Programmers deal with text all the time:
% perl -wpe1 alice.txt
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think
it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself,
`Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'
That's three nicely formatted lines of text. Now look at what's actually in the file alice.txt:
% perl -w0777e 'print join ".", unpack "C*", <>' alice.txt
It's just a bunch of codes in a row. Numbers.
What's going on? Computers only understand numbers. That's the way they work; they encode text using numbers. To interpret them as text, software maps between numbers and characters. The map used in the example--ASCII--establishes that number 84 corresponds to letter "T", number 104 to "h", number 101 to "e", and so on. Those mappings are technically called character encodings, and there are many. Most are extensions of ASCII.
Conversely, in:
print $fh "foo";
... Perl prints the codes that correspond to letters "f", "o", and "o" into
$fh. In fact, those letters are numbers already within Perl; that's the way Perl represents strings internally.
Not all codes correspond to letters, though. For instance, you may have noticed that there are no spaces in the list of numbers in the example above, while there are plenty of them in the original text. How do spaces end up in the console? Where do they come from? It turns out that in ASCII, number 32 corresponds to the space character. When printing the text, an empty spot appears whenever the number 32 comes up. This is the same principle that yields a "T" from number 84.
Similarly, when the number 10 appears, a Unix terminal starts a fresh new line and code translation continues. The result of this process is text that renders like a book. Yet, that is an illusion: there are no letters, spaces, or separated lines in files or strings.
Newlines are encoded using numbers as everything else. Forget about the way they look; they're just codes. That's the key point to understand newlines in computers.
For historical reasons, no single code is unequivocally interpreted as a newline. ASCII code 10 is technically called "newline," but unfortunately, the actual representation of newlines depends on the operating system or the application context.
The codes used to represent newlines in ASCII-based systems are:
LF: Line Feed,
"\cJ", Unicode
CR: Carriage Return,
"\cM", Unicode
CRLF: A pair, both codes together one right after the
other, and in that order.
Thus, there are three different conventions. Each ASCII-based platform follows one of them:
LF: Unix and Unix-like systems, Mac OS X, Linux, AIX, Xenix, BeOS, Amiga, RISC OS, and others.
CR: Apple II family, Mac OS through version 9.
CRLF: Microsoft Windows, WinCE, DOS, OS/2, CP/M, MP/M, and others.
If you fire up an editor in three computers running an operating system from each of those three families, then enter
x +
Return +
y in each one and save, the result on disk is different. Following the same nomenclature used earlier, you would see these bytes, respectively:
Text editors do that transparently. How do you produce the right code or codes from Perl (or another programming language that works similarly)? Suppose you want to print "foo" followed by a newline on Linux. According to the previous list, you could write:
print "foo\012";
That's correct. Now, what if you want to print "foo" followed by a newline on Windows? In theory, you would need to write instead:
print "foo\015\012"; # but not actually true!
What if you don't know in advance the operating system your script is going to run on? Imagine that you are going to publish a program that must be OS-independent. That is, you want your program to be portable. In principle, you need to write something like:
if ($^O eq "darwin" || ...) {
print "foo\012";
} elsif ($^O eq "MSWin32" || ...) {
print "foo\015\012"; # not actually true, see below
} else {
print "foo\015";
That's ugly, but it can be encapsulated somewhere so that you only need to write:
print "foo", newline_for_runtime_platform();
That is, in a sense, what
"\n" means. Not exactly with that implementation, but the idea is to use
"\n" to output a newline in a portable way; Perl knows what to do in each system:
print "foo\n"; # does the right thing in every system
That's common in C-based languages such as Perl. Other languages have
different semantics for
"\n". For instance,
"\n" is
not a portable newline in Java; in order to print
foo followed by a
newline in a portable way in Java, use method calls such as
The previous section sacrificed accuracy in order to give you the whole picture. You are ready now to learn the details.
There are two important facts about
\n in Perl that you must
clearly understand:
"\n" consists of just one character. Always. Everywhere.
"foo\n" has length 4 in all systems. In particular,
"\n" is not
CRLF on Windows.
"\n" is equal to
"\012" in all systems except Mac OS pre-X, where it is equal to
Given that:
print $fh "foo\n";
does the right thing on Windows, and given that
"\n" is really
LF there, you may wonder how the
CRLF pair ends up correctly in
Perl inherits from C the approach to handle line terminators; there is a layer responsible for all I/O operations in Perl. Since 5.8.0, that layer is, by default, PerlIO. When your script prints, PerlIO intervenes and does some magic: if Perl is running on a CRLF platform, it transforms, on the fly, all
"\n"s in the stream into
CRLF pairs. It is totally transparent, so you won't notice it.
The C code that performs that transformation on Windows lives in the function
PerlIOCrlf_write(), defined in perlio.c:
if (*buf == '\n') {
/* ... */
*(b->ptr)++ = 0xd; /* CR */
*(b->ptr)++ = 0xa; /* LF */
/* ... */
Note that the
'\n' in that code is a C char, not a Perl string. Fortunately, the semantics coincide, and thus the condition tests what it has to test.
That transformation goes the other way around when reading text files on Windows or any other CRLF platform. The layer replaces any
CRLF pair on the fly by a single
'\n' character. That happens in
PerlIOCrlf_get_cnt(), as well as in perlio.c:
if (nl < b->end && *nl == 0xd) {
if (nl + 1 < b->end) {
if (nl[1] == 0xa) {
*nl = '\n';
c->nl = nl;
/* ... */
/* ... */
Note that this handles only actual
CRLF pairs. Isolated
CRs or
LFs will remain untouched.
Thus, if you read lines from a text file in Windows using the standard line-oriented
while loop:
while (my $line = <$fh>) {
# ...
CRLF pair ever gets into
$line, only
All that magic happens on file handles associated with files. By default, Perl opens files in text mode in CRLF platforms, which means no more and no fewer than those transformations occur. You can disable them with
binmode(). Other streams--sockets, for example--are in binmode by default.
That's why you need to open images and all non-text files in binmode on Windows. Those conventions about newlines are just for regular text files. They have nothing to do with, say, the bytes used in PNG images. A PNG image could in principle have a
CRLF pair by chance somewhere, meaning something else. If you open a PNG image for reading and don't set binmode on its file handle, the IO layer will perform those on-the-fly substitutions and may corrupt data by filtering out some bytes. The same happens with writing. If you have a buffer with bytes representing a song in MP3 format and write it to disk in text mode on Windows, all
0xas will get a
0xd inserted before, and the MP3 will become garbage.
On the other hand, you can activate the
CRLF to and from
"\n" no matter what the platform is, thanks to the
:crlf PerlIO layer:
open my $fh, "<:crlf", "alice.txt" or die $!;
With that little trick, your script will understand text with either native conventions or
As far as newlines go, a portable program does its job well on the assumption that the newline convention of text data is that of the runtime platform.
Those conventions are only knowable at runtime, perhaps in some other machine running some unknown operating system. It could be a nightmare, but fortunately, good languages give you idioms to accomplish this effortlessly. It is good practice to always write in a portable way.
In Perl, use
"\n" to print newlines. Use
<> to do line-based loops over file handles associated with text files, or slurp lines in list context. Use
chomp() to delete the newline from a line of text. Use
"\n" in regular expressions to match line terminators, and
^ and
$ for assertions about line boundaries, with
/m if necessary.
Set binmode on file handles associated with binary files, even if you develop in a system that does not distinguish text and binary files. Usually, binmode is also necessary if you plan to
tell() and
read(). That's because
read() also transforms
CRLF into
"\n" in CRLF platforms in text mode, but
tell() do not and byte offsets may differ.
Do not assume
"\n" is
"\012"--a common pitfall in sockets programming. That does not necessarily hold true. For instance, if you need a
CRLF pair to generate raw HTTP headers, do not use
"\r\n" as terminator. The meaning of that string depends on the system. Hardcode it instead, as in
"\cM\cJ". Even better, use the variables provided by Socket.pm via the
:crlf export tag:
$LF, and
$CRLF. These are portable solutions.
Portability, however, does not mean readiness to accept any kind of text--only text with the convention of the runtime platform. Suppose you need to write a portable Perl script that counts the number of lines of the files passed as arguments:
my $lines = 0;
++$lines while <>;
print "$lines\n";
That program is correct and portable. It portably handles line terminators on reading, delegating to the diamond operator, and it outputs a newline in a portable way, via
That does not mean it works in any possible situation, of course. For example, suppose that one day a coworker comes to you with a MacBook and says the script worked flawlessly for weeks, but suddenly some file with multiple lines is reported to have a single line. If you understand how newlines work, you'll debug that in a couple of minutes. Otherwise, you'll be lost.
The problem must be that the input file is not using
LF for
newlines, which is the convention in Mac OS X. Editors such as Vim, Emacs, and
TextMate let the user configure newlines so there's always a risk. The diamond
operator looks for
LFs in Mac OS X. If the file uses
CRs, the entire file lives in a single line according to Mac OS X
conventions. That coincides with the observed behavior and becomes your
Note that if the file used
CRLF, the number of lines computed would be correct in Mac OS X (by accident, but correct).
With ubiquitous networking, there are plenty of situations where you will find text with a different newline convention than that used by the runtime platform.
If you read a file in Linux coming from a FAT32 partition, you'll likely encounter
CRLF pairs. If you read a file in a DOS console written using nano inside Cygwin with default settings, you'll find Unix newlines.
Some file transfer tools such as FTP and version control systems including Subversion, are aware of these issues and perform the necessary housekeeping. If a developer working on Windows XP checks a Perl source file into a Subversion repository, and another developer checks it out in her laptop running Debian, Subversion takes care of newlines and transforms them transparently. Each local copy has the corresponding native convention.
If you receive a file as an email attachment, inside a tarball, via Jabber, via Bluetooth, from a memory stick, or through any other less helpful means, no newline normalization is performed. The canonical example of this is a logfile generated in a Windows machine and emailed to a developer that works with some Unix flavor. He opens the log in a pager and sees strange
^Ms at the end of lines. What on earth?
You now have the theory to understand what's happening. The file used
CRLF as the newline convention because it was generated on Windows. The developer opened the file with a Unix pager that expected Unix newline conventions and consequently broke lines at
LFs. Fortunately, there's an
LF in each pair, so the lines look almost correct in the pager, except that there's also a spurious
CR that nobody removed. That character is the one the pager shows as
^M, and that's why it appears at the end of lines.
You have the necessary knowledge to fix this with a one-liner:
perl -pi.bak -we 's/\015\012/\012/' error.log
On Linux, PerlIO does nothing with newlines and those control characters will pass untouched. A single
"\012" represents a line terminator in that system, so in each iteration
$_ ends with
"\015\012". Clearly, all you need to do is to delete the
Sometimes, though, you want to be able to deal with text no matter what its convention is, and perhaps even if there's a mix of them. For instance, a robust CGI program may want to normalize newlines in order to apply a regex to some text coming from a text area, because the text comes from another machine:
my $ALT_NL = "\n" eq "\012" ? "\015" : "\012";
sub normalize_newlines {
my $text = shift;
$text =~ s/\015\012|$ALT_NL/\n/go;
return $text;
If you ever need to guess the newline convention used in some file, this is a start:
my $filename = shift;
open my $fh, "<", $filename or die $!;
binmode $fh; # let line terminators pass untouched in CRLF platforms
$/ = \1024; # read at most that many bytes
my $buf = <$fh>;
close $fh;
my $convention = 'unknown';
if ($buf =~ /\015\012/) {
$convention = 'CRLF (Windows)';
} elsif ($buf =~ /\012/) {
$convention = "LF (Unix)";
} elsif ($buf =~ /\015/) {
$convention = 'CR (Mac pre-OSX)';
print "$convention\n";
If this article accomplished its objective, you'll understand that program right away.
The Unicode Standard defines even more codes for newlines:
CR (Carriage Return,
LF (Line Feed,
CRLF (Carriage Return and Line Feed,
NEL (Next Line,
FF (Form Feed,
LS (Line Separator,
2028), and
PS (Paragraph Separator,
Unicode recommends that your program understand any of these on input, although that's not a conformance requirement and not yet a common practice. Many languages, including Perl, do not yet offer an easy way to follow that recommendation anyway. Perl's readline operator uses
$/ to determine record boundaries, which cannot represent an alternation.
A partial solution is to use an extended normalizer:
my $ALT_NL = "\n" eq "\012" ? "\015" : "\012";
sub normalize_newlines_for_unicode {
my $text = shift;
$text =~ s/\015\012|$ALT_NL|\x{0085}|\x{000C}|\x{2028}|\x{2029}/\n/go;
return $text;
You could emulate a line-oriented loop for arbitrary Unicode text:
local $/ = "\012"; # ensure we don't halve CRLFs
while (my $LF_line = <$fh>) {
open my $gh, '<', \normalize_newlines_for_unicode($LF_line);
local $/ = "\n";
while (my $line = <$gh>) {
# ...
but that is a hack. For example, if the text uses only
LSs, the outer loop will slurp it all in during the first iteration. Generic solutions cannot allow that possibility. In addition, you may lose the original newline characters, and that may or may not be what you want when working with Unicode text.
A better approach is a low-level solution that processes input character by character--for instance, a PerlIO layer.
As for output, the recommendation is to map any of those newline characters "appropriately," which is a bit vague. As a guideline, you can just print
"\n" as usual for regular newlines.
The anchors
^ and
$ in Perl's regular expressions do not cope yet with
LS and friends. Perhaps they will someday. On the other hand,
LS, and
PS do match
\s in Unicode strings.
All in all, these newline codes are rather new in practice and quite unlikely to appear "out in the wild" for a while.
I would like to thank Nick Ing-Simmons for his clarifications about PerlIO, Enrique Nell for proofreading a draft of this article, and Jarkko Hietaniemi and Sadahiro Tomoyuki for their advice on Unicode.

A California couple following a route selected by their GPS unit ended up stuck on a muddy Oregon road for two days.
Charles Garton and his wife, of Ridgecrest, Calif., were heading to Coos Bay on Saturday in their 23-foot motor home while pulling a utility trailer and a golf cart.
The GPS unit routed them off Interstate 5 at the Glendale exit and then down several Bureau of Land Management roads toward Highway 42.
Along the unimproved roads, Garton damaged his motor home and eventually became stuck in the mud on a remote road near Camas Valley.
Garton and his wife eventually called the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and asked for help that night.
Deputies responded and found Garton at 11 a.m. the next day. They cleared trees from the road, but because of the conditions of the roadway, they were unable to free the motor home.
A crew from Roseburg Towing also responded, but was unable to remove the motor home.
Deputies said the Gartons were offered a ride to town, but they refused to leave.
A search and rescue team continued to try and help the couple get the motor home back on the road Monday afternoon.
The sheriff's office finally confirmed Monday night that the rescue volunteers were successful in helping the Gartons get back on their way.

How to Grow Eggplant
Planting advice for how to grow eggplant, recommended varieties and eggplant recipes.
A-to-Z Vegetable Guide:
How to Grow Vegetables»
Solanum melongena
Baba ganoush, that tasty Middle Eastern dip, is just one of delicious eggplant dishes you can make. Bonus point: They serve as great ornamentals in containers or the flower garden.
Hardiness: Grown as an annual.
Planting advice: Best to use transplants. Set them every 18 to 24 inches, with rows 30 to 36 inches apart. Plant after the last frost when soil is warm.
Harvest tips: Matures in 50 to 80 days. Pick fruits when 6 to 8 inches long and still shiny, and keep on their green "hats."
Or use the thumb test: If the flesh rebounds when gently pressed, they're ready. Eggplants spoil quickly, so don't wait long to cook them.
Recommendations: Black Bell, Ghostbuster (white), Slim Jim (container gardens), Easter Egg (yellow ornamental).

This week's reviews: Laughing at you or laughing with you
The Columbus Dispatch - February 14, 2014 09:25 AM
Everybody went to school with a person that made acquaintances laugh when they didn't mean to do it. They might have been trying to be serious, but no matter their intent, the audience read their message as comedy.
Winter's Tale is, like your former classmate, accidentally laughable.
Starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly, the Akiva Goldsman film set in the early part of the 20th century tells the story of a criminal in a relationship with a dying heiress. Instead of being a rules-of-physics love story, Winter's Tale incorporates magic into the romance.
Melissa Starker found the performance by Farell and the cinematography to be excellent. However, she found it hard to get past the screening audience's constant laughter at supposedly dramatic sequences.
"...Goldsman never clearly establishes the story's rules and reality, despite an attempt to fill plot gaps with pseudo- mystical voice-over dialogue. As a result, viewers might be left scratching their heads in confusion — when not grabbing their sides over some remarkably misguided choices," Starker said in her review.
She rated Winter's Tale one-and-one-half stars.

In September, when DS is 9 months, I will be going back to school. I will be taking one class and doing a field placement - so 'working' 2 1/2 days a week. So I will need to pump.
I currently have a Medela swing - one sided pump. It works great, but it takes twice as long to pump since I have to do each side individually.
I'm thinking I will need a double pump... but DH freaked at the price of them.
I did just notice a PISA on Craigslist for 150$. I'm not sure how much the extra parts are (the flanges etc that I would have to buy for hygenic reasons).
WDYT? Will I need a double pump? Should I snatch up the used PISA at that price? They sell for 350$ new here plus tax so over 400$...

Indeed, "hype" is not a word I'd use here. I've seen the band name mentioned in odd places very infrequently at best, next to zero discussion on Last.fm etc. It's not like it's another Ghost or anything. This album will be lucky to break 10 votes to be honest (it's only had 3 since the end of April). No hype whatsoever. Marcel's probably just annoyed that they share their name with a Dutch Death/Doom band who he probably loves

The extensive 55 acre campus is comprised of numerous buildings, each housing some aspect of the vertically integrated operations which are the strength and tradition of Harry & David's companies.
The most visible landmark is the 1937 art deco packing house, a local attraction prominently located along the main highway. The campus consists of administrative offices, an information technology building, packing houses, storage facilities, a candy kitchen and bakery complex, an employment and education center, customer service call center, marketing offices, an in-house advertising agency and much more. Additionally there are 2,700 acres of orchards located around the Rogue Valley. Here, the normal workforce of 1,700 swells to over 6,700 at the peak of the holiday season, with as many as 100,000 calls received in a single day.
Harry & David's Hopewell campus is located in central Ohio, about 30 miles east of Columbus. Construction began at this 52 acre, partially wooded site in August 1996, and was completed in September 1997, just in time for the new center to assume its role in the heavy holiday season. Hopewell provides a 450 seat customer service call center as well as a 275,000 square foot distribution center for mail order and Harry and David retail stores. The facility has greatly improved service to customers in the Eastern United States. The entire complex, which also includes offices, employee amenities, and gift assembly areas, is fully expandable and currently can accommodate over 3,000 employees.
We are pleased to announce the re-opening of the Eugene, Oregon Call Center for the upcoming season. As many of you know, the Eugene Call Center has a long and successful history as a seasonal Harry & David Contact Center (seasonal call center). The center will be located at the same location, 180 West 8th Avenue (formerly 227 West Broadway) in Eugene. The location is only a block away from the Lane Transit District central hub, making it ideal for those who use Eugene's wonderful public transportation network.

Where were you when September 11, 2001 occurred?
Asleep, I had worked late the night before, and my father called me to tell me - I immediately went to work, to see if there was anything I could do. I was our Sports Director at the time, so all sports events were cancelled, sportscasts were cancelled, and I spent much of the day answering phones and helping in news.

After a summer vacation on your porch or deck, it's time to prepare your house plants for the trip back to their winter home. For their survival and your enjoyment, they need to be prepared for the lower levels of light, temperature and humidity of the house. It's really just a reversal of the process of hardening off plants or seedlings in the spring. When night temperatures cool to the 50s, the fall ritual can begin. These tips should help with the process:
Move the plants to a shadier location. If they've enjoyed full sun all summer, get them used to lower light levels by moving them to your porch or a shadier side of the house. Gradually move them to shadier and shadier spots over a few days.
Check for bugs. As you move the plants, check each plant for insects both on the plant, in the soil and on the pot. Hand pick any insects you see, or spray (on both sides of the leaves) with a mild solution of vinegar or Listerine (20%), dish soap (1%) and water (79%). For bugs in the soil, prepare a bucket of lukewarm water, and submerge the plant up to the top of the soil level for about 15 minutes. Anything living in the soil should rise to the surface. Scoop the creatures away. If the soil is heavily infested, it's better to re-pot the plant, discarding the old soil. Clean the pot on the top and bottom, and don't forget the dish underneath.
Check for disease and tidy up the plant. Snip off any dead or diseased-looking leaves or stems. If the plant looks unhealthy, it's kinder to compost it. Each plant will suffer some shock as it gets used to indoor conditions, and an already-stressed plant will have a harder time surviving. If the plant is root bound, repot it with new potting soil.
Quarantine. If you have other indoor plants, keep them separate from the travelers for a few days just to make sure that you haven't brought any bugs inside.
Choose the right indoor location. Keep the plants away from drafts created by doors opening and closing, heating and cooling vents and the like. Plants that need full sun should be in a south facing window. Plants that need partial sun can be in windows facing east or west. If your house isn't sunny, grow lights can be used.
Change your watering habits. In the summer, the heat can dry out a potted plant very quickly. Plants won't need as much water inside because temperatures inside are usually lower. Plants also grow more slowly under lower light conditions. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch, and don't let standing water sit in the bottom of the tray. This can foster root rot in the plant. If you can, group the plants close together. You can also place them together on a tray filled with pebbles. A little water in this tray will help boost humidity. Again, don't let the pots sit in standing water. Remember, no wet feet!
Know your plants. Some plants have an easier time transitioning than others. Herbs are particularly difficult because they generally like full strong sun and warm conditions. If your potted basil is tall, cut it back to where there are multiple branches so that it will be smaller and bushier. Don't let the stems become woody. Place it where it gets at least six hours of sun a day. It needs to be in a pot where it quickly drains after watering. Water only when the top inch or so of soil feels dry, every seven to 10 days. Rosemary is difficult, and some varieties are easier to overwinter than others. It likes full sun, cooler temperatures than basil or other herbs, and should be kept evenly moist. Keep it in a sunny window in the coldest room of your house. Its growth will be spindly and slow in January and February, so pinch it back in March so that more sprigs will be created and they will have shoots which are sturdier. Succulents need lots of light, not very much water, and no fertilizer. Keeping them in a cool spot will keep them in a semi-dormant state all winter, which is ideal. Christmas cactus likes indirect sun both outside and in. It likes to be on the dry side, but the soil should never completely dry out. This can cause the flower buds to drop. Overwatering has the same effect. I have a plant that descends from a Christmas cactus dating back to the 1960s. My mother would bring the plant inside in early October and keep it in the attic, which had one east facing window, watering it once every 10 days or so. She brought it downstairs in early November, and it always bloomed at Christmastime. I don't expose mine to that prolonged period of darkness, so mine is either a Halloween or a Thanksgiving cactus!

Special delivery
Aveson Charter students set out to end hunger, one box at a time
By Sara Cardine 01/30/2013
This week, first- and second-graders from the Aveson School of Leaders in Altadena are convening in Pasadena at the Friends in Deed house to make a very special delivery. For two days, beginning yesterday, more than 100 students from the charter school are bringing boxes of food donations to be distributed by the nonprofit's food pantry. The pantry hands out supplemental food items to about 200 low-income and homeless households in the community each week.
The journey that culminated with the donations began with a simple question posed to the students: "Why do people go hungry when there is so much food in the world?"
The discussion provoked by that question led to the formation of an in-class project designed to acquaint the youngsters with the wider issues of global hunger and food distribution, according to Aveson teacher Tom Hyatt.
"Their teachers, committed to global learning, helped them explore the global issue of hunger and helped them find a way to take action in their own community," Hyatt wrote in an email.
The students interviewed the pantry's manager, Tim Nistler, and later toured a local supermarket, where they learned more about how food is received and prepared for purchase.
"After the supermarket manager gave them a guided tour, they were ready to act," Hyatt said. "Armed with knowledge and about $15 per small group, students chose items from the shelves to donate to local families in need."
About $350 worth of donated food items were collected by Aveson students. According to Hyatt, one female student said after selecting the items, "I feel like I changed the world."
"She may well have begun to do just that," the teacher concluded.
A project of the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Congregations (ECPAC), Friends in Deed, at the corner of Los Robles Avenue and Washington Boulevard, offers food distribution as well as support programs and a bad weather shelter for the area's homeless. To contact the pantry or make a donation, call (626) 797-6072 or email email@example.com.

The minute Alexander Byrd walked into McDonald's in Waikiki on Nov. 5, 2011; he knew he'd walked into a hornet's nest.
He said he didn't hear the first, potentially critical exchange between Special Agent Christopher Deedy and 23-year-old Kollin Elderts.
But he said saw that spark ignite -- with Deedy and friends, along with Elderts and his friend Shane Medeiros, swapping harsh words and insults.
"At this point, I just felt like I couldn't say anything else. They were arguing and I figured if they're going to fight they're going to fight," said Byrd.
He said he watched as Deedy's friend pushed Elderts, Elderts pushed back, Medeiros rushed Deedy's friend, then saw Elderts and Deedy engage again.
That's when he said he heard again, what he had already heard Deedy mumble more than once:
"This time it was real clear, and (Deedy) said I'm gonna shoot you in the face," he said, referring to what Deedy said to Elderts.
He said he was shocked when he saw Deedy reach for a gun on his waistband.
"Immediately as he drew it, he shot," he said.
He said the first one was a miss, that's when Elderts punched Deedy in the face.
Byrd said as Elderts and Deedy fell to the ground, he could see Elderts doing what he could to stop more shots from being fired.
"Deedy tried to break free of the grip, while Kollin tried to hold on to his arms," said Byrd.
But as the defense took their turn, they focused heavily on inconsistencies between Byrd's testimony and what he told police, such as differences in who Byrd says was starring down whom, how much Byrd might have had to drink, and whether he colluded with friends to create the same story.
On Tuesday, Byrd said his memory was clear and his story was straight, over the peacemaking attempt that came too late.
"Throughout this whole thing I said, 'it's not worth it. Stop it. Let it go. That's what I did basically throughout this whole thing," he said.

A Milwaukee judge has sentenced one of Governor Scott Walker's former top aides to six months in jail and three years' probation for doing campaign work on the taxpayers' time.
Kelly Rindfleisch, 44, pleaded guilty last month to one felony count of misconduct in office in a deal with prosecutors.
She faced up to three-and-a-half years in prison and $10,000 in fines but prosecutors recommended jail time rather than prison and promised not to seek restitution in exchange for her plea.
Judge David Hansher stayed the sentence pending appeal.
Rindfleisch served as Walker's deputy chief of staff during his tenure as Milwaukee County executive in 2010.
Prosecutors accused her of working on Republican Brett Davis' lieutenant governor campaign on county time.

Hi! My name is Brandi and I am new to this forum. I have a question and would appreciate any input...
My son, Evan, is four weeks old today. YEAH! :D I have been breastfeeding him exclusively since birth. My daughter, who is four, was breastfed until she was three.
When Evan latches on, I have this extreme pain in my nipple. It hapens on both sides. It hurts really bad and after a while, it will stop as he nurses. Sometimes when I am not nursing, my nipples seem to ache some. I never had this problem with my daughter and I know he is latched on correctly. It hurts! Also, sometimes when he takes my nipple, he spits it out and makes a face like it tastes bad. He will even smack his lips and make a really sour face. (Hurts My feelings! :( )
I looked in his mouth and he has some white residue on his tongue - I thought it was milk. It may be, but I'm not sure. I also tried to look in his mouth, but really couldn't tell if he had any white patches.
What do you think is wrong and how can I fix this problem? Any advice would be helpful!!

A Clovis woman attending a family Fourth of July party was killed Friday night by a pickup truck fleeing police, according to Clovis police.
The pickup was traveling east down the 500 block of West 18th Street, which was crowded with hundreds of children and adults who had been watching the city fireworks show just moments before the crash.
Bobbie Lynn Sandoval, 39, was standing behind the camper shell of her family's pickup when it was hit by the pickup fleeing police, witnesses said. Sandoval's parked vehicle then slammed into another vehicle and she was thrown to the side.
She was taken by ambulance to Plains Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Sandoval, her husband Gary and two daughters, Kacie and Katarina, were visiting relatives for a daylong Independence Day family celebration that neighbors said was an annual event.
"I'm really good friends with these people," said Ceki Marriott, who was having another family party next door. "We all know each other. Everyone saw everything. It was horrible. Everyone was scared to death. If that truck had kept going, it probably would have killed 50 people. There could have been a massacre on 18th Street, literally."
The incident happened about 9:40 p.m. Friday.
The driver of the vehicle, Joe Martinez Jr., 32, was arrested and booked into the Curry County Adult Detention Center on third-degree felony charges of vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of an accident involving great bodily harm and eluding a police officer with a death involved. He also faces three misdemeanor counts of leaving the scene of an accident and criminal trespass.
Clovis Police Sgt. Rich Johnson said Martinez initially complained of minor injuries and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released into police custody.
Police said Martinez's vehicle hit four parked vehicles and damaged a total of seven before he stopped.
Neighbors said after the accident, Martinez jumped out of his vehicle and ran down the block, jumped a fence, ran into the backyard of a corner house at 501 W. 18th St. and then entered the back of the residence. People inside the residence then held him until police arrived.
Sgt. Johnson said the incident began when Martinez fled from Clovis police officer Rodney Wallace. Johnson said Wallace reported that Martinez appeared to be speeding near 21st and Thornton streets.
"This all happened very, very quickly," Johnson said. "The driver saw the officer and took off, then turned west onto 18th Street."
Johnson said Officer Wallace turned and tried to follow the Martinez pickup.
Marty Martinez, who is not related to the suspect, was sitting on his front porch across the street from Marriott's house when Joe Martinez Jr.'s truck appeared on West 18th Street. Marty Martinez estimated the truck was traveling 60 to 70 mph. The police car was driving slowly down the street several car lengths behind it and turned its lights on, Marty Martinez said.
"We heard a truck really rev up," Marty Martinez said. "He just really punched it. You heard the roar of the engine. He gave that truck everything he had. I stood up and when I looked to my right, I could see the pickup about four or five houses down headed east at a very, very high rate of speed."
Marty Martinez said he yelled for the truck to slow down, but the truck kept going and hit a parked car directly in front of it.
"The impact of the first car being hit was so loud, I stopped in my tracks," Marty Martinez said.
Marriott said he and about 30 of his relatives and friends were facing another direction watching some small fireworks when the crash occurred.
"There was no warning," Marriott said. "We felt like maybe there should have been sirens because a maniac was coming down the street. By the time I saw the police car's lights, it was all over. It was just pandemonium."
After the crash, Marty Martinez said he saw Sandoval lying on the ground and yelled for a police officer to call an ambulance.
"She was looking right at me," he said. "I told her to hang on, everything's gonna be all right."
Johnson and Marriott said a licensed nurse who was attending one of the family parties rushed to help Sandoval before paramedics arrived.
Marriott said he still can't believe Sandoval was killed.
"She was a fantastic lady," Marriott said. "She was always the little mother hen, always taking care of everyone else. While everyone else was having fun at the party, she was the one going around making sure everyone was OK. It's totally unfair."

I have taken a bit of a hiatus from editing and futzing with the book of my Uncle Ralph's letters. Wrote a few blog posts, searched for pictures in my computer (which reminds me, I need a massive housecleaning of my picture archives!!!!), and now my attention has returned to the book. Picked up on the editing and completion of the Introduction to the letters, which felt good to be back in that mode.
My counterparts upstate are busily working. L is editing and formatting up a storm, and she and my sister have come up with an index by using the family group sheets that I sent up for their review. My eyes glazed over when I heard how they are going about the indexing. Makes great sense, but my skill set would have to be severely tweaked to do that detailed job. I am so thankful for my sister and L as I would not be nearly as close to book completion without them. So for me, it's back to work and heading towards the final push.

If we were to put one person to death soon we would put other to death. The standards for the death penalty would soon decrease and even people with minor crimes would be killed.
As bad as this sounds there are people who have committed worse crimes who are alive.

Sorry, that's just one of my pet peeves. I can't think of a single person in the world who deserves to get ******* TORTURED for the rest of their life. Maybe he deserved to get tortured for like, 5 years, but after a while, you gotta say "Okay, mercy."

i feel like people should get what they deserve. the gunman not only killed the children and adults, but hes putting thousands of people through their own form of torture right now. the parents and family members of the children are suffering because of him. if thousands of lives are suffering because of him, 5 lifetimes is punny compared to that. but thats just me.

i personally believe he should be tortured for 27 lifetimes. or perhaps 1 lifetime for every person that must suffer from the death of a loved one... sandy hook is a very small, close knit community and the atmosphere in connecticut right now is reminiscent of when the petit murders took place

Royal Caribbean also offers a number of specialty restaurants including gourmet Italian fare, a prime steak restaurant, gourmet Asian dining and a gourmet experience at the Chef's Table.
Onboard Activities
Royal Caribbean ships have always been innovative and they add adventure to onboard activities that would normally be restricted to onshore locals.

Royal Caribbean pushes the imagination to create one of the most innovative fleets at sea.

A family cruise is a vacation that everyone in the family can enjoy. Royal Caribbean delivers just that. Their award-winning kids clubs are both cool and educational. They offer a broad range of accommodations that work with different family's dynamics, many dining options that will satisfy even the most finicky, and a variety of activities that will keep everyone entertained. And the best part is that most everything is included.
One of the many unique aspects of sailing with Royal Caribbean is their exclusive partnership with DreamWorks Animation®. The partnership brings family cruising to a new level, featuring first run DreamWorks® movies, character meals and photo opportunities and live DreamWorks shows like How to Train Your Dragon Ice Show and The Madagascar Aqua Show.
Public Areas
With their larger ships Royal Caribbean has truly made their ships into destinations. Here you can relax in Central Park or go on the Merry Go Round with your kids on the Boardwalk.

Phthalates and BPA: Of Mice and Men
Is your soup poisoning you? In a recent study subjects who ate canned vegetable soup had markedly increased levels of BPA in their urine compared to those who ate freshly prepared soup. We are constantly bombarded with alarmist warnings about the dangerous chemicals in the products we use. Especially BPA (Bisphenol A) and phthalates. Beware plastic bottles! Beware rubber ducks! And now, beware canned soup! BPA and phthalates are classified as endocrine disruptors. They have been discussed before on SBM here and here. BPA has been accused of causing everything from obesity to prostate cancer. Phthalates have been accused of causing everything from breast cancer to reduced anogenital distance in baby boys (the significance of this is unknown: there is not even any standard for what the normal distance is).
In the book Slow Death by Rubber Duck
Using a variety of test methods, the authors determined individual "body burdens," or the toxic chemical load we carry. The innocuous rubber duck, for example, offers a poison soup of phthalates that "permeate the environment and humans." From other products and food we also have a collection of chemicals shorthanded as PFCs, PFOAs, PSOSs, and PCBs. None of them are good, and they are everywhere…
Is this science or irresponsible fear-mongering? What does the best evidence tell us? Should we be afraid of our canned soup and rubber ducks? (more…)

The Day After: Action in the 24 Hours Following a Nuclear Blast in an American City
Report, Preventive Defense Project, Belfer Center
May 31, 2007
Authors: Ashton B. Carter, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Harvard & Stanford Universities, Dr. William J. Perry, Former Co-Director, Preventive Defense Project, Dr. Michael M. May, Editorial Board Member, Quarterly Journal: International Security
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Preventive Defense Project
On April 19, 2007, the Preventive Defense Project convened a workshop of leading federal government civilian and military officials, scientists, policy experts, and journalists in Washington, D.C. to address "The Day After: Action in the 24 Hours Following a Nuclear Blast in an American City." The resulting report, co-authored with Michael M. May, former Director of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, summarizes seven findings and recommendations based on the workshop.
Through efforts like the Nunn-Lugar program, the U.S. government and many of the Day After Workshop participants, including us, have long sought to prevent nuclear weapons and fissile materials from falling into new and threatening hands, especially terrorists. But we all know that these efforts have not reduced the probability to zero. It is also a common refrain among policy thinkers concerned with the growing nuclear threat – again, ourselves included – to frame the issue of prevention in terms of a provocative question, "On the day after a nuclear weapon goes off in a U.S. city, what will we wish we had done to prevent it?"
But our Preventive Defense "Day After Workshop" asked a different question: "What will we actually do on the day after prevention fails?" What will we want to do? How can we prepare now to be able to do it? We asked the distinguished participants in the Workshop to catapult themselves vividly and concretely into the aftermath of a nuclear detonation on a U.S. city.
The needed actions by government and the public on the Day After will fall into two categories: actions to recover from the first detonation, and actions to prevent a second detonation. The Workshop addressed both types of action in as much detail, including technical detail, as possible. The seven findings and recommendations cover the following topics:
1. Prevention of nuclear terrorism
2. Responsibilities of the federal government on the Day After
3. Fallout sheltering and evacuation
4. Cleanup, rebuilding, and long-term radiation exposure
5. The likelihood of a second, third, and further detonations in a terrorist
6. Retaliation and deterrence
7. Continuity of the American form of government.
The Day After is a grim prospect to contemplate. But policymakers have no choice, since the probability of nuclear terrorism cannot be calculated but is surely not zero. The actions of public officials on the Day After will affect the lives of many thousands, the welfare of many millions, and the well-being and even cohesiveness of the nation and the world. Carefully considered action by government on the Day After will also help the citizenry avoid overreaction and allow them to restore, through their Constitutional government, the American way of life that they have built over centuries. Terrorists – even armed with nuclear weapons – should never be allowed to take that away.

What is in this article?:
- Farmers hit hard by soaring input costs
- Who will do the research?
- The price of fuel to plow fields, nitrogen to fertilize crops and grain to feed livestock has increased at alarming rates over the past year. There seems to be no end in sight to the increases of these vital agricultural inputs.
For many years commodity and food prices have been so low it's been hard for American farmers to make a profit and consequently a decent living for their families.
Like any business, no profit means farmers will go out of business, forcing food production overseas.
None of us wants food production to go the way of oil. Today, we must rely on often-unfriendly countries to supply much of our energy needs. We see the consequences of that situation at the gas pump as just the potential for tightened supply causes prices to soar.
The U.S. has about an 11-day food supply within our massive food chain. One can only imagine the consequences if we allowed China and Brazil to grow our food and they decide for political reasons to no longer send us that food.
Right now, commodity and food prices have risen. Many farmers could make a decent living based on the actual price received for the food they produce. Prices for Georgia cotton, pecans and peanuts are at or near a record high. Even Georgia peaches are likely to fetch record prices this summer.
But, just as our farmers are getting to the point where they can make a decent living from food prices, another issue has come into play. Input costs have risen so rapidly and so dramatically that it's unlikely many of our farmers can continue to make a decent living.
Instability in the energy market affects more than the price of gas for our cars.
The price of fuel to plow fields, nitrogen to fertilize crops and grain to feed livestock has increased at alarming rates over the past year. There seems to be no end in sight to the increases of these vital agricultural inputs.
In particular, Georgia's poultry industry, the largest poultry industry in the U.S., is having an increasingly difficult time as the cost of feed, primarily corn, skyrockets.
High food and commodity prices have given some farmers a chance to finally rely less on government-support programs. Yet, with increased costs, these programs will have to be re-instated to keep our farmers in business and food production growing in the U.S.
The only real and long-lasting solution is to reduce inputs used in traditional agriculture. We need to find ways to reduce fertilizers, pesticides and water (since it requires fuel to pump ground water) used to grow crops. The cost of feed and medicine to keep our animals healthy also needs to be reduced.

The burden of liver disease continues to increase in the USA and worldwide. An estimated 5-7 million people have chronic hepatitis B and C and more...
Your unconscious brain processes data at an estimated one million times per second than your conscious brain and it evolved around avoiding anxiety. Every second of your body's existence revolves around minimizing it regardless of what action is required. Lack of air, food, water, protection, and shelter all elicit a strong response, as well as many other lesser stresses. The chemical link is adrenaline and cortisol. They affect every one of the over 50 trillion cells in your body.
If recent media coverage questioning the accuracy of pathology diagnoses on breast biopsies has you worried, you're not alone.
A recent study published by Elmore et al investigated diagnostic agreement for breast biopsies between individual pathologists and "consensus-derived reference diagnoses" rendered by a panel of three pathologists. While variable rates of diagnostic disagreement were identified, it is important to realize that the strict study design and methodology are not applicable to the daily practice of pathology.
Are you worried or anxious about getting a colonoscopy? Have you been putting off getting a colonoscopy? If so, no need to worry, you are not alone because most individuals are nervous, too. However, it is important to remember that a colonoscopy may be a lifesaving procedure.
It is recommended that beginning at 50 both men and women start being screened for colon cancer. A common screening for colon cancer is a colonoscopy which searches for polyps. An early detection of colon cancer increases survival rates.

|Here are a hand-picked few of my favorite gluten-free vegetarian recipes.
Winter Solstice has blessed us with a turning point. Daylight now grows longer inch by inch. Or is that minute by wintry minute? In spirit, I suspect, it is both. Christmas is almost here, and the season celebrating rebirth, light, and sliding into credit card debt is in full swing. Carolers are caroling. Gift wrappers are gift wrapping. Egg noggers are nogging. The shiny New Year crouches right around the corner.
And recipes are flooding my in-box for... ham. Roast beef. Rack of lamb. Wait a duck fat glistening minute, here.
Where are the vegetarian Christmas recipes?
I can't be the only person not forking a slab of meat on Christmas day. I can't be the single solitary soul who doesn't treasure bacon fat like it's a princess tiara. I'm not alone in my imaginings of a fresh and lively meatless Christmas dinner--- am I?
Okay. Okay. I get it. I honestly do. I realize I'm in the minority here. That to most folks celebrating the winter holidays in all their myriad and nuanced diversity, meat is the centerpiece of celebration. I acknowledge that. I even accept that. Just because I've been a vegetarian 78% of my life doesn't mean I bury my head in the sand of denial. I cope. I deal.
I go with the flow.
But just so you know? The UN thinks vegetarianism is not only a cool idea, it may be necessary to save the planet. So here's ten of my favorite vegetarian and vegan recipes for Christmas. With love.
|For more vegetarian recipes see my Thanksgiving Recipes post.
10 Vegetarian Christmas Recipes
Easy, beautiful entrees for a vegetarian Christmas include elegant vegan soups, creative quinoa salads and homespun casseroles. For starters-- here's a couple of tasty gluten-free appetizers and vegan snacks to get the peace party rollin'.
|Almondy vegan salad anyone?
This raw almond spread some might call a not-tuna salad. But if the term not-tuna offends you to the core as it did one reader (perhaps due to its deep sea swimming reference to canned Charlie himself), tell your vegan guests it's a light and fresh nutty pate. The gluten-free crackers speak for themselves. There won't be a crumb left.
|Vegan cream cheese with chopped fresh herbs.
I can't tell you how many times I've made this vegan cream cheese spread since learning I could indulge in soy again. Choose a brand that uses non-GMO soybeans for their cream cheese, such as Vegan Gourmet. The crackers are made with hazelnut flour (if you cannot find hazelnut flour, try almond flour).
Make soup.
|Creamy potato leek soup is elegant and dreamy.
How about a bowl of snowy white soup to warm you on a Christmas day? We cook our vegan dairy-free potato leek soup in our trusty old Crock Pot. It doesn't get any easier. And it frees you to do more important things. Like lure a certain someone to the mistletoe. You can also find more vegetarian soup recipes here.
|One of favorite soups- worthy of Christmas.
Serve an orange crush of gorgeous flavors when you ladle out this complex, spicy vegan soup. Mulligatawny is especially hearty when you add a scoop of hot cooked jasmine rice to the bowl. Top it all off with chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, a dab of vegan sour cream or crisp shredded apple. Pair this with a loaf of my grainy Pueblo Bread and you have a satisfying meal.
Find even more soup recipe ideas in my Soups and Stews index.
...to go with soup? Bread.
|Rustic, gluten-free Pueblo Bread is perfect with soup.
|Gluten-free skillet cornbread.
Cornbread is a versatile gluten-free bread. You can bake it in an iron skillet or divide it into muffins. You can spike it with green chiles or jalapenos. Or sweeten it up with cinnamon and vanilla. You can add sweet potato puree for a moist and deeply golden treat. The choice is yours. So get creative. Find more bread and quick bread recipes here.
|Light and lovely quinoa salad with lime and mint.
Roasted Potatoes
|Roasted potatoes with personality.
Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage
|Quinoa stuffed cabbage with sweet potato, Baby.
Green Chile Enchilada Bake
|Roasted green chile sauce makes this easy casserole amazingly good.

Wishing you and your family

Primoteston is one of the most popular used products on the market today. It is very effective in building muscle, burning fat and gaining strength. It is also cheap and easy to obtain.
The male sex hormone responsible for many of the physical and emotional traits of men. It creates the deeper voices, sex drive, aggression and, of coarse, larger muscles in men. The muscles retain more nitrogen, which in turn makes the muscle synthesize proteins better, producing larger muscles.
The downside to steroids is that they aromatize, or turn into estrogen, in the body. When the body has too much estrogen it begins to take on female characteristics gynocomastia, water retention, fat gain, loss of sex drive and testicular shrinkage are all most certain side effects of taking letting it aromatize in the body.
Primoteston Depot(Testosterone enanthate) is one of the main forms of testosterone prescribed in the United States. It is a slow-acting ester with a release time between 8-10 days. The name-brand of testosterone enanthate available in the United States is called "Delatestryl," which is suspended in sesame oil.

Testosterone enanthate is the chemical name of active ingredient in Primoteston Depot and Delatestryl. Delatestryl is a registered trademark of Indevus Pharmaceuticals Inc. in the United States and/or other countries.

hi mamas,
my ds is 18 mo and still nurses a lot round the clock.
He has started asking for it even before and after meals again, as well as an early morning feed (following night nursing and so on). Basically, a LOT.
His appetite seems to have taken a dip and I'm wondering about this, even though i know bm is fantastic! i guess i'm just worrying about just feeding him milk all the time.
Should i be imposing some limits? sometimes, if i really don't feel like it and he accepts it fine then i do say no, we'll wait til after bath for example (this is when bathtime is only 30 mins away!)
Other times though he is so upset that i can't refuse and he is saying 'please' now too, so with such good manners ..
I don't want to wean... i am doing blw...but i'm just starting to worry that I'll make him think he can have whatever he wants, whenever he wants it and he'll grow up all selfish and spoilt because i gave him the breast whenever he asked for it.
this is hard for me to think about esp when so many people can put their opnions across about needing to wean a toddler.
please reassure me mamas

In light of Bullying Prevention Month coming up, 13 year-old pop-opera singer, Sara Stevens was a victim of bullying and could serve as a remarkable role model for her peers. Unfortunately, Sara knows all too well the tortures of being bullied for being "different". Instead of being defeated by the teasing and harsh words, she found solace and a new found confidence, through singing. While she is only 13, some of Sara's accomplishments include performing in La Boheme with the Atlanta Opera; singing the National anthem at the New York Giants vs. New England Patriots game; and gracing the legendary stage at Carnegie Hall. She's now working on her album with famed producer Paul Schwartz of Phantom Of the Opera on Broadway. Please check out Sara's EPK at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkdh6p5NKkQ&feature=youtu.be to see all the new and exciting projects she is working on. Additionally, she wrote a song about her experiences called "Dance In This Dream" to use her voice to stand up to bullying and show the world how music has helped her overcome her struggles.
