Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
This is how it was: Several years ago, on a hot summer day, I rose from a pleasant afternoon nap and made a cup of coffee for myself, and while I stood sipping from the mug I noticed that everyone was looking strangely at me and holding back their laughter. When I bent down to put my sandals on I discovered the reason: my toenails, all ten of them, had been painted with shiny red nail polish.
"What is this?" I cried. "Who painted my toenails?"
From the other side of the porch door, which stood ajar, came the sound of giggling that I recognized at once from previous incidents.
"I know who did this," I said, raising my voice. "I'll find you and I'll catch you and I'll paint your noses and your ears with the very same shiny red polish you used on my toes, and I'll manage to do it all before my coffee turns cold!"
The giggles became laughter that confirmed my suspicions. While I lay sleeping, my brother's two little daughters, Roni and Naomi, had stolen in and painted my toenails. Later they would tell me that the younger of the two had done four nails while her older sister had done the other six. They had hoped I would not notice and that I would walk out in public, only to be scorned and ridiculed. But now that their scheme had been unmasked they burst into the room and pleaded: "Don't take it off, don't, it's really pretty."
I told them that I, too, thought it was really pretty, but that there was a problem: I had been invited to "an important event" where I was expected to speak, but I could not appear before the crowd with painted nails, since it was summer and in summer I wear sandals.
The girls said that they were familiar with both matters—the important event and my custom of wearing sandals—and that this was precisely the reason they had done what they did.
I told them that I would go to any other important event with shiny red toenails but not to this important event. And that was because of the crowd that would gather there, a crowd no sane man would appear before with painted toenails—and red ones, no less.
The event we were talking about was the inauguration of the old arms cache used by the Haganah, a Jewish paramilitary organization that operated in Palestine during the British Mandate. The cache had been built on a farm in the village of Nahalal and disguised to look like a cowshed cesspool. In my novel The Blue Mountain I had described an arms cache that never existed in a village that never existed in the Jezreel Valley, but my arms cache was also built and disguised exactly the same way. After the book was published, readers began to show up on the real farm in the real village, asking to see the real cache.
Rumor passed by word of mouth, the number of visitors grew and became a nuisance, and the owners of the property were smart enough to make the best of their situation. They renovated the cache, set up a small visitors' center, and thus added a new stream of income to their farm. That day, when my brother's two young daughters painted my toenails with red polish, was the day the renovated arms cache was being inaugurated, and I had been invited as one of the speakers at the ceremony.
"Now bring some nail polish remover and get this pretty stuff off me," I told Roni and Naomi. "And please hurry up because I have to get going already!"
The two refused. "Go like that!" they said.
I sat down and explained to them that this was a particularly manly event, that there would be generations of fighters from the Jezreel Valley in attendance, elders from the Haganah, the Israel Defense Forces, and the Palmach. Men of the sword and the plowshare, men who had bent spears into pruning shears and vice versa. In short, girls, these were people who would not react favorably to men with red polish on their toenails.
But Naomi and Roni paid no attention to my pleas. "What do you care?" they cried. "You said yourself it's pretty."
"If you don't take it off I'll wear shoes!" I threatened. "Nobody will see your red nail polish, and that'll be that!"
"You're afraid!" they exclaimed. "You're afraid what they'll say about you in the village."
Those words took effect at once. Without knowing it the two little girls had hit a soft underbelly. Anyone familiar with members of the old-time collective agricultural movement, anyone who has been upbraided by them, knows that in small villages eyes take everything in and comments are made with regularity and rumors take off and land like cranes in a sown field. All the more so in places whose pedigree is famed and illustrious, like Nahalal's. Here, the standards are more stringent, and anyone who leaves the path of the straight and narrow, who veers left or right, up or down—even a single mistake made in one's childhood—is not forgotten. Especially someone considered odd, eccentric, meshugah, or an underachiever, which is the complete opposite of mutzlach, one of the loftiest expressions of excellence the village bestows upon its most fortunate sons and daughters, those blessed with wisdom, industriousness, leadership qualities, and community spirit.
But after many years in the city the combination of the words "what" and "they'll say about you" and "in the village" had lost some of their power and threat. So I reconsidered and decided to take up the gauntlet or, more accurately, the sandals. I put them on, thrust the notes for the speech I had prepared into my pocket, and set out for the inauguration of the old arms cache with my red-painted toenails exposed. The entire household eyed me—some with mirth, others with regret, some with schadenfreude, others with suspicion: Would I return to be reunited with my home and family? And in what condition?
Here I must admit and confess that despite my display of courage upon leaving the house, I became more and more anxious the closer I got to the event. By the time I arrived at the site I was absolutely beside myself. I silently prayed that no one would notice my toes, and my prayers were answered. No one made a single comment, nobody said a thing. On the contrary, everyone was warm and cordial. My hand was crushed by bold handshakes, my shoulder bent by manly slaps on the back. Even my short speech went off well and pleased the crowd—or so it seemed to me.
Naturally, I made metaphorical use of the arms cache as an image of memory and what is hidden in the depths of a person's soul. In the manner of writers, I prattled on about that which is above the surface and that which is below, that which the eye sees and that which it does not, and from there it was a short road to the tried-and-true literary merchandise of "reality" and the "relationship between truth and fiction in belles letters" and a lot of other fodder that writers blithely use to sell their wares.
After I had finished speaking and descended from the small stage and was able to breathe in relief, one of the daughters of the family on whose property the arms cache had been built approached and asked to exchange a few words with me in private. She thanked me for my speech and said it had been just fine, but then, almost as an afterthought, she added that she wished to know which nail polish was my favorite. She said she very much liked the shade of red I used, as did two friends of hers sitting in the audience who had asked her to find out.
And as that same shade of red flushed across my cheeks, the young woman hastened to add that she herself had no problem with it, that she even found it rather nice, something she had always felt was missing in the village and could be a happy harbinger of things to come. However, to others in the audience my appearance at the event had raised some reservations.
"I thought no one had noticed," I said.
"Not noticed? It's all anyone's been talking about," she said. "But take consolation in the fact that no one was surprised. I even heard someone say, 'What do you want from the guy? He got it from Tonia. She was crazy in just the same way. That's the way it is in their family.' "

Shalev 's most recent book is a recollection of the life of his family, especially the life of his maternal grandmother and her influence on the family. Grandma Tonia grew up in a small, Russian village and came to Palestine and a young maid. She soon thereafter married her deceased sister's ex-husband, Aharon, and raised a family in an early farming community in rural Palestine.
Aharon and Tonia were the first group of settlers in Nahalal, Palestine, and throughout his book, Shalev weaves in wonderful stories of the hardships their harships on the moshav. Primarily, though, Shalev relates stories about the cleanliness Tonia required in her small house located in the middle of dirt, fields, and livestock. He explains that nobody could use the house's only bathroom for fear of soiling it and that only few were ever allowed to enter the house through the front door.
One day, Aharon's brother sends Tonia the best GE vacuum 'svieeperrr' that money could buy and sent it by ship and horseback to Nahalal. Instead of using the vacuum to clean, however, Tonia ended up storing it in the house's closed bathroom. Accordingly, family stories started to circulate about the vacuum and Shalev shares them in his book.
I loved reading about Shalev's family and the thoughtful stories that he told. His comments about his family are hilarious.Read more ›
The main subject of the memoir is Shalev's grandmother Tonia. Tonia moved to Palestine from Russia in 1923. Tough as nails from a spartan life in Russia and in Nahalal, the first Moshav (collective agricultural settlement) in Israel, Tonia's main objectives seem to be raising her family and eliminating every speck of dirt from her house (not necessarily in that order).
The vacuum in question, was a gift from Tonia's brother-in-law. Given the socialism of the Moshav and Israel in general at the time, the brother-in-law was generally considered persona-non-grata--he lived in America and wholly embraced capitalism. But when the vacuum arrived on the doorstep, Tonia couldn't resist such an implement that could remove dust better than any mop or cloth. (Of course, when she finds out that the vacuum doesn't exactly eliminate dust--it simply sucks it up into a repository within itself--Tonia is appalled and banishes the vacuum to a storage closet.)
Through stories about removing mud and dust from the house, Shalev traces his own relationship with his grandmother (and the vacuum). Characters in the book abound, but they are all treated with care and respect and therefore never become caricatures. Shalev may tell humorous tales of his quirky relatives, but at the same time never uses them as foils or simply for comic relief. What we have here are well rounded portraits of of the Shalev family members.
The author opens the door wide with this endearing memoir.Read more ›
"My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner" is part family memoir and part memoir of "old Israel." The story revolves around Grandma Tonia and her GE vacuum cleaner. Grandma Tonia was one of the first settlers in Nahalal, which is located in the north part of Israel. Grandma Tonia is what we will call today a "neat freak"; her best friend is a rag, which is always located on her shoulder just in case she will randomly run into a lawless stain. On every doorknob, she places a rag so - God forbid - it won't get dirty when someone opens the door. She sends people to shower outside so the shower won't get dirty: a true "neat freak." The plot thickens when her brother-in-law, who lives in the US, sends her a new GE vacuum cleaner. This book is not only a family memoir, however. It is also a memoir of a time, already forgotten, of "old Israel" when life was much simpler. Shalev's writing is beautiful and this book will make you laugh and long for the good old times.

The telemarketer told me that I dont have to do anything because what he was offering was free and all I need to do was give him my bank routing number. THat is when I got suspicious. This is the first time a I got asked for my bank routing number; usually they asked for credit card number. When I told the guy that I can not give him my routing number because I was driving, he told me to pull over on the side of the freeway so I can give him my routing number. Now that is just outrageous.
Last night May 4th 2005 around 8:00 pm I recieved a phone call again from the same guy. He offered me the same thing again and I told him that I am not comfortable giving anybody my bank routing number.
He keep insisting that I should give him my bank routing number becuase he said and I quote "It is the safest transaction than giving my credit card number" at this point I had it with the guy but he still insist that I should give it to him. He said that if I am not comfortable giving my bank routing number, I can call his work. He gave me his address, phone number, his name and his ID# (R&R Escape, St. George Utah, Bryan Carter, 3215). Now I dont want to sound prejudice or racist but I know Bryan Carter is an american name or could even be a Caucasian name, but this guy sounded like he is from the middle east because his accent was so thick you could hardly understand what he was saying.
I hope this message will help other people in the future. Just to play it safe, if you are suspicious about a company just check it at BBB.

Definition of riff-raff in English:
noun[mass noun]
- The reason that we bought these seats is because we don't want to be bothered with the general riff-raff.
- They let in all sorts of riff-raff here, don't they?
- While I think programs and materials for the gifted are fine and good, I worry about meetings like this in which the dominant sentiment is that the only way to educate the gifted is to remove them from the company of mere mortal riff-raff.
Late 15th century (as riff and raff): from Old French rif et raf 'one and all, every bit', of Germanic origin.
rifle from Middle English:
The Old French rifler meant both 'to plunder' and to 'to scratch'. The plunder sense developed via 'search for valuables' into 'to search thoroughly' (mid 17th century). The word was then re-borrowed from French in the 'scratch' sense for the making of grooves in the barrel of a gun (mid 17th century). These rifled guns then became known as rifles (mid 18th century). Riff-raff (Middle English), formerly written as riff and raff, is probably also from rifler combined with raffler 'to carry off'. The sense 'disreputable person' would have developed in much the same way as vulgar and hoi poloi.

This was one of the original goals of the bitsyntax as well, i.e. to be able to with ease use Binaries as an efficent replacement for strings. I even once wrote a bstring.erl which was a module with an equivalent interface as string.erl This idea still holds. Possibly some explicit support for string management should be added to the runtime as well. String handling has been (and still is) one of the really weak points of Erlang. At least from a performance point of view, strings as lists (as we have it today) are slow, but very flexible and nice. Right !!.

This document describes FPC+Lazarus installation on desktops, laptops and servers with Apple macOS (Mac OS X).
For authorative/more detailed instructions for FPC, please go to [1]
Prerequisites: Apple Developer Tools
You need the Apple Developer tools, which are a part of the XCode development environment. They can be installed from the original Mac OS X installation disks or downloaded from the Apple Developer Connection (ADC), which requires free registration: http://developer.apple.com/.
Compatibility with Xcode 5.0 and newer versions (Mac OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11)
Like Xcode 4.3+, Xcode 5 and subsequent versions no longer install the command line tools by default. These are required by FPC/Lazarus, however. Unlike in Xcode 4 the installation option is no longer accessible in Xcode 5 via the Downloads tab. Additionally, the "Locations" tab of the preferences dialog may be confusing, as it mentions that the command line tools are installed:
The first dialog box shows that by default the command line tools are only installed inside the Xcode.app bundle itself. To install them globally, as required by FPC/Lazarus, execute the following terminal command:
xcode-select --install
Depending from your Xcode version alternative steps to install the command line developer tools may be to download them directly in the Xcode preferences window (see screenshots above) or to download them from developer.apple.com (please take care to install the command line tools that are correct exactly for your Xcode version).
- You can compile and install the normal gdb. See GDB on OS X Mavericks and Xcode 5.
Xcode 4.3+ compatibility (Mac OS X 10.7/10.8)
Xcode 4.3 and later no longer install the command line tools by default. These are required by FPC/Lazarus.
To install them manually, open Xcode, go to Preferences, select "Downloads;" and install the "Command Line Tools". Afterwards, FPC will install and function correctly.
It will be necessary to reinstall the command line tools after each upgrade of Xcode (especially when it's a new major version, the installer may delete the old copies of the command line tools), and also after switching to a new major version of the system software (idem). You may also download the command line tools from Apple Developer.
Xcode 3.2.x compatibility (Mac OS X 10.6)
FPC 2.6.0: there is an issue when compiling dynamic libraries with FPC under Mac OS X 10.6 due to a bug in the Xcode 3.2.x linker. This bug has been fixed in Xcode 4. You can work around the bug in Xcode 3.2.x by using the -k-no_order_inits command line parameter when compiling a dynamic library.
Xcode 3.1.x compatibility (Mac OS X 10.5)
Most versions of Lazarus and FPC are compatible with Xcode 3.1 (see the compatibility matrix for detailed reference). The Xcode integration kit is provided as an optional install to allow for developing with Free Pascal directly from Xcode. It is not required for development with Lazarus, however.
Xcode 2.x compatibility (Mac OS X 10.4)
Most versions of Lazarus and FPC are compatible with Xcode 2.3 or newer (see the compatibility matrix for detailled reference). The Xcode integration kit is provided as an optional install to allow for developing with Free Pascal directly from Xcode. It is not required for development with Lazarus, however. Xcode 2.0 was compatible with Lazarus 0.9.x, but it is no longer supported by newer versions of the Lazarus IDE.

*Restrictions apply to debugging with GDB. **Not available as pre-built installer. Compiling from source required.
Installation from disk images
Download the three disk images (.dmg files) for fpc, fpcsrc and lazarus from either of the following links:
Open up each disk image and install in this order:
- fpc
- fpcsrc
- Lazarus
After installation the Lazarus application can be found in /Developer/lazarus/, the FPC source files in /usr/local/share/fpcsrc.
If you receive a "Can't find unit Interfaces used by Project1" error on trying to compile a blank form, check the following settings in Lazarus (should be set by default):
Environment Options
Lazarus directory: /Developer/lazarus Compiler path: /usr/local/bin/ppc386 (PowerPC Macs: /usr/local/bin/ppcppc) FPC Source: /usr/local/share/fpcsrc
Project | Options
All paths blank LCL Widget Type: default (Carbon beta)
Project | Inspector
Required Packages LCL
Note - different versions of Lazarus depend on particular versions of the FreePascal compiler and will not work with other versions.
Another common problem is that the versions of fpc and fpcsrc are different.
This is the easiest way to install Lazarus on Mac OS X.
Installation using fink
To obtain the up-to-date release versions of lazarus (1.4) AND freepascal (2.6.4) use fink, a package manager for Mac OS X. The extra bonus of fink is easy installation as well as clean removal of a huge number of other open source software packages, including FreePascal crosscompilers for other processors and systems. The choice for lazarus is between an Aqua look of lazarus (preferred by most), a gtk2 look and a Qt4-based version:
$ fink install lazarus-aqua
$ fink install lazarus-gtk2
$ fink install lazarus-qt4
This also installs a number of other packages, such as the FreePascal compiler, the lazarus sources, gtk2 libraries and more. At the prompt, whether you want to install these additional packages, simply hit RETURN and go for a coffee. It really takes some time to build all packages, in particular on older Macs.
After installation, Lazarus can be started from the folder /Applications/Fink/. The actual details of fpc and lazarus are in subdirectories of /sw
With all looks, these widget sets for your program are supported on Intel-Macs:
carbon (Aqua), gtk2, qt4 (Aqua), nogui
These additional cross platform widget sets are supported:
win32, win64 and wince.
Projects with the gtk1 widget set are also supported on 10.4 and 10.5 through the lazarus-common-gtk1 package. On 10.6 and up, gtk1 libraries are deprecated in general and you have to port your project to the gtk2 or carbon widget set. The support of PowerMacs has also been stopped with the release of lazarus 1.4.0.
Install from Source / Development version
You need the latest stable released FPC installed in order to compile the development version.
Download and install a compiler
Download and install the FPC package: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339
There are two development versions of the compiler: 2.6.x is stable version without new features - only bug fixes. The unstable version 2.7.x comes with lots of new features but sometimes also with bugs. Best is to download and install fpc 2.6.x. Some daily snapshots can be found here. Keep in mind that these are daily snapshots and that you can have bad luck and get a buggy version. The probability is about 1:30. So if the version is buggy try another day or use the released packages instead.
Download the sources via svn
- Note: IF the current SVN of FreePascal can not be compiled using the stable release of FreePascal that comes with the current stable version of Lazarus (FPC 2.6.*), you will need a newer compiler. In order to compile the latest versions of FPC, first install a precompiled 2.6.* series compiler. You can get a compiled version of FPC 2.6.* at http://www.freepascal.org/download.var. Note: only do this if the instructions below do not work.
The sources are kept in a version control system called subversion or short svn:
- 10.5 and higher already contains svn clients. Users of earlier versions must install SVN for Mac OS X. A good package is provided by Martin Ott. You can also use fink. SVN clients with GUI (graphical user interface) are available from Versiontracker. A quite handy client, which integrates in Finder, is SCPlugin.
Create a directory, where you would like to put the sources. You don't need to be root to do this. Any normal user can do this. First create a directory for fpc
- (e.g. /Users/username/freepascal)
then open a terminal and do the following:
[]$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
This will create a directory called 'fpc', which can be later used in the IDE. Hint: To download/update the latest changes you can simply do
[]$ cd /Users/username/freepascal/fpc []$ svn up
Building fpc
[]$ make clean all []$ sudo make install
Then download lazarus
[]$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
This will create a directory called 'lazarus'. To update the latest changes:
[]$ cd /Users/username/freepascal/lazarus []$ svn up
Building lazarus
[]$ make clean all
Then start lazarus either via command line or by double click in the finder:
open lazarus.app
Download stable sources
Source code of stable versions is available in the Lazarus Zip - GZip archives. This is e.g. an option for users, who want to run the latest official Lazarus versions on "unsupported" machines, e.g. PPC-based Macs. Provided that you have installed the latest stable FPC version together with sources, it is sufficient to download and unpack the zip archive. Move it to the desired location (e.g. your /Developer folder), open a terminal window and change the shell's path to this folder (the easiest way to do this is to type "cd " and then to drag the icon of the freshly unpacked Lazarus folder to the position after this command in the Terminal window). If necessary enter <return> and then
[]$ make clean bigide
and <return> again. Subsequently, Free Pascal will use the makefile in this folder to build the Lazarus IDE. This may take a few minutes, but the process is fully automated. Therefore, you might want to look for a cup of coffee, while FPC is working. If the compiler is ready it prints the number of processed lines and the required time to the shell's output.
The last step is to right-klick on the Lazarus bundle icon and to select "Show Package Contents" from the context menu. Then drag the executable "lazarus" to the folder "Contents/MacOS" of the bundle. That's it.
Uninstalling Lazarus and Free Pascal
Installed using fink
The complete uninstall of all fpc and lazarus packages is done with:
fink purge --recursive fpc-config
If you want to preserve changes to the preference file /sw/etc/fpc.cfg, do:
fink remove --recursive fpc-config
For the removal of the Lazarus preference folder and files in your home directory, see below ( Lazarus preference folder).
Installed from disk images or sources
Normally you uninstall an application on OS X simply by dragging it from the Applications folder to the trash. But because Lazarus and Free Pascal are development tools, they're installed in several folders that you don't normally see in Finder.
You can copy and save the commands below to file uninstallLaz.sh and run it if you need to uninstall Lazarus and Free Pascal. You can usually install newer versions of Lazarus and Free Pascal over older versions, but as with most software it's not a bad idea to clean out everything before you install a newer version. This list of commands should also give you a sense of where the various pieces of Lazarus and Free Pascal are located.
bin=/usr/local/bin share=/usr/local/share lib=/usr/local/lib receipts=/Library/Receipts private=/private/etc rm -fv $bin/ppcppc rm -fv $bin/ppc386 rm -fv $bin/bin2obj rm -fv $bin/data2inc rm -fv $bin/delp rm -fv $bin/fd2pascal rm -fv $bin/fpc rm -fv $bin/fpcmake rm -fv $bin/fpcmkcfg rm -fv $bin/fpcsubst rm -fv $bin/fpdoc rm -fv $bin/fprcp rm -fv $bin/h2pas rm -fv $bin/h2paspp rm -fv $bin/makeskel rm -fv $bin/mkxmlrpc rm -fv $bin/plex rm -fv $bin/postw32 rm -fv $bin/ppdep rm -fv $bin/ppudump rm -fv $bin/ppufiles rm -fv $bin/ppumove rm -fv $bin/ptop rm -fv $bin/pyacc rm -fv $bin/rstconv rm -fv $bin/unitdiff rm -r $private/lazarus rm -r $bin/lazarus rm -r $share/lazarus rm -r $share/fpcsrc rm -r $share/doc/fpc-2.2.2 rm -r $share/examples/fpc-2.2.2 rm -r $lib/fpc rm -r $receipts/lazarus-*.pkg rm -r $receipts/fpcsrc-*.pkg rm -r $receipts/fpc-*.pkg rm -fv /etc/fpc.cfg
Note that this assumes you have version 2.2.2 snapshot of Free Pascal installed. If you have a different version, change the two relevant commands to specify your version.
To run this script, change to the directory where it's stored and enter:
chmod +x uninstallLaz.sh sudo ./uninstallLaz.sh
Then enter your password when prompted.
Lazarus preference folder .lazarus in the home directory
Note: Lazarus also creates a .lazarus folder in your home directory where it stores environment settings and a list of recently opened projects and files. You can leave this folder alone if you want the new version of Lazarus you're installing to use your old settings. OS X normally doesn't show files or folders whose names start with a dot (.). To see this folder and its contents, enter the following in a terminal window:
cd ~/ ls -al cd .lazarus ls
To remove it, execute the following commands:
cd ~/ rm -rv .lazarus
Known issues
- FPC 2.4.4 has a bug. You can not compile the IDE with the range check flag -Cr.
- On OS X 10.4 you have to manually uninstall any previous version before installing a new dmg. Delete the following files and folders:
- /Developer/lazarus
- /Library/Receipts/lazarus.pkg
- /etc/lazarus
- /usr/local/bin/lazbuild
First Steps
The carbon interface has matured and is probably preferred over the gtk2 interface by most users of lazarus:
- The carbon IDE looks somewhat nicer, although autosizing does not yet work correctly. Therefore, some dialogs look pretty bad until you enlarge them manually.
- Sometimes the blinking cursor vanishes after closing a file. Just switch to another page and back.

"Ron, we've waited a long, long time for you" my daughter-in-law announced over the Mother's Day dinner table. It has been 15 years, in fact. It never occurred to me that after 17 years of marriage and a divorce it would take so long to find a partner.
I'm sure there were some that felt I was being too picky or unreasonable about not being willing to compromise what I was looking for. Now that Ron & I are engaged perhaps others realize that settling for mediocre is a sad way to spend your life.
Ron was out of the box for me and yet he fits me perfectly, like a glove.
Guess those 29 dimensions are accurate. We must have met at the perfect time. Each of us had decided we could never find what we were looking for but wanted the company of the opposite sex. Finding good company for dating was better than nothing. Instead we found the kind of relationship that neither of us had experienced before.
We may have had pieces of it in the past, but this was the total package. Shortly after we started dating we had some major events happen in both of our lives. Ron lost his mom, then a couple of weeks later had to put his dog of 8 years down. I felt honored to be by his side during the suffering and death of both.
For my part, I'd had my trust betrayed repeatedly in devastating ways throughout my life. I'd warned Ron that "other women" was a sensitive issue with me. I had worked hard to not let bitterness creep in my heart and to keep hope and trust alive. All of the groundwork that could be done was, before I met Ron. The only thing that remained was to be tested in a male/female relationship. Tested I was early on with Ron. He not only showed himself to be trustworthy, but like a master with a strong, steady, reassuring hand on a skiddish horse he calmed me. The years of pain and damage began to be stroked away revealing a beauty and strength that surprised me.
On 6-7-08 Ron was by my side when my second grandson was born. We had gone skydiving earlier in the day and rushed to the hospital in time for me to witness his birth-Cole was the first baby I had ever watched be born. Ron has taken me to the salt flats in Utah to experience the place where he has raced his motorcycle and is going to try for the landspeed record this year. I took Ron to the golf range where we discovered he enjoys my interest and seems to be a natural.
We complete each other, making each of us stronger than we were alone. Ron is an artist and has rediscovered the joy and love that he found as an art student. He has inspired a creativity in me that had been buried.
This man that vowed he would never get married has asked me to be his wife. I now wear his mom's ring on my finger. Her name was Peggy. The ring slid on my finger fitting me like Ron, perfectly, without needing any adjustments. We are planning a March wedding. I had no idea how deeply our happiness and love touched others until I heard it in their words, saw it on their faces and watched it as the tears flowed down their cheeks.
Words will always fail to be adequate to describe how incredible this miracle is. I'm so humbled, grateful and awed by this experience. Now we want to share what we are together with the rest of the world. It is too great to keep it to ourselves selfishly.

The structure theorem of Joyal, Street and Verity says that every traced monoidal category arises as a monoidal full subcategory of the tortile monoidal category Int . In this paper we focus on a simple observation that a traced monoidal category is closed if and only if the canonical inclusion from into Int has a right adjoint. Thus, every traced monoidal closed category arises as a monoidal co-reflexive full subcategory of a tortile monoidal category. From this, we derive a series of facts for traced models of linear logic, and some for models of fixed-point computation. To make the paper more self-contained, we also include various background results for traced monoidal categories.

Story and photos by
Sgt. Giancarlo Casem
11th ACR Public Affairs
FORT IRWIN, Calif.-With temperatures easily surpassing triple digits, infantrymen from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment underwent a five-day test at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., to earn the infantryman's coveted Expert Infantry Badge, Aug. 6-10.
"This is a proud day for the infantry warriors standing before," said Command Sgt. Maj. Phillip Simpao, the command sergeant major of 2nd Squadron, 11th ACR, to the families and friends of the 81 Soldiers who earned their EIB during a badge-pinning ceremony. He added that their accomplishment, "speaks volumes about them and also their families, friends and leaders."
Preparation for the EIB began in July. Candidates were given the opportunity to train for the events to the EIB test's exact standards. Candidates refamiliarized themselves with the 34 infantry tasks they would be evaluated on. More than 230 Soldiers entered the training phase, which itself presented mental and physical challenges. By the end of the training phase, that number had dwindled down to 199.
"Starting with the first road march, it was hard," said Sgt. Samuel Worth, Fury Troop, 2nd Sqdn., 11th ACR. "The train up was really tough, but it's worth it all."
Worth, a native of Victorville, Calif., said the training period helped the candidates prepare themselves mentally and physically.
"It made the testing a little easier," he said. Worth added that one of the most important lessons he learned was to push himself. "When things get really tough, you just have to keep your head up and drive on. It pays off."
The first day of the EIB testing started on Aug. 6 with an Army Physical Fitness Test. To earn a "go," the candidates must score at least 75 percent on the push-up, sit-up and two-mile run events. From there, the candidates went directly to the day and land navigation course. The infantrymen plotted their course and navigated their way through the Mojave Desert with temperatures reaching as high 110 degrees. By the end of the first day, only 92 candidates remained.
The next three days of EIB testing focused on the Soldiers' individual combat tasks. The three lanes; Traffic Control Point, Urban, and Patrol lanes, each consisted of 10 tasks. These tasks included operating different small-arms weapons systems, machine guns, employing hand grenades, calling for artillery or air support and providing first aid. All Soldiers had to complete the tasks within a lane in the prescribed time.
At the conclusion of the individual tasks testing, the number of candidates had dwindled down to 82. By the fifth day, only one obstacle stood in front of the candidates, a 12-mile road march. The candidates started their final endeavor at 3 a.m., Aug. 10, near the Fort Irwin front gate. The Soldiers had to complete the 12-mile trek to Fritz Field in under three hours, while carrying at least a 35 lbs. ruck . The early morning start only provided a short respite from the Mojave Desert heat. As the Soldiers trod closer to the end of the route, the desert sun slowly crept up behind Tiefort Mountain.
As candidates neared the finish line, they were met and cheered on by their fellow Soldiers and the 11th ACR command team. Command Sgt. Maj. Nathan Buckner, Fort Irwin and NTC command sergeant major, congratulated each Soldier personally as they crossed the finish line.
During the badge-pinning ceremony, 81 Soldiers proudly stood in formation. Of those Soldiers, 11 of them received an Army Achievement Medal for earning a "True Blue" EIB. To be considered a true blue EIB holder, a Soldier must receive a "go" in all 34 tasks.
For the Soldiers who earned their EIB, the training provided them with important Soldiering and life lessons.
"I now know what to do, when I need to do it," said Spc. Luis Veliz of the New Mexico National Guard. "Now I know I can do it with more confidence."
Veliz, a native of San Jose, Calif., volunteered for a chance to earn his EIB. Veliz was the only Soldier not from the 11th ACR to earn his badge.
"I feel great and proud to have been able to represent New Mexico," he said.
As the 81 Soldiers walk away from the EIB test, each of them will be able to bring something back to their unit as proven expert infantrymen.
"It's good to have that training; that high level of standard," said 1st Lt. Matthew Cowsert, Kilo Troop, 2nd Sqdn., 11th ACR, and a native of Summerton, S.C. "I learned that whatever is thrown at me, I know how to handle it; I'm more confident in combat situations."

As soon as I read that, it was unacceptable to me so I did not proceed any further with the order. Didn't receive any order confirming emails from them so I thought all was well. Wrong! A few days later, I received their trial bottle. No other information or paperwork came with it.
I would have loved to call them or email them. But how was I supposed to know how to contact them? So I see the $1.99 post to my account. Ok-no sweat I thought..it's only $1.99.
And then, a few days later, another two bottles came to me via US Postal Service. $99.90 posts to my account. Now I'm Ticked.
I got their name of the shipping document that came with the two bottles and looked for them online.
Found them, emailed them, which was super hard to do...so many hoops to jump through. Then requested an autoship cancellation. No One has replied and it has been 3 business days since I requested the cancellation. I also called them and was able to leave a voicemail. Same thing, 3 business days have passed and no one calls from there.
I tried calling them all morning long. All I get is "Thank you for calling LeanLifePM" then dead silence. No other prompts, no voicemail greeting...I pressed buttons, that didn't work. I hung on the line for 5 mins--nothing. Dead silent. No recordings that you'd expect a company to have..no music playing, nothing.
So I tried to email them one last time and am waiting on what is going to happen next.
I am going to report this company to the Better Business Bureau.
Anyone else looking to order this product--do not get suckered into their offer--you are actually just going to get screwed over!

Esha Gupta, Tamannah and Sajid Khan Promote Humshakals On Dance India Dance L'il Masters
Actors Esha Gupta and Tamannah Bhatia promoted their upcoming film Humshakals on Dance India Dance L'il Masters along with Director Sajid Khan on May 19. Three trio had a gala time on the sets of the dance reality show with host Jay Bhanushali, the judges, and the little contestants.
Sajid Khan's latest directorial venture, Humshakals, is a multistarrer once again, and is slated for a June 20 release. Though the movie's entire cast could not make it on this episode of DID L'il Masters, Sajid brought along two of the three leading ladies of his film- Tamannah and Esha, for the promotions this time and promised that the whole team of Humshakals will make their appearance in the Grand Finale of DID L'il Masters on June 15.
"This is my biggest comedy film." said a proud Sajid Khan. He encouraged the audience to go and watch the film, saying "I would like to say that please go and enjoy 'Humshakals'. It is a new concept, which is the result of my mad mind. It has three Saif(Ali Khan), three Riteish(Deshmukh) and three Ram Kapoor, which confuses the beautiful Tamannah, Esha and Bipasha(Basu)." "You will see Satish Shah in a very funny role after a long time. Then Chunky Pandey who has become a favourite," said the Housefull Director, elaborating on the movie.
Tamannah, impressed by the performances of the kids on the show, tweeted, "Promoting the film at DID. Amazingly talented kids". This is Tamannah's second film with Sajid Khan, the first being the 2013 release, Himmatwala.
'Humshakals', produced by Vashu Bhagnani, is inspired by the 1982 classic comedy 'Angoor', which was based on William Shakespeare's play 'Comedy of Errors'.
Take a look at all the fun during the episode...

BOSTON -- Boston's Jaromir Jagr will become the 19th player in NHL history to reach 200 career playoff games tonight.
"That's a pretty impressive number,'' said Chris Kelly.
"He still loves the game, which is the most important thing. You lose that love for the game, that passion, maybe it becomes more of a job, you don't enjoy coming to the rink every day. He's got a smile on his face every day, which is nice to see,'' he said.
The 41-year-old Jagr has 78 goals and 119 assists for 197 points in 199 postseason games.
He is fifth all-time in playoff points behind Wayne Gretzky (382), Mark Messier (295), Jari Kurri (233), and Glenn Anderson (214).

moreFor centuries, adventurers and scientists have believed that not only could we delay death but that "practical immortality" was within our reach. Today, many well-respected researchers would be inclined to agree. In a book that is not about anti-aging, but about functional aging--extending your healthy, active life--Dr. Sanjay Gupta blends together compelling stories of the most up-to-date scientific breakthroughs from around the world, with cutting-edge research and advice on achieving practical immortality in this lifetime. Gupta's advice is often counterintuitive: longevity is not about eating well, but about eating less; nutritional supplements are a waste of your money; eating chocolate and drinking coffee can make you healthier. CHASING LIFE tells the stories behind the breakthroughs while also revealing the practical steps readers can take to help extend youth and life far longer than ever thought possible. less

By Jim Tedford, Director of Animal Welfare Initiatives and Alliances
Jim volunteers every month with the ASPCA shuttle from Louisiana to New Jersey. After nearly 20 years working in animal shelters, he knows adoptions save lives.
The atmosphere is electric with the anticipation of 30+ volunteers, half of whom are PetSafe associates, waiting to see who will be on the next truck coming in from New Orleans! Most of us have been here before and we know that the truck will be filled with potential best friends. But, will they have curly hair or wiry hair or short hair or long hair? Will they be tiny or massive? Will they be old or young? The answer to ALL of these questions is a simple "yes"!
The truck will carry between 50 and 60 dogs and puppies headed from Louisiana to bright futures of new homes in New Jersey. Thanks to a partnership between the Louisiana SPCA and St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in New Jersey, lives are being saved each and every month. The dogs come in all shapes and sizes, mutts and purebred. They all have one thing in common - they need new homes!
AnimalWorks, an East Tennessee, not-for-profit spay and neuter clinic serves as a "way-station" for animals making this long trek. Tennessee is close to the mid-way point in the trip and by the time the transport vehicle loaded with its precious cargo arrives at AnimalWorks, these dogs (and their human escorts) have already been on the road for 10 hours or longer.
At the "way-station" volunteers remove the dogs from their transport cages and let them stretch their legs and use the fire hydrant. They go for nice, long walks giving them a much-needed break.
Jim helps reload the shuttle after its pit stop in Knoxville.
Next, they visit with our medical team made up of veterinarians and students from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. They are checked over to make sure they remain healthy, stress-free and ready to complete the life-saving ride to New Jersey.
They are fed and offered water while the cleaning crew makes sure their travel accommodations are spic and span. And, most importantly, they are given a healthy dose of love.
It's really a matter of supply and demand. There are too many unwanted dogs and puppies in some regions of the country while other areas have a level of demand that exceeds the supply.
Enter the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and its national Relocation Initiative. The ASPCA recognizes that the only thing standing between life and death for thousands of dogs is A RIDE! For that reason, the national leader in animal protection has begun connecting partner shelters and helping them kick-start life-saving transports.
A volunteer shares some kisses during the ASPCA transport shuttle's way-station stop in Knoxville. Volunteers shower the pets with love before they make the last leg of their journey to their forever home.
Transports are happening all over the country, and they're happening almost every day. Many local animal shelters and animal rescue groups are partnering with one another to move dogs from areas of high supply and low demand to areas where they are desperately wanted. Quite literally, these dogs are being taken on the ride of their lives!
Those organizations managing transports wisely and humanely are following guidelines established by the National Federation of Humane Societies and the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. A ride is a good thing, but only if it's done right and the best interests of the animals involved, which is always a primary consideration.
At PetSafe, we are proud to play a role in this work. Since April, we've cared for nearly 200 dogs on their way to new homes in the Northeast. We've been extremely cold and we've been extremely warm, but all that seems to go away when we watch those tail lights head down the road. Helping people forge bonds with their pets and then preserving those bonds is what we're all about. And, it sure feels great!
ABOUT JIM Jim Tedford serves as PetSafe's Director of Animal Welfare Initiatives and Alliances. Working on the front line of animal welfare for over 20 years, Jim has served as CEO for organizations in New York, Louisiana and Tennessee. Prior to joining PetSafe, Jim provided marketing and fundraising services to animal welfare organizations nationwide. Jim holds a degree in animal science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Jim and his wife Ann share their "empty nest" in the Smoky Mountains with adopted dogs Bodie, Sam, and Lila and a formerly homeless macaw, Gipper.

However, in '''my''' Godlike opinion, remember this is the Tayopa #2 area. They just might hit the epicenter of the prescious metals the Padres were mining.
Of course that will lie in Jim's section. Our south American boys will be crying in their fermented Mares' milk.
