This is hard for me.
I guess I'm just a bad student.
Oh well, not for long. I realized that these next couple of weeks are going to be the worst that it gets for, like, at least seven months. Barring unforseen tragedy or medical problems.
I don't WANT to do any more of this, is the bottom line. I want to make a SNOW FORT, or bake some cookies, or watch movies, or write a letter, or sleep for sixteen hours. Anything, really.
I'll probably be pretty torn up from lack of sleep in a couple of days, so I bet time speeds up accordingly.
Oh and by the way I knew I was in bad shape last night when I was watching A (that Aum Shinrikyo documentary) and I thought, Hey, maybe joining some new age pseudo-Buddhist cult isn't such a bad idea. At least they keep vegetarian.

Hey friends,
I'm online for a few minutes, and wanted to check in.
My friends here are aware of my financial situation, so I wanted to let you know I just had a phone interview for a job in my field that would pull us out of the abyss.
I saw it online, sent my resume and was called back within the hour. Somehow I missed the ad for days, posted on two sites, that I diligently check! (????)
Anyway, he said they are looking for 3 people for a new contract, and I' one of TWO that are qualified so far.
Their client has final approval, and they will look at my resume Tuesday, so I'll hear back hopefully by Wednesday.
If ever I need prayers, crossed fingers and positive vibes to influenece an outcome, this it.
It's do of die. If I get this, I may be able to salvage our lease. If not, I'll probably be homeless by the end of the week.
Thanks friends.

New Delhi: Former India captains felt Mahendra Singh Dhoni's "tactical errors" and the poor form of some senior players were the main reasons for India's exit from the World Twenty20.
While Ravi Shastri said the national selectors should have given opportunity to the youngsters, Sunil Gavaskar felt Indian cricket is at the crossroads and also criticised Dhoni's decisions.
Here's what the former captains had to say (in alphabetical order):
Sunil Gavaskar: Indian cricket is now at the crossroads. We have not been able to do well in the two shorter formats of the game in which we have dominated. We won the World Twenty20 in 2007 and then won the 50-over World Cup last year. But we have been struggling since then. This is something we have to look into. We have to put our heads together and find out why this has been happening.
I'm not saying that there should be an inquiry or a report being sought from the coach. I'm also not saying that heads will have to be rolled and there is need for change of captaincy.
What I feel is we may have gone wrong in the tactical aspect. You need to tweak here and there. I feel we went wrong tactically in the tri-series in Australia and then Asia Cup and now World Twenty20. We could have done things differently but I'm not suggesting change in captaincy.
Anil Kumble: There is no point when your best bowler (Ravichandran Ashwin) bowls when there are only 25 runs to defend. So that was surprising.
Out of five top batsmen, you expect one to fire and make impact, score a 18-ball 50 but it did not happen.
Ravi Shastri: I would have given opportunity to young players. Ashok Dinda, Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma… We have all forgotten Ishant but he still has a big role to play in Indian cricket. If you look at batting, Ambati Rayudu, Ajinkya Rahane, Murali Vijay are young guys who have shown promise. It's time to get a better mix of youth and experience. If you look at Zaheer Khan, he needs to be rested.
Dilip Vengsarkar: Luck did not favour us. The T20 format is such that luck plays a more important role than skill.
Ajit Wadekar: Probably we could have played an additional spinner with Harbhajan Singh's return to the team. I felt the team deserved to be at least in the semi-finals.

Does anyone have any experiences with Dees Doggie Den in Dallas?
I'd like to hear it all - good things, bad things, things you noticed or would change!
I've never boarded either of my dogs EVER, but if I ever thought about doing it I wanted to go with "the works" presented at Dees Doggie Den's website, (suite, Chloe would get playtime during the day, etc.) But, knowing more than what's presented at a website is better - so please, tell me ALL!

Howl-dy Chloe! We've never been IN Dees Doggie Den, but Mom had to go there to sign up for the Walk n Wag. They didn't go in bee-cause it was on Mom's lunch hour and they had a table set up outside for picking up your registration.
She did notice a sign on the door that puzzled her. It said "Do not pet the dogs. Not even your own" or something like that. She asked the lady why you couldn't pet your own dog. She said that bee-cause some dogs get possessive of their owners or the excitement for everywoof would cause a fight.

Do you believe that you've been chasing success for too long? Would you say that it has eluded you so far?
Let's discuss Edgar Allan Poe for a second, because he knew well the art of writing without someone to hold your hand from the first tentative line to that final, heavenly draft you ship off to print.
In "Literary Life of Thingumbob, Esq." Poe introduces the reader to young Thingum, son to a merchant-barber who had invented a delectable salve, the Oil-of-Bob. You never find out precisely what it is or what it does, but that's neither here nor there.
Thingum wishes to follow the Orphic path and write paeans to the Oil-of-Bob, so his father, with unimpeachable generosity, sets him up in a garret with voluminous reams of paper, bottles upon bottles of ink, and a copy of the Gad-fly, one of the periodicals where Thingum will pursue publication.
|Orpheus was killed and eaten by women in a Bacchic frenzy.
This is a snap from Gregorio Lazzarini's instagram.
"In my first attempts at composition," says Thingumbob, "I found the stanzas to "The Oil-of-Bob" rather a drawback than otherwise. Their splendor more dazzled than enlightened me. The contemplation of their excellence tended, naturally, to discourage me by comparison with my own abortions; so that for a long time I labored in vain. At length there came into my head one of those exquisitely original ideas which now and then will permeate the brain of a man of genius. (...)
"From the rubbish of an old book-stall, in a very remote corner of the town, I got together several antique and altogether unknown or forgotten volumes. The bookseller sold them to me for a song. From one of these, which purported to be a translation of one Dante's "Inferno," I copied with remarkable neatness a long passage about a man named Ugolino, who had a parcel of brats."
[emphases mine]
So Thingumbob hacks together these horrible mashups of ancient poems and, with supreme confidence, sends them out to any literary journal he can think of.
The editors of said journals waste no time. In modern parlance, they tear him a new one. Their knee-jerk reaction is to pillory our poor Thingumbob, but the way they criticize Thingum's lines show that they are just as ignorant as he is. Not one accuses him of plagiarism.
"'Oppodeldoc?' [Thingumbob's pen name] is respectfully informed that there is not a printer's devil in our office who is not in the daily habit of composing better lines," wrote the editor of the Lollipop.
Better lines than
"Achilles' wrath, to Greece the direful spring"
from the Iliad.
Thingumbob doesn't accomplish anything until he gives up copying others and pens a two-line poem of his own about the Oil-of-Bob. The poem itself is meaningless and, having realized that 'Oppodeldoc' dug his own grave, Thingum now signs his composition 'Snob.'
To cut a long story short, 'Snob' goes places. People want to shake his hand. Editors fawn over his mediocrity.
What does Poe's condensed bildungsroman mean to you, writing today?
For one, that people of discerning taste are few and far between. You don't have to spend your entire career in obscurity, but there's no guarantee of a breakout. Thingumbob only gets the kind of attention he was looking for when he decides to be himself. No matter the outcome.
At least partially aware of his failings, the young Thingum no longer hides his lack of talent. The poets of the past overshadow him and he suspects it, except he won't confess it.*
We all owe a debt of gratitude to the ones who came before us. Virgil, Homer, Seneca, Aeschylus, Euripides, Pope, de Troyes, and so many others — they survived because — and I'm pretty sure of this — they wrote from the heart. I'm not saying that they despised convention but saw it as the framework into which they could pour their personal imaginarium.**
I'm not telling you to write crap. There are enough people making enough noise right now — just adding to the noise, nothing special about the particular frequencies they produce. But this cloud of static has one good thing about it, in that it gives you an horizon and the freedom to look up at the stars.
"Genius is no more than childhood recaptured at will, childhood equipped now with man's physical means to express itself, and with the analytic mind that enables it to bring order into the sum of experience, involuntarily amassed."
—Charles Baudelaire
*Thingumbob is one of the most unreliable narrators in the history of western fiction.
*In line with continental philosophical tradition, I use this word idiosyncratically. If the French gentleman with the funny glasses can use aporia to mention the logical limits of language, then I get to use imaginarium as I see fit. So there.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
So what exactly's going to happen to Forum and "The Program"?
I'm sure by now everyone knows that Burton has dropped Forum, Foursquare, and Special Blend.
My question is, what exactly does this mean? Are they going to remain their own companies (possibly be bought out by someone else?), or are they going to be non existent?
This personally saddens me, because I've always loved Forum boards and who can forget their past teams and films?
I hope that if they do get bought out, that they don't become another M3, Lamar, Morrow type story. I would rather see them end with some dignity than to become a cheap bundle type brand sold on amazon or big box stores.

#3805 closed Bug (fixed)
The SCAYT plugin is disabled in IE
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|CKEditor 3.0
|UI : Spell Checker
|SVN (CKEditor) - OLD
|Confirmed IE Review+
Because of #3802, we've been forced to disable the SCAYT plugin in IE. We should instead fix an re-enable it.

comment:1 Changed 8 years ago by SpellChecker.net
Updated comments from 3726, taking into account comments #3802: we are able to reproduce the problem in specific conditions.
We have re-tested the nightly build at demo nightly.ckeditor.com, nightly build deployed to our testing environment, nightly build from the file system. We got following results:
- on the file system configuration all of IE (6,7,8) hangs when trying to enable SCAYT
- on the nightly.ckeditor.com we can reproduce the problem in specific conditions.
- on the own testing environment we can not reproduce the problem in specific conditions.
details on "specific conditions": we are using virtual machine with 256MB of RAM and single CPU and with windows XP SP2, without any updates installed to test IE6 environment.
When we just start IE process, open sample page and enable SCAYT - browser may work for some period of time fine without consuming 100% of CPU. That's why we were not able to reproduce the problem at
When we start IE, open sample page, and reloading this page several times (3-5) - we can reproduce the problem with 100% probability.
One thing we have noted during this testing: if page with editor is reloaded in IE6 then IE6 consume about 3MB of additional memory for each CKeditor instance on the page: if we have sample page with one instance of editor on the page each reload adds about 3MB of memory to IEXPLORE.EXE process, if we have two instances then each reload adds about 6MB of memory to IEXPLORE.EXE process. We have tested it in the last SVN version with SCAYT plug-in disabled in all IEs.
The problem can not be reproduced in IE7 and 8.
Does it make a sense to change the patch so it does disable SCAYT plug-in not in all IEs environment, but only in IE6 for now?
Does it make a sense to disable SCAYT in file system or any other non hosted environments , i.e. only when protocol is not http or https?
We plan to perform additional testing for IE6 and will update this ticket.
comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by SpellChecker.net
We finally reproduced conditions when SCAYT freezes in IE. We need to fix this problem in the SCAYT core. SCAYT freezes right after the point symbol is typed (as described in Martin's screencast).
The problem is actual for all IE.
We'll update this ticket when the problem will be resolved.

New Gun Laws in Connecticut
I need to vent.
I live in CT. They are about to pass what is being called the strictest gun control law in the country, this in response to the Newtown shooting.
First, let me be clear. I have no problem with
laws pertaining to weapons ownership. I am not so naive as to think that we're ever going to see a country with virtually no restrictions on weapons ownership. So I am okay with saying that persons convicted of violent felonies should not be allowed to own guns. (However, I do not agree that persons convicted of non-violent felonies should be barred from gun ownership.)
But the new CT laws go way too far. They are not about protecting anyone. They are about punishing all gun owners for the actions of a lone, deranged individual. If you have not yet read about the new laws, you should. They are a doozy.
And here's the thing: The new CT laws don't even address one of the key central characteristics of the Newtown shooting; that is, that the guns used in Newtown were for all practical purposes stolen. It is my understanding that they belong to the mother, and that the shooter took them from the gun safe. So why didn't the CT legislature respond by increasing penalties for anyone who steals another person's gun?
Instead, the laws require permits to buy ammunition. (You heard me right.) The laws impose such draconian restrictions on the ownership of large capacity magazines that they have effectively banned them. You cannot buy new LCMs (over ten rounds capacity), and if you currently own them, you have to register them with the state police and can only have them loaded in your home or at a shooting range. And the new laws mean that being in possession of a non-registered LCM will actually result in stiffer penalties under CT law than being in possession of a Thermo-nuclear device. This despite the fact that the Newtown shooter dropped and swapped magazines so frequently that for all practical purposes he was employing non-LCMs.
And the CT law bans some 100 or more of what it calls Assault Weapons.
I celebrated news of the impending passage of this law by buying myself a brand new Tikka T3 Lite 7mm. Even before the new laws come into effect, buying this weapon has been an onerous process. The statement made by anti-Second Amnedment people that anyone can just walk into a gun shop and buy a weapon is absolutely false, at least here in CT.
BTW, this new law is being touted by both Democrats and Republicans here in CT. There is no opposition party anymore.
How would I have drafted a reasonable gun law? First, serious prison time for anyone who steals another person's gun, even if the gun owner is a relative. Second, how about tax credits for gun owners to purchase gun safes. Third, don't rush off imposing new state regulations before you see what the federal requirements are going to be. Fourth, if a person has a federal security clearance, (as I do), then that should be enough to satisfy any federal or state requirements for gun ownership.
Since I actually work in Northern Massachusetts, I am thinking about moving to Southern Vermont, where the laws are more reasonable.
So CT, here's the thing. I'm a successful, hard working, tax paying husband and father who really doesn't think your state is worth living in anymore. When people like me leave, who's going to be left?

Re: New Gun Laws in Connecticut
Let me first say that I am truly sorry for the tragedy that has taken place in your state such as the cowardly murders of innocent people & children . I don't think it is fair to you at all ! These new gun laws will no stop the killings . Do they think that the dope smokers and meth heads will seek out a permit to buy drugs ? Do they (Liberals) think that a Ban on drugs would work ? Why of course not the druggies will still get their drugs and so the deranged individuals will still get a gun ! It is Illegal to grow pot or smoke it in my state and people keep growing it and smoking it. Why can't Obama and his electors see this ???
I herd today that Stag Arms is moving to Texas . Because of this CT gun law restriction. I say good for any business that takes their money to another state . a friend of mine told me that he read it on NRA's website.
I hate that good people like you will have to pay for STUPID state decisions!!
But I say move out of CT .......
I like the point that you made . If they really wanted to do something that had a major part in the killings at CT then they would have made stiffer laws
concerning "stealing" but the real agenda here is to do away with guns......
Here is a good point to debate them with . If these new gun laws have been the result of several kids murdered and the Government really cared then the Government would stop the legal murder of babies known as Abortion !! I am in no way making light of what has happened in CT please don't misunderstand me, but they are millions of Innocent Babies killed (Murdered) every year in this country ,so if this was brought about because of the value of "life" then the Government would do something with ABORTION!!!!!

Re: New Gun Laws in Connecticut
jackdogstar---I see that this is your first post on LRH---Welcome!
I'm sorry for you and others that live in CT as well as CO as well as CA and so on and so on. It is a travesty on what is happening in this country and in my opinion, it is not going to get any better unless something drastic happens. In your post you say that you are for REASONABLE weapon restrictions. You already have them and there are laws all over this country against illegal firearm related crimes. More laws are not going to do ANYTHING to prevent a nutjob from doing what they want to do. All it will do is hurt people like you, me and the rest of hardworking, lawabiding, honest folks.
I spent 22 years with a very large sheriffs department on the west coast and I've seen it all. You know how many homicides that I have been to that involve an assault weapon? 0. Does that change anything that occurred in your state or any other mass murder? No. It does not change anything---children were murdered and it still makes me sick.
Yes, I know that it happens but it always will to some degree---there is evil in the world and the only way to combat that is fight bad with good. I have absolutely HAD it with politicians hurting the good people. You also say in your post that if you leave, who will be left? Well, who will be left are people that want to be lead and want to be in that kind of world. I, for one, don't. And that is one of the reasons I live in Idaho.
I also know that it is not easy to just to pack up and leave but that is a choice you will have to ponder.
Keep after your politicians--let them know how you feel and KEEP AFTER THEM.
Good luck.

Re: New Gun Laws in Connecticut
Here's the really insidious thing about these new laws. They make felonies of many innocuous activities related to guns. The Large Capacity Magazine provisions are a good example. Under the new law, you have to register LCMs with the state police. So let's say that somewhere in the pile of junk in your basement you happen to have a stray LCM. And let's say you don't even have what CT calls an assault weapon. You just have hunting rifles and this stray LCM. If you get caught with this, you can be convicted of a felony and lose ALL your "privileges" to own guns. (Yeah, I know. I thought it was a Right, too, protected by the Second Amendment.)
Everybody thinks they're gonna come, break down our doors, and do a mass confiscation of guns. But that's not how they do it these days. The way they do it is to make silly laws like possession of LCMs into a felony and then come and get gun owners one at a time.
I've been thinking about a legal response to these new laws, and I think what is needed is a federal initiative to pass federal legislation to pre-empt these state laws. Congress can do this via its Commerce Clause power. Federal pre-emption is an effective tool if done right. By way of explanation, the reason credit card companies can charge high interest rates despite state usury laws is that the Supreme Court found that federal law pre-empted state law. Trying to fight these state anti-gun laws on a state by state basis is simply too expensive and inefficient. And once you get a federal pre-emption statute in place, the rules of the Senate regarding 60 votes to break a filibuster make it really hard for anti-Second Amendment types to undo them.
I was at Cabellas yesterday, buying ammo before the restrictions take effect, (because FU, CT!). The lady at the counter made a good point. When I was a Boy Scout, getting to shoot .22 rifles was a big, exciting part of Boy Scout camp. Well, the Cabellas lady pointed out that with the new laws, they can't do that anymore. The laws effectively make it impossible for kids, like my eight year old son, to legally learn safe gun handling.

Re: New Gun Laws in Connecticut
I understand your frustration having had to move to Massachusetts due to my job. It's a terrible feeling living in a state that you absolutely hate and are helpless to effect the irrational behavior of idiotic politicians(there are a few exceptions but they can't be counted on one hand). Only aspect that is a bright light is GOAL, the Gun Owners Action League, that keeps some level of sanity alive and fights hard for our rights. The same issue that plagues our country, plagues states like Massachusetts. There are enough resident gun owners to crush the ambitions of these people that want our guns, but they are generally silent until it's too late or not at all. Less than 5% of the gun owners in this country belong to the NRA. Similar stats apply to GoAL in our state. Any chance of the Obama/local state agendas being crushed will be the effect of the NRA, and other gun Association's lobby power. If just 20% of 60+ million gun owners were members of the NRA we wouldn't be having this discussion. If the OP thinks he will be safe in Vermont, better think twice. This blue state actually has a Rep that is a publicly declared socialist with a very strong voice. They caved in on health care. It's only a matter of time before Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire follows suite under the current wave. I apologize for the rant and hate to sound so negative, but the only way for us to keep our rights is to get all of us active. IMO.

Re: New Gun Laws in Connecticut
I joined Gun Owners of America this morning. My understanding is that they are a little more proactive right now than the NRA. I did not think the NRA response to Newtown was effective. I think the NRA should have emphasized that the guns used in Newtown were stolen by the shooter from his mother, and the NRA should have emphasized laws to protect responsible gun owners from real criminals, such as stiffer penalties for anyone who steals someone else's gun. Just my two cents, for what it's worth.
And GreyFox makes a good point. It's absurd to assume that people can simply leave a state if they don't like the politics. That's why we have a U.S. Constitution-- to set a minimum standard of protection of Rights that should survive any economic or social needs. That may be why Federal pre-emption of anti-Second Amendment laws might be the best course of action. Fighting these battles state by state is just not working.

When creating templates for the Email channel, there are some challenges to overcome, particularly in creating Text versions, and managing content in Rich Text fields. This article and accompanying eXtension will explain these challenges and accelerate the process of developing your Outbound Email templates.
The basics of creating templates for Email (with text and html versions) are documented in the standard documentation:
However, this still leaves you with a few challenges, (particularly if you have RTF fields in your schemas):
1. How to display RTF field content (which will contain HTML markup) in a Text version
2. How to ensure images are published
3. How to ensure links and images in RTF content have absolute urls
4. How to ensure links in RTF content are tracked
The following sections will describe how to address these challenges, full source code and compiled TBBs and Function Source assemblies can be downloaded
Using the standard Outbound Email TBBs, and the ones found in the
on this site, create your page and components templates as follows:
Page Template
1. Outbound Email Prepare TBB (TBB from eXtension)
2. Outbound Email Preprocessing (standard SDL TBB)
3. HTML Layout DWT TBB
4. [optional] Replace Link Placeholders TBB (TBB from eXtension)
5. Email Link Resolver TBB(TBB from eXtension)
6. Text Layout DWT TBB
7. [optional] Replace Link Placeholders TBB (TBB from eXtension)
8. Email Link Resolver TBB(TBB from eXtension)
9. Outbound Email Postprocessing (standard SDL TBB)
10. Cleanup Template (standard SDL TBB)
Component Template
1. HTML Layout DWT TBB
2. Text Layout DWT TBB
3. Set Output Item By Email Mode TBB (standard SDL TBB)
In your Page Layout DWTs you need to specify the email mode before rendering component presentations. For example
<!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Components" -->
<!-- TemplateEndRepeat -->
<!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Components" -->@@SetEmailType('text')@@
This means that the same Component Template can output text, or html, depending on the mode set in the page layout which is rendering it.
This problem can be overcome with a custom function implemented as part of a Function Source class, which takes the finds the RTF field, and converts it to text using an XSLT.
Then you can call this in your DWT for Text versions like this:
An example function and XSLT can be found in the Function Source as part of the
If your RTF field is multivalue, or part of an embedded field, then you can just use the appropriate XPath equivalent (without namespace) to identify the appropriate field. For example:
The default finish actions TBB will normally ensure that images are published to the webserver, however, when rendering a mailing, the images are not actually published. Some images can be embedded in the email using the @@EmbedImage@@ function, however you probably do not want to embed all images in your mail, as this can make the size of the mail very large.
You will need to ensure that the images are published separately to the webserver. In the case of �design' images (like a company logo) these can be published as a one-off, and you can probably even hardcode the image url in your templates. In the case that you are reusing web content in your emails, the images will already be published as part of the web pages that use this content.
So you only need to worry if you have images that are specifically used for your mailings only. One option is to publish the mailing pages to a hidden folder on the website, which will ensure that the images are published out.
The default finish actions will resolve images to relative urls, however in a mailing, we need to have absolute urls. The website root for links and images should be pushed into the package for use in templates, and a post-processing TBB should be used to ensure that all image tags are prepended with this root url. This is performed by the Email Link Resolver TBB in the
Links can be tracked using the @@GetLinkTrackingURL@@ function in the DWT, however this cannot be applied to the content of RTF fields, which would be resolved to dynamic component links using the Default Finish Actions TBB. We need to run a TBB to process all links and ensure that they are tracked, and have a absolute url. This is combined with the previously mentioned processing of images in the Email Link Resolver TBB in the

THE CASTING AWAY OF MRS. LECKS AND MRS. ALESHINE & THE DUSANTES (edition 1933)
by Frank R. Stockton, George Richards (Illustrator)
Work details
The Casting Away of Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine by Frank R. Stockton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Thugh this was written in 1896, it might be described briefly as a comic parody of the Titanic disaster. Two very sensible middle-aged American widows on a Pacific cruise have their ship hit by another --the rest of the passengers and crew go off in lifeboats; the two women and one man set off in another boat and end up marooned on a very comfortable previously though not currently inhabited island, where tey are joined by others.
St. Barts 2013 #6 - A delightful little romp of unexpected pleasure! Not overly deep, but what fun. Also a pleasant surprise in that it was grabbed randomly for my island vacation and i had no idea that part of this tale takes place on a tropical island! Stockton is well-known for his story 'Lady or the Tiger' but i was totally unprepared for the 'laugh out loud' moments in this book. I know there are a few other Stockton books at home in the shelf that I will seek out soon. Highly recommended!!
This is the story of two widows who decide to visit the son of one of them in Japan. Their ship breaks up in a storm but they manage to make it to safety on a nearby island with the help of a young Mr Craig.
A very nice Victorian story with illustrations. Mrs. Lecks and Mrs. Aleshine are two middle-aged women who become castaways on British island and have adventures. The most amazing thing to me is that this story is still re-published today!
Very funny, late 19th century story with improbable plot.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0781289254, Hardcover)CiVSTJNG AWAY OF have been taken for farmers wives who, for some unusual reason, had determined to make a voyage across the Pacific; but, on closer observation, one would have been more apt to suppose that they belonged to the families of prosperous tradesmen in some little country town, where, besides the art of rural housewifery, there would be opportunities of becoming acquainted in some degree with the ways and manners of the outside world. They were not of that order of persons who geiierally take first-class passages on steamships, but the stateroom occupied by Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. A leshine was one of the best in the vessel; and although they kept very much to themselves, and showed no desire for the company or notice of the other passengers, they evidently considered themselves quite as good as any one else, and with as much right to voyage to any part of the world in any manner or style which pleased them. Mrs. Leeks was a rather tall woman, large-boned and muscular, and her well-browned countenance gave indications of that conviction of superiority which gradually grows up in the minds of those who for a long time have had absolute control of the destinies of a state, or the multifarious affairs of a country household. Mrs. A leshine was somewhat younger than her friend, somewhat shorter, and a great deal fatter. She had the same air of reliance upon her individual worth that characterized Mrs.

Jun 14-16, 2013
There's an old saying that you can't spend money you don't have. But over the past decade or so that hasn't stopped California governors and legislators, who often use budget gimmicks and fuzzy math to make the books look balanced. But a funny thing happened in Sacramento this week, when Governor Jerry Brown and Democrats in the Legislature agreed to a budget that spends less than the state might actually take in.
Host Scott Shafer talks to Sacramento bureau chief Scott Detrow to get his take on the new budget.

text: HypoglycemiaWhat is hypoglycemia?Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by low blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. Carbohydrates, such as rice, potatoes, bread, cereal, fruit and sweets, are the major source of glucose in our diet. The ideal range of fasting morning blood sugar is 70 to 99 mg/dL (milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood). Blood sugar levels under 70 mg/dL are too low and are considered unhealthy.Hypoglycemia may be a condition by itself, or may be a complication of diabetes or another disorder. It's most often seen as a complication of diabetes. This is sometimes referred to as insulin reaction. Hypoglycemia can happen quickly. In adults and children older than age 10, hypoglycemia is uncommon except as a potential side effect of diabetes treatment.What causes hypoglycemia?Causes of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes may include the following:Too much medicine, such as diabetes medicinesA missed mealA delayed mealToo little food eaten as compared to the amount of insulin or other medicine takenOther causes of hypoglycemia are rare, but may happen in early pregnancy, after strenuous exercise, or during prolonged fasting. Hypoglycemia may also result from abusing alcohol, or other rare causes, such as a tumor that makes insulin.What are the symptoms of hypoglycemia?The following are the most common symptoms of hypoglycemia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. The symptoms include:ShakinessDizzinessSweatingHunger and nauseaHeadacheIrritabilityPale skin colorSudden moodiness or behavior changes, such as crying for no apparent reasonClumsy or jerky movementsDifficulty paying attention, or confusionTingling sensations around the mouthRapid heartbeatBlurred or impaired visionHypoglycemia can also happen during sleep. Some signs of hypoglycemia during sleep include:Crying out or having nightmaresFinding your clothing or linens damp from perspirationFeeling tired, irritable, or confused after wakingSeizures or being difficult to arouse from sleep How is hypoglycemia diagnosed?In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, certain blood tests are used to diagnose hypoglycemia.If you have diabetes and symptoms of hypoglycemia, your healthcare provider will likely diagnose it as a complication of diabetes, or as an insulin reaction. If you don't have diabetes and have symptoms of hypoglycemia, your healthcare provider may:Measure blood glucose levels while you are experiencing the symptomsObserve that the symptoms are relieved when you eat foods with high sugar contentLab tests to measure insulin production may also be done.How is hypoglycemia treated?Specific treatment for hypoglycemia will be determined by your healthcare provider based on:Your age, overall health, and medical historyExtent of the conditionYour tolerance for specific medicines, procedures, or therapiesExpectations for the course of the conditionYour opinion or preferenceIf you have diabetes, the goal of treatment is to maintain an appropriate blood sugar level. This involves testing blood sugar often, learning to recognize the warning signs of low blood sugar, and treating the condition quickly, based on prior instructions from your healthcare provider.To treat low blood sugar immediately, you should eat or drink something that has concentrated sugar in it, such as orange juice, or a hard candy.If you do not have diabetes, your healthcare provider may advise:Avoiding foods high in carbohydratesEating smaller meals more oftenFrequent snacksEating a variety of healthy foodsRegular exerciseFurther evaluation for less common causes of hypoglycemia, such as tumors that make insulinIf left untreated, hypoglycemia can get worse and cause confusion, clumsiness, or fainting. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death.How can I prevent hypoglycemia?If you have diabetes, your treatment plan should match the dose and timing of medicine to your usual schedule of meals and activities. Mismatches can result in hypoglycemia. For example, taking a dose of insulin—or other medicine that increases insulin levels—and then skipping a meal could result in hypoglycemia.To help prevent hypoglycemia, people with diabetes should always consider the following:Diabetes medicines. Your healthcare provider can explain which diabetes medicines can cause hypoglycemia and explain how and when to take medicines. For good diabetes management, take your diabetes medicines in the recommended doses at the recommended times. In some cases, healthcare providers may suggest learning how to adjust medicines to match changes in your schedule or routine.Meal plans. A registered dietitian can suggest a meal plan that fits your personal preferences and lifestyle. Following this meal plan is important for managing diabetes. Eat regular meals, eat enough food at each meal, and try not to skip meals or snacks. Snacks are particularly important for some people before going to sleep or exercising. A dietitian can make recommendations for snacks.Daily activity. To help prevent hypoglycemia caused by physical activity, healthcare providers may advise that you:Check blood glucose before engaging in sports, exercise, or other physical activity and having a snack if the level is below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).Adjust medicine as needed before physical activity.Check blood glucose at regular intervals during and after extended periods of physical activity and having snacks as needed.Alcoholic beverages. Drinking alcohol, especially on an empty stomach, can cause hypoglycemia, even a day or two later. Heavy drinking can be especially dangerous if you take insulin or medicines that increase insulin production. Only consume alcoholic beverages with a snack or meal at the same time.Diabetes management. Intensive diabetes management — keeping blood glucose as close to the normal range as possible to prevent long-term complications — can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. If you wish to have tight control over your blood sugar, talk with your healthcare provider about ways to prevent hypoglycemia and how best to treat it if it happens.When should I call my healthcare provider?If you have a tendency to experience symptoms that resemble hypoglycemia, you may need to have your blood sugar tested by your healthcare provider.Key points about hypoglycemiaBlood sugar levels under 70 mg/dL are too low and reflect hypoglycemia.To treat low blood sugar immediately, eat or drink something that has sugar in it, such as orange juice or a hard candy.Tight blood sugar control can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. If you wish to have tight control over your blood sugar, talk with a healthcare provider about ways to prevent hypoglycemia and how best to treat it if it happens.Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

The District of Columbia, recognized as the hub of our nation both historically and certainly politically, is fascinating from many points of view. Consider the lay out of its capital city Washington, designed by a Frenchman, Pierre L'Enfant, and a self taught African-American mathematical genius Benjamin Banneker. L'Enfant designed Washington to celebrate the principles of freedom and growth which the nation had recently fought over, and the boundaries of the entire District of Columbia are based on the celestial calculations of Mr. Bannecker. Formed along the Potomac River, The District hosts the centers for all three branches of the U.S. government. The unique city of Washington has a resident population of just over 600,000; and grows to over one million during the work week. There are certainly many reasons to appreciate D.C., its history, origins, and political value being but just a few.

Greetings MathGroup:
My Internet provider Cybernetx is selling its accounts
to another provider Vnet. This means that at some point the
christensen.cybernetics.net addresses for me and for mathgroup
will change. The URL's for my web pages will change also.
I cannot say yet when this will happen. I will try to let the

2017 Summer Reading For Kids: Diverse Stories For Young People
Creative industries like film and television are represent different viewpoints and upbringings. Now, children's literature is getting into the game.
This week's special election for the District's At-Large Council seat could alter the trajectory of local public policy, from affordable housing to public education. WAMU 88.5 reporter Patrick Madden joins Kojo to examine the results of the race and what it means for local government in the nation's capital.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIFrom WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world. Later in the broadcast, a classic Hemingway tale as told by dance. The Washington Ballet's Septime Webre joins us to share the vision for his interpretation of "The Sun Also Rises."
MR. KOJO NNAMDIBut first, incumbent at-large Councilmember Anita Bonds successfully defended her seat yesterday, fending off five other candidates in a citywide special election. It was the District's seventh election in the past two and a half years, a contest necessitated by the former chairman of the Council pleading guilty to a federal crime and stepping down last year.
MR. KOJO NNAMDISeveral candidates claimed the mantle of reform and pledged to shake up the Wilson Building and root out corruption. But in a contest with extremely low turnout, D.C. voters ultimately sided with Bonds, the longtime Democratic activist with the closest ties to the city's political establishment. Joining us to explore yesterday's results and what they'll mean for the city's political dynamics is Patrick Madden, reporter with the WAMU 88.5. Patrick, good to see you again.
MR. PATRICK MADDENGood afternoon, Kojo.
NNAMDIA lot of talk about how this race had the potential to dramatically alter the trajectory of local government in D.C., but in the end, voters went with the candidate tied most closely to the Council and the city's traditional levers of power. You reported from Anita Bonds' victory party last night, which was attended by roughly half the Council and the mayor. What do you think tipped the race in her favor yesterday, and what's your immediate reaction to the result?
MADDENAs you mentioned before, clearly, Anita Bonds was the establishment candidate in this race. She's a longtime, you know, party insider, head of the local Democratic Party, and that's what helped her actually become appointed to this interim spot. And, you know, she was endorsed by, I think, most of the Council.
MADDENShe was endorsed by the mayor and many of the labor unions. So she really had a lot of support, a lot of ground game going into this race, and she did well in, you know, Wards 5, 7 and 8, whereas most of the other candidates sort of split the other wards. So it really -- I think that's what ultimately proved to be decisive.
NNAMDIIf you have questions or comments about yesterday's election in the District of Columbia, give us a call at 800-433-8850 or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com. You could send us a tweet, @kojoshow. Patrick, for a while last night, people were entertaining the possibility of this being the lowest turnout in local history in D.C. -- is eventually about -- what -- 9.9 voters showed up, less than 10 percent of the voting population. What do you think explains that?
MADDENI mean, to me, it's...
NNAMDIElection fatigue.
MADDENI mean that's -- as you mentioned, seven elections, you know, in -- in the what -- past two and a half years, sure, voter fatigue. But this is the District of Columbia. This is the nation's capital. This is one of the most educated cities in the world and clearly the most politically savvy, politically active cities in the U.S., if not the world. So to be honest, I don't know what gives. It -- to me, it's mind-boggling that only 10 percent...
NNAMDIIn other words, nothing explains it, you bad, bad, bad soldiers who...
MADDENYeah. Not -- where's the civic duty out there but especially -- I mean all the people involved in politics, whether you work on the Hill, I mean it's just amazing that only 10 percent of registered voters went out and cast a ballot.
NNAMDI800-433-8850. If you did not cast a ballot yesterday, you may want to share with us why or if you did and would like to make a comment on the result of the election or if you just want to join the conversation, the number is 800-433-8850. We're talking with Patrick Madden. He's a reporter with WAMU 88.5.
NNAMDIBonds took some heat a few weeks ago for comments she made right at this very table in a forum about the importance of black representation on the Council. With her victory, the Council maintains seven white members and six African-American members. How do you think the dynamics of race ultimately shaped yesterday's contest?
MADDENI mean it's a good question. If you look at the wards where she did well, predominately African-American wards, you know, Ward 7, 80 percent of the vote; Ward 8, 80 percent of the vote. So she clearly, you know, that she did well in the wards where -- that were predominately African-American. And I know that that had issue that was raised here, I think, it really was highlighted here during the debate we held. During the final weeks, I mean that was a big issue, and I think, you know, it's hard to tell what impact that had on voters. But you couldn't say that it wasn't out there.
NNAMDIWell, the impression I got was that while Anita Bonds took a lot of heat, especially in the media, for making remarks that she felt it was important that she was an African-American candidate in this race. Even as she said it, I got the impression that that, frankly, was a part of her campaign strategy that her advisers probably knew in advance that they'd probably take a lot of heat for it.
NNAMDIBut they said this is an important message that needs to be getting out. And it seems, to me, that quite a few people heard that message. I've seen quotes where people said, yes, that is one of the reasons they voted for Anita Bonds in this race. And so what's likely to continue in this city, not that it's ever abated is the ongoing conversation about the significance of race in electoral politics in Washington, D.C. 800-433-8850 is the number to call.
NNAMDILongtime followers of D.C. politics know Anita Bonds from her work for several former mayors. She's also been the chair of the D.C. Democratic state committee. You've reported pretty extensively on her and the people who supported her campaign financially. How does that inform us about the kind of councilmember that Anita Bonds is likely to be?
MADDENWell, again, she's -- I think, you know, as we've established, she is the establishment candidate. Obviously, she, you know, there are a lot of corporate contributions in her campaign finance records. She was a contractor with Fort Myer Construction. That's if not one of the -- if not the biggest city contractors.
MADDENThey do a lot of paving. Although I did believe I read today that Tim Craig is reporting that she will -- of The Washington Post -- that she will be leaving her job at Fort Myer. So unlike some of the other councilmembers who do have outside jobs, she will be a fulltime councilmember.
NNAMDIAnd she did indicate on this broadcast that she would leave her job.
MADDENMm hmm. And so, I mean, I think -- I don't want to say it's going to be -- I guess the way to put it is a lot of the other candidates were trying to make the issue of corporate contributions a big issue. And clearly, Bonds did not have a problem with that, did not have a problem with receiving those contributions and the role that that may or may not have on how the Council governs.
NNAMDII suspect that it will be -- we'll certainly see a lot more request for transparency. From those of us in the media, we will see a lot more scrutiny about how contracts are given out in the city. If the story last night was about Bonds winning, it was every bit as much about the apparent collapse, if you will, politically of the Patrick Mara, a Republican candidate who was endorsed by The Post, oh, maybe four times, supported by four times...
NNAMDI...supported by multiple...
MADDENEvery weekend, yeah.
NNAMDI...editorial page pieces throughout the contest. He finished third and pretty much underperformed throughout the city. What do you think explains his poor showing?
MADDENWell, I mean, first of all, it was never going to be easy for a Republican in D.C. I mean Democrats outnumber Republicans 11 to one. It's just -- it's a lot of headwinds that you're up against. And Mara really tried to position himself as sort of this new style of Republican, someone who's socially progressive but fiscally conservative.
MADDENAnd that was the message that they were trying to hit on. I mean, there were many articles, even national newspapers, reporting on Patrick Mara as this new urban Republican. But it looks like it didn't hold. I mean, it sounds like he got the Republican votes that he needed to get, but the Democrat supporters that he had in the past, they didn't show up for him this time.
MADDENAnd so, I mean, I'm sure there will be, you know, when they do a -- when the Mara campaign does a postmortem, they're going to try to figure out what happened, how did we lose independents or Democrats in this race because that -- I mean to be quite frankly, that's the only way you're going to win as a Republican. You need to expand your base, and also, this may have been the best shot, I think, for Republicans in a long time because this was an open seat, nonpartisan, low turnout, which in cases like this, would help a Republican candidate.
NNAMDIThis city showed a great deal of love for Carol Schwartz, a Republican, when she ran in citywide campaigns for the Council, not so much when she ran for mayor, even though she did get a lot of votes in those races. David Catania was elected as a Republican who decided to leave the party, but it seems as if the Patrick Mara effort to rebrand the Republican Party so far has met essentially with failure in the city.
MADDENYes. And there were some tough articles, you know, in the weeks leading up to the election that sort of raised questions about Mara, his ties to the national GOP, lobbying efforts. And so I think that damaged him leading up into this race to sort of I think he was trying really hard to say I am not the national GOP. I am completely separate, and I think those articles hurt.
NNAMDIWhat's next for Patrick Mara you think?
MADDENI spoke with him last night at the...
NNAMDIDid he have to give up his seat on the Board of Education to run for this?
NNAMDIHe maintains that position.
MADDENI'm pretty sure. I'm 99 percent sure. I spoke with him last night. He doesn't -- I'm not sure what his future plans are. I think he was still, you know, I think they're a little bit in shock last night -- the Mara campaign -- about how things went last night. I don't think they expected to come in third.
NNAMDIMeanwhile, former journalist Elissa Silverman ended up finishing second. She courted the so-called progressive vote heavily over which she competed with fellow Democrat Matthew Frumin. Late in the race, she apparently asked Frumin to step aside so a progressive candidate would have the best chance at winning the seat.
NNAMDIFrumin took home about 11 percent of the vote. Silverman ended up losing to Bonds by about, oh, three, maybe four percentage points. How would you explain Silverman's success after all she was a first-time candidate in this race, and do you think it's fair to say that Frumin ultimately played the role of spoiler in this race?
MADDENI mean it's -- if you look at the numbers and you try to do the math, sure. I mean if Frumin's votes had been -- if you gave Elissa half of those votes, she probably would have won. I think that Silverman clearly did really well in this race, surprisingly good. I mean she was the progressive candidate. She swore off, you know, corporate contributions. She had the good government policies, you know, fighting corruption.
MADDENAnd she did really well. I mean I think, you know, coming in at 28 percent, that's -- she did -- she won I believe two of the wards. She performed well in four of them. I mean this really sets her up I think for -- I mean people are going to be talking about her now when you look to the future, whether it's a citywide race or a Ward 6 race, where she currently lives.
MADDENSo I think this was a good showing for Elissa Silverman, and I think a good showing for, you know, those so-called progressives in this city who constantly seem to be finding themselves in situations where they sort of the next day after the race they realized, oh, yes, we have now split the vote again with our candidates.
NNAMDIThat means she was running against an incumbent who had the support of the Democratic Party establishment, an incumbent who herself in many ways personifies the Democratic Party establishment in the District of Columbia, and she still ran a pretty decent second. We've got an email from Jess in Columbia Heights who says, "While I'm disappointed by the voter turnout, I'm happy with the candidate turnout. Elissa Silverman and Matt Frumin are the kind of people who we want participating in the public forum here in D.C.
NNAMDI"They had good ideas. They ran good campaigns. D.C. will be a better place the more people we have like them who put their money where their mouths are and get in the ring and run. Let's have more of that." That's from Jess in Columbia Heights. What do you think we can expect from Elissa Silverman in the future? Do you think we'll see her running for office again? I'm saying yes.
MADDENI would say yes, too. I mean, she -- I think she did so well that it would be hard for her not to strongly consider running again. And again, this is the District where we seem to have elections -- gosh -- almost every...
NNAMDIThey're going to be running for this same seat again in...
NNAMDI...about a year and a half.
MADDENExactly. And it just -- it's, you know, we seem to have a lot of elections here. So...
NNAMDIFrumin said he's not interested in challenging Ward 3 Councilmember Mary Cheh. Are we likely to see him as a candidate again?
MADDENWell, on that issue, I would -- let's wait and see on that because I think, you know, Frumin did really well in Ward 3. I think he received 27 percent of the vote. I mean, that's really strong. And I think it's -- when that seat is up again against incumbent Mary Cheh, I think -- Frumin says right now he's not running, but I think we have to wait and see because I think there'll be a lot of pressure on him to challenge the incumbent.
NNAMDISpeaking of Ward 3, Vera in Washington, D.C. wants to know something about Ward 3. Vera, you're on the air. Go ahead, please.
VERAHi, Kojo. I am curious as to how Anita Bonds did in Ward 3. If we are any indication, my husband and I, independently at the very last minute, decided to support her. And there were several reasons. One, we just -- it seemed to me that the other candidates, Frumin and Silverman, they couldn't get their act together, and she was asking him to get out of the race. Then there was a lot of innuendo.
VERAWe got messages on the phone saying, you know, don't vote for a Republican, but not saying who to vote for, not even mentioning Anita Bonds. And then, I mean, I was amazed that The Post actually got itself to write two very, very troubling little pieces about Patrick Mara, connecting him with a right-wing group and implying that he was employed by this group.
NNAMDIWell, I don't represent The Post, but I know The Post would say they'd like to make a distinction between what's reported on their news pages and what's reported -- on what is opined, if you will, on its editorial pages that there is a firewall between the two. But here's Patrick Madden.
MADDENRight. So I have the numbers in front of me. So Bonds in Ward 3 received 5 percent of the vote, and that was easily her worst performance for any of wards. So she did not do well in that ward. And just to follow up on what Kojo was saying, yes, you know, The Post had some, you know, some strong articles looking into Patrick Mara. But at the same time, you know, the editorial board, I think, you know, had four -- count them -- four editorials endorsing Mara and trying to get the word out for him.
NNAMDIWhich led a lot of people to believe that he would be the frontrunner, not so much, on the budget referendum that was voted yesterday. It seems that, well, just about everybody voted in favor of budget autonomy for the District of Columbia.
MADDENRight. Eighty-three percent, that -- so clearly, most people supported the budget referendum. It's amazing to me that people did not support the budget referendum 'cause if you look at it, it's basically saying let the District have more control over how it spends its tax dollars. Who can be, you know, who would oppose that?
MADDENBut clearly, there was a small, you know, a small number of voters that did oppose it. And this is interesting, Kojo, because it's still unclear how this is actually going to work, what's going to happen. Congress has a chance, you know, 35 days to do a disapproval. Again, people do not think that is going to happen because the Democrats control the Senate.
MADDENPresident Barack Obama, you know, would have to sign off on this disapproval. But Darrell Issa, the Republican from California, who oversees the District, he is not a fan of this. He has said that he thinks -- but he has been a fan of the District and giving it more autonomy over its budget. So let's see how this plays out. This may have some repercussions.
NNAMDIAnd we get the final comment from Chris in Washington, D.C. Chris, you're on the air. Go ahead, please.
CHRISHi, Kojo. Thanks for taking my call. With regard to -- there were a few quick comments I wanted to make with regard to Patrick Mara. He seemed to be putting out a lot of comments leading up the election that he thought that he had it in the bag. There was an article in The City Paper in which referred to his polling that he said that he thought everything was, you know, coming up roses for him.
CHRISAnd I can't help but wonder if that didn't hurt him. You know, the -- you want to get people motivated to go out and vote and if people think that you've got it in the bag, particularly on a low-turnout election, I wonder if people don't think, well, there's no point in me going to vote.
NNAMDIHere's Patrick Madden.
MADDENI think that is -- it's a very astute point because if you look at some of the precincts where Mara did really well, in Ward 3 in 2011 when he ran, he -- in some of those, he didn't hit those numbers. And these are precincts where Mara should have done really well. So perhaps that is a reason why voters who normally would be supporting Mara stayed home.
NNAMDIAnd that's about all the time we have. Patrick Madden is a reporter at WAMU 88.5. Patrick, always a pleasure.
MADDENThank you, Kojo.

The markets are rattled. Investors are nervous. Uncertainty pervades. To find comfort and answers, there are two ways to go: the poetry of the ancients or Matthew's Gospel.
A common thread among people who don't believe in God (or are just unsure) is that fear of death spawned belief in a higher power that would deliver us an afterlife. But I don't think death is the thing here -- it seems to me that we really fear randomness. If we all knew that we would live to a fine old age and die peacefully in our sleep, death would have no sting. But, in fact, children die, and young parents, and good people who have done no harm. Even more lose limbs, suffer mental incapacity, and face countless challenges that appear frighteningly random. Coping, it seems, is a central force in life.
In The New Yorker, writer Stephen Greenblatt looks at death and uncertainty through the eyes of the ancient Roman poet Lucretius. His 2000-year-old essay-in-verse, called "On The Nature of Things," helped spark the shift in Renaissance thinking when it was re-discovered in an Italian monastery library in 1417.
Lucretius was an advocate of randomness; life, he said, had no meaning or plan, so worrying about it was simply ludicrous. His advice: embrace the day, because that is all we have; every moment spent focused on anxiety about a future over which we have no control is a moment we can never get back. Lucretius was no atheist; he just believed that the gods of ancient Rome and Greece were too high and mighty to much care about the daily goings-on of humans scurrying about on the crust of the Earth. But, as Greenblatt writes, that outlook was taken up by later philosophers who used it to challenge the existence of Heaven, Hell and God.
Greenblatt poignantly places his mother as a central character in his fascination with Lucretius. When he was a boy, she was obsessed with death, convinced she would die early and leave her children unprotected. She fretted, brooded, and plotted endlessly about it -- and this had a heavy effect on her son. She actually lived, Greenblatt says, well into her 90s -- so Lucretius' view that worry was a waste of time made instant sense to a boy raised in such an atmosphere.
But Greenblatt seems to make a choice that is no choice at all: randomness versus the existence of God. In Matthew 5:45, Jesus tips his hat to this reality as well, noting that his Father lets the sun shine on both the evil and the good, lets the rain fall on the just and unjust. To us humans, it can all seem mind-boggling in its inconsistency -- but not because God is uncaring, and not because he has no plan. It's just that we don't have the capacity to understand the plan in all its dimensions.
The world seems utterly random -- but it isn't, really.
Science (often pitted as the enemy of faith) has shown us this. Time and again over the centuries, research has discovered that events in nature which at one time appeared random actually are subject to "laws." Laws of physics, gravity, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine. There is a plan, science says, one that we slowly uncover as we expand our understanding of the world around us.
Randomness still exists, of course, and it is frightening to behold. In the face of it, normally bright and bold investors run like scared herds of sheep away from stocks and bonds, and toward the "safety" of astronomically-priced gold. And, of course, bad things still happen to very good people for no reason at all.
Lucretius would advise us to shrug it off and move on; but something about the human soul senses that, deep underneath it all, in dimensions we have yet to reach, there is a plan. We may never understand it -- the sun and rain will continue to nourish the worthy and unworthy alike -- but it is there.

Karndean Brand vinyl tile is it good stuff
I am looking at Karndean Brand vinyl tile for a laundry room remodel. I am told it is long lasting, somewhat resistant to water and will help keep the noise down better than ceramic. This sounds to good to be true. I looked at the Nafco web site below and can not find installation instructions. It just says it is not a DIY product.
My two questions are as follows. How do you install it and will it perform well in a laundry/mud room.
I am pretty advanced for a DIYer so I am not afraid to tackle something new but some experienced instruction would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance - Rege
I wouldn't say it's better than ceramic but it is a very good product. Walmarts all over the country have Karndean vinyl strip in them. It's more durable than a lot of solid vinyl tile because it's all PVC. Scratches can be buffed out if you ever get any. Competitive products usually have a urethane wear layer, which is more environmentally friendly but when you manage to scratch it, it's there to stay.
Installation is fairly easy. You make sure your floor is smooth, spread the correct adhesive and lay the tile in wet. Roll it down and wait for it to set up.

Brett Favre said that he's healthy enough to play on Wednesday and that he believes the 2-5 Minnesota Vikings can still rebound for a playoff run this season.
Three days after taking a shot to the jaw and being removed from a loss at New England on a cart, Favre said he's feeling relatively well amid his myriad injuries. His main concern, he said, was rallying his teammates for a late-season surge.
"This could be a very storybook ending," Favre said, "or it could be a year to forget.
"It could easily turn around."
BRAD CHILDRESS: Bad decision for Vikings to have acquired Randy Moss
MOSS' LOCKER ROOM TIRADE: Favre says he was there and didn't approve
The Vikings welcome Arizona to Minnesota this week. They are 2.5 games behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. And having lost WR Randy Moss, whom the team waived on Tuesday, Favre acknowledged the challenges will keep coming.
Wednesday's news conferences for Favre and coach Brad Childress were broadcast live nationally by ESPN for the second straight week. But this week, the focus was on Moss' departure where last week it was on the question of whether Favre would be able to make his 292nd straight start with two fractures in his left foot.
A 20-year veteran and three-time MVP, Favre joked that he had never been on a team with as much drama as this year's Vikings.
"I don't know if any other teams has had an many live press conferences as we've had," he said.
His injury status will linger, Favre, 41, acknowledged. But, one week after backup Tarvaris Jackson was seen as a contender to start, he doesn't anticipate missing time.
Favre, who is also dealing with tendinitis in his throwing shoulder, said when people ask him how he feels, he responds,"You know what, I probably should feel a lot worse.' "
The tendinitis and the foot hurt at times, he said, including keeping him up at night.
"But during (Sunday's) game I moved around fine, actually way better than I thought."
And the hit that to his chin that drove him from the game?
"That made me forget about the foot," Favre joked.
Favre did not criticize the team's decision to cut Moss and said he had no input. He added that Childress didn't explain his reasoning to the team.
"As players, I know fans as well, you don't always agree with decisions," Favre said. As players, we're no different. Right or wrong, the coach or organization has to make decisions.
"You do it as we all assume for the best interests of the team. I think that was done here."

Flanagan Family
Thank you for taking and posting the photos of my GG grandparents' headstones (Catholic Cemetery, Central City, CO).
John Flanagan b. 1830 - Ireland
Sarah Ellen McConnell Flanagan b. 1841 d. 1905 in Butte, Montana (body returned to Colorado to be buried with her husband)
Daughter Mary B. Flanagan b. 1870
I wondered if their headstones were near each other in the cemetery?
They were a mining family, son Frank and daughter Katherine (m. John C. Driscoll) brought their mother with them to the silver and copper mines of Butte in late 1880's.

Patrick McKibbin
I found your Find A Grave info on Patrick McKibbin, his wife Margaret and their children at the Central City Cemetery. I just found out this past week that I have a family relationship to them. They are related to an uncle of mine here in Colorado. His mother was a McKibbin. She was the daughter of another Margaret, Patrick's wife Margaret.
There is one brother of LaVerne that is still alive. His name is Harry Werkmeister. He is 98 years old. Family legend has it that Patrick was born in Ireland around 1832. His parents were very poor and they turned him out the house at the age of 8. He got on a ship as a cabin boy. He would be a sailor for many years. He met up with a couple of fur traders at a Canadian port. They told him about Colorado. He set out to Colorado and became a fur trader. He would travel back and forth to Kansas City to sell his pelts. He met Horace and Augusta Tabor and escorted them back to Colorado. They shared a double cabin at 16th and Curtis in Downtown Denver. Horace and Augusta went to Leadville and became millionaires. Patrick went to Nevadaville near Central City. Margaret was a French lady of means and took a liking to Patrick with his red hair. They married and as you know are now buried at the Central City Cemetery.
I am meeting with Harry Werkmeister later this coming week. I hope to learn a lot more from him.

RE: Lewis Graves
Tammy, I don't think all of the children had the middle initial "L." I think the "L" is meant to stand for the last name Lewis on each of their headstones. - William

RE: Lewis Gravestones
Tammy - Thank you very much for also including the headstones for each of the Lewis children. Death of children was so much more common then, especially in these mining camps in the winter in the age before good medicines! I'm not sure when and where Michael's wife Mary A Lewis died. I cannot find her after the 1920 census, when she was still in Central City. That she does not have a headstone there may indicate that she moved and did not die in Central City. So that is a clue for me to keep looking elsewhere. Thanks again for all of your help! - William

RE: Photo Posts
Do you have any photos for Collins. I'm looking for several members of this familiy that lived in Central City, Colorado. I believe they may be buried in Catholic Cemetery as they were all Irish Catholics.

Hi Tammy,
Find A Grave sent me a copy of the message I sent you earlier in the week. I didn't realize I was logged on to Find A Grave at the time I wrote. If you would like to transfer the Gundy family over to me that would be fine.
