The main documentation you need is the explanation
of help files in [U] and of SMCL in the on-line help
or in [P].
In fact, minimally, you don't need any of that.
I just opened my editor and created a file with
this text
------------------------------------- begin
Michael McCulloch works for the Pine Street
Foundation in San Anselmo, CA. I don't think
I've met him. He would probably enjoy the
upcoming West Coast users' meeting.
------------------------------------- end
and saved this as a -mcculloch.hlp- along
my -adopath-. Then
. help mcculloch
shows me inside. Everything else is details.
Some details:
1. If you don't know what an -adopath- is,
. adopath
to see yours, now, or read the help. The very
simple idea is that Stata must be able to see
your file, and the adopath indicates where it
will look, in order. Naturally, stay away from
Stata's own directories or folders.
2. Evidently, you shouldn't use a name already
used. Typing
. help possiblename
in advance is one test. Using some convention
that won't clash with anybody else like
is one obvious possibility. Underscores
are a very good idea as separators. Stata
will then let you type
help pinestreet datasets index
and will understand spaces to mean underscores.
3. Stata itself uses the .sthlp extension
as from Stata 10, and I can't see why you shouldn't
too as long as you follow #2 above. The extension
.sthlp should make it easier to send such files
by email -- should you wish to do that -- and
cause fewer misunderstandings from programs
emanating from Redmond, WA.
4. To get more than a very plain presentation,
you will want to use some of Stata's markup language SMCL.
Reading the help on SMCL will probably cause some
indigestion, but my guess is that only a few people
in StataCorp have learnt all of SMCL. In any case,
you look up how to do some effect precisely when
you need it. Start with the file bundled with
Stata called examplehelpfile.hlp (or examplehelpfile.sthlp)
and look inside and look at how it displays as a way
of seeing how things are done. Or look inside any
help file whose style you want to copy.
5. Some text editors (Vim) understand SMCL and
through syntax highlighting make editing help files
much easier.
6. SMCL can be translated into HTML using -log2html-
from SSC. I don't know of a reverse translator.
7. One gotcha with SMCL that may not be documented is
to be careful about trailing spaces on lines. They
often mess up the details.
Michael McCulloch
>(I learnt the beautifully
>simple idea that you can write your own help file on any topic
>you like from a throw-away remark by Michael Hills.)
Thank you Nick. I've not successfully found guidelines for this.
Might you be able to point me in the right direction?

Guy must be the stupidest excuse for a coach LSU has ever had according to some.
If you truly believe that's what those who have voiced displeasure or concern about Miles on this forum believe then you are way off base.
I just feel if you have a contract you should honor it i dont care how long he has been here.
Game never should've been close. Embarrassing loss. Sometimes even great coaches have shitty games. Carroll had one of his in an NC too.
If you lose in the NC with a great performance, or you completely shite the bed, does it really matter?
Well, I think most will agree that last year was a bit freaky in that you had two obviously superior teams in LSU and Bama, and no one else was close. If Bama and LSU were 1a and 1b, then Ok. State would be D. There were no B and C.
You sound like a Bama fan. I had a good convo with you the other day so I won't wish death upon you.
Nice rebuttal Roger!
"sound like a Bama fan" in that you are using opinion to say Bama was better.
The idea that they should get a do-over/second chance/rematch before a CC with the other factors I brought up does exactly what others in here have said; it rendered the regular season meaningless
You can't have it both ways. Either "every game counts" as the BcS tells us or only 1 game matters.
1-1 or 0-2. That was the scenario with putting Bama in. We already saw the game once. OSU deserved to go based on EVERYTHING we have seen from the BcS through the years.
All day long team SEC would argue SOS, ranked teams, CC's, etc. Why does that suddenly disappear and a "good loss" take precedence?
No one is stupid enough to claim Okie State was better than Bama. No one.
I liked that Dan grilled him a little.
This is how the business world works. Not sure why some here don't understand it.
It doesn't matter if you make $50k, or $4 million. A 25% raise is a 25% raise.

EBSCO A-to-Z is designed to provide comprehensive access to a customer's list of e-content, regardless of vendor or where the content is hosted. Many libraries use a list of resources like EBSCO A-to-Z as a supplement to the library catalog. Some also want to include this information in their online catalog, but the ever-changing nature of e-content makes manually cataloging the titles impractical. Even with vendors who provide MARC files and lists of titles with links, creating an automated process for loading these files is daunting. EBSCO offers a solution by adding a MARC record service.
EBSCO MARC Updates customers can elect to receive a MARC file of their electronic holdings on a monthly basis. This service acts as a single, comprehensive source of MARC cataloging that allows libraries to easily include virtually all their e-content in their catalog.

text: Wednesday night was not a good night for Dennis Rodman. According to The NY Post he was kicked out of two restaurants in Miami for being drunk and unruly. After being kicked out of one place he immediately went to another and this is where you really have to wonder how much longer Dennis Rodman is going to be alive if he doesn't get help. He walked into the place with a lit cigar. When asked to put it out he refused and went outside and sat at a table with people he didn't know. He started ordering cocktails on their tab. They asked him to leave, but he wouldn't. He then grabbed a bottle of wine off another table and started drinking it before grabbing a scotch and soda off the bar without paying for it. management told him they would call the police if he didn't leave right then. I'm sure if it wasn't Dennis Rodman they would have called the police. Maybe they should have. Maybe someone should. If they had called the police or someone had pressed charges to get him arrested then maybe a judge would order him into rehab where he would have to stay and get him on some type of probation and testing where he would have a chance. I know it would be a very tiny chance of getting better, but it would be something. There is no way he can continue to function if he keeps going. There is going to be an end to all of this and I don't think it will be in a happy Disney kind of way.

Comforts of Home
Renting is the way to go. No, you don't get the key to the owner's closet, but you'd just find sandy beach chairs and crabbing nets in there anyway. You get to pick a different sunny destination every year. You get privacy. You get homey comforts like a porch and a kitchen, but without the maintenance or mortgage. Buying a second home is so pre-recession.
Renting a cottage attached to an inn or resort doubles the bonus. Want room service? Have a question for a local expert? Need a concierge to arrange dinner reservations or a spa appointment? Done. Here are 16 rental opportunities, on every coast, that offer all the comforts of home.

Comments about precleanse:
I use precleanse at night to help remove my make up so I can use my cleanser to actually cleanse the skin. Wow! This product is incredible!
Comments about precleanse:
This is a excellent product to use to remove your make-up. You would need a small amount to put on your face when it is dry It also leaves your skin nice and soft.
Comments about precleanse:
I use this to remove my thick, full coverage foundation that I wear daily. It's helps it melt right off. The oily texture is something to get use to, but it lathers up and does a wonderful job. I've been using the small sample size of precleanse and am really pleased with how long it has lasted me.
Comments about precleanse:
I like the product, but as per other reviewers, have found that the bottle leaks quite badly. It's too expensive to have puddles of it leak from the bottle. If this issue was fixed I'd buy it again, but until then.....
Comments about precleanse:
I put this on while Im preparing to shower. I love that when I add water and emulsify, that you can see it turn a cream consistency but then it has a dirty tint from whats pulling out. (Exp after a day in the city!!)
Comments about precleanse:
Removes dirt and debris from my skin and hair!!! Love it!!! Great for my middle aged acne prone skin.
Comments about precleanse:
I wouldn't have bought this if I didn't receive a sample of it. I'm not usually one to buy anything but a cleanser and face lotion, but the pre-cleanse is worth the buy. I primarily use it to help wash my make-up off before I use the essential cleansing solution. I have a dry face with acne break outs. However, the oil does not break me out. My face feels great after I use it too. Highly recommend! It's worth the extra step in your skincare routine for healthy skin in my opinion.
Comments about precleanse:
I received a sample of this in one of my orders and the ease that it removed my makeup was so shocking. I usually just use makeup wipes but they didn't feel like it was getting off all the makeup. But I even use this on days I don't wear makeup to get all the grime off. Such an amazing product, would definitely recommend!
Comments about precleanse:
Omg I got this as a sample in my skin care kit and I couldn't believe that it actually WAS water-soluble!! I am definitely getting myself a full size one when mine runs out!!
Comments about precleanse:
This is one product I CAN NOT live without! I've sworn off makeup remover wipes because I feel they dry out the skin and contain a lot of alcohol in the ingredients. I have no problem removing all my makeup (and I wear the most makeup (liner, liquid lipstick, highlight, full coverage foundation, and the whole yard). I find it perfectly cleanses my skin before my cleanser and leaves everything feeling clean and my combination skin feeling balanced. The pump is easy to use and it's great for travel. I feel like anyone with any skin type can use this product.

Q:Does Precleanse contain parabens? I've been using it, and I love it. The Think Dirty app rates it a 9, due to parabens. Is this an older version that has been rated?
1 answer
A:Dear Julie,
Q:Ever since Dermalogica switched to the pump, the oil leaks out of the bottom after every pump and spills onto everything in my medicine cabinet. I lose a lot of product this way besides the annoyance of having to wipe everything down constantly. Is there any way to change the packaging or make it leak proof. I also can't travel with it now that it's a pump. I preferred the flip top.
1 answer
Q:Anyone having problems with the packaging? No matter how gently I use this bottle, the product always seeps up and around the pump, making a mess.
2 answers
Q:Does the prcleanse have to followed by a dermalogica cleansing product?: I don't use the daily microfoliant every day, would you say this product only works well if you use it in conjunction with a dermalogica product, or would you recommend even if you used a different cleanser after, like clearasil or something.
2 answers
A:Pre cleanse is a highly effective product. It works best with Dermalogica products because a product like Clearasil doesn't contain natural and non irritating ingredients. The Daily Microfoliant is a great product that can be used daily. The answer to your question is no you don't have to use pre cleanse followed by a Dermalogica product. However results aren't guaranteed to be as successful.
Q:Would you say this is a surfactant or a deep cleansing?
4 answers
A:Hello Magie,
A:This is not a deep cleansing system. I have asked the same question. My esthetician suggested using this prior to cleansing, but that it is not a cleanser in and of itself. You will want to follow up with a deep cleansing solution of some sort. I recommend the Essential Cleansing Gel or the MediBac Cleansing Gel.

I'd never had organic, gluten free corn flakes before, but these did not disappoint. The flakes were a little smaller than your usual generic corn flakes, but the flavor was great. Just two ingredients!
Best corn flakes!

Theese are really the best gluten free corn flakes I've ever tried. They taste like corn but without that overpowering smell that unpopped popcorn has. They taste sweet and are crunchy. I use theese for breakfast but also instead of bredcrumbs or panko.

I know it's "just corn flakes", but they were really tasty and just crunchy enough. I eat it every day, and couldn't do without. After using it for a while, I make sure to buy new packets every other week just to make sure I don't run out. Absolutely love the flavour, and love that it could be used as supplements to yoghurt or energy bars. One downside though: they get soggy really quick, so I always make sure not to poure too much milk in and eat it right away.

Doesn't taste exactly like corn flakes but close to it. It's more like Incan big corn mix with corn. It did take a lil time to get use to the non regular "kel....s" brand but is great to actually eat corn flakes again.

BlackBery: U.S. 'Hiccup' Won't Derail Profitable May Q, Says Bernstein
Bernstein Research's Pierre Ferragu this morning reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) and a $22 price target, telling investors to look past concerns over last Friday's debut of the Z10 smartphone at AT&T (T) in the U.S., arguing the overall roll-out of phones based on the new BB10 operating system will be positive.
BlackBerry stock is down 12 cents, or 0.9%, at $14.34.
For one thing, any disappointment with U.S. numbers probably have to do with the delay in the States -- the Z10 was available at the beginning of February in the U.K. and Canada and other territories before coming to the U.S.
He offers the following chart suggesting it takes time for interest in the Z10 to pick up as it did in other countries:
"We don't think this launch hiccup can derail BlackBerry 10's timid but stable trajectory," he writes:
We continue to model a decent launch for BB10, premised on the following three observations. Blackberry has drained channel inventories over the last 12 months and is in a very strong position to start shipping its new devices. Channel inventories came down by over 10m units over the last 12 months, which means most distributors and operators will take on significant initial orders. The Blackberry 10 launch is supported by most operators. In our recent discussions with operators we noted a very broad support, with operators willing to give the platform a good push. Initial Corporate demand should be strong. We recognise rapid share losses for blackberry in corporate, as "Bring Your Own Device" becomes the norm, but the brand still benefits from a significant user base equipped with aging smartphones.
Ferragu thinks BlackBerry could deliver profit this quarter, modeling 7 million total handset shipments, at an average price of $346 and revenue of $3.47 billion and EPS of 32 cents. The Street is modeling $3.34 billion and a 13-cent loss.

A documentary from Guatemala!
What lies behind the myth of the Mayan calendar? How does the story end? Does the water change color? Do the oceans collapse? Does the sky fall as the last tree is cut?
HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH allows the Maya of today to answer, following six young Maya in Guatemala and Chiapas through their daily and ceremonial life. They put forth a wholly indigenous perspective in their own words, without narration. Their cosmovision, in which all life is sacred and interconnected, presents a deeply compelling alternative to the prevailing worldview.

I installed 3 Texas queens in nucs last Wednesday. One Hive just about absconded due to beetles, the second hive let the queen out in a couple of days and she is laying well.
The third nuc gave me trouble this morning, It started off when I removed stores a brood from a larger hive, I found a queen being balled on the bottom board, the laying queen was on the frames doing her job, but the young queen was in a pile of bees on the bottom board. So I removed enough bees and brrod to make two nucs, I put the young queen in one and the texas queen in the other. They were placed a few feet apart on the same hive stand (big mistake) The evening of the split, there were tons of bees on the outside of both nuc's fanning their Nasoenov glands. I never really paid much attention (another mistake).
I was thinking that the young queen was probably not mated or would not mate but I wanted to give her a try. I was going to let her go until today to shee if she was laying but I did not have my hopes up. I took everything out to the hives with me in order to combine the hives if the young queen was not laying. To my surprise, the nuc was packed with bees, and the queen was laying like crazy. I watched her lay about a dozen eggs and could see the eggs in the cells! Good deal huh?
Well I opened the texas queen nuc beside of it and there might have been 100 bees in it tending to the texas queen who was still in the cage (the candy almos gone). So I hurridly snatched two frames of brood from a different hive and placed them in the texas queen nuc, then I swapped the location of the two nucs hoping to balance out some of the foragers.
On another note, the texas queens running around on the frames are a sight! They have long abdomens that are tiger striped, Honey brown and black. Every queen that I have every had, had not had striped on her abdomen...Man these queens look good. Now if they can just lay and survive as good as they look, I will be good to go.

Reviews of this property
The Appartment was perfect for 6Persons.It was clean and we have a Kitchen with Fridge.It was a silent SideStreet from Main Street.
Mr. Thanos was smart and very friendly.
Supermarket was really near and a Bakery with typical Greek Coffee "Frappe"
and Buratza .
Thanos is a good hose,
He pick me up at the airport. He was flexible with the check-in and
check out times and the communication was great.
The appartement was good located and big enough. The
Great apartment, with large rooms,clean and comfortable with a bakery and a supermarket 2 minutes away.Thanos is very nice and helpful guy!
The communication with Thanos was straightforward, he is very responsive and helpful. The apartment offers good value for money and - definitely a plus - kitchen stuff left by other people is not taken away but can be used. We consider this very handy, as you do not have to buy everything from scratch if you want to cook something in the apartment. From the apartment it is just a short walk to the port / Ladadika area, where there are plenty of options for dining + going out. Recommendable!
Really nice and equipped flat, very tidy and clean, short walk to/from the city centre. Owner is very friendly and always willing to help and open to communication at any time. Highly recommend this place for staying and surely I'll come back.
It was my third stay in Thanos flat. The contact with him is very nice and you wont have any problems when you travel there. You can reach the center in a very short walk and there is Supermarket directly next to the flat. I can recommend this place to everyone.

Donors sought for May 22 blood drive in Emily
Donors are needed for the Wednesday, May 22, American Red Cross Bloodmobile scheduled from noon to 6 p.m. at Emily City Hall, formerly the Emily Charter School on Highway 6.
Donors must be 17 or older with no upper age limits, at least 110 pounds and in general good health. Sixteen-year-olds can now donate when a parent or guardian signs a Red Cross permission slip for them. Four double red cell machines will be available for donors with blood types O+, O-, A- and B-.
The Red Cross is using the appointment program for donors. They are allowed 15 minutes after the scheduled time to arrive at the blood drive before they lose their appointment. Walk-ins will be given the next available appointment.
Fifty-six days between regular single unit blood donations and 112 days between double red cell donors are required, so anyone who donated at Emily's bloodmobile in January is eligible to be a donor in May.
The Emily area hosts three bloodmobiles each year with this being the 61st held over the past 25 years. It is open to anyone; all blood types are needed. The Bloodmobile is a community project sponsored by the Emily, Outing, Fifty Lakes Lakers Lions.
To sign up to be a donor at Emily's blood drive or for an appointment, call coordinator Nancy Moritz, registered nurse, at 218-763-3097 or Kathy Harvet at 218-763-2536.

In a departure from its usual production program, Aerial Dance Theater, Holland's own award-winning, globetrotting contemporary dance company, will present of week of "Family Affair" matinee performances on Tuesday-Saturday, May 4-8, at 11 a.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
The matinee performances will be approximately one hour in length, with a ticket price of $2 and free popcorn available for all. Tickets will be available at the door.
The program will feature the premiere of "UNET," a conceptual exploration of form, shape and power - "a look through the microscope... or the telescope?"
The program will also feature the return of two popular pieces, "Bolero" and "Sideshow." "Bolero" is a driving, hypnotic piece about conformity and the individual that possesses moments of synchronized aggression, passion and confrontation. "Sideshow," is a multi-media performance drenched in color and sprinkled with humor, fun and surprise.
All three works were choreographed by Steven Iannacone, artistic director of Aerial.
Aerial's annual spring concerts will be presented two weeks later, on Friday-Saturday, May 21-22, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre.Additional information about Aerial's performances may be obtained by calling (616) 395-7690.

Boston's dining scene has its gaps (looking at you, Jewish deli), but as a rule, it's diverse enough to offer fresh surprises to intrepid diners, especially at the budget-priced end. Allston is especially vital on this score, hosting a UN of delicious bargains within a square mile or two. Yet despite some respectable neighborhood Korean options, we've never had a restaurant specializing in sundubu jigae, spicy soft-tofu soup. Consider that another gap bridged with the arrival of Kaju Tofu House, a plain, spotless 40-seat storefront with table service.
The smart play at any Asian specialty restaurant is to get the specialty, and that's what nearly all the customers do here. To order sundubu jigae ($10.99 at lunch, $11.99 at dinner), you specify one of five levels of chili heat for your broth (from the fireless "white" to the molten "extra spicy") and one of 15 combinations of vegetables, meat, and/or seafood. First to arrive is an assortment of seven banchan (tiny side dishes) to whet your appetite. The assortment varies daily and typically includes kimchi of cabbage, cucumbers, or daikon, little dressed salads, and mounds of chewy dried shredded squid, sliced fish cake, or marinated mushrooms, all of rather above-average quality. Next comes rice in a very hot clay pot; your server will scrape it into a separate bowl, leaving a layer behind to form a caramelized crust to be loosened with a pour of barley tea (also served as a complimentary hot beverage on request). Last comes the soup, still boiling in another hot clay pot, into which you crack the accompanying raw egg.
And what a spectacular soup it is: an umami-bomb broth flavored with dried anchovies and fish sauce, plus chili flakes, garlic, onions, shiitake, and loads of irregular soft-tofu chunks, topped with scallions. The textural mix is marvelous, the tofu like scrambled eggs, the actual egg adding creamy body to the broth, with chewy bits of quick-cooked seafood (like clams, oysters, and purple-edged diced octopus) and more tender beef, pork, or chicken. It's an incredibly satisfying bowlful, hearty yet somehow light, and alongside rice and banchan, a substantial meal even before you get to that rice crust, which offers the crunch and charry sweetness of barely burnt popcorn. Trenchermen — or two diners with more modest appetites — can opt for a combo ($13.99-$17.99 at lunch, $16.99 to $19.99 at dinner), which adds an entrée, like a plate of Korean barbecue: marinated and grilled slices of beef short ribs, ribeye steak, or chicken. However else you explore the short remainder of Kaju's menu, don't pass on that soup. It's just the thing to soothe a hangover, or warm you from the inside on a chilly New England autumn night.
Kaju Tofu House, located at 58 Harvard Avenue in Allston, is open 10 am to 10 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am to 10:30 pm Saturday and Sunday. Call 617.208.8540 or visit kajutofuhouse.com.

If New Zealand don't arrive at Eden Park on Friday morning full of self-belief something's seriously wrong.
Consider the backdrop.
New Zealand were expected to be at least competitive, if not better, in the T20 and ODI series, and were so. England won the deciders both times, turning it on as New Zealand turned off on both occasions.
The tests were different. Few gave New Zealand a chance over the course of the three tests. World no 2 vs world No 8, after all, albeit in the lower-ranked team's back yard.
As they were being bashed about in South Africa in January, if anyone had suggested they'd get to the final match all square, they would have been sent to sit in the corner and rest awhile.
Certainly weather has had an unfortunate impact on the first two tests. But New Zealand had the better of the opening test at Dunedin; similarly England owned the bulk of the second test.
Take out the hours lost in both matches and more than likely they'd have had positive results. What's more it's not beyond the bounds of possibility they would have been getting to Auckland still all square, but with a win apiece.
So now New Zealand know they can compete on an equal footing. Get the toss right, get into the contest on day one and who knows.
That said, it's worth remembering some numbers.
England's top seven batsmen include the world's No 6 (Alastair Cook), No 11 (Kevin Pietersen), No 13 (Jonathan Trott), No 15 (Matt Prior) and No 17 (Ian Bell) ranked players. The exceptions are Nick Compton, who has made two centuries in the first two tests, and Joe Root, who is tipped for great things in the years ahead.
New Zealand have Ross Taylor at No 7. Next up is captain Brendon McCullum at No 26, Kane Williamson at No 38 and Dan Vettori, who hasn't played a test since late July, still at No 42.
England's present attack of Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steven Finn and Monty Panesar are respectively Nos 6, 14, 19 and 30.
New Zealand's best ranked bowler is the unwanted Chris Martin at No 17. Vettori still sits at No 22. The current four are Tim Southee (22), Trent Boult (40), Neil Wagner (69) and newcomer Bruce Martin at 80.
Numbers can be misleading but they can at least give a reasonable guide.
England, unhappy at having their key seam bowling strength drawn by the state of the first two test pitches, will be itching for pace and bounce at Eden Park. But it may not necessarily be a bad thing for New Zealand either.
In Southee, Boult and Wagner they have bowlers who like those qualities too. Whether they're good enough to exploit them, should Eden Park be a significantly different beast from University Oval and the Basin Reserve, remains to be seen.
A reasonable expectation of Eden Park is of a good batting strip, with more carry and pace than the previous two. The pitch used on the ground for the ODI last month had plenty to have tall Finn and skilled Anderson smiling. They were too good for New Zealand that day.
The same won't be seen this week. McCullum said he'd like another pitch just like the last two.
He mightn't quite get his wish, but anyone licking their lips in anticipation of a seamer's paradise this week could be out of luck.
New Zealand must press hard. Think back to the travails, the upheavals since they set off for the West Indies back in July. Seven of eight tests were lost before England arrived, some horribly so. Imagine the fillip victory in the series over England would do.
It might not happen, but New Zealand must figure they're right in the game.

It is really hard to do 8 jumps in a row. If your success rate is 90% on each jump, the probability of hitting all 8 is only 43% (.9 to the 8th power. )
it may be even lower than that though, because as the skater skates and fatigue sets in, the success rate for the later jumps may be < 90% ...
I think the term "consitency" has sort of become a redundant term in figure skating - mainly because of the amount of injuries these skaters incur in a couple of seasons. Mathman touched on it a bit in his comments.
Years ago the term was often heard. In those days, figure skating was more about tracing perfect figures than landing quads. Also the ladies stuck to perfecting graceful moves in the field like the Bauer, spiral and landing double jumps. So it was easier to banter the term "consistency" around.
Skaters also compete a longer period of time and more often now as well than their counterparts did. One does think of Emanuel Sandhu as a skater who could be categorized as not being consistent; however, I believe with Emanuel it was his lack of discipline in training that was his downfall. Maybe that is a better term to use than consistent.
Speaking of consistancy, perhaps this best explains the meaning of the word and figure skating:
This is about Brian Orser and his famous Triple Axel jump. The article talks about Brian's "consistancy" with the jump.

At its most fundamental level, the job of a journalist is to bear witness. In 1999, journalists in Sierra Leone witnessed rebels' atrocities against civilians in the streets of Freetown. In the Balkans, journalists watched ethnic Albanians fleeing the deadly menace of Serbian police and paramilitaries. In Indonesia, they recorded the violence of Indonesian-backed militias against supporters of political independence. Some who wrote about what they witnessed ended up dying because of the stories they told.
In a year that saw both an escalation of Colombia's armed conflict and a tentative beginning of peace negotiations, the press found itself in the crosshairs of nearly every party to the increasingly complicated civil war. Five journalists were killed in the line of duty, while scores of others were threatened, attacked, or kidnapped. Colombian journalists, many of whom had tolerated extremely dangerous working conditions for two decades, began leaving the country in unprecedented numbers.
Your Excellency, The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is writing to condemn the September 16 murder of Guzmán Quintero Torres, editor-in-chief of the daily El Pilónin Valledupar, capital of the northern Cesar Department. We urge you to ensure that those responsible for this heinous crime are brought to justice.
Your Excellency, El Comité para Proteger a los Periodistas (CPJ) le escribe para condenar el asesinato el 16 de septiembre de Guzmán Quintero Torres, jefe de redacción del diario El Pilón de Valledupar, capital del departamento norteño de Cesar. Le exhortamos a garantizar que los responsables de este horrible crimen serán llevados a justicia.
Your Excellency, The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is writing to condemn the September 16 murder of Guzmán Quintero Torres, editor-in-chief of the daily El Pilónin Valledupar, capital of the northern Cesar Department. We urge you to ensure that those responsible for this heinous crime are brought to justice.
Quintero co-founded the Journalists' Club of Valledupar. He was also the local correspondent for "Televista," a news program on the regional channel Telecaribe, and a professor at the National Correspondence University.
On September 29, police arrested two suspects, Jorge Espinal Velásquez and Rodolfo Nelson Rosado Martínez. According to local authorities, both men were identified by witnesses and are believed to be professional assassins.
Many local sources believe Quintero was killed in retaliation for his work as a journalist. They have suggested several possible motives. Quintero had recently been looking into the 1998 murder of Valledupar television journalist Amparo Leonor Jiménez Pallares. According to the attorney general's office, Jiménez was killed in retaliation for a story she broadcast in 1996 about the murder of peasants by a right-wing paramilitary death squad.
Quintero's assassination may also have been prompted by his public denunciation, in July, of an attack on the home of Saída Maestre, a presumed guerrilla sympathizer, in the town of Patillal. Quintero published the article after speaking with Maestre, who was then kidnapped on July 5. Her horribly mutilated body was found sometime later. The right-wing United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) was linked to Maestre's murder, and many have speculated that Quintero may have signed his own death sentence by publicly denouncing the attack.
May 3, 1999 Bogotá, Colombia -- In 1986 when El Espectador editor Guillermo Cano was gunned down at a traffic light in downtown Bogotá, everyone in Colombia knew who was behind the hit. Medellín cartel leader Pablo Escobar reportedly held several lavish victory parties to celebrate the murder.
There were no parties on May 19, 1998, the day a gunman in Cali shot television journalist Bernabé Cortés as he was getting out of a taxi. No one knew for sure who wanted him dead.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

A postmodern visionary and one of the leading voices in twenty-first-century fiction, David Mitchell combines flat-out adventure, a Nabokovian love of puzzles, a keen eye for character, and a taste for mind-bending, philosophical and scientific speculation in the tradition of Umberto Eco, Haruki Murakami, and Philip K. Dick. The result is brilliantly original fiction as profound as it is playful. In this groundbreaking novel, an influential favorite among a new generation of writers, Mitchell explores with daring artistry fundamental questions of reality and identity.
Cloud Atlas begins in 1850 with Adam Ewing, an American notary voyaging from the Chatham Isles to his home in California. Along the way, Ewing is befriended by a physician, Dr. Goose, who begins to treat him for a rare species of brain parasite. . . . Abruptly, the action jumps to Belgium in 1931, where Robert Frobisher, a disinherited bisexual composer, contrives his way into the household of an infirm maestro who has a beguiling wife and a nubile daughter. . . . From there we jump to the West Coast in the 1970s and a troubled reporter named Luisa Rey, who stumbles upon a web of corporate greed and murder that threatens to claim her life. . . . And onward, with dazzling virtuosity, to an inglorious present-day England; to a Korean superstate of the near future where neocapitalism has run amok; and, finally, to a postapocalyptic Iron Age Hawaii in the last days of history.
But the story doesn't end even there. The narrative then boomerangs back through centuries and space, returning by the same route, in reverse, to its starting point. Along the way, Mitchell reveals how his disparate characters connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky.
As wild as a videogame, as mysterious as a Zen koan, Cloud Atlas is an unforgettable tour de force that, like its incomparable author, has transcended its cult classic status to become a worldwide phenomenon.
Praise for Cloud Atlas
" David] Mitchell is, clearly, a genius. He writes as though at the helm of some perpetual dream machine, can evidently do anything, and his ambition is written in magma across this novel's every page."--The New York Times Book Review
"One of those how-the-holy-hell-did-he-do-it? modern classics that no doubt is--and should be--read by any student of contemporary literature."--Dave Eggers
"Wildly entertaining . . . a head rush, both action-packed and chillingly ruminative."--People
"The novel as series of nested dolls or Chinese boxes, a puzzle-book, and yet--not just dazzling, amusing, or clever but heartbreaking and passionate, too. I've never read anything quite like it, and I'm grateful to have lived, for a while, in all its many worlds."--Michael Chabon
"Cloud Atlas ought to make Mitchell] famous on both sides of the Atlantic as a writer whose fearlessness is matched by his talent."--The Washington Post Book World
"Thrilling . . . One of the biggest joys in Cloud Atlas is watching Mitchell sashay from genre to genre without a hitch in his dance step."--Boston Sunday Globe
"Grand and elaborate . . . Mitchell] creates a world and language at once foreign and strange, yet strikingly familiar and intimate."--Los Angeles Times

In her enthralling third novel, Falling Together, Marisa de los Santos explores the powerful nature of female friendship. Cat, Pen and Will meet in college, forming a strong bond that lasts throughout their university years. After college, the girls live together until lively, vibrant Cat gets married—a decision that destroys the trio's special relationship. The friends fall out of touch for six years until an email from Cat summons them to their college reunion. Will and Pen both attend, but Cat's husband, Jason, shows up instead of Cat, and reveals that she has been missing for weeks. Pen and Will soon embark on a search for Cat—a journey takes them around the world and into uncharted emotional territory. De los Santos is an expert at portraying the interior lives of women. Her latest novel is a sensitively rendered, insightful look at the personal ties that bind us all.
Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell's magnificent, century-hopping novel, comes to the big screen this month in a film adaptation featuring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. Originally published in 2004, the book is now available in a movie tie-in edition. In six intertwined narratives, Mitchell tells an ambitious story about the unexpected connections that link individual lives. The book features a cast of sharply drawn characters, each with his or her own fascinating plotline. Intrepid journalist Luisa Rey goes after sinister dealings at a nuclear power plant in 1970s California. In Belgium in 1931, aspiring musician Robert Frobisher serves as assistant to a famous composer, recounting his adventure-filled tenure in letters to his lover. In a grimly futuristic Hawaii, Zachry leads a life of crude survival after a catastrophe wipes out civilization. By book's end the threads of the narrative come together like an act of magic. Mitchell, author of the best-selling Black Swan Green, writes about different time periods with ease and authority. This is a challenging yet rewarding novel from a master storyteller.
In The Odds—his 13th novel—Stewart O'Nan tells the story of Marion and Art Fowler, an out-of-work couple in Cleveland whose lives are falling apart. Facing foreclosure on their home and struggling to keep their marriage afloat, the Fowlers throw caution to the wind one Valentine's Day weekend and risk everything on a gambling trip to Niagara Falls. For what they envision as a second honeymoon, the Fowlers drain the funds from their savings account and take a bridal suite at a fancy hotel. They enjoy all Niagara Falls has to offer, including its casinos, where they hope to win big. O'Nan captures both the delicate moments and the passionate incidents that make up a marriage. His novel is a compelling examination of the fragility of relationships and the resilience that's required to sustain them over time.

I have built about 10 top bar hives in the past, but someone is special-ordering two hives from me of which they want a more fancy
roof style than what I'm used to building.
I'd love to see photos and explanations of all of your various roof styles out there. I tried to do a search for roofs and I couldn't find a thread dedicated to only roofs.
Specifically, what the lady wants is this:
A slightly pitched roof with white wood shingles. In fact, she wants the entire outside painted white.
If anyone has any input on such a roof or other designs, it would be much, much appreciated.

HELP!!! NT Hash needs decoding
I am really new to this site but I thought that it was a very good place to start to solve the dilemna that I have. I have a laptop running on windows vista platform and it was lent out a little while back to one of my cousins. At the time, there was no password stored to log into the cp. Now that I have gotten my cp back, it is now asking for a password and noone seems to know the password. I am not sure if someone came over and was fooing around with it and stored a password on purpose or accident but I do know that I can no longer log into the cp at all. I do not want to use the disk that came with the software because this would cause me to lose alot of information that I have stored on the cp so I am really looking to alternatives for this problem. I have gotten the NT hash for the password but have not been able to decode it. If there is any way that someone can help me to decode this hash, it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

Thanks again,

Jim Beam, Huck Finn, and NASCAR are all generally associated with the South, and while all of these things are also consumed elsewhere in the world there aint much like wheelin in the South. Not that people outside of the South dont go wheeling, but its different neath the Mason-Dixon line. Here in California weve got rocks, and sand, but you wont usually hear someone yelling, watch out for that falling tree. You also wont encounter rocky gullies filled with mud, snow, and Jeeps holding motors built for running bootleg whiskey. When we showed up in Tellico for some Southern-fried wheelin, we contacted Ken Shupe from Foothills 4X4 to show us around the place.

Having tried an iCharger 4010Duo over my recent PowerLab8 I liked it so much I sold both my PowerLab 8's and now own two 4010Duo's.
The only thing missing as quoted above is a battery percentage value. Highly recommended though, works perfect. (Posted on 9/21/2015)

Only thing missing IMO is a battery percentage value, other than that tiny preference there is nothing bad about this charger.
It's fast balancing, 1000w per channel and all other information displayed onscreen is the best I've used.
ProgressiveRC Comment: Battery percentage cannot be accurately estimated for every lipo as it varies by cell. We've looked to integrate this feature, but are not satisfied with the accuracy of the current algorithms to estimate this in the face of changing lithium chemistries.

- Great charger, some problems but amazing serviceReview by Simon
Quality Value Service
I did have two issues with the charger though.
First up, when I unpacked it for the first time, some sort of muck was stuck on the inside of the plastic cover over the LCD. Although it was quite small it was right in the center and blocked some of the text. It was trivial to just unscrew the LCD case and just brush it away.
The second issue was more concerning. The main rotating dial that is a turn-click potentiometer broke (something inside it stuck and then let go completely). But this is where the best bit comes: Progressive RC's service.
I filed a ticket reporting the problem just over a week ago explaining what happened and if there would be any possibility of getting a replacement part as the shipment costs from europe and back would not be worth it and I would just keep it for spares.
To my amazement they answered within hours, had the spare part and shipped it to me and in just over a week later I have it installed and all is working again :)
So I haven't heard of problems with this product from others yet, but if you are hesitant, then this is the place to get it from as you will at least know you have great service to back you up.
ProgressiveRC Comment: This is the first and only instance we've seen of either of these issues and we apologize for the inconvenience. Glad we could help you out and happy charging! (Posted on 6/26/2013)

Rapper Ice-T defends gun rights: "The last form of defense against tyranny"
posted at 5:21 pm on July 23, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Huh. Quite a cogent argument from Ice-T, the self-described "godfather of gangsta rap," defending Americans' gun rights following the shooting in Colorado on Friday.
"It's legal in the United States," the rapper said. "The right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police."
"And do you see any link between that and this sort of instance?" Guru-Murthy challenged.
"No. Not really," Ice-T responded. "If somebody wants to kill people, they don't need a gun to do it."
"Makes it easier though, doesn't it?" the host pushed back.
"Not really. You can strap explosives on your body. They do that all the time."
Well, shoot — he just succinctly summed up what I believe to be two of the most powerful and well-reasoned arguments in support of the Second Amendment. Firstly, yes, if a person wants to go on a murderous rampage, guns can make that endeavor more expedient — but it's a two-way street. Guns also make defense more expedient. People use guns defensively more frequently than they do to commit crimes, and oftentimes nonviolently so — just letting an intruder or attacker see that you have a gun can be enough.
Secondly, if you ever try to tell me that the United States government could never be capable of nefarious acts of deceit or violence, just because 'this is America' and we're in 'modern times' and 'that could never happen' or whatever lame reasoning you can think up for not possessing the means to fight tyranny — I will literally laugh in your face. Those are the notions of a spoiled, passive ignoramus who can't be roused to the reality that liberty requires constant vigilance. Do we really not have enough examples of modern governments suppressing, abusing, and murdering their own unarmed citizens to debunk such a stupidly trusting, falsely comforting perception? A government should always, always, always fear its people — and for that matter, other countries should to some degree fear abusing other peoples, too. I know this quote is unsubstantiated, but I still love it:
"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

MASkargo's operational experience is proving the A330-200F's capabilities as a highly efficient, reliable and profitable freighter on a variety of international cargo flights.
Since receiving its initial A330-200F in September, this freight subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines has been flying the aircraft nearly continually, performing service to destinations in Europe, Japan, Australia and China – with an emphasis on charters. Clothing, livestock, vehicles and general cargo have been carried in these operations.
MASkargo has four A330-200Fs on order, and the carrier took delivery of its second freighter this week, immediately flying the aircraft to Dubai with a humanitarian payload of high-energy food for the United Nation's Humanitarian Response Depot in the emirate. The airline's remaining two A330-200F deliveries are expected in 2012.
"We've been using our no. 1 aircraft with almost no interruption, and receiving our second aircraft gives us some breathing room," explained Captain Raja Yazid Raja Jallaludin, MASkargo's Head of Flight Operations, Business Development and Freighter Services. "The A330-200F will allow us greater flexibility to develop new trade lanes between Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Australia – which may not be viable using a larger-capacity aircraft."
He said the aircraft will provide MASkargo the opportunity to grow capacity, as it can serve more markets with greater frequencies while significantly reducing operating costs and maximizing profit potential through growth, even in the current challenging business environment.
Another operational advantage of A330-200F is its high degree of commonality with Malaysia Airlines' A330 passenger jetliner fleet, allowing pilots to switch between aircraft types for true scheduling flexibility. In addition, the A330-200F's fuel efficiency supports the carrier's strategy to be environmentally responsible as it greatly reduces the carbon footprint in 2012.

Pulaski Technical College joined other colleges and universities Sunday in hosting the state's first College Goal Sunday.
The event, which took place at 28 sites throughout the state, offered free help to prospective college students in completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
More than 55 people visited the Ottenheimer Library on Sunday afternoon as part of the event. People began arriving on campus at 1:30 p.m., and most were finished by 3:30 p.m.
A total of 25 people completed the forms. Twelve students filed and completed the work on the Web. Thirteen did not have their personal identification numbers, so they printed signature sheets.
Student and family comments were overwhelmingly positive about College Goal Sunday.
The Arkansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education received a three-year grant, totaling $150,000, from the Lumina Foundation for Education to implement the College Goal Sunday program in Arkansas.

I'm just starting my personal collection of cook ware/baking ware and I'd like to know what the basics are. I'm more into baking than cooking simply because I can get my head around the idea of a petit four but when it comes to roast chicken my mind goes "--------------". I'm working on that though and trying to broaden my cooking horizons. So, any advice on cookware, baking ware, utensils.... anything you can offer would be well appreciated. Thanks so much,
ps. I just made 3 cakes today. I was on a baking rampage!

Re: COOK WARE
I just buy aluminium pans from the supermarket (though I have inherited a few), when they get too belted up i just throw them out and because they were cheap i don't worry about it. I don't think you need expensive gear to make good cakes. A hand held set of beaters is just as good as a fancy kitchenaid mixer, i have a kenwood mixer and most of the time i use the hand held ones i have because it's less work to get it all out. I use pyrex bowls as mixing bowls because they go in the dishwasher. I've found that some of the cheapest utensils i have are my favourites. Mr rabbit has a favourite wooden spoon that was part of the three pack from a supermarket.

Re: COOK WARE
I believe in investing in good cookware. It will last a lifetime and serve you very well. A few good knives are essential. A good chef's knife, a paring knife and a good serrated knife. I also have a boning knife that I use quite often.
Also, several sizes of mixing bowls. I have a set of stainless steel that I've had forever.
Since you're into baking, you should get some silicon spatulas. They're great when you're dealing with any sort of hot liquid as they won't melt like rubber or plastic.
I prefer nonstick cake pans, too. They're not that expensive and will last a long time if you don't scratch them.
For baking sheets I have a jelly roll pan and a couple nonstick cookie sheets that I use alot as I can't get enough cookies. (If you ever saw me you'd agree )
Ofcourse, you needn't buy everything all at once. I've accumulated lots of things over the years. Some I bought myself and some I got when I dropped lots of hints around my birthday and Christmas.

I have just bought a tefal non-sick silicone cake "tin" and guess what my cake stuck. I was wondering if anyone else has used them and have any tips or might have a suggestion as to what I did wrong?

Re: COOK WARE
The most economical method is generally to go to the nearest restaurant supply shop and pick up what they sell. It might not be the most attractive gear, but it will work like a charm and hold up as well as the most expensive brands. All my non-stick frying pans come from my local guy.
As for other things... It really depends on how much you want to spend and how much of a control junkie you are. Copper saute and sauce pans work phenomenally, but will blow up your wallet when you buy them (US$ 400 for an 11 inch saute pan, no lid). The next level down is cladded stainless steel. These pans work very well at conducting heat, and are fairly responsive while still maintaining high enough density to sear well, but again cost can be a factor (I know I'm harping on it, but the whole poor student thing is a ever present fact of life at the moment). One more step down the cost ladder is Stainless steel with an aluminum or copper 'sandwich' welded to the bottom of the pan. These tend to perform admirably, though if you do fancy sauces/other things prone to scorching the reaction time might be too slow. Most of my cookware falls into this category as I find it to be a good balance between cost and function.
If you have time or are a traditionalist cast iron is phenomenal. It holds heat like nothing else, and will deliver a sear like no other substance on earth, and its cheep to boot. The downside is that you need to take care when cleaning it, and season it relatively frequently. If that is problematic and you have some extra funding lying around enameled cast iron is great (staub and le crusiet are the purveyors I am most familiar with).
As for baking supplies, I will admit to being a near inversion of you when it comes to cooking, so all I have are a few half sheet pans from the restaurant supply shop, a silpat (saves from having to replace nonstick pans too frequently, and a 10 inch loaf pan.
As for knives, go to a brick and mortar place first to give them a test run. Only buy what feels comfortable in your hand. This is one place where I would advise laying out a bit more money; if you buy a good set you will only ever need one set.
Hope there was something of value in this mess.

Re: COOK WARE
A friend of mine has had her Crown Cookware for almost 30 years, it still looks & works great! (she recieved it as a wedding present) but i think they are about $3000.oo these days for the whole lot.
My set was about $150.oo and Im well on my way to destroying it, (2 pans are missing handles & another has no lid as I dropped it when it was hot & it shattered) but I will have to wait to win lotto to get the Crown set.

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 12:24 PM
By Carl Dubois / Special to the American Press
OK, the approaching motion-picture remake of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel is not the second film called The Great Gatsby, so I'm taking some creative license with my subject line, but compared to director Baz Luhrmann, it's hardly license.
It's more like a learner's permit. Or a note from Epstein's mother.
Anyway, among the 10 or so trailers I saw before a movie the other day were previews for such films as The Hangover Part III and The Great Gatsby. Although I am certain the former is the funnier movie, I laughed loudest at the trailer for the latter. Baz ... seriously, dude?
True, I shouldn't be surprised. Search online for Luhrmann and you'll find such phrases as "anachronistic and egregiously over the top" and "usual flare for blingy anachronisms and over-the-top visual drama" and "ruined Moulin Rouge." Or, this: "If Luhrmann's going to use an anachronistic soundtrack why not just set the story in modern or a near future time?"Exactly.
All I know is, when I think about The Great Gatsby, I think about Beyonce and Andre 3000. Don't you? Well, and this:
Nothing says Roaring Twenties like a song from 1967 reinterpreted more than 40 years later in a style that didn't exist either in the '20s or the '60s, right? Goodness, the nightmares you could have from listening to that all of the way through.
Oh, I kid, I kid. But seriously, I think I saw some of the Fly Girls in the trailer, and later someone doing the talk-to-the-hand gesture. But I can't be sure. It all flew by so fast.
I get that I am probably not Baz Luhrmann's target demographic. I get that the trailer is visually stunning and has "energy." If that's all that matters, why not remake The Great Gatsby by giving that name to an ultra marathon set in Monument Valley? Imagine the energy you'd need!
It's true the Robert Redford/Mia Farrow version of The Great Gatsby from 1974 could have used a bit more energy, but this appears to be over correction.
With Luhrmann, you're constantly reminded of that Sesame Street song: "One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong," except in his case, it's many, many things in his films. As another person posted online: "Ah, but in this novel and in the JAZZ AGE, music existed as a force. This method ruined Moulin Rouge because, again, music was a force in the story, and you can't do dumb stuff with it and hope to succeed."
As for the notion that the trailers are made to convince people to buy tickets — and are not necessarily a reflection of the final version of the film — well, Luhrmann's history suggests what you see (and hear) is largely what you'll get.
I am not so closed-minded as to think artists can't stretch and re-imagine the classics, but I thought the point of a period piece was to evoke the tone and context of the period, not those of 80-90 years into the future. As someone said earlier, just set it in the 2000s and go from there.
Last night's episode of Mad Men ended with the song Love is Blue from 1968, the period in which the episode was set (April 4, 1968, to be exact, the day of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, and its aftermath). For many who watched the show (and there is evidence of this online), the notes from the song immediately struck a chord in those who lived through that era, so it was evocative of the period.
One shudders to think of that episode of Mad Men in the hands of Baz Luhrmann. With Luhrmann, a period piece is not that at all. It's more of a ... what? An ellipsis piece? A hyphen piece? An ellipsis/hyphen piece? A period-slash-asterisk piece?
Slash definitely needs to be in there somewhere.

It's never easy to put a dog down and today we had to let Molly go. She came to us a few years ago after a terribly abusive life as a breeder poodle. She had been caged and bred and abused for all her adult life. All 6 pounds of her. We rescued her with the intention of just fostering for a while and I remember driving her home and watching the fleas crawl over her sparse hair. I thought to myself that she was lucky but I knew from other rescues that we were the lucky ones.
My wife, who has a sense about these things, looked over at me and said "I think we should keep this one". That made it six dogs in our house which, if you love critters like we do, isn't really so much. What's one more warm body to cuddle with; one more personality to fill a big house; one more of "our own". I don't have to tell you that hearts never fill up, they fill in. There's always room.
Molly was the smallest and the bravest. We called her the "Regulator". When the other dogs were having a little TOO much fun, Molly would jump down from her perch at the top of the sofa and bark at each dog until they found their manners. Molly ran the fastest in (or on) the deepest snow and always managed to wiggle her way on to someone's lap just as desert was being served. None of us....none.....would turn her away. She was the only one of our dogs that actually WANTED to meet the feral barn cats and probably would have put them in place if she had too. My son would take her out to the barn and put her in his lap where she would wag her tail eagerly hoping to see a cat and make a new friend. She had probably grown up around cats and liked them.
A few months ago she developed a lump on her neck. The wonderful vet we see so much knew right away that it was not going to be easy. We had it removed but it came back with a vengeance. In the last few weeks she had trouble swallowing and breathing. She managed to put on a great effort this past Sunday when company came over and broke bread with our family. We didn't have to say that it was probably a goodbye supper for her visiting friends. She was a champ, quietly sitting on each lap while they petted her bony back and sides.
Molly's weight dropped to barely four pounds and today she was clearly struggling all the time. She was restless but exhausted. It was time. The vet gave her something to relax her and she rested her head in my hand. The resident cat there jumped on the table and meowed as Molly looked over with a twinkle in her eye. Then, she was gone.
We took Molly home laid her to rest next to the barn and under the big, flat rock that the cats like to rest on. The cancer had ravaged her and it hurt us to see what she had lived through. Yet it was clear that nothing in her disease had touched her heart, her soul nor her spirit which now lives on in all of us.
I know that many of you have pets and love them as I do Molly. So, be grateful you have them, understand how grateful they are to have you and keep my Molly in your hearts for a little while.

AVON >> A 16-year-old Avon High School student was arrested April 19 and charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds after police said the student brought a knife to school to show classmates.
The student, whose name was not released because of his or her age, was released on a promise to appear in court.
Police said school officials confronted the student and found the knife.
"The student was cooperative and there was no evidence that the student possessed the knife with violent intentions," police officer Jeffrey Haggett said in his report. "The student was turned over to the custody of a parent having been issued a summons to appear in Juvenile Court."
