text: To Youth: With Memories, Regrets, and Love Posted on April 17, 2012 by: Admin 5 Comments: By Mary Jane Matz At the end of January in 1893, Giacomo Puccini, then 34 years old, was still a struggling composer, still hoping for a hit. Neither of his first two operas had become popular, but he had hopes for the future; and they were fully realized a few days later with the triumphant world premiere of Manon Lescaut. It made him famous almost overnight, boosted by the popularity of opera at the time. Within a week, Puccini was planning La Bohème. The Source of the Opera For the third time, Puccini chose a French story as his source, which is not surprising, since he always had an international eye and a broad point of view. After all, he traveled extensively all over Europe and visited South America once and New York twice and took side trips to places like Malta and Egypt! As for his operas, most were not based on Italian sources. In addition to his first three "French" works, he used French subjects for Tosca, taken from Victorien Sardou's melodrama, and Il Tabarro, from a play about bargemen on the Seine. With its strong Grand Guignol underpinnings, it exuded French local color. From the American cultural scene he used plays by David Belasco, a Broadway producer who wrote Madame Butterfly and The Girl of the Golden West. It became Puccini's La Fanciulla del West. Next came La Rondine, with its origins in Vienna. Beyond all this, Puccini admired Richard Wagner and actually saw Wagner operas in Bayreuth. In sum, he was never a purely "Italian" composer. That was something the Italian critics could never forgive, so they often railed at him for not being "national" enough and not hewing to Italian practice. None of the criticism mattered, for early and late Puccini paid no attention at all. So it was that in 1893 he became interested in Henri Mürger's popular Scènes de la Vie de Bohème, a series of little stories about Latin Quarter artists, their poverty, and their loves. Having first published these very personal accounts in installments in a French periodical, Mürger had then made them into a play and a novel. Puccini used both for his opera. Creating La BohèmeTo transform this French material into a libretto, the composer turned first to Luigi Illica, one of several men who had collaborated with him in the problem-ridden development of Manon Lescaut. It had been nothing short of chaotic, with six or even seven people writing a text, and Puccini rejecting one act, one scene or one line after another. In the end the libretto of Manon Lescaut had to be published with no one listed as its author. But the hot-headed Illica could meet Puccini head-to-head, however demanding the composer might be. From 1893 to 1896, Illica worked steadily on the project with the composer and with Giulio Ricordi, the powerful publisher who was Puccini's mentor and sponsor. The first step: Illica wrote a scenario and then a drama based on the original play and novel. The poetic lines (required at that time by operatic convention) were then created by a revered poet-playwright, Giuseppe Giacosa, with Puccini and Ricordi adding their contributions to the text. This "four-man team" met often to discuss the work, batting around ideas and introducing new characters or new scenes. They also removed things that did not work, and Puccini even cut out one whole act! It was a process, not a single, lightning-flash act of creation. This same team of Puccini, Illica, Giacosa, and Ricordi later created Tosca and Madama Butterfly, which later joined La Bohème to make up the "trilogy" of Puccini's most popular operas. Puccini's Bohemian Life in Milan and Tuscany La Bohème became a window on the Left Bank culture of Paris, but it also opened windows on Puccini's own life-experience. First it reflected what he had survived as an impoverished composer in the 1880s and early 1890s. "Miseria!" he would gripe in letters to his sister. So in the libretto, when the poet Rodolfo described the wretched conditions in his flat, Puccini could write about something he had actually lived through. For years he rented cheap furnished rooms or tiny apartments, most in desperate condition. He pawned personal things, then had to ask his sister for money to get them out of hock. In the freezing winters of Northern Italy, he often had no heat. Nor was there enough money for a decent meal. In fact, we know what he ate: a couple of helpings of soup, with bread, cheese and wine; a simple plate of Tuscan beans and onions with bread and wine; or fried eggs, cooked on a spirit stove that he perched on top of his upright piano. Once when friends dropped in, Puccini and his mistress and his brother (all crowded into two or three rooms) had to sell and trade household items to scrape together enough money for grungy meat to make a stew! Nor was all that miseria left behind in Milan. Parts of Manon Lescaut and most of La Bohème were written in Puccini's bare-bones lodgings in Torre del Lago, a raw and primitive fishing village on a lake in Tuscany. On the day he moved in, all his possessions could fit on a single donkey-cart; and his mistress said, "We don't have enough to eat!" Among the fishermen and their families in Torre del Lago were several young artists who soon became Puccini's friends. Together they hunted, fished, drank, ate, staged mock heroic battles, dressed up in sheets and acted like ancient Romans, and played cards — tresette and scopa and briscola. Their refuge and sanctuary was a wooden hut roofed with dried reeds from the lake. They called it their Club la Bohème, and their antics and shared life certainly provided Puccini with material for his depiction of the artists in La Bohème. Three of these men were even identified with three of the principal male characters in the opera. One of them, Ferruccio Pagni, who was closer to Puccini than the others, wrote later that when Puccini finished La Bohème, they were all together, for he often composed at night, with people talking or playing cards as he worked. On that occasion, Pagni said, Puccini was "just writing the last bars [of the opera]" while he and their cronies played cards nearby. "Be quiet, boys!" Puccini said. "I have finished!" Pagni and the others got up from the table and went over to the piano. "Now I'll let you hear it. . . . This ending is good." And he started to play Mimì's last lines: "Sono andati." As he played on and sang the words, Pagni said, they all had a sensation of "the eternal substance: Sorrow." At the end, they were all crying. So Puccini never had to invent any "Bohemian life." These descriptions of his years in Milan and Torre del Lago come from real letters — Puccini's own and those of friends and relatives. This means that La Bohème, for all its romantic haze, is basically a realistic work, a snapshot of Puccini's early years. Nor did he ever forget those terrible days. Many years later, when he was the richest and most famous opera composer in the world, he remembered one of those plain meals, and he remembered it when he was in middle of the Atlantic Ocean, sitting in his private parlor in the Imperial Suite of a luxury liner. In a flash it all came back to him, and he longed to smell beef stewing on a rickety stove, as it had in those long-gone days. The World Premiere of La Bohème Far, far from being a series of star-turns, this is an ensemble opera about simple people who are almost destitute. As the first act opens we meet the four Latin Quarter artists: Rodolfo, a poet and journalist; Marcello, a painter; Schaunard, a musician; and Colline, a literary man and philosopher. They live from hand to mouth. The two women of the plot are Mimì, a frail girl who embroiders artificial flowers for a living, and Musetta, who sings for her living in cafes. When she is not with Marcello, Musetta trolls for elderly lovers; but in Act III, when she and Marcello are living together in an inn near the gates of Paris, they are broke, so she gives singing lessons to people who stay there, and Marcello "pays" for their room by painting murals on the outside wall. These, then, are the people Puccini dearly loved. As he once said, he cared most about "little people with big sorrows." Yet La Bohème is a full-scale opera, not a short verismo work about Sicilian peasants (as in Cavalleria Rusticana) or itinerant actors traveling in Calabria (as in Pagliacci). It would also be hard to imagine anything farther removed from the grandeur of the earlier operas of the 1800s: Donizetti's shows about English royalty and nobility, for example; or Verdi's Don Carlos, set in the court of Philip II of Spain, or Aida, set in the Egypt of the pharaohs. That is why La Bohème transformed its whole field, its genre. The world premiere of La Bohème took place in the Teatro Regio in Turin on February 1, 1896, with young Arturo Toscanini conducting. Its cast was solid professionals, not queens and kings of the stage, so they were cut to the proper dimensions for this opera. In the end, its success swept everything else aside. It was everything Puccini had hoped for: a composer's dream, for La Bohème is his opera, utterly and forever his.

- Abstract
- The paper presents a simplified mathematical model of a two-leg walking robot with four degrees of freedom. It presents a novel method of sensing and balancing for the bipedal robot with the minimum possible number of degrees of freedom for the walk. The proposed method involves the design of a semi-rigid ankle to facilitate fast and accurate measurements of the sideways (sagittal) instability of the walking robot. The use of a new hip-mass carrying strategy in the forward direction and a system of two counter-masses for the sideways body balancing enables us to decouple the forward walking algorithms from the robot stability issues. The system of two different masses helps to improve the response time and efficiency of the balancing system. The control algorithms developed provide continuous stability of the robot while it walks in a forward direction by actuating its four DC motors. Smooth leg trajectory planning is implemented to minimize the foot-ground impact and jerky motions at the joints. The efficiency of the proposed control algorithms is tested and verified by using MATLAB Simulink computer tools.

MRN.com: Ty Dillon Thunders to Daytona
February 19, 2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Ty Dillon has been on a mission since arriving in Florida.
Prior to claiming the overall UMP Modified Title at the DIRTcar Natonals on Tuesday night, by winning four out of six features at Volusia Speedway Park, Dillon took on another mission ... this time in the air.
He flew in one of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds' F-16s with Major Michael Fisher, the advance pilot/narrator for the squadron. It was an hour-long flight over the East Coast of Florida. Following a morning of training and learning about the fighter jet, Dillon blasted into the sky over Daytona Beach International Airport with a 5-G pull straight into a 15,500-foot vertical climb.
Once airborne, Fisher radioed to Ty, "Welcome to my office, bud."
Fisher took the jet south to Cape Canaveral, where he performed all the maneuvers the team performs during air shows.
"It was awesome," Dillon said after climbing from the cockpit. "Getting that first pull in was quite the feat. From then on, it was just an amazing experience. I'm so happy that I got the opportunity to do this. It's something I will never forget. I can't thank the Thunderbirds enough."
Some of the maneuvers Fisher performed were loops, barrel rolls, "knife edges" and inverted flat passes. "He did a great job of letting me know so I could prepare," Dillon said. "We went through a whole class for what you have to do when you're pulling those kinds of G's because your body is not used to that.
"I never felt like I was going to get sick. Sometimes, when you're pulling 9 G's, you're straining hard and feeling like you're going in and out."
Fisher will be joined by the rest of the USAF Thunderbirds, which will provide the flyover for the 56th annual Daytona 500, on Friday when they land at Daytona's airport that sits right behind the backstretch of the 2.5-mile superspeedway. "The team's excited to come back to Daytona," Fisher said. "We were here in 2013, but the weather didn't cooperate so we're looking for a good flyover this year. Hopefully, the weather is a little bit better. We're looking forward to representing America's airmen on Sunday."
With a high-speed flight and a dominating performance in the DIRTcar Nationals under his belt this week, Dillon has his sights set on Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series season-opening DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway.
"I got a little raw speed in before we go ride around Daytona and hopefully, get us our first win," Dillon said.
Motor Racing Network will have live coverage of Saturday's DRIVE4COPD 300, with live streaming at MRN.com, starting at 12:45 p.m. (ET).

Girls Unstoppable
Even though past queens such as Empress Matilda, Lady Jane Grey, and Mary I had all ruled England in their own right, Elizabeth was truly the first crowned queen to successfully rule with absolute power. She never married and has often been referred to as the "Virgin Queen." Elizabeth is best remembered for bringing the Renaissance to England. She is also remembered for defeating the Spanish Armada and establishing Protestantism in England, replacing Roman Catholicism. Elizabeth was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn and she ruled from 1558 until her death in 1603. She was last monarch of the Tudor Dynasty and her reign is known as the "Elizabethan Era."
Elizabeth was a true intellectual and she was educated by renowned scholar, Roger Ascham. As a student, she studied Greek, Latin, rhetoric, and philosophy; she mastered all of these subjects. Not surprisingly, when Elizabeth came to power, she transformed the English court into a center for poets, writers, musicians, and scholars. She had connections to literary figures such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, and Christopher Marlowe.
Elizabeth also transformed England from a Catholic nation to a Protestant one. Despite her Protestant sympathies, Elizabeth was known to be tolerant of all religions in England. Her reign and religious transformation were highly contested by other Catholic European nations. For years, Elizabeth's cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, had felt she was the rightful heir to the English throne. Mary had plotted for Elizabeth to be assassinated for years. As a result, Mary lived much of her life in England under house arrest. Finally, however, enough was enough and Mary was executed in 1587.
Mary's execution and England's longtime support for the Protestants in the Spanish Netherlands, was the last straw. In 1588, Elizabeth's former brother-in-law, Phillip II of Spain, sent out his navel fleet, the Spanish Armada, to invade England, dethrone Elizabeth, and reestablish Roman Catholicism as the official religion. Elizabeth, however, proved to be no shrinking violet; she retaliated and won. The defeat of the Armada left Spain bankrupt and Phillip II humiliated. Elizabethan England, however, moved toward prosperity and gradually replaced Spain as a World Power.

kits still nursing
When red fox kits are roughly five weeks old, not only do they begin spending time outside of their den, but they also start eating solid food and weaning begins. This mother is still nursing her young, but soon she will start discouraging them by not always giving them access to her milk through tactics such as lying on her stomach when they approach her for a meal. Within three weeks the kits will be completely weaned.

bitterns calling
American bitterns typically nest in tall, standing cattails, rushes and sedges, where they are well concealed. Like most birds, male bitterns use their voice to attract a female and stake out their territory. Dense marshes present a challenge when it comes to being heard, however. American bitterns overcome this challenge by having a very low-frequency call, which is audible at great distances in dense marsh vegetation. Once youve heard a bitterns call, youll never forget it. It is very deep, and has three syllables oong-ka-choonk preceded by clicks and gulps. The bittern makes this call multiple times by inflating his esophagus while contorting himself quite violently. A female American bittern couldnt help but be impressed.

darners migrating
The common green darner, Anax junius, is one of our largest dragonflies, measuring three inches long, with a four-inch wingspread. It is strikingly colored, with a green thorax and a bright blue (male) or reddish (female) abdomen. As if that werent enough to set this dragonfly apart, it is also migratory. Common green darners migrate south from August to November, stopping over (like migrating birds) occasionally along the way, resuming flight after resting and refueling. Thanks to radio telemetry, we now know that over a two-month migration, common green darners, each weighing about one gram, can migrate over 400 miles.
12/2/2013 Beaver breath
Its very subtle, but in winter, especially when it is very cold outside, there is a way to tell if a beaver lodge is occupied. The temperature inside the lodge remains relatively stable at around 34 degrees. When snow falls, it provides added insulation, raising the interior temperature of the lodge slightly. A layer of fat and thick fur keep beavers warmer than the air inside the lodge, plus they raise their body temperature even more by sleeping piled on top of one another. All the moist, warm air that beavers give off through breathing and evaporation escapes through the vent in the center of the roof of the lodge. The vents purpose is the exchange of air; when the warm air inside the lodge rises and hits the cold air outside the lodge, it condenses and forms water vapor that is visible, indicating that there is life inside.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

No. 1: Red Forman, "That '70s Show"
"That '70s Show" is home to a lovable bunch of bored Wisconsin teens just looking for a good time. That usually means doing something stupid, and that's where Red Forman (Kurtwood Smith) comes in.
A Korean War veteran with a no-excuse attitude, a hate for Communists and a relentless work ethic, Red is the definition of tough love. Unfortunately, his brand of fathering never did have a chance given his daughter, Laurie, has a new boyfriend every week and his son, Eric, is more in love with "Star Wars" than the Green Bay Packers.
His wife, Kitty, keeps him sane since he hates most people, and Eric's friends have somehow turned Red's basement into their second home. Which means something stupid is waiting to happen.
And when something does go wrong, Red has the perfect solution: sticking his foot in somebody's ass.
Wash it all down with a cold beer and you have a day in the life of Red Forman.

By Karl Terry: CNJ columnist
I honestly can't remember it ever happening to me in my adult life until this past week. I confess, I overslept on a workday.
After some 35 years of getting to work on time — if not a little bit early — I blew it by a little better than two hours. Panic, fear, dread and bewilderment only begin the list of feelings that rushed over me when I awoke shortly after 9:30 a.m. on a workday Monday.
About 10 minutes later, the excuse I offered a coworker calling to find out if I was OK involved sleeping pills, a power outage affecting my alarm, a bum knee, a sick wife and an old dying dog.
"It's none of my business but it just didn't seem like you at all not to be here on time," said the coworker.
I'm a creature of habit, especially in the morning and my routine is so automatic I'm kind of like one of those mules they used in coal mines that go about their job without anyone driving or leading them because they know exactly where every step is to be placed.
My alarm is set for 6 a.m. but the clock is actually set ahead about eight minutes. Normally I'm awake by the time it ever goes off. I get up, take the morning medicine, put on sweats or shorts and t-shirt and wander out to the living room. I turn on the TV. While the coffeemaker gets started I watch the last few minutes of the morning news out of Amarillo to get the weather. I change the channel to Imus in the Morning and go back to the kitchen to pour myself the first cup of Joe. I watch Imus while I eat breakfast then feed each dog two jerky treats apiece.
At that point I pour another cup and load the dishwasher with any dishes left from the previous night, I check the dogs' food and water then make a quick check of the garden or water house plants. I come back into the kitchen and pack my lunch and by then the living room clock, which is set precisely on the hour, chimes 7 a.m.
I shower, dress, kiss the wife and leave Portales for work in Clovis no later than 7:34 a.m.
I've worn the title of manager for more of those 35 working years than not. I've usually been the guy who looks up at the clock and scowls when an employee comes in 10 minutes late. Instead of getting the scowl from my managers this particular morning I found myself the subject of a good belly laugh or two.
"The story was just so incredible I had to believe it," said one boss.
The facts of this embarrassing situation are actually somewhat fuzzy. I took two ibuprofen PM tablets Sunday night after yard work left my knees sore. I never have liked taking any kind of sleeping pill or pain pill but old age and occasional sleeplessness have led me change my mind over the last few years. After taking the tablets I carefully reset the alarm clock as it wasn't correct over the weekend but because of the power outage, I didn't realize it had actually been shut off.
It was bad but perhaps the worst thing about the whole episode was that my wife, who is a chronic over-sleeper, was the one to realize I had overslept and she got the rare opportunity to wake me. Something tells me she'll never let me forget my one transgression.

Should I be concerned about this?
Hi, I wouldnt worry. My lo was kinda the same way. She is almost 13 months and is now just really getting into solids etc.. Just keep offering things and before you know it she will be taking bites more and more. My lo loved crunchy things first too. Then she would want bites of whatever I was having. Now she will eat a little off her own plate. Just make it fun. She will get there!
Isabella Grace 4/3/07, Elijah 6yrs, Logan 8yrs
That's just what I figured- sooner or later she'll eat!
Don't be concerned. Just keep offering a variety of textures and flavors and they will eventually eat when they're ready. My LO is also 11 MO and he's been very slow to start with solids and has only recently begun swallowing food.
We went through the crunchy stage- he would only eat cheerios too! Now he hates cheerios.
For us we discovered that he loves all things dairy so we can do yogurt, cheese, pizza.. fun stuff like that.
Have fun and good luck!

Great advice
dd will be 1 on May 25 so maybe this summer when I'm home full time she'll eat more (I'm a teacher)!
Would not worry.... My OB told me why would she want anything else when you are doing a wonderful job of meeting her needs, look at her she is so healthy! That made me feel great and I know he was right. We start food at 9 months and now she likes only things she can do by herself and absoulutly hates any babyfood! Can't blame her
wife , mom, maid , cook , taxi. All in a days work
I was right there with you. Then one day ds decided that not only would he eat, he would eat three square meals a day. Now family members comment "I've never seen a baby eat like that!"
So, you never know when it will happen. Could be tomorrow!
My lo just turned 1 and won't eat any solids... I'm not worried. I really believe she'll eat them when she's ready. A friend made a great comment -- "I wouldn't worry about it, she'll learn to eat, i mean, you never hear of a 40 year old who never learned to eat... right?" I thought it was great!

The community got a say in the future of the Spokane Convention Center Thursday, in a public unveiling of the three design finalists.
Each plan will add 20,000 square feet to the Convention Center, making it a full 100,000 square feet in the end.
The firms competing are Garco/ALSC/LMN, YLK Joint Venture/Bernardo Wills/TVSDesign and Lydig/Integrus. All three were given a separate room on the second floor of the Convention Center and welcomed the public to take a look at what they had to offer.
"I really like in one of the projects that it uses a lot of native vegetation and does a great job of making the river look like a river and not a park," Amanda Parish said.
"There's a desire to draw people in from the main roads, draw the pedestrians in and actually provide a way down to the river," Grant Keller said. "Currently, the way the facilities, the way they're laid out it's kind of hard to navigate, it's hard to know where you're supposed to go."
"I really like that it creates a sense of flow from the park across the river to the river, up the river it has that nice, green infrastructure," Amanda Swan said.
Everyone who visited the showrooms was asked to take a brief survey, comments that will make their way back to the Public Facilities District and help them make a final vote on Tuesday, April 23.
"What we wanted to do was put a front door on the river really and make it something that now becomes a community asset in many ways," Rafael Vinoly of the Gargo/ALSC/LMN design team said.
They were all pitching something unique from repaving the Centennial Trail from Washington to Division, to floor to ceiling windows so that whether you're inside or out – the river is the main focus.
"That extra 20,000 helps [the city] get a lot more shows, a lot more interest and a lot more outside people to Spokane to visit and see what town does," Jeramie Keeble of the YLK Joint Venture/Bernardo Wills/TVSDesign team said.
All three firms agreed, regardless of who wins the expansion of the Convention Center is a good project for the Spokane community.

Friends and supporters of two Iowa girls who've been missing since July plan to distribute fliers on Halloween to maintain public awareness.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier says residents are invited to print copies of the missing girls' photos and the tip line number and hand them out to trick-or-treaters in Evansdale. Parents and other adults accompanying children may distribute the fliers door-to-door.
Lyric Cook and her cousin, Elizabeth Collins, disappeared on July 13. Their bikes were found near Meyers Lake in Evansdale. Lyric has turned 11 and Elizabeth has turned 9 since they went missing.
The FBI believes the girls were abducted.

Scripting replication with powershell

One of the great things with powershell is the ability to easily script out sql server objects. With a bit of work you can also use it to script out replication objects, such as publications, articles and subscribers.

Welcome to the wonderful world of obsessive compulsive cartoonist Frank Page and his band of misfits. Bob the Squirrel chronicles the life and times of Bob, a squirrel and Frank, the human he's taken in as his own. Other ingredients in this comic strip stew include Frank's girlfriend- the effervescent "foofy coffee chick" Lezley, her daughter Lauren and Maggie, the overly protective pug mix. And to complete the meal, why don't we throw in Frank's dog, a jack russell terrier named Lucy---a dog who loves to climb trees, eat nacho chips and generally be the yang to Bob's ying. There's something for everyone in Bob the Squirrel... so, make a daily stop to see what's going on. You will not be disappointed.

123rd COG: A Magical Birthday
8 comments:
Thank you for sharing your very special birthday memory in the COG, Joan! And a lovely birthday it was. Thank you too for the birthday wishes you've shared with me. Happy birthday to us both!ReplyDeleteReplies
Jasia, thanks for the kind words.Delete
Wow, that is an amazing story! It's touching to think that a group of people that you really didn't know all that well were so kind and thoughtful as to celebrate your birthday in such a nice way!ReplyDeleteReplies
It was a most memorable birthday -- never forgot those guys even tho I never saw them again.Delete
What a treat, Joan, to have your Mexican friends celebrate your birthday. I can imagine your surprise and delight. Thanks for sharing your memory with us.ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoyed this little story of my childhood.Delete
I absolutely loved this post when it went up Joan. What a magical and special birthday, no wonder you remember it so well. Kids love "gaudy"...did you keep your Mexican doll? I was so impressed by the generosity of those workers who probably had little enough themselves. They must have had a lot of respect for your father as well as liking his little helper.ReplyDelete
Sorry I haven't been commenting as much lately (long story), but I have been reading your posts on the ipad which doesn't always like me commenting on blogspot.
I'd like to invite you to participate in my 3rd blogiversary give-away: I have two little gifts to send to the lucky-draw winners drawn from the commenters on that post. You've been a loyal commenter so I'd really like you to have a chance to "be in it to win it". This is the link http://cassmob.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/tis-the-season-for-gifts-3rd-blogiversary-competition/
Have a great Christmas Joan and keep up the good writing work in 2013!Replies
Pauleen, as always I enjoyed your comments --- as indeed, I enjoy your posts. I have been out of communicaton for the last month or so --- first because of working on the book, and then I slipped on the wet cement in front of Rite Aid during a rainstorm. Broke my left femur and spent a month in the hospital and rehab facility. Finally home and getting more self sufficient daily, tho still in a wheel chair for a few more weeks. Nice to be back reading my favorite blogs, and thinking about blogging again.Delete

RSBS Presents: MLB's Favorite Christmas Movies
As the holiday spirit settles in here at RSBS, we're starting to get a little excited. In fact, there's a really good chance that this is the year we get that Red Ryder BB gun we've been asking for since 1983. However, as we sit here staring at the gifts under the tree, we thought we could present you with a gift of our own. The interns did a bunch of work coming up with the list and now we just want you to enjoy it. So, enjoy!
Scott Boras
The Santa Clause
Only a hardcore DB like Boras could appreciate the fine print of a contract that makes you take over Santa's duties if you should happen to be instrumental in his demise. Hell, he probably wrote the contract. On the bright side, at least Scotty hasn't taken over as Santa…..yet.
The Kansas City Royals
A Charlie Brown Christmas
A ragtag band of kids who are all castoffs from one place or another gather around a depressingly bare Christmas tree. If that doesn't describe KC's fortunes, I don't know what does. And just wait until Greinke blows town.
Derek Jeter
It's A Wonderful Life
So, how many times have you not made the playoffs in your career? And how many World Series rings have you won? Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could give George Bailey a run for it in the Wonderful Life department.
Bud Selig
Tie: Scrooged and A Christmas Carol
However, he turns it off before the main characters have a change of heart. No room for sentimentality when there are small children and their parents who could be paying more for tickets and concessions. How much more? Get on that, Cratchett. And will you stop blubbering about your goddamn gimpy kid?
Barry Bonds
Miracle on 34th Street
Sometimes when Barry is falling asleep at night, he imagines the postal service delivering thousands of letters to him in a courtroom and the judge declaring him the real home run king. Wake up, Barry. You're still just a lousy cheat.
So, there you have it. If you ever wondered what a professional baseball player does at this time of the year, you have your answer. As for us, we'll be splitting a bowl of popcorn and hoping that oblong shaped box doesn't somehow put our eye out.

What about Deck the Halls? I think Dombrowski watches that one. A movie where Danny Devito blows all of his money competing with the neighbors to have the best light display and ends up losing everything. Of course, in the movie version, he gets it all back and his dreams come true and the Tigers are still waiting. Danny Devito and Dave Dombrowski…double Ds…coincidence…I think not.
Gotta love "The Santa Clause"! Yeah, Beam Me Up Scotty may indeed have written the Clause–he may have been the "Santa" in the second edition.😉
What about "Trading Places"? Is that where you and Jeff come in?😉
Absolutely fantastic. Even before reading the descriptions it was easy to see the similarities. You go, Al!
How did you find that info? My favorite is probably the Santa Clause 2 or 3

September 11, 2013 —
Speaking at the Eldred Town Hall's Heroes Park Tuesday evening Highland Supervisor Andrew Boyar addressed the audience at what he said was the first annual Highland Remembrance Service for those who died in the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Boyar honored local police and emergency fire and medical services and called for a new national day of recognition. "Isn't it time to honor the first responders who rise to the occasion every day?"

Sonnet 71
read by David Tennant
No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
5Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it, for I love you so
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe.
O if (I say) you look upon this verse,
10When I, perhaps, compounded am with clay,
Do not so much as my poor name rehearse,
But let your love even with my life decay;
Lest the wise world should look into your moan,
And mock you with me after I am gone.

In December 2004, the NetBSD Project released the feature-rich NetBSD 2.0. Even after such a masterpiece, developers kept working on improvements, new features, and new ports following the new development roadmap. Federico Biancuzzi recently interviewed them to find out what they are working on and how they plan to promote their project in the near future.
NetBSD's goal is to port the OS to as many platforms as it can. Which missing platforms would you like to support?
Christos Zoulas: We are currently working on IA64 and we should have something to show soon. As far as other platforms go, it is quite random. We need to have access to hardware or to a simulator, and find a developer that has time to do the port. I'd personally like to see a port on the Zaurus (should be easy because of our existing arm support), the IBM360 (which is a lot harder without help from IBM), and some of the big SPARC SMP systems that we don't support (there has been some work on that).
Is anyone already working on new technologies like 10Gigabit Networking, PCI-Express, and ExpressCard?
Hubert Feyrer: NetBSD already has support for these
devices: the
dge(4) driver supports cards based on the Intel
i82597EX chipset, like the Intel PRO/10GbE LR. The i82597EX chipset supports
IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware, as well as TCP Segmentation Offloading
(TSO). The driver does currently only support the hardware checksumming
features, which can be enabled with the
ifconfig(8) command. The
driver also makes use of the link flags
link0 and
link1 to set the PCIX burst size; see the dge(4) manpage for more
Support for PCI-Express is already available in NetBSD's machine independent PCI bus interface, which is used for all hardware platforms NetBSD runs on, including, but not limited to, Intel- and AMD-based PCs, Opterons, Sun UItraSPARCs, and Apple PowerPC machines.
An example of NetBSD's performant support of this hardware can be seen in the Internet2 Land Speed Record achieved by SUNET. Using two off-the-shelf PCs with the above-mentioned cards made it possible to transfer data in a production network between Lulea, Sweden, and San Jose, U.S. at an average rate of 4.3GBit/s over the duration of an hour, with peak throughput at about 8GBit/s for a single stream. See SUNET Internet2 Land Speed Record: 124.935Pbmps (single stream) and SUNET Internet2 Land Speed Record: 122.367Pbmps (multiple stream) for more information, including details on the network infrastructure and endpoints and their configuration.
FreeBSD 5.3 and DragonFlyBSD 1.0 provided a multi-threaded network stack, and now their developers are working on other sub-systems too. Do you plan to follow the same path?
Christos Zoulas: We are definitely going to multi-thread the network stack very soon. This is necessary in order to achieve wire-speed performance on gigabit+ networks. I don't think that this will make it for 3.0, because it is scheduled to be branched in February. This release will incorporate significant fixes to our NewReno code, SACK, and TCP Westwood+ system.
FreeBSD 5 introduced the new scheduler called ULE, and Linux 2.6 included a new O(1) scheduler. What about NetBSD?
Luke Mewburn: No specific plans at this time. We will observe FreeBSD's experiences with ULE and consider importing it if it is beneficial in the long run.
Hubert Feyrer: As far as I understand, there is a certain desire to have pluggable scheduling modules in NetBSD to accommodate different schedulers than the classic round-robin scheduler NetBSD uses right now. If and when this happens to materialize is not yet known due to limited capacities available in volunteer projects like NetBSD.
FreeBSD developed a framework to support binary drivers for MS Windows. Is this something interesting for NetBSD, too?
Hubert Feyrer: It is interesting to NetBSD, of course, as it enables using proprietary, closed-source/binary-only drivers at least on one platform, where no driver at all would be available otherwise. Of course, we much prefer proper drivers based on NetBSD's driver framework, which requires vendors to release documentation along with the hardware they sell. That way, people would benefit not only on one hardware platform, but any of their own choice.
As it currently stands, it's nice to have Atheros, Nvidia and NTFS drivers available that way on PCs, but leaving out all the fine Mac and UltraSPARC hardware seems suboptimal from NetBSD's point of view.
Luke Mewburn: Possibly. We'll observe FreeBSD's success with the concept.
OpenBSD started an effort to include in the main code base drivers for E1/T1 or T3/E3 to be a valid and cheap alternative to Cisco products. Is this be something interesting for NetBSD, which is known to be easily portable to embedded devices?
Luke Mewburn: Sure. There is a lot of "cross pollination" of drivers and subsystems between the BSD projects, which is good.
I've read some epic threads about the inclusion of PF in the main NetBSD code base. Now that Itojun has imported it, how will PF and IPF interact?
Luke Mewburn: There are some issues remaining with the PF integration, especially in terms of the PF + ALTQ interactions.
A longer-term goal is to separate out a packet classification so that the code can be shared between systems such as IPF, PF, and ALTQ without unnecessary replication.
James Chacon: PF is being included as another packet filtering choice for users to have available to them. In the end it's expected users can pick/chose whichever software best meets their needs here, so being able to offer both is a big win.
Christos Zoulas: PF and IPF are competing products, each one having its strengths are shortcomings. NetBSD will support both, and may the best of breed win.
Is anyone working on virtualization extensions to have multiple independent systems running at the same time?
Hubert Feyrer: Yes, in two ways: on a kernel level, there is NetBSD/xen, which acts as a virtual machine that can run several concurrent operating systems, with NetBSD being one of them (besides Linux and Windows). NetBSD was especially prepared to run as "Domain 0"; i.e., as the first machine on top of the Xem VM.
On a userland level, work is underway to do something like Usermode Linux on steroids: not only are system calls, etc. trapped, but also CPU instructions, which allows running non-native binaries. An example implementation of NetBSD/arm32 binaries running pkgsrc bulk builds on a NetBSD/i386 system was demonstrated at the pkgsrcCon in May 2004 in Vienna, and it was very impressive to see the system compile packages in near-realtime.
Do you have any plans to include or develop a kernel framework for clustering like DragonFlyBSD?
Christos Zoulas: We would like to eventually, but this is a longer-term goal for us. Improving the filesystems and realtime support are higher priority for us, and easier to achieve.
Do you plan to use
systrace to alter the common Unix permissions
model without introducing MAC extensions like FreeBSD 5 did?
Niels Provos: Well, that would be one application that you
could use it for. I think about it as a tool that should be easy to understand and
deploy. In many cases, MAC systems are very complex and very difficult to
systrace is not perfect, but provides some easy-to-deploy security
enhancements. I think that it is going to be important to make it work well for
the average user; e.g., many users download untrusted software and run it.
systrace could prevent any malicious code that might be hidden in there
causing damage to the system.
Do you have any plan to replace the old plain-text logs format with something like Bruce Schneier's Cryptographic Support for Secure Logs? Tampering with logs is pretty easy, and this has gone unaddressed for years.
Christos Zoulas: We have not considered this yet. While it sounds like a good idea, it has the drawback that the log files are not simple text anymore. I personally think that it is better to centralize log collecting in a secure machine, because cryptographically protecting the logs only helps you to verify that the logs have been tampered with. It does not help you to recover the information that has been potentially lost. We do have append-only files right now, and this seems to serve us well so far.
Do you plan to use Verified Exec to distribute binary updates?
Brett Lymn: I really cannot speak for the project. It would be nice to have as an option, but verified exec is not really something that I would recommend for a general-purpose workstation because it can get really annoying very fast--it is more aimed at providing an extra level of protection for machines like firewalls, web servers, and the like. Distributing the fingerprint file is a tricky thing to do; issues like making sure it has not been modified in transit, who is allowed to generate the file, and where the file is generated are all difficult questions that need to be solved before an official fingerprint file can be produced. At the moment, I have no firm plans to push this now but I may ask the project about doing this later.
Christos Zoulas: No, we are going to be using the standard hash signature support for that (MD5, SHA1 etc). Note though that we have /etc/mtree/set.* (per-set mtree specfiles) that contain a SHA1 hash suitable for more easily generating veriexec hash lists and/or validating a system.
What is the status of package views support?
Christos Zoulas: Some packages have been converted to use views, but not all. Package views are targeted for the pkgsrc-2005Q2 release, which will take place in June 2005, but may be brought forward if possible. There has also been a lot of pkgsrc work in porting to other platforms--the list of currently supported platforms looks like:
There's also been a lot of work in cutting the number of broken packages via regular bulk builds on a number of platforms, by a strict monitoring of any new features in the infrastructure, and by rapid fixing of anything that is broken.
Alistair Crooks: The infrastructure for package views is in place, and a number of packages (maybe 30-40 percent) have been converted to be able to take advantage of package views. We are targeting Q1/Q2 2005 for having all packages converted to be able to take advantage of package views, although we'll retain the existing "overwrite" functionality (it is desirable in a number of situations, such as on embedded machines).
Subversion 1.1 has been released. Do you have any plan or desire to adopt it instead of CVS?
Hubert Feyrer: Not yet. There is no experience with a repository as big as the NetBSD one, and the import routines from CVS to Subversion need a lot more work before all the information kept--and used!--in the NetBSD CVS repository can be transferred into Subversion easily.
Luke Mewburn: Not at this time. We need to further analyze the long-term benefits and disadvantages in migrating our version control system from CVS to another technology. It may be that Subversion doesn't provide us with enough benefits over CVS to be worth the hassle of converting. There are other open source version control systems available as well that advertise as being "CVS replacements."
NetBSD is the only BSD project that accepted the new XFree 4.4 license and imported the code as it is. Why?
Matthias Scheler: The new XFree86 license is a normal BSD-style license with and advertisement clause. Because most of our own source code uses a similar license, we didn't see any reason not to accept the XFree86 one.
We imported the code because it offered the technically best solution available at that point of time. It fixed many bugs that existed in the previous XFree86 4.x release and offered support for new hardware, which various NetBSD users were waiting for.

The Complete FreeBSD
Luke Mewburn: The NetBSD Foundation license is still based on the 4-clause BSD license. A significant chunk of our codebase is also under 4-clause BSD licenses from other copyright holders. It would be hypocritical of us to not import XFree 4.4 solely on their current license given that it's so close to existing licenses that we use. That's not to say we won't consider changing on technical grounds in the future, just like any other component of our software release.
Why have you registered the "NetBSD" trademark?
Luke Mewburn: To protect the name "NetBSD" from use or abuse by external parties who do not share the goals of the NetBSD Foundation and our members (developers with commit privileges). We are not unique in the open source world for feeling the need to do this; the Linux Mark Institute (LMI) was established a few years ago specifically for providing a means of sublicensing the Linux(R) trademark.
Does this means that since the application was completed, we should always use the trademark symbol after the name?
Luke Mewburn: As "NetBSD" is a registered trademark of the NetBSD Foundation, the "(R)" symbol is more appropriate than "(TM)." The NetBSD Foundation is in the process of composing a trademark usage policy, similar to LMI as mentioned above.
A new logo, the "NetBSD" trademark, and a new major release number: why? Is this a new marketing strategy or a way to make the project look more professional?
Luke Mewburn: Both.
Does the NetBSD Foundation plan to certify the operating system for Common Criteria or other international standards?
Christos Zoulas: Certifications usually cost a lot of money that can be better spent in other places. Of course, we are not going to complain if a corporation who wants NetBSD certified pays for it. Finally, we have not had a certification related question in years, which means that NetBSD users do not care enough about them.
Why did you choose to change the NetBSD version numbering scheme?
Christos Zoulas: There was a lot of confusion between release versions, which were of the form of X.Y.Z (e.g., 1.6.2), and NetBSD current versions, which were of the form X.Y[A-Z]* (e.g., 1.6D). To solve that, we decided to make current X.99.V (e.g., 2.99.15), which is going to be branched to become [X+1].Y.Z (e.g., 3.0.0). This way, all non-current versions of release X will have a version number less than the one of NetBSD-current for that release.
NetBSD 2.0 was released on December 2004. What is the next stable step, 2.0.1, 2.1.0, or both?
Christos Zoulas: 2.0.1 will precede 2.1.0, because there are some pullups from head that are required for 2.1.0. We are scheduling 2.0.1 for the end of February because we need the new build machines online to build the release, and the build machines will be coming online this week. We are scheduling 2.1.0 for the end of March, because of the time it will take to integrate the pullups mentioned above and the ones currently in the queue (more than 100).
Do you plan to modify the release cycle too, maybe to something like one release every six months, as OpenBSD does?
Christos Zoulas: Yes, we are planning to have more frequent releases. We have made a lot of mistakes in the past that have delayed the release schedules, but hopefully we have learned from them. We were very aggressive about committing large sub-system upgrades just before a release, and that added a lot of bugs to the code that needed to be fixed for the release. This not only delays the releases, but also adds extra work, since each bug needs to be tested on head and pulled up via patches by the release engineering group.
Having said that, I don't think that we want to have too-frequent releases, because we don't want to force frequent upgrades on our production users. We believe that production users are better served by a stable platform that gets enhanced with security fixes, bug fixes, and limited scope functionality improvements. This way, a production user can upgrade from 2.0 to 2.0.1 to get security fixes, or to 2.1.0 to get, in addition to security fixes, other bug fixes and functionality improvements. Both paths, though, are well-tested and should have no negative impact.
I think that most software vendors don't have a fixed release schedule these days, and their releases are mostly driven by market needs. We are going to try to have at least one release per year from now on. This is because we don't want the step between releases to become too large, and because it makes release engineering simpler. For example, our current target is to release 3.0 by mid-year.
The Netfilter web site features some pages about all the companies that were not fulfilling the obligations imposed by the GPL and were sued, or that signed a "Declaration to Cease and Desist" from further distributing their product (Access Points) without adhering to the license terms. My own opinion is that most of those companies and a lot of smaller ones around the planet keep choosing Linux and other GPLed software because it's "trendy," not because they have found it better than BSD. Do you think that NetBSD should improve its marketing especially for this type of embedded projects, like AccessPoints?
Luke Mewburn: NetBSD is more than appropriate for use by companies in embedded applications; our license goal permits closed source enhancements, and our portability goal provides a portable operating system that is one of the easiest systems to cross-compile from other operating systems that third-party developers feel more comfortable developing in.
James Chacon: NetBSD follows the BSD copyright and not the GPL (though there are pieces of the toolchain and some userland tools that are GPLed). But as far as the main system itself, it's completely free for any given company to use for whatever purposes they choose without restrictions (within the boundaries of the license depending on 2 vs. 3 clause). As a result, I'd expect companies to continue to take a serious look at all the BSDs when deciding on an OS to use in an embedded product.
Sometimes, I read complaints about the big number of committers in some BSD projects. Could you tell us the current total number for each section (pkgsrc, src, xsrc, docs)? How many of them are really active?
Luke Mewburn: There are approximately 250 people with commit privileges to NetBSD. We don't have a further breakdown for each section, although it would be possible to grab the mailing list archives of the source-changes mailing list and perform your own analysis on it.
James Chacon: While there are a large number of people with commit access to the source tree, it's also the case (at least for NetBSD) that these tend to break into various areas of interest/ability and historically, the number hasn't been an issue.
The largest number of committers we have is probably in the pkgsrc area and even there, problems don't often arise, as changes are coordinated for any large scale modification/additions. With quarterly freezes and releases, it's been a very stable source tree.
As far as the rest of the tree goes, while a specific commit may cause discussion/changes, I've almost never seen any problems arise regardless of the numbers of people with access. In most cases, that ends up as a benefit, with more eyes able to look over a given change and provide feedback.
Hubert Feyrer: After some recent looking at source-changes posts, it can be said that an average of about 90 developers commit to src+xsrc on a regular basis, while there are about 60 people working on pkgsrc. These numbers are per month, and not each developer may commit changes every month (think of people working on modules or package updates and the committing them when ready), so the actual number of active developers is most likely higher--IIRC, the amount of "active" developers per year is something like 250.
What events will feature NetBSD developers in the future?
Luke Mewburn: I expect that NetBSD will have developers and users presenting tutorials and papers at various UNIX and BSD [events] internationally. That has been the situation in the past, and continues to be the case.
Hubert Feyrer: Please check out our Events page:
We try to do booths to display NetBSD, answer questions, and offer limited amounts of merchandising material.

Georgia, Fishing the 'Hooch' Suggestions
I have never fished the Chatahooche (SP?), but am interested. *My Brother lives in Woodstock Ga, I live in Maryville Tn, and the Hooch seems like it has the possibility of being a decent stream as well as being somewhat central to us. *I have read about it in a few magazines, but how much can you trust them, also, if they tell you where to go, the other 500 people who read it may be in the same place. *Not saying they are not accurate, but first hand local knowledge I'll take any day.
Any suggestions on decent stretches to fish (wade, not float), and what time of year to fish them would be much appreciated.
Rock Hopper
Re: Georgia, Fishing the 'Hooch' Suggestions
If you're talking about the Chattahoochee(Hooch for short, no T please. :) ) in town, there are a few access points where you can wade. Of course, all wading is when the generation is OFF. Please, please do not try and wade the hooch when they have the water running. People have drowned while fishing during power generations.
Right behind teh dam is a good place to wade but the rocks there are super-slick. Bring a wading staff. The river here now is full of wild brown trout. They have been reproducing in the river for years and the DNR finally acknowledged this fact a year or two ago. They are mostly small 8-12 inchers with alot of 6-9 inchers too, but there's always the chance of hooking into a 20 incher at any time when you're on the tailwater. ( The hooch also flows through Helen, GA, about 60 miles north of Atlanta)
From the dam down to Bowman's Island you've got midges, bwo's and some caddis in the spring.
*Jones Bridge park is probably the most popular wading area and has as much or more wadable water than the dam.( probably more total water, but some of the wading is tricky due to deep runs and holes scattered around that area - def. be careful because the combination of deep holes and sand can getcha stuck if you're not a little careful) bwo's and caddis rule the day down in this section. #12-#16 caddis and #12-#20 bwo's will serve you well. On weekends here when it's warm, look out for swimmers, dogs and a vast array of floating devices. pontoons, float tubes, rafts, homemade stuff you name it. this is the biggest park on the river.
Island Ford is another place to wade, but it's rocky, deep and the fishing isn't as good IMHO as it is at jones bridge and the dam. Caddis, stones, and streamers work pretty well here.
Which reminds me, you can fish streamers or buggers anywhere on this river and hook into some nice wild fish, some hefty stockers and if you're lucky a big stocker holdover trout or a huge wild brown.
hope this helps some.
Re: Georgia, Fishing the 'Hooch' Suggestions
:-[ I just posted a question yesturday asking about places to fish in north Georgia. I should have read this first. This is helpful imformation for me.

HP, the world's largest supplier of personal computers, confirmed plans to release a tablet based on webOS operating system it acquired along with Palm earlier this year. In addition, the firm said that it would launch a Microsoft Windows 7-based slate in the near future.
"[Tablet business] was a big part of the reason we acquired Palm. You will see us with a Microsoft product out in the near future and a webOS based product in early 2011," said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of the personal systems group at HP, during a conference call with financial analysts.
The information about a slate based on webOS was released earlier this month unofficially. The project is known internally as Hurricane and there are possibilities that Palm started it quite some time ago as an independent company. No technical specifications are known, but since webOS will be used, it is likely that the device will be powered by an ARM-based system-on-chip.
It should be noted that HP also plans to release a slate-type personal computer for enterprises running Windows 7 and also an electronic book reader powered by Google Android. Three tablets from one company seems somewhat excessive, given the fact that they will inevitably compete against each other.
Various manufacturers of personal computers or mobile devices are also gearing up to release their tablets early next year. With three tablets under HP brand due in 2010 or early in 2011 it is evident that HP is very serious about its slate lineup.

By Jessica, Pure Matters
When I have a minor health problem, my first course of action is to Google home remedies for it. Always. If it's not a serious condition, I consider a trip to the doctor a last resort. As I've mentioned before, I have a lot of bizarre health problems, which means I've done not just a lot of Googling, but also a lot of trial-and-error when it comes to home remedies. Luckily, my pantry is usually stocked with everything I need to practice folk medicine at home. Here's a rundown of six common ingredients, what the claims are, and which ones I can vouch for (or against).
Apple Cider Vinegar
The list of claims about apple cider vinegar is a mile long -- so long, in fact, that you have to take most of them with a grain of salt. Sorry, Internet, but I don't think one tablespoon of ACV daily is going to prevent me from ever getting cancer, as nice as that idea may sound. But for just about anything skin-related -- blemishes, dark spots, plantar warts, psoriasis -- it's a miracle tonic. Not to mention acid reflux and heartburn. Here are some of my tried-and-true remedies:
- Heartburn/Acid Reflux: At the first sign of symptoms, drink one tablespoon in eight ounces of water. Repeat until symptoms subside.
- Blemishes/Dark Spots/Psoriasis: Using a Q-tip, dab ACV on affected area before bed and leave it on overnight. You could do it during the day, but then you'd smell like apple cider vinegar.
- Plantar Warts: Moisten a cotton ball with ACV and tape it onto wart for one hour. Do it daily until warts turns black and falls off. I had one on my foot and it was gone in two days using this method.
Basically, anything skin-related gets the apple cider vinegar treatment before anything else. I use the organic, unpasteurized stuff, so I can't speak to the regular grocery-store variety. And consider this remedy doctor-approved. A doctor friend of mine said, "Apple cider vinegar is amazing. Period."
Clove Oil
Hands-down, clove oil is the best remedy for any pain in the mouth -- toothache, gum pain, etc. And it tastes so much better than Anbesol. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence to suggest gargling with it is also good for sore throats, but I've never tried it.
Coconut Oil
Like apple cider vinegar, coconut oil is great for anything skin-related, especially blemishes. It may sound counterintuitive, but it works. I prefer it to ACV because it smells delicious. True story: I actually use it as an overnight face moisturizer in the drier months. An unproven-by-me claim about coconut oil: playing it topically can help fight fungal or viral skin infections.
Everyone knows that ginger ale can help cure a stomachache, but I prefer to go straight to the source. When experiencing nausea, ginger tea is a great cure. I steep about a teaspoon of grated ginger per 8-ounce cup. If the taste is too strong, try adding some raw honey, which is also good for calming an angry stomach.
I don't get sore throats often, but if I do get them, I really get them. And salt is a lifesaver. Dissolving a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and then gargling provides almost instant relief. And though I've never gotten on board with the neti pot, my husband swears that irrigating his nasal passages with salt water every morning keeps him healthy throughout the flu season.
Umeboshi Plums
When I was in culinary school, our instructors let us in on a little secret -- these pickled Asian plums were the best hangover cure ever. Sold in either a paste or whole, they brought relief to many a hungover student who couldn't make it through a day in the kitchen after a night of drinking.
One thing I've found to be true when using home remedies is that they aren't as strong as their over-the-counterparts. So they may take a little longer to work. I tend to think it balances out, as I know I'm not putting anything into my body that will give me any harmful side effects. And if you remember nothing else I've written, remember this: whatever your minor health problem, try apple cider vinegar first.
