The 14 Best Housing Markets For The Next Five Years
Mamta Badkar / Business Insider / May 20, 2013
National home prices are down 29.1% since their Q1 2006 peak.
But over the next five years they are expected to rise 3.9%, according to the latest CoreLogic Case-Shiller report.
We drew on the latest data to identify the best housing markets for the next five years.
The top 15 cities are ranked by the projected annualized change in home prices between Q4 2012 and Q4 2017.
We also included the median home price, median household income, unemployment rate, and the change in home prices since their peak, to offer a broader view of the local economy and housing market.

Is Generation Y a 'Game Changer' for Housing?
Kris Hudson / The Wall Street Journal / May 15, 2013
Many housing observers agree that Generation Y—people from 18 to 34 years of age—largely prefers downtown living, often in rental apartments with easy access to walkable neighborhoods and public transportation.
The real question is whether they'll outgrow those tastes once they earn higher salaries and have kids.
The Urban Land Institute, or ULI, the land-use association that long has championed dense development over sprawl, this week plans to release the results of a survey of generational housing preferences, highlighting those of Generation Y. The survey, to be released atRead More
From Floor to Ceiling, Construction Companies Growing
Mary Ellen Biery/ Forbes / May 12, 2013
Private companies working on everything from the foundation to the roof of buildings are generating double-digit sales growth as the construction sector strengthens, according to data from Sageworks, a financial information company.
The majority of U.S. construction companies are privately held, so their performance is critical to the overall industry and the economy. The Private Company Report by Sageworks, a monthly update on the health of private companies in America, shows that several categories of construction posted mid-teen percentage sales increases in the 12 months endedRead More
Redfin Bidding War Report Shows Early Signs of a Cooling Real Estate Market in Some Cities While Competition Intensifies in Others

Seventy-three Percent of Home Offers Faced Competition in April, the Lowest Level this Year

Housing's humming, but it's a 'still-could-go-either-way' market
John McManus / BUILDER / May 1, 2013
This week's two key housing benchmarks, Pending Home Sales as released by the National Association of Realtors on Monday, and yesterday's Case-Shiller home price index individually and together speak to a housing market on the mend.
Pending homes sales count contracts and look forward to completions of home sale transaction at the closing table. Case-Shiller numbers look backwards at a previous three-month period, ending in February of this year, and track the trend line of prices in major buckets of 10- and 20-cities.

Stalking the Elusive Love Style: Attachment Styles, Love Styles, and Relationship Development
Keith E. Davis University of South Carolina Lee A. Kirkpatrick College of William and Mary Marc B. Levy Levy Counseling & Consulting, Salt Lake City, UT Robin E. O'Hearn St. Lawrence University
The primary aim of this chapter is to provide a comparative analysis of the contributions that attachment theory ( Hazan & Shaver, 1987, 1990, 1993; Shaver & Hazan, 1992) and love styles theory ( Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986, 1990; Lee, 1973-1976, 1988) make to an understanding of relationship development among premarital heterosexual couples. One theme concerns conceptual clarification, because many elementary treatments of romantic love present these two approaches as essentially on a par with each and leave the impression that each is concerned primarily with individual differences in the experience of love relationships. We argue that such an impression is quite misleading, and that the potential range of phenomena relevant to love that may be explained by each theory is quite different in scope. To anticipate our conclusion, we argue that attachment theory is both potentially more powerful in its ability to integrate both normative and individual differences relevant to love than is love styles theory, and that empirically attachment theory has already shown its ability to generate both novel and integrative findings.
The second theme of the chapter is the empirical examination of three aspects of relationship development within the context of a 3-year study of unmarried couples. The three issues that we examine are (a) partner pairing and choice,

MAYWOOD, IL) July 23, 2007 - Mary Klotz Walker, RN, PhD, FAAN, professor and dean of the College of Nursing at Seattle University, Seattle, Wash., has accepted the position as dean of the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, Loyola University, Chicago. Her start date is Oct. 1, 2007.
"We're proud that Dr. Walker, who is an alumna of Loyola University, Chicago, has been selected for this important role," said Paul K. Whelton, MD, MSc, president and chief executive officer of Loyola University Health System.
"As we enter a period of growth and change, Dr. Walker's leadership in direction setting, and her tremendous development capability will help to bring new vitality and to the Niehoff school. At the same time, her personal warmth and collegiality will help to further collaborations that will enhance the academic life of our nursing students," Whelton added.
A native of Lansing, Mich., Walker has served as professor and dean at Seattle University since 2000. Prior to her move to Seattle, she served as professor and director of the Doctoral Program, University of South Florida, Tampa. Walker has been a member of the Board of Trustees of Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, since 2003, and is a representative on numerous key committees. On a national level, she was recently elected to the Board of Directors American Association of Colleges of Nursing, while locally she has served as secretary on the Board of Directors of the Northwest Kidney Center Foundation and is a member of the Governor's Task Force on Long-term Care. Over her career, she has held numerous professional memberships and positions of leadership for regional, state and national nursing societies and review boards for nursing research.
An experienced and successful academic administrator, Walker's list of accomplishments during her tenure at Seattle University's College of Nursing is long and varied. From 2000-2007, she led an effort to double the size of the college and attract new faculty, with a 36 percent increase in undergraduate enrollment, and a 170 percent increase in graduate enrollment. Her effectiveness at fund-raising is evidenced by her ability to bring in $9.6 million in gifts and pledges for the College of Nursing since her appointment as dean. Walker's efforts also increased ethnic diversity at the nursing school.
Under Walker's leadership, Seattle University College of Nursing developed a fast-track immersion master's entry program, the first in the northwestern United States. Her efforts also led to the opening of a 21,000-square-foot Clinical Performance Laboratory that includes clinical simulators, exam rooms for nurse practitioner education and other instructional areas.
Walker's commitment to public service and community outreach is evidenced by her involvement in numerous organizations that seek to serve the greater good and to help individuals, families, and communities who have health-care needs.
In applying for the post as the Niehoff School of Nursing dean, Walker wrote, "[Loyola University Chicago] was the institution that shaped my thinking and commitment around issues of social justice and influenced my career as a nurse, an academic, a scholar, and a servant to others."
The Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, SJ, president of Loyola University, Chicago, said, "Mary's depth of experience in academic and clinical nursing will make her a strong leader for our Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. I look forward to her and her faculty developing a strategic plan for the school over the next several months."

Dallas, TX – People who gradually increase the amount of salt in their diet and people who habitually eat a higher salt diet both face an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
In a Japanese study of more than 4,000 people who had normal blood pressure, almost 23 percent developed high blood pressure over a three year period. Those who ate the most salt were the most likely to have high blood pressure by the end of the study. Participants who gradually increased their sodium intake also showed gradually higher blood pressure.

Washington, D.C. – Mission controllers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, have confirmed that MESSENGER slammed into the surface of Mercury on April 30th at 3:26pm EDT.
It had used the last of its propellant on April 24th and could no longer maintain a stable orbit. Traveling some 8,750 mph, the plummeting spacecraft made an unseen crater on the side of the planet facing away from Earth.

Dallas, TX – Eating Mediterranean or DASH-style diets, regularly engaging in physical activity and keeping your blood pressure under control can lower your risk of a first-time stroke, according to updated AHA/ASA guideline published in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke.
"We have a huge opportunity to improve how we prevent new strokes, because risk factors that can be changed or controlled — especially high blood pressure — account for 90 percent of strokes," said James Meschia, M.D., lead author of the study and professor and chairman of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

Nashville, TN – Americans' love for salt is having a dramatic impact on their health. The average American takes in more than 3,400 milligrams of sodium each day—almost 2,000 milligrams more than the limit recommended by the American Heart Association (1500 mg/day).
Sodium is an essential nutrient and a little salt can be part of a healthy diet, but the amounts we are eating are far too high and can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
Nashville, TN – Take the pledge – to reduce your salt intake. It may save your life.
Americans eat too much salt, and most have no idea how much they are eating, according to new consumer research by the American Heart Association.
Nearly all of the 1,000 people surveyed by the American Heart Association (97 percent) either underestimated or could not estimate how much sodium they eat every day. Too much sodium in the diet can increase risk for high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and other major health problems.
Dallas, TX – Men who eat moderate amounts of processed red meat may have an increased risk of incidence and death from heart failure, according to a study in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Processed meats are preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives. Examples include cold cuts (ham, salami), sausage, bacon and hot dogs.

San Francisco, CA – Overweight or obese teenagers who eat lots of salty foods may show signs of faster cell aging, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology & Prevention/Nutrition, Physical Activity & Metabolism Scientific Sessions 2014.
"Lowering sodium intake, especially if you are overweight or obese, may slow down the cellular aging process that plays an important role in the development of heart disease," said Haidong Zhu, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study and assistant professor of pediatrics at Medical College of Georgia, Georgia Regents University in Augusta, GA.

Washington, D.C. – Back in the 60s and 70s, Apollo astronauts circling the Moon saw something that still puzzles researchers today. About 10 seconds before lunar sunrise or lunar sunset, pale luminous streamers would pop up over the gray horizon. These "twilight rays" were witnessed by crew members of Apollo 8, 10, 15 and 17.
Back on Earth, we see twilight rays all the time as shafts of sunlight penetrate evening clouds and haze. The "airless Moon" shouldn't have such rays, yet the men of Apollo clearly saw them.

Foucault's strategy of genealogy aims to uncover the construction of subjectivity, knowledge, and power in modern societies through attempting to question the claims of agency on the part of self-reflective subjects. Foucault's early writings exhibit an affinity with structuralist themes in their focus on discourse and rule-governed systems. The subversion of meaning and the subject, along with the rejection of teleological history which he shares with structuralism, forms part of his response to the dominance of phenomenology in French intellectual debates in the 1950s. 1
Foucault acknowledges his twin indebtedness to Heidegger and Nietzsche and endorses Heidegger's hermeneutic approach insofar as it shares his own hostility to a phenomenological view of the subject as meaning-giving, whether in its Kantian or Husserlian forms. 2 However, Foucault wishes to move beyond Heidegger's hermeneutics of suspicion, which still retains an appeal to truth and authority within a narrative of liberation. Nietzsche supplies the methodological resources for Foucault's shifting strategies in positioning his work beyond structuralism, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. 3
Foucault's research postulates a watershed located at the end of the eighteenth century in the study of human beings. 4 The growth of the human sciences was accompanied by an understanding of human beings as both knowing subjects and objects of their own knowledge. This Kantian view of "man" entailed human beings' ability to confer meaning

Loud Boombox to Discourage Bad Buskers?
My neighborhood is full of buskers in the summer. Some are excellent musicians. Some are easy to ignore. Some of them can't hit two notes in a row, and sing the same five songs over and over. I generally ask them nicely to move a block away, but some won't do it. Unfortunately, I can't work in the presence of off-key singing. I would like a powerful boombox to play Louis Armstrong at them until they move away. Recommendations? Bonus points if it pairs easily with an iPhone.

What Will It Cost to Work in Seattle?
I'm considering a possible tech job in the Seattle area (actually Kirkland). I live in Montreal. We're not planning to relocate to Seattle as yet -- it's a 9-12 month contract only. What sort of expenses should I factor in? A two bedroom apartment my family can visit, a car, health insurance (as a dual national, I don't pay for health insurance here in Quebec), trips home... anything else? I'm trying to figure out how much I would net after the temporary relocation expenses. (The company does not pay relocation expenses.) What sort of non-financial factors should I consider, based on your experience temporarily relocating without your family?
Best Civil War History from the Confederate Side?
I've been reading Bruce Catton's history of the Army of the Potomac, which is excellent. It occurs to me I've only ever read Civil War history from the Union side. So, it's all about those terrible Union generals and all the mistakes they made, and Lincoln's frustration, and how eventually superior manpower and manufacturing, and the Emancipation Proclamation, crushed the feisty Rebs. Now I'd like to read about what the Rebs were thinking during the Late, Great Unpleasantness. Who's the Bruce Catton of the South?
I Need a Mini Bouvier
The beloved Bouzou Dog left us years ago. I would love another Bouvier, but I can no longer carry a hundred pound dog; and sooner or later, you have to carry your dog. The Bouzou Dog was true to breed: even-tempered, active out of doors, lazy in the apartment, alert to new people without being barky, watchful of our daughter, smart, trainable, and non-sheddy (hence relatively hypo-allergenic). What sort of mid-sized (30-50 pound) dog has all those attributes?
Kid-Friendly Flash Builder?
My 9-year-old daughter likes to animate things on GoAnimate.com. The website allows you to upload flash animations, and she'd like to make her own animations of, say, the Sesame Street characters. The canonical program for building flash animations is Adobe Flash Professional. I'm guessing that is beyond her capabilities (and may be beyond mine!). Are there simpler programs that allow a patient but unsophisticated user to build very simple flash animations?
What is this chair?
What is this chair? My wife, a huge fan of design magazines, doesn't recognize it. She thinks it might be handmade, but it looks too industrial for that. No marks on the chair, either. What is it?
When should I buy LED light bulbs?
Dimmable LED light bulbs seem more economical than halogens. But they're really expensive. Will they quickly come down in price, so I should wait? Or will they come down slowly, so I might as well start saving? Also, how good is the dimming? I tried dimmable CFL's, but they don't seem to dim past 50%.
Why multi-masted schooners?
Many early sailboats were fore-and-aft rigged, e.g. Egyptian Nile sailboats of antiquity. But soon enough, boat designers moved to square-rigged ships. Then, just before the end of the Age of Sail, at the beginning of the 20th Century, come these ships with multiple schooner-rigged (fore and aft) sails, for example the seven-masted Thomas Lawson and all of these six-masters and all of these five-masters. What was the advantage of the many-masted schooner, and why did it come so late in the development of the commercial sailing vessel?
Could Dental Anesthesia Possibly Kill My Daughter?
My 9-year-old autistic daughter has 5 cavities, three in adult teeth. The dentist wants to put her under general anesthesia. While this would certainly be way more convenient for the dentist, and less hellish for her, I'm concerned about the dangers of anesthesia. I've read about hospital patients suffocating in anesthesia screwups. Is that a possible outcome in dental anesthesia, or is that a different procedure? Do I have a reasonable concern? Should we try to do it normally? Snowflake details: on the spectrum, she's definitely a bit more sensitive and rigid than neurotypical kids, but not drastically so. On a side note: how important is it to fill cavities in baby teeth she will probably lose in a year or two?
How to improv in a rehearsal of a written scene?
I'm looking for advice and resources on how to use improv to flesh out a written scene. I'm not looking for freestyle improv where you're trying to create a new situation, or general theater games, but a more targeted form of improv, where you already have a scene and characters and backstory and dialog, but you want to get the actors to exercise their imagination and flesh out the relationships rather than just play the dialog that's already on the page. What are some parameters? How involved should an improv scenario be in this situation? Should you tell the actors where to end up? How far do you let it go?
Too much growth hormones in the chickens?
Our 9 year old daughter is maturing alarmingly fast physically. Should we be concerned? And is there any way it has anything to do with our habit of eating roast chickens from the supermarket? Could it have anything to do with growth hormones in the chickens?

My daughter loves to make cartoons on GoAnimate.com. But it is an incredibly cranky site on Chrome on her Mac, often freezing, and always incredibly slow. Is it just a slow site? Would it be better on a different browser? Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Are the student or professional versions faster? Is there a better site to make animations on? (She's 8.)

I went to two open houses at Rockefeller before enrolling, and the students overwhelmingly confirmed what I'd heard about it. I was drawn to the program's flexibility, and the fact that in such a tightly knit community, I'll have an opportunity to learn so much more than just my own field."
- The online application for the David Rockefeller Graduate Program is now available. The deadline for applications is Dec. 1, 2015.
- GRE General Test scores are required. Our institution code is 2761.
The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned center for research and graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry and biophysics. The university's Ph.D. program offers rigorous training in the biomedical and physical sciences and close mentoring by faculty. Rockefeller also offers one of the nation's top M.D./Ph.D. programs with neighboring Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The graduate program is flexible and individualized depending on a student's needs, and provides full financial support, housing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, and outstanding opportunities for intellectual growth.
Founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1901 as the nation's first institute for medical research, the university has a laboratory-based structure that encourages interdisciplinary research. This innovative, collaborative approach has been an unparalleled success, contributing to 24 Nobel Prizes—including prizes to Professors Günter Blobel, 1999, Paul Greengard, 2000, Paul Nurse, 2001, Roderick MacKinnon, 2003, and the late Ralph Steinman, 2011.

Deirdre shoved the mall door open and walked out into a bitterly cold night. An icy breeze pummeled her, flinging small, bright snowflakes into her face and down the neckline of her sweater. "Damn!" Deirdre sucked air, nearly dropping her bags. Momentarily disoriented in the thick fall of snow, she looked around for her car, finding it parked at the far edge of the nearly empty lot. It was already covered in a thick blanket of snow. "Double and triple damn."
She tucked her head and moved forward as quickly as she could with twenty pounds of Christmas bags hanging off her arms. The air swirled around her and Deirdre shivered, feeling suddenly dizzy. She stopped, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, coughing as she sucked snow into her lungs.
Opening her eyes again, she started toward the spot where she'd left her car. She walked for a few minutes and then looked up, thinking she should have gotten to her car already. She blinked. There was no car. Squinting through the dense curtain of snow, Deirdre turned in a slow circle. Maybe she'd gotten disoriented somehow.
Nothing. She realized with a horrified gasp that she couldn't even see the mall.
Air swirled around her again and a light flashed past. A muffled explosion sprayed snow and ice into the air a few feet to her left. Deirdre gave a little scream.
What the hell?
The air swirled past and this time, something grabbed her. She shrieked, dropping her bags, as she was pulled sideways and down.
A large hand covered her mouth. "Shh! I'll protect you, princess. Just remain quiet and let me deal with them."
She tried to look at the man behind the husky voice but when she turned her head she saw only the inside of her fur-lined hood. Deirdre tugged the hood away from her face just in time to see a firm, round buttock disappearing into the curtain of snow. More flashes sliced through the snow and the brief illumination showed Deirdre the large rock her invisible savior had shoved her behind.
A distant, muffled scream made Deirdre cringe. What would she do if her savior didn't survive his rescue. And what the hell was she being rescued from anyway?
She listened carefully for another minute but heard nothing. Finally the now familiar sense of swirling air warned her that someone had joined her in her hiding spot. This time when she looked up it was into the jewel-green gaze of a man with shoulder length white hair and a sexy square jaw covered in stubble. "Who are you?"
He stood, bowing low before her. "Allain Darcassan Erendriel at your service, princess."
She frowned. "How about if I just call you Al?"

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Cafe Gratitude
by prafulla
Review: Very good raw food with a few cooked options. I like raw food in general, but some of the spicing is too heavy for me at Cafe Gratitude. The desserts are to die for. All of them are wonderful without exception. The service can be a bit too cheery, but fun.

I'm glad the Tour Down Under finished on sunday, because we're facing a warm one this week.
Max temperature predicted for today (tues) - 41C (that's 106F)
Wed - 41
Thurs - 41
Fri - 39
Sat - 39
and so on. There's a mild cool change expected early next week but that could easily disappear in this sort of pattern. Last year, we started a week like this and wound up with 15 straight days over 37 (98.7F)
Ah well, guess I'll be riding the short route to work (ie, park at the bottom of the hill so I don't have to climb it on the way home).

During the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois asked him, "You're a Bruce Springsteen fan?" An odd question, to which Alito replied tepidly, "I am to some degree, yes."
Durbin had a point to make: "I guess most people in New Jersey would be." If not, he opined, "they should be." That's far from clear, but let's take the senator at his word.
When Durbin announced he'd vote against confirming Alito, he returned to his earlier theme. "Judge Alito, a New Jersey native, wouldn't even say whether he was a Bruce Springsteen fan," the senator chided. "Now, he may be one of the few people from New Jersey who has such cautious fealty to The Boss."
Or, maybe not.
"Personally, for the last 25 years I have always stayed one step away from partisan politics," Springsteen wrote in The New York Times in 2004. That's a good policy for an entertainer. But that year, apparently, was special. The Boss leapt into politics with both feet, campaigning hard for John Kerry.
It's understandable that Alito, a lifelong conservative, would oppose Springsteen's liberal ardor. He was simply too polite to make a big deal out of that during hearings meant to focus on his qualifications to sit on the nation's highest court.
The joke here is on Durbin, in more ways than one. It's not merely funny that he claimed to oppose Alito because of the judge's taste in music. It's funny that he even thought he had to explain his opposition to Alito.
After all, Durbin is a liberal leader of his party's Senate contingent. It was clear from the get-go he would vote against Alito, a conservative nominated by a president from the opposing party. And that's the real problem with politics today. It's predictable and, in many ways, pointless. The goal isn't to get things done; it's to attack members of the other party.
As another example, consider the embarrassing story on the front page of the May 17 Washington Post. During a trip to Saudi Arabia, Bush pleaded with the Saudis to pump more crude. And they said no. "Not only did the Saudis resist efforts to boost production even more -- as many congressional leaders are demanding -- they also pointedly said that the extra output was a week-old response to commercial customers, not to the president," the paper wrote.
Well, that certainly puts us in our place. We're begging the Saudis to take MORE of our dollars, and they're refusing.

A photography blog can be a great tool, whether you're an aspiring professional photographer or just a hobbyist. Here are five great reasons why you should start blogging:
The best way to improve your photography skills is to just get out there and shoot—often. Your blog will motivate you to do just that. You'll feel compelled to post new pictures to keep your readers engaged (even if at first those readers are just your mom and dad). And because you'll never want to post subpar pictures, it will light a fire under you to constantly stay on the top of your craft.
Blogs help you network with other photographers. You can link your photos back and forth between your blogs, offer advice, and keep each other informed about the latest news and trends. You can even find local photographers in your area and meet up for coffee and a chat. Photography is a social endeavor; enjoy the perks of meeting people who can help advance your photography career.
Blogs provide the unique opportunity to track your progress. Just by browsing through the archives of your blog, you'll be able see your growth as a photographer. This can help keep you on track as you continue to improve your skills. After all, if you've come so far in just a few short months, think of how much more you can improve in the future.
When you start a photography blog, expect to receive plenty of feedback on the pictures you post. Don't be afraid to read the comments people leave. In fact, learn to embrace them. No, not every comment will be glowing or provide constructive criticism. However, you'll find that plenty of other photographers will provide honest critiques that can help you improve your skills.
Blogs provide a unique opportunity to offer exposure at practically no cost. If you regularly produce quality work that people enjoy, friends will recommend your site to their friends. They'll like your pictures on Facebook. They'll pin them on Pinterest. If you plan to go pro in the future, blogging will help you develop your brand. You'll also develop genuine relationships with people who might use your professional services in the future.
Starting a photography blog will help you achieve your photography goals, whether you start out as a newbie or as a pro. Blogging doesn't take much time or money, but it can drastically change your life as a photographer.

the new MONOPOLY token is...
.. a cat?
So they got rid of the iron for the cat?
Well I thought one of the things that made the tokens in the game unique is that they were all so radically different from one another, so as to easily tell them apart, while giving an unusual cross-section of our culture. But a dog and a cat are too similar. Next they'll use a horse?
No more adventures! I'm not going that way!

Back when relatively few farmers owned steam-powered threshing machines, several families would get together and split the grain-cleaners cost.
Back when relatively few farmers owned steam-powered threshing machines, several families would get together and split the grain-cleaners cost.
When it was time to thresh the wheat or oats, those same families would come together to form crews of men and boys to bring in the shocks and thresh the grain, and crews of women and girls to keep the threshing crew fueled and hydrated. These so-called threshing bees were once commonplace.
Today, threshing bees exist as reenactments at the more than 1,000 annual threshing shows in the United States that honor our nation's farming heritage.
Plow days and threshing bees are only the tip of the old iron iceberg, though. These events are also devoted to the preservation, display, and demonstrations of all manner of antique agricultural equipment, where steam engines are alive and working.
This weekend, the Stephenson County Fairgrounds will become living history with just such an event: the 42nd Annual Freeport Threshing Show, sponsored by the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club.
Gates will open daily at 7 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Threshing Show admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children under 12 years of age, and $15 for a three-day pass.
There is also a special Friday Only ticket for people aged 60 and older for $10 that includes admission to the Threshing Show, the Silvercreek Museum, and the Train Ride. The Silvercreek Museum and the Silver Creek and Stephenson Railroad of Freeport, which features a 1912 Heisler Steam Locomotive, are located at 2954 S. Walnut Road in Freeport.
According to Kay Klever, Vice President of the Museum and Show Advertising Chairman, the 2011 show will feature Case tractors and equipment, and International Harvester gas engines, important to know for collectors from the area, as well as collectors nationally and internationally who typically travel from show to show throughout the Midwest.
In fact, Connie Sorn, Executive Director of the Freeport/Stephenson County Convention and Visitors Bureau, says, "The Freeport Threshing Show is one of the area's most successful events. It's not just local. It draws visitors from all across the country — people who stay in our hotels, eat in our restaurants, and fill their tanks with our gas. It's an important event for that reason alone, but it also offers a wonderful opportunity for families and collectors to have good, old-fashioned fun."
What's on Tap?
Some of this year's fun includes a daily parade at 1 p.m., featuring ancient steam engines and hundreds of antique gas tractors. There will be a horse pull on Friday at 6:30 p.m., and several area teams of horses will be featured in Saturday's parade.
Other Saturday highlights will be the crowning of the 2011 Show Queen, Kim McMahon of Polo, and an Antique Tractor Pull. A nondenominational church service will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Page 2 of 3 - Other things to see are horse-powered activities and steam-power demonstrations, including threshing machines, steam traction engines, and log sawing.
An operating blacksmith shop will feature machine tools powered by an overhead line shaft, and there will be a stave mill making barrel parts and a mill making cedar shingles.
Stationary gasoline engines will also be on display at Gasoline Alley, featuring small engines which were used all over the farm to run such things as washing machines and fans.
Antique vehicles — cars and trucks — are also being highlighted. Many food vendors will be around the show grounds, selling everything from small snacks to complete meals.
Hunting For Bargains
There will be a produce and white elephant market and a huge flea market for bargain hunting and rummaging. Visitors will find books ranging from antique and cook books to Harlequin romances and magazines, as well as antique furniture, dishes, pots, and equipment manuals.
Kay Klever will be looking for Depression-era glass, particularly the red glass — cranberry or ruby — one of the most expensive colors, as gold was one of the ingredients in red glass. She describes the flea market offerings as, "You name it, somebody may be selling it."
Kay first came to Freeport in 1972, and she went to her first Freeport Threshing Show in 1973, with her new husband, Jerry.
"The night before the show, I was sleeping in a tent on the show grounds, up at dawn dusting showcases and sweeping floors. I remember thinking this is going to be it. But," she continues, "Jerry has always loved engines and when he found out about the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club, he was hooked. And I've been super active all these years, too."
A Family Affair
Currently, the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club, which anyone can join, is supported by 375 family memberships. A family is defined as people living in the same household, and the memberships are priced at $20 per year.
A love of the equipment holds the members together, and there seems to be no generation gap. Parents, children, and grandchildren all work together.
For example, Bill and Etha Stimpert were the first of their family to get involved. Etha is a former Show Queen and Bill and his son, Jimmy, set up the first model train in the Exhibitors Building in the mid-80s.
Their daughter, Kathy De Wall, puts it this way, "Going to the Threshing Show is something we do every year, but for our family, it's all about the train. If I want to find my parents, I go out to the train."
Steam Train
The train is the 1912 Heisler steam locomotive that runs on a 3.4-mile round trip excursion and is located on the Walnut Road Complex.
Page 3 of 3 - The Steam Train is housed adjacent to the Silver Creek Depot, dedicated in 1993. It is based on plans from the Illinois Central Depot in Eleroy and houses the ticket office and a large display of memorabilia.
The schedule for the remaining train rides in 2011 is during the Threshing Show, on Sept. 5 (Labor Day), and on Oct. 8, 9, 22, and 23. The train departs on the hour from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Railroad fares are $6 for adults and $3 for children under 12.
Silvercreek Museum is also located on the property and features 25 rooms of antique displays, which include Freeport treasures from decades ago. The Museum is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the same days as the Steam Train runs.
Admission is $3 for adults and free for children. While you're there, be sure to see the Cooper Corliss Engine, a 130-ton stationary steam engine on display in its own building just west of the Museum.

And For Si Cwan i see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He's got the looks and the acting chops to pull off a character like Cwan.

For example, what I've experienced during shutdown are messages like:CMAN: sendmsg failed: -101 CMAN: we are leaving the cluster.from the node shutting down while the the other nodes report that this node needs to be fenced off. What?! Fenced during a controlled shutdown? Is that correct? During a complete cluster shutdown, of course quorum, at some point is lost, freezing the nodes that have not completely shutdown forcing a hard reset on those nodes. I'm probably missing something trivial here, but this doesn't seem right.Start up also suffers from the "quorum" problem, but it seems to recovery once enough nodes are up.You read the notes here about startup/shutdown? http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/doc/usage.txt To shutdown, you umount all fs's on all nodes, fence_tool leave on all nodes, then leave the cluster on all. To leave the cluster without quorum getting in the way use 'cman_tool leave remove'. To start up, have all nodes join the cluster with cman_tool join, then have all nodes join the fence domain with fence_tool join, then start other things. Dave
Thanks Dave. The process detailed in this document brought the nodes down gracefully.
[root node]# umount /gfs_volume [root node]# vgchange -aln [root node]# killall clvmd [root node]# fence_tool leave [root node]# cman_tool leave -w [root node]# killall ccsd [root node]# (reboot/shutdown)I'm going to incorporate this in to a revised shutdown init script and post what work.
