John Ridgely (1790-1867) was the first child born in Hampton Hall and third master of the estate. He became the heir after the untimely death of his elder brother, Charles Carnan Ridgely, Jr. (1783-1819). When his father Charles Carnan Ridgely died in 1829, the Hampton "empire" was largely reduced. John's inheritance encompassed only a courtesy entail of about 4,500 acres. John's life was not marked by the ambition or prominence of Hampton's first two masters. He never held public office; his interests were largely confined to his estate and its development and improvement. A family member later observed, "He had a great passion for horses and the out door life" and for driving carriages at "full speed," whereby he "was accustomed to do the [10-mile] distance from the City to Hampton in an hour or less." The leading American portraitist Thomas Sully (1783-1872) painted this flattering yet accurate depiction late in his lengthy career.
Material: Oil on canvas. H: 76.8cm, W: 64.1cm.
In 1828, John Ridgely married his second wife, Eliza Eichelberger Ridgely (1803-1867), daughter of Nicholas Greenbury Ridgely (1770-1829), a prominent and prosperous Baltimore merchant. Although the two believed they were distant cousins, no common descent for the two Ridgely families has been unquestionably established. Considered "one of the loveliest & most accomplished women ever raised in the city of Baltimore," Eliza was well educated by the standards of the day, fluent in French and Italian, and an international traveler with sophisticated taste. She was particularly renowned as a horticulturalist and made numerous improvements to the gardens and grounds of Hampton. Her famous portrait at age 15 by Thomas Sully (1783-1872), "Lady with a Harp," also reflects her musical talents. The sale of the original painting to National Gallery of Art led to the preservation of Hampton and its gift to the National Park Service in 1948.
Material: Oil on canvas. H: 214.7cm, W: 134cm.

Charles Glabe of the University of California, Irvine and our Research Consortium and George Bloom of the University of Virginia have added significantly to the growing evidence of the link between the proteins Abeta and tau in initiating Alzheimer's disease. In a collaboration supported by Cure Alzheimer's Fund, the two researchers and their colleagues identify a little-studied form of Abeta as a possible key to the ultimate destruction of nerve cells in the brain.
Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium member David Holtzman's latest paper has been published in the Journal of Neuroscience, addressing how Alzheimer's plaques affect brain networks.
Alzheimer's disease and Type II diabetes long have been observed to have a clinical connection, with patients with diabetes more than twice as likely as those without the disease to develop Alzheimer's. But the precise nature of this connection has been a mystery until recently. Over the last few years, research projects funded by Cure Alzheimer's Fund and others have helped bring us much closer to an understanding of the molecular connection—and, potentially, to effective treatments for both diseases.
Dr. Gary Landreth and colleagues at Case Western Reserve published a paper online in Science Express yesterday that received much attention because of the rather stunning results it reports in stopping and even reversing "a broad range of Abeta-induced deficits."
Exercise and stimulation of the brain may help ward off Alzheimer's disease, according to Dr. Tanzi and Dr. Gandy, both Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium members who were recently quoted in an article in the AARP Bulletin.
TheVisualMD has announced a new health initiative on Alzheimer's disease, a project that is anchored by the creation of a digital e-booklet that helps non-researchers better understand Alzheimer's. Dr. Rudy Tanzi, chairman of Cure Alzheimer's Fund Research Consortium, was interviewed about the new initiative:
"There is a great degree of confusion in the general public about the causes of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and age-related memory problems. This comprehensive educational initiative will go a long way to demystify these issues."
UC San Diego neuroscientist Steve Wagner, a previous recipient of two substantial grants from Cure Alzheimer's Fund (CAF), has been awarded a $1 million NIH "Blueprint" grant for the fast-track development of a promising Alzheimer's drug therapy.
"This is further validation of our venture model," says CAF President and CEO Tim Armour. "We've always been willing to take considerable risk for the prospect of faster progress. Steve's project is a sterling example of why our founders adopted this strategy. Thanks in part to CAF's support for Wagner's research, the world is now much closer to a promising new class of Alzheimer's drugs."
The Four Known Alzheimer's Genes
One of the most important, outstanding genetic questions about Alzheimer's disease is the relationship between the APOE genotype and the risk associated with the disease. To better understand this topic and speed progress, Cure Alzheimer's Fund (CAF) sponsored a meeting in February 2010 to explore this issue. The body of biological knowledge regarding how and why APOE likely is linked with AD was discussed in detail by members of the CAF Research Consortium and Cheryl Wellington, Ph.D., University of British Columbia; Michael Brown, M.D., University of Texas; Karl Weisgraber, Ph.D., Gladstone Institute; Alan Tall, Ph.D., Columbia University; and Joachim Herz, M.D., University of Texas, whose record of research includes valuable insights into this relationship. The meeting led to some important, newly funded research, including a project by David Holtzman, M.D., in his lab at Washington University in St. Louis.

It took the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences 14 years to wrangle Richard Williams, but it was well worth the wait. Last Friday night, Williams enthralled the appreciative audience with a lively and informative masterclass as part of the annual Marc Davis Celebration of Animation series.
The evening (titled "This Amazing Medium") served as an autobiographical appraisal of animation -- a performance, really -- beginning with some of Williams' biggest influences and highlighted by illustrative clips. Not surprisingly, he was first blown away by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs when he was five and he used the dance number to show off the movie's charm. This was topped by the "fantastic physics" of the whale sequence in Pinocchio, the "hyper-realism" of Fantasia's "Night on Bald Mountain" segment, the "pure imagination" of Dumbo's "Pink Elephants on Parade," and the epiphany of Jungle Book's encounter between Shere Khan, the menacing tiger, and Kaa, the hypnotic snake.
In fact, Williams recalled groveling at the feet of his hero, Milt Kahl, who shared the secret of animating Khan (his first full sequence) by describing the distribution of weight as though it were an effortless dance. Indeed, dance has played a vital part of Williams' work under the tutelage of his mentor, Art Babbitt. However, Kahl advised, "You can draw better than me but you can't animate worth shit!"
As a counter revolution to Disney, Williams explored such "crude and funny" influences as Tex Avery's King-Size Canary, Chuck Jones' One Froggy Evening, and John Hubley's Rooty Toot Toot. For another epiphany, he cited the scene when Buzz Lightyear learns he's just a toy in Toy Story, which proved that CG could evoke empathy.
But Williams realized that he needed to learn his craft so he drew and painted in the Mediterranean before diving further into animation. He dabbled imaginatively with credit sequences for Tony Richardson's The Charge of the Light Brigade (imitating Turner) and later on for Blake Edwards' The Return of the Pink Panther (paying homage to Hollywood). But in between Jones gave him a break with the Oscar-winning A Christmas Carol for ABC. Williams' illustrative grave served him well.
Then came his masterpiece, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which allowed him to rework the Disney icons but from a safe distance in London, and his personal favorite, The Thief and the Cobbler, which notoriously got butchered. Still, the incomplete work print survives, which the Academy will screen in December along with A Christmas Carol.
Speaking of drawings, Williams' screened the short, Circus Drawings (with music composed by the late Richard Rodney Bennett), which touted his exquisite clowns (capturing the joy behind the melancholy grease paint).
Williams left us with 25 seconds from his latest project, Will I Live to Finish This?, which offered extraordinary graphic realism and a comic book sensibility that's unlike anything he's ever done. Here's hoping the 80-year-old will finish it.
In the meantime, you must check out the "Richard Williams: Master of Animation" exhibition in the Academy's new Grand Lobby through Dec. 22, which includes clips, drawings, video interviews as a dynamic snapshot of his famous master class.

Singapore Sells APEC, ASEAN Benefits in Free Trade Deal with US
Singapore fought back against APEC and ASEAN criticism of its packed free-trade agenda Tuesday as it began rushed negotiations with Washington to complete an agreement by the end of the year.
Both economic blocs, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) stood to gain from the initiative, head Singapore negotiator Tommy Koh said in Washington in his opening remarks, a copy of which were received here.
During last month's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Brunei and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Singapore, concern was raised about the proliferation of free-trade pacts.
Critics argued they threatened to undermine the goals of the WTO with the prospect of bilateral clauses which clashed with existing multilateral commitments.
Singapore was singled out as the free trade agreement (FTA) pack leader, having concluded one deal with New Zealand and embarking on others with Japan, Australia, the United States, Canada and Mexico.
But Koh told US trade officials the planned Singapore-US tie up, announced during APEC by US President Bill Clinton and Singaporean Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, had all-round benefits.
"We will succeed if we are united in our belief that a free trade agreement between the US and Singapore is good for our two countries, good for US-ASEAN relations, good for APEC and ... good for global trade liberalization under the aegis of the WTO," he said.
Some ASEAN countries were still experiencing difficulties as they emerged from the 1997 economic crisis "as a result, investor confidence in ASEAN, as a region, has not recovered to the pre-crisis level," he said.
"The US can help to restore confidence in ASEAN ... it could lead to other FTAs between the US and other ASEAN countries and it could lead eventually to a US-ASEAN" free trade agreement.
This is the first FTA Washington has negotiated with an Asian country.
The mushrooming FTAs, especially by APEC members looking for an alternative after the collapse of the WTO liberalization talks in Seattle last year, could reinforce one another, Koh said.
The net effect would be to lower trade and investment barriers which "will bring us closer to, not further from, the APEC vision of free trade and open investment in the Pacific."
Koh also gave a guarantee that Singapore would not pursue "any policy which would jeopardize the efficacy of the WTO".
On the sidelines of the APEC forum, noted economist Fred Bergsten singled out a planned FTA between Japan and Singapore as a likely obstacle to APEC's overall free trade goal -- SINGAPORE (AFP)

Police Operations
Every day while driving to work, school, or running errands, people will run into police officers patrolling the streets of their hometown. There are many other operations that make up the daily duties and assignments of a police officer. Police operations can range from investigating a homicide or fraud to serving warrants for drug dealers or traffic violations. Police have a challenging job that is almost never routine.
Patrolling the streets is the center of policing in the United States. Most officers are assigned patrolling duties for daily assignments. Police officers deliver the majority of their services by patrolling the streets. Patrol officers are first responders and will always be the first ones to respond to any situation, from a fender bender to a terrorist attack. According to National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (2004), "On the morning of September 11, 2001, the last best hope for the community of people working in or visiting the World Trade Center rested not with national policymakers but with private firms and local public servants, especially the first responders: fire, police, emergency medical service, and building safety professionals" (para. 1).
Patrolling is done in a variety of methods of transportation or afoot. Officers are able to patrol by horse, bicycle, afoot, motorcycles, recreation vehicles, marine vehicles, and aircraft. Most departments have the manpower to provide a full range of patrolling methods, but the most common method is the officer driving his patrol car. "Automobile patrol provides more efficient coverage than foot patrol. A patrol car can cover more area, pass each point more often, return to particular spots in an unpredictable manner if necessary, and respond quickly to calls for service. The efficiency of the patrol car in this regard is the reason why police departments converted from foot patrol to car patrol between the 1920s and the 1950s" (Walker & Katz, 2008,...

in The potting shed
Hi Smokin Donkey, I wear Karrimor cargo trousers whatever the weather as I don't want my legs scratched to bits, top is a polo shirt but must admit to getting a bit hot this summer. As you probably know I work as a gardener so it's a sort of uniform and me in shorts would scare off my customers! Working in my own garden is old track suit bottoms and a comfy old t shirt , not a good look but it's not a fashion show...
Hi SD
I have had to resort to JUNGLE SPRAY to keep away the biting bugs,
so no shorts for me!
but t shirt- long sleeved and comfy trousers are the thing.
But the little beggars still get me!!!
Whatever has gone past wearing to go out in,a mix of old tops and trousers occasionally shorts and the odd hat.
I work as a gardener too.
Summer is the thinnest loose t-shirt I can find and long shorts or short longs that cover my knees so I can kneel without getting filthy knees. Leather slip on shoes with no socks and a mans cap. For some reason they make the brims bigger so more sun protection....factor 50 on any skin showing.
Autumn/winter cargo trousers, t/shirt with short sleeves, sweatshirt and my gilet. Australian leather bush hat and rigger work boots.
Rainy days head to foot in plastic!!!!
Apart from boots shoes bush hat (like you Smokin had it for years) and gilet all bought from charity shops!
I wear shorts most of the time but I do kneel on a lengh of wood to weed and a T shirt
most of the year.
jeans and a t shirt for digging in the garden. sweat shirt if needed and again like you addict plastic foot wear if needed. I also have a large brim hat that my wife hates but hay is my neck not hers
Baseball cap whatever the weather - keeps sun off if it is out, and the rain out of my eyes if it is not.
also dungarees - kids disown me, but it is great not having a waistband when you are crawling around weeding.
Don't care what you call it - does the trick for me.
black fatigues from work .tshirt. some times shorts .with a lancashire cc cap .or old panama. hat in autum dads old harris tweed and chester fc bobble hat and scarf (blue n white ) ok GUYS
I'm with GillyL:
Whatever has gone past wearing to go out in,a mix of old tops and trousers occasionally shorts and the odd hat
Can't beat dungarees, I have both the long and the short version. I find them really comfortable as well as practical. Lots of pockets - the side pocket at the knee is made for secateurs.
If wearing ordinary trousers I get bitten around the waist by midges etc but this doesn't happen with dungarees and this year I have discovered Boots wasp repellent which keeps away the horseflies as well
I wear old jeans, have to have something to cover the legs, especially knees, and an old, loose, cotton T shirt. No need for a hat, I have thick hair. Hats make my head feel hot and sweaty. Wellies in winter and for digging. My lovely old leather gardening shoes, with anti-smell charcoal insoles, have just fallen apart.
funny to imagine some of you in your onesies, oh I mean dungarees, ( smokin im guessing you're not keen on onesies but quite like dungarees?).
I wear worn out clothes and groan when I have to venture out, yet again, to the ice cream van with son to perceived looks of ridicule. My favourite is an all-in-one strapless shorts suit (oh no, just realised that makes it a onesie/dungaree) It has a ridiculous bright purple n orange jungle pattern and was for that reason never worn in the real workd!
LOL MrsGarden you have to post a picture!!!!!!!
Not a chance!
I have seen the question asked elsewhere, but never an accompanying answer - can anyone inform me where I can get the type of shirt Monty Don wears in his garden? I believe they are called 'half placket', any help much appreciated.

After everything is all over and the dust has settled and the blood has dried, it is possible to unsort the plot of "Angel Heart" and see that it's really fairly simple. But it doesn't feel that way at the time. It has the unsettled logic of a nightmare, in which nothing fits and everything seems inevitable and there are a lot of arrows in the air and they are all flying straight at you.
The movie stars Mickey Rourke as Harry Angel, an unwashed private eye who works out of an office that looks like Sam Spade gave it to the Goodwill. He gets a call to visit some kind of devil-worship cult in Harlem, where a strange man wants to talk to him. The man's name is Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro), and he wants Angel to track down a missing person for him. Angel takes the case for five grand and follows a trail that is littered with stale leads and fresh corpses.
This sounds like a million other private eye movies, and, in a way, it is. A few things make it different: a sly sense of humor, good acting and directing, and a sudden descent into the supernatural as Harry Angel discovers the horrifying true nature of his investigation.
The movie is by Alan Parker, a director who has vowed to work in every genre. After "Angel Heart," he can cross two off his list: private eye movies and supernatural horror films. Parker's films are always made with great gusto, as if he were in up to his elbows and taking no hostages; look for example at "Midnight Express," "Fame" (1980) and "Pink Floyd: The Wall."
He enjoys what timid folks might call stylistic excess, and that's what got him in trouble with the MPAA ratings board over a scene involving Rourke and Lisa Bonet, who plays a young Louisiana woman who holds the secrets of the past. They meet in a leaky hotel room during a rainstorm, and while they make love the raindrops from the ceiling turn to blood. In the context of the movie, the blood makes perfect sense, although the scene had had to be trimmed to qualify the movie for an R rating.
The scene is consistent with the whole film, which is sensuous and depraved. The De Niro character sets the tone, with his sharp, pointed fingernails and his elegant black suits. De Niro must have had fun preparing for the character: He uses a neatly trimmed black beard, slicked-back hair and tricks of lighting and makeup to make himself look uncannily like Martin Scorsese, his favorite director. Given what we eventually discover about the character, it's a wicked homage.
Rourke occupies the center of the film like a violent unmade bed. No other actor, with the possible exception of France's Gerald Depardieu, has made such a career out of being a slob. He looks unshaven, unwashed, hung over and desperate, and that's at the beginning of the film, before things start to go wrong. By the end, he is a man whose nerves are screaming for help.
His odyssey in "Angel Heart" takes him from New York to Algiers, La., a town across from New Orleans that makes the fleshpots of Bourbon Street look like Disneyland. He is advised to go back home by a crusty old blues player (played by the fast-talking Brownie McGhee in a performance that proves Dexter Gordon isn't the only old musician who can act). But he doesn't listen and gets drawn deeper into bayou country, where he spies on the forbidden rituals of a voodoo cult.
Bonet is the priestess of the cult and plays the role with an abandoned sexuality that you wouldn't have expected after watching her on the "Cosby Show." She was probably right to take this controversial role as her movie debut; it's such a stretch from the Cosby character that it establishes her as a plausible movie actress.
The movie's final revelations make a weird sense, once we figure them out. This is one of those movies where you leave the theater and re-run the plot in your head, re-intrepreting the early scenes in terms of the final shocking revelations. "Angel Heart" is a thriller and a horror movie, but most of all it's an exuberant exercise in style, in which Parker and his actors have fun taking it to the limit.

Hundreds flee wildfires in SpainApril 27th, 2008 - 8:39 am ICT by admin
San Sebastian (Spain), April 27 (DPA) Hundreds of people fled wildfires Saturday on the Spanish island of La Gomera, with some residents taking refuge on the beaches, provincial authorities said. Separate blazes broke out around the towns of Hermigua, Vallehermoso and Agulo in the northern part of the island. There were no immediate reports about the source of the fires.
At least one house was destroyed by late Saturday. There were no reports of casualties.
Amid high winds driving the wildfires, dozens of fire-fighters and volunteers were battling the flames, with aerial support from tanker planes. Spanish military troops in the Canary Islands were expected to join the effort.
La Gomera's Garajonay National Park, which is listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site, could be endangered by the blazes on the island.

I have a 7 month old DD and am in my late 30s and my husband is in his early 40s. We want to have another baby but I was thinking of waiting to begin trying until DD's 1st bday. Anyway we haven't been very careful and had sex right around the time I ovulated. When I discovered this I was devastated because I worried about having two babies so close in age. Now though I actually hope I AM pregnant. I've taken two test already....BFN but AF isn't due until the 6th. Is there still hope? After going through all of this this month I think I'm ready to be pregnant again and will seriously try next month if I'm not pregnant now....especially since my biological clock is ticking very very loudly!
We were "not NOT trying"

from the sounds of it your only about a week past O so you have plenty of time for a BFP to show up.
We were in the same boat and I feel the same way. I cried when I got my BFP on Friday (I feel really bad about that)... But I am really happy now. My son will be 20 months old when this LO is born and we were going to plan on having them be 24 months apart so its not too far off!
Thanks for the encouraging words ladies. It feels good to know that there is still hope plus others, maybe, in the same boat if I get a BFP instead of AF.
beautiful daughter jan '10 and handsome son june '13
AF arrived on Friday night. Two weeks prior I was crying because I thought I might be pregnant so soon after giving birth to my DD in January. Two weeks later I was crying because in those 14 days I became hopeful that baby #2 was on the way. Not yet though. DH and I discussed #2 though and decided to begin trying in a few months. A May 2011 baby isn't in a future but hopefully a Autumn 2011 baby is! Best of luck to all of you ladies with LOs on the way.
beautiful daughter jan '10 and handsome son june '13
You still have a great chance for a BFP! None of the tests I took showed positive till today and I'm sure I O'd on the 15th of August :)

2013 Nissan GT-R Gets Another Power-up
While most automakers would be satisfied with the 530 hp on tap in the 2012 Nissan GT-R, Nissan obviously isn't like most automakers—which explains why the company once again upped the output of the GT-R's twin-turbo V6 for the 2013 model year, and also made numerous other performance-enhancing changes as well.
Of course, that really shouldn't be much of a surprise. In just the past three model years alone, the GT-R's output has grown from 485 hp and 434 lb.-ft. of torque in 2011, to 530/448 in the 2012 model, and now 545/463 for the 2013 car. This latest power boost reflects a significant effort from Nissan engineers to improve the engine's breathing, and they also worked to ensure drivers could make the most of that power by retuning the car's suspension and improving the shift feel of its advanced six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Other new standard features for 2013 include a navigation system, high-performance differential oil, a rear-view monitor, enhanced interior lighting and, on the GT-R Black Edition, a handmade dry-carbon rear spoiler.
2013 Nissan GT-R Gets Another Power-up
Among the things that don't change for the new model year:
• The GT-R's independent rear-transaxle all-wheel-drive system—an industry first—which optimizes weight distribution and handling by positioning the car's transmission, transfer case and final drive at the rear of the vehicle.
• A Bilstein Damptronic suspension system that allows drivers to tune the GT-R's shift points, shock absorbers and vehicle dynamic control functionality for a range of different road conditions and driving scenarios.
• Brembo brakes, with full-floating drilled rotors, low-steel/high-stiffness brake pads, six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers.
• A full range of LED exterior lights, including LED running lamps, high-mounted stoplights and combination taillights.
• Sport bucket front seats, with Recaros for the GT-R Black Edition.
• An 11-speaker Bose sound system specifically designed for the GT-R and featuring speakers mounted in rigid aluminum die-cast panels.
• A drag coefficient of just .26
• The automaker's Advanced Airbag System, with front seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front-seat occupants, along with roof-mounted side-impact curtain airbags.
• Six exterior colors—Deep Blue Pearl, Jet Black, Solid Red, Gun Metallic, Pearl White and a four-stage metallic Super Silver.
2013 Nissan GT-R Gets Another Power-up
In other words, as explained by Brian Carolin, senior vice president for Sales and Marketing for Nissan North America: "The 2013 Nissan GT-R once again sends a bold statement that it remains on the leading edge of international sports car design, technology and performance. It's our desire to keep pushing the envelope, to never settle for second best or second place – a philosophy that makes Nissan GT-R one of the most coveted and affordable supercars in the world today."
The 2013 Nissan GT-R is slated to begin reaching dealerships in January of 2012.

Chaplaincy has built reputation for helping veterans
What a great year it has been! Reflecting on the blessings and challenges Gold Country Chaplaincy has experienced, it's encouraging knowing God is a very present hope, renewing our strength and sustaining us as we endeavor to reach this community for Him.
We at GCC have a passion to "stand in the gap" for those in need. We also love our military, veterans, and their families. These brave men and women have earned not only our respect, but our support. Our veterans paid a price to protect our nation from enemies both here and across the ocean. Though not all of them have seen the horrors of war, they all were willing to go. Many who gave so much now find themselves in need of assistance after leaving the military. GCC is the best equipped to help these veterans.
In September we held our second annual Placer County Veteran Stand Down, serving over 250 veterans. We got to see a number of little miracles, as we gave a "hand up" to so many veterans. They weren't looking for a hand out, just a little help to get back on their feet. The Stand Down was made possible by coordinating the efforts and providing leadership to a large number of organizations and over 300 volunteers this year.
One story that stands out was of a veteran who had gotten himself into some legal trouble. He gave up on life many years ago. He eventually found himself homeless. He came to the Stand Down, and went to our free legal counsel area and got the help he needed.
It was as if a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He said, "This is a brand new day! This has changed my life! It's time for a haircut." He went straight over to the Stand Down Barber. His last haircut was 10 years ago. His whole countenance changed, and after the haircut he looked like a new man.
There was also a young veteran with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). He communicates well, but his TBI is so severe he can't hold a job. His sister called the first day of the Stand Down. He had lost a cap on one of his front teeth. He was so embarrassed by the way he looked; he tried to cover his mouth when he spoke. The VA would not cover this. He had no other insurance, so he couldn't get his tooth fixed. We told her to bring him to the Stand Down, and visit the free mobile dental lab. They were able to fix his smile. They were both very happy. She said, "You made his birthday so special. We can't thank you enough!"
The Stand Down is just part of what GCC does. We serve military, veterans and their families year round. We are often called at the hardest time of a person's life. We recently worked with a young marine whose infant died suddenly. We were able to give him and his wife grief counseling, and connect them with resources in the community to support them through this difficult time. We helped them with meals, and performed the very sad funeral service for them. This marine said about the chaplain, "He brought a little ray of sunshine in the middle of the storm of our lives."
GCC has a growing reputation as the first ones to call in a crisis. We are available for our military, veterans and their families 365 days a year. We have solidified our mission in aiding veterans and their families by providing crisis and pastoral care to those in Placer County in particular, and the Greater Sacramento area and surrounding communities.
Our current plans for the New Year include offering training on suicide prevention. We hope to offer scholarships for veterans to get this training for free. Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is a two day course on the cutting edge of suicide intervention.
We firmly believe in the impact we're making in the community and in the miraculous ways God has provided in the past!
Terry Morgan is senior chaplain/executive director of Gold Country Chaplaincy, PO Box 654, Loomis, CA 95650. For more information, call (916) 259-1001 or visit www.goldcountrychaplaincy.org.

in response to ikilby
Well I read Jerrythea's post and it seems that since I had DHCP (only) running under Lion that my config seems to have been preserved. I disabled DHCP on my router and my clients picked up their old reservations and DNS assignments. The config in bootp.list looks fine; however, I can't locate the file bootptab that is referenced for adding/deleting reservations.
Anyone have any tips on where to find bootptab please?
I hope that managing DHCP via texteditor is only a stopgap measure until DHCP is either implmented back into the Server app, or another iteration of Server Admin is released.

Is it possible to disable the WiFi on an Airport Extreme and just use it as a DHCP server? And is it fully 10/100/1000 capable?
I suppose as a quick fix we could plug one of those into our network just off the root-switch, but the WiFi would definitely conflict with our existing wireless network, and even if we had the money to replace that network with a fleet of AirPort Expresses, there's no way they would have all the functionality of our enterprise-level APs.

Yes you can disable the WiFi on the Extreme (there are options for create, extend or off), and both the LAN and WAN ports can accomodate up to gigabit speeds.
The DHCP options limit you to a single scope though, which was an issue for me. I have one scope that dishes out Google DNS, and one that hands out OpenDNS for web filtering.

Words fail me, I can't believe DHCP has been removed, what's next for the chop I wonder.
what is OSX server going to become in a few years - IOS profile manager and that's your lot.

Apparently DHCP is still here but needs some manual configuration: http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/running-dhcp-on-mountain-lion-server/

Yes, it's on ML and needs manual config.
But we're complaining at Product Feedback to get GUI configuration back!

Feedback submitted. OS is nothing more than a client machine with some feature add ons. Completely lost confidence from what I've been able to see and configure so far. As long as the availability can be accomplished through Cmd then that will suffice but even that seems sparse.

DHCP hasn't been removed, it's still there. DHCP gets enabled and is necessary for example for NetInstall/NetBoot.
The only thing that has been removed is the horribly bad GUI interface. You can use the /etc/bootpd.plist to alter the settings.

/etc/bootptab may not exist on your system if you have never created DHCP reservations. Or if you have created them but had Open Directory enabled then DHCP server stored them in OD /Computers records. Open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility, switch to Directory Editor tab and look in Computers in node /Local/Default

IceFloor is a pf firewall front-end since Lion. Probably, it applies to ML too. Ipfw in Lion remains my choice using WaterRoof, although it has been deprecated. IceFloor doesn't pass muster with me.
Given all that I'm reading, hearing, and personally experiencing, I've concluded that I will simply drive my MacBuggies until their wheels fall off and then forget Apple altogether. Apple doesn't need anymore of my $.
This shop has transitioned to Linux (Arch) which reliably does the work, performs like a Ferrari, and just doesn't require the care-and-feeding that Apple or Microsoft does.
Imho, of course.

why do you need DHCP service in ML when you have Facebook and Twitter and 198 more absolute useless features in this new operating system. I changed last year away from MS to Apple and with every new product they release I regret this step a bit more. Not willing to spend money for this server to get additional workload on my shoulders to administrate it. This is the reason we use Apple products as they should be easy to manage. When I want to tamper with text config files I get a nicely working Linux box for half of the money.
ikilby Jul 31, 2012 5:04 AM
in response to Robert Assum
Spot on. If i wanted to mess around with text configs I would have downloaded a free Linux OS.
I didnt want to do that and i still dont.
I now have an old Mac Mini running OSX server Leopard just for the DHCP server.!
Fully exxpect OSX server to be dropped by Apple, they do not seem to be taking the server market seriously.Why can you not load the server OS from scratch, rather than load the Desktop OS and then load the server application.
It is not designed as a fully integrated high avalability Server OS and with the loss of many features I am badly dissapointed.
John Lockwood Aug 1, 2012 7:20 AM

Boy am I gutted (for my own personal reason).
I spent years persuading Apple to eventually add the ability to define DHCP Option Codes to their DHCP server so that it could particular support VoIP configurations and also potentially nearly any DHCP requirement. (Apple eventually added this ability in Leopard Server). I then spent with other users many months working out how to actually encode the information in to the right format for use in /etc/bootpd.plist since Apple did not document this and then actually went to the effort of writing a full-blown GUI tool for generating any type of DHCP option code date, i.e. integers, IP addresses, text strings, and even hexadecimal data. I was quite proud of the fact that despite being downloaded and used by thousands of people not a single bug was found in this admittedly simple tool.
I have been campaining for Apple to add IPv6 support for DHCP, but effectively removing all support for DHCP is not the answer.
As mentioned even though there is now no GUI at all it is still possible to run Apple's own customised bootpd daemon. Having read Apple's KB article it is also still at the moment possible to add DHCP option codes by manually editing /etc/bootpd.plist as before and according to Apple's article these manual edits will not be overwritten by Server.app
For the benefit of others it is in theory not necessary for someone to write a new DHCP server for OS X. Firstly the old bootpd is still present, and secondly there are at least two open-source DHCP servers that can and previously have been ported to OS X, these being dhcpd and bootpd (for IPv6) and dhcp6s and dhcpd (which can be started in both IPv6 and IPv4 modes).
What is needed is for a Mac GUI to be created for these tools or Apple's bootpd, after all as said here if we only have a CLI we might as well use Linux.
Personally, I would prefer someone to create a GUI for dhcdp which besides supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 also has built-in support for dhcp option codes. If someone chooses to write one for Apple's bootpd I would be happy to answer any questions about the format of fields in /etc/bootpd.plist
One issue to consider if using an alternative to Apple's bootpd is that this might create problems for NetBoot/NetInstall environments.
With regards to my DHCP Option Code Utility, I was hosting this on MobileMe which is of course no more and would appreciate a suggestion for a free web hosting service I could move it to.

Apple does not give a hoot about infrastructure servers.
And you know what? I really couldn't agree more with them.
Kudos to Apple...they have ZERO chance against Microsoft Server.
Let Apple concentrate on iPhones, MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, Mac minis and Mac Pros.
I miss the DHCP server controls too...but it's easy enough to create /etc/bootptab to reserve IP Addresses...etc...etc...etc....

There's not much time before his dinner party and Andy Dick needs a pair of chefs to pull it all together so it doesn't turn into a total disaster. He seeks out the talent of rival cooks Vito Gallo and Rod Daily, who bicker back and forth after being ushered into the kitchen by Andy's wife, Lady Bunny. After Andy and Lady exit and leave the guys to their work, cooking is the last thing on their mind. The only thing that heats up are the men themselves after they strip off their cooking clothes and focus on each other: the guys don't care if they get their jobs done so long as they get each other done! Vito Gallo is on top, Rod Daily is on the bottom, and tune in to see if he can handle the Italian power-top's cock!
Category: Blowjobs Rimjobs Fucking Monster Dicks Muscle Men Blockbuster Episodes
Smooth muscle hunk Rod Daily took a break from his favorite activities of gym, tan, laundry and showed of his hot fucking skills in Kings of New York! Rod Daily's perfect bubble ass is any tops dream and Rod knows exactly how to work a nice dick. His favorite position is doggy-style and hairless men turn Rod on. Mr. Daily loves to explore sex in crazy places but at the end of the day he will have sex anywhere I can.
What a catch Vito Gallo is as Lucas Entertainment's newest exclusive: he's handsome, tall, muscular, and is endowed with one of the biggest cocks we've seen. Vito's only limitation in bed is safety, but aside from that he's up for anything if it will equal a good romp. This hunk usually tops, and with a dick like his, it shouldn't be any other way. And as Lucas Entertainment's next big pornstar in the making, Vito is certainly someone to keep a close eye on!

Matthew Mason knows how to take care of Rod Daily in Wear me Out...will al respect this scene was not the best for Rod Daily neither Vito Gallo. Vito Gallo needs to have another hot business scene on bed (with long plain sheer socks, no shoes on) with Christopher Daniels. There are some duos that works so perfectly and with excellentchemistry that is worth to repeat again.

Gibson Les Paul Custom.. which one?
Greetings all!
I am a Gibson Les Paul fanboy and will always be. Currently looking to purchase a Gibson Custom Les Paul but not sure the difference between one from 1979 or 2013.
I currently have a Studio from 2002 and it sounds awesome but my dream guitar is an alpine white custom.
So, being that i am looking to purchase the ultimate guitar, what should i be looking for? I play more alternative music but a gibson is very versatile and i believe can play any type of music.
Some guide lines, it must be alpine white and it MUST have an ebony fretboard.
I am always hearing rumors that gibson's made after the year 2002 are crap. People mention that the wood is just not the same.
Please help!
The current ones are richlite, so if you want ebony, get one from the 70's.
They're full of shit.
Alpine White Customs are badass. Ignore the year, just go and play a bunch if you can. I'm not sure on what years are "the good years" but there are gunna be incredible guitars made every year regardless of the date. There are even probably some '59s out there that are only as good as a modern standard. You're gunna get guitars that really shine in every model of every year and you'll also get bad ones that are made in every model of every year.
So this guitar on musiciansfriend.com is listed as having an Ebony fretboard
[forbidden link]
and then is one marked as "private reserve" not sure what that means with a richlite finger board.
[forbidden link]
so they still do make ebony boards...?
Thanks for the replies guys. All these titles as private reserve, special edition, re-issue are really throwing me off. I just want a Gibson Custom Alpine white with no special title. hah
[forbidden link] n sfr iend.com/guitars/gibson-custom-les-paul-custom-electric-guitar/517110000026000 (private reserver richlite finger board)
[forbidden link] n sf riend.com/guitars/gibson-custom-les-paul-custom-limited-edition-color-electric-guitar/h74916 (ebony finger board)
Just put the spaces together
Since the US government raided them, they've had to stop using ebony AFAIK, and replace it with richlite.
they're back to using ebony.
i'd personally just get a used 2000-2008.
Any Les Paul Custom with a Richlite fretboard is going to be a very recent one. Most of the Customs in the stores right now have ebony fretboards. You should be able to tell just by looking at it. Ebony will have grain and some pores; Richlite will not.
New Gibsons are just fine. In the mid-1970s, Gibson changed hands so many times that quality control suffered terribly. But by about '78 or '79, they had gotten most of the problems resolved. Now, the newer Les Pauls will have the traditional "dished out" carved top, whereas the ones made in the 1970s will have only a "domed" carved top. Personally, I like the "dished out" carved top.
Unless there is an old Les Paul Custom with which you have fallen madly in love, I'd focus on a newer model. Just be sure which model it is. A lot of the current Les Paul Custom guitars are reissue versions of the old "Black Beauty / Fretless Wonder" and they are made of solid mahogany, rather than a mahogany body and a carved maple top. Make sure you are getting the version that you want.
Good luck with your search! You really can't go wrong with a Les Paul Custom.

As one of 16 states that run their own health insurance exchange, California is not directly affected by Tuesday's split appellate-court decisions on the legality of Obamacare subsidies.
In September 2010, the Golden State was the first in the nation to pass legislation creating the Covered California health exchange. That means the subsidies granted to its residents should continue even if federal subsidies are declared illegal.
U-T San Diego asked University of San Diego constitutional law professor Lawrence Alexander and Covered California to help people understand the latest developments.
Q: Is the Supreme Court likely to take up the subsidies issue?
A: If the court meeting en banc affirms the D.C. panel's ruling, then I think yes it will. On something this important, where you have a clear split like this, I would say it's likely.
Q: What is the main question the Supreme Court would have to decide?
A: The question here is one of intent. Did Congress intend for the federal government to step in and provide these subsidies in states that didn't create (health) exchanges?
Q: Some have said the 5-4 conservative majority on the Supreme Court means that more literal interpretations of the law will prevail. Do you agree?
A: Not necessarily. Justices have their own views on statutory interpretation that don't divide up liberal/conservative in a particular way. They don't view themselves as political marionettes. In this case, I think it will truly come down to the question of what Congress meant when it put in this provision about subsidies.
Covered California:
Q: How many people have enrolled in Covered California plans?
A: According to the latest information published by the health exchange, 1,395,929 had signed up by April 15. Of those, 121,900 live in San Diego County.
Q: How many enrollees received a subsidy from the government?
A: According to Covered California, 1.2 million people statewide qualified for subsidies. That number included 105,870 enrollees in San Diego County.
Q: How many of those who signed up actually paid their premium?
A: In a statement on April 17, the exchange said 85 percent had paid their premiums. The exchange declined to provide an update on Tuesday.
Q: How much, in total, will Californians receive in the health exchange's subsidies this year?
A: Covered California has not released an estimate. But the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated in March that Californians qualified for $2.3 billion in subsidies for 2014.
Q: How many Californians are expected to sign up for Covered California plans in 2015?
A: A Covered California representative said the exchange expects enrollment to reach 1.7 million in 2015.
Q: How many Californians could qualify for subsidized health coverage under Obamacare?
A: About 2.6 million Californians are eligible for subsidies, according to Covered California.

Sometimes one is ready to take risks, accept the unexpected, and commit to a dramatically altered life. As Caryl Sherpa trekked around the Annapurna Mountains of Nepal, she fell in love with her Sherpa trekking guide, Nima, his country, his people, and their joy. This is an inspiring story of love, cultural exploration, the importance of place, finding one's faith, and the revelation that in the Himalaya, anything is possible.
In 1991, after traveling around the world, Caryl returned with a story to tell, and a desire to write. She studied at UCLA, Richard Hugo House in Seattle, and at workshops around the country with many notable teachers, including Kathleen Alcalá, Bernard Cooper, Philip Lopate, and Terry Tempest Williams. For six years, Caryl and Nima ran Himalayan Discovery, a trekking company. Caryl writes to inspire others to move towards "a broadening of consciousness, the ultimate destination after any journey."
You can follow her on her website and blog at www.carylsherpa.com.
Village Books will soon have copies of Caryl's book available for sale. Check back for more information.
