Most new parents confess to feeling two equally strong emotions at the birth of their baby: awesome, heart-wrenching love and total terror. It's no wonder why: You suddenly have in your possession a tiny creature whose around-the-clock care is entirely up to you.
Because you've probably never done any of this before, you're bound to make mistakes—but your baby looks so fragile that the idea of error seems disastrous. Even the most calm, cool, and collected mom can get a little flustered. In these moments of panic, remember that even though baby care may be exhausting, it is pretty simple.
Babies need to be fed and held. They need their bottoms cleaned and a safe place to sleep—but that's pretty much all there is to it. There's no one right way to do any of these things because no two babies, and no two families, are the same.
And even though you'll have to wing most of it, a basic understanding of what awaits you will help. So, we consulted pediatric experts from across the country and created your primer on baby care—nothing fancy or complicated, just the basics. These are the facts you need to know to get through the first month or so of baby's life, so take a deep breath and let basic training begin!
|Dealing With Diaper Rash
Avoid diaper rash by changing your baby frequently and allowing her bottom a chance to air out (or pat dry with a tissue). If the area looks red, apply Vaseline or A+D Ointment. This creates a barrier between sensitive skin and the poop and pee. If the rash worsens, use a cream with zinc, such as Desitin, which can help to heal the skin. Doctors no longer recommend baby powder, which can irritate baby's lungs, but if you do want to pat some on, be sure it is talc-free.

Doctors no longer recommend baby powder, which can irritate baby's lungs, but if you do want to pat some on, be sure it is talc-free.
Have Everything You Need Within Reach
This means a few diapers, wipes, diaper ointment and cream, and a change of clothes for baby, in case you discover leakage. Never leave your baby alone on an elevated surface, because even before he starts rolling, he can scoot and squirm around. The #1 changing rule: Keep one hand on the baby at all times.
You Don't Need Wipes For Pee Diapers
You don't have to worry about wiping baby down after a pee, Jana says, because urine rarely irritates the skin, and because today's diapers are so absorbent, the skin hardly comes into contact with urine anyway.
Cleaning Girls
When you're changing your girl's stinky diaper (wiping front to back, of course), be sure to clean off any poop in the folds of the labia. But don't worry about removing the totally normal white discharge that is often found there, Jana says.
The First #2
Baby's first bowel movement, called meconium, will resemble black tar. Don't be alarmed—this is normal.
Cord Care
You'll be relieved to know that you don't actually have to do anything to care for your baby's umbilical cord stump, which should fall off between two and three weeks after birth. You can use an alcohol swab daily around the cord stump to help dry it out more quickly, but Swanson says that's not necessary as long as you keep the area dry by giving sponge baths and rolling the top of the diaper down.
When the cord does detach, it can sometimes get a little stinky, Swanson says, and you may notice a yellowish discharge or a little blood streaking—all of this is a normal part of the healthy tissue dying off and scabbing. But if the area continues to smell and discharge, won't stop bleeding, or the skin of the belly around the cord looks red or infected, you'll need to call your doctor.
It Gets Easier
Breastfeeding ends up being easy, convenient, and deeply satisfying but it doesn't usually start off that way, Jana says, so you shouldn't feel as if you're failing just because neither you nor your baby takes to it instantly. For most new moms, nursing involves hard work and discomfort at first, but within a few weeks, you'll start to see how much it pays off.
Nurse Early and Often
Babies are unusually alert immediately following birth, so take advantage by nursing within the first hour of birth. In the first week, try nursing whenever baby is awake, but at least every two hours—this helps trigger your milk to come in between day two and five.
After a couple weeks, you will start to notice more of a routine where you're feeding every 2 to 3 hours, with one longer stretch of 4 or more hours (hopefully at night), which boils down to 8 to 12 feedings in a 24-hour period. Your milk production works according to supply and demand, so it is the act of your baby sucking at the breast (demand) that activates milk production (supply).
1 Compress your breast between your thumb and forefinger to create a shape that mimics the shape of baby's mouth.
2 Stimulate your baby to "root," by tickling her mouth with the nipple (bringing her head to your breast, not the breast to head). This should cause her to open wide.
3 Once her mouth opens really wide, bring her head closer to your breast, and put it fairly deep into baby's mouth.
4 When her mouth closes and she begins to suck, baby's gums should be around the areola, not gripping onto the nipple.
5 If baby does grip the nipple, immediately use your finger to gently ease open her gums and try again for a proper latch. Getting it right from the beginning will prevent you from having sore, cracked, and—yikes!—bleeding nipples.
Circumcision Care
As if there isn't enough to tend to in the diaper area, if your baby is circumcised, you'll have to care for that as well. Luckily, the skin heals very quickly, usually within a week or so, and caring for it is simple. Your main responsibility will be to keep the area clean and dry and to insure that it doesn't get rubbed up against, which is why you'll apply gobs—yes, gobs—of Vaseline until he's healed.
In the hospital, your baby will have a layer of gauze over the Vaseline, but that's optional once you're home, Lonzer says. She also warns parents that it is totally normal for the area to be red initially and that once the redness subsides, you should prepare to see some yellow crustiness, between the third and fifth day after. And if you notice any bleeding, swelling, fluid-filled sores, or fever, give your pediatrician a call.
Bottle Feeding
Wait to Buy Bottles
There are a million kinds of bottles and nipples on the market, but what works best depends on you and your baby. Most parents look for a bottle designed to prevent gassiness, such as angled bottles or ones with disposable liners. These can be convenient, but you can keep baby from swallowing air by just keeping an ordinary bottle at an angle so that the whole nipple is filled with milk. Jana does recommend choosing a bottle that is free of bisphenol-A (BPA).
No Nuking Baby's Bottle
The microwave is great for heating grown-up meals but it should not be used to warm up a baby's bottle. It creates hot spots, and it will also destroy valuable antibodies in breast milk. Use a bottle warmer or just drop the bottle in a pot of hot water for a few minutes.
Toss Leftovers
Be conservative when you fill baby's bottle, because after she's done eating, you'll have to throw away whatever's left in the bottle within an hour of starting the feeding. This is because bacteria from your baby's mouth can multiply in the milk or formula and make your baby ill if she sucks from it again, Jana says. Even if your baby hasn't taken a sip from a bottle you've prepared, if you've left it out of the fridge for more than two hours, it needs to be tossed.
Nipple Confusion
This term can be somewhat misleading. According to Jana, sometimes babies who haven't fully gotten the hang of nursing yet will show a preference for a bottle, because bottle-feeding is easier for babies to master at first (think of sucking from a straw vs. lapping milk). So her advice is: Don't introduce a bottle to a baby that you want to breastfeed until the nursing goes smoothly for a week or so.
Formula Feeding
If you're feeding your baby with formula, you can expect at least five pee diapers from the first day of life, Jana says, and you likely won't see that seedy mustard poop, but something more pasty that comes in a range of colors. When it comes to preparing the formula, there are a few tricks of the trade.
Finding a Formula
There are dozens of brands of formula and more specialized categories available including soy, hydrolysate, organic, prebiotics, and formulas made for preemies. Unless your baby is premature or there's a history of formula intolerance in the family, start with a standard cow's milk formula and take it from there, says Deb Lonzer, M.D., chair of the department of regional pediatrics at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital in Ohio.
Just be sure the formula you choose is iron-fortified and look for something that contains DHA and AHA—fatty acids that some studies show lead to better vision and higher IQ in babies. If you're baby isn't doing well on one kind of formula you can always switch, but Lonzer encourages parents to discuss it with a pediatrician first.
Mix With Care
Pay attention to recommended ratios whenever you make a bottle. Formula that's too diluted or too concentrated can cause severe medical problems for your baby.
Careful With Tap Water
Tap water should be just fine to use in a formula bottle, and there's no need to boil it first. But you do need to make sure that your water does not contain added fluoride, because before 6 months of age, fluoride can actually harm your baby's developing teeth. If your tap water contains fluoride, buy distilled purified or de-mineralized water. When baby is older than 6 months, use tap water that contains 0.3 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride.
Cradle Cap
Babies tend to get the most cradle cap between weeks 4 and 8, and you may see the flakes not just on the scalp but on eyebrows, behind the ears, and the base of the nose. In these instances, Swanson recommends removing the flakes so it doesn't spread, and to do this, cover your baby's scalp with olive oil or baby oil, let it soak in for about 15 minutes, then remove the scales gently with fingers or a baby brush, then wash baby's head with mild shampoo. Don't fret if some hair comes off along with the flakes. Chances are, once you remove the cradle cap, it'll be gone for good.
It's a good idea to try burping when you switch breasts, or in the middle of a bottle, and then again at the end of the feeding. Most babies burp within the first couple minutes of back patting. If your baby hasn't burped after 4 to 5 minutes, she probably won't, so just give it a break and try later. Patting should be less forceful than a clap but more then a caress, and don't be surprised if the burp is accompanied by some spit-up, Swanson says.
Three Burping Positions
(1) In the traditional burping position, hold your baby facing you, against your chest, with his chin above your shoulder.
(2) Many parents feel more comfortable sitting their baby upright on their lap with one hand under his chin, and the other hand free to pat.
(3) You can also try laying your baby on his belly across your lap, which may help things along by compressing the stomach slightly.
In the first few weeks, it's a very good bet that your baby will respond well to some combination of the following soothing techniques, which are all more or less based on recreating the gentle, comfortable in-utero experience, Lonzer says.
Babies adore skin-to-skin contact for many reasons, but an important one is that your body has a lovely warming effect and scent. Swaddling your baby, which keeps him in a tight, warm bundle, can also be very calming for him.
White Noise
In the womb, the steady sound of your heartbeat and the muffled noise of the blood rushing through your body provided a perfect blend of white noise to lull your baby. Once he's born, you can simulate this by running the vacuum cleaner, washing machine, blow dryer, or by singing or making a gentle "shhh shhhh" sound softly to your baby.
For nine months, your baby was gently bounced as you walked around, so it's not surprising that small, repetitive movements are an important piece in the soothing puzzle—whether it's bouncing, carrying, or taking your baby for a ride in the stroller. When you don't have the stamina to do the heavy lifting yourself, try a bouncy seat.
As long as you provide a safe sleeping environment for your newborn—on her back, away from blankets, stuffed animals, and other suffocation hazards—there's really nothing you can do when putting her to sleep that will damage the choices you make about bedtime later on, Swanson says. But when your baby's about a month old, it is a good idea to start putting her down when she looks drowsy but before she's entirely asleep so she can learn to self soothe.
In the first few weeks, you can help your newborn get her nights and days straightened out, Swanson says. As your baby starts to replace tiny catnaps with longer periods of 4 to 5 hours, you may find that these stretches are occurring during the day and, just as you're winding down at night, she's winding up. To turn this reversal around, you need to provide cues that teach your baby to sleep at night and stay up during the day.
For naps, put her to sleep in a sunny, active room of the house to keep the naps to less than three hours at a time. At night, keep the lights off, stay quiet, and tend to your baby's needs in a way that is boring and brief. Eventually, she'll kick the nocturnal habit.
Taking Temperature
In the first two months, you'll need to pay close attention to your baby's temperature, Swanson says, and call your pediatrician right away if the temperature rises above 100 degrees F. Because an accurate reading is so important in the first few months, most pediatricians recommend using a rectal thermometer, which is very reliable. You'll probably want someone to hold baby's legs so you can focus on advancing the thermometer in just a little, placing only the tip in the rectum. The prospect of this is sure to freak you out big time, but there are many digital rectal thermometers for newborns, like Safety 1st Gentle-Read Rectal Thermometer, which takes 5 seconds and has guards so that you can't over-insert it, so it's a perfectly painless process for you both.
Sponge Baths
Place a basin of warm water, a few washcloths, a diaper, and a change of clothes next to the towel that you'll lay your baby on. You don't need to use soap, but if you'd like to, remember that less is more for sensitive baby skin, so use just a dime-sized amount. Just wipe your baby down with a damp washcloth, and if you're using soap, be sure to wipe gently with another clean, damp cloth. You can use a cotton ball dampened with warm water to wipe each eye, from the inside out.
Tub Baths
Once the cord falls off and your baby's circumcision heals, give tub baths two or three times a week. Your primary job is to keep baby's head well above the water, which shouldn't be hard if you use 3 to 4 inches of water and get an infant tub. You will want to pay special attention to your baby's skin folds, starting in the armpits and groin, then the folds in the neck and the thigh, and the diaper area last. And remember, never leave your baby unattended in the
water, even for a second.
Turn up the heat and close all windows and doors so drafts don't chill baby.
Use your finger in a damp baby facecloth to gently massage and clean baby's gums and tongue—once each day.
And there you have it. Everything you need to know about the care of your baby, top to bottom—with particular emphasis on the bottom. It may seem like a lot to take in, but remember that you'll be doing all of these things over and over again, until you could do them one-handed, blind-folded, and in under 30 seconds while making dinner and opening your mail. You will find that the learning curve in parenting is the steepest you've ever encountered, taking you from novice to pro in a matter of days. Make no mistake, you'll be a leading authority on the totally unique little person that is your baby—that expertise requires
absolutely no training.

Any recommendations for controlling my frizz this fall?
A great, easy remedy to keep frizz at bay is to use a non-lather shampoo – not [just one that is] sodium lauryl sulfate free. This will give a more gradual cleanse and will keep frizz down and your curls nice and hydrated. … Protein, moisture, and natural oils are also great for curly hair; either one or all three. —Amy Bush, founder and stylist at curl-conscious Ambushed Salon in the Short North
Any new products you're loving or tried-and-true tricks you'd like to pass on regarding curly hair?
Make sure you are visiting a stylist who understands your curly hair needs and can give you the best product recommendations for curly hair. Ask if it's best for your hair to air dry or diffuse. One of our favorite new products is FAR Botanicals' alcohol-free Cojoba gel. We can barely keep it on the shelves! This light and creamy styling gel also doubles as a moisturizing curl definer. Cojoba is packed with natural ingredients and has excellent hold without making your hair sticky, greasy or flaky. —Amy Bush
How can I trust that the products I use are environmentally or ethically safe?
If a product does not state that it is free of things like parabens, sulfates and animal testing, it may be safe to say that the company's ethics are not where we need them to be. Shopping for your products at a place that supports these ethics can be helpful because it is likely they have done the research for you and have people who have been trained on this information, such as at a natural foods store or a more holistic salon or spa. These places can be a great resource for finding the truth about questionable ingredients. —Melanie Guzzo, a stylist at Virtue, a vegan salon in Clintonville
How can dudes prevent razor burn if they regularly shave their faces at home?
The skin and hair on the face need to be prepped before the shave; this is very important. Use a hot towel on the face for 30 seconds. Then, apply lather with a traditional mug and brush and massage into your face. Apply a hot towel again for 30 seconds then reapply lather. These things will prep the skin and soften the hair appropriately and will give best conditions for a shave. Shave with a blade that is changed out often — dull blades cause the worst ingrown hairs because of tearing. Always use aftershave because it prevents irritation. —Mitch Geiser, barber at Vice Barber in Clintonville

Vos receives John Calvin award
Dr. Ron Vos, professor of agriculture and environmental studies at Dordt College, was named the 2010 John Calvin Award recipient. The award, which comes with a privately-funded $500 honorarium, is presented annually to a Dordt College faculty member whose teaching demonstrates ability and commitment to articulating a Calvinistic perspective.
An alumnus who nominated Dr. Vos said he was
"committed to applying over and over again what it means to live out
our daily lives in a Christ-like way. He challenged me to think
deeply about issues I have never thought about before. Most of all,
he practices what he preaches." Another remarked that Vos
"exemplified what it means to be a Christian first and a
professor/agronomist/husband hand-in-hand."

Dordt Nursing Students in Netherlands
Nursing Pinning Ceremony
New Staff Members
Paul Otto Honored
Graduate Education 2010
Dordt nursing students intern in The Netherlands
During their four-month stay in the Netherlands,
they learned to say "Goedemorgen!" but often heard "Good morning!" in return—from staff
and even some of those living at "Het Zonnehuis"—an assisted-living
/advanced-care facility in Stadshagen, near Zwolle. Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (BSN) students Melodie Vanden Born and Nicole
Top, who lived with Dutch host families in Zwolle from January
through April, were back to Dordt College's campus in time for their
pinning ceremony and graduation in early May.
They were first of a kind for the Gereformeerde Hogeschool (GH) in Zwolle, with whom Dordt College has a reciprocal agreement. "They were our first foreign interns," reported Robertha Langenberg, the GH coordinator for healthcare education. "Every year we send scores of our own students to other countries, but we have never hosted foreign nursing students here. It took a little doing, but with arrangements now in place, we look forward to continuing this initiative."
For more about the nursing students internship, click here.
The Dordt College Nursing Department held a pinning ceremony on
Thursday, May 6, at which eleven Bachelor of Science in Nursing
(BSN) students were presented a nursing pin and white New Testaments
from the Gideon Society.
The keynote address was presented by Gloria Zylstra, RN and wife of
Dordt's president, Dr. Carl E. Zylstra. Zylstra has been a nurse for
over 40 years, and was wearing the nursing pin presented to her when
she became a nurse. She challenged the new nurses to practice
compassion and love in Jesus' name, and encouraged them to be
servants of God, which will make them great nurses.

New Staff Members
Dordt is pleased to announce the hiring of three alumni to fill
various staff positions at the college. They will begin their
responsibilities immediately.
Brandon Huisman will join the admissions staff as an admissions counselor on July 1, 2010. Brandon majored in business
administration with an emphasis in marketing, graduating last month
with his Bachelor of Arts degree. Brandon is originally from Orange
City and currently lives in Sioux Center with his wife, Erica, who
also just graduated from Dordt.
Dordt College alumnus Paul Otto (Class of '87) was honored as George Fox University's top undergraduate researcher for the 2009-10 academic year. He's been a professor of history there for eight years, and has been chair of the Department of History and Political Science since 2005. He previously taught at Calvin College and Dordt College.
Otto was recipient of the school's Undergraduate Faculty Research and Scholarship Award, a $6,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to conduct research this summer on wampum and its role in European-Native American relations in early America. He also recently published a book, "The Dutch-Munsee Encounter in America: The Struggle for Sovereignty in the Hudson Valley," that won the Hendricks Award for the best work on the Dutch experience in early America.
For the complete release click here.
As another school year wraps up, another session of Dordt College's Graduate Education Program gears up! In a few short weeks, PK-12 teachers will be gathering on Dordt's campus as they learn more about what is means to teach in a distinctly Christian manner. The program is designed to fit into the life of the in-service teacher – even if you live at a distance from Dordt – through the hybrid course design as well as through several completely online offerings. Graduates of Dordt's M.Ed. program are given the tools to translate this concept of teaching Christianly into their classroom, school, and community.
Eleven courses are on the menu for this summer, ranging from Inclusion of Students with Special Needs to a new course on Historical Topics for Middle School and High School Mathematics Teachers. Registrations are still being accepted.
Dordt College's Education Faculty is also offering professional development workshops in the areas of Curriculum Mapping, Mentoring, Creating Tiered Lessons, Response-to-Intervention, and Critical Lenses for Evaluating Children's Literature. Further information and registration for these courses can be found here. These are open to any and all teachers who want to add new strategies to their teacher tool bag. Come join the discussion!

Nvidia Corp., a leading supplier of graphics processors and chipsets, confirmed at a recent quarter conference that it plans to release a core-logic with built-in DirectX 10-compliant graphics core. Despite expectations, the new chipset will be aimed at processors by Advanced Micro Devices and will sport some new features besides graphics core too.
"I would expect that Nvidia will have DirectX10 and high-definition video in a motherboard GPU earlier than any other company in the world. That would be my expectation. So that ought to be, I hope, this year," said Jen-Hsun Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, at the most recent conference call with analysts.
Following acquisition of ATI Technologies by AMD, it was widely expected that Nvidia would refocus its chipset business on the market of Intel processors, as AMD has much smaller microprocessor market share and it will inevitably try to maximize sales of its own-brand chipsets, which, as a consequence, will affect sales of Nvidia's core-logic products dramatically. But Nvidia seems to think that there is still enough space for it on the market of AMD processors and prepares code-named MCP78 offering, its first core-logic that sports built-in DirectX 10 integrated graphics processor (IGP).
Nvidia's MCP78 will feature Hyper-Transport 3.0 bus as well as PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for add-in graphics cards, two leading-edge interconnection technologies. The new graphics core will, apart from DirectX 10, sport third-generation PureVideo HD engine that accelerates H.264 and VC-1 as well as D-Sub, DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI and TV-out outputs. Like all Nvidia's core-logic sets, the novelty is also projected to support up to six Serial ATA-300 connectors with RAID capabilities, two Parallel ATA connectors, Gigabit Ethernet controller, 12 USB 2.0 ports and so on. With the new chipset the company will add pressure on AMD's in-house designed IGPs.
Nvidia plans to start mass production of the new core-logic in October using 55nm or 65nm process technology, according to Nvidia's chief executive.
"All of our new designs are going to 65nm and 55nm," Mr. Huang said at the recent conference call.
Nvidia officials did not comment on the specifications of the product or its production timeframes.

By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
PORTALES — Joel McMullen feels pretty good about his Eastern New Mexico University cross country program.
The Greyhounds and Zias hope to make some noise in the Lone Star Conference and in South Central Region competition this fall. They open their season by hosting the Mike Boit Invitational on Friday at Ned Houk Park, north of Clovis.
McMullen said the men, who finished fourth in the LSC and ninth in South Central Region competition last fall, have a good chance of moving up. They lost only one runner, Orlando Sanchez, to graduation.
"It's the best team I've had since I've been here," said McMullen, starting his third season at ENMU. "My expectations are high for the guys. I think they'll be a lot better than last year."
The Hounds return their top runner, sophomore Felix Boit of Kenya (his father was a standout at Eastern in the 1970s). They also have added junior Nimrod Lelei, another Kenyan who transferred from Wayland Baptist and "beat Felix every time they raced" last season, McMullen noted.
There are no seniors on the men's squad.
"We're going to really work hard," said junior Jason Garcia of Alamogordo, beginning his third year in the program. "I'm really confident with all the guys."
McMullen said the Hounds have a chance to be in the top three in both the LSC and the region. ENMU, ranked ninth of 22 teams in the region coming in, needs a top-three finish to make it to the NCAA Division II nationals.
"I feel like we should make a real push in the conference," he said. "If we stay healthy, there's no reason we can't try to get one of the top three spots (in the region)."
The women also lost only one runner to graduation, Lynnae Chavez, and McMullen expects improvement.
"I think they'll do this year what the guys did last year," he said. "If they can do that, it would be a tremendous accomplishment."
Joyce Doan, a senior from Federal Way, Wash., and sophomore Stacy Salazar of Albuquerque are probably the Zias' top two returnees. Another senior, Laura Rivera of El Paso, is returning after missing two seasons with a knee injury.
"We have a solid top seven this year, which is something we've never had," Doan said. "I feel like if we keep making improvement, we can have an outstanding regional (meet) and take it beyond that.
"This is my last season, and I want to see the girls do good. We've worked hard the past couple of years, and I'd really like to go out on a high note."

John's goal in writing this gospel was so that others who were not witnesses to the Risen Christ would believe and thereby have life everlasting. Jesus was letting the disciples and everyone else know that it would all be okay. The Holy Spirit would be with Christ's followers as they were to go out and spread the good news. Believers are a team and all have that same goal. That doesn't mean we should lock ourselves in as the disciples had done, but rather we should reach out and strive for that same goal for Jesus had said, "As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you".
God of grace, as we go about the toils of each day, keep our eyes on the empty tomb and the promise that Christ brings. Guide us, O Lord, to live our lives so that others will know that promise too. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Worship services at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Runge begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday mornings. Pastor Randal Bruno and the congregation invite you to join us in praising and worshiping our Risen Savior.

Understanding the Linux Kernel
This excerpt from Understanding the Linux Kernel by Daniel P. Bovet and Marco Cesati explains what happens right after users have switched on their computers, that is, how a Linux kernel image is copied into memory and executed. In short, we discuss how the kernel, and thus the whole system, is "bootstrapped."
Traditionally, the term bootstrap refers to a person who tries to stand up by pulling her own boots. In operating systems, the term denotes bringing at least a portion of the operating system into main memory and having the processor execute it. It also denotes the initialization of kernel data structures, the creation of some user processes, and the transfer of control to one of them.
Computer bootstrapping is a tedious, long task, since initially nearly every hardware device including the RAM is in a random, unpredictable state. Moreover, the bootstrap process is highly dependent on the computer architecture; as usual, we refer to IBM's PC architecture in this appendix.
The moment after a computer is powered on, it is practically useless because the RAM chips contain random data and no operating system is running. To begin the boot, a special hardware circuit raises the logical value of the RESET pin of the CPU. After RESET is thus asserted, some registers of the processor (including
cs and
eip) are set to fixed values, and the code found at physical address
0xfffffff0 is executed. This address is mapped by the hardware to some read-only, persistent memory chip, a kind of memory often called ROM (read-only memory). The set of programs stored in ROM is traditionally called BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), since it includes several interrupt-driven low-level procedures used by some operating systems, including Microsoft's MS-DOS, to handle the hardware devices that make up the computer.
Once initialized, Linux does not make any use of BIOS but provides its own device driver for every hardware device on the computer. In fact, the BIOS procedures must be executed in real mode, while the kernel executes in protected mode, so they cannot share functions even if that would be beneficial.
BIOS uses real mode addresses because they are the only ones available when the computer is turned on. A real mode address is composed of a
seg segment and an
off offset; the corresponding physical address is given by
off. As a result, no global descriptor table (GDT), local descriptor table (LDT), or paging table is needed by the CPU addressing circuit to translate a logical address into a physical one. Clearly, the code that initializes the GDT, LDT, and paging tables must run in real mode.
Linux is forced to use BIOS in the bootstrapping phase, when it must retrieve the kernel image from disk or from some other external device. The BIOS bootstrap procedure essentially performs the following four operations:
Executes a series of tests on the computer hardware, in order to establish which devices are present and whether they are working properly. This phase is often called POST (power-on self-test). During this phase, several messages, such as the BIOS version banner, are displayed.
Initializes the hardware devices. This phase is crucial in modern PCI-based architectures, since it guarantees that all hardware devices operate without conflicts on the IRQ lines and I/O ports. At the end of this phase, a table of installed PCI devices is displayed.
Searches for an operating system to boot. Actually, depending on the BIOS setting, the procedure may try to access (in a predefined, customizable order) the first sector (boot sector) of any floppy disk, any hard disk, and any CD-ROM in the system.
As soon as a valid device is found, copies the contents of its first sector into RAM, starting from physical address
0x00007c00, then jumps into that address and executes the code just loaded.
The rest of this article takes you from the most primitive starting state to the full glory of a running Linux system.
The boot loader is the program invoked by the BIOS to load the image of an operating system kernel into RAM. Let us briefly sketch how boot loaders work in IBM's PC architecture.
In order to boot from a floppy disk, the instructions stored in its first sector are loaded in RAM and executed; these instructions copy all the remaining sectors containing the kernel image into RAM.
Booting from a hard disk is done differently. The first sector of the hard disk, named the master boot record (MBR), includes the partition table and a small program, which loads the first sector of the partition containing the operating system to be started. Some operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 98, identify this partition by means of an active flag included in the partition table; following this approach, only the operating system whose kernel image is stored in the active partition can be booted. As we shall see later, Linux is more flexible since it replaces the rudimentary program included in the MBR with a sophisticated program called LILO that allows users to select the operating system to be booted.
The only way to store a Linux kernel on a single floppy disk is to compress the kernel image. As we shall see, compression is done at compile time and decompression by the loader.
If the Linux kernel is loaded from a floppy disk, the boot loader is quite simple. It is coded in the
arch/i386/boot/bootsect.S assembly language file. When a new kernel image is produced by compiling the kernel source, the executable code yielded by this assembly language file is placed at the beginning of the kernel image file. Thus, it is very easy to produce a bootable floppy containing the Linux kernel. The floppy can be created by copying the kernel image starting from the first sector of the disk. When the BIOS loads the first sector of the floppy disk, it actually copies the code of the boot loader.
The boot loader, which is invoked by the BIOS by jumping to physical address
0x00007c00, performs the following operations:
Moves itself from address
0x00007c00 to address
Sets up the real mode stack, from address
0x00003ff4. As usual, the stack will grow toward lower addresses.
Sets up the disk parameter table, used by the BIOS to handle the floppy device driver.
Invokes a BIOS procedure to display a "Loading" message.
Invokes a BIOS procedure to load the
setup( ) code of the kernel image from the floppy disk and puts it in RAM starting from address
Invokes a BIOS procedure to load the rest of the kernel image from the floppy disk and puts the image in RAM starting from either low address
0x00010000 (for small kernel images compiled with
make zImage) or high address
0x00100000 (for big kernel images compiled with
bzImage). In the following discussion, we will say that the kernel image is "loaded low" or "loaded high" in RAM, respectively. Support for big kernel images was introduced quite recently: While it uses essentially the same booting scheme as the older one, it places data in different physical memory addresses to avoid problems with the ISA hole mentioned in the section "Reserved Page Frames" in Chapter 2.
Jumps to the
setup( ) code.
In most cases, the Linux kernel is loaded from a hard disk, and a two-stage boot loader is required. The most commonly used Linux boot loader on Intel systems is named LILO (LInux LOader); corresponding programs exist for other architectures. LILO may be installed either on the MBR, replacing the small program that loads the boot sector of the active partition, or in the boot sector of a (usually active) disk partition. In both cases, the final result is the same: When the loader is executed at boot time, the user may choose which operating system to load.
The LILO boot loader is broken into two parts, since otherwise it would be too large to fit into the MBR. The MBR or the partition boot sector includes a small boot loader, which is loaded into RAM starting from address
0x00007c00 by the BIOS. This small program moves itself to the address
0x0009a000, sets up the real mode stack (ranging from
0x0009b000 to
0x0009a200), and loads the second part of the LILO boot loader into RAM starting from address
0x0009b000. In turn, this latter program reads a map of available operating systems from disk and offers the user a prompt so she can choose one of them. Finally, after the user has chosen the kernel to be loaded (or let a time-out elapse so that LILO chooses a default), the boot loader may either copy the boot sector of the corresponding partition into RAM and execute it or directly copy the kernel image into RAM.
Assuming that a Linux kernel image must be booted, the LILO boot loader, which relies on BIOS routines, performs essentially the same operations as the boot loader integrated into the kernel image described in the previous section about floppy disks. The loader displays the "Loading Linux" message; then it copies the integrated boot loader of the kernel image to address
0x00090000, the
setup( ) code to address
0x00090200, and the rest of the kernel image to address
0x00010000 or
0x00100000. Then it jumps to the
setup( ) code.
The code of the
setup( ) assembly language function is placed by the linker immediately after the integrated boot loader of the kernel, that is, at offset
0x200 of the kernel image file. The boot loader can thus easily locate the code and copy it into RAM starting from physical address
setup( ) function must initialize the hardware devices in the computer and set up the environment for the execution of the kernel program. Although the BIOS already initialized most hardware devices, Linux does not rely on it but reinitializes the devices in its own manner to enhance portability and robustness. Essentially,
setup( ) performs the following operations:
Invokes a BIOS procedure to find out the amount of RAM available in the system.
Sets the keyboard repeat delay and rate. (When the user keeps a key pressed past a certain amount of time, the keyboard device sends the corresponding keycode over and over to the CPU.)
Initializes the video adapter card.
Reinitializes the disk controller and determines the hard disk parameters.
Checks for an IBM Micro Channel bus (MCA).
Checks for a PS/2 pointing device (bus mouse).
Checks for Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS support.
If the kernel image was loaded low in RAM (at physical address
0x00010000), moves it to physical address
0x00001000. Conversely, if the kernel image was loaded high in RAM,
setup does not move it. This step is necessary because, in order to be able to store the kernel image on a floppy disk and to save time while booting, the kernel image stored on disk is compressed, and the decompression routine needs some free space to use as a temporary buffer following the kernel image in RAM.
Sets up a provisional interrupt descriptor table (IDT) and a provisional global descriptor table (GDT).
Resets the floating point unit (FPU), if any.
Reprograms the Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) and maps the 16 hardware interrupts (IRQ lines) to the range of vectors from 32 to 47. The kernel must perform this step because the BIOS erroneously maps the hardware interrupts in the range from 0 to 15, which is already used for CPU exceptions.
Switches the CPU from real mode to protected mode by setting the
PE bit in the
cr0 status register. As explained in the section "Kernel Page Tables" in Chapter 2, the provisional kernel page tables contained in
swapper_pg_dir and
pg0 identically map the linear addresses to the same physical addresses. Therefore, the transition from real mode to protected mode goes smoothly.
Jumps to the
startup_32( ) assembly language function.

Understanding the Linux Kernel
There are two different
startup_32( ) functions; the one we refer to here is coded in the
arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S file. After
setup( ) terminates, the function has been moved either to physical address
0x00100000 or to physical address
0x00001000, depending on whether the kernel image was loaded high or low in RAM.
This function performs the following operations:
Initializes the segmentation registers and a provisional stack.
Fills the area of uninitialized data of the kernel identified by the
_edata and
_end symbols with zeros.
Invokes the
decompress_kernel( ) function to decompress the kernel image. The "Uncompressing Linux . . . " message is displayed first. After the kernel image has been decompressed, the "O K, booting the kernel" message is shown. If the kernel image was loaded low, the decompressed kernel is placed at physical address
0x00100000. Otherwise, if the kernel image was loaded high, the decompressed kernel is placed in a temporary buffer located after the compressed image. The decompressed image is then moved into its final position, which starts at physical address
Jumps to physical address
The decompressed kernel image begins with another
startup_32( ) function included in the
arch/i386/kernel/head.S file. Using the same name for both the functions does not create any problems (besides confusing our readers), since both functions are executed by jumping to their initial physical addresses.
The second
startup_32( ) function essentially sets up the execution environment for the first Linux process (process 0). The function performs the following operations:
Initializes the segmentation registers with their final values.
Sets up the kernel mode stack for process 0.
setup_idt( ) to fill the IDT with null interrupt handlers.
Puts the system parameters obtained from the BIOS and the parameters passed to the operating system into the first page frame.
Identifies the model of the processor.
Loads the
gdtr and
idtr registers with the
addresses of the GDT and IDT tables.
Jumps to the
start_kernel( ) function.
start_kernel( ) function completes the initialization of the Linux kernel. Nearly every kernel component is initialized by this function; we mention just a few of them:
The page tables are initialized by invoking the
paging_init( ) function.
The page descriptors are initialized by the
mem_init( ) function.
The final initialization of the IDT is performed by invoking
trap_init( ) and
init_IRQ( ).
The slab allocator is initialized by the
mem_cache_init( ) and
kmem_cache_sizes_init( ) functions.
The system date and time are initialized by the
time_init( ) function.
The kernel thread for process 1 is created by invoking the
kernel_thread( ) function. In turn, this kernel thread creates the other kernel threads and executes the
/sbin/init program.
Besides the "Linux version 2.2.14 . . . " message, which is displayed right after the beginning of
start_kernel( ), many other messages are displayed in this last phase, both by the init functions and by the kernel threads. At the end, the familiar login prompt appears on the console (or in the graphical screen if the X Window System is launched at startup), telling the user that the Linux kernel is up and running.

Product Description:
Being a powerful, long acting testosterone blend, the effect of Omnadren is of course quite comparable to that of Sustanon (except that its release time is closer to cypionate or enanthate). It is similarly a powerful androgen, capable of providing great gains in mass and strength. Due of the high level of water retention associated with testosterone, Omnadren is really only applicable for bulking purposes. While it is very effective alone, it is also combined often with a number of other steroids depending on the desired result. Many athletes prefer to combine Omnadren with a strong anabolic like Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise for example, in an attempt to lower the overall testosterone dosage and run a more quality mass building cycle. On the other hand, power-lifters and those looking for dramatic gains in mass and strength (regardless of quality) may stack Omnadren with heavy orals such as Anadrol or Dianabol. Here of course the strength and weight gain should be even more extreme, although androgenic/estrogenic side effects are expected to be as well.
Although Omnadren stays active in the body for about two weeks, it is generally injected on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. A dosage of 250-750mg per week is more than sufficient to achieve great results. Some take advantage of the very low price of Omnadren (Europe) and take excessively large amounts. Beyond 750mg or 1000mg weekly added side effects will no doubt be greatly outweighing growth, so there is usually little need for such excess. With this drug we really don't want to mistake water bloat for muscle growth. And while a number of adventurous women do experiment with testosterone products, Omnadren is probably not a good choice. The long action of this compound, mixed with the highly androgenic nature of testosterone, makes a poor combination. Virilization symptoms can develop quite easily with a strong androgen, making a long acting product like Omnadren notably dangerous should problems become evident. Testosterone propionate is a much better choice should an androgen like this be absolutely necessary, as it will give the user much greater control over her blood testosterone level.

A police officer in central Minnesota has died in what authorities are calling an ambush killing.
Stearns County Sheriff John Sanner says Cold Spring police Officer Tom Decker was shot twice late Thursday. Sanner says he was responding to a call from a concerned family member about a man in Cold Spring who might be suicidal.
Sanner said Friday that Decker died at the scene.
Bureau of Criminal Apprehension assistant superintendent Drew Evans says it was an ambush.
Thirty-four-year-old Ryan Michael Larson of Cold Spring was arrested at the scene. The county prosecutor is reviewing the case for charges.
Decker's chief, Phil Jones, called the six-year veteran the department jokester. He says Decker leaves behind a wife and four young children.
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton released the following statement regarding Officer Decker's death:
"Cold Springs Police Officer Tom Decker was senselessly murdered last night, while acting in the line of duty. On behalf of the people of Minnesota, I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and to the Cold Springs Police Department for their tragic loss of an outstanding officer, father, and friend. Officer Decker died, while protecting his fellow citizens. For his heroism, we will be forever grateful."

The big question last week was "would the Banquete Bulldogs give the Bobcats a district fight like a year ago?"
Friday night, the answer was a resounding "No." The Bobcats bludgeoned the Bulldogs with 523 total offensive yards, holding Banquete to only 136, and the Bobcats were on their way to a 55-7 victory.
The Cats struck first with Travis Quintanilla hurling a 53-yard touchdown pass to Dana Franklin.
The Bulldogs snuck a touchdown to tie it up at 7-7, but were never heard from again.
That's when the Bobcat scoring machine started rolling. Isaiah Perez bounded into the end zone from 21 yards out, and JB Brown visited Touchdownland from 9 yards out to make the score 21-7, going into the second period.
It was a quiet second quarter with the only points coming from a 23-yard pass from Quintanilla to Franklin, making it a 27-7 ball game at the half.
Quintanilla found James Durst to start the third quarter off on a 15-yard touchdown pass. After that, Perez and Brown both recorded their second touchdowns of the night. Perez from 1 yard and Brown trotting in from 10 yards out, to make the score 48-7 going into the final period.
Quintanilla, who was 16 of 25 for 359 yards on the night, found Johnathan Rosas on a 30-yard touchdown strike to put the game in the win column for the Bobcats.
Tyler Castellano led the rushing charge with 65 yards on six carries. Tops in receiving went to Dana Franklin with three catches for 103 yards.
The Bobcats return home to face the Kingsville Academy Lions this Friday night. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. in Jack Sportsman Bobcat Stadium.

Lawyer: 14-year-old won't seek juvenile court trial in slaying
Teen accused of killing his great-grandmother
A Sheboygan teenager charged in his great-grandmother's killing will no longer seek to have his case tried in juvenile court.
Defense attorney George Limbeck had earlier filed a motion to have the 14-year-old boy's case moved to juvenile court. But Limbeck said Wednesday the boy will no longer contest his case remaining in adult court.
Limbeck declined to comment to The Sheboygan Press on the decision.
The boy and a 14-year-old friend are accused of bludgeoning 78-year-old Barbara Olson to death at her Sheboygan Falls home on Sept. 17. The boys are accused of ransacking Olson's house and stealing money to buy marijuana and pizza. Both boys were 13 at the time.
Attorneys for the other boy also have filed a motion to move his case to juvenile court.

In March, the residents of the Village of Liberty will vote on whether they want to dissolve the village court and let the cases and court functions be absorbed by the Town of Liberty court. Members of the town board have indicated that they are not so enthusiastic about that possibility, but if the voters vote to dissolve, the town won't have any choice.
Three members of the village board want the court to be dissolved because it runs a deficit somewhere above $28,000 per year.
The matter got county lawmaker Jodi Goodman thinking about the overall county court system, and whether its efficiency could be approved. At a meeting at the government center on January 13, she told her fellow lawmakers that the county should look into the formation of a central court system. She said it takes an awful lot of county manpower to transport inmates to far-flung courts in such places as Tusten and Roscoe, and it might save a lot of money to have a centralized system.
She stressed that she was not talking about laying off any court employees, instead she was simply interested in finding out if greater efficiencies were possible.
Lawmaker Leni Binder reminded her colleagues that when they considered consolidating courts, police and tax collection in the past, residents came from the towns bearing "tar and feathers." The opposition to consolidation was "really vicious," she said.
The research into those options was done in the late '90s, but Goodman said that now officials are dealing with the continuing stifling recession, which has significantly altered the economic and political landscape, and that things that were once impossible might be possible now.
County chair Jonathan Rouis noted that unlike in the past, most towns and municipalities now make some positive revenue from the justice courts because of the collection of traffic ticket fines and would be unlikely to want to give that up.
He also said, "There are 20 justice courts and 40 judges that are all elected," in the town and village courts, who might object to changes.
Lawmaker Woody Wood said, "Maybe it's something we can do and maybe not. But we should look at it because Governor Andrew Cuomo's speech stressed consolidation; he said that we should think outside the box because things are different now."
Ira Cohen, the county treasurer, said, "The economic times have changed but what hasn't changed, it seems to me, is the willingness of local towns and villages to lose their local representatives. My understanding of the process is that we would have to pass a county law that would be subject to referendum in the towns. Everybody would have to approve it and that's where the problem comes in."
County staff will look into the court consolidation question.

Only Watch 2009 : the BR 01 Airborne ONE sold at the extraordinary price of 34 000 euros ($ 51 000)Monaco Yacht Show on September 24th 2009. Osvaldo Patrizzi, the world famous Expert watchmaker associated with the project from its beginnings, will run the auction with the support of Patrizzi & Co.
Bell & Ross and ONLY WATCH 2009 Bell & Ross supports the Only Watch project and its incredible fundraising efforts in the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This year the brand will join forces with the Only Watch project and participate in this great endeavour to help children suffering from this disease.
Our commitment to help has resulted in the design of this exclusive watch. A unique version of the BR 01 Airborne. The BR 01 Airborne in its original black carbon version is a watch inspired by a military symbol. It was developed to honour the outstanding soldiers who fought during World War II, particularly the paratroopers of the US Airborne divisions. The skull was one of the emblems they wore on their uniforms. The BR 01 Airborne represents the attitude of these courageous men in the face of all the dangers they affronted daily. For the Only Watch project, Bell & Ross created a new model, a unique piece, BR 01 Airborne ONE, specially set with black and white diamonds. The subtle black diamonds covering the case are contrasted with the glittering white diamonds on the dial resulting in a fantastic display of artistry. With the fusion of materials, techniques and play on light, the military symbol flirts with high fashion jewellery to give an exceptional result. Bell & Ross chose this model as a strong symbol to represent the risks, courage, and iron will that people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy face every day…

Fat grips are a worthy addition to a training program.
Fat grips are not essential, and aren't a "miracle". Sorry to say.
Nobody has some out of control strength, but weak hands and grip that negate it .
The only ppl who do, are people who aren't really that strong (ie someone who just benched a lot and got real good at the bench).
When you train hard and right, your grip strenght and hand strength will invariably go up, in unison, as you progress.
When you lift and throw around heavier weight, your hands and grip get trained.
Surely, supremely strong hands and wrists are a plus -- especially if you are a fighter, for injury prevention purposes. But you can train your hands, grip, and wrists with a couple mini workouts throughout the week, and get great results.
You don't need a fat bar. I like fat bars, though, and probably will buy one soon. I feel I can lift more weight with them, as it increases my body-weight connection.
Same reason I train (and run) in a pair of Adidas Adipiures.

PNT Staff Report
Eastern New Mexico University President Steven Gamble's contract was renewed Saturday by the Board of Regents.
Gamble said with the approval of his contract he hopes to continue to improve the university and help students.
"Hopefully, to continue to protect the quality of this institution," Gamble said. "Help it to grow, and most of all make sure we have good quality people at the institution and provide a good education to our students."
Gamble will receive his same annual wage — $185,400 — without a raise.
No ENMU employees will be receiving raises.
Board President Pauline Ponce said regents are happy with Gamble and find him to be an exceptional president.
"This was confirmed to us again when the Legislative Senate Council came," Ponce said. "They were here and when we came in for a dinner during one of those days. The council was very complementary about him, and they are usually not about presidents at universities because of some problems with others."

The IRS, loopholes for the rich and be glad you don't live in France
- 3:36 pm Monday, May 20th, 2013 by Dian Vujovich
Well, if there were ever a time to be thankful that you're wealthy and not living in France this is it: France's newspaper Les Echos has reported if your household has assets of over 1.3 million euros —about $1.67 million— you'll be taxed at a 100 percent rate. Sacre bleu!
According to the story, the tax-the-rich ploy was introduced by President Francois Hollande in response to a "rebate scheme and taxation cap" put in place by President Nikolas Sarkosy. That's a tough got-cha response and will impact over 8,000 French households.

The No News News Media
There was a lot of news this past week. Some of it was even reported by the news media. First, there was a football player from Notre Dame who either did or didn't know that his girlfriend was or wasn't real, but died sometime during the season. Six column headlines for several days announced the fraud. Network news and talk show hosts rehashed it almost daily. Two weeks ago, Lance Armstrong admitted he was a dope. Or maybe he just took dope. The news media kept sending urgent flashes all week of what he was going to tell Oprah. And then he told Oprah, and now we'll be reading stories about it until Schwinn adds a jet engine to a … Continue reading

Dopplegangsta plans farewell blowout before hiatus
Dopplegangsta: Faulteroy (left) and Reginald Birch
The local crazy-ass rap duo known as Dopplegangsta, which teamed up with wizard-rapper LiL iFFy to put together the Magic Hu$tle collective, has a show on Saturday night at The Well in Knoxville, and it'll likely be their final performance for a while. Perhaps ever, Lil' Lord Faulteroy confirmed today.
"(Reginald) Birch is gonna be a daddy; I'm making studio upgrades; and IF we come back, it will likely be to promote a full-length record (and) not a single," he said via Facebook.
The duo made a splash locally with the summer anthem "Myrtle Beach Ya'll" back in the summer of 2011; it received heavy airplay on WUTK-FM, 90.3 The Rock, and at the end of that year, Magic Hu$tle was born. The collective has grown to include a number of other rappers, two of whom — Halfdeaf and deejay Black Thunder — will be on the bill Saturday night.
The show features a couple of out-of-town rappers as well — Southern Croat and Blacknerd. It starts at 9 p.m., and admission is $5. Check out the event page on Facebook. You can also check out the guys at 8 p.m. Tuesday night on The Rock, located at 90.3 on your FM dial.

Comments: Great shoe. I bought this because it was on sale and I seem to keep going through shoes really fast, as I
tend to drag my toes across the court when hitting and then wearing holes on the toe area. These are holding up really well so far,
and they also took no time to break in. The color looks a bit pink in the picture, but the stripes are actually a bit more red than pink.

- Abstract
- Discussion with families of Indian clients with cancer living in Western Australia and their anecdotal reports of stress related to care lead to the development of this descriptive, qualitative study. In particular, the study addresses the concerns of Western Australian families of Indian clients with cancer and the coping strategies they employed. Six family members participated in face-to-face interviews. Content analysis revealed a four-phase process that family members described in response to the cancer diagnosis: initial reactions, immediate concerns, ongoing concerns, and coping strategies used. Culturally-specific observations and recommendations are offered for nursing practice and further research.

My Family History Weekly Update 2
Since my last update a few weeks ago, I haven't spent a lot of time doing any research, as I have been extremely busy with my day job and will continue to be over the next month or so, so won't have time to blog or do much research. Though in saying that I have completed or started to do the following since my last update.
- Sent an email two weeks ago to the Suffolk Records Office, to enquire about purchasing the parish registers for Boxford so that I can start some research on my One Place Study. Unfortunately, I'm yet to receive a reply from them.
- Started to extract all marriages that occurred in Boxford Suffolk from the " Allegations for Marriage Licences, from the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, Suffolk, 1684-1839″ which I obtained from English Parish Registers and all those noted as being from Boxford but married elsewhere in Suffolk for my OPS.
- Spent some time searching the UK census records and marriage records for Sarah Baker (nee King) and her daughter Sarah Baker (baptised in 1834 at Boxford), as well as again trying to find William George Baker in the census but once again to no avail.
- Received an ancestor approved award from Pauleen at Familys Across the Sea's which was great but I will deal with in another post at some point.
- Found an entry on the NSW Australia Gaol Description & Entrance Books 1818-1930 for a John Shoulder and the information found matches back to the convict listed as ' John Showler', who arrived on the Countess of Harcourt in 1828. I still need to take a trip to the NSW State Records office at Kingswood to look at some original records but I am now begining to believe this John Showler/John Shoulder was my GGG Grandfather.

Suspect in death seeks new lawyerJuly 13,2013ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont man charged along with his wife in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher isnt getting a new lawyer at the moment.
A judge initially dismissed Allen and Patricia Prues requests for new attorneys in May. Allen made a second request.
Prue and defense lawyer Dan Maguire said Thursday that Prue no longer communicates with Maguire, and that Maguire could be called as a witness against Patricia Prue.
The Prues have been charged with luring Melissa Jenkins out of her home last year and killing her before dumping her body in the Connecticut River. Both have pleaded not guilty, Allen Prue to first-degree murder; Patricia Prue to aggravated murder.
I just dont think Mr. Maguire can ethically do his duty anymore, Allen Prue said. I dont see any way of going around this. I just completely refuse to talk to counsel anymore.
Maguire said he agrees with Prue that he should withdraw, The Caledonian Record reported.
Its not something I take lightly, he said.
The judge said Thursday that she wants more information and another hearing first. Judge Mary Miles Teachout said Allen Prues unwillingness to communicate with Maguire is not evidence enough that their attorney-client relationship had broken down to the point that a proper defense could not be offered. She also said she wasnt sure there was a conflict of interest in Maguires possible role as a witness against Patricia Prue.
It does not call into question Mr. Maguires ability to mount a defense. I dont see a conflict, she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

By Helena Rodriguez: Local columnist
I get lost so easily in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Sometimes I'm in and right back out of the store in a few, but when I walk out of those sliding doors, I can't remember where I parked. Even more baffling to my friend Bernard, however, is how I can easily lose my sense of direction outdoors, yet indoors I never seem to get lost in the maze of aisles.
Now it's true that most of the products have been kept in the same aisle in the same place for months, or even years. I read a novel in my postmodern literature class this semester, "White Noise," by Don DeLillo, in which the lives of almost an entire neighborhood are turned upside down by something as seemingly trivial as when the local supermarket rearranges its store layout.
The supermarket has become the community gathering place and the site of many reunions. I've seen this happen at Wal-Mart in Portales, too.
Anyway, the supermarket has become such a big part of many peoples' routines, and so they are thrown into a panic and confusion when they walk in and things are not where they have been for many years. Kind of like walking into your own home and finding that someone has rearranged the furniture … without your permission.
Some people don't like to have their routines upset. I remember feeling momentarily displaced last fall when a local grocery store rearranged its aisles. I thought I was going to run in and out and was frustrated when the chips and salsa were not where they used to be. "Why couldn't they have just left everything alone, where I know where it is?" I remember asking myself.
But sometimes, something as simple as a rearranged grocery shelf, or even a living room couch, can give you a whole new outlook on life.
Best-selling author Stephen King says in his book, "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft," that simply moving his writing desk from the center of his study to a corner helped him put his life into perspective.
I could use some perspective in my life too, if could just remember where I parked my car at Wal-Mart.
My poor daughter Laura knows how ruffled up I get when things are not in their place. A misplaced brush can throw my whole morning off schedule.
I've seen people tearing apart their houses for remote controls, eating up time in which they could have already pressed through all of the channels manually with their fingers. But we Americans like to have things in their place. We like that certainty. That mindless predictability. I don't like having to think when I'm going into a store. I have enough trouble remembering where I parked.
In that big Wal-Mart of life though, change is a good thing, too. Once in awhile I will take a different route somewhere just to shake things up.
While I do like to have my hairbrushes in place, and my groceries, that doesn't mean I don't like to live dangerously and unpredictably from time to time.
