Could you be more specific about "corrupt". Do you mean a notebook that
the front end won't open, or that the code no longer executes as
expected, or that the formatting no longer produces consistent
Do your notebooks make use of 2-D equation typsetting? Are those 2-D
equations in executable code or just in text and headers?
I personally have found some instability in the 2-D executable
equations. Given sufficient editing, the code may become unexecutable
and produce error messages that identical appearing freshly typed in
code does not produce. The only "solution" I have come up with is to
use 2-D equation typesetting very sparingly in executable code and then
to avoid editing it. Not very satisfactory.
As far as rebuilding a "corrupted" notebook, my particular version of
"corruption" can sometimes be recovered by copying and pasting the
code, not the cell into a fresh notebook.

Watson won 6-2 6-4 to set up a meeting with German 25th seed
The 20-year old Briton started strongly on serve and made the first breakthrough on the Russian's serve in game four, getting excellent power into her returns from a crouched position.
She maintained her dominant serve – she sent down five aces in the match compared with the slower Vesnina's none, while not committing a double fault against the Russian's three – to win the set and started strongly in the second.
However she was unable to convert a break point in the second game then found herself break down in the next, saving one break point but hitting the next too long to hand her opponent the advantage in the set.
The British number three responded magnificently, breaking straight back with a backhand winner flicked across the court following a Vesnina drop-shot.
She then held and broke again, seeming on course for the victory at 4-2 up, only to immediately hand Vesnina a straightforward break back.
Qualifier Watson is made of stern stuff – she reached the second round here in 2011, becoming the first British woman to do so since 1994 – and she attacked the Vesnina serve to give herself the chance to serve for the set.
And she held her nerve to do so, Vesnina striking into the net to see her record at Roland Garros slip to one win and six defeats.
That poor record should not take away from Watson, whose performance on Court 6 is an encouraging sign that her career is progressing.
The British number two, who like fellow first-round loser Elena Baltacha was put straight into the main draw, suffered an atrocious start. She only held when 5-0 down.
In the second set she was broken for 2-1 before establishing her serve at a more competitive level; however by then it was too late and she was eventually broken again for 5-2.
She forced only one break point in the match. Czink, ranked 16th in the world to the Briton's 81, will next play

I know of 3 peole that have lived in Utah for the past 10 years. They buy their idaho drivers licences, and register their vehicles in idaho. Also they get mail sent to idaho and one of them ownes a house in idaho. Every year they come to Idaho and hunt as a resident, but live and work full time in Utah. Do you guys realize how many people do this. You guys lose a lot of money because your rules to be a resident are not that strict. They all put in for the draw huntsas a resident too. One of them has drawn a antelope tag,a deer tag, and a elk tag. This is not fair to resident hunters who actually live in idaho or to the fish and game of idaho. They are lieing to the goverment of Idaho and Utah. Ichose to live in Idaho and make less money, so that i can hunt here, but there are lots of people that are not honest that can go make a bunch for money in another state and still hunt Idaho as a resident. Say thes people have been coming to idaho for the last 10 years if they buy a deer and elk tag,and also go fishing at a resident cost when they should be paying non resident cost thats alot of money that could help out the fish and game in idaho. The totall for these tags and licence fees comes to $958.50 a year times 3 people times ten years comes to $28,755.00. That is alot of money that fish and game is losing out on. this is 3 people that I know of for sure that are doing it. Just think of all the people that are getting away with this. Its not right and its not fair. Thats alot of money that can go towards managing the game and fish in idaho. You guys are letting lots of dishonest people get away with this. Its to easy to get away with and its not right.
Idaho Code 202(s) defines residency for the purposes of purchasing resident hunting and fishing license. In part the code states that a person must be domiciled in Idaho with the bona fide intent to make Idaho their permanent abode. Simple ownership of property in Idaho does not constitute residency.
There are some checks and balances in place that allow us to help prevent and deter those who are not bona fide residents. However, if you are aware of nonresidents who are abusing the system to purchase resident hunting and fishing licenses you can remain anonymous and either call your local Conservation Officer or the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999. In either case, by providing as much information as you can, you will help us in our investigation.
Those who are not bona fide residents, living in another state, who purchase resident licenses defraud Idaho sportsman and hurt our ability to better manage our wildlife resource.

Hey guys, i'm back. I got a new job and well, have been very busy at weaknet. So far we have released a BETA version of Weaknet Linux, (yet another security based distro (Debian based with gnome)) I have version 1.0 final coming out on the horizon (somewhere close to the beginning of December) we've been experimenting with a lot of hardware and software and security here, and making a lot of guides and tutorials for newcomers. Now, most of this stuff you guys already know, but anyone new here to the forums and to linux/UNIX/network security/Perl/etc could possibly learn a lot from it.
Here are some papers:
Here is a Hacking tutorials videos disk:
33 videos over 1.5 hours of stuff. They *do* teach things, but not verbally, I simply used callouts because I don't like the sound of my voice.
I wouldnt recommend getting the WeakNet Linux ISO to you guys, cos i believe BT3 is far better and its still in BETA. So! Hope this helps newcomers and happy hacking and such!

West Virginias AG has announced that they have signed an agreement with Kansas. KS already honored WV. You can read the agreement Here: The West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw gives his written opinions and advice upon questions of law to state officials, heads of state institutions, and the prosecuting attorneys; handles all litigation on behalf of the state government and
This brings to 23 the number of states WV honors.
On the Georgia page I have added links to a copy of the Georgia Application and Instructions for filling out the application. From what I am hearing from a RTBAs group in Georgia an online copy of the GA Application was never online until very recently. I believe being able to see a copy of the application makes it easier to apply as then you know all the information and paperwork the issuing agency wants and helps make the process easier.
Handgunlaw.us has been updated to shows these changes.
I am a member and Firearms Instructor for the NRA. I am not out to bad mouth the NRA but I have to point this out. In the past the NRA website gave out very good info about the carry laws in the states. They were just slow in updating their information. Well the NRA Has completely revamped their State Gun Laws and they have some very serious errors. I emailed them 3 times on 1/29/12 & Called twice on 1/30/12. They stated they are aware of the errors but I dont think they took my phone conversations seriously. At least that is the way I felt after hanging up the phone. They are showing Mass, MD and NJ as honoring the AZ Permit/License. They show DC honoring a Missouri Permit/License to Carry. They show Wisconsin as being honored by Puerto Rico. This is not correct and could lead to someone getting arrested and Jailed for a long period. There are other major errors that can get someone arrested. They also have errors of omission on just about everyone of their state pages when it comes to who they honor and who honors them. I ask them to take the pages down and repair them as this might save someone from being arrested but they are still up and have not been fixed as of late this evening. (1/31/12 which has been over 48 hours to my knowledge they have know about the problems) You can view the new NRA State Pages Here: NRA-ILA | State Laws Do be AWARE that when I posted this the pages were still showing major errors! I really hope they have fixed them or will fix t hem shortly but I doubt it. Many of the pages have a date of last being updated in Early Nov & Dec. Do click on Arizona, Missouri and Wisconsin. It will shock you. If you feel like calling them and letting them know what you think the number is 1-800-392-8683.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I emailed them once about an obvious error and got tired of checking to see if they ever fixed it. Obviously they have some type of significant problem in that department. LaPierre's idiot nephew maybe? JK!

Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...

The NRA Has removed all their Maps from their state law pages and have removed the listings of what states honored them and who they honored. I figure they got a lot of phone calls today. Now lets wait and see if they repair them or just forget about them and never post that information?
The ILA is too busy with the UN is gonna take your guns stuff to take care of things that matter.
Anti-gunners seem to believe that if we just pass enough laws, we can have utopia. Unfortunately, utopia is NOT one of our choices.
Freedom Doc, Thank you for the vote of confidence. I think my site does a very good job but do verify. I am human and as we all know humans make mistakes. So I ask everyone to always double and triple check. It is you who will pay the price.

Japan urges calm over food export fears
By Shinichi Saoshiro and Risa Maeda
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan called on the world not to impose "unjustifiable" import curbs on its goods as French President Nicolas Sarkozy was due to arrive on Thursday, the first leader to visit since an earthquake and tsunami damaged a nuclear plant, sparking the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in 1986.
In a briefing to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Japan said it was monitoring radioactive contamination to prevent potential food safety risks and would provide the WTO with quick and precise information.
"In return, Japan asked members not to overreact," said a WTO official.
Several countries have banned milk and produce from the areas near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, due to contamination fears. Japan has itself stopped exports of vegetables and milk from near the plant, which is leaking radiation.
As radiation fears linger, Singapore has told the U.N. nuclear watchdog that some cabbages imported from Japan had radiation levels up to nine times the levels recommended for international trade.
While food makes up only 1 percent of Japan's exports, the tsunami-crippled nuclear plant poses a serious risk to an economy burdened with huge public debt, an aging population and a big bill for rebuilding, possibly topping $300 billion.
Radioactive iodine in the sea off the damaged plant has hit record levels. The state nuclear safety agency said the amounts were 3,355 times the legal limit and highly toxic plutonium has been detected in the soil at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
As operators struggle to regain control of the damaged reactors three weeks after the quake and tsunami, smoke was reported to be coming from a second damaged nuclear plant nearby on Wednesday, with authorities saying an electric distribution board powering a water pump was the problem.

At either end of the spectrum of base layer sleeves, long sleeves are nice — but only under long-sleeve jerseys — and sleeveless is versatile but some of us aren't fond of the occasional chaffing and irritation that the cuffs can cause just behind the underarm. The short-sleeve Pearl Izumi men's Transfer Base Layer addresses both concerns, eliminating chaffing while providing enough sleeve to back short-sleeve jerseys without peeking out. The material is designed to promote wicking and encourage cooling airflow, and a mesh back stretches for a second-skin fit. The Transfer is also designed with multi-sport use in mind, so it'll accommodate you across disciplines during brick workouts.

625 Exhibition Highlights HCL Artists
April 28, 2008 – Walk into the 625 Mass. Ave. staff room these days and you'll find a small art gallery à la Newbury Street, complete with paintings, photographs in both color and black-and-white, and even an origami installation piece. For more than a year now the staff room has served as the site of three consecutive art shows, carefully arranged and executed, featuring the artistic skills of eleven HCL staff members.
Art show organizer Christie Gilliland, Technical Services Library Assistant in the African & Asian Unit, had no idea the installation would be so well received. But after the initial exhibit opened in February 2007 featuring four artists, several people inquired about whether there would be another because they were interested in displaying their work as well.
A second successful installation followed later that year with another four artists, and a third, larger show began this past Valentine's Day. While it's not uncommon to decorate offices with reproductions of famous works or even original art, not many can say they work among art created by their colleagues.
"The exhibitions have been very well received," says Gilliland. "Everyone comments on how much brighter it makes the room and how nice it is to know that these works were created by our colleagues."
"People have really been inspired by the photography," she adds.
The current exhibit offers viewers multiple works by six HCL artists, including three photographers. On the staff room's far wall is a selection of four carefully composed photographs by Murray Barsky, Administrative Coordinator, including Umbrellas, Road in Snow, and Mountain Pine. "I am interested in what happens when textures juxtapose, and the spaces between things; how this can become that when it's inside the frame," says Barsky. "I still use an old manual film camera mostly because I like the color of sunlight in Fujichrome."
Another two dozen photos of varying sizes and themes taken by Christine Fernsebner-Eslao, Technical Services Librarian in the English Division, with her Nikon Coolpix 4800 adorn another wall. Locals might recognize scenes from Central Square and Somerville among the eye-catching images of rock shows, food, and structures. "I carry my camera around a lot," explains Eslao. "These are things that I run into."
Photographer Greg Hill, Library Assistant, Preservation & Imaging Department, contributed six atmospheric black-and-white from his collection to the show. Although he now shoots with a digital camera, Hill says he used his old Honeywell Pentax for these shots taken between 1967 and 1975 that include Longfellow House, Along the Charles, and Le Marais.
Another work, a colorful and graceful origami mobile, hangs from the staff room's ceiling. Floating and twirling in the air, the mobile was created out of individual origami cranes folded by Delana Hirschy, Library Assistant in HCL/FAS Cataloging Support Services. Hirschy's cranes have their origin in the Japanese legend that promises a wish or good luck to any person who folds one thousand origami cranes. She has managed to fold the requisite thousand cranes a couple of times although once, she says, her wish came true after only folding 750 and she had to force herself to finish the project. Gilliland and Barsky helped Hirschy assemble the cranes into strings for the mobile.
The art show also has its share of painters, of course, including Sandra Wamsley, Technical Services Library Assistant in the English Division. Although she prefers to work with watercolors, Wamsley, who has been painting for nearly five years, chose two of her acrylics painted in 2005 for this show: Samadhi and Little Man with Red Hat.
Last but not least, Gilliland's own work has appeared in all three shows held so far. A trained musician, Gilliland only picked up a paintbrush a couple of years ago when she signed up for a Harvard Summer School art class. Since then she's experimented with both oil paints and acrylics, and with close-ups and abstract art. Among her pieces currently on display are Hello, Sea, and Triangle.
The first two exhibitions also included Mary Jane Cuneo, Senior Cataloger, Fine Arts Library; Deb Grier, Harvard Depository Coordinator, Fine Arts Library; Shawn Hill, Library Assistant, Technical Services; Mary Hopkins, Library Assistant, Spanish/Portuguese Division; and Jaime McAllister-Grande, Materials Management Project Manager.

History at Northern http://www.niu.edu/history/
A Publication of the Department of History Graduate Student Conference to Honor Alfred F. Young Students In The News
The NIU History Graduate Student Association will dedicate its sixth annual conference on November 1, 2013 to the memory of Professor Alfred Young.
Remember Adam Efren Lopez. Adam, a history major, won the 2013 Emerging Leadership Award from the Illinois Latino Council on Higher Education (ILACHE). ILACHE is a statewide organization that is dedicated to create an awareness of Latino issues in higher education and provide a statewide forum for Latino educators, community representatives, and other supporters for the social and professional advancement of Latinos through educational policy reform, advocacy, identification of best practices, and the dissemination of research and information. Adam is also a Golden Apple Scholar. The Golden Apple Scholars of Illinois program recruits and prepares a diverse group of bright and talented college sophomores who have the promise for successful careers as excellent teachers in high-need schools throughout Illinois.
Prof. Young was a renowned historian of early America who taught in the NIU History Department for 26 years. He passed away in 2012. In addition, Adam Lopez has received both the Rosen and Hainds awards and the Outstanding Student Award from the NIU Department of History.
Uncover, Discover, History
Professor Linda Kerber of the University of Iowa will deliver the keynote address at the conference, which is free and open to the public. Terry Fife, a former student of Professor Young's, sent along the following tribute: It was my good fortune to have spent the 1980s studying with Al Young at Northern Illinois University and then collaborating with him at the Chicago Historical Society. First and foremost, Al was a gifted, generous, disciplined, and dedicated teacher. At NIU, where many of the undergraduates were first generation college students, Al brought passion and enthusiasm for history to a large lecture hall. He took the responsibility of teaching the American history survey course as seriously as he did the creative small seminars he led on the Revolution. Al appreciated the power of visual thinking and learning long before computers and power point presentations were commonplace in classrooms. He introduced thousands of students to the power of seeing history, encouraging them to view historical images and artifacts as primary sources and evidence, not simply illustrations. For those who were history majors and those lucky enough to have been graduate students at NIU during his tenure, Al invested his energies in developing and teaching those courses where he guided students about the ways, means, and methods of doing history. Continued on next page
Continued from page 1 Al brought his own high standards and his ethos of doing history to the many professional relationships he nurtured. Consider your subjects and your sources carefully, he would counsel. Look in creative places and in history's many corners and crevices for your evidence and then interrogate the hell out of it. Tease out your interpretation of the past while you grapple with the nuances and contradictions— all the "delicious details"—Al so appreciated. "Getting it right" was a phrase Al used often as he considered his own work and the work of others. And those of us who learned to be historians under his tutelage will forever and always consider the importance of thinking about deference in historical context. Curating a major exhibition with Al at the Chicago Historical Society was a transforming journey for both of us. For Al, the experience marked the beginning of a prolific period where his scholarship reached new audiences. In my own transition from being Al's student to being his colleague, he taught me the critical importance of nurturing and balancing a personal life with a professional one. Al and Mally were a productive and nurturing partnership. They were a working couple and a couple that worked. In their beautiful Oak Park garden they cultivated flowers, vegetables, families and friendships. While hosting many wonderful Fourth of July picnics and other informal outdoor gatherings, they served as wise and affirming role models for those of us laboring to raise families and to launch careers. Parenting three dynamic daughters with a progressive partner provided Al with plenty of insights and inspirations that informed his life and his scholarship. His legacy as a historian with strong feminist sensibilities owes much to Mally, Sarah, Emily, and Liz Young. Many of the historians Al mentored and encouraged pursued careers outside the academy, making their marks in museums, publishing, archives, and even the business world. Those of us who traveled these roads owe much to him and to his unwavering enthusiasm for "alternative" careers in history. In the process of crafting an enviable legacy as a teacher and mentor, colleague and creative scholar, Al Young gifted us with something more: a passion for history and a road map for practicing and presenting it in many places and spaces. In his life and in his life's work, Al absolutely "got it right." Along with helping shape the way we now understand Early America, he leaves behind vivid memories of an inquiring mind, a generous spirit, and a beguiling grin for those of us who were privileged to know him. A great lover and student of films, Al also offered unforgettable advice on the cinematic front: "Never let history get in the way of a good movie." —Terry Fife

Presidential Teaching Professorship Faculty Spotlight
From NIU Today: To say Professor E. Taylor Atkins doesn't expect his students to conform to his high expectations is an understatement to be sure. Taylor's top priority is for their success. Sometimes professor Atkins becomes frustrated and cynical when confronted with students who aren't academically well prepared or who have little interest in what he has to offer. Yet whether they fail to bring intellectual curiosity, the willingness to tackle challenging material or goals beyond good jobs after graduation, Atkins is not deterred. "I inform students on the first day that I will not apologize for making them work hard, do things they don't yet know they can do, ponder things they'd rather not think about or otherwise hold them to high standards of performance," Atkins says. "The best compliments I have received are from students who did not get A's in my classes but who thought I was fair, appreciated my making them work hard and who left the class still interested in the subject matter."
E. Taylor Atkins
Atkins, who came to NIU in 1997 as an assistant professor in the Department of History and has served as director of undergraduate studies in history from 2005-2012, teaches general education surveys in modern Asian and world history, and a three-semester, 300-level sequence in Japanese history.
At the graduate level, he has taught reading seminars in Japanese history and modern colonial empires, and a research seminar on using popular culture in historical investigation. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. He since has authored a book titled, "Blue Nippon: Authenticating Jazz in Japan," which won the 2003 John Whitney Hall Prize, and edited the collection, "Jazz Planet." Another book, "Primitive Selves: Koreana in the Japanese Colonial Gaze, 1910-1944," was published in 2010. "By bringing into the classroom textual, visual and musical materials from my own research projects, I have tried to involve students in the interpretive process," Atkins said. "I have encouraged history students to explore music as a source of understanding the past, and—at the invitation of music faculty—have instructed ethnomusicology students on historical perspectives and research." Valerie Garver, an associate professor in history who team-taught a course with Atkins last spring on "Knights and Samurai," praises her colleague for making it possible for students to rise to his high expectations and for his ability to make his own intellectual curiosities theirs. "Some students who took our course assumed it would focus solely on military history," Garver said, "Although we approached knights and samurai from a cultural and social perspective, something new for our students, Taylor was able to make even the student more ardently focused on military history deeply interested in the cultural milieu of the samurai." Colleagues also praise his teaching innovation; when students in the "Knights and Samurai" course asked to write and perform a play for local school children, Atkins was their strongest supporter. He not only brings recording of Japanese jazz to his classroom but performs the music for students on his bass guitar and percussion instruments. young minds — is infectious would be an extreme understatement. Dr. Atkins involved in the class the way a late-night talk show host might engage a guest and the studio audience."

Oh reeeeaaallllyyy....... I just so happen to own a VW..... I'm guessing you had a vr6, by your name. I'm waiting on a better job to convert myself to a Subaru.... Freaking 5 or less hours a week @ minimum wage @ McDonalds aint going to cut it!
Anyway, welcome, i'm sure you'll like it here.
LOL, yeah, i've owned 2 diff VR6's. the user name just stuck for me; it's used on all the forums i join. a 2000 GTi was my first VW back in '03. owned it a year, had issues, got rid of it and got into aircooled stuff. since mid '04 i've owned 8 different bugs. more recently, i owned a '95 GTi VR6. only had it for about 7 months though as i sold it to fund the purchase of a '57 Oval window Bug. then the divorce crap started, so i sold the '57. !Cry! For some strange reason i started looking at subi's and found this one and fell in love after i test drove it. i actually still have 2 aircooled bugs ('64 and '74) and an '01 New Beetle <- EX's left in the driveway for me to pay for!
So, i love the WRX. i've done a few more slight mods to it and have more in the works. tires are deffinatly next, just not sure if i wanna look for new rims also. rims are decent aftermarket konig's now, but would like something different, and in 17's, not 16's. i REALLY would like to get rid of the massive wheel gap up front as well. not sure that i'll ever do the rally thing in this car, so i'll ###### start off with drop springs and save my pennies for a coil-over susp. i love the way these look when dropped!
thanks for the welcomes guys. i think i will start another thread to show off and also keep a record of my mods. thanks again and look forward to eventually being a resource for other NOOBS!
Cool, sounds to me like to you love the bugs lol... I've got a '99 mk3 Jetta VR6... Just a couple little mods like eibach springs, intake, exhaust cutout (sounds mean and nasty Lol) and a GIAC chip to top it off...
I know why you started looking at subies..... They share a flat four similarly like the old school Bugs. Lols.... Just slightly bigger, and make a little more power. And most importantly, Turbocharged!
Do you have any other mods to the suspension yet? Like sway bars and endlinks? Or is that what's "in the works"... Also, what kind of tires are you looking at? BF Goodrich makes KDW's that are repectable, and Falken makes an Azenis RT-615 tire that is amazing... My buddy got those all around 215/45 r17's for like $650+.... Expensive, but they lasted a whole year; practically all bald right now, and they stuck considerably well.

Many frequencies used today in our current UHF Wireless Systems were given for the use of mobile services (LTE). The operation of conventional UHF wireless systems in these frequency ranges is not, or only partly allowed. This change is referred to in the industry as digital dividend. In Germany for example the digital change-over will be on the 31.12.2015
Fortunately, most systems are currently available in the UHF frequency ranges and multiple systems with our Thomann frequency tool, so you can see in which frequencies the selected products are allowed and whether they may continue to be used freely without extra costs or registration.
Incidentally, modern wireless systems that transmit over the wireless frequencies of WIFI networks are not affected by the digital dividend. Please refer to the notes in our product descriptions.

A Child's Garden of Death (1975)
by Richard Forrest
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I remembered reading one of Forrest's books some years back, and all I could recall was that the protagonist wrote children's books and was a hot-air balloonist. Someone on the DorothyL list reminded me that the books were set in Connecticut and I discovered there were several in the series. This was the first, where protagonist Lyon Wentworth gets involved in a very cold case because his friend is the police chief in their small town. Numerous suspects, quasi-genealogical research, great danger for Lyon, all lead to a satisfying conclusion. The relationships between Lyon and his friend Rocco and also with Lyon's wife Bea, a state senator, are well-drawn and the setting in rural Connecticut is charming. I will certainly be reading the rest of the books.

Oddities in the Garden, Wonders of the World
By Barbara Ganley, October 12, 2011 - 9:10am
On a table in my house sits what most people, including my entire extended family, find quite bizarre, something they cannot align with what they know of me. After all, I pride myself on being an ecological gardener who tries to consider the impact of my actions on all the inhabitants of the garden, not just the human sort. I work to restore shrub-land bird habitat and wildlife corridors on the acres we steward, and in this column I yammer on and on about leaving the wild to the wild. And yet, there on that table sits an antique bell jar and inside that bell jar sit seven stuffed songbirds of Vermont. Go figure.
Indeed, the bell jar looks as though it belongs in St. Johnsbury's Fairbanks Museum, not on my table—perhaps once upon a time, it did live there. I picked it up at an antique shop in Vergennes years ago much to my children's horror and my husband's disbelief. I am the oddity, they claim, and should be put under glass.
Okay, so it's a bit odd. I keep the bell jar because it reminds me of the year I spent as a child prowling in wonderment through the strange collections at the university museum in the English city where we lived, a museum puffed with plunder hauled back from the four corners of the earth: necklaces made from tiny hummingbirds, clothing adorned by bones and feathers, boxes inlaid with butterflies and shells. It reminds me of lessons about imperialism and greed and human shortsightedness and willful ignorance. It reminds me to be fully aware, to look at the natural world every day in true wonder as though for the first time.
But truth be told, I also bought it because I have a thing for oddities in Nature—not for the Ripley's Believe It or Not carnival freak show sorts of anomalies. Not for the distortions and aberrations of Nature gone awry—the big-as-the-moon double tomatoes or deformed eggplants much as I gape at them in The Garden Game photos. No, as a gardener I've collected and sought out the unusual within the usual, the extraordinary within the ordinary. I seek out varieties that seem strange simply because they are unfamiliar.
When I travel, I scour the food markets for what's the norm there but new to me—at the San Francisco farmers' market recently, I found all sorts of surprises from the Asian culinary world: leafy branches (the leaves are sour, an eager customer explained) and ridged gourds and vegetables and fruits I didn't have the first clue as to identity or use. How intriguing! My first thought was whether I could grow them here and how I might use them in my cooking—what they would teach me about the wide world within the small space of my Vermont garden and kitchen.
To marvel and to learn is why each morning for the past weeks I've checked on the welfare of the new members of the cast of my garden characters: three striking Italian vegetables, curiosities only because I have never seen or even imagined bright pink cauliflower, a 45-pound torpedo of a winter squash or a supremely warty and weighty (25-pound) green pumpkin. Odd as they seem to me and to anyone who comes to my garden for a look, they are common in Sicily where my daughter's boyfriend's family gardens. When they sent me the seeds, I was delighted—something I have never grown or even seen! How would they fare? How would they taste? Could they add welcome, healthful variety to our New England table?
I stare at them, wondering if it's "normal" to look like that. Wondering if our local bugs and critters will nibble at them. Wondering when I should harvest them. Wondering how you actually cook a 45-pound squash that is three feet long and nine inches wide. It truly is extraordinary—beyond belief: a sprawling plant to support a single gargantuan fruit that could play a starring role in a tale about hungry giants.
According to my research, my 45-pound zucca lunga di Napoli can weigh in at more than 30 kilos (!) and has orange, sweet and perfumed flesh rich in minerals and vitamin C. What's not to love about that! Sold in slices at the Sicilian markets, it is used in ravioli, gnocchi, and soup —and so I will slice it up, cook and freeze it for kitchen sojourns to southern Italy all winter long. The dense zucca marina di Chioggia is also sliced, and sometimes grilled right in the open market, dressed with olive oil and salt and sold as snacks. How's that for fast food? Its sweet, dry flesh is prized by the northern Italians, and now I have it growing in my northern New England garden! What's more, it is known to be an excellent keeper—could these be my new favorite squash varieties? And the pink cauliflower? It is delicious roasted in the Sicilian way, mild tasting and retaining a bit of pinkness which looks lovely on the plate. It truly does.
Extending my repertoire this way keeps gardening a mystery, cooking an astonishment, and makes for some great stories. Now that it is October, I'm starting to think about which part of the world to travel to next year through garden and kitchen: Turkey? Laos? Ghana?—exploring without plundering, encountering the rich diversity of this astounding world without leaving home, collecting the oddities while tasting the treats.

I kept my visual on Dad while he went through the operation. And now he is fine. I had sent down my special angel sprinkles to all who had to do the operation on his heart and they did a great job! Now my Dad is out of the Intensive Care Unit and into the step-down unit to get even better. So my 1st year in heaven has been a blessing for Dad with me here to do what I had to do. Being the angel to watch over him and having him get well.
The other fur angels came onto the bridge too and helped to send down their love and well wishes for my Dad and sprinkled their special dust down to help. Too many to thank for their help.
My Mom also would like to thank you all for remembering me on my 1st Anniversary at rainbow bridge/heaven too. Thanks again pups and purrs for your love and prezzies and thoughts on my day.
My mom has been busy today. and I can understand. it seems that my skin dad had an emergency operation on his heart! it was a triple bi-pass done on his weak heart. Thereforre skin mom had to take the best terms of what was really important to deal with. So I do understand that mom couldn't get on my page to wish me happiness at the bridge. Mom, I was on the bridge and looking out the special window to try and make you feel comfortable about Dad's surgery. I saw he doctor's take Dad's heart and make it new again. when they finished with the surgery, very late, I stuck around at the widow to let you know that all is well with Dad and I will be by his side in spirit to ease your stress. don't cry anymore mom, dad will be just fine. I am giving him my special kisses sent down to him. may my anniversary bring you joy, happiness and love from me to you and dad. D miss you and the family very much.
Love from the bridge,
and my mom again is behind with all days! Sheesh mom, you could of have taken the time out to acknowledge it! *shaking my head*
anyhow, the weather at rainbow bridge has been marvelous. all the sunshine and all the water in the clouds give our rainbow a most beautiful color here. I have welcome newer dogs and cats that have come here recently and I fly around to find dogs and cats/kittens who didn't have a family to love them and give them my love. Yes mom, I do that and for that I am totally grateful to be here and help these furs over come their scariness and to not be lonesome.
I have tried my best to send down my compassion to the family who have lost a fur and try my best to wish anyone of the furs a happy memorization to the ones who "gotcha day" or birthday with my love for them. What did I get in return for the rainbow bridge babies for my day. Except for Crystal to remember me and sent me something. The rest of the furs in the group....nothing :~(
I'll just not say or do anything anymore in the group(s).
Thanks for being a furiend to me and mom. (a kick in the pants to all of you at this remark).

F eeling enraptured, Autumn dances in the wind, then undresses.
A s bright robes fall to the ground, her passion paints the twilight skies.
L ike a nymph, she beckons, tossing her fiery auburn tresses.
L ongingly she sighs - September's bliss lingering in her eyes.
I ndian summer days come; then they go.
N ights though chill, embrace her in indigo.
L ater, in November, her sweetness wanes.
O ctober cannot stay forever loving her.
V acantly she gazes through freezing rains.
E ndearments whispered - cease - when Fall loses ardor.

Nature's wonderful garden in display
display of autumn colours in array
array of beauty to share in delight
delight of birds in a picturesque sight.
Sight of swans as they fly above the ground
ground that is covered by leafs as if gowned
gowned by a blanket of colourful hue
hue of earth moistened by a misty dew.
Dew that reflects sunlights shimmering light
light that wakes up into a morning bright
Bright is the dawn as a new day ascends
ascends to where the earth and heaven blends.
Nature and seasons in a divine bliss
bliss of life and beauty to reminisce.

My first attempt at writing a chained sonnet.
Copyright © Teppo Gren | Year Posted 2016
With the turning of the green
the fevered hues engulf my soul
rich radiant reds glistening in the sun
as my heart gleams with memories
of the solemn words that fall from
your angelic lips.
The ornate orange and dynamic yellows
come to life
like those sparkling flecks dancing
inside your autumn eyes. Oh my heart
my heart, rest my heart.
Breathless the breeze blows a subtle scent
of sweets from the pink flowing Amaryllis.
Blow sweet breeze blow off into the night
and on your wings I plant my kiss. A loving kiss
filled with the finest fruits of my harvest like the
finest bottle of red served on the terrace overlooking
the Grande Canal in Venice under a moonlit sky.
Blow sweet breeze blow and onto her veranda swirl
swirl gently into her palatial palace and wrap my love
firmly upon her waiting cheek.

I wish you well...
I'm here, again…
Come riding in, upon the western wave
My hair all wove with golden leaves, my breast
As pale as moonlight on a hidden grave
And all the sins of summer long confessed
I come, again…
In sweeping skirts, with white swan feathers strewn
To brush the summer dust from weary grass
Make ash of aspen, damp the flame of noon
Before the frost freeze water into glass
I bring, to you…
Windfallen apples, berries from the hedge
Long shadows on the barrows, and the chalk
Wild winds to stir the willows and the sedge
And mist, and myth, down every path you walk
I'm here, again…
The promise of the harvest to fulfil
The energy of autumn, streaming through
The swirling springs that spiral round the hill
To drench the land in red and russet hue
I come, again…
Between the longest day and shortest night
To fill the blood and marrow of your bones
With all the orange glory of the light
Before the dark descend upon the stones
I bring, to you…
A cornucopia of ripened fruit
Dark juices of the vine in bottles bright
To nourish soul and body, to transmute
Your thought to dream, your dream to second sight
For I am She…
Am Autumn writ, in every field and tree
Am mistress of the Owl and running Hare
So yield unto my kiss, and blesséd be
And dance with me, oh Druid, if you dare…

Here I sit amongst the long grasses and the reed,
in a solitary place, where my breath is freed,
on an Indian Summer's evening on the lake bed,
autumn has come, yet the warmth has not fled.
Blazing orange skies, are mirrored to reflect,
I cannot imagine a scene being any more perfect,
as I looked up, an unfallen leaf caught my gaze,
spotlighted in the sun's last golden rays.
I noticed this crimson leaf as it began to wave,
the end of a short life that I could not save,
then swept away suddenly by the wind's rake,
and ripples formed as it landed on the still lake.
The leaf was carried away and my eyes followed,
then drowned by the water's surface and swallowed,
windy fingertips tugged it from the branch to sever,
existing once, like today, and then was gone forever.
Note - This was my original idea for the poem "The leaf",
but it was revised for a contest. I just wanted to post both
versions of the poem.

Autumn drapes her lacey hoarfrost
Upon the vanishing vivid leaves of
Colored trees, upon the fences and fields
Gracing them with her demure beauty.
With her breathy chill animals prepare
For Jack Frost's stealthy fall arrival.
When his first flakes begin to fall...
Oh the beauty of it all makes one sigh.
Glorious winter twirls her pristine skirt
And naked trees welcome her white layers.
When snow has covered all the grounds
And crystals in ice cycles hang from eave's
It is winter who has been crowned Queen.
Without her blizzard bringing the freeze
No ice skating fun for eager little ones,
Or romantic skating on the moonlit lake.
There's sleigh rides in the snow as children
Show adults how much fun it can be
To build a much loved snowman, as they
Recall the glory of it all from younger years.

O glorious Autumn of melancholic
Gold -
All abouts the brightly lit
Your wonderful artistry behold!
Tinted bronzes,
Darting between awkward firs
Of sobering Evergreen,
Loiter inside mauve havens
Splashed with palest yellows -
And dappled with many differing
Throughout this variegated Theme;
A myriad of rustling contentment,
Sweetest contrasting charms,
Softly whispering leafy hues...
Hushed...most elegantly serene.
Bursting into the swelling copses
And invading between the
Dwindling fields:
Auburn, primrose and lilac views -
Abundant with seasons
That so magnificently infuse!
Glowering in simmering sunset,
And spluttering in misty dawn:
Afire with all the orbs oozing
That upon barkened furniture,
To thus gild - and resplendently
Now is the time
That dry tinkling leaves
Give musical resonance
To a breath exhaled from
A breeze...
Fanning the boughs roaring flames
That each out-stretched branch
does eagerly seize,
Fired from the eternal torch
That immortal Ceridwen tirelessly
Whilst I hang upon evocative
That this arresting moment briefly
Blazing with a consummate passion
Ignited from a poets grappling
The Muses to this joyous splendour
Were summarily summoned
And brought;
But as elusive as the enchanting
From the intoxicating pipes of
Evasive Pan...
So as elusive the words of the
Unwritten verse
That so evade this singular man.
So burn! You gaily painted colours,
Within abandoned restrain,
Your dizzying carousel
A whirling kaleidoscope
Upon an artists ever changing frame.
Soft ochres and dappled browns
Mixed with vivid orange and crimson
Applied lavishly from the palette
Of Artemis
Over which the vibrant pastes
Are thinly spread.
A riot of pastel shades
All exploding forth -
With the raging power of a
Of an immense, dazzling force!
All hail to the almighty:
From the devout to the Divine...
And all hail to the Grandeur
And Majesty -
Of his awe-inspiring design!

Earth's sphere of fire bids adieu to me
As dying embers gleam across the sea
In rare hues reflected by autumn trees,
Swirling in motion with October's breeze.
I feel the joy this season has to share
In golden harvest that the branches bear,
And I am thankful for this blessed year,
For divine abundance I share so dear.
The sun and moon take on a special glow
As thunder clouds move swiftly with the flow.
Yes, autumn coaxes feelings to revive,
Those mem'ries of past seasons still alive.
When autumn spreads her dress of lacey frost
I know, in breathless beauty, I'll be lost.

(This is a specific type of Aster with full name Aster 'Blue Autumn')
Aster 'Blue Autumn,'
summer wanes.
The shining sky of dusk
is drenched in splendor.
Tremulously, I watch shadows that arrive
all to soon-to purloin sun's last rays.
Aster 'Blue Autumn,'
how you thrive
in fields amidst a throng of goldenrod!
And always you forego
the chill of nights that come
to steal away the last of Summer's days.
Aster 'Blue Autumn,'
Virgo aches,
and you're re-birthed
from star dust that she cries-
to bloom beneath blue skies until the fatal time
when breath is snatched . . . Pensively I wait.

October sky, the 1st we celebrate, a seasons heart yearned treasured moment,
Sun rises, new beginnings, Enlightens nature, we seek atonement.
Dawn lights an autumn's crisp chill, christening fallen leaves of tomorrow,
Decorated front porch memories, earthly heritage, smothered sorrow.
Passes monsoons, thirst quenched foliage, brought on dust storms, summer's breeze.
Colors dancing, enchanting harvest, Orange golden glows, on resting trees,
Cinnamon sneaks by steaming cider, mulls a spiced aroma essence,
Caramel apple, child's smile, escapes harvest reminisce.
A wonder inspired walk, a gentle kick to wisp away,
Tree's blessings, fallen life, decorated memories of yesterday.
Crisp leaves falling, sprinkled mist, dripping dew drops land by chance,
Hearts pitter pattered warmth speaks, provoking sudden dance.
Fawns brook side, a mother's love, protectant father thru seasons dressing,
Such beauty grace lingers freely, coins free, bestows natures blessing.
Falls door opens, touched hearts so deeply, awakened sober love outpours,
God's mystique he created goodness, for all of us he adores.
Daylights autumn beauty, followed by nightfall's tucked in kiss,
A glowing lullaby, we're put to bed; our harvests moon we've greatly missed.

Long gone are the golden
Dusty days!
Where once, like Blazons
On Armorial Shields,
The gathered bronze sheaths
stood -
Cut through at the stalk...
Raised from time honoured
Burnished like brushed copper
By high summers slanted rays:
That were sliced so thinly
From the thickening air,
As they brightly
Caught the hot glare,
From the grass mowers blades.
For the singing scythes,
Once wielded so ably
By strong, capable arms,
Are standing abandoned and
Blunted, left rusting,
Languishing alone
In damp, dilapidated barns.
Now their songs are forgotten -
Lost within a woeful winds
Blown far out
From the green meadows;
Separated from their verses
Once sung so heartily
With purposeful,
Lusty, well practiced intent.
So think you all well,
Next time you pause
Your drawn eye,
Upon Englands rich harvests
Of ripened barley,
Yellow wheat, and stiff rye...
To dwell on the lost seasons
With melancholy tears...
And think of the old reaper
Who cuts back at the years!

On a desolate splendor of this autumn night
We listen to the serene call of the gleaming moonlight
Deciduous trees stand tall to acclaim its magnificence
Conducting the melodious whispers of the cold and gentle wind
As each golden neon foliage shimmers and pirouettes on view
You hold me tight as I hold you, too
For this autumn night will rise the citadel of love…just me and you

God's inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the fall season, bursting forth onto
The leaves once evergreen.
Colors of crisp snapping, auburn reds, fires aglow oranges, and
Subdued darken browns to contrast the mixtures blending, created
By the masterful hands of a higher powers creativity.
Tender timbers mutated into a glorious display of light and color,
Splashing the palette array of natural beauty.
Blessed in magnificence the lord hushes and stills, the mortal heart,
As inspiration captures the poets ink pen to write,
Upon the empty parchment page.
Strolling lovers huddle together, beneath a wondrous tapestry,
A canopy of leaf petals, that descend as it is caressed
By a chilling fall breeze.
Whispering softly in each others ears tender words
Sweet nothings, youth in utter splendor wrapped
Embraced in loves devotional shawl of emotions.
Behold vows promises of perfection uniting
These spirits of fall, united against the winter
Winds forever more.
Cold and slain lay the roses of summer, yet within
The wild heart of innocence, the flame of desire
Shall not flicker out, nay it lives strong in the young,
A blossom of delicate distention is true loves flower.
Oh in timeless remembrance as years will pass,
And only one shadow remains between these two
Souls united joined in life as one.
Shall beyond another single silhouette awaits,
Tracing these burnt ambers of autumn from long ago,
In cascading showers of melted colors of memory.
In angels tears a gentle rain does fall, yet a smile
Crosses the face of this eternal love, a blessings
Promise in one word spoken, always.
God's inspirational napalm set ablaze upon the trees of autumn,
Welcome to the ascension of the season, bursting forth onto
The leaves of the evergreen.

i am surrounded by a blaze of flaming colors in God's garden.
autumn happily creating with her palette in hand the September scape.
a thousand shades of reds, yellows, browns, earth tones spread,
blended perfectly by the artist's loving hand, a sensual delight.
a masterpiece, sketched against a bark colored scrim of nature's flesh.
with my eyes opened wide and my body clothed in autumns light
quenched but still wanting, unwillingly i stagger away, drunk from exposure.

September lovely September
Immerse us in colorful splendor
The next thirty days
Please thrill and amaze
With beauty we'll always remember
September lovely September
Embrace Mother Nature so tender
She may blush bright red
Turning down flower beds
While summer honorably surrenders
September lovely September
Full moon of harvest you'll render
Though lovers may stare
And dreamers may dare
You'll always be autumn's defender

Come dance with me, my winged escape
and skip the skies in flight
we'll let the wind lick at our nape
and subtle touch invite.
Our cares we'll toss to milky moon
and resonate our silky tune-
our cares we'll toss
our cares we'll toss
in freedom's name our love commune.
Come float with me, my winged escape
on billowed waves of blue
we'll lift the night mist's heavy drape
and sail on moonbeams through.
This golden eve will whisper dreams
on silver sheets where all it seems-
this golden eve
this golden eve
cascades our love down rushing streams.
Come bloom with me my winged escape
in midnight's breathless hour
my petals spread 'neath stardust cape
to nature's heady power.
We'll give ourselves to Spring's last rites
awaken sleeping appetites
we'll give ourselves
we'll give ourselves
and Autumn's zenith expedite.

An Autumn Portrait of Beauty
On this quite beautiful and most radiant Autumn day,
I marvel at Mother Nature's smile of silent pulchritude,
As I make a loving glance at such luscious scenery today,
In this country scene—a glorious gift of God's certitude!
The trees and their fallen amber leaves adorn this Earth,
As a shimmering reflection pervades from a green pond,
Of Nature's wonder with colors arrayed in a sacred rebirth,
Affirming God's heavenly promise true and His holy bond!
This view of trees, grass, leaves, and a shadow near the pond,
Captures the glory and grace from God's colored-palette a true,
That affirms His desire of rendering this beauty from beyond,
And I thank Him from my heart with joy and blessings so true!
Yes, God doth paint this world with such love for all to see,
His Autumn portrait here is of unparalleled artistry and grace,
That I interpret as a heavenly-made moment for all of us to be,
As I reaffirm the beauty of Nature's gift in this wondrous place!

Brocade lobes with silver traces
creating nature's alchemy
pale thread of life it embraces,
against chilled dusk's pure scenery.
Will wonder's eyes engage and see
the beauty of a fallen leaf
whose precious moment shines too swift?
Or, will it, fading, simply crush
this brittle lace from autumn's gift
beneath the pile of burial rush.

Splendor of Autumn in its glorious bloom
Bestowing us with nature's gifts precious
Fragrant orchards with their ripened looms
Tempting aroma of the fruits luscious.
To the Autumn born, the season appeals
As I inhale lungfuls of the festive air
Drum beats reverberate, child's gleeful squeals
We celebrate Autumn with unique flair!
Auburn hues of the flora flourishing
Trekking dry hilly trails with impish pride
Vibrant beauty of fauna simply ravishing
Toddler enjoying his piggy back ride!
Armed with dry sticks tiny hands fiddle
To catch the colorful flipping butterflies
Beneath pattering feet crispy leaves crinkle
The sail-boat clouds drifting through blue-glass skies.
On a pond blossoming with lilies and lotuses
They empty their left-over dewy wet delights
Nature basks in sunlight's golden caresses
The whole cosmos soaks in wonderful sounds and sights!

October brings us panoramic scenes
Picassoesque impressionistic style
From reds to browns and earth tones in between
When nature paints those landscapes that beguile
The helpful sun provides hot yellow paint
Which bleeds and blends from mountains to the seas
There are no signs that nature shows restraint
As hues are scattered by the autumn breeze
Yet with her madness comes a masterpiece
The reason for spring's jealousy of green
Before her creativity has ceased
Her orange and black spills on Halloween
October means peace, love, and harmony
Get with your friends, enjoy fall's scenery

Crackling leaves
Laughing with delight
As they swirl and twirl
In the crimson light
Around the bond fire
Snapping flames
Glowing in the night
Near the lake
The water breaking
As the birds take flight
Frosty orange pumpkins
Watching from the vine
On the porch
Kegs of apple cider
And cherry wine
Crispy whispers
Blowing through the pines
As the magic spell of autumn
Once again unwinds.

The wheels of twilight spin sunset hues upon the sea
And shadows fall where summer used to be
The flights have ceased, and many will now flee
As September steals the wings that flutter free
She will play a tune upon each leaf
Their dance, alas, is all too brief
Summer's kiss was just a passing bloom
Autumn fashions the sky with gloom
She'll cast her spell where summer meets the sun
And thus enchanted, the sun will slowly fade
Soon the leaves will be undone
And she'll wave her wand upon the glade
But her many colors are a promise kept
Her winsome whispers we must accept
And as she flows into the midnight sky
We'll rise at dawn, to bid sweet summer, goodbye.

Seasons come
And seasons go
In all of the above
Her colours flow
Just like pages
In a book
What the seasons bring
Are worth a look
Spring brings life
In many ways
The sun radiates
From warm awesome rays
The summer oozes
With blooms and colours
Greenery greens
Canopy covers
The winter decides
Who lives and dies
The reader dissects
In passionate cries
But the season for me
Are the Autumn Pages
It's decision to end
In colourful stages
This poem came to me as i was reading poems by Autumn Page.

Amidst the scorching heat of the sun
Everyone likes to feel its glowing colors all around
Children tossed up and down those kaleidoscopic leaves
As they giggle, roll on the ground and jig
Leaves are like colorful petals and butterflies
Huddling all in their salubrious place of plight
One Autumn Day is truly a nature's rhapsodic show in our sight

Among the long grass of the land and reed,
there is a lonely place where thoughts are freed,
Saint Martin's summer spreads upon the lake
in warm conditions all domains partake.
The blazing, orange skies, on earth reflect
perfection's lingering details connect
a red, still hanging leaf has caught my gaze
spotlighted in the sun's last golden rays.
This leaf, upon the branch, began to wave,
(it's ending, little life I could not save),
and swept away by Autumn's windy rake,
imprinted ripples on the peaceful lake.
The leaf was carried, as my eyes complied,
then drowned inside the lake's blue waves that shied,
the sweeping northern gust, the leaf discerped,
that neath the surface is forever kept.
