The Cardinal Gibbons School, also referred to as Cardinal Gibbons, CG and most commonly as Gibbons, was a Roman Catholic high school and middle school for boys in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. A private institution for grades 6–12, Gibbons drew its enrollment from the neighborhoods of southwest Baltimore City and the counties surrounding the Baltimore metropolitan area, with some as far away as Harford County, Carroll County and Frederick County.
Named in honor of Baltimore's most distinguished churchman, James Cardinal Gibbons, the school was established in 1962 by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Gibbons occupied the former site of St. Mary's Industrial School, a reform school for boys and the Alma Mater of baseball great George Herman "Babe" Ruth. Following extensive renovations of the old St. Mary's campus in the early 1960s, the Cardinal Gibbons School opened. The school grew to its peak enrollment of just over 1,000 students in the mid-1970s. In 1988, the school expanded its academic programs with the addition of a middle school. The middle school program ceased operation following the 2009 academic school year. Due to economic strains on the Archdiocese, in addition to declining enrollment at Gibbons, it was announced the school would close following the conclusion of the 2009–2010 school year.
Gibbons was a college preparatory middle and high school, with core curriculum courses in literature, religious studies, mathematics, laboratory science, social sciences and history, fine arts, physical education, technology, and foreign language. Gibbons offered a variety of Advanced Placement courses, including joint courses with neighboring all-girls high school, Seton Keough to the south. Gibbons also offered dual enrollment courses in conjunction with the Community College of Baltimore County. All students at Gibbons were held to academic integrity through the use of an honor code.
A long-standing rivalry existed between Cardinal Gibbons and nearby high school Mount Saint Joseph College in the Irvington neighborhood of southwest Baltimore. Due to their close proximity and frequent meetings in playoffs and tournaments in basketball, the rivalry intensified as Gibbons' basketball program established itself as a championship program in the 1970s.[2] The rivalry grew to include other sports and academics as well.
Organizations have been established to make attempts to reopen the school, but the school continues to remain closed. The grounds are not used for academics, although local schools and sport programs have made use of the athletic facilities. In 2012, neighboring St. Agnes Hospital purchased the old Gibbons property and plans to incorporate the old campus into its growing medical facilities.

Saint Mary's Industrial School for Boys (1866–1950)[edit]
Saint Mary's Industrial School for Boys was opened in Baltimore City in 1866 by the Archdiocese of Baltimore.[3] The school served as both an orphanage and boarding school for boys, teaching them life and labor skills. Archbishop Martin Spalding at the time, called for the need of such a school, and enlisted the aid of the Xaverian Brothers to assist in running the school for the Archdiocese. As attendance at the school grew, the large original granite Victorian building was constructed and in use by 1868.[3]
In 1874, the school took on a new role. The school continued to grow and enroll more young boys, fostering and building them into men. The curriculum consisted of academic classes, religious education, sports periods, and work in industrial areas. Some areas of instruction included basket-making, bottle-covering, baking, gardening, tailoring, and farming.[3]
In 1902, a young boy named George Herman Ruth, later known as "the Babe," was enrolled at St. Mary's by his parents.[4] He would become one of St. Mary's most notable alumni, learning the game of baseball at St. Mary's under the tutelage of Brother Matthias. In 1919, a fire destroyed much of the old Victorian styled campus. Alumnus Babe Ruth, who at the time was a member of the New York Yankees, asked to take the St. Mary's School band along on "road trips" to several major league ballparks around the Northeast, in an attempt to raise money to replace the main school building.[5]
The industrial school continued to serve the community, but with declining numbers of pupils and orphans requiring such an environment, the school finally ceased operations in 1950. St. Mary's has become known as "the House that built Ruth."[6] Although much of the original St. Mary's campus was destroyed, one building remains from the original structure of 1866-1868 and another from the reconstruction after the 1919 fire. Both buildings were utilized by the Cardinal Gibbons School.[7] The athletic field that Babe learned to play baseball on was utilized by the Cardinal Gibbons baseball teams from 1962 until closing, affectionately calling their baseball diamond, "Babe Ruth Field."[8]
Cardinal Gibbons High School (1962–1988)[edit]
When Cardinal Gibbons High School opened in September 1962, it was not totally unfamiliar to Baltimore as some new institutions are to their community. On the corner of Wilkens and Caton Avenues, where the large old Victorian styled stone walls of the old Industrial School once were, another Catholic institution was founded and constructed, to succeed St. Mary's Industrial School which had performed almost a century of service for the community of metropolitan Baltimore.
In 1959, then Archbishop Francis Keough chose the ground of the vacant St. Mary's buildings for a new diocesan high school campus, with room for athletic fields and religious community housing. A considerable construction and renovation project ensued, utilizing buildings from the original and rebuilt St. Mary's campuses along with new buildings for the school. Archbishop Keough contacted the Marianists, who had previously taught at several local grammar schools in the diocese. The Marianists agreed to return to Baltimore and take charge of the new high school. Brother Matthew Betz, S.M., was appointed the first principal of the new school.
In September 1962, the school was operating with a working faculty of nine, including a secretary, janitor, and 150 freshmen. On September 8, 1963, the Archbishop Lawrence Cardinal Shehan presided over the sealing of the main building's cornerstone and the dedication of the new school to Baltimore's and America's most distinguished churchman at the turn of the century, James Cardinal Gibbons, the former ninth Archbishop of Baltimore.
Over the years, the Cardinal Gibbons High School continued to grow and develop. By the 1968–1969 school year, the "Crusaders" made sports headlines with the championship play of both the varsity basketball and baseball teams. Coach O. Ray Mullis established a Maryland Scholastic Association and later a Baltimore Catholic League basketball dynasty at Gibbons over the next decade. Gibbons would go on to make a name for itself as a powerhouse for academics and athletics in the southwest Baltimore region.
The Cardinal Gibbons School (1988–2010)[edit]
In 1988, the Cardinal Gibbons School added a Middle School Program, enrolling students in grades 6 through 8. Formerly known as Cardinal Gibbons High School, the school adopted its final name, the Cardinal Gibbons School. In 2001, the Cardinal Gibbons School switched to the President-Principal model, naming Brother Kevin Strong, F.S.C. the first President of the school. That year, the school also joined the LaSallian Network of Schools.
The middle school program continued successfully until the end of the 2009 school year. The middle school graduated its last eighth grade class the following year. Due to decreased enrollment and financial strains on both the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the surrounding communities, Gibbons headed toward closing its doors.
School Closing[edit]
On March 3, 2010, the Archdiocese of Baltimore announced it would close Gibbons at the end of the 2009–2010 school year, as part of a broader consolidation of twelve other Baltimore parochial schools in the face of declining enrollment and reports of Archdiocesan financial losses.[7] Members of the Cardinal Gibbons board, alumni, students and staff expressed distress at the decision and, in April, explored possible ways to buy the property and continue the school independently, but were ultimately unsuccessful. Linda Ruth Tosetti, Babe Ruth's granddaughter, lamented the possible loss of another of the places important in her grandfather's history, on the heels of the recent razing and replacement of the old Yankee Stadium in 2009, affectionately known as the "House that Ruth Built".[5]
At present, the school still sits vacant, with its athletic facilities being utilized by schools in the area. In response to the closing, alumni and supporters of Gibbons formed Gibbons Educational Services (G.E.S.), a non-profit organization devoted to fostering the memory of the school.[9] In March 2012, it was announced that next door St. Agnes Hospital reached an agreement with the Archdiocese to purchase the property. Currently, St. Agnes is beginning the planning phases for how it will utilize the property.[10] Works are also underway to preserve the baseball field, given its significance to Baltimore and American baseball history.
Babe Ruth Field[edit]
Babe Ruth Field was home to the Cardinal Gibbons baseball team. Located on the site of the same grounds of the field that young George Herman Ruth learned to play the game on, the field was home to a storied and successful baseball program for over a century. Ruth Field was unique in its shape, with center field reaching to 442 feet. During the St. Mary's Industrial School era, home plate was in the present day outfield. According to local legend, while a student, young George Ruth hit a home run from there to Caton Avenue to the west, almost a 600-foot home run. The field was the center of the campus, and is still visible from Caton Avenue.
Fine Arts Building[edit]
As the only building to survive the fire of 1919 on campus, the Fine Arts building was part of the original structure of the old St. Mary's Industrial School. It was constructed during opening of St. Mary's.[11] In this building, Babe Ruth spent time working on the various trade and industrial requirements where he especially excelled at the trade of tailoring for the St. Mary's curriculum. Before closing, this building housed Cardinal Gibbons' fine arts classrooms for art and music, and student activities center, and the Justin Fisher Memorial weightroom in the bottom level.
"The Grotto"[edit]
"The Grotto" was an area on the Cardinal Gibbons campus that held special meaning to alumni and the Gibbons community. In 1968, a plane crashed in the mountains of western Maryland. Three students and one teacher perished in the crash, Mike Slovatinek, Mark Mitchell, Paul Deminnis, and Brother Ben Borchers, respectively. All four were part of the Cardinal Gibbons School flying club, and were returning from a trip to Ohio to visit the United States Air Force Museum in Dayton.[12] In "The Grotto" was a statue of Mary and a plaque adorning the statue with the names of those lost in the crash. The statue was relocated from "The Grotto" to St. Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Elkridge, Maryland.
The school required 28 credits to graduate, 15 hours of community service per year, and mandatory attendance in the school's campus ministry program, including retreats and service opportunities. The school, in joint partnership with the neighboring all-girls Seton Keough High School shared special classes between the two high schools. Gibbons also offered dual enrollment courses with the Community College of Baltimore County.
Extracurricular Activities[edit]
While many Gibbons teams achieved success and won championships in their respective sports, perhaps the most notable success was that of the basketball program. For over 31 years, Gibbons basketball was led by local coaching legend, O. Ray Mullis. During his tenure as coach, Mullis and the Gibbons basketball program amassed over 600 career victories and 31 league or tournament championships, including a record 6 Baltimore Catholic League championships.

In 2009, Cardinal Gibbons formed a Cricket Club, the first of its kind in any high school in the state of Maryland, to regularly play and compete in the English national sport.[26][27] A travel team would go on to play several youth teams in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area.[28][29] The director of the Gibbons cricket program, Jamie Harrison, would go on to found the United States Youth Cricket Association.[30][31]

your teacher was probably having a bad day and he ended up taking out his anger on you. plus, the way he reacted shows his ignorance, doesn't it?
just consider it a one-time incident and forget about it.
if its any consolation, my religion is in such a minority that we dont have a national holiday in most countries.
take indygirl's advice and cheer up.

Photo Details
Phyllis Jean Branson, b. 19 August 1944, Rico, Colorado. Phyllis was born 3 months premature, at home, weighing a mere 2 pounds. Allie Baer, the mining company nurse lived across the street from us; would come 4 times a day & rub Phyllis in Olive Oil, wrap her in a cloth diaper & place her in a shoe box. Her incubator was the open oven door of the coal stove that mother, Mavis (Gaddis) Branson cooked on. The Lord loaned this precious daughter/sister to us for almost 20 years. Phyllis died 20 March 1963, Durango, Colorado.

The interpretation of otherwise inaccessible makes my head hurt. In the test case _as_written_, A and B are accessible only via C, as there are no references to A and B except for the ones in the (LIST A B) call. Hence, "otherwise inaccessible". ...but I can (now again, as I presumably did when I wrote the test) *also* see how lists A and B can be considered otherwise accessible as well: they are bound to lexical variables which just "accidentally" are accessed only in the constructor for C -- but could be accessed anywhere. *argh* I'll spend some more time with this tomorrow to see if I can come up with something fiendishly clever to sidestep this.

I would like to learn Yiddish in order to further my understanding of Chassidus and other Torah topics that are presented in Yiddish. What are your suggestions for sources to use that would focus on the type of Yiddish I would expect to find in those places? Books, online and interactive programs are all helpful.

You might start with yiddishpop.com.
If you want to learn the Lubavitcher Rebbe's sichos in Yiddish, a program that presupposes very little Yiddish knowledge is Back 2 Basics Sichos. Some of the content seems to be available for free here.
There is a Yiddish translation of the Chumash written in very clear, everyday (not lomdish) language by Yehoyesh (Yehoash). A free version is here: http://yiddish.haifa.ac.il/texts/yehoyesh/tanList.htm. There is also an app here that lets you interact with the text and look up words.
I can't recommend a Yiddish textbook for beginners, except to say that Weinreich's College Yiddish is considered the standard beginners' text, and Chaim Werdyger's Yiddish in 10 Lessons looks quite good to me. Thereafter, I would recommend using Sheva Zucker's textbooks for intermediates, and finally Mordkhe Shaechter's Yiddish II for advanced students.
Once you can speak competently, you might be interested in attending the Yiddish Vokh, in Copake, NY, for practice. (It's one week at the end of the summer.)
As for learning formally: I can't give you great advice on how to learn Yiddish for religious purposes, except to say that a lot of yeshivas produce musmachim who can speak Yiddish and use it religiously. Also, Yiddish Farm (mentioned below) occasionally offers programs with a religious-Yiddish focus.
If you are serious about learning standard spoken and written Yiddish for general purposes, there are a lot of programs around the world in which to do so. The Workmen's Circle as well as significant numbers of universities provide Yiddish classes year-round. The Yiddish Farm in Goshen, NY offers live-in programs from a weekend to a year in length. There are Yiddish summer programs in New York, Israel, France, and Lithuania, among others. A very good summer program in New York is offered at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
Well, seeing that no-one else has answered so far... I don't know about Hassidic Yiddish specifically but the standard textbook for learning Yiddish is Weinreich's "College Yiddish".
I'm sure there are many helpful resources online; I would start with YIVO and WikiBooks. Once you've got some basics and you want to practice, you can check out Der Forvetz, and even Hasidic Yiddish Twitter and Facebook! There's another list of more online Yiddish gathering places here.
Hope this helps! Zei gezunt and zol zayn mit mazl!
Try and learn a new word everyday-use it in a sentence.
For the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Sichos, they have a booklet of Yiddish-Hebrew translations. It's called the LSD. Likutei Sichot Dictionary.
http://merkazstam.com/index.php/likkutei-sichos-dictionary-new-edition.html out of stock
In Israel: http://www.chish.co.il/product.asp?productid=15
They might have it at that place on Rehov Yishayahu, I forget the name.
you might find this sheet helpful they pass it around the Mir yeshiva for guys who dont know yiddish the pronunciations are in litveshe' havarah though...
Shaloym-Aleichem, Dude!
You can learn Yiddish online! I did, and my Yiddish is tried and true with people who learned in a yeshiva. Go to these websites:
www.yiddishacademy.com (They have a free PDF book!)

I have a client asking me to upgrade her WordPress. I found she is currently at 3.0.4 and the automatic installer wants to install 3.2.1. The host of this website will not upgrade to PHP 5.2.4 or MySQL version 5.0 or higher. They've explained that there are too many people on these servers that would gain too many problems if the upgrade was done. So, now I am stuck.
Is there an automatic installer that will take us laggers up to the last update of WP before you all jumped to the PHP and MySQL change over? If I could find that version of WP, I believe that would be 3.1.3, I could manually install except that this will screw up any further automatic installs that could be done in the future. It would be great if you added one more button to the Update panel that was for automatic install up to that change.
If this is not possible, how can I get a copy of 3.1.x?
Thank you for your response.

Bo Obama Is Playing Coy to Get With the Press
They're literally eating out of his hand. Gross.
He popped into the media cabin of Air Force One to shake his tail a bit, but he didn't answer questions. This merited two paragraphs in the Washington Post. And suddenly, there's hope that the coverage of Obama's vacation on Martha's Vineyard won't be boring after all. [Washington Post]

John Kerry: First White, Male Secretary of State in 16 Years
If confirmed as expected, John Kerry will be the first white male U.S. Secretary of State in about 16 years. So what, if anything, does that mean?

For the first time in almost a decade, members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee were using the term, "mister," to address a prospective Secretary of State.

And at least online, it's been causing buzz.

Jezebel.com - a website aimed at women - recently posted a piece asking satirically, "Is America Ready for a White, Male Secretary of State?"

After all, the last time a white male had the job was 1997. The Secretary of State was Warren Christopher.

The jokes mean something, says Professor Robert Thompson speaking via Skype. "These types of jokes, these kinds of questions, are an indication of a lot of little things but one of them is where we would like to be compared to where we are now," he stated.

John Kerry

Born December 11, 1943, in Colorado

Earned bachelor's degree at Yale, law degree at Boston College

Massachusetts lieutenant governor from 1983-1985

Has been a U.S. senator since 1985

Democratic candidate for president in 2004

Married to Teresa Heinz

Years of diplomatic leadership from Madeleine Albright ... Colin Powell ... Condoleezza Rice ... and Hillary Clinton have left a mark.

Daniel Serwer, with the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, says the impact is subtle, but real nonetheless. "Frankly, it encourages more staff who are black, who are women and that certainly has been a dramatic impact in the 16 years in the State Department," Serwer said.

None of that seemed to be on the minds of senators at Thursday's confirmation hearing -- like long-time Kerry friend John McCain, who praised Kerry's "personal qualities."

So, does it matter what the top U.S. diplomat looks like? Whether it's a man or a woman? Whether he wears pants or she wears a skirt? Maybe not.

In the end, it comes down to being tough, says George Mason University Professor Toni-Michelle Travis via Skype. "I think Kerry brings that a certain experience," she said. "A a certain aggressiveness that says we're not weak in any way."

Something that -- in U.S. diplomatic circles -- no longer appears to be relegated to white males.

Senator John Kerry emerges after a unanimous vote by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approving him to become America's next top diplomat, January 29, 2013.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry arrives on Capitol Hill for the start of his confirmation hearing to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, January 24, 2013.

John Kerry sits before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he has served on for 28 years and led for the past four as he seeks confirmation as U.S. secretary of state, January 24, 2013.

John Kerry waves as he walks to the podium to address the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 6, 2012.

Barack Obama works the crowd during his first presidential campaign with John Kerry, during a rally at the College of Charleston campus in South Carolina, where Kerry endorsed Mr. Obama, January 10, 2008.

Then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry points toward the audience beside his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry after the presidential debate in Tempe, Arizona, October 13, 2004.

Then President George W. Bush and John Kerry greet each other at the end of their first presidential debate at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, September 30, 2004.

John Kerry windsurfs off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts when he was the Democratic presidential candidate, August 30, 2004.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry along with his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry greet supporters during a fundraiser when he was the Democratic presidential candidate in Boston, Massachusetts, 2003.

Senator John Kerry is swarmed by supporters as he arrives for a re-election victory rally in Boston, Massachusetts, November 5, 1996.

John Kerry raises his arms in victory in this November 6, 1984 photo in a Boston hotel where he celebrated his defeat over Ray Shamie, in the Senate race.

I've never cared about fashion; I wear what's clean and what's comfortable. Once I wore the same pair of jeans for about a week; jeans can go ages without having to be washed, as long as you don't get anything on them. Shirts, I usually toss those in the laundry basket after I wear them for a day.
I've got three pairs of jeans I actually LIKE, so I gotta make due with my favorite pair. XD
People who are like me!!!
I wear baggy tees and comfy sweatpants and jeans. I comb my hair, then leave it...
All tht stuff.
I never cared for fashion, just being me. ^^
I wear my own fashion -
o.o I only have 3 outfits that are black so I have to reuse them a lot...
And I'm just... - -"
I wear what I like. Doesn't matter where it's from; Camden Market, speciallist shops, charity shops, high street shops; if I like it, I'll buy it and wear it. Fashion is limiting.
Extremely! I see it, i want it, i check my wallet, and buy. Simple as that...
I like simple! ^.^
I am actually huge fan of fashion. But I usually just wear what I am comfortable in. I cant stand people who only buy "cool" clothes because then after a while everyone has the same clothes
I'm sorry.
But I just can't do that. Don't think I'm to self-consciouse or scared to do that, it's just not my thing!
I pride myself in my fashion sense, and strut my stuff in anything I wear!
But I like to look good.
People look up to me for fashion advice, they wear the outfits I do, it's just one of my talents!
No, I'm not saying I'm "Super fabulous and everyone wants to be like me". I just wear what I love, when I want to wear it, and don't wear the same thing I wore yesterday (though I used to XD)
So, yeah.
I have to disagree with what some people have posted.
Think about it this way. Before you have ever opened your mouth to say hello or smiled, people have already made a decision about you based on what you dress. If you look sloppy and gross, people may think you are lazy and don't care. But, if you are well put together, people may think you are competent and know what you are doing. This may not be true, but first impressions can actually stick with someone for awhile. This is especially true if you are going somewhere for a job interview.
Just my opinion though. No one can force you to wear anything you don't want to. :)
I have quite a unique style when it comes to fashion, I like wearing my black and white striped dress with bright coloured ankle tights with matching accessories and my short short overalls with black tights with a black and rainbow patterned ****tube with a cascade of rainbow bangles that sparkle. ^_^
I got a reputation for being a fashionista at work since I always wear my grey pinafore dress with cute black suspenders and with a chunky belt at the waist. :) Fashion is so much fun when you get creative!
I love baggy shirts and sweats at home on a snow day. I don't do anything with my hair, and I sit around and be a lazy bum.
But during the week, I style my hair daily, put on a nice pair of jeans and a tee, and shoes.
I don't have outfits. I like jeans and a t-shirt. I'm simple, but cute.
Ugh...but sometimes I'm tempted to wear sweats and a shirt that is too huge and doesn't match, old shoes, and go to school with messy hair, so everyone will stop flirting. Gah. That's the bad thing about fashion.

I am looking for a universal dock of some kind that will allow me to connect my desktop, Windows Laptop, and Mac Laptop (not at the same time). The dock should allow for the support of at least three monitors, keyboard, and mouse. A nice to have feature would be the ability to easily switch between each device.
What are those called? Where should I start? If you already know of one that works, please list it in your answer.

Hey I am very new to python but I am trying to make a simple registration system. I would like to be able to have a function update when I add a member but I cannot figure out how. As you will see in the code below, once I am finished adding a member in menu option 2, when I go back and try menu option 1 the member I have just added does not show up. How do I make the show_members function reload the updated dictionary?
In addition to my above question, any advice on ways to improve the below code would be welcome. And yes I know that it is very incomplete but it is a WIP.
import sys
import shutil
import os
tmp = os.path.isfile("members.py.tmp")
if tmp == True:
shutil.copyfile("members.py", "members.py.tmp")
from members import members
def show_menu():
print "\n","*" * 12, "MENU", "*" * 12
print "1. List members"
print "2. Add member"
print "3. Delete member"
print "99. Save"
print "0. Abort"
print "*" * 28, "\n"
return input("Please make a selection: ")
def show_members(members):
for keys in members.keys():
print "\nNames", " ", "Code"
print keys, " - ", members[keys]
def add_member(members):
name = raw_input("Please enter name: ")
code = raw_input("Please enter code: ")
members[name] = code
return members
#with open("foo.txt", "a") as f:
# f.write("new line\n")
running = 1
while running:
selection = show_menu()
if selection == 1:
print "\n> " ,raw_input("Press enter to continue")
elif selection == 2:
print "\n> " ,raw_input("Press enter to continue")

shutil.copyfile("members.py.tmp", "members.py")
elif selection == 0:
sys.exit("Program Aborted")
print "That is not a valid option!"

Engineer of Human Souls (Paperback)
"The Engineer of Human Souls" is a labyrinthine comic novel that investigates the journey and plight of novelist Danny Smiricky, a Czech immigrant to Canada. As the novel begins, he is a professor of American literature at a college in Toronto. Out of touch with his young students, and hounded by the Czech secret police, Danny is let loose to roam between past and present, adopting whatever identity that he chooses or has been imposed upon him by History. As adventuresome, episodic, bawdy, comic, and literary as any novel written in the past twenty-five years, "The Engineer of Human Souls" is worthy of the subtitle Skvorecky gave it: "An Entertainment on the Old Themes of Life, Women, Fate, Dreams, The Working Class, Secret Agents, Love and Death.
About the Author
Josef Skvorecky is the author of "The Cowards," "The Bass Saxophone," "The Engineer of Human Souls," and "Dvorak in Love," among other works. He is the winner of Canada's Governor General's Award. He and his wife, Zdena, divide their time between Toronto and Venice, Florida.

Is herpangina contagious?
Coxsackievirus infections are extremely contagious and can easily pass from child to child through contaminated surfaces, unwashed hands, and through sneezing and coughing. Typically, people infected with the virus are most contagious during the first week of illness.
How long is the incubation period for herpangina?
The normal course of the infection involves an incubation period, which is generally an asymptomatic period, lasting anywhere from one to two weeks.
What are herpangina symptoms and signs?
Typically children with herpangina have the following:
- Fever
- Sore throat
- Small blisters and ulcers may cover the soft palate, uvula, tonsils, and posterior pharynx. The rest of the mouth is normal in appearance. These blisters can last for up to a week.
- Enlarged lymph nodes along the neck (lymphadenopathy)
- Rash may or may not be present.
How is herpangina diagnosed?
Since herpangina is a clinical diagnosis, and the illness is self-limited, there is no real reason to perform any laboratory studies. Some children (hospitalized or immune-compromised for example) may have viral studies performed on specimens from the nose or throat. Isolating virus from these samples takes a long time and generally symptoms will be resolved long before the identification of the virus is available. Antibodies to coxsackievirus may also be measured if desired but is generally unnecessary.
What is the treatment for herpangina?
Treatment is supportive, just like for most viruses. Fever and pain control with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) is generally the primary treatment. It is important to keep children well hydrated as well, and often young children will be resistant to drinking or eating. The aptly named "magic mouthwash" is an alternative treatment used to control the mouth pain associated with herpangina. There are various recipes, but most include a topical pain medication such as viscous lidocaine as well as some sort of additional liquids which function as a barrier. A child's health-care provider might prescribe one of these. It is important to remember that these types of medications should always be used as directed by a provider, since some of the components may have serious side effects if given in too high a concentration. Remember that since herpangina is caused by a virus, antibiotics have no role in the treatment, nor do any antiviral medications currently available.

I invested $50,000 with a company who was flipping properties and shortly thereafter all real estate transactions died. Can I put liens on them (business owners) to secure my money. They said they would pay but not sure when. What if one of them dies? One of the owners already had a heart attack.
Personal Injury Lawyer
You should retain an attorney. You cannot file a lien without a judgment. You will need to file a lawsuit to get a judgment. For this amount of money, a lawyer should be used. You should be able to find someone to handle it on a contingency basis.
Business Attorney
Although you cannot obtain a lien without a judgment, you may be able to obtian a prejudgment "writ of attachment." This remedy does require you to hire an attorney. A writ of attachment works much like a lien. It is available only in certain contract actions where the amount in dispute is reasonably calculable and the plaintiff can demonstrate likely success. Lawsuits often quickly settle when a plaintiff obtains a writ of attachment. Your matter appears to be the type of action that would permit a prejudgment writ of attachment.

The scenery around the town of Yangshuo is famous throughout China if not the world
This is the view from the TV Hill in Yangshuo
The weather was really bad - nevertheless, the natural beauty of the region is still evident
Riding a bicycle through the countryside around Yangshuo is an unforgetable experience
The view from the top of the Moonhill (that's me in 2007!)
A view from the top of yet another hill...
Lijiang - that's Chinese for "River of Beauty". A beautiful place indeed!
Very few people are still fishing using traditional ways
A traditional Chinese village on the banks of the river
More nice rides around the Yangshuo countryside
Some traditional picturesque houses still exist
With the Yangshuo hills in the background
The friendly house owner who had been living there for over 40 years!
Surprisingly there were more traditional villages around Yangshuo
Really nice against the green backdrop
And some more gorgeous scenery
The up and coming town of Xingping, with a pretty traditional street and some excellent mountain views nearby
Beautiful old wooden houses
Some orchards at the backs of the local houses
Great views from the top of Xingping hill
The spectacular Longji rice terraces. This photo is from Jinkeng where the teraces have been cultivated over the years by the Yao people
Beautiful wooden houses by the terraces
Many of the Yao people still were their traditional clothes during everyday life
Working the fields is no doubt a hard work
Growing mushrooms!
Yao girls out for a team work in Big Dazhai village
The rice terraces in Jinkeng, nearby the town of Longsheng. Another truly spectacular sight, this time a man-made marvel
A traditional wooden house built by the Yao people
I wonder if these are cherry trees. Does anyone know for sure?
Start of the excellent day hike from Jinkeng to Ping'an and I am accompanied by Yao girls out on a field day
Along the trail
Visiting the villages along the way
A small, scenic waterfall
Getting nearer to Ping'an
With this great panorama opening up
Ping'an village was quite touristy, but the vistas were still excellent! I decided to continue on wards and spend the night in the next village
Another trademark wooden structure, this time a pretty bridge over the stream
Old Zhuang Longji village, a great place to spend the night
View of the wooden houses, rice terraces and mountains in the background was truly breathtaking
The Zhuang people who live on this side of the mountains. They were able to construct elaborate terraces and just as pretty houses
On the way to a funeral. The passing away of an 80 years old Yao man was marked by a fiesta attended by hundreds of people - visiting was quite an unusual experience! An interesting difference from funerals in the West...
Zhuang people crossing the river back towards the main road. I wonder where they were coming from?
Notice the young girl in the basket...
Already in Chengyang where it is possible to visit the pretty rain and wind bridge
The bridge was completed in 1912 by the Dong people, and is justifiably considered a local pride
And some more pretty bridges
The countryside nearby is enticing as well with plenty of traditional wooden houses
A dong water wheel, still in use for irrigation
Great views of the village and the bridge from a nearby hilltop

Takes forever
By Djs434
from San Diego, CA, United States
Comments about LG 4.2 Cu. Ft. Electric Condenser Dryer - White:
We have this dryer in a rental property. Can't just wash and dry the sheets between tenants. Two sets of sheets and a few towels and I've been sitting here for 3 hours. Second load is no where near dry. The sheets just roll up inside of themselves or each other. This is ridiculous. I feel as though I should apologize to anyone who rents this unit.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Awful Dryer
By DMauHolmes
from Oakland, CA, United States
I don't understand why people are rating this dryer at 4 stars when it takes them 2 hours to dry one load. This dryer cannot dry an entire load, we have had to break our washing loads into very small batches and even then it takes forever to dry. 3 hours to dry 3 towels, 1.5 hours to dry 1 fitted sheet and 2 pillow cases (not even the entire sheet set)... it's ridiculous!
Great for our condo
By texasmomof4
from Bryan, TX
Just love this dryer. Plays a cute tune when it is finished drying. Clothes smell really good and are fluffy, and I didn't even use fabric softener. (Does take longer to dry than a regular dryer). I've owned other brands, but this LG is my favorite.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

really good dryer
By sarah415
While it can take a while, it is a really good dryer. I have it stacked on the washer and it is great for a small apartment.
Good Dryer
By HFNYC
I like this dryer very much. It works very well, is a good size for apartment living and is very quiet while operating. I've had it for over a month now and purchased it with the matching stackable washer #1377. My only issue is that the drying cycles tend to be quite long and there isn't an option for setting a specific amount of time for a cycle (at least not that I've learned of...it's possible such an option exists). Still, overall, it's a very good machine.
Very Nice
By Jw
from TN
I like the size and features, but it does take a long time to dry clothes and I have the hose to drain the water. I would like to see the temperature settings available on all cycles instead of preset. It takes 2 hours to dry a cotton cycle that is very long. The no vent system is good stops dust from accumulating behind the dryer. I think lg should send a dvd with washer and dryer and show how to use them instead of having to read some many pages. Show tips and shortcuts.
By ClothesHorse
from Redmond, OR 97756, USA
I LOVE my HE dryer from LG. Actually, I have a matching washer, and I love both of them. Trust me, the front loading dryers are so much better than the top-loading ones, like the one I previously had. It runs quietly, and I've never had any problems with it. It has great features, but it is not overwhelming or complicated to use. It's user-friendly design allows for quick start. Anyway, the only negative I have is that I stacked my W/D to save space, and the dryer vibrates a tad bit. LOVE IT!
This dryer makes me happy
By waspokey73
from Fairfax, VA, USA
I have owned my town home for 6 years, and I have a huge laundry room that is great, but NO VENT. Having a dryer that cannot vent to the outside is awful. No matter what you do, you will have lint covering every surface. Also, considering my gas water heater is in the same room, I felt it to be a fire hazard. Eventually I stopped using the dryer except for very rare occasions and just hung things to dry. Then I heard of Condensation Dryers and thought my prayers would be answered AND they were. I LOVE this dryer. I wish it was bigger, but I know most people that don't have venting to the outside typically have less space than I do. I have seen some people complain that it takes too long to dry things with a Condensation Dryer. I haven't seen that at all. When the cycle is through all of my clothes are dry.

"IN THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS" Bowral by balhannah
Bowral Travel Guide: 46 reviews and 213 photos
The name Bowral was derived from Bowrel, which was the Aboriginal name given to the area. Bowrel is thought to have meant "large" or "high", referring to Mt Gibraltar, the nearby Mountain which has quite a few excellent lookouts.
Once the railway line had been completed, Bowral soon became a summer holiday retreat for many wealthy Sydney residents. These Sydneysiders had come to the area to not only get away from Sydney, but due the Southern Highlands' cooler climate, to escape the often scorching and humid Sydney summers.
Left behind are magnificent mansions and spacious gardens containing many European deciduous and evergreen trees, exotic plants and flowering annuals.
This area is a "gardeners delight," my only wish is that more of the private homes would open up their gardens for the public to view.
With the Southern Highlands having very distinct seasons, the best time to visit Bowral would be during either autumn or spring.
During autumn, the trees explode with bright reds and oranges, and the air is crisp, nice to sit around the wood fire in the evenings.
Spring, and the area is in full bloom with springtime annuals such as the popular tulip, and many of the local gardens become open to the Public, including one of the most esteemed gardens in the world, the famous Milton Park.
This area is beautiful in Spring, and this year (2009) I had the chance to visit many of the open gardens in the area.
Bowral is also of interest to Cricketing fans who would remember it for where Sir Donald Bradman lived as a child for a short time.
The Bradman Museum of Cricket is located next to Bradman oval.
Located in the pretty Southern Highlands, 126kms from Sydney, Bowral and the surrounding towns are worth a visit or a longer stay.
On these pages, I have included the nearby towns of .........
........as they are all in close proximity to Bowral.
- Pros:Beautiful Mansions and gardens
- In a nutshell:I love this pretty area and the changes of the seasons

Love the gardens here. Thanks for the tour!
Hi Dee, very beautiful photos, and nice guide.
What magnificent flowers, Dee. I would love to see that Gift Shop church in Berrima. It's an area I have yet to explore.
Gardens are a favourite thing for me but tulips in our Autumn would be a strange thing!
Dee, your photographs are breathtakingly beautiful [especially since I live so far north in Illinois and am tired of snow!]. As I love gardens, I found this page quite interesting and informative. Thanks!
Beautiful setting for tourist info!
YOU all have such wonderful color this time of the year, and the gardens beyond comparison. I was reading about the cane toads and fruit bats taking over in the north and coming your way? Don't you wish you lived in this place for the beauty?
Wow, so many lovely gardens in these area!! and good job of documenting them!
tulip time is lovely - we had friends who lived in Mary McKillop's house
Some really splendid gardens here. Nice photos. I had to shift my mind to tulips in Sept. Is that upside down? ;-))
