Newsweek recently did an article on the annual Christmas controversies that included comments by Bill Donohue. It maintained that "The War on Christmas Is Over" and "Christmas Won." We are happy to report our role in achieving a victory in California this past Christmas season. On December 6, we learned that a Christmas tree was removed from... [Read more...]
A few weeks before Christmas, residents at a Newhall, California senior citizens' apartment complex were told to remove their Christmas tree. The company in charge of the complex, JB Partners Group Inc., told staff at The Willows residence that the Christmas tree was a religious symbol and must be taken down. Because this is a private venue, there... [Read more...]
One of the most famous atheists in American history, Paul Kurtz, died late last year at age 86. While not religion-friendly, he was by no means a hater. Indeed, he hated what he called "angry atheists," the kind we see with increasing frequency these days. It is hardly a stretch to say that today's breed of atheists more closely resemble fascists...

Every year, the Catholic League comes across stories of atheist groups and their attempts to neuter or eliminate Christmas.

An editorial in the Duluth News Tribune recently questioned, "There's Still a 'War on Christmas'?" Atheist Jeff Sorensen flatly said on Huffington Post that "There is no war on Christmas."

The War on Christmas typically involves attempts by militant atheists and multicultural fanatics to kill Christmas. But a much softer, and less obvious, way of neutering Christmas is to simply ignore it. Take, for example, the way the leading divinity schools addressed Christmas.

|Paratesticular endometriosis in a man with a prolonged hormonal therapy for prostatic carcinoma.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22104297 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A rare case of paratesticular endometriosis in a 69-year-old male with prostatic carcinoma, who had a history of 9-year hormonal therapy, is presented. The lesion was a multilocular cyst, 5.2cm×3.1cm×3.0cm in size, in the left paratestis. The cysts were lined by a single layer of cuboidal cells. A small number of glands were scattered in the underling stroma composed of closely packed small round or ovoid cells with scant cytoplasm resembling endometrial stromal cells, and abundant capillaries. Hemosiderin deposits were observed. Immunohistochemically, the lining cells of the cysts and glands were positive for CAM5.2, vimentin and calretinin, and were negative for CD10, estrogen and progesterone-receptors, indicating mesothelial profiles. The stromal cells expressed vimentin, estrogen- and progesterone-receptors and CD10. The findings indicated stromal endometriosis associated with the tunica vaginalis. Mullerian or endometriotic metaplasia and stromal cell hyperplasia under the influence of prolonged estrogen therapy may be the mechanism of this lesion.

Gurung Village Hike (full day 6-7 hours, with picnic lunch provided): Depart the lodge and hike along the ridge east of the lodge to the village of Kalikathan (Kali is one of the Hindu goddesses), then continue through beautiful forests interspersed with lovely Gurung villages. The Gurungs speak a Tibeto-Burmese language and many practice a Tibetan Buddhism faith that also has influences of the Hindu religion. Gurungs were one of the major groups from Nepal recruited into the British Gurkha Regiments. Enjoy an introduction to the Gurung culture in the village of Tulasor, or if you feel up to it, hike further to Lankachhar, another scenic village. From Tulasor or Lankachhar, descend a trail to the Bijaypur Khola riverbed, then ascend back to the lodge. An easier route can be followed via the village of Kafalbari, with plenty of time to admire the fabulous views of the valley below.
Bhimirepani Hike (approximately 3 hours): this gentle village and farmland walk brings you through the settlements of varied ethnic groups and castes on a relatively level trail without any steep climbs or descents. From the lodge, walk to the village of Sundar Gaun, through forests to Bhimirepani (good for birding), then through farmlands via Naraspur village back to the lodge.
Bijaypur River Hike (approximately 3 hours): hike down from the lodge along the spur to the big bend in the Bijaypur River, then continue along the river bank to Sangako Mukh and climb up to Murali Chowk, where you are met for a 15-minute drive back to the lodge (or you can hike back up). This walk is good for morning birding and a return to the lodge in time for lunch.
Shanti Stupa Hike (approximately 3 hours): drive from the lodge to Damside and hike up through Raniban to Shanti Stupa, a massive Buddhist stupa on a hilltop on the southern shores of Phewa Lake, with good views of the lake and the Annapurnas. Descend to the lakeshore and boat to Barahi Ghat, with time to shop before you are picked up for a drive back to the lodge. Extra transport cost: $25 per person.
Austrian Camp/Dhampus/Phedi Hike (driving time is approximately 3 hours round-trip; total time is approximately 5 hours): drive from Pokhara to the village of Khande (5,900'), enjoying marvelous views of the Annapurna Himalaya. The hike begins at Khande and brings you up to Austrian Camp (6,400'), with beautiful views back down to the Pokhara Valley and Phewa Lake. Many species of birds are encountered here. Continue hiking down the ridge toward Dhampus village (6,000') through oak and rhododendron forest. From Dhampus, the trail becomes steeper as you hike up to Phedi village, passing through settlements of various ethnic groups and beautiful subtropical forest. You may see trekkers on the trail to Annapurna Base Camp here. From Phedi, return by car to Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge. Extra cost: $50 per person.
Country Drives: drive along rural lanes, with options to visit local potters and other artisans in nearby areas such as the Hemja Valley, Sarankot, and Naudanda (all at extra cost, depending on drive).
Spa Services: the lodge offers massages (Ayurvedic, Shiatsu, and Hara), yoga, as well as meditation services to help guests truly relax and unwind from the stresses of the modern world (all at extra cost, depending on activity).
Pokhara Sightseeing: for those who would like to explore Pokhara town, this option allows a visit to the local market, the deep Seti River Gorge, Manhendra Cave, Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, and museums. You may also hire a local boat or dinghy for an hour's ride on beautiful Phewa Lake, or stroll the lakeside for shopping. Extra transport cost: $45 per person.

|Variation by disability in state predictors of Medicaid 1915c waiver use and expenditures.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16326658 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: States are increasingly using the Medicaid 1915c waiver program to provide community-based long-term care. A substantially greater share of long-term-care dollars supports community-based care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, relative to older and working-age persons with primarily physical disabilities. DESIGN AND METHODS: We used state-level data for the period from 1992 to 2001 to estimate fixed-effects panel models. We compared state predictors of waiver utilization and expenditures for waivers serving both older and working-age individuals (O/WAIs) relative to waivers serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). RESULTS: We found community-based-care capacity to predict use and expenditures for both target groups. Although regulation of institutional supply was positively related to expenditure measures for IDDs, it was not related to use or expenditures for O/WAIs. Demand variables (e.g., the size of a state's African American population) predicted use and expenditures for IDD waivers, but they were less consistent for O/WAI waivers. State resources were a robust predictor of use and expenditures for both groups. IMPLICATIONS: Increased community-based-care capacity appears to be an important factor in efforts to expand the availability of Medicaid community-based care. Federal policies that address state resource issues may also spur growth in community-based long-term care.

When the Unity game engine runs virtually everywhere -- well, almost -- it's no surprise that Unity Technologies has just announced that the engine will support the Xbox One. However, the firm is also revealing a partnership with Microsoft that promises a deeper level of integration on the One than we've seen on some other systems. Microsoft Studios partners will get to build Unity-based Xbox 360 and Xbox One games for free. They'll also receive tools that take full advantage of the One's tricks, including cloud computing, matchmaking, improved Kinect gestures and SmartGlass.
Developers who aren't console-inclined are covered as well: the partnership will give all Unity Pro 4 customers free access to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 development add-ons once they're available this summer. While there's no guarantee that game producers are more likely to target Microsoft's ecosystem than they have in the past, the Unity deal could lower some of the costs and technology barriers. And there may be more: Microsoft has dropped hints that it will provide further details on its support of indie console app development sometime in the near future.
Unity Announces Strategic Collaboration with Microsoft to Extend Free Platform Support for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8; Unveils Xbox One Support for Microsoft Studios' Development Partners
San Francisco, CA – June 27, 2013 – Unity Technologies, provider of the Unity multi-platform game engine and development tools, has entered into an agreement with Microsoft to collaborate on development tools for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and Xbox One. This collaboration will make it even easier for developers to bring popular games, entertainment and apps to Microsoft platforms.
Unveiled this morning during Microsoft's annual Build Conference in San Francisco, Unity will deliver the commercial version for its "Windows Store Add-on", now included in Unity 4.2 Release Candidate 1, with a commitment to ongoing support and innovation for Microsoft platforms. Under agreement with Microsoft, Unity Pro 4 licensed developers will receive a free license for the "Windows Store Add-on" once available this summer, a $1,500 value. The "Windows Store Add-on" includes support for both Windows Store apps and Windows Phone 8 apps.
In addition, Unity will develop tools for the Xbox One entertainment system, including support for many next-generation features such as enhanced Kinect gestures and recognition, multiplayer matchmaking, SmartGlass and the unlimited power of the cloud. Developers who build games published by Microsoft Studios will have access to Unity tools for Xbox 360 and Xbox One free of charge.
Unity offers a combination of power, efficiency and affordability that has made it one of the most popular game engines and development platforms in the world. The continued collaboration between Unity and Microsoft will make Microsoft's gaming ecosystem more accessible to nearly 2 million passionate developers in the Unity community.
"Our vision is to democratize game development and provide opportunity for all developers, from individuals to massive teams," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. "Our collaboration will help further these goals by empowering our community to create games across Microsoft's powerful platforms. Their vision to provide the best outlet for games to be enjoyed parallels our own vision to build the best platform for games to be developed and we're excited to work with them to shape the future of the industry."
"Unity has established itself not only as an incredible development toolset and engine, but as a significant force for creative freedom and innovation in the games development community," said Steven Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President and Chief Evangelist of Microsoft's Developer & Platform Evangelism organization. "With Unity's commitment to support Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Xbox One and Xbox 360, Microsoft's gaming ecosystem will benefit from the wealth of ideas and imagination flowing from the Unity games development community."

The Photographs on the Opposite Page
43. The upper left hand photograph shows the interior of a typical magneto wall set. Turn a crank and you generate enough power to signal the operator. Batteries provided the line current needed to talk. Note the pad beneath the batteries used to soak up the occasional acid spill.
44. The upper right hand photograph shows an Automatic Electric, Type 1 test board that was one of four in service in Roseville from 1956 to 1984. Tests of the local loop often required one person at the test board and one person in the field to actually perform the adjustments. Many coin line tests are marked at this board.
45. The lower left hand photograph shows an operator toll switchboard in use from 1959 to 1981. Local and long distance toll calls were handled at this A.E. Model Type 31C cord toll board. Several boards were in use at any one time.
46. The lower right hand photograph shows a detail of the step by step switch. The entire mechanism is nearly six feet tall by six feet wide. All photographs by Little Sheeba"
Text of Article -----------
"The notion of a museum springs from the passion for collecting, which is deeply rooted in human nature. All civilizations, from the most primitive to the most advanced, share the desire to accumulate objects that are beautiful, costly, rare, or merely curious."
47. The Roseville Telephone Company's museum in downtown Roseville, California is a marvelous collection of telephone technology. More than that, it reflects the history of an independent, progressive telephone company. Any telecom enthusiast should take the time to travel there, visit for an hour or two and engage in wondering, reflection and curiosity. What will you find? 300+ telephones. 12 switchboards. A test board and a toll board. Friendly telephone people to talk to. And best of all the pride of the museum a working step by step switch.
48. Step by step or Strowger switches were the mainstay of switching in rural and small town America for over forty years. I've described stepper operation in previous issues but I never thought I did a good job of explaining the process. Seeing one work is a great way to understand it. A large, open case contains the switch. Three phones are mounted on the left side of the case and three on the right. You can call from one phone to the other and in so doing observe all the action. Pick up a handset and go off hook. A selector jumps into action as you start dialing. Watch the wipers revolve as they search for a contact. Something's moving with every digit you dial. Hang up and everything resets itself with a satisfying clunk. Will you comprehend Strowger when you see it? Maybe not. But you should see it anyway. A stepper is like a Swiss watch with its insides revealed. You may not follow the function of each lever, sprocket and cam but you can appreciate its design and construction. And you can hear the wonderful clicking, chattering sound that steppers make, the sound that old switchmen get nostalgic about. The Roseville Telephone Company people will happily explain its operation. They'll even show you how the TraceaMatic works. It's a simple device once used to trace calls on a step switch.
49. The magneto powered cord switchboard is also interesting. Switchboards like these acted as a telephone company's central office before automation. This board dates back to 1914, the first year of RTC's operation. A small crank on the bottom right hand side allowed an operator to ring a customer's phone. Let the RTC people demonstrate how the board rings some of the phones on display. Vary the cranking at the switchboard and you vary the ring. That's important since RTC had more than ten subscribers on some party lines. What Roseville Telephone called farmers' lines. Each customer needed a distinctive ring, since it was the only way each party could tell if the call was for them. Party lines lasted until 1986 when the last open wire farmer line was retired. There's a nice exhibit that tells the story. That display includes square poles, insulators and samples of the wires. The two parties on that retired line, by the way, had their old monthly rate grandfathered in. To this day they pay less than $3.00 a month for phone service.
50. There's 4,000 square of exhibit space at the museum. The curator of the museum, Bob Parsons, says that Roseville Telephone will expand this to 8,000 feet within just a few years. Some of this new area will include outside plant equipment as well as a working open wire demonstration. They're even going to outfit an old telephone repair truck from the 1920's with a complete set of tools.
51. Thinking of going? I've had friends from Stockton and the San Francisco bay area say that it's well worth the drive. Plan to spend an hour to an hour and a half in the museum. Have lunch afterwards and help out the flood stricken economy. There are plenty of antique stores in Roseville in case someone with you gets bored. As well as one of the major train switching yards on the West Coast. Speaking of antiques, Roseville has a dealer who specializes in telephones. American Antiques and Collectables is located inside the building at 106 Judah Street. The old phones are expensive but you can handle them and look at them closely.
52. I tried to find out about telephone museums and collections in the United States but I've come up with only a small, incomplete list. Please write if you find something interesting in you area. Local antique dealers might help you. Go in to a large one and ask who collects telephones. A telephone collector will know if there are any museums or displays in the area. You might even be able to wrangle a tour of a private collection. Want to know more? Fagen's A History of Engineering and Operation in the Bell System: The Early Years 1875 1925 explains older phones and systems. It concentrates on Western Electric equipment but it is still invaluable on understanding early phones, PBX's, toll boards and switchboards.
53. Roseville is located 15 miles northeast of Sacramento, California Take Interstate 80 to the Atlantic Street off ramp. Head north into Roseville. Atlantic becomes Vernon downtown. The address of the museum is 106 Vernon. It is open on Saturdays only from 10 to 4. Look for the only building with a cell tower on top.
54. Welcome to the telecom related magazine list of private line. This is an update to the list that first appeared in issue Number 5. I think it is the best magazine list on the Internet. I hope to update this every two months or so. Addresses are for subscriptions and samples. I didn't include editorial addresses to save space. Quoted material comes from a magazine's masthead or from a reader's comments. Let me know if you find any mistakes in this list or if you find a magazine that I should be aware of.
55. Some of these magazines will give you free subs if you take it third class and are "qualified" to have it. My advice is to ask for a sub, fill out their form and let them make the decision. Who knows? Maybe the magazine needs more subscribers so that they can charge higher ad rates. I personally am always willing to pay for a sample copy.
56. See what happens after you write in. Then start filling out product information cards in the magazines that arrive. Be specific. The trick is to get a low cost flow of information into your mailbox. Really broke but still interested? Ask for their writers' guidelines along with a sample. Or ask for a media kit. Dummy up some letterhead at Office Depot and call yourself a consultant if you have to. But I just use my real name. That's worked so far.

America's Network

Advantstar Communications 131 West First Street Duluth MN 55802-2065
Twice a month. $44 a year to United States addresses. A sample is $4.95.
Antique Telephone Collectors Association Newsletter
A publication of the ATCA. It contains news of their organization as well as interesting articles on the history of telephony.

AT&T Technical Journal
Not as technical as the old B.S.T.J. nor understandable as the old Bell Laboratories Record., the AT&T Technical Journal does come up with some fascinating articles. No. 73 was on AT&T switches. The 5ESS-2000 and the 4ESS were both reviewed along with a lengthy discussion of how cellular and PCS calls are switched.
Circulation Group, Room 3C-417 AT&T Bell Laboratories 600 Mountain Ave. P.O. Box 636 Murray Hill, N.J. 07974-0636 (908) 582-4019

Bell Labs News
Nicely done tabloid sized, 6 page newspaper that's published bi- weekly. Closed subscriber list. Limited to employees of AT&T . I got a copy from a subscriber but you may want to try the person below:

"The Official Hacker's Magazine". A nicely done magazine out of southern California. It's well worth looking for. You'll probably want to subscribe if you enjoy 2600 or my magazine.
P.O. Box 2506 Cypress, CA 90630 (310) 596-4673
Quarterly. $20 a year. $5.00 for a sample.
Cabling Business Magazine
"The Only Telecommunications Copper and Fiber Optics Cabling and Wiring Magazine for Voice, Data, and Image." These people seem a little too eager to give you a subscription. Wouldn't even tell me the price of a sample or sub over the phone. They insisted on sending a free copy. In addition, the publication is very practical and interesting. Write for this one!
Cabling Business Magazine P.O. Box 496177 Garland TX 754049-6177 (214) 328-1717
Call Center
A call center is a place that takes a customer's calls. It might be a catalog sales center or a cable TV company's order department. Interesting enough to check out. "Ten Ways To Foil a Hacker" was a good, non-hysterical article on fraud.
Call Center 1265 Industrial Highway Southampton, PA 18966 1-800-677-3435 MCI Mail 627-4700. Monthly. US: 12 issues for $14. Canada: $20.
Cellular Business
"This rag sucks and doesn't contain much more than fluffy press releases from the manufacturers of phones and accessories. No technical information, and they ran an article on cellular fraud that was grossly inaccurate and belonged in a Sunday newspaper supplement. I subscribed, and then refused to send them the $39 they wanted for a subscription. Just glossy garbage." Your editor, though, thinks that it really is worth a look, they seem to be getting better.
Cellular Business Intertec Publishing Corp. P.O. Box 12901 Overland Park, KS 66282-2901 (913) 341-1300
Monthly. $24 a year to qualified subscribers. Call for free sample.

Another publication that I haven't seen but one that David Crowe recommends. He says it is trying to take on a more technical focus. Write for a sample.
Argus Circulation Center P.O. Box 41528 Nashville, TN 37204
$29 for a U.S. sub and $39 for a Canadian or Mexican subscription.
Cellular Network Perspectives
Expertly done, professional newsletter. David Crowe focuses on networks, protocols and general cellular concepts, rather than on exact technical details. It gives you the big picture without any corporate slant.
Cellular Networking Perspectives 2636 Toronto Crescent NW Calgary, AB T2N 3W1 Canada (403) 289-6609 (403) 289-6658 FAX email@example.com
Monthly. $150 a year for small business and educational customers. $250 otherwise. All back issues available He'll mail or fax you a copy of "IS-41 Explained" if you like. Computer Telephony

Computer Telephony 1265 Industrial Highway Southampton, PA 18966
1-800-677-3435 email@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com
Electronic Design
A real find. Features articles occasionally on telecom. Goldberg's article on PCS, for example, was a better read than a similar article that ran about the same time in the expensive IEEE Personal Communications.

Supposedly $105 a year. Write for a sample -- you should be able to wrangle a free sub from them.

In Bed With... Anderson Wild
In ZOO's bed this week is Anderson Wild. Watch her video then scroll down for her sex advice and amazing pictures. This is one girl who more than lives up to her name...
FROM London
HEIGHT 5ft 9in
FAVOURITE POSITION Doggie
MOST SEX IN ONE DAY So many times I can't remember!
STEAMIEST SEX CONFESSION I've had sex in a restaurant
Anderson Wild on... Panties
'All the girls I know love to dress up! We love finding little kinky items to make you squirm. Even the seemingly shy ladies will have a few naughties tucked away, guaranteed! I like to have fun with G -strings, experimenting with colours and fabrics to create sexy sensations on my skin. A cool gift for a new girlfriend is panties that you'd love to see her in; it'll make her want to be extra naughty for you! Although I'd definitely root through her drawers first to check on her size…'
'What can I do to delay my goo?'
When I have sex, I sometimes come far too quickly and it's annoying my girlfriend. What can I do to prolong our sessions?
- Paul, via email
Anderson says... 'Whack out a dildo and pleasure her! Just because your fun has finished doesn't mean hers has too. Don't tell me you're one of those guys who rolls over once he's had his goods, because if you were my man and you did that, I would beat you! Bring out the toys and explore your girl's body with other parts of yours.'
'Taking matters into my own hands'
I'm a single lad and I often have to see to myself up to five times a day. My mates say I'm doing it too much. Are they right?
- Dean, Enfield
Anderson says... 'I think you should play to your heart's content! A guy with a high sex drive is never a problem. Just make sure when you get a girl you keep up the stamina. Why are you listening to your mates? They probably do far worse stuff that they don't tell you about…'
'Seaside fun was pure water torture'
On holiday my girl and I decided to have a quickie in the sea. Unfortunately it caused more pain than pleasure. Is this normal or should we try again?
- Kyle, via email
Anderson says... 'Sex on the beach or in the sea isn't my thing, really. It's way too messy. I'd stick to the shower if you're wanting to splash about while having your fun – it's far less painful and you don't have to be quiet or discreet because you're in the privacy of your own place, which means you can be really naughty!'
'How do I give my missus a gagging order?'
When my girlfriend tries to deep-throat me, she often ends up gagging – which can be very off-putting. How do I persuade her that less is best?
- Jason, Essex
Anderson... 'I doubt she's enjoying gagging the night away, either! Maybe she thinks that's the only way it can be pleasurable for you, so show her how to do it without leaving her teary eyed and feeling sick.'
Ever thought about subscribing to ZOO?
It means getting a brand new copy in the post every week, full of the hottest girls, best sport and funniest banter - for far less than it costs you in the shop.
We even throw in a free Brylcreem grooming set to keep you looking your best. ZOO subscription details here.

This movies needs to be released on DVD
- Joan
- 7/14/09
Fantastic movie with great shots of San Francisco. Arthur Franz is an under appreciated character actor who shines in this role as a tormented person who takes out his pain on innocent people.
well written story
- steven mckeachie
- 6/22/09
I loved this movie, and seems ahead of its time with the subject matter related too a psychological disturbed man who desperately wants help for his increasing duality with his rage and anger for being rejected by people in general and targets brunettes as the object of his increasing anger and hatred but can get no help for himself too stop these urges too hurt and too kill but receives none until he is way over the edge and is trying too come back. I recognized many of the actors especiallya young richard kiley and i swear the teen brought into custody was present day actor and country singer,Randy travis. Am I correct. And i noticed a supposed young girl at the scene of the 1st murder who looked alot like "jeff" from the classic tv series "Lassie". Please feel free too respond/ Steven M
Outstanding filmnoir!
- Barry
- 4/7/09
When I first saw this film, I was completely amazed by the realistic special effects, which, at that time,were remarkable. The shots alone make this a knock-out. I agree,this film should be on DVD.
Really Great Thriller
- Wayne Frese
- 10/13/08
It really shows the reality of a poor lonely individual who has been hurt by women and there seems no way out except to commit crime. We need more films and stories of this nature.
Poor misunderstood Eddie...
- 6/29/07
Well, boys, I love a good slice of noir as much as the next hard-boiled dame, but, wow, this is the most agressively misogynistic film I've seen on TCM since "While the City Sleeps."
Great thriller!
- Mychal Bowden
- 4/30/07
I'm surprised that Columbia has not released this on DVD. For such a risque film for the time it was made, it packs a wallop. Arthur Franz is at his best as the title character while Adolphe Menjou gives a strong performance as the detective trying to find him. Please have Columbia consider this for DVD...I would be glad to put out my money for this. Before you place a home video vote for this, see the film. Believe me, it will blow you away.
Good, But Not Great!
- Scott Dwyer
- 3/6/07
Interesting and well done film. The shots of mid-century San Francisco alone make the film worth seeing. The monologues by the police psychiatrist was a bit preachy and could easily have been cut. Music was great and some of the scenes were highly original. However, I never felt any tension or suspense.
Very good movie!
- Sonnie
- 2/28/07
Keep reaching into your old bag of black and whites. I have never seen this movie in all of my TCM years. This movie belongs with the old gangster James Cagney movies that are unduplicable. The old are the best and we want to see them. Please keep digging into the past good old Hollywood years. What a pleasure they are.

my application want to call a method of a class that is from another AppDomain.
AppDomain env = AppDomain.CreateDomain(
new AppDomainSetup() { ApplicationName = "test" }
Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom("d:\\testenv1\\test2.dll");
//env.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(env_AssemblyResolve);
ObjectHandle o = env.CreateInstance(a.FullName, "Test2.Class1");
now i have the object handle of the Test2.Class1, but i have no idea how to invode the "action" method of the Class1 class.
the "action" method likes this:
public void action()
Console.WriteLine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName + " ok");
i tried to use o.unwrap() method to get the reference of the object, but it seems the object has been transferred into the current domain, so the output of the "action" method prints the current domain name.
thanks, david

July 15, 2010 Warren Dredge Ponds ReportPosted by Nate at 8:41 PM on Thursday, Jul 15th, 2010
One of Idaho's great hidden gems is the Warren Dredge Ponds located about 40 miles north of McCall on Warren Wagon Road. The Dredge Ponds are 2 miles outside of the town of Warren, which used to be a thriving metropolis back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The whole valley was once a lush meadow with a gorgeous stream (Warren Creek) running through the center of it. The early pioneers discovered gold and silver in the valley and this is how the dredge ponds came into existence. In the middle of the valley lies remnants of an old dredger that created a unique fishery in the state of Idaho. The ponds are stocked to the gills (no pun intended) with little eastern brooks that are prime for the taking if you have the right fly.
I had the distinct pleasure of fishing with one of the best fly fishermen I have ever fished with; my brother Nathan. Nathan resides in Nashville Tennessee, and he only fly fishes when he comes home, but he never seems to lose his touch. We started off fishing at one of the several ponds and we both had tied on an Emperor Caddis Black #20. We separated and both took a different side of the pond so we could divide and conquer. Like clockwork, Nathan's first cast resulted in a nice 7" brookie; and from that point on, I was playing catch up to keep up with his catch numbers. After about 25 fish, Nathan's Emperor Caddis Black had seen better days, so he tied on a new fly, one that he thought was an Emperor Caddis. It turns out he had tied on a goose biot mayfly and suddenly he was getting no bites or any false takes. At this point we were separated and I had no idea why he was not catching any fish because I was routinely catching fish on the Emperor Caddis Black. We finished fishing that pond and we met back up and I looked at his fly and realized he was using the wrong fly for the job. Whenever you are fishing a heavily fished area there is no substitute for the right fly.
So the day went on fishing miscellaneous ponds catching small brookies, so we decided to fish Warren Creek to see if bigger fish resided in it. We started on the lower section and we picked up a couple, but the fish were small so we headed up river to find bigger fish. I decided to tie on a Beetle #12 and started fishing upside down for the fish. I would cast down river and skate my beetle across holding waters and out of nowhere fish would strike the beetle like a bolt of lightening. Anytime you are faced with crystal clear water and fish that spook easy, the upside down technique is a great way to pick up fish that otherwise you would've scared before you got a hook in front of them. We fished on for a few more hours, picking up some nice brookies and wild native rainbows.
My brother and I finished up the day on one more pond, and we decided to use new flies and experiment a little bit. I had tied on a Black Ant #14 and Nathan tied on a Little Morman Girl #16. We fished on picking up a few more fish before we called it a day and headed back to camp. On the day we caught lots of fish, we had some good gut laughs and waded through some very cold stretches of river. The flies we used on the day were:
Emperor Caddis Black #20 & #18
Beetle #16
Black Ant #14
Emperor Caddis Gray #18
Little Mormon Girl #16

Dr. Marc Moramarco is a graduate of Boston University and the National University of Health Sciences (formerly National College of Chiropractic). He is an international expert in the Schroth Method – a curve-pattern specific scoliosis exercise technique for scoliosis management. He is a Schroth Best Practice® Advanced Instructor and the North American provider of the innovative Chêneau-Gensingen® Brace for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
He has treated patients with all types of spinal and musculoskeletal disorders at his clinic, Moramarco Chiropractic Office, PC, near Boston since 1985. In 2001, his life took a turn when he diagnosed his twelve-year-old daughter with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis when he began the search that led him to the Schroth Method.
Upon discovering the potential of the conservative method of scoliosis treatment, he aggressively pursued its study. Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss, medical director at the Asklepios Katharina Schroth Clinic, Germany, became a trusted advisor and mentor. Dr. Moramarco continued to pursue study under every notable European Schroth expert. In 2007, he became the first U.S. physician to gain Schroth Method certification in Germany, and later, certified in both the A & B levels of Schroth Best Practice®, the newest evolution of the technique.
Dr. Moramarco is a member of the Schroth Best Practice® Academy board. He is a co-author with Dr. Weiss and Christa Lehnert-Schroth PT, in the recent publication of Schroth Therapy: Advancements in Conservative Scoliosis Treatment, on the editorial board of scoliosis journal – online, and a founding member of SOSORT: The Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment. He has collaborated with Dr. Weiss on several papers on scoliosis and lectured internationally on the conservative treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Dr. Moramarco offers an outpatient immersion program using Schroth Best Practice® methodology, an version advanced by Dr. Weiss making the method more more effective and user-friendly so that patients may integrate the management principles into daily activities.
In 2013, Dr. Moramarco introduced the Chêneau-Gensingen® scoliosis brace in the United States. This Schroth method compatible brace means that he has the ability to offer patients a two-pronged approach using congruent methodologies for the best potential outcomes. His patients consistently demonstrate significant postural improvements and even Cobb angle reduction, to some extent.
Dr. Moramarco is dedicated to helping frustrated families who are offered no alternatives to 'watch and wait' and surgery for AIS. Adults with scoliosis and post-surgical patients seek out his expertise for spinal stabilization, balance and pain relief. His back-school is designed to educate, empower and enable those with scoliosis. Patients from all over the globe travel to Boston for his clinical expertise in non-surgical management techniques for scoliosis.

You don't have to look very far to find a female who loves Star Wars (here's where I raise my hand) but over at Under Armour, it seems the company thinks only members of the male population are into buying merchandise tied to the franchise.

"Boy" Costume For Female Star Wars Character Was Supposed To Be Unisex, Says Manufacturer
You might be aware of this, but Disney has a new Star Wars flick coming out soon. As such, there's been a flood of products tied to The Force Awakens — everything from toys to costumes, droid dolls to pajama sets. One of those costumes is for the Captain Phasma character, a new villain played by Gwendoline Christie (aka Brienne of Tarth on Game of Thrones) — a character that girls and boys alike might want to dress up as for Halloween (or for a regular Tuesday). So how come it's being sold with a "BOY" label on it in a store? [More]
Star Wars Films To Finally Become Digital Downloads

Disney To "Significantly" Increase Star Wars Presence At Theme Parks
When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, it wasn't just doing us all a favor by wresting the Star Wars films from the tinkering hands of George Lucas, nor was Disney merely thinking about box-office revenues from the eventual Star Wars sequels it would produce. Disney also has a few theme parks you might have heard of, and it thinks people might be interested in checking out a Star Wars attraction or two at these parks. [More]

TSA Agents Don't Care If You're Chewbacca Himself — That Lightsaber Is Suspicious
For any fan of Star Wars, it would be hard, nay — impossible — to contain the squeals of glee one's mouth would emit upon meeting any of the franchise's most important cast members (Jar Jar Binks, we are definitely not talking to you). But it seems the Transportation Security Administration either don't know the man who filled Chewbacca's furry shoes or aren't willing to give Peter Mayhew special treatment. He was stopped while boarding a flight on account of his cane, which, of course, is shaped like a lightsaber. [More]
Help Us, Obi Wan Kenobi: EA Signs Deal With Disney To Publish New Star Wars Games
As a Consumerist reader and tipster puts it, the news that Electronic Arts has signed a deal to develop and publish games based off Star Wars, it's as if "millions of Star Wars gamer nerds cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…" That's a reference to (spoiler alert) the destruction of an entire planet (Alderaan) in Episode IV, for those not in the know.

"Thereby Hangs a Tail" is the second book of an irresistible series narrated by a loveable and wise dog. In the newest Chet and Bernie mystery, Chet gets a glimpse of the show dog world turned deadly.
Praised by Stephen King as "a canine Sam Spade," Chet and his human companion, Bernie, have both had some setbacks in life -- Bernie in combat, Chet in K-9 school, but together they make up a team like no other.
In this book, Bernie and Chet are called on to investigate threats made against an unlikely target -- a pampered show dog named Princess. Full of suspense and intrigue combined with humor and insight into the bond between man and dog, "Thereby Hangs a Tail," by Spencer Quinn, is on the Reserve Shelf at Walla Walla Public Library.
Featured books will be available for the public today. They can also be placed on hold online at wallawallapubliclibrary,org or call the library for assistance at 527-4550. Other books include:
"Climate of Change," by Piers Anthony Others "Anthropology of an American Girl," by Hilary Thayer Hamann; "Murder in the Latin Quarter," by Cara Black; "Murder in Baker Company," by Cilla McCain; "Perspectives on Design: Pacific Northwest"
The saga begins in the mists of time, more than 100,000 years ago in the Rift Valley of Africa, the birthplace of mankind.
Sparse rain and dry winds have driven those few earliest humans out of that early paradise in search of sustenance.
Here, one remarkable tribe will play a crucial role in the history of our kind.
The leader of this band, known only as Hero, is young, strong and courageous. It is his vision and determination that has allowed them to survive their arduous journey to find a new home for his people.
This powerful tale of adventure and exploration, passion and betrayal continues through millennia of human history, with the same remarkable characters playing out their human dramas of love and heroism, savagery and deduction in some of the momentous turning points in human history. SClBNonfiction
"Amelia Earhart: The Thrill of It," by Susan Wels
She was an American idol, and her disappearance is still one of the great unsolved mysteries. Amelia Earhart, daring and determined, was the first woman pilot to make the dangerous solo plight across the Atlantic and the first flyer who ever crossed the Pacific alone in an airplane.
Beginning with her spirited, fiercely independent childhood and the fateful phone call in 1928 that brought her the chance to become the first woman to fly the Atlantic, "Amelia Earhart: The Thrill of It," traces her progress from bookish tomboy to worldwide celebrity.
Including newly revealed details about her friendships and marriage to George Palmer Putnam, the latest developments in the continuing investigation into her mysterious disappearance and a wealth of fascinating images -- many never published before -- this captivating biography brings the unforgettable story of Amelia Earhart up to date.
"The Hypochondriacs: Nine Tormented Lives," by Brian Dillon
Charlotte Bronte found in her illnesses, real and imagined, an escape from familial and social duties and the perfect conditions for writing. The German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber believed his body was being colonized and transformed at the hands of God and doctors alike. Andy Warhol was terrified by disease and by the idea of disease. Glenn Gould claimed a friendly pat on his shoulder had destroyed his ability to play piano. And we all know someone who has trawled the Internet, seeking the source of fantastical symptoms.
Brian Dillon unravels the connections between real and imagined illness, irrational fear and rational concern, the mind's aches and body's ideas.

Man's penis picture 'didn't break the law'Comment on this story
Atlanta - A man accused of texting an unsolicited picture of his tattooed genitals to a married mother of young children did not commit a crime under a Georgia state nudity law, the state's Supreme Court ruled on Monday.
Charles Lee Warren faced up to three years in prison after being indicted under a 1970 Georgia law that makes it illegal to send unsolicited nude photographs by mail without a proper warning on the outside of the envelope.
Prosecutors said he texted the picture of his tattooed penis in October 2012 to a woman who then complained to police. According to prosecutors, Warren's genitals were tattooed with the phrase, "STRONG Enuf 4 A MAN BUT Made 4 A WOMAN".
The Georgia Supreme Court said the state law did not cover photos sent electronically through a cellphone text message, and justices dismissed the criminal charge in a unanimous decision.
Legislation proposed last year to amend the law to include pictures transmitted electronically did not pass, according to Georgia General Assembly records.
The state has no other law governing these types of cases, said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens.
"We respectfully accept the decision of the Georgia Supreme Court," Cherokee County District Attorney Shannon Wallace, whose office prosecuted the texting case, said in a statement.
The defendant's attorney, Donald Roch, also challenged the law on the ground that it violated his client's First Amendment guarantee of free speech, but the court did not address that constitutional issue.
"Obviously, we're pleased with the ruling," Roch said. - Reuters

WWF's wishlist for SA environmentComment on this story
Cape Town - Conservation group WWF-SA is hoping President Zuma will tackle urgent environmental concerns in his State of the Nation Address on Thursday, as well as dealing with critical subjects like education, employment and health.
The group says there is a "strong need for environmental prioritisation" and has put together a short wish-list with four key issues and recommendations:
l No fracking without environmental safeguards.
l Provide leadership on minimising the affect of coal mining on water.
l Introduce joint operations with both Vietnam and Mozambique to cut poaching of rhinos.
l Create opportunities for alternative energy sources.
Last year WWF-SA expressed "deeply disappointment" at the cabinet's decision to lift the moratorium on shale-gas exploration using fracking.
"We maintain our scepticism on the issue of fracking, and are of the view that the moratorium should have remained in place so that environmental externalities, such as the water and carbon footprints, associated with shale-gas exploration could be properly interrogated," Saliem Fakir, head of the group's Living Planet Unit, said at the time.
He said lifting the moratorium placed some of South Africa's sensitive ecological systems under serious threat. But the group had welcomed Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu's commitment last year to adopting an integrated licensing system and to prohibit mining in ecologically-sensitive areas, as well as her acknowledgment of environmental challenges in Mpumalanga, which was vital for water production. - Cape Argus
