Looking back, life on a farm during depression days was like living on an island today, with no close neighbors and town five miles away. The only social times were Friday nights when everyone went to town to buy groceries, or Sundays with church. The rest of the time was spent tending crops, chickens, hogs, cows, horses and housekeeping.
We weren't bombarded with commercials; radio was used sparingly to get the farm market reports and to listen to the Cadle Tabernacle from Indianapolis.
Nothing was wasted. The dishes were washed in a dishpan in the sink, then the scant bit of water was dumped in a galvanized bucket on the floor along with potato peelings, scraps from the table, egg shells and soured milk. This bucket was emptied daily into a trough for the pigs. Everything raised had a use. What was not put on the table was canned and put in the basement for winter.
In the fall, when cooler weather came, a hog or two was butchered. The hams and shoulders were smoked and sacked so that the flies would not get to them. Sausage was hung and then fried down. After it was put in jars, a small amount of grease was added, then the jars were sealed and turned over. Usually, a beef was butchered also.
Dad had an eighth grade education but had an inquiring mind and was a hard worker. In the house built by my dad and brother-in-law in 1929-30 was a Delco light plant. Rural electrification came through later. "The house was built when times were hard" they'd say. A hand-dug ditch to which a galvanized pipe was laid below the freeze line from the house to a hill almost a quarter of a mile away led to a man-made reservoir. This supplied water to the upstairs bathroom without a pump.
In the summer, a kerosene heater was installed to heat the water in the tall water tank. In the winter, the heater was replaced with galvanized pipe going through the bathroom floor to the Heatrola stove in the living room and back up to the water tank. What an ingenious idea!
Lye soap was made from leftover grease and lye. Some was shaved up and put in a copper wash boiler containing hot water and white clothes. A wooden stick was used to stir the clothes. The bleached clothes were then rinsed and hung on the clothes line. The clothes line was wound around a pulley at the top of a pole and then around a pulley on the back porch. The clothes were pinned on the bottom line and rolled out over the barnyard.
Only in extreme circumstances did I get a pair of shoes. We went barefoot in the summer. When there was a hole in the bottom of the leather sole, I found a piece of cardboard to put in the shoe. When that wore through, I found another piece of cardboard. From jumping rope at school, the sole came loose from the front of one pair. At every step the sole would fold back under so I learned to step out and then down fast hoping to swing it to the toe of the shoe. Dad saw it and fixed it! "Go get me the hog ringers!" So I went to school the next day with three hog rings in the toe of my shoe!

Washington (AFP) Nov 6, 2007
For the first time in his seven-year presidency, the US House of Representatives voted Thursday to override a veto by President George W. Bush.
In an effort to force through the 23 billion dollar "Water Resources Development Act" to fund numerous water projects, the Democrat-controlled House voted 361-54 -- more than the two-thirds required -- to override Bush's veto last week of the bill.
Bush had condemned the bill, backed by both Democrats and members of Bush's Republican party, as being too lavish and packed with plumb projects for members' districts.
If the more closely-divided Senate can also muster a two-thirds vote to override, it will be the president's first open defeat in Congress since he became president in 2001.
Bush has made use of his veto power on legislation five times so far during his two-term presidency.

Climate Change Could Diminish Drinking Water More Than Expected
Columbus OH (SPX) Nov 07, 2007
As sea levels rise, coastal communities could lose up to 50 percent more of their fresh water supplies than previously thought, according to a new study from Ohio State University. Hydrologists here have simulated how saltwater will intrude into fresh water aquifers, given the sea level rise predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC has concluded that within the next 100 years, sea level could rise as much as 23 inches, flooding coasts worldwide.

Under 10% of pregnant women with HIV in developing countries received antiretroviral drugs between 2003 and 2005, a report by the WHO said.
It also revealed a total of 1.3 million now get the drugs, short of the target of 3 million set by the WHO and UNAids.
The new goal is for universal access to treatment by 2010.
The report, released with UNAids, said that although the 'Three by Five' target had not been met, important lessons had been learnt.
And it said 18 countries had met the target to provide treatment to at least half of those in need.
'Weak systems'
The report found access has improved across the world since the WHO and UNAids launched their initiative in December 2003 to get three million people onto antiretroviral therapies by 2005.
About 50,000 people started taking the treatment each month in the past year, the report said, estimating that 250,000 to 350,000 premature deaths have been averted in developing countries as a result of expanded treatment access.
The amount spent on HIV/Aids across the world rose from $4.7 billion in 2003 to $8.3 billion in 2005, with much of the funding coming from the US President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief, the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria, and the World Bank.
During the same period, the price of first-line treatment decreased by between 37 % and 53%, depending on the drug regimen used, the report said.
The report said the failure to make better progress towards the Three by Five target was due to ineffective partnerships among aid providers, inadequate supplies of drugs and weak health systems, the report said.
It also said 660,000 children under the age of 15 were in immediate need of antiretroviral therapy in 2005.
Most live in sub-Saharan Africa, the region hardest hit by HIV and Aids. Only 17% of patients there had access to the life-saving drugs last year.
Funding gap
The Group of Eight rich nations pledged in July 2005 to work with WHO and UNAids to move as close as possible to universal treatment access by 2010.
The report said that goal ought to be attainable, but warned substantially more funds would be needed to achieve it.
UNAids said there was an $18 billion gap for the 2005 - 2007 period between available and needed resources.
By 2008, it said at least $22 billion per year will be needed to fund national HIV prevention, treatment and care programmes.
Peter Piot, executive director of UNAids, added: "Misinformation about the disease and stigma against living with HIV still hamper prevention, care and treatment efforts everywhere.
"If we are to get ahead of the Aids epidemic, we must tackle stigma, ensure that the available funds are spent effectively to scale up HIV prevention, care and treatment programmes and mobilise more resources.
But the organisation Medicin sans Frontieres warned that without a concerted effort by the UN and the international community to make sure there is a steady supply of low-cost AIDS drugs, attaining the goal of universal access would remain impossible.

February 16 - Zynga, the giant social networking gaming experts, are making
no secret of their main objective - to move into the online gambling sphere as
soon as significant changes in the US gambling legal landscape take place.
Chief Operations Officer for Zynga, John Schappert, when asked to comment on
the group's first quarterly earnings as a public company, told analysts that
online gambling was "very interesting" to the group.
"I think it's actually a very interesting opportunity because we're in a
unique position," he said. "We have the world's largest online poker game and
the most social online poker game we've been running for four years. We had
record results last quarter. And it's one of the top six games on Facebook. So I
think we're in a good position and it's a category that's interesting to us."
Zynga has said in the past that it was seeking partners for online gambling
ventures. The group recently announced plans to create a series of casino
Legal issues still need to be hammered out before Zynga moves to online
gambling services, however the industry has been given a shot of optimism
with a recent Justice Department opinion that could open the way for internet
gambling in a number of US states, and could even bring changes on a federal
level eventually.
When Schappert says that Zynga was in a "good position" to enter the online
gambling world, analysts believe that this is an understatement. The group has
a mobile user base of 15 million daily active users - a number which has grown
five times over in a space of only year.
Zynga has also followed a policy of localization, with its games now
available in 17 languages (up from five last year), and international revenue
doubling year on year.
Zynga recently announced the launch of a new destination website, Project Z,
which is now in beta format and will eventually be launched live.
"Project Z is a destination site for social gaming, we're trying to create a
place for people to enjoy social games, to play together and always have and
endless supply of friends," said Schappert.
It's now in an internal closed beta. We don't have a release date yet."

Let's face it. Your body hates extra muscle. While muscle is required for function, mobility, strength, and protection, it takes an awful amount of time and energy to build and maintain real muscle mass. In order to boost muscle mass, the body requires more protein and sleep and it has to strengthen the joints, ligaments and tendons, it also takes 100 calories each day to maintain one pound of muscle.Compare that to the body's favorite tissue: fat, the most dense source of stored energy and a reserve fuel tank for the body in time of crisis. The body loves fat; it's easy to store, easy to maintain, and one pound of fat is 3500 extra calories for a rainy day.Your body's main goal is to maintain homeostasis (stability) throughout the day. When the body is stressed or influenced by external stimuli, it immediately releases hormones to counter the stressor or stimuli and bounce back to its optimal state of stability. But it's impossible to pack on muscle without swaying the balance away from the norm and into the Anabolic zone.In order to keep growing in size and strength, its imperative that you maintain the Anabolic zone, but all it takes is a bad day in the gym or a hiccup in your diet to swing your body out of the Anabolic zone and into catabolism, the state in which your body will actually break-down and consume your valued muscle tissue for energy.Illegal steroids are so successful thanks to their ability to lock you into the Anabolic zone, leaving you with clothes-tearing gains and a massive surge in strength. But for those who don't want to risk the side effects and legal concerns of steroids, what does it take to lock into the Anabolic zone? INGREDIENT SCIENCE:Cordyceps Sinensis 8% Cordycepic Acid 0.4% AdenosineCordyceps Sinesis is a natural mushroom extract that has been utilized as a natural tonic in China for thousands of years. In addition to its potent antioxidant attributes, research has shown Cordyceps to be beneficial for the vascular system and it demonstrates vasodilating effects. Through antioxidant properties and the ability to increase the ratio of T-cells within the body, Cordyceps are a very effective immune system booster.Cordyceps also help to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a high-energy molecule that is the natural energy-bank of our life. ATP acts almost like a battery as it is able to be stored until it is needed. ATP is also vital in promoting refreshing sleep. Caffeine and other stimulants have the ability to neutralize ATP's ability to be utilized in the body, leaving you with poor sleep quality and a lack of energy without the constant use of stimulants.Several studies with mice have shown that when Cordyceps are ingested in an extremely low oxygen environment, they were able to utilize oxygen more efficiently and live 2-3 times longer than a control group.Resveratrol yielding 98% Trans ResveratrolReservatrol is a compound that is largely found in the skins of red grapes and has been touted as the explanation for the "French Paradox" – the low incidence of heart disease among the French despite the consumption of a high-fat diet. Resveratrol has exceptional antioxidant properties to ward off free-radicals and other cellular scavengers that cause damage and early-aging.Resveratrol has potent anti-aromatase proper:" ": the last thing that a body-builder needs when trying to remain in an anabolic state. While preventing the aromatase of testosterone to estrogen, Resveratrol will also help to naturally increase your testosterone levels without the damaging shut-down associated with pro-hormones and steroids. Rhodiola Rosea. Ext 4% Rosavins:Rhodiola Rosea is a known adaptogen, which means that it has the ability to increase resistance to a variety of chemical, biological, and physical stressors. Adaptogens are extremely effective for bodybuilders thanks to their ability to act as a stimulant in times of stress while not disturbing bodily function at a normal level. This means that Rhodiola Rosea will aid in energy, endurance, and strength when needed, but it will remain inactive without demand. While caffeine and other stimulants can cause anxiety and a jittery feeling when taken in large doses at rest, Rhodiola Rosea will only react proportionally to the body's demand for energy.Studies have shown that Rhodiola Rosea has significant improvements for individuals under stress, but the greatest benefits are in regards to improvements in physical fitness, mental fatigue, and neuromotor functions. Rhodiola rosea's effects on nervous system function are mainly attributed to its ability to optimize serotonin and dopamine levels and release of opioid endorphins. Since Rhodiola Rosea stimulating properties do not up-regulate A1/A2 receptors, it will not lead to Adrenal Fatigue or other burn-out symptoms as would caffeine and similar stimulants. In fact, Rhodiola Rosea is part of recommended treatment for persons dealing with Adrenal Fatigue and other fatigue syndromes.Further research shows that Rhodiola can improve endurance exercise while also producing mild antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects. Rhodiola Rosea also boasts claims of increased immune function, improved health, and has been shown to increase life span in some animal tests. Due to its ability to greatly reduce oxidative stress, Rhodiola Rosea compliments any workout by reducing the oxidative stress and free-radical build-up after a heavy workout. SulbutiamineSulbutiamine is a precursor to thiamine, a vital B-Vitamin that is essential for neural function and carbohydrate metabolism. In the medical field, Sulbutiamine is often used to treat persons suffering from symptoms of physical weakness and loss of strength.As a nootropic, Sulbutiamine helps aid cognitive function by boosting brain performance, concentration, and alertness.Sulbutiamine is able to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively than B1 because of its lipophilic properties (ability to dissolve in fats).This allows a more effective response and Sulbutiamine's ability to have a greater effect in cognitive performance and reducing fatigue in comparison to B1. Much of Sulbutiamine's energetic effects are due to its ability to increase Thiamine triphosphate, resulting in a greater instance of cell energy metabolism.Agaricus Bisporus ExtractAgaricus Bisporus is a mushroom extract that has been shown to inhibit aromatase and therefore, reduce testosterone conversion to estrogen. ProcyanadinProcyanadin is a polyphenol, powerful antioxidant, that is plentiful in grape seeds. These molecules increase fatty acid breakdown and influence glucose use in fat cells. In addition, polphenols influence SIRT1, which are able to signal certain proteins in response to energy demand and use.Procyandin plays a major role in promoting heart health and it's also a potent antioxidant. While some researchers believe Procyandin's benefits trum:" ":ct that its highly bioavailable, allowing easy absorption and the ability for your body to utilize the majority of the ingredient. Procyadin has also been shown to be a potent anti-aromatase constituent, preventing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen while promoting an anabolic environment.Procyanadin can also play a role in the down-regulation of glucocorticoid receptors, reducing Cortisol. Since Cortisol is one of the most catabolic hormones in the human body and it disables the effects of insulin, this reduction allows more effective use of insulin, the most anabolic hormone.Procyanadin is essential in creating an Anabolic state for its ability to neutralize free-radicals, decrease glucocorticoid activity, and contribute to an overall increase in heart-health and general health.Ophiopogon RootOphiopogon root is a Chinese herb that has long been used for its medicinal properties. For centuries, this natural plant has been used to relieve annoyance, irritation, or insomnia; increase oxygen utilization and heart efficiency, and aids with overall health of the stomach and intestines. Pharmacological findings show that Ophiopogon Root actually helps promote healthy blood sugar, increase oxygen usage in low atmospheric conditions, inhibit growth by antimicrobial actions, and increases immunology by increasing the immune system.Due to increased oxygen utilization and aid in clearing the lungs from mucus and enabling higher oxygen saturation, Ophiopogon Root can help increase physical output through greater oxygen saturation. This will help increase physical output, decrease fatigue, and promote greater physical endurance. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ. What is Anabolic Edge?Anabolic Edge is the world's first athletic performance enhancing product designed to promote extreme muscle growth while greatly enhancing your body's muscle endurance. Anabolic Edge can be used alone for extreme muscle building effects or used as part of your post pro-testosterone cycle support. Users of Anabolic Edge can expect to experience impressive gains in overall athletic endurance and anabolic activity resulting in dense, lean muscle growth.Q. What Does Anabolic Edge do? Designed to rapidly increase ATP and Oxygen utilization Increases Aerobic & Anaerobic Endurance Enhances your body's ability for Aerobic & Anaerobic Recovery Modulates estrogenic receptors while controlling Aromatase Boosts Natural Testosterone LevelsQ. What sets Anabolic Edge apart from all the other natural anabolics?Anabolic Edge works with your body to create the ultimate environment for maximum anabolic activity, enhanced energy and performance (without the use of stimulants), and increased oxygen utilization to help fuel your muscle and growth. Anabolic Edge's anti-aromatase properties help to ensure that your testosterone production is utilized to the fullest extent without losing excess testosterone to estrogen conversion. The only way to pack on lean, dense muscle is to alter your body's state of homeostasis towards a constant state of anabolism, thus allowing your muscles to consistently grow in size and strength rather than being broken down as a source of energy for the body.Q. How do I take Anabolic Edge?For males under 200lbs:For best results, take 2 tablets, 2 times per day. For best results, maintain use of Anabolic Edge for 4 to 8 weeks.For males over 200lbs:For best results, take 3 tablets, 2 times per day. For best results, mainta

Our Ethiopia Adoption Program
Children's House has been directly licensed by the Ministry of Justice of the Government of Ethiopia to conduct international adoptions as well as support our humanitarian aid projects since 2006.
Humanitarian Efforts in Ethiopia
These children and families do not have access to even the basic necessities like clean drinking water, food and clothing. Children's House International is committed to sponsoring orphanages and their various local and regional projects. These projects help to provide basic necessities like clean drinking water, food and clothing. We are working hard to change the cycle of extreme poverty.
The funds to support these programs come from generous donations, fundraisers, and adoption fees.
Adoption Forms and Fees
For more information including our application, agency retainer agreement and financial agreements and statistical information on the number of adoption placements per year for the prior 3 calendar years, the number of placements that remain intact, the number of families who apply to adopt each year, and the number of waiting children eligible for adoption, click here.
You can find guidance for prospective adoptive parents on the Ethiopia adoptions page of USCIS.gov HERE.
Please review the other alerts and notices posted by the U.S. Department of State HERE.
For more information email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Ethiopia's Adoption Process
Children's House refers a child to you. The referral information will include photos, developmental and medical information, test results (HIV, Hepatitis B and other blood test results), along with social background that explains why the child is being placed for adoption. Families may have the information reviewed by their pediatrician and international adoption health specialist. Our families usually must wait approximately 9 – 12 months for a referral. The wait time for older children, children with special needs and sibling groups (when available) can be significantly less.
Ethiopia's Ministry of Women's Affairs (MoWA) approves the adoption and sends an official approval letter to the Court.
Court Appearance
Ethiopia requires that all adoptive families appear in court. After the court process is completed, families return to the U.S. Our Ethiopian staff obtains your child's birth certificate and Ethiopian passport, submits all documents to the Embassy and brings your child to the required Embassy medical exam. It will be approximately 4 – 6 weeks before you return to Ethiopia for your Embassy Appointment to bring your child home. There is also the option of staying in country between the court appearance and the Embassy appointment. With this option, families receive custody of their child within a few days after court.
For more information email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Children Available
All ages of children are available, however Children's House International requires that all families applying for this program be open to adopt a child up to the age of 5 years. Parents will receive a complete child study which includes all medical information, legal documentation and proof of orphan status, and photos. We are able to send our adoptive families photos and updates of their children during the adoption process. We travel to Ethiopia often to oversee the adoption and humanitarian aid programs.
"(CHI) It's who our daughter was with as well…And then 3 more daughters and a son. We have adopted 8 kiddos, 5 through CHI. We LOVE CHI. Far and above the best agency out there." – Crooks Family
Adoptive Parent Requirements
While your adoption journey may begin today, adoptive parents should understand that adoption is a lifelong commitment. A successful home study plays a vital role in helping on your preparation to become adoptive parents. Our trained and caring professionals respect your confidentiality as we work together to educate and create an accurate portrait of you as future adoptive parents. The home study is the first step toward parenthood.
Approved Home Study
An approved home study, preferably completed by a COA Hague accredited social worker, will ensure that all of the Ethiopian requirements for families are met during the home study process. The home study begins with adoptive parent education and a thorough evaluation of your family that will include several background clearances, medical evaluations and financial stability. Your home study is the foundation on which USCIS and in country approvals for international adoption are based. They enable adoptive parents to learn, reflect, and prepare for parenting. It involves opening your hearts, minds, and home to a social worker through a series of meetings and gives you the opportunity to ask all the questions you may have as well.
USCIS Immigration Approval
USCIS immigration approval is required for all international adoptions (this includes an FBI fingerprint results). This approval allows your newly adopted child to receive a VISA from the US Embassy, enter the US, and become a citizen.
Couples married for at least three years are eligible to adopt from Ethiopia. You must be at least 25 and not more than 45 years older than the child you adopt. Older parents are considered for school-aged children on a case-by-case basis. CHI has no restrictions as to religion.
For more information email: email@example.com
Travel Process
- The Ethiopia program requires families make one or two trips. Families must be present at the court hearing. You will spend a few days visiting your child, appear in court and then return back to the USA
- It will be approximately 4 – 6 weeks before you return to Ethiopia for your Embassy Appointment to bring your child home.
- On the second trip, when you travel back to Ethiopia to bring your child home, one or both parents can make this trip. Your stay in Addis Ababa will be four days and five nights. We suggest direct flights for this second trip and we will help you plan your travel.
- There is also the option of staying in country between the court appearance and the Embassy appointment. With this option, families receive custody of their child within a few days after court.
- Your child will become an automatic US Citizen as soon as he/she enters the USA. In cases of hardship, one parent can travel with a Power of Attorney from the non-traveling spouse. In this case, you must readopt your child in your state of residence when he/she comes home.
- Escort Option: We strongly urge you to travel to bring your child(ren) home from Ethiopia. However, since Ethiopia requires that must appear in court, you may choose to have your child(ren) escorted home when they are ready to travel. This will add approximately one – two months to your adoption process.

Children in Ethiopia Waiting for Families
Waiting… waiting… waiting… why are these children without families? They are available for international adoption for many reasons. This is most often due to their birth families inability to parent based on poverty. Poverty worldwide creates the need for international adoption, but it is not the only reason.
Education is another common factor. In many countries, birth control is not widely offered nor is it taught in the family, community or in school. Birth mothers also can lack education on how to parent a child or have the capability to earn a living wage to support the child. So education can play a large part in children becoming available for international adoption. In some situations, when a birth mother does become pregnant she may be shunned by both her family and her community. Many times this leads to desperate situations that force a birth parent to either abandon or relinquish their child.
Sadly, there are other factors that create orphans, war, worldwide famine, drought, and in some countries the AIDS epidemic have also created a need for adoptive parents.

Ethiopian cuisine consists of spicy vegetable and meat dishes, served with injera, a large sourdough flatbread, made out of fermented teff flour. Ethiopians eat with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of food.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 12.0578 Monday, 12 March 2001
Date: Saturday, 10 Mar 2001 17:16:50 -0800
Subject: 12.0554 Re: Black Cleopatra
Comment: Re: SHK 12.0554 Re: Black Cleopatra
"Given the tawny and "with Phoebus pinches black" references, I believe
she [Cleopatra] was played as dark-skinned in part because she was
thought of as Egyptian but also because blackness was used as a sign of
alterity in the period (hence the references to Jews as black--see the
references in Shapiro's book)."
I don't know about "alterity," but it would seem that Cleopatra was
portrayed by Shakespeare and others as having a Mediterranean complexion
because that's what history said she had. Jews were referred to as
"black" because they had a similar Mediterranean complexion. This is
not to say that writers did not play metaphorically on the word "black"
as wicked or "fair" as good, they certainly did, but the point is that
the word "black" was used by Shakespeare and many others writing at the
time in a purely descriptive fashion as we would use the term "brunette"
or "dark-complexioned," meaning tan, whether born tan or tanned by the
sun, and not black as we use it today to distinguish persons of central
African descent. "Tawny" was the Elizabethan word for the color "tan."
"Black and tawny" was a favored color combination for livery. I suspect
that it was the original of the British forces of today that are
referred to as the "black and tans." (If anyone has more information on
this I'd appreciate hearing of it.)
I've been asked for a more complete reference to the quote I mentioned
in an earlier post on the Bassanos. This is from page 78 of David
Lasocki's 1995 "The Bassanos: Venetian Musicians and Instrument Makers
in England, 1531-1665." Sorry, I did not save the source they gave for
the Sheriff's quotation.
"On 22 September 1584, John Spencer, a former Sheriff of London, asked
by the Crown to account for his behavior towards Arthur, Edward I and
Jeronimo II Bassano, 'which were committed to ward [prison] for their
misdemeanor', twice went out of his way to point out that neither he nor
any of his fellow law officers knew the identity of the men they were
arresting." The occasion was a street skirmish caused by the blocking up
of a street by the authorities, which angered the residents who began
dismantling the blockage. "At this point the Bassanos came near to the
site and stayed talking and looking at the work until they too were
ordered to leave. 'They eftsoons very obstinately refused,' saying to
Spencer, "This is the Queen's ground and we will stand here.' When told
that if they would not depart 'by fair means' they would be sent to
ward, 'one of them

My career as a stair builder got its start thanks in large part to Hurricane Andrew, which prompted stricter structural requirements in the Florida Building Code that in turn led to wider acceptance of two-story homes. These homes needed stairs, of course, and I followed the book as I learned how to build them. But it seemed to me that most handrail tasks - determining rail height, laying out balusters, and cutting easings with a pitch block - required three hands; since I usually work alone and have only two, I began improvising ways to make my life easier and ultimately do a better job.

RESIDENTS have moved into the first new homes on a £20million development in a Basingstoke neighbourhood.
Sentinel Housing Association began the regeneration project last July, in which 90 outdated maisonettes are being replaced with 190 new homes with open space, play areas and parking.
Sentinel staff have now handed over the keys to the first new shared ownership homes at New Horizons.
Sabrina Cooke and her daughter were among the first to move into the new development.
Sabrina said: "It's wonderful to be here. The house is fabulous and it's changed our lives.
"After splitting with my partner, we had to move back in with my parents while I saved up for a place of our own. Then in February I saw this house.
"The shared ownership process was really quick and easy, and I got the keys on July 9.
"I've already met some of my new neighbours, who are really nice. And we're so excited about creating our new community. I can't wait to see the development finished – especially the children's play areas."
Sentinel worked closely with local residents to develop the plans for the regeneration.
Mike Shepherd, Sentinel's development director, said: "We'd like to welcome everyone who's moving into these first new homes.
"The shortage of affordable homes in the UK has led to a well publicised housing crisis in recent years. And we're proud to be making home ownership a reality for families like Sabrina and her daughter.
"The 67 homes we're providing here for low-cost ownership will give many more families in the area the opportunity to invest in their future and build sustainable, vibrant communities for generations to come."
Residents will have the chance to work with artist Helena Roden on the design for a new centre piece of public art being specially created for the development.
The first phase of the development is due to be finished by March 2015 and the second in the spring of 2016.
In total, there will be 67 two- three-bedroom homes for low-cost ownership, 68 two-three-bedroom homes for social rent, and 54 two-four-bedroom homes for affordable rent.

Israeli aircraft fired a missile at Hamas fighters preparing to shoot mortar shells at Gaza Strip settlements Wednesday, the first such strike since a de facto cease-fire was declared in February 2005. Hamas said one of its members was critically injured in the attack.
Earlier, Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian fighter on the Gaza Strip-Egypt border, witnesses said, according to news agencies. They said Ahmed Barhoum, 22, a Hamas man, was hit in the head by a bullet.
Israeli sources conveyed Palestinians shot at Israeli soldiers operating in the area, who returned fire.
Hamas stated the man was on a "jihadic mission" when he was killed. According to Palestinian sources, Barhoum was guarding the edge of the Rafah refugee camp.

During the American Revolutionary War, (James Potter) led militia troops at the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine and Germantown. In April 1777, he was promoted to brigadier-general of the Pennsylvania militia. In 1777, with the troops under his command in the counties of Philadelphia, Chester, and Delaware, he obtained important information for George Washington, and prevented supplies from reaching the enemy. On 11 December, while the army under Washington was on its way to Valley Forge, after part of it had crossed the Schuylkill River at Matson's Ford, it was found that the enemy under Cornwallis were in force on the other side. "They were met," writes Washington, "by General Potter, with part of the Pennsylvania Militia, who behaved with great bravery, and gave them every possible opposition until he was obliged to retreat from their superior numbers." On this same day a group of Pennsylvania Militia under the command of General Potter defended the home of Thomas Wynne of Blockley from a band of British marauders.[1] The graves of three British soldiers killed are on the Wynnestay property.[2] After this day of service Potter took a leave of absence to care for his sick wife. Accompanying General Potter through the Revolutionary War was his servant Hero Wade.[3]
"The first horse I remember to ride alone, was one taken in the Revolution by William GILSON who then lived on the Conodoguinett creek, where Harlacher's mill now is - he was one of Hindman's Riflemen, and after the battle of Trenton, he being wounded in the leg, two of his brother soldiers were helping him off the field, they were pursued by three British Light Horsemen, across an old field and must be taken, they determined to sell themselves as dear as possible, GILSON reached the fence and propped himself against it, "now says he, "man for man, I take the foremost," he shot him down, the next was also shot, the third missed, the two horses pursued their course and were caught by GILSON and his companions and brought into camp; his blue dun lived to a great age; GILSON was offered 1500 pounds for him. GILSON removed to Westmoreland county; his wife was also a TRINDLE; he left a numerous and respectable family."

     Lots of questions this week. These are the ones dealing with pc-sysinstall:

should /home be added to pc-sysinstall/conf/exclude-from-upgrade? Is this file also read during a restore?

installMedium= variable in pcinstall.cfg: is usb a choice or is it just ftp, dvd, rsync?

packageType= variable: is uzip correct choice for PC-BSD and tar for FreeBSD? when should you use lzma?

does pcinstall.cfg support the packageAdd variable for adding packages to FreeBSD install?

what happens if any of these variables are left blank or are missing?
rootPass=, userName=, userComment=, userShell=, userHome= i.e. does the install continue? will the system just boot with root logged in?

why is the operator group included in userGroups= ?

what is the difference between runCommand= and runExtCommand= ?

is there a syntax checker for pcinstall.cfg? what happens if there is a typo in this file?

startautoinstall.sh fails with: .: Can't open /functions.sh: No such file or directory

Cheers,

A woman who has developed white blotches on her skin since using a Kanebo Cosmetics Inc. product is suing the company for ¥48 million, it was learned Thursday.
The woman, who filed the lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court, is believed to be the first person to sue Kanebo over the skin problem, which has been blamed on a skin-whitening ingredient in some of its products.
According to her written complaint and other sources, the Tokyo woman started using a product containing Rhododenol, a skin brightening ingredient developed by Kanebo, in July 2011. Around September the same year, she began developing such symptoms as itchy skin and white blotches on her face, neck and arms.
The woman is demanding compensation based on the product liability law and other legal provisions. She contends her symptoms could have been prevented from getting worse if Kanebo had recalled the products or issued warnings sooner.
Kanebo, a subsidiary of Kao Corp., publicly admitted July 4 that its products were involved in the problem and said that 9,959 customers had experienced or were developing similar symptoms as of Sept. 1.
The company has is paying the medical expenses of some victims and is voluntarily issuing compensation based on symptoms and length of time required for recovery.
A Kanebo official declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Gorman: Allderdice twins spell double trouble in City
Jerry Haslett trusted his eyes while watching the Jackson twins playing varsity basketball at Allderdice as freshmen.
But the Dragons football coach couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.
"Everybody and their mother was telling me, 'Coach, those boys aren't as good in basketball as they are in football. You should see them,' " Haslett said. "They said people all over the city knew about them in midget football. That's how phenomenal they'd been."
In their first season of high school football, identical twins James and Timothy Jackson have become City League phenoms.
James, older by 21 minutes, is a quarterback who has passed for 1,202 yards and seven touchdowns.
"When he drops back to throw the ball, you can tell he's a quarterback," Haslett said. "He could probably play anywhere he wanted."
Timothy, who claims he's an inch taller at 6-foot-1, 155 pounds, is James' favorite receiver and is averaging 34.6 yards on his 19 catches.
"He's fast," Haslett said. "He gets behind people and they don't know it."
If Haslett can hardly contain his excitement, it's because the Jackson twins give Allderdice a shot at winning the City League football championship. And Allderdice hasn't won a City championship since 1967.
That's the longest drought of any City school — open or closed — and one the Dragons hope to end.
"We can do it," James said. "It's a goal."
Where USO — the co-op between University Prep, Science & Technology and Obama Academy — is the favorite, the Jacksons are the stars of a special sophomore class that gives Allderdice hope for the future.
The twins, who are from Wilkinsburg but now reside in Highland Park, are not only inseparable but have an intuition for each other.
"I really can't describe it," James said, "but there's a special bond."
Want evidence? Five of James' scoring passes this season are to Timothy.
"Whenever there's a big play that needs to be made, he gives it to me," Timothy said. "It's a big advantage. He just knows where I'm at on the field."
Their favorite play came last week against Brashear, when they hooked up for a 39-yard touchdown with 42 seconds left in the 23-18 win.
Allderdice has to play Brashear again Thursday in the City League semifinals and is expecting an encore.
Where the Dragons are doubling their pleasure, to the rest of the City, the Jacksons are twice the trouble.

The other day on our early morning walk, my friends and I noticed an old Wonder Horse in someone's front yard. So we talked about the Wonder Horses of our youth and how much we loved them even though you could fall off and crack your head open. Or get your bare toes mangled in the springs. Or end up sailing (YEEHAW!) halfway across the family room if you rode too hard, in which case you cracked your head open again.
Dude. It's like that toy was specifically designed to maim small children.
A lot of toys used to be like that. Child-maimers.
Remember Easy Bake Ovens that really baked cakes, for instance? And also fingers? Or the old Mattel Vac-U-Form (aka the "ThingMaker") that cooked Creepy Crawlers? And also fingers?
What about Tinker Toys? Hey! You could totally put your brother's eye out with one of those sticks if you felt like it. AND WHAT ABOUT THE CLACKERS, PEOPLE? Remember clackers? Two hard plastic balls on strings that Wikipedia describes as being "similar in appearance to the Argentinian weapons, bolas"? Seriously, is it ever a good thing when toys are described as looking like weapons? From Argentina?
Speaking of weaponry for small children, who can forget the belt buckle cap gun, introduced in 1959 by Mattel. To the naked eye, it looked like an ordinary belt buckle ... that is until the child wearing it did a quick, well-timed pelvic thrust and BOOYAH! Exploding caps everywhere, baby!
Talk about taking the bad guys and everybody else in a 50-yard radius by surprise.
Want another example of a suspect toy from the 1950s? How about the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab a junior chemistry set that came with actual uranium-bearing ore samples, because who doesn't want a kid to mess around with a few good radioactive rocks every now and then?
Then there was the Cabbage Patch Kids Snacktime Kid with fully functional mechanical jaws that ate pretend "snacks." And real hair.
Also! Remember lawn darts? Big freaking lawn darts? Need I say more? Seriously, you could kill a cow with those. (Not that The Salt Lake Tribune in any way, shape or form endorses the killing of American cows with lawn darts.)
I guess the point is this: Most of these toys would NOT be invented today. Concrete playgrounds with merry-go-rounds, metal slides and seesaws (aka "teeter-totters") wouldn't be invented either. We're much more safety-savvy now, and that's a very, very good thing.
Except ...
Sometimes I wonder if the main message we send our kids these days is that everything is dangerous. Riding a bike. Going out in the sun. Talking to strangers, even if it's the old woman standing next to your mother in the checkout line. Eating processed food (Gwyneth Paltrow recently said she would rather die than feed her kids a Cup-a-Soup.)
HEY, ALL YOU KIDS OUT THERE! HAVEN'T YOU GOTTEN THE MEMO YET? LIFE WILL KILL YOU! It's like we've turned into that robot on "Lost in Space," flapping our vacuum hose arms while shouting, "Danger! Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!"
My son with the 3-year-old daughter rolls his eyeballs whenever I start talking like this. "You make wanting to protect your child sound like it's a bad thing," he says. I can only apologize and tell him that's not what I mean. It really isn't.
And I also don't mean we should give them dangerous toys and let Cabbage Patch Kids Snacktime dolls accidentally chew off all their hair.
I'm just saying that in the well-intentioned rush to shield our kids, we might not always help them understand that taking a risk now and then can be a good thing.
Even if it's you know risky.

Reviews for Country-Style Pork Loin
Average Rating
"Was really tasty and pork was nice and tender. Would make it again."
"Seasoned the roast according to the recipe with the addition of some garlic powder. Put roast in slow cooker on bed of onion slices. Prepared as per recipe. Roast was moist and tender. Delicious! I'd make it again. I did not use the drippings to make the gravy, ran out of time."
"I was excited to make this recipe but was then disappointed in the outcome. The meat was tender but both meat and gravy lacked flavor. I am sure once I doctor it up it will be much better. It's a good base but definitely needs work."
"Lacked Flavor...I read all the comments and really seasoned. I even added fresh garlic and an onion. That wasn't the most disappointing part, the meat was so dry. I only had it on for 5 hours on low. I checked it at 3hr30min and the internal temp was 145 which is perfect. I should of took it out, but everyone said how moist it is so I wanted to be true to the recipe. Such a letdown. The house smelled amazing for hours and I was dying to eat it. I threw most of it away. And that gravy was nothing special."
"Based on comments that indicated a need for additional seasoning I added a quartered onion with the meat in the crock pot. It was delicious. I will definitely make this again."
"Was absolutely fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!"
"Made this recipe according to the directions and it was fantastic. This is definately a keeper!!!"

"This was super yummy! Both my husband and I loved it and even my 4 and 7 year olds both gobbled it up...definitely a keeper!"
"I followed the recipe and was very disappointed with it. It was very bland - both the pork and the gravy. Maybe needs some garlic - but as both my husband and I were not impressed, I will not be making this again."
"Very bland."
"Amazing! didnt and wouldn't change a thing!"
"Very good! I think I will double the seasonings next time, but otherwise, great!"

"Great slow cooker meal! Have been looking for a pork loin recipe and this is perfect! Yum!"
"Good. Gravy got a little too thick, but I will just add a little less cornstarch next time."
"It was very easy to prepare and turned out great. It was even a hit with my 3 and 4 year old. The meat was very tender and the gravy was great with mashed potatoes and corn."
"My family LOVED this! The pork turned out moist and tender, and the gravy is delicious! Will definitely be making again!"
"This was absolutely mouthwatering! So delicious! My house smelled amazing all day long and the pork literally melts in your mouth! Even my picky 4 year old loved this!"
"This is an simple, but wonderful recipe. The pork loin was so moist and tasty. My kids loved it!"
"My family thinks this can't be beat! Everytime I make it they comment on how good it is. I do make more gravy, but other than make exactly as the recipe states. Couldn't be easier."
"Great recipe, really, really simple! I will definitely make it again."
"It's so good! My family loved it! I will definately make this again!"
"I usually tweek recipes to my families taste but this one I didn't change a thing and after eating it I never will. I stuck it with a fork and it was like butter. I put this in my favorites pile."
"This is one of the best slow cooker recipes I've ever made! My husband is a very picky eater and he really liked it. I made a 1.66 lb pork tenderloin so I cut the recipe in half and it was delicious. Definitely a keeper!"
"A great slow-cooker meal. I did add more cornstarch than was called for since we like a more gravy-like consistency."

Ryan Campbell and Chris Curran bagged second half goals to give Ballinamallard the victory over Portadown at Ferney Park today.
A game that saw few chances saw the Mallards take the lead 19 minutes from time through substitute Ryan Campbell before Curran rattled in a second two minutes later to assure Whitey Anderson's side of the points, and a first home league win of the season.
The first half saw little in the way of goalmouth action as both defences controlled things.
Portadown had the first effort at goal as the lively Ryan Burns got on the end of a Ross Redman cross from the left but failed to get his header on target while Curran saw a free kick smash into the wall at the other end of the pitch.
A scrappy affair saw Mallards goalkeeper Alvin Rouse push away a Chris Casement shot after good work from Burns while Ports goalkeeper David Miskelly got down to gather another Curran effort.
The second half continued in the same manner as the first, and the encounter had a draw written all over it until the home side swooped to make the breakthrough in the 71st minute.
McCartney drove a low cross that Miskelly could only parry out as far as Campbell who made no mistake in firing into the back of the net.
And the Mallards then doubled their lead two minutes later as Andy Crawford sent Curran through on the right with the winger powering forward before drilling his shot across the goalkeeper to the corner of the net.
From this there was no way back for Portadown as the Mallards saw out the remainder of the encounter to claim another three points which lifts them up to fifth in the Danske Bank Premiership table.

James Bond 25 - Sam Mendes on Daniel Craig's post-Spectre future
After all the anticipation, Spectre has been and gone, and the internet rumour-mill now turns to the nascent Bond 25. Still officially the incumbent James Bond, Daniel Craig hasn't committed himself to returning, and it's possible to read the final scenes of Spectre as his bidding farewell to the role. And according to director Sam Mendes, there may be something in that.
"It did feel to me like Daniel was saying goodbye to Bond at the end", Mendes told Empire at the awards last night, "but there's clearly a way he can easily come back. Bond isn't dead! So that's clearly Daniel's call. But I think you've got to feel 100% to come back, and I think he knows that. He needs to have a break and do another role and see how he feels after that. I'll be watching with as much interest as you guys."
Much was made last year of Craig appearing to say he'd rather slash his wrists than play Bond again. But his words were taken slightly out of context; he was talking about his exhaustion with the role having just finished a gruelling shoot. He didn't necessarily mean forever. So Mendes' words here leave us more or less in the same place, while confirming that Craig has been consciously given an out should he decide to take it.
Development on Bond 25 begins imminently. No cast, director or screenwriters have yet been announced, although Christoph Waltz' Bond contract was reportedly for three films...

Sundazed Music, Inc. is an American independent record label based in Coxsackie, in the Catskills of New York. It specializes in obscure and rare recordings from the 1950s to the 1970s. In 2000, Sundazed had a staff of 15 and two mixing studios, including a vintage audio equipment collection.
Label founders Bob Irwin and his wife Mary started the label in 1989. Irwin's skill at restoring old vinyl records for the (then new) CD format, attracted the attention of major labels, who increasingly solicited him to help them re-issue material from their back catalogs. He helped Sony Music release their archival Legacy Records label. Later, his restoration work included early material by the likes of Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, and the Byrds. Irwin also worked at Arista for a time.
The first Sundazed releases were 1960s recordings by the Knickerbockers and the Five Americans, and reflected Irwin's personal preference for garage rock and surf music. Later releases included the albums of the Turtles, the Challengers, Liverpool Five, and Jan and Dean's long-lost album Save for a Rainy Day. The company reissued the complete catalog of LPs by New Orleans funk pioneers the Meters on vinyl and CD. The label later ventured into country music, including extensive reissues of Capitol Records albums by Buck Owens and other acts including Jimmy Bryant. Sundazed also issued vintage jazz guitar albums through their Euphoria label.
Sundazed also reissued the Columbia Moby Grape albums, but were immediately forced to withdraw the first three albums due to legal disputes. They also reissued Oar by Skip Spence, and released the long-lost Columbia sessions by the group Love.
In 2009, they signed Morly Grey to reissue The Only Truth.<ref>[1] Archived March 8, 2008, at the Wayback Machine.</ref>

Kraken Summoned
Kraken says: "Who dares to defile the City of Atlantis!"
Kraken Slain
You and your men have been on the open sea for several days now. Although unexciting, you are thankful that the trip has been uneventful. However, as the air cools and the skies darken, you know that period of peace will be short-lived. The waves are getting higher and higher and you hope this ships will stay afloat. In the distance, you can see a large whirlpool forming and quickly inform all ships to change course to avoid the dangerous obstruction. Then out of nowhere a large sea monster rises above the water and towers over the fleet of ships.
Kraken: "Who dares to defile the City of Atlantis?"
The massive creature has multiple tentacles flailing about crushing ships as if they were mere playthings. You quickly direct all ships to head for the cliffs. The remaining ships do their best to escape the reach of the Kraken. Going full speed ahead, you are able to reach the cliffs although some of the others ships were less fortunate to do so. You put into motion your plan. You direct a few of the remaining ships to circle west around the Kraken while doing their best to stay out of the Kraken's grasp. The the ships along the cliff wall will do try to keep the Kraken's attention.
You and your men fire arrows but they bounce harmlessly off of the Kraken's thick hide. At least the Kraken has ignored the ships circling around it. The ships have reached the attack point and fire off a flaming arrow into the sky to signal for the counterattack. The ship fires a large ballista towards the Kraken. It missed! You signal again for another volley. Another large ballista arrow is launched from the ship deck. It strikes the Kraken in the tentacle and the forward momentum of the arrow pins the tentacle against the cliff wall as you had planned. Now the beast is vulnerable!
Although still dangerous, you now have an opening to slay the beast. The Kraken continues to flail about screaming in anguish over its pinned tentacle. You are able to get close enough to the beast and dive into the water without fear for your own well-being. Fending off and avoiding the tentacles you reach the beast. You look at it and realize that it was only doing its job of being a guardian but it has destroyed the lives of your men and you must push forth into Atlantis. You plunge your blade into the eye of the Kraken and it shrieks in pain. The beast continues to flail around for mere moments before it starts sinking down back into the depths of the ocean. You can now continue your journey forward.
Kraken says: "Lord Poseidon will not allow your presence to corrupt Atlantis!"

This Cat is Just "Chillin" (video)
Here is my video-of-the-day.
Yes, it's another cat video, but this cat is special. He's cool. I mean, his day is done. He's probably played, caught a couple of mice, climbed a few trees, so it's time to relax and just hanging around…you know…chill!
Now that's one "cool cat!"

A new organization for Jewish work among Jewish students in the American universities to function as an advisory and coordinating body to all organizations now separately conducting such activities among Jewish students, was created yesterday at a meeting of representatives of twelve national Jewish organizations which took place in Temple Emanu-El under the chairmanship of Dr. David Philipson.
The new body, to be known as the Conference on Jewish Activities at Universities, will be advisory in character, but it will have power by common consent to initiate such work among the Jewish students as is not being covered by any of the existing organizations for student work, such as the Hillel Foundations of the I. O. B. B. and others. The precise functions of the organization were defined in a resolution presented by Rabbi Isaac Landman and adopted following a lively discussion participated at chiefly by Alfred M. Cohen, president of the I. O. B. B., Rabbis Jacob Kohn, Wolsey. Samuel Cohen, Enelow, Frankel and others. The resolution reads:
"The purpose of this Conference shall be to study and discuss with a view to cooperation among its constituent organizations and, if found necessary, to initiate by common consent, Jewish work among Jewish students in American Universities. Its character shall be advisory."
The conference adopted a constitution for the new organization, providing for regular annual meetings and special meetings whenever found necessary, for representation by the various constituent national Jewish organizations on the Executive Committee and for annual dues of $25 to be paid by each constituent organization. Other means of securing funds for the work of the Conference will be used whenever advisable. This constitution will be considered as permanently ratified if no disagreement by any of the constituent bodies is filed on or before April I.
The organizations represented at yesterday's conference were:
Independent Order B'nai B'rith, represented by Alfred M. Cohen and Rabbi Frankel; Intercollegiate Menorah Association, Aaron Horowitz, Harry Starr; Jewish Chautauqua, Rabbis Wm. Rosenau, Abraham Wolsey, Marvin Nathan; Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, Rabbi Leo Jung. Mrs. Harold C. Stern; Council of American Jewish Student Affairs, Arthur Snyder, Edward Davis, Harold Riegelman; Young People's League of the United Synagogue, Rabbi Samuel Cohen, Geo. M. Hyman, Irving H. Fisher; Commission on Jewish Education of the United American Hebrew Congregations, Rabbis David Philipson, H. G. Enelow, Leo M. Franklin; National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods. Mrs. Maurice Steinfeld, Mrs. David Goldfarb, Rabbi George Zeppin; National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods, Arnold M. Schmidt: Central Conference of American Rabbis, Rabbis Isaac Landman, Jacob B. Pollack, Leo M. Franklin; United Synagogue of America, Rabbis Jacob Kohn, Elias Margolis; Rabbinical Assembly, Rabbis Jacob Kohn, Elias Margolis, Jesse Schwartz.

Caption above should be: "Boy was that easy?"
1) Was it just me, or did this look like a preseason game? I mean, missing were Ryan Callahan, Rick Nash, Carl Hagelin, Michael Del Zotto, Marian Gabo … oh, wait, forget that one; Martin Brodeur, Patrik Elias, Ryane Clowe (shocker), Ilya Koval … oh, wait, forget that one too.
2) I thought it was a tad pollyanish that the Rangers and Alain Vigneault thought they played so well defensively. Eight chances allowed is, indeed, a good number, but there was a complete mess-up with two defensemen behind the icing line in the opening minutes, and two of the goals were horrible defensive lapses. Granted, the goalie could stop one or two of the four, and maybe they lose 2-0 and today we're all talking, as usual around these parts, about how the Rangers have no offensive skill. And they showed that, too.
3) Henrik Lundqvist was pretty good after the game, taking a heap of the blame, before Vigneault added his own. And he should have. I think two of those goals should have been stopped. That's been the case in far too many games already this season, both by Lundqvist and the departed Martin Biron. Listen to the audio if you haven't already done so. Maybe Lundqvist thinks you're not allowed to make a good pass from the trapezoid?
4) The Devils also, still, no matter what "interchangeable flock of forwards" they throw out there, limit your offense, sit and wait for your mistakes, then pounce. And their six D-men, who really shouldn't be as good as the Rangers' six, were better in this game. Usually part of the problem against the Devils is Brodeur sending dump-ins right back out. That problem was removed last night. And still …
5) The Del Zotto decision. I like the little bit of bite in Justin Falk's game, and the way he plays around the front of the net … I'm not sure he's better defensively than Del Zotto, but so far he hasn't been worse. Falk was easily the best of the Rangers' six around the net at the Rock. I know, that's not saying much either.
6) I usually have a Monster or Beast of the game. I'm going to start, periodically, naming the Friendly Ghost of the Game. Been singling out Derick Brassard too much in that regard, and Mats Zuccarello probably not enough. Lot of supposed top-six forwards from which to pick last night. I'll go with the first-line center. No. 21=Friendly Ghost.
7) The Benoit Pouliot hit on Bryce Salvador was certainly legal. Doesn't mean it wasn't dangerous.
8) How about Zuccarello getting pancaked right before that?
9) Fortunately for the Rangers, they play in the equivalent of the NFC East. Minus the good name. Metropolitan. Oy.
10) How did all these NHL teams with goaltending issues let the Devils beat them to Cory Schneider?
11) The best thing about Newark? It's not Uniondale.
12) Mr. Snider's House next. Somebody go light up the Empire State Building in Orange Crud.

AS the federal government was still trying to contact three Australians held on a Japanese ship, an activist previously tried for boarding the same vessel has warned the men face an austere regime and potentially a Tokyo jail that ''plays havoc with your mind''.
The Attorney General, Nicola Roxon, said it was the government's first priority to ensure the men were in good health and ''held in appropriate conditions''.
The Sea Shepherd released video yesterday which shows the men scrambling over the side of the Shonan Maru No.2 from a rigid dinghy in pre-dawn darkness on Saturday night and through a razor wire barricade.
Geoffrey Tuxworth, 47, of Perth, Simon Peterffy, 44, of Bunbury, and Glen Pendlebury, 27, of Fremantle, are now likely to be held in a small cabin with guards posted outside.
New Zealander Peter Bethune was detained for five months after boarding the same ship in 2010. He was tried but given a suspended sentence. ''If they get taken back to Japan and put in maximum security, it's a very unpleasant experience,'' he said.
''I was held in a form of solitary confinement … It certainly plays havoc with your mind.''
The legal situation surrounding the boarding and detention of the three men remains unclear. Four experts yesterday disagreed about whether any Australian law might apply. All agreed Japanese law could be applied.
''Custody is absolutely key here,'' said Associate Professor Tim Stephens, from the University of Sydney.
Sandy Street, SC, said if Commonwealth law applied, it was nevertheless unlikely the three had committed an offence under Australian law when engaging in a protest.
He also warned that, depending on the circumstances, they might be able to sue the master or owner of the ship over their detention. ''If they [Japanese] have wrongfully detained them that would be tortious conduct for which they could be held liable in Australian courts.''
Ms Roxon said: ''It's not surprising that when you board a ship without having been invited to that you might find that the people on that ship want to question you.
''Obviously, we are very keen to have a constructive and open dialogue with the Japanese officials.''

Medics scrambling to fill drug shortages
When the ambulance comes, you expect it to have all the supplies you'll need. But around the nation, a critical shortage of some life-saving drugs to stabilize the patient on the way to the hospital has local ambulance services scrambling.
"This is epinephrine. We are having issues getting the 1,000-10,000 dose," says Greenwood Fire Department Division Chief Darin Hoggatt.
The shortage of that drug shortage is evident in the Greenwood medic kit carried aboard one fire truck. Hoggatt showed Eyewitness News part of a row of loops that usually hold the vials of the pre-mixed drug - they're partly empty.
Medics in Indianapolis, Wayne Township, Greenwood, Fishers and more are all making do, using lower or higher doses of the drug and diluting it with saline to get the right dose. They often must mix that in the field while working on patients.
"It's not what we're used to," said Hoggatt.
Another drug running short is D-50, used to raise blood sugar. Hoggatt showed how the pre-measured dose is coupled to an IV and administered to the patient.
But if it has to be mixed, it takes extra time.
At Wayne Township, there is no shortage of D-50 right now, but other drugs are in short supply. Sodium bicarbonate and a heart drug are out of stock right now.
But they work with Wishard Hospital's pharmacy to restock with substitute drugs, according to Wayne Township Emergency Management Agency's Shane Hardwick. They also rely on help in the field.
"If I'm doing something with an airway or an IV, I've got my partner and there are firemen who are usually there, we can toss it to them. This is what we need," Hardwick said.
Suggested Links
The agencies we talk to say patient care is not suffering. They are adapting to meet shortfalls.
"They're still going to get the same care. We're just going to have to change the game plan a little bit," said Hardwick.
One downside to finding substitutes is they can be more expensive than the original drug. The reasons for the shortage are unclear. Manufacturers blame regulators and others blame the drug makers, claiming they don't want to make drugs that are relatively inexpensive.

Well that was disappointing. After spending a large part of the first episode of I'm A Celebrity in tears, it was no wonder that Helen Flanagan was nominated for the first Bushtucker Trial.
But after pulling herself together and promising to be a "champion jungle warrior princess", Helen lasted a matter of seconds in the task and failed to beat competitor Nadine Dorris.
Speaking before the trial – Bug Burial – Helen said: "I'm actually really excited.
"I really expected for me to get the challenge today anyway but I think it's a really good chance for me to redeem myself because obviously I looked like such a pathetic wimp doing the whole height thing because I've got a real phobia of heights about them but I'm raring to go.
"I really want to prove myself and be strong on this Trial and bring back the food.
"I'd be so proud of myself if I can win this Trial because I don't think I've won anything before and it would be a nice feeling. And I'm going to be a champion jungle warrior princess."
Oh Helen.
Going head to head with Nadine – who also swore to deliver food to the camp and told her campmates: "You can't say you'll do something, you can't put yourself up for something without doing your bit to deliver it" – the pair would have to lie for ten minutes in two underground crates filled with all sorts of creepy crawlies.
After ten minutes, an allen key would drop into the crate. Then it was a race to undo all three bolts before escaping from the crate and raising a flag. The first celebrity to do so would win dinner for their camp. It was an all or nothing challenge – if one celebrity said 'I'm A Celebrity . . .Get Me Out Of Here', the other still had to carry on and complete the Trial to win the food.
Upon seeing the trial, Helen said: "I even struggle with keys. Are you joking me? I'm absolutely petrified. Oh My God, do we have to do it now. Seriously? Can't we just pretend?"
After a series of AMAZING facial expressions, Helen forced herself to get into the crate and have the lid closed above her.
But as soon as the first creepy crawlies were dropped in – maggots – seconds later, Helen yelled "I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!" and she was helped out of the crate.
Nadine managed to carry on for a little longer, but after more maggots, crickets and cockroaches were tipped into the crate, she shouted "I'm A Celebrity . . .Get Me Out Of Here!" after four minutes.
With both women being forced to leave the trial with no food for their teams, Helen turned to Nadine (who didn't seem that bothered) and declared: "I want to go home."
David Haye managed to pep up his team mate, helping to toughen her up by giving her a jungle workout, but Helen isn't impressing all of her fellow campmates.
One person who appears to be finding the Corrie star a little annoying is actress Linda Robson, who has made a few jibes over the last 24 hours.
Some of Linda's comments about Helen include: "My advice would be to put something on. It might look like you're trying a bit hard."
And: "Helen reminds me of a seven year old child. She bought in bottles of St Tropez tan lotion."
Aaaand: "She's 22, very young and sheltered in her life."
Uh oh, we can foresee drama on the horizon…
Not enough of Helen for you? See her best bikini moments in the jungle so far here...

Kim Kardashian's New Year's Resolution
"I want to try to be single my whole year of being 30. I've never just dated and done whatever I wanted. I have a hundred different jobs — when do I have time to really focus on someone? I've made a promise to myself and I'm really trying hard to stick to it, but I'm such a hopeless romantic that it's hard. I don't think that's going to last, because that's just how I am. But the fact that I'm trying is a big step for me!"
—Kim Kardashian tells Rachael Ray her New Year's resolution. She sounds really committed to making this happen. I wish I had that problem where I had so many suitors I just couldn't resist. Poor Kim. [Us Weekly]

Fondazione Spinola Banna per l'Arte
Friday, 4 October, Teatro alle Tese, 8:00 p.m.
Award ceremony
The Silver Lion for new musical realities will be awarded to the Fondazione Spinola Banna per l'Arte. Founded in 2004 in Banna (TO) by the Marquises Orsola and Gianluca Spinola, the Foundation has the aim of promoting research in the fields of art and contemporary music by organizing seminars, workshops and various other activities.
The Progetto Musica is particularly innovative: its aim is to encourage the creation of new musical works, highlight the talents of young composers and give visibility to the best experiences in the realm of contemporary music. The Foundation regularly commissions a work for an instrumental ensemble from two young composers (varying from edition to edition), who are invited for a one-week residency to refine the work under the supervision of a master, along with musicians of excellence.
The residency results in with an evening for invited guests, in the Concert Hall of the Foundation, where the two pieces are performed along with a piece by the tutoring Maestro, played by the same ensemble, and a work from their historical repertoire. Every concert of the Progetto Musica has been recorded and produced in a valuable collection of CDs that is enriched year after year.
Always with the aim of supporting the spread of new music, the Foundation collaborates in the implementation of each programme, with the same performers, even at other prestigious concert venues.
The Foundation is also open to accommodating musicians for short residencies, making its Concert Hall available for recording CDs and contributing to the publication of books of musicological interest.

In our testing we used two programs: HD Tune 2.55 and SiSoftware's Sandra Lite 2009 SP1. We will be testing both USB and eSATA connection speeds for a 320GB Western Digital Caviar 16MB Cache Hard Drive. Here are the eSATA tests:
And the USB results:
The transfer rates were about the same compared to external drives that we've reviewed. Although the SiSoftware eSATA rates were a little lower than expected the USB results were still about average and even higher than normal with the HD Tune results.
The AeroCool CoolPanel 3 is a great multi-function device. Unlike some other panels the CoolPanel 3 offers not only 1, but 2 USB slots, an eSATA port, 56-in-1 card reader and HD audio jacks. The colored LCD display makes it all the better with the display of temperatures, fan speed and noise level. Although it isn't that in depth it still gives a general idea of what's going on inside of your case without having to turn your monitor on.
I was able to find the CoolPanel 3 online for about $46.99 which seems a little higher than other card readers, but I think it's well worth it for the extra features included with this device. ThinkComputers awards the AeroCool CoolPanel 3 Multi Function Card Reader a 9 out of 10 score.
– Fully featured
– Color LCD Display
– Supports many devices
– Automatic fan control
– Easy to install and use
– 2 USB headers needed on motherboard
– Cards stick out from panel
– Some light from LCD bleeds through to CF slot
