.com) will be home and receiving your updated information for the trip — and any other issues.

CULP ADDS TO OFFENSEFeatures | 2/17/2011 10:23:25 AM | Michael Jafari
Buffalo Bandits forward Chad Culp has had an electrifying start in his first season with the team, and it's not just because he's an accredited electrician.
The Bandits' offense looks like it is coming together as the Black and Orange have scored 31 goals in the last two games after totaling just 38 goals in the previous four games combined.
One of the key contributors in the offensive outburst is Culp, who has seven goals and five assists in the last two games.
"We had lots of stretches early in the season where we weren't picking the corners or clearing well, but it wasn't a lack of opportunity," said Culp. "Now we're starting to gel with the offense and getting to know everyone on the team, which has resulted in us finally finishing. Hopefully we can keep it up."
Culp has always had a nose for the net, which started when he was a boy growing up in Fergus, Ontario. When he was nine years old, he played the sport of lacrosse for the first time and instantly fell in love with the game. From there, Culp moved on to play minor lacrosse in Arthur, Ontario, which was just the beginning in his young career.
"My cousins were involved with lacrosse and kind of got me into it. I played through the minor system in Arthur and eventually got drafted and played in Junior-A at Orangeville for five years. From there, I got drafted to the NLL," recalled Culp.
In 2002, Culp was selected ninth overall by the New York Saints in the NLL Entry Draft. It was a surreal experience for Culp when he took his first step onto the NLL turf in Manhattan.
"It was exciting," Culp reminisced. "I actually moved down to Long Island, and coming from a small town, it was quite the experience. I stepped onto the floor, and it was exciting to be drafted in the NLL because that was one of my goals."
After scoring 26 points in 13 games as a rookie with New York, Culp moved out west to play for the Arizona Sting. After one season in the desert, he was traded to the Minnesota Swarm, where he would collect 223 points (86-137-223) and 361 loose balls in 71 games over five seasons with the club.
"Minnesota treated me really well," recalled Culp. "They made a trade for Ryan Cousins and me, and I spent five years there. We had some tough times at the start, but we made the playoffs a couple years after that, although we couldn't get past Buffalo. I had a lot of fun and played with a bunch of good guys, but it was time to move on."
Culp's tenure with Minnesota came to an end in 2010 when he left the team to play with the Colorado Mammoth for one season. On Nov. 22, 2010, Buffalo signed Culp as a free agent in an effort to bolster the team's forward depth.
"I was excited," Culp said about joining the Bandits. "I am closer to home and now my family and friends can come down and watch me play. There is less traveling and less flying, which is nice. I am excited to be with the Bandits because of their history and all the championships they've won. Plus Darris Kilgour is a Hall of Famer himself and a great coach to learn from."
Culps' season got a little sweeter in last week's 16-7 win over the Philadelphia Wings. In addition to scoring four goals and adding three assists in the victory, Culp achieved a career milestone when he recorded his 300th career point. Despite the accomplishment, Culp is focused on helping the Bandits win this season.
"I don't really look at the points because it's all about wins," said Culp. "I'm sure after my career is done, I'll sit back and say it was cool to have done that, but as far as playing right now, you just go out and try to win championships, which is what my focus is on right now."

Vandora Springs Elementary School Reviews
I believe Vandora Springs is a hidden gem. The school has extremely low turnover of staff. Parents who transfer to another school many times are willing to drive their child in order for them to come back to Vandora. We consistently show growth on the standardized text. I get the feeling that the staff truly cares not only for the children but the families. There is a very active PTA that encourages the involvement of all students.
One thing I love about this school is the community involvement. They have an amazing group of parents and teachers who work hard to raise money, support the school and have fun. Their winter carnival is not to be missed-perhaps you can even volunteer if you're local? It's a fun time and raises much needed funds for the PTO.

While being a musician in real life, playing to many sold-out crowds at Bar Mitzvahs, there's something about Rock Band & Guitar Hero that I love. Playing fake instruments in front of thousands of virtual screaming fans gets the adrenaline pumping!
Rock Band 2 released last month on Xbox 360, a couple of weekends ago on PlayStation 3, and later this year for Wii & PS2. The game features full four-player rawking, with guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. You can play all the songs from Rock Band 1, and new songs can be purchased and downloaded each week, so I've got nearly 400 songs! I brought my setup to this year's Staff Institute, and after TeenLibrarian@evpl's "Gaming in the Library" presentation, we rocked out! Take a look at the photos.
Guitar Hero: World Tour released this past weekend for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, & PS2. I haven't played it yet, but I've heard some pretty good things about it. It too copies the four-player setup, with guitar, bass, drums, and vocals.
It was just announced this morning that Harmonix (the makers of Rock Band 1 & 2) will be making a game exclusively featuring music by The Beatles, releasing sometime next year. Activision previously announced the upcoming Guitar Hero: Metallica. So virtual bands won't have to worry about running out of gigs any time soon!!!
I know TeenLibrarian@evpl has been wanting to purchase either an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, along with either Rock Band 1, Rock Band 2, or Guitar Hero: World Tour for our open gaming at the library. So, which console do you recommend? (Let us know here.) Also, which music game do you recommend??? Help us solve our music-game-mystery by posting your comments below!

"Death in California" Author Signing is Close to Final Chapter's Killing Scene
Categories: A Clockwork Orange, Main
Michigan-based Kulczyk had been a factory worker, sous chef, musician, warehouseman, fish butcher, process server, barista and bike messenger before, at the age of 40, he went to college. Now he's historian, freelance newspaper writer and award-winning author of short fiction. His specialty: death. Specifically, serial killers, murder victims and the strange ways people manage to find themselves dead in sunny California.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must mention that Kulczyk pitched me stories when I was editing a Sacramento paper a couple years ago, and I bought many of them. My favorite involved Kulczyk re-visiting homes where murders committed by serial killers had occurred. Some residents had no idea they were living in what had been the scene of a crime (or crimes) several decades before.
"This book's aim is to encompass shocking murders and accidents that at the time shook the very soul of Californians, but eventually and gratefully faded from memory," Kulczyk wrote me in an email. "California has always been a destination for people with dreams of fame and fortune. Anything is possible in California, and when anything is possible, death always lurks nearby. Death in California is a historic manuscript detailing the more arcane ways people have died in the Golden State."
The final of the 31 vignettes is titled, "Talkin' 'Bout My Generation: Laguna Beach, April 22, 2007." Joni Park was obsessed with status, felt her modest home in a master-planned community was beneath her and routinely barked like a queen at wait staff and store clerks. She and her retired Postal Service worker husband, Kevin Park, opened a small investment firm that hedged their investments against an expected inheritance from Kevin's father, who owned property in California and Hawaii.
However, after dad died, Kevin and his co-executor of the will brother discovered their father had no fortune to split. Joni flipped, accusing her brother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces of swindling her and Kevin. She reported them to police. And then, on the evening of April 21, 2009, she checked into the Montage Laguna Beach, paying for her room in cash, and called together her family for a meeting. You'll have to read the book or go hear Kulczyk speak to find out what happened next, but to say Joni's dreams went unfulfilled is an understatement.
Death in California includes another chapter about a weird local death, this titled, "The Snake Woman: Cypress, Orange County, July 20, 1948." It's about Grace Olive Wiley, a pioneer in the field of herpetology, whose snakes appeared in the films The Jungle Book, Trade Wind and Cobra Woman. Wiley was always on set when her animals were used, and she even appeared onscreen as a snake charmer in the 1940 film, Moon Over Burma, starring Dorothy Lamour.
A freelance journalist was interviewing Wiley and snapping photos of her in Cypress on July 20, 1948, when she met her end after posing with a newly arrived Indian cobra. That's probably giving too much away, but Kulczyk includes a head-scratching coda that makes it worth your while to read the whole chapter.
Latitude 33 Bookshop is at 311 Ocean Avenue in Laguna Beach, and Kulczyk is scheduled to show up with his dark stories at 5 p.m. Saturday.
