Affirmation House Mission, Purpose, and Growth:
Our mission will be to advocate, and offer support, for people of color that are currently experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities Metro Area. The key goal of Affirmation House is to provide a place for each individual to call home that is a safe, clean, and fun living environment, free from drug or alcohol use.
Affirmation House Services Include:
- Permanent Housing
- Life Skills Training
- Employment Counseling
- Mental Health Advocacy
- Drug & Alcohol Counseling
Affirmation House's Values
- We celebrate and embrace the diversity of every individual.
- We strive to treat all individuals with respect and dignity.
- We encourage people to draw upon their strengths to promote the power of self-advocacy.
- We will work to ensure that there is a collaborative community with the individuals that we serve.
- We will utilize and partner with the appropriate organizations for drug and alcohol counseling and treatment.
- We will utilize and partner with the appropriate professionals for the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders.
Locations and Future Growth Plans
- Affirmation House started in a single family home in Brooklyn Center with 4 men in December of 2009.
- October 2010, marked an exciting organizational milestone with the opening of our second facility, an 11 unit facility in North Minneapolis, that will also service men. This opportunity expanded our service impact by 3x the capacity of our original residence in Brooklyn Center.
- Our future goal is to also provide permanent Housing and Srvices for Families, Women and Youth.
- We have a goal to provide permanent housing for 100 people by 2020.
Affirmation House Vision Statement
Our Reason for Being
Our goal is to provide permanent Housing and services for Families, Women and Youth. Affirmation House will provide these services because the problem of chronic homelessness in Minnesota remains critical. In Minnesota, people are considered to be experiencing long-term homelessness if they have been homeless for at least one year, or have experienced four or more episodes of homelessness in the last three years. According to a 2006 report by the Wilder Research Foundation:
- There are 9,200 people who are homeless in Minnesota on any given night. Of these, 30% are adult men age 22 or older.
- In 2006, over half of homeless adults and youth (age 17 and under)reported a serious mental illness.
- Black, American Indian and Hispanic people continued to make up the majority (54%) of the adult homeless population, while they make up fewer than 10 percent of the overall Minnesota adult population.
- 59% of the homeless adults had received Food Stamps during the previous 12 months.
- Education among homeless adults:
- 26% of the homeless in Minnesota had no high school diploma.
- 47% had a high school diploma or GED.
- 27% had at least some higher education
- 24% had received special education services while in school
The City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County have started an initiative to end homelessness in our community by 2016. The plan, also known as Heading Home Hennepin, was developed by business and civic leaders, advocates, community members, and individuals who have experienced homelessness. It was created to help address the growing problem of homelessness and change the paradigm from managing it to ending it.
The Office to End Homelessness is a city/county partnership created with support from Mayor R.T. Rybak and Commissioner Gail Dorfman, as well as support from both the Minneapolis City Council and Hennepin County Board of Commissioners. It is NHF's desire to partner with these organizations to assist in the goal of ending homelessness one person at a time by offering services and support to assist individuals on their journey from homelessness.
Affirmation House has just launched our new and improved Website Platform to start the 2014 year off with a greater community presence then ever before! Our new Website Platform will enable us to better communicate with community members and provide essential updates about our projects. Please take a moment to show your support by registering with our new website.. it's FREE!!

Funniest thing is my co-worker had to fill out a safety incident report about it because he bumped his head on the way down. (nothing serious...I mean, that wouldn't be funny)

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Our ECMO Center offers a multispecialty team led by Medical Directors Francine Dykes, M.D., James D. Fortenberry, M.D., and Kirk Kanter, M.D.

Deb Laporte, Director at Egleston
Cindy Henderson, Director at Scottish Rite
In addition to your routine pediatric care we highly recommend that your child be seen in the Emory Developmental Continuity Program. The follow-up program coordinates and provides the special medical care your child may need; identifies any special needs that your child may have; helps you understand your child's growth and development; and helps you find any necessary services for your child as soon as possible. All babies are offered this program. Older children are followed by their pediatricians who monitor your child for medical, developmental, visual, speech or hearing needs.
We want to see your child at three and six months after discharge and again at one year, then every year thereafter. Extra visits may be scheduled depending on your child's individual needs. Your child has a physical exam and a neurodevelopmental exam at every visit. These are done to check the child's progress with sitting, walking and using his arms and legs equally. This also helps us to see how well your child is learning about the world around him. The nurse discharging your child may schedule an appointment for your child. If not, please call the clinic to schedule one. The clinic sends a reminder several weeks before the appointment. You may also receive a call to confirm the appointment.
A summary of each follow-up visit is sent to your doctor or clinic and others involved in your child's care. Remember this program is not to take the place of the care your child would normally receive from your doctor. You should still schedule regular check-ups, shots and sick visits with your pediatrician.
We would like to keep your current address and phone number in our records, so if you move, please let us know as soon as possible.

Jan Hammer: Braching
Jan Hammer (keyboards)
Maliny Maliny (MPS 1784595)
Jan Hammer (keyboards), George Mraz (bass),
Cees See (drums).
Composed by Jan Hammer.
Recorded: Munich, Germany, August 1968
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
When 1968's Maliny Maliny was released on LP in the USA in 1976, it was retitled Make Love. Many years later, I asked Jan Hammer what the hell "Maliny Maliny" meant? He laughed and told me it translated from Czech to "Raspberry Raspberry." He had no memory as to why the album and a song were named that. He thinks he may have just been silly at the time.
There is nothing silly about "Braching." Jan Hammer performs the piece on piano. It is a serious blues that has some regimented riffs that sound almost like marching music. Cees See offers a drum cadence and is joined in unison by bassist George Mraz and then by Hammer. There are several sections to the performance. The introduction has that quasi-militaristic feel. The next segment is a flying piano blues. That Hammer guy has some mean chops! Mraz is then given an extended-duty bass solo at which he earns a promotion. The main theme returns to end the exercise. At Ease!

Full text not available from this repository.
View at publisher
BACKGROUND: Patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) might continue treatment with a virologically failing regimen. We sought to identify annual change in CD4(+) T-cell count according to levels of viraemia in patients on cART.
METHODS: A total of 111,371 CD4(+) T-cell counts and viral load measurements in 8,227 patients were analysed. Annual change in CD4(+) T-cell numbers was estimated using mixed models.
RESULTS: After adjustment, the estimated average annual change in CD4(+) T-cell count significantly increased when viral load was <500 copies/ml (30.4 cells/mm(3), 95% confidence interval [CI] 26.6-34.3), was stable when viral load was 500-9,999 copies/ml (3.1 cells/mm(3), 95% CI -5.3-11.5) and decreased when viral load was > or =10,000 copies/ml (-14.8 cells/mm(3), 95% CI -4.5--25.1). Patients taking a boosted protease inhibitor (PI) regimen had more positive annual CD4(+) T-cell count changes than patients taking other regimens for any given viral load strata: 30.9 cells/mm(3) (95% CI 27.7-34.1) when viral load was <500 copies/ml, 14.2 cells/mm(3) (95% CI -2.1-30.4) when viral load was 500-9,999 copies/ml and -19.9 cells/mm(3) (95% CI -36.6--3.3) when viral load was >or =10,000 copies/ml. By contrast, among patients taking a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based regimen, the CD4(+) T-cell count significantly decreased when the viral load was 500-9,999 copies/ml (-18.6 cells/mm(3), 95% CI -33.8--3.5) and decreased at a faster rate when the viral load was > or =10,000 copies/ml (-44.4 cells/mm(3), 95% CI -62.0--26.9; P=0.0012, test for interaction).
CONCLUSIONS: On average, CD4(+) T-cell counts did not significantly decrease until the viral load exceeded 10,000 copies/ml in patients treated with a boosted PI-containing cART regimen, but decreased in patients taking an NNRTI-based cART regimen when viral load was 500-9,999 copies/ml.

Many of us grew up with the belief that achieving success requires relentless hard work, grim determination and intense ambition. As a result, we may have struggled for years and even reached some of our goals but wound up feeling exhausted, our lives out of balance. As Deepak Chopra observes in his transformational book The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success,such desperate striving isn't necessary or even desirable. In the natural world, creation comes forth with ease. A seed doesn't struggle to become a tree―it simply unfolds in grace.
The seven spiritual laws are powerful principles you can use to fulfill your deepest desires with grace and ease. These laws of aren't difficult or mysterious but are easy to understand and apply. Each day of the week is dedicated to one of the seven spiritual laws. We invite you to develop a daily practice in which you meditate or take a few moments to quiet your mind, and then read the spiritual law of the day and practice applying it throughout the day.

According to this article, it was mentioned:
there may be advantages in drinking cold water for weight loss
So, does drinking cold water really help to reduce weight? and does drinking warm water really help to increase weight?
According to this article, it was mentioned:
So, does drinking cold water really help to reduce weight? and does drinking warm water really help to increase weight?
TL;DR: No, not to any large extent - the effects are swamped by other, much larger factors.
In this study, the energy expenditure of some young subjects were measured before and after drinking 500mL of distilled water, saline, sucrose and cold (3°C) water.
Warning: The abstract does not detail the size of the sample, except noting it was a subgroup of the main experiment.
But, we are talking about the human body, so it is more complicated than that. If you want to lose weight by increasing your energy expenditure, exercise is a major factor. If you want to exercise for long periods, ensuring you aren't dehydrated is a major factor. Which brings us to another effect of water temperature.
Fourteen men were offered 15°C water, 40°C water, 15°C flavored water, and 40°C flavored water while doing six hours (on-and-off) of treadmill exercise. The men were divided into two based on whether they tended to replenish the weight lost through sweat ("Drinkers" or D) or not ("Reluctant Drinkers" or RD). Both groups drank significantly more water when it was cold.
Note: The short-term body-weight loss here is presumably mainly water-loss not fat-loss.
The definition of cold varies between the two studies cited. Which brings us to another interesting study.
They offered water at a range of temperatures to some people dehydrated through sweating or mountain climbing, measured how much they drank, and asked what they preferred.
The subjects rated the coldest water as more pleasurable, but drank more when they drank it at 15°C. If given the opportunity to mix the water to a drinkable temperature, they also chose 14.9°C. This contradiction between drinking the most at 15°C but rating 0°C as more pleasurable was attributed to the volunteers being too hot as well as dehydrated:
Yes, drinking cold-water may help with weight loss, however this will probably be less effective than you'd like, and almost ineffective if used in isolation of greater diet reform and exercise.
Firstly, the Human operates at around 37.0°C (98.6°F). This is called the operating temperature. When the temperature of the body drops, the body must work harder (thermoregulate) to raise that temperature back to 98.6°F. It's just thermodynamics though. "Cold water" lowers your body temperature and because humans are warm blooded, your body will modify your metabolism to raise your body temperature: think a biological heater. This requires energy -- in dietary terms, calories:
Discovery Health and Fitness estimates this to be 70 Calories (292 kJ) a day if you drink eight 8-ounce glasses (1.9L) of 0°C ice water. Some fluids will require more energy for your body to raise to body temperature, some will require less.

Vinyl Countdown
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 20:25, 18 August 2009 by SuperTron500 (talk)
Vinyl Countdown is a music store located in both Vice City (in 1986) and Los Santos (in 1992), and appears in both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The store, in GTA Vice City, is one of the fifteen stores that must be robbed for 100% completion. Whilst in GTA Vice City Stories Smiley #9 can be found in the store. The name is a reference to the hit single "The Final Countdown" by Swedish rock band Europe - the song was released the same year GTA Vice City was set in. The franchise still existed as of 1992.

April 24, 2012
DeKalb, Ill. – Senior Brad Dieckhaus was named the team's most valuable wrestler at the Northern Illinois Wrestling banquet Sunday as the team officially closed the book on their 2011-12 season. The most valuable wrestler was one of several honors given out for excellence on the mat and in the classroom. Dieckhaus earned the Bruce Swierczewski Most Valuable Wrestler Award after qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the second-straight season, while also taking second at 184 in the Mid-American Conference Championships. The St. Charles, Mo. native also became the first NIU wrestler since 1964-65 to finish the regular season undefeated and earned All-MAC and Academic All-MAC honors. Fellow senior Mike Lukowski was honored with the inaugural True Grit Award for his hard-nosed wrestling style. Lukowski finished the season with an 11-8 record, along with taking fourth at 197 pounds in the MAC Championships. Sophomore Nick Smith earned the Will McDermott Most Dedicated Award after posting a 14-7 record at 125 pounds despite battling several upper-body injuries throughout the season. Meanwhile, redshirt sophomore Kevin Fanta took home the Most Improved Award for his 13-7 season and first-career NCAA Championships appearance. For the Huskies who redshirted during the season, Ethan Davis was named the Outstanding Redshirt of the Year. The freshman from Monett, Mo. placed at every open tournament during the season – including first place showings at the Pointer Open and Harper Open – to finish the season with a 16-3 record. Off the mat, Dieckhaus and Dan Burk shared the Upperclassmen Academic Award for their accomplishments in the classroom. Dieckhaus currently holds a 4.0 GPA in graduate school studying sport management, while Burk holds a 3.5 GPA while studying kinesiology. Among freshmen, Matt Frisch took the Freshmen Academic Award with a 3.3 GPA in business administration. Shawn Fayette garnered the Lifter of the Year Award after breaking several of his personal lift records over the preseason and during the year. The banquet concluded with speeches from Dieckhaus and Lukowski before the team's annual highlight video officially closed the banquet.

Kendall Jenner has been making a name for herself on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Now she thinks she's the hottest sister on the show reported Reality TV Magazine on July 17, 2014. It appears one problem with Jenner's recent success is that all the attention may be going to her head according to Reality TV Magazine.
There's no doubt about it that Kendall is very proud of how popular she has become. In fact according to recent gossip on Facebook she thinks she deserves a large pay raise. It appears Kendall is positioned to take the place of Kim Kardashian as the hottest sister on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Kendall has also been sharing this view of things on Twitter.
It has been rumored that Kendall thinks her sister Kim is no longer very relevant and that she does not deserve her incredibly high reality television salary. A source has said Kendall really thinks she's the hottest sister by far. It appears ever since she became famous and got deeply involved in fashion she began to see herself as better than everyone else.
Kendall is not being shy about expressing her intense sexuality and keen desire for recognition. She's been getting a lot of the attention she desires by wearing just about nothing for Love Magazine reports US Weekly. In a feature spread by Mario Sorrenti for Love Magazine she is looking hotter than ever at 18 years old. She appears in just a suggestive bra, underwear, and lace hosiery with a wet head and just a little makeup. It appears this striking young beauty has a fantastic career in front of her.

Blizzard made a slight "nerf" Wednesday to the Hunter deck in its ultra-popular competitive card game, "Hearthstone" for the PC and iPad. Those that love to "Unleash the Hounds" will find it slightly more expensive to do so.
The "Unleash the Hounds" card in the Hunter deck saw its mana cost go up from two to three with the new update to the game. The card has become famous (or infamous) for its ability summon a 1/1 dog with Charge for each minion on an opponent's board. Combined with other cards in the Hunter deck that either boost the attack rating of the hound or allow the player to draw additional cards for each Hound summoned, it's quickly become a popular and dominant tactic in the current metagame.
Since we've seen many cards and deck types in the current state of the game rise and fall as players adapt, we did not want to change Unleash the Hounds immediately," community manager Zeriyah wrote on Battle.net. "However, Hunter decks have become increasingly more dominant and are doing better than we are comfortable across many levels of play."
"We do like the idea of decks that have a really big turn and pull off a sweet combo, but when playing against Hunter decks, you may feel punished too much for playing minions," he explained. "Playing minions is one of the key, fun pieces of the overall Hearthstone puzzle, and feeling like your options are limited by the opponent creates a play experience that may not be particularly enjoyable."
While Zeriyah said that the increase in one mana cost should make "Unleash the Hounds" more fun to play against while still allowing for big plays, fans of "Hearthstone" were not so sure. Some of the comments posted in response to the announcement still felt the card is too overpowered due to the combos and the still relatively low cost. Whether further nerfing will be warranted remains to be seen.

College Hockey:Mitchell's OT winner sends RIT past St. Lawrence
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — RIT's annual Brick City Homecoming and Family Game at Rochester's downtown Blue Cross Arena has quickly become one of the key sporting events in the Flower City.
Saturday night, a sellout crowd of 10,556 witnessed another thrilling game between their hometown Tigers and St. Lawrence University.
This time, they went home happy.
Adam Hartley tied the game with nine seconds left in regulation, sending the capacity crowd into a frenzy. Then 14 seconds into overtime, Adam Mitchell raised the decibel level even higher with the winner for a 6-5 victory.
"(Cameron) Burt made a nice soft pass to me, I somehow got the puck on my stick, and it went into the back of the net," Mitchell said of the game winner. "I thought I was in on a breakaway and then the defenseman came and I tried to get it on my backhand. I kind of lost it and I tried to bring it back to shoot and I lost it again. And then I got enough wood on it to get it into the net. (St. Lawrence goaltender Matt Weninger) had no idea what I was doing and neither did I. It kind of worked out better, perhaps."
"We weathered some storms they brought and then we brought some good moments," RIT coach Wayne Wilson said. "We talked during the break before overtime, let's use that momentum."
"Our defenseman made a poor play on the play," St. Lawrence associate coach Mike Hurlbut said of the OT winner.
The tying goal came after RIT withstood a five-minute major against Nolan Descoteaux for contact to the head. With their goalie pulled, the Tigers poured the pressure on. They were rewarded when Hartley found a loose puck in front of the net after a rebound from Burt's shot and buried it while being hit from behind.
"I give Burt credit because he was on his last breath there," Hartley said. "It came to me. It hit my left skate. I kicked it and I think it hit my right skate and I just kind of shoveled it in there. The puck seemed like it went so slow to the line. I was counting in my head how many seconds it was going to take. When it went across, it was pure joy."
"The defense was on the wrong side of the man in front of the net," Hurlbut said.
It appeared St. Lawrence took control of the game when they scored twice in the first seven minutes to break a 3-3 tie. Patrick Doherty did the honors within a 1:41 span.
The first one came unassisted at 5:09. The second on a quick turnaround one-timer over the Shane Madolora's glove at 6:50.
However, RIT would not fold. On an ensuing power play, Bryan Potts at the backdoor tipped in a crossing pass from Burt to cut the lead to one.
"At times we played very well," Hurlbut said. "Typical RIT, they never give up. They played with a lot of every with the crowd behind them."
"A game like this does a lot of things positively, mentally," Wilson said. "One, surviving a five-minute major. Two, scoring that last-minute goal. And then winning it."
The star of the game was Burt, arguably the fans' favorite player. He scored the Tigers' first two goals and then assisted on the final three. When the fans ran around the rink with RIT flags, one fan had a large cardboard cutout of Burt.
"I didn't have the year I wanted to have last year," Burt said. "I worked hard over the summer. I just wanted to come back and be a better team player and do what I have to do for the team to win it."
Feeding off the energy from the capacity crowd, RIT scored first at 3:23. Burt fired in a rebound from Daniel Spivak's shot from the point, beating Weninger over the shoulder.
RIT nearly made it 2-0 seconds later on an odd-man rush, but the Tigers fired it wide.
The momentum continued RIT's way when they got the first power play of the night, but that momentum quickly disappeared when St. Lawrence scored in the shorthanded situation at 8:29. Kyle Flanagan finished off a perfectly executed a two-on-one with a one-timer past Madolora.
This was Madolora's first goal he let in this season after 73:29 of shutout hockey.
St. Lawrence took the lead 5:05 into the second on the power play on Flanagan's second goal. He was allowed to walk in front from behind the net, beating Madolora around his stick side.
Five minutes later, RIT tied the game on their own power play goal with Burt one-timing a crossing pass from Brad McGowan.
A few minutes later, RIT had their second lead of the game when Potts followed up his own rebound to stuff it in.
It appeared RIT had a two-goal lead late in the period when a shorthanded break initially appeared to go in, but it rippled the outside of the net instead. Play continued and the Saints came back during the power play to tie the game with 57 seconds left in the period.
The tying goal was a result of constant pressure culminating in Kyle Essery firing in a rebound after Jeremy Wick's initial shot from the right point.
Then, the dramatic third period unfolded followed by the quick overtime winner. It was RIT's first regular season victory in the downtown arena since moving to Division I.
"It's a nice change showing the crowd a win for once instead of a 4-4 tie or a 3-2 loss in my freshman year," Hartley said.
Local soccer superstar Abby Wambach, who knows a thing or two about thrilling games, dropped the ceremonial puck before the game.
RIT (1-0-1) travels to Canisius Thursday for an Atlantic Hockey game. St. Lawrence (0-4-0) returns home next weekend for ECAC match ups against Union and Rensselaer.

During the heyday of the littérature courtoise, two important historical documents were written about the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204). While the littérature courtoise presents a world of courtly ideals and magic events, the historians in their work present the real world, with its base passions.
Although Crusades primarily had an ideological motivation -- liberating the places of pilgrimage and safeguarding pilgims -- political, personal, and socio-economical reasons soon became important as well. During the Fourth Crusade the original aim, the liberation of Jerusalem, was completely forgotten when political profit and personal greed came to prevail.
The expedition was used by the doge of Venice to reinforce his political power. It established the political hegemony of Venice over the Mediterranean, and ensured its important commercial privileges. The abuse of power of the doge was based on the primordial role Venice played in the transportation of troops. The Crusade never made it beyond Constantinople, which was sacked; there one of the Crusaders, Baudoin of Flanders, was made emperor of the Latin Empire. The Empire would last until 1261.
Two participants in the Fourth Crusade have left lengthy reports about the events: one is written by a poor knight from Picardie, Robert de Clari, who was a simple warrior. The title of his work is L'histoire de ceux qui conquirent Constantinople.
The other source is the Histoire de la conquête de Constantinople, written between 1207 and 1213 by one of the leaders of the Crusade, Geoffroi de Villehardouin, who originally came from Champagne. Villehardouin relates the historical events in a sober style, but his report may not be completely impartial.
The reading for this lesson has been taken from Villehardouin's Histoire de la conquête de Constantinople, sections 345 and 346. In it, reference is made to the Greek as enemy. Having conquered Constantinople, the Crusaders took over Christian property in the area as well, because the Greek population and church were not part of the Church of Rome.
The reader will notice Villehardouin's sober style, with its simplicity and lack of artificial effects. Because of its plainness, many assume that Villehardouin's language was rather close to the spoken language of the day.
As an important representative of the medieval aristocracy, Villehardouin in his text expresses many ideals of his class, the most important of which are loyalty and faithfulness (in relation to God, promises made, and so forth) and braveness. Consequently he rejects any form of cowardice, as he does in the text selected here.
The text has an example of a vigesimal numeral: a numeral based on counting in twenties, rather than in tens. The element in question is the number VI with XX in superscript, meaning six times twenty, six-vingts 'one hundred and twenty'. Vigesimals appeared in the various Indo-European languages in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. Whereas the (inherited) counting system was decimal in early Old French (e.g. huitante 'eighty'), vigesimal numbers emerged and spread starting in the 12th century. In the 16th and 17th centuries their number decreased, and modern quatre-vingts and soixante-dix (a so-called semi-vigesimal) are residues of a phenomenon that was widespread in Old and Middle French (see References in Lesson 10).

The book relates a great remarkable event:
the fact that Renier de Trit, who was at Finepople,
at least a nine-days journey away from Constantinople,
had at least one hundred and twenty knights with him,
and the fact that Reniers, his son, abandoned him with Giles, his brother,
and Jake de Bondine, who was his nephew,
and Achar de Vercli, who was married to his daughter.
And they took away from him at least thirty of his knights,
and they thought of going to Constantinople,
and they had abandoned him in such great danger, as you well understand.
And they found the country in revolt against them,
and they were defeated, and thus the Greek took them prisoner,
who subsequently handed them over to the king of Blaquie,
who afterwards ordered their heads to be cut off.
And you should know that they were very little mourned by the people,
because they had been misbehaving that much towards the one
to whom they should not have behaved that way.
And when the other knights of Renier de Trit saw that,
those who were not that close to him,
as people who were less afraid of shame,
they abandoned him, at least eighty knights all together,
and they went away via another road.
And Renier de Trit stayed among the Greek with few people:
because he did not have more than fifteen knights at Phynepople and at Stanemac,
which was a very strong castle that he held,
and where he subsequently was besieged for a long time.
Questions in Old French can be marked by intonation, cf.:
|il vos mescroit de moi forment
|et j'en tendrait le parlement?
|(Bér., Trist. 169-170, Lesson 5)
|'he suspects you strongly because of me and I would talk about it?'
Inversion is also found, cf.:
|Sire cumpain, faites le vos de gred?' (CdR 2000)
|'Sir companion, do you do this of free will?
In addition a series of interrogative elements are used. The Old French interrogative pronoun qui, ki traces back to Latin quis 'who' (fem. quae, and neuter quod). The paradigm in Old French is as follows:
Interrogative Pronoun, qui 'who?', que 'what?', 'which?'
|Nom. Sg/Pl.
|qui, ki
|que, ke
|Nom. Sg/Pl. (str.)
|quoi, coi
|Dir. Obj. Sg/Pl.
|que, ke
|que, ke
|Dir. Obj. Sg/Pl. (str.)
|quoi, quei
|Indir. Obj.
· qui nominative masculine and feminine:
|E ki serat devant mei en l'ansguarde? (CdR 748)
|'and who will be in front of me in the vanguard?'
· que direct object animate and neuter nominative and direct object, cf.:
|que fereient il el? (CdR 1185)
|'what would else would they do?'
· cui functions as a strong direct object (e.g. with a preposition) and as indirect object, cf.:
|de ço qui calt? (CdR 1806)
|'to whom is it of importance?'
This example also shows that qui and cui often are confused.
As the strong form of the neuter interrogative, quoi may be used in isolation (quoi? 'what?'), but it typically combines with prepositions, cf.:
|Pur quei me portez ire? (CdR 1723)
|'why are you angry with me?'
|de quei avez pesance? (CdR 832)
|'what hurts you?'
In addition, Old French has an interrogative element quant meaning 'how much, how many':
Declension of quant 'how much', 'how many'
|Nom. sg.
|Obl. sg.
|Nom. pl.
|Obl. pl.
And an element quel 'which, what', which has the following paradigm:
Declension of quel 'which', 'what'
|Nom. sg.
|Obl. sg.
|Nom. pl.
|Obl. pl.
NB: -l- may vocalize before -s, which will give: queus
|Par quele gent quiet il espleiter tant? (CdR 395)
|'for what people is he pretending to accomplish such things?'
|En quel mesure en purrai estre fiz? (CdR 146)
|'in what circumstances can I trust it?'
The reader will have noticed that interrogative elements tend to occur in clause-initial position and therefore trigger subject inversion when they do not convey subject function, cf.:
|que fereient il el? (CdR 1185)
|'what would else would they do?'
· with an interrogative adverb, cf.:
|U estes vos, bels niés (CdR 2403, Lesson 2)
|'where are you, beloved cousin?'
|U est vostre espee? (CdR 1363)
|'where is your sword?'
|cum le purrum nus faire? (CdR 1698)
|'how should we do it?'
The paradigm for the relative pronoun is almost identical to that of interrogatives, cf.:
Relative Pronoun, qui 'who', que 'that, which'
|Nom. Sg/Pl.
|qui, ki
|que, ke
|Nom. Sg/Pl. (str.)
|quoi, coi
|Dir. Obj. Sg/Pl.
|que, ke
|Dir. Obj. Sg/Pl. (str.)
|quoi, quei
|Indir. Obj.
Other elements that are used in relative clauses are:
· dont, originally an adverb of place and often used as an interrogative or relative, meaning 'from where, whence'. It may also refer to animate nouns, 'of whose'.
· lequel 'which', which spread from the 13th century onwards.
· ou, originally a relative and interrogative. It refers to animate and inanimate nouns, meaning 'where, in which, in whom'.
32.1. Function of qui as impersonal. On the whole the uses of the relative pronoun correspond to the regular functions of the cases. Yet there are a few important phenomena. One of them is the use of subject qui conveying generalizing value, often tending toward 'if one ...', 'whoever'. Cf.:
|Ki l'unt oïd remainent en grant dute (Al. 300)
|'those who heard it remain very frightened'
Many proverbs in Old French include a generalizing qui:
|qui tout tient tout pert
|'who keeps it all to himself, will lose it all' >
|'if one keeps it all to one's self, one will lose it all'
32.2. Cui is used in Old French primarily as indirect object, but is also found in the function of a direct object, a genitive, or a prepositional complement.
32.3. Regular use of relative pronouns includes the occurrence of an antecedent, cf.:
|N'i ad castel ki devant lui remaigne (CdR 4, Lesson 1)
|'there is no castle that resists him'
The physical distance between the antecendent and the relative pronoun may be rather lengthy:
|Li reis Marsilie la tient, ki Deu nen aimet (CdR 7, Lesson 1)
|'Marsilie holds it, who does not love God'
The antecedent ce is often deleted, cf.:
|ne sai jo que face (CdR 1982)
|'I do not know what to do'
32.4. Deletion of relative pronoun. The relative pronoun is quite often deleted after a negation, cf.:
|Ja mais n'ert hume plus volenters le serve (CdR 2254)
|'there will never be a man who will serve him more readily'
While Latin nouns that survived in Old French originally were accusatives, a few nominatives made it into (Old) French as well, cf. the difference between modern sire and seigneur, which trace back to the nominative and accusative respectively. Similarly two forms of the Latin noun homo survive, one goes back to the nominative, one is the former accusative, cf. La. homo, which survives as on 'one', and La. hominem which survives as modern French homme 'man'. We therefore observe that in the history of Old French the nominative form homo survived and grammaticalized into a pronoun; the accusative form survived as a regular noun and did not undergo a process of grammaticalization.
Grammaticalization is a type of change whereby a lexical element develops into a grammatical element: in this instance the noun homo developed into a pronominal element in French. Similarly the Latin noun mente developed into a derivational suffix in adverb formation in Romance (see Grammar Point 26). It is also possible that a grammatical element develops a stronger grammatical profile. This happened when Latin demonstratives -- with deictic value -- developed into definite articles (see Grammar Point 13).
The fact that Old French (l')on is a grammaticalized personal pronoun does not mean that the original element no longer is used as noun. The noun in question had the following declension pattern:
Declension of (l')ome
|(l') (h)om,
|(li) (h)ome
|(l ) on
|(l') uem
|(l') (h)ome
|(les) (h)omes
Nominative singular forms, with or without definite article, occur with the generalizing meaning of 'one' from early texts onward, cf.:
|iluec paist l'um del relef de la tabla (Al. 247, Lesson 3)
|'there they feed him on the scraps of dinner'
|que l'an ne l'apialt recreant (Yv. 2563, Lesson 6)
|'so that one will not call him a coward'
The nominal origin of the element is reflected in the occurrence of the definite article. Since the element refers to an undetermined person or undetermined persons, on may be rendered by in translations by 'one', general 'they', or passive constructions.
In the glosses instances of (l')on have been identified as third person personal pronouns because the grammaticalization process has reached that stage in Old French.
In Old French we find several processes of agreement:
· Agreement between subject and finite verb. When there are several subjects in a clause, the verb agrees with the subject that is closest, cf.:
|Karles l'oït e ses cumpaignes tutes (CdR 1757, Lesson 2)
|'Charles hears it and all his troops' >
|'Charles and all his troops hear it'
For collective subjects there is variation: sometimes the finite verb is singular sometimes it is plural:
|Quan Rollant voit la ... gent,
|ki plus sunt neirs que ... (CdR 1933-1934)
|'when Rollant sees the ... people who are more black then ...'
· Agreement between noun and adjective. The patterns in Old French are not different from those in Indo-European. A remarkable phenomenon is the declension of adjectives that are used as adverbs (see Grammar Point 26), but continue to be marked for agreement, cf.:
|tote sui sole en ceste terre (Bér., Trist. 153, Lesson 5)
|'I am completely alone in this country'
· Agreement between nouns and their determiners: there is agreement marking for case, number, and gender, cf.:
|cest mien anel (Yv. 2603)
|'this ring of mine'
· Agreement between noun and perfective participle. Agreement patterns depend on the auxiliary used in these contexts. A perfective participle that combines with the auxiliary estre 'be' will agree in case, number and gender with the subject of the clause, cf.:
|fut presentede Maximiien (Eul. 11, Lesson 4)
|'she was brought before Maximian'
|morz est Rollant (CdR 2397, Lesson 2)
|'Roland has died'
When the perfective participle combines with the auxiliary avoir 'have', it may agree in case, number and gender with the direct object, independently of its relative position to the participle, cf.:
|ço dist li reis que sa guere out finee (CdR 705)
|'the king says that he had finished his war'
|Rollant ad l'enseigne fermee (CdR 707)
|'Roland has attached the standard'
|Cordres ad prise e les murs peceiez (CdR 97, Lesson 1)
|'he has taken Cordres and smashed its walls'
|proïe avez la duchesse
|'you have robbed the duchess'
When the direct object is masculine, agreement is especially manifest when the participle follows, cf.:
|Charles li magnes ad Espaigne guastede
|les castels pris, les citez violees (CdR 703-704)
|'Charlemagne has devastated Spain,
|taken castles and violated towns'
Conversely when the direct object -- masculine or feminine -- follows the participle, there may be no agreement:
|j'ai creü vostre parole
|'I believed what you said'
The perfective participle may also agree with the direct object of an infinitive or with a direct object that is not explicit in the clause. Neuter elements (pronouns) do not feature agreement. Along these same lines, there is no agreement in compound tenses including impersonal verbs.
In a so-called brace construction, the finite verb and the perfective participle are separated by the direct object, cf.:
|Li empereres out sa raisun fenie (CdR 193)
|'the emperor had finished his speech'
In Grammar Point 17 it was noted that if word order in Old French already had strong SVO characteristics, there still are several archaic features, cf. for example the occurrence of SOV in subordinate clauses. Another archaism is the ordering of the direct object between the auxiliary and the perfective participle, as in:
|Li reis ad la culur muee (CdR 441)
|'the king had changed color'
This type of construction goes back to the original Latin construction in which a lexical verb 'have' combined with a direct object determined by a perfective participle, cf.:
|'I have letters that are written'
|puer epistulas scriptas habet
|'the boy has letters that are written'
It would go too far to discuss the development of habeo into a Romance auxiliary, but it is clear that when habeo changed position, a so-called brace construction emerged, cf.:
|puer habet epistulas scriptas
In Old French:
|li gars a letres escrites
At later stages:
|le garçon a escrit(es) les letres
The brace construction survived in Old French for a long time: instances are still found in the 17th century. Yet in the Old French documents, one observed a gradual decline in occurrence.
Examples in Old French:
|ad sun tens uset (CdR 523)
|'he has finished his time'
|par tant teres ad sun cors travaillet (CdR 540)
|'he has burdened his body by all these countries'
|Guenes li fels ad nostre mort juree (CdR 1456)
|'Ganelon the traitor has sworn to our death'

patterns patterns patterns
Although there is none of my actual final art work on this blog as of yet, A key feature in a lot of my self directed/personal style work features simple shapes and patterns. At the moment, I'm focusing on bringing together all the little doodles together and creating some more patterns to be made into brushes. By having some of my patterns made into brushes or patterns to be used in illustrator or Photoshop I will be able to experiment with things a lot quicker compared to having to draw everything, scan it in and then figure out how it will work with my final pieces. Defiantly going to try and incorporate them into my postcards project which is coming along nicely. I was really inspired by this box of old postcards saw in a local charity shop. I didn't have any money on me at the time to go buy them, so I'm hoping to go back on Monday, fingers crossed they will still be there!
PS. Im hoping to start posting everyday (or so) from now on, Monday will become my offical "first" blog. EEEP.

I love your blog so much that I'm reading it all right now, haha! My goal is to have a blog layout like you. A blog where you just automatic move on to "older post" because you can't stop reading.ReplyDelete
Also, I wanna do something graphic! But it seems that you have to have tried adobe photoshop for most schools, but it's so expensive. I just wanna ask, if you tried it before you started your education? :)

A man is critically ill after catching the new coronavirus from a relative, although experts say infection risk is very low.
16:03, UK, Wednesday 13 February 2013
Doctors have confirmed the first case of known human-to-human spread of a deadly new respiratory virus in Britain.
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) said the man had been in close contact with a relative who had picked up the infection while travelling in the Middle East and Pakistan.
The so-called "novel" coronavirus causes severe breathing problems and has killed five of the 11 confirmed cases around the world.
The HPA announced on Monday the first case in a UK resident, and said the critically ill man was being treated in isolation at the Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester.
A third case involves a man from Qatar who is receiving treatment in the UK.
The new case is receiving intensive care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. It is understood that he has an existing medical condition that may have made him more susceptible to respiratory infections.
Professor John Watson, head of the respiratory diseases department at the HPA, said: "Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person-to-person transmission has occurred, and that it occurred in the UK.
"This case is a family member who was in close personal contact with the earlier case and who may have been at greater risk of acquiring an infection because of their underlying health condition.
"To date, evidence of person-to-person transmission has been limited. Although this case provides strong evidence for person-to-person transmission, the risk of infection in most circumstances is still considered to be very low."
Coronaviruses can cause the common cold, but can also result in more severe illness such as Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome).
Anyone who develops a fever, cough, and breathing difficulties within 10 days of travelling to the Arabian peninsula or surrounding countries should seek medical advice and mention their travel itinerary.

The usual way to invoke XEmacs is to type xemacs RET at the shell. XEmacs clears the screen and then displays an initial advisory message and copyright notice. You can begin typing XEmacs commands immediately afterward.
Some operating systems insist on discarding all type-ahead when XEmacs starts up; they give XEmacs no way to prevent this. Therefore, it is advisable to wait until XEmacs clears the screen before typing your first editing command.
If you run XEmacs from a shell window under the X Window System, run it in the background with `xemacs&'. This way, XEmacs does not tie up the shell window, so you can use that to run other shell commands while XEmacs operates its own X windows. You can begin typing XEmacs commands as soon as you direct your keyboard input to the XEmacs frame.
Before Emacs reads the first command, you have not had a chance to give a command to specify a file to edit. Since Emacs must always have a current buffer for editing, it presents a buffer, by default, a buffer named `*scratch*'. The buffer is in Lisp Interaction mode; you can use it to type Lisp expressions and evaluate them, or you can ignore that capability and simply doodle. (Which is where the name comes from; a "scratch pad" is a set of paper for doodling on, something not necessarily clear to all the English-speakers who read this.)
You can specify a different major mode for this buffer by setting the
initial-major-mode in your init file. See section 27.7 The Init File.
It is possible to specify files to be visited, Lisp files to be loaded, and functions to be called, by giving Emacs arguments in the shell command line. See section 3.2 Command Line Switches and Arguments. But we don't recommend doing this. The feature exists mainly for compatibility with other editors.
Many other editors are designed to be started afresh each time you want to edit. You edit one file and then exit the editor. The next time you want to edit either another file or the same one, you must run the editor again. With these editors, it makes sense to use a command-line argument to say which file to edit.
But starting a new Emacs each time you want to edit a different file does not make sense. For one thing, this would be annoyingly slow. For another, this would fail to take advantage of Emacs's ability to visit more than one file in a single editing session. And it would lose the other accumulated context, such as registers, undo history, and the mark ring.
The recommended way to use XEmacs is to start it only once, just after you log in, and do all your editing in the same Emacs session. Each time you want to edit a different file, you visit it with the existing Emacs, which eventually comes to have many files in it ready for editing. Usually you do not kill the Emacs until you are about to log out. See section 14. File Handling, for more information on visiting more than one file.

There are two commands for exiting Emacs because there are two kinds of exiting: suspending Emacs and killing Emacs.
Suspending means stopping Emacs temporarily and returning control to its parent process (usually a shell), allowing you to resume editing later in the same Emacs job, with the same buffers, same kill ring, same undo history, and so on. This is the usual way to exit.
Killing Emacs means destroying the Emacs job. You can run Emacs again later, but you will get a fresh Emacs; there is no way to resume the same editing session after it has been killed.
suspend-emacs-or-iconify-frame). If used under the X window
system, shrink the X window containing the Emacs frame to an icon (see
If you use XEmacs under the X window system, C-z shrinks the X window containing the Emacs frame to an icon. The Emacs process is stopped temporarily, and control is returned to the window manager. If more than one frame is associated with the Emacs process, only the frame from which you used C-z is iconified.
To activate the "suspended" Emacs, use the appropriate window manager mouse gestures. Usually left-clicking on the icon reactivates and reopens the X window containing the Emacs frame, but the window manager you use determines what exactly happens. To actually kill the Emacs process, use C-x C-c or the Exit XEmacs item on the File menu.
To suspend Emacs, type C-z (
suspend-emacs). This takes
you back to the shell from which you invoked Emacs. You can resume
Emacs with the shell command `%xemacs' in most common shells.
On systems that do not support suspending programs, C-z starts an inferior shell that communicates directly with the terminal. Emacs waits until you exit the subshell. (The way to do that is probably with C-d or `exit', but it depends on which shell you use.) The only way on these systems to get back to the shell from which Emacs was run (to log out, for example) is to kill Emacs.
Suspending also fails if you run Emacs under a shell that doesn't
support suspending programs, even if the system itself does support it.
In such a case, you can set the variable
cannot-suspend to a
nil value to force C-z to start an inferior shell.
(One might also describe Emacs's parent shell as "inferior" for
failing to support job control properly, but that is a matter of taste.)
When Emacs communicates directly with an X server and creates its own
dedicated X windows, C-z has a different meaning. Suspending an
applications that uses its own X windows is not meaningful or useful.
Instead, C-z runs the command
which temporarily closes up the selected Emacs frame.
The way to get back to a shell window is with the window manager.
To kill Emacs, type C-x C-c (
save-buffers-kill-emacs). A
two-character key is used for this to make it harder to type. Selecting
the Exit XEmacs option of the File menu is an alternate way of
issuing the command.
Unless a numeric argument is used, this command first offers to save any modified file-visiting buffers. If you do not save all buffers, you are asked for reconfirmation with yes before killing Emacs, since any changes not saved will be lost forever. If any subprocesses are still running, C-x C-c asks you to confirm killing them, since killing Emacs will kill the subprocesses immediately.
There is no way to restart an Emacs session once you have killed it. You can, however, arrange for Emacs to record certain session information, such as which files are visited, when you kill it, so that the next time you restart Emacs it will try to visit the same files and so on.
The operating system usually listens for certain special characters whose meaning is to kill or suspend the program you are running. This operating system feature is turned off while you are in Emacs. The meanings of C-z and C-x C-c as keys in Emacs were inspired by the use of C-z and C-c on several operating systems as the characters for stopping or killing a program, but that is their only relationship with the operating system. You can customize these keys to run any commands of your choice (see section 27.5.1 Keymaps).

XEmacs supports command line arguments you can use to request various actions when invoking Emacs. The commands are for compatibility with other editors and for sophisticated activities. If you are using XEmacs under the X window system, you can also use a number of standard Xt command line arguments. Command line arguments are not usually needed for editing with Emacs; new users can skip this section.
Many editors are designed to be started afresh each time you want to edit. You start the editor to edit one file; then exit the editor. The next time you want to edit either another file or the same one, you start the editor again. Under these circumstances, it makes sense to use a command line argument to say which file to edit.
The recommended way to use XEmacs is to start it only once, just after you log in, and do all your editing in the same Emacs process. Each time you want to edit a file, you visit it using the existing Emacs. Emacs creates a new buffer for each file, and (unless you kill some of the buffers) Emacs eventually has many files in it ready for editing. Usually you do not kill the Emacs process until you are about to log out. Since you usually read files by typing commands to Emacs, command line arguments for specifying a file when Emacs is started are seldom needed.
Emacs accepts command-line arguments that specify files to visit, functions to call, and other activities and operating modes. If you are running XEmacs under the X window system, a number of standard Xt command line arguments are available, as well as a few X parameters that are XEmacs-specific.
Options with long names with a single initial hyphen are also recognized with the GNU double initial hyphen syntax. (The reverse is not true.)

Batch mode is used for running programs written in Emacs Lisp from shell scripts, makefiles, and so on. Normally the `-l' switch or `-f' switch will be used as well, to invoke a Lisp program to do the batch processing.
`-batch' implies `-q' (do not load an init file). It also causes Emacs to kill itself after all command switches have been processed. In addition, auto-saving is not done except in buffers for which it has been explicitly requested.
You can also specify this flag implicitly by calling the XEmacs binary with a value for `argv[0]' of `xemacs-script', normally by means of a symbolic link. On a POSIX system, this means that adding the line:
#!/usr/bin/env xemacs-script
at the start of an XEmacs Lisp file, and changing that file's permissions to executable, creates a script that can be invoked by typing the path to the file. XEmacs has logic to ignore the #! line at the start of the script, so that won't cause an error.
Note that the init file can get access to the command line argument
values as the elements of a list in the variable
command-line-args. (The arguments in the second table above will
already have been processed and will not be in the list.) The init file
can override the normal processing of the other arguments by setting
this variable.
One way to use command switches is to visit many files automatically:
xemacs *.c
passes each
.c file as a separate argument to Emacs, so that
Emacs visits each file (see section 14.2 Visiting Files).
Here is an advanced example that assumes you have a Lisp program file called `hack-c-program.el' which, when loaded, performs some useful operation on the current buffer, expected to be a C program.
xemacs -batch foo.c -l hack-c-program -f save-buffer -kill > log
Here Emacs is told to visit `foo.c', load `hack-c-program.el'
(which makes changes in the visited file), save `foo.c' (note that
save-buffer is the function that C-x C-s is bound to), and
then exit to the shell from which the command was executed. `-batch'
guarantees there will be no problem redirecting output to `log',
because Emacs will not assume that it has a display terminal to work

XEmacs deals with a multitude of files during operation. These files are spread over many directories, and XEmacs determines the location of most of these directories at startup and organizes them into various paths. (A path, for the purposes of this section, is simply a list of directories which XEmacs searches successively in order to locate a file.)
|[ < ]
|[ > ]
|[ << ]
|[ Up ]
|[ >> ]
|[ ? ]
Many of the files XEmacs looks for are located within the XEmacs installation itself. However, there are several views of what actually constitutes the "XEmacs installation": XEmacs may be run from the compilation directory, it may be installed into arbitrary directories, spread over several directories unrelated to each other. Moreover, it may subsequently be moved to a different place. (This last case is not as uncommon as it sounds. Binary kits work this way.) Consequently, XEmacs has quite complex procedures in place to find directories, no matter where they may be hidden.
XEmacs will always respect directory options passed to
However, if it cannot locate a directory at the configured place, it
will initiate a search for the directory in any of a number of
hierarchies rooted under a directory which XEmacs assumes contain
parts of the XEmacs installation; it may locate several such hierarchies
and search across them. (Typically, there are just one or two
hierarchies: the hierarchy where XEmacs was or will be installed, and
the one where it is being built.) Such a directory containing a
hierarchy is called a root.
Whenever this section refers to a directory using the shorthand
<root>, it means that XEmacs searches for it under all
hierarchies XEmacs was able to scrounge up. In a
running XEmacs, the hierarchy roots are stored in the variable

|[ >> ]
|[ ? ]
Many relevant directories and files XEmacs uses are actually not part of the core installation. They are part of any of the many packages usually installed on top of an XEmacs installation. (See section 22.8 Packages.) Hence, they play a prominent role in the various paths XEmacs sets up.
XEmacs locates packages in any of a number of package hierarchies. Package hierarchies fall into three groups: early, late, and last, according to the relative location at which they show up in the various XEmacs paths. Early package hierarchies are at the very front, late ones somewhere in the middle, and last hierarchies are (you guessed it) last.
By default, XEmacs expects an early package hierarchy in the subdirectory `.xemacs/xemacs-packages' of the user's home directory.
Moreover, XEmacs expects late hierarchies in the subdirectories `site-packages', `mule-packages', and `xemacs-packages' (in that order) of the `<root>/share/xemacs' subdirectory of one of the installation hierarchies. (If you run in-place, these are direct subdirectories of the build directory.) Furthermore, XEmacs will also search these subdirectories in the `<root>/share/xemacs-<VERSION>' subdirectory and prefer directories found there.
By default, XEmacs does not have a pre-configured last package hierarchy. Last hierarchies are primarily for using package hierarchies of outdated versions of XEmacs as a fallback option. For example, it is possible to run XEmacs 21 with the 20.4 package hierarchy as a last hierarchy.
It is possible to specify at configure-time the location of the various
package directories with the
--with-user-packages (an alias for
--with-system-packages (an alias
for `--with-late-packages'), and
--with-legacy-packages (an
alias for `--with-last-packages') options to configure.
At run time, the package directories may also be specified via the
EMACSLATEPACKAGES, and
EMACSLASTPACKAGES environment variables.
An XEmacs package hierarchy is laid out just like a normal installed XEmacs directory. It may have `lisp', `etc', `info', and `lib-src' subdirectories. (The `lib-src' subdirectory contains architecture-independent general-purpose scripts interpreted by the shell or Perl. Java is also being widely used, but Java programs are generally found under `etc', because they are specific to particular packages such as `JDE' and `xslt'.) XEmacs adds these at appropriate places within the various system-wide paths.
There may be any number of package hierarchy directories.

Here is a list of the various directories and paths XEmacs tries to locate during startup. XEmacs distinguishes between directories and paths specific to version, site, and architecture when looking for them.
During installation, all of these directories may also reside directly under `<root>', because that is where they are in the XEmacs tarball.
If XEmacs runs with the
-debug-paths option (see section 3.2 Command Line Switches and Arguments), it will print the values of these variables, hopefully
aiding in debugging any problems which come up.
It contains the package lisp directories (see further down) and the
version-specific core Lisp directories. If the environment variable
EMACSLOADPATH is set at startup, its directories are prepended to
exec-directory, and the
directories of the environment variables
environment variable.

Dear Fellow Anglers,
I hope your 2015 season is off to a good start. We're having a late spring in northwestern Pennsylvania, but I recently fished a very nice Grannom hatch not too far to the south of Erie. I also recently had the chance to do some saltwater fly fishing. A highlight of the week was using a vintage Medalist Model 1498 upgraded with parts made by Herman Voss, Bill Franke, and me. Nearly 70 bonefish landed and released in fine form.
Under the topic of recommended reading, over the winter I read a particularly fine fly fishing book. It was written by Maine writer, angler and guide Lou Zambello and is entitled, "Flyfishing Northern New England's Seasons." Lou has an understated style that is both enjoyable as well as very credible reading. I found it particularly valuable for trip preparation plans I've been piecing together, although I'm sure some of the technique tips add fun to my local fishing. You can find his website at:
. (BTW, I have no commercial interest in any of Lou's fine efforts.)
You can continue to make orders by sending me email at
or by telephone (814.969.9411). I continue to accept PayPal, personal or business checks, and money orders.
Best Regards and Good Fishing,
Dan Hill

Reviews for Bacon & Tomato-Topped Haddock
"solo puedo describirlo como rico,sabroso y nutritivo.Todo un exito"
"made this for dinner tonight and it came out awesome. made it just as written but added 3 garlic cloves instead of 1 and a little extra lemon juice. everyone ate it up no leftovers! very good. defiantly a keeper. would try this breadcrumb mix on chicken too."
"Made this dish for dinner last night and it was excellent. Made this a written with the exception of adding some Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture. It also makes a nice presentation for company. Will be making again."
"I think this recipe is wonderful just the way it is. The bacon didn't taste overwhelming at all. A great blend between onion,bacon,and garlic!"
"The only modifications I made to this recipe were to halve the topping ingredients since I only had two haddock fillets.This recipe is absolutely delicious. If you are a true fish lover however, this may not be your favorite - the bacon flavor is stronger than the fish flavor. But who doesn't love a little bacon??!!"
"Excellent! Even my son who doesn't like fish said he would eat it again. My store didn't have any haddock, so I replaced it with cod."
Wine Pairings
Light-Bodied White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

When he performs at the 9:30 Club on Feb. 12, Rufus Wainwright says his show "will have a certain freshness to it." It won't be scripted or pre-recorded — in contrast, he adds with a laugh, "to our dear friend Beyoncé during the Inauguration."
The concert is a solo outing for the gay piano-playing pop singer/songwriter. It's not intended to promote anything specific; he already toured last summer with a band, including a stop at Wolf Trap, to push his most recent release, Out Of The Game. Instead, the concert gives fans a more intimate, acoustic, ostensibly wide-ranging concert, with selections from all corners of Wainwright's varied career.

Actually, there's a more personal reason for his solo trek, says Wainwright, who lives part-time in Toronto and part-time in Montauk, N.Y., both with his husband Jorn Weisbrodt. But his 2-year-old biological daughter, Viva Katherine Wainwright Cohen, lives in Los Angeles with her mother, Lorca Cohen, who is Leonard Cohen's daughter. "I see [Viva] as much as I can," explains Wainwright, half-jokingly referring to his solo shows as a way to fundraise for his visits: "I've got to buy a lot of plane tickets."
Wainwright calls the experience of being a father "the most impressive and powerful transfer of energy known to man." Though when asked if he'll have another, he retorts, "I don't know. I'm a pretty busy guy. I feel like a child myself." Yet Wainwright turns 40 this summer. "I can't deny a certain cringe," he concedes over the prospect.
If nothing else, Wainwright is looking forward to coming back to the "fantastic" 9:30 Club and to Washington, at a time when "it finally seems that, in terms of us liberal-minded people, the country is at least attempting to … do something interesting. Maybe the president will come, that'd be really exciting."
When asked what song he'd sing for President Obama, he laughs, "Well, not 'Out of the Game,' that's for sure. I'd write one for him if he comes. On the spot."
Rufus Wainwright appears Tuesday, Feb. 12, at Nightclub 9:30, 815 V St. NW. Doors at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40. Call 202-265-0930 or visit 930.com. Also visit 930.com/friends to sign up for the club's new Friends With Benefits rewards program.

Minutemen Outlast Quinnipiac, 5-4 in 11 innings
March 10, 2002
HAMDEN, Conn. - Senior outfielder Connell Clark (Springfield, Mass.) sprinted home from third base on a wild pitch in the top of the 11th inning to score the game-winning run in a 5-4 victory for the University of Massachusetts baseball team over Quinnipiac here on Sunday afternoon. With the win, UMass moves to 3-2 on the season, while Quinnipiac falls to 0-2.
After UMass opened the scoring with a run in the top of the first on an RBI basehit by junior Chris Morgan (Cranston, R.I.), Quinnipiac plated a single run in each of the next three innings to take a 3-1 lead.
The Minutemen answered in the top of the sixth, as they scored two runs on back-to-back RBI singles by junior Jeff Altieri (Whitinsville, Mass.) and senior Mike Kulak (Bristol, Conn.) with two outs to even the score.
The Braves had a chance to take the lead in the bottom of the sixth as UMass starter Eric Chown (Fall River, Mass.) ran into trouble. Quinnipiac loaded the bases with one out, forcing head coach Mike Stone to bring senior righthander Brian Hourigan (Beacon Falls, Conn.) from the bullpen. Hourigan retired two consecutive batters to get out of the jam.
The game remained tied at 3-3 until Clark capped a two-run UMass rally in the top of the 11th. Quinnipiac tried to bounce back in the bottom of the 11th with a leadoff homerun by Chris Vartuli to make the score 5-4, but junior P..J. Washenko (Orange, Conn.) retired the next three batters to earn his first save of the season.
The Minutemen will return to action on Thursday, March 14, as they make the trip to Fairfield, Conn., for a 3:00 p.m. contest at Sacred Heart.

Marimba virtuoso Clair Omar Musser's influence on playing, teaching, composition, and manufacture has been pervasive. He performed his own arrangements of Chopin, Mendelssohn, Bach, Paganini, and others internationally. His solo compositions and transcriptions and his ensemble arrangements have enjoyed great popularity. Musser's large marimba orchestras were acclaimed throughout the world. He was a teacher of renown, having headed the Northwestern University Marimba Department for ten years and sent many of his students to important positions in playing and teaching. His innovations in grip, mallets, and technique revolutionized marimba and vibraphone playing. An inventor and designer of instruments, he custom-made instruments for many famous performers. In 1948, Musser founded the company that bears his name.

Pictured above is the Marimba-Celeste designed by Musser. It combined a five-octave xylophone-marimba with a two-octave vibraharp. To facilitate playing, the vibe bars were strung in a single row with black oxodized sharp/flat bars. The lower register had pickups that were run into an amplification system connected to the two horns in the front.
