The memories we mentally record can be a lifetime recalled but lost in an instant. The mind can play tricks on us stealing vital nuggets of information much like holding it hostage. Perhaps that's why photographs are one of the most valued objects in our search to glimpse into the lives of our ancestors.
If we are lucky, photography has captured many of our family members from birth through death. Much like a whispered story, photographs depict a life that might otherwise have been a mystery. While we may find some of these valued objects among family treasures there are likely additional family members who remain faceless.
Lost family photographs can occur through various reasons. In my family, many losses were due to a house fire and an unknowing relative clearing out the clutter. But no matter the occurrence, once the photographs are gone it's a piece of the puzzle we desperately strive to solve.
Here are a few tips to get you on the way to rebuilding a family photograph collection.
Look to family.
Setup a private family photo site for family members to scan, share & swap family photos and the stories behind them. Two free user friendly sites I enjoy are Walgreens and Shutterfly. And best of all, both sites offer specials for prints.
Look locally.
Antique dealers & Flea market sellers obtain their resell goods through estate sells and auctions. The cost of retrieving can very but I love a lazy, sunny day rummaging and bartering.
Look regionally.
Newspaperscan be a valuable photo source and other tidbits of information. With today's digital microfilm printers you can save a quality photograph onto your flashdrive in a snap.
Clubs, organizations, and business directories often photograph their members. Look for existing groups or check nearby historical societies. Not only may you find photographs, you may uncover further information to add to the family tree.
Government entitiesmay have documented family members from court dealings to registrations. Each government has its own rules of privacy so call ahead before a visit.
Look virtually.
Cyndi at Cyndyi's List has a long listing of websites dedicated to reuniting photographs with their families. Cyndy's List is a free, one woman show of links regarding genealogy. You'll want to visit often so feel free to drop her some gratitude.
Look for alternatives.
Some family members may have not been photographed due to the time period or an economic situation. Saving headstones and paper documents into photographic formats such as TIF and JPG are a great option to include them into family trees and photo books.
Phew, now if this helps you solve a pictureless situation come back and post a comment. I'd love to hear about your photographic problem creativity!
Just leaf'n through life,

Dress into Harajuku Style in 8 Easy StepsDec 18
"You Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style" – Gwen Stefani
The term "Harajuku" was made world-known because of Gwen Stefani, but not many of us know what Harajuku actually means. This article is going to give you an insight as to where Harajuku comes from, and the do's and the don'ts when dressing in true Harajuku fashion.
Harajuku Shopping District, Tokyo. This is where it all began, and this is where it all goes down. The Shopping District "Harajuku" is located between Shinjuku and Shibuya, and is most definitely a must-see when visiting Japan, mostly because of the amazing street fashion that can be seen here. Omotesand? and Takeshita Street(Takeshita-d?ri) are two names that you would be wise to remember – these are the two main shopping streets in this area. Harajuku is a fashion style that's hard to characterize, because it's constantly changing. If you want to be part of the Harajuku Girls (or Guys) you need to keep yourself frequently updated. Of course there are some basic rules or fashion statements that are universal and never change.
These are the 8 easy steps you can follow in order to dress Harajuku, and who knows, maybe you'll get accepted in Gwen Stefani's entourage.
Step 1. Mix and (mis)match different fashions.
Once upon a time in Japan, teens started to combine the traditional Japanese attire – kimonos, getas and what not – with their "everyday" clothes, meaning western-inspired garments. Mixing traditional and modern fashion in the end created a new fashion style. Yup, you guessed correctly – Harajuku.
Step 2. Become familiar with variations of style in the Harajuku district.
There are different styles in Harajuku, so be sure to check out the different styles if you want to find something that appeals to you. Here are a few examples.
Gothic Lolita is a fashion that involves wearing gothic, feminine, and elegant clothes to the extent that you look like a living Victorian Doll. Please note that there are a ton of different subgenres in the Lolita Fashion, e.g. Punk Lolita, White Lolita, Black Lolita and Country Lolita. Find out what kind of doll you want to resemble.
Cosplay entails dressing up as your favourite anime or game characters, which can be quite the adventure.
Decora style favours bright colours, flamboyance, and accessories from head to toe. Decorate yourself with plastic toys and jewellery and you're well on your way to dress Decora. If you hear a – click click- when you move, then that means you're doing something right. It's not uncommon to have so many plastic toys and such on you that you can hear them click together whenever the person moves. So get clicking!
Visual Kei usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, and sometimes all this is coupled with androgynous appearances.
Step 3. Layers people, layers!
Should not be necessary to tell you that the fashion-industry loves layering, and just because Harajuku is a crazy-wild fashion to some, it doesn't mean they hate layering either.
Step 4. Customize your clothes.
Second-hand clothing and do-it-yourself styles are popular ingredients in a Harajuku outfit. If you're not a total dork at sewing, you could make your own clothes. Unfortunately that option has been permanently terminated for some (most) of us.
Step 5. Accessorize.
Add any wild accessories you have, such as belts, earrings, hair clips, jewellery, and handbags. Remember, make them click!
Step 6. Go nuts with your hair and make-up.
Pigtails (remember those?) and other "cute" hairstyles are particularly popular, so is dying your hair in vibrant colours. Creative, even theatrical makeup can be a fun addition.
Step 7. Wear whatever looks good to you.
If you think mismatched rainbow and polka-dot leggings look good with a plaid dress, go for it!
Step 8. Smile
Smile and pose for the camera in true Japanese style. Please remember the hand sign "V" for victory, we're all very familiar with that one. If you aren't, then get started.
Final note:
Don't just throw things together, put some thought into it. If you follow these 8 steps, then you should have no problem putting together a Harajuku set that appeals solely to you, and remember, this style is not exclusive for girls – guys can do it too! I can almost feel the delight radiating towards me =_='. High heels aren't entirely banned either, for both sexes, so work on your runway skills boys!

text: Omnicom has made quite a recovery over the past few days. It is up more than 10% from the recent lows. This is good for the sentiments because the stock had corrected by more than 14% after the earnings. This was surprising as the earnings were better than expected. There was good growth in emerging markets which helped the company post marginal growth in revenues and net income. Importantly, the operating margins also expanded slightly. The stock may take a breather and correct a bit. This is indicated by the fact that the recent upward movement has not been supported by volumes. In any case, the stock is not far away from the 52 week high of $70.50, and that may be another major hurdle to cross. The stock is up 22% on a 52 week basis and is 45% above its 52 week low made in November. An article on SA had recently expressed confidence in the future prospects of the company, stating that it is likely to benefit from the rising demand for digital marketing. There are expected synergies from the merger with Publicis, and the company will become a leading media and communication company in the world. The enhanced digital capabilities will help it adapt to changing times, and improve its customer service. Expansion in Asian and Latin American markets will help the company improve its earnings per share even in the current year. There are also some negatives of the merger as Omnicom and Publicis serve rival customers, which may lead to loss of big accounts. Further, competition in the advertising industry is fragmented and companies need to adapt continuously to the changing landscape. IZEA (IZEA), a company in the social media sponsorship / native ads space, recently published results of a survey indicating the changed dynamics of online advertising. The exact impact of the merger will be known over the next many quarters and years.

The Israeli inflation changed direction and declined by 0.3% for the first time since February 2010. This is a shift direction after the CPI rose by 0.4% in June 2011.
In the recent Central Bureau of Statistics report regarding consumer prices changes, the Israeli inflation (CPI) declined by 0.3% during July 2011 compared with June's CPI (see chart below). The CPI sans energy declined by 0.2% during July and the CPI sans fruit and vegetables also fell by 0.2%.
The main sectors that contributed to the falling inflation rate during July were: Clothing (8.6% decrease), gasoline and fuels (3.0% decrease) and footwear (6.3% decrease). On the other hand, the following sectors inclined during last month: housing rent (0.7% increase), and cars (0.9% increase).
During the last twelve months (July 2010 to July 2011) the Israeli inflation rose by 3.4%; the CPI without fruit and vegetables increased by 3.5%; the CPI without energy inclined by 3.1%; and the CPI without housing rose by 2.7%.
The Bank of Israel kept the August basic interest rate unchanged at 3.25%; the rise in recent months of basic interest rate (see chart above) doesn't seem to have much of an effect in curbing the rising inflation. The recent change in direction in the Israeli inflation was mainly due to the drop in the global crude oil prices in recent months.
Despite the recent change in direction, Bank of Israel is likely to continue examining the Israeli inflation and will likely to eventually raising the basic interest rate at least one more time by the end of 2011. The main problem is that raising the basic interest rates will continue to strengthen the Israeli currency mainly against the US dollar as it did in recent months.
Lior Cohen, M.A. economist and blogger at IBR and Trading NRG.

The Fat Transfer Procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic
Fat transfer at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic can be a wonderful cosmetic surgery, as it is has a dual benefit; taking fat from an undesired place on your body and placing it to an area where you want more volume and shape!
Fat transfer at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is performed on an outpatient basis. You can expect to receive a localized anesthetic in two areas: the "donor" site, which is the area from which fat is taken, and the area where the fat will be reinjected ("recipient site"). A small needle attached to a syringe will be used to draw the fat. Excess fluid is removed and the fat is then reinjected into the skin of the targeted area. This process can be repeated to achieve the desired results. At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, patients may choose to remove fat during another cosmetic surgical procedure, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck. Doing so allows for a larger amount of fat to be obtained, which is then frozen and stored for a future fat transfer procedure. Fat transfer is also known as autologous fat transplantation and micro-lipoinjection.
Where Can the Fat are Transferred To?
Almost any area(s) where there is a depression or you simply want more volume can be considered an area for where the fat will be transferred to (i.e. - the recipient site). Popular areas include the cheeks, lips, hips, hands, buttocks and breasts.
Fat Transfer to the Face:
When it's on your face, the appropriate amount of fatty tissue is actually beneficial. Facial contours remain smooth, skin is taut, and suppleness is maintained. With age, however, fatty tissue gradually disintegrates and leaves your face saggy and haggard. A popular alternative to injectable fillers, fat transfer to the face is a safe, natural and non-allergenic procedure as it is not using a foreign substance.
Fat Transfer the Buttocks:
This procedure is commonly known as the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is quite popular at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. Unwanted fat is taken from the areas surrounding the buttocks, such as the abdomen, inner thighs or love handles and is placed into the butt, thus having a dramatic result of enhancing the bottom.
Fat Transfer to the Breasts:
In order to have the breasts enlarged through fat transfer, you do need a certain amount of pinchable fat. The excess fat does not necessarily have to be removed from your waist, but can be taken from the thighs, buttocks, arms, or back. For women who do not have enough fat on their body to harvest, then breast augmentation would be the solution with regards to enlarging the breasts. A drawback to fat transfer to the breasts is that usually a patient cannot increase their breast size to over one cup size. However, for patients who need more a minimal enlargement, fat transfer is appealing to those who want a natural tissue in the breasts.
Preparing for a Fat Transfer Procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic
Preparing for the fat transfer procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic is not unlike preparing for our other cosmetic procedures. Remember, the fat transfer procedure uses part of your body (i.e. the fat) in order to improve the appearance of another part of the body. There are various things one needs to consider in preparation for the procedure itself. These steps primarily have to do with ensuring one's own general health and well-being. This means to stop smoking as much as you can in far enough advances and to stop drinking at least 2 weeks before surgery; both of which can inhibit the body to properly recover from surgery.
Eat properly and avoid excessive and/or overly stringent dieting a few weeks prior to and after the procedure. In order for the procedure to be successful, one's body needs to have a sufficient amount of fat in the target area. Otherwise, the required amount of fat may not be safely removed.

What area is fat taken from?
Fat can be taken from areas that have tightly packed fat accumulation. Common areas include the thighs and abdomen.
If I do not have enough fat, can I take the fat from my friend/family member and use it?
The answer is "no". If fat was to be transferred between individuals it will then act as foreign substance and therefore would be rejected, not to mention the health risks that could arise between the sharing of bodily fluids.
Are the results of a fat transfer procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic permanent?
Fat transferred to areas of the body that do not generally move lasts longer. Cheeks, for example, may only require one treatment while an area like the mouth may require more. After surgery keep in mind that the recipient site will not keep all the fat that was transferred. About 20%-30% of the fat will not survive. Which is the final results take a few months?
What should I expect after the procedure?
You should expect to experience some amount of swelling in the treated areas. Some bruising and soreness may also occur. This will gradually go away after a few weeks. Avoid moving the treated areas while they heal.
It is always best to follow the post-operative care instructions outlined by your plastic surgeon.
When can I see the results of a fat transfer procedure at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic?
You'll be able to see the results of your fat transfer in about 3 to 4 months. However, this depends on the areas treated as well as your general health. Your plastic surgeon will have a better estimate.

When I was 20 years old I woke up from a nap unable to move or talk. My mind was still functioning, but I could not figure out what had happened to me. Why was I paralyzed? The next day, when I finally got to the emergency room, I found out that I had suffered a stroke.
Twenty years and three children later, as I was picking my youngest son up from school, I started having excruciating chest pains. I drove to the emergency room, knowing and feeling that I was having a heart attack and that every second mattered.
I am blessed that neither my stroke nor my heart attack had significant long- term effects. The heart attack was a wake-up call to me about diet and exercise. I walk. Walk everywhere. Walk everyday. Power walk. I even walked three AHA-sponsored marathons!
I also talk to everyone I meet about the warning signs and what they can do to help themselves – namely walking. I want to thank each of you for all you do. Without the American Heart Association I may not be here today. Get INSPIRED to make a CHANGE in your life today!

FORSYTH, Ga. (AP) -- After two years of being imprisoned for having consensual oral sex with another teenager, Genarlow Wilson was released this evening.
A throng of family members, including his mother, Juannessa Bennett, were waiting outside Al Burruss Correctional Training Center when the 21-year-old emerged from the prison.
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 4-3 today that the ten-year sentence Wilson received was cruel and unusual punishment and ordered his release.
Wilson told a news conference outside the prison, "I'm finally happy to see we've got justice now."
He said that among his immediate goals was to get into college.
His attorney, B.J. Bernstein, said, "His mother is just thrilled. We're all in a little bit of shock."
Wilson was convicted of aggravated child molestation following a 2003 New Year's Eve party at a Douglas County hotel room where he was videotaped having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl. He was 17 at the time.
Wilson was acquitted of raping another 17-year-old girl at the party.
The 1995 law Wilson violated was changed in 2006 to make oral sex between teens close in age a misdemeanor, similar to the law regarding teen sexual intercourse. But the state Supreme Court later upheld a lower court's ruling which said that the 2006 law could not be applied retroactively.
Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears wrote in the majority opinion Friday that the changes in the law were a "seismic shift in the legislature's view" of oral sex between two willing teenage participants.

L-arginine is a common amino acid in protein food and is the precursor to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator and when taken in high enough doses, it is known to be able to boost athletic performance (commonly used by gym goers), lower high blood pres sure naturally, immune booster, aids in weight los s by increasing muscle to fat ratio, keeping the skin smooth, anti aging, build new bones, increase Human Growth Hormone, anti cancer, improve wound healing, detoxification, reduce mental stres s, aid in dysfunction in men and improve performance. The amounts of arginine present in food are normally insufficient to show benefits as shown therefore it will be neces sary to take L-arginine supplement in order to achieve the results required. Though the product recommends 1 tablet (1g each) 1-2 daily, I find that 1-2 g daily is too low to able to feel any results. Generally, you will need 4-6 g daily over some time to feel the results. Note that taking too much at the same time is likely to cause diarrhea as well. In my case, 7-8 tablets at the same time seem to cause loose stools and will not happen if split into two different timings. An important point is that to take the tablets on empty stomach because if taken with food, it will compete with other amino acid for absorption thus reducing the actual amount absorbed. The tablets are suitable for vegetarians and are large so some people might have difficulty swallowing. In this case, it is best to take capsules (more expensive than tablets) instead.

Increased my energy level
Posted by Reviewer1992003 on Jul 13, 2011
I read a report for increasing your own HGH thereby increasing your energy levels and it really works. 1 gram each of L-Lysine; Arginine; L-Glutamine; and CDP Choline. I am 60 and since taking this have the energy I used to at 30!! My husband has a very physically demanding job and the first day he felt a difference also.
Blood flow

It really increases the blood flow to the extremities of the body! Very interesting!
Hemorrhoid Remedy
Posted by Reviewer2378669 on Jan 06, 2012
From research and exasperation over other remedies not working for my husband, my mother and a Himalayan cat, I found this works. My husband and mother are no longer having bleeding hemorrhoids. I give them one tablet a day. For the cat, I crush three pills at a time. I roll a bout 1/2 of Nutri malt paste in the crushed pill. With the tip of my finger I put the paste in the cats mouth. The cat has figured out this testament helps. She no longer evades me when I come with her "treat."

Excellent for before workout. Seems to get the blood flowing to the muscules.
I love these
Posted by Reviewer1019558 on Dec 10, 2009
I been taking these for about a yr now and they are the best Arginine that I have tried. I take 2 a day for good blood pressure, good strength, good overall balance, and good blood flow!
Arginine for Sexual Performance
Posted by Reviewer2167263 on Aug 20, 2008
I have been using Jarrow Arginine 1000 tablets to enhance my sexual performance for about three years now. I take two tablets a day. It took about a month before I experienced the full effects but since then I always feel confident I will obtain an erection when the time is right. I have not experienced any adverse side affects. It has allowed me to experience a very regular, reliable, and enjoyable sex life.
Capsules may be more effective....
Posted by Reviewer1105031 on Jun 14, 2008
Firstly, as far as arginine itself goes, I am wholly sold on its efficacy. I would recommend it to men with ED and to others looking for increased blood flow throughout the body. Arginine has many, many benefits for both women and men that are well chronicled elsewhere -- not just in the sexual realm. But in my experience, capsules or arginine powder seem significantly more effective than these tablets. Perhaps it's just the brand, or maybe tablets just don't get as readily absorbed. Great site to order from, BTW. Fast deliveries and excellent prices and selection.

Today is the voter registration deadline for the Nov. 6 general election.
Unregistered voters have until the end of business this afternoon to register at their county voter registration office.
The Monroe County office, in the county administrative building at Quaker Alley and Eighth Street in Stroudsburg, is open until 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The Pike County office, 506 Broad St., Milford, also is open until 4:30 p.m.
Registered voters won't be required to produce government-issued photo identification on Election Day this year. A recent state Commonwealth Court ruling has delayed the law's implementation until next year.
Poll workers are expected to ask for photo identification to familiarize voters with the future requirement, though it won't be required this year.

Grading Issues and Questions :MAD:
Hey All,
Well I am usually not the one to gripe about things but I have chewed this over and cannot come to terms with it and maybe you can help me with it!
Well last week I was asked to bring in a pass port photo for my licence as grading was up and coming (This is where it starts).
Now I pay my Sensei 50 Euros a month for him to train me and to help pay for the dojo space etc...
Yet I also Pay around 80 Euros a year into the Shinkendo Federation! Yet also on top of that I have to pay from 20 - 35 Euros for grading, depending on what I grade for...
My question is Why? why do I have to pay into a federation when I get nothing in return for this! I still pay My sensei for the training yet I have to pay for my grading as well as into a "Federation"?
This kind of leaves me with a nasty taste in my mouth and also makes me think "WHY SHOULD I GRADE"? as I cannot afford this every 2 - 3 months....
What do you say?
Peace, love.

The LL.M.: A Valuable Degree or a Wasted (and Expensive) Year?
In recent years, the legal academy has had to defend itself from students, the media, law firms and others on a host of fronts.
Law school is too expensive, the critics have charged. It's too long. It teaches the wrong skills. Students enter the workforce unprepared and ill-equipped.
Now, courtesy of this story in the National Law Journal, it's got another charge to defend itself against: that a secondary degree offered by many schools, the master of laws (or LL.M.) is a big fat waste of time and money for many students.
The LL.M. degree is growing in popularity: the number conferred by ABA-approved law schools grew 65 percent between 1999 and 2009.
Still, as the NLJ's Karen Sloan puts it, the value of the degree "remains something of a question mark."
For some, the programs, typically conferred after a fourth year of law school, can be a good way a good way for foreign attorneys to get a foot in the door at U.S firms or as a way for U.S. attorneys to break into highly specialized practices such as tax law.
For Colin Darke, the effort paid off. After graduating from the law school at Michigan State University, Darke enrolled in the LL.M. program at Boston University. The degree helped land him a job in the bankruptcy practice at Bodman LLP in Detroit, which didn't grant him an interview when he held only a JD. "For attorneys who want to try a different specialty, it's really tough and you need something on your résumé to help you stand apart."
But many law firms say that outside of a tax LL.M., an advanced degree really doesn't do much for the resume. "For our offices in the U.S., the only LL.M. degree that has much of an impact on our hiring decisions is a tax LL.M.," said Jones Day hiring partner Gregory Shumaker.
DLA Piper hiring partner Benjamin Boyd largely agrees. Specific advanced degree programs may set up students for specialized practices, but they don't guarantee entry into a major firm, he said. "Work experience, good grades and a good law school probably matter more," he said.

Although epidemiologic data show a direct relation between dietary sodium intake and blood pressure at the population level (1–2), some experts question the universality of the findings and oppose public health recommendations to decrease sodium intake in the general population (3). Certainly, results from reports on the relationship between sodium and blood pressure among major subgroups vary considerably. Several studies suggest that African Americans and older adults have heightened salt sensitivity (greater blood pressure response to sodium intake) (4–6). Some evidence also indicates increased salt sensitivity in women (7), although other studies do not support this claim (4–5). The association of sodium intake with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality varies by overweight status (8), perhaps reflecting a differential effect of sodium on blood pressure in overweight persons. Finally, higher dietary intakes of potassium and calcium have been shown to blunt the pressor effects of dietary sodium (9–10).
During the run-in phase, the higher sodium level was used. During the intervention period, the three 30-day segments were offered in random order.

Toronto Mayor Ousted from Office
By Ben Dummett
Rob Ford, the controversial mayor of Canada's largest city, has been forced out of office after an Ontario court ruled he violated conflict-of-interest rules.
Mr. Ford, first elected Toronto's mayor in October 2010, was accused of violating the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act for participating in a February city-council vote on whether he should be absolved from paying a financial penalty for seeking donations to his football charity.
In a decision announced Monday, Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ruled Mr. Ford failed to show his "error in judgement" was done in good faith.
As part of the decision, the judge suspended the judgement for 14 days to give the city time to decide how it will replace the mayor.
Neither Mr. Ford nor a city representative could immediately be reached for comment.
Mr. Ford has 30 days to appeal the decision and as part of that process to apply for a stay to suspend the court decision.

Next: Notations Used in This Manual, Previous: What is Calc, Up: Getting Started [Contents][Index]
This document serves as a complete description of the GNU Emacs Calculator. It works both as an introduction for novices and as a reference for experienced users. While it helps to have some experience with GNU Emacs in order to get the most out of Calc, this manual ought to be readable even if you don't know or use Emacs regularly.
This manual is divided into three major parts: the "Getting Started" chapter you are reading now, the Calc tutorial, and the Calc reference manual.
If you are in a hurry to use Calc, there is a brief "demonstration" below which illustrates the major features of Calc in just a couple of pages. If you don't have time to go through the full tutorial, this will show you everything you need to know to begin. See Demonstration of Calc.
The tutorial chapter walks you through the various parts of Calc with lots of hands-on examples and explanations. If you are new to Calc and you have some time, try going through at least the beginning of the tutorial. The tutorial includes about 70 exercises with answers. These exercises give you some guided practice with Calc, as well as pointing out some interesting and unusual ways to use its features.
The reference section discusses Calc in complete depth. You can read the reference from start to finish if you want to learn every aspect of Calc. Or, you can look in the table of contents or the Concept Index to find the parts of the manual that discuss the things you need to know.
Every Calc keyboard command is listed in the Calc Summary, and also in the Key Index. Algebraic functions, M-x commands, and variables also have their own indices.
You can access this manual on-line at any time within Calc by pressing the h i key sequence. Outside of the Calc window, you can press C-x * i to read the manual on-line. From within Calc the command h t will jump directly to the Tutorial; from outside of Calc the command C-x * t will jump to the Tutorial and start Calc if necessary. Pressing h s or C-x * s will take you directly to the Calc Summary. Within Calc, you can also go to the part of the manual describing any Calc key, function, or variable using h k, h f, or h v, respectively. See Help Commands.
The Calc manual can be printed, but because the manual is so large, you
should only make a printed copy if you really need it. To print the
manual, you will need the TeX typesetting program (this is a free
program by Donald Knuth at Stanford University) as well as the
texindex program and texinfo.tex file, both of which can
be obtained from the FSF as part of the
texinfo package.
To print the Calc manual in one huge tome, you will need the
source code to this manual, calc.texi, available as part of the
Emacs source. Once you have this file, type texi2dvi calc.texi.
Alternatively, change to the man subdirectory of the Emacs
source distribution, and type make calc.dvi. (Don't worry if you
get some "overfull box" warnings while TeX runs.)
The result will be a device-independent output file called
calc.dvi, which you must print in whatever way is right
for your system. On many systems, the command is
lpr -d calc.dvi
dvips calc.dvi

It�s time to get on the same page, or at least on the same book.
Reading Across Rhode Island, the annual event that gets many in the state reading the same book, is revving up for its 12th year. This year�s book: �Mr. Penumbra�s 24-Hour Bookstore,� by Robin Sloan.
The book �dexterously tackles the intersection between old technologies and new with a novel that is part love letter to books, part technological meditation, part thrilling adventure, part requiem,� The New York Times said in a 2012 review.
The book�s protagonist is an unemployed Silicon Valley tech worker, and a Rhode Island School of Design graduate.
Each year, Reading Across Rhode Island schedules numerous events around a book, promoting discussions in libraries, classrooms, bookstores and book groups around the state. Events have included lectures by historians, art exhibits and dramatic interpretations.
Reading Across Rhode Island, organized by the Rhode Island Center for the Book, opens Jan. 26 with a screening of the documentary �Google and the World Brain,� which provides an introduction to the book. The screening is at 2 p.m. at the Providence Public Library.
Events wrap up May 3 with the annual Author Breakfast at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet featuring Sloan, himself a former Twitter manager and �media inventor� from San Francisco, as the keynote speaker. For a registration form for the breakfast (available in mid-February) and upcoming RARI events, go to ribook.org.

Sailing to Byzantium
by William Butler Yeats
Analysis: Brain Snacks
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Yeats has some strange symbolism going on in this poem. He actually spent some serious time developing a whole code of symbols, which he used in almost all of his poetry. In A Vision, a philosophical tract written by good ol' W.B., he explains it all. That is, if there can be any explanation for the stuff that he's coming up with! There's even a website devoted to his system: www.yeatsvision.com.
Yeats was obsessed with Byzantium. Why shouldn't you be? Here's a way to get started: check out the Byzantine history web page from Fordam University.
