//-- Book Review: "Seven Secrets to Raising a Happy and Healthy Child – The Ayurvedic Approach to Parenting" --//
Reviewed by Roberta Waters
by Joyce Golden Seyburn
Ms. Seyburn decided to write this book after witnessing the birth of her grandchild. The "secrets" are based on common-sense and heart-propelled parenting. I guess for those whose parenting style is to squeeze in a baby between board meetings, the method of raising a healthy and happy child may seem elusive.
The author begins with living in the moment, a good way to start each day, especially if you are responsible for a little one. This lifestyle produces balance and provides for a peaceful emotional, spiritual and physical state.
The remainder of the book focuses on Ayurvedic principles. Those who are unfamiliar with this philosophy may find some of the focus to be uncomfortable, but the author strives to present the Ayurvedic concepts of balance and mindfulness in easy to understand terms. This includes good diet, touch, such as massage, and other healthful practices.
The chapter focusing on birth was inspiring because it discussed birth as a natural event, rarely requiring medical intervention. She wisely educates that "Many doctors are charming in their office during your prenatal visits but in the delivery room are quite different." She then notes that prenatals are social visits and warns women to never assume anything in regard to hospitalization and physician care.
TCM readers will be pleased to know that "Ayurveda holds that breast-feeding is best for the child and for the mother."
The book is convenient to carry and easy reading. A nice gift for a pregnant friend or new mother.

Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, who owns the New Jersey Nets of the NBA, announced today that he will create a new party to challenge Vladimir Putin for the Russian presidency.
"I made probably the most serious decision in my life. I am running for president," Prokhorov told a news conference in Moscow, RIA Novosit reports.
The announcement comes after a week of increasingly angry protests in Moscow and other Russians cities against last week's parliamentary elections and the slim victory by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party.
Demonstrators alleged that the elections were rigged and should be annulled. Official international observers have also called the elections into question.
Putin, who served two terms as president before becoming prime minister, is running again for president in the March elections.
Prokhorov said he will focus his campaign on issues affecting Russia's growing middle class and not on criticizing Putin.
"Criticism must make up no more than 10%. … I would like to focus on the things I would do," he said.
Prokhorov, who made his money in gold and metal investments, pledged to build a new political party "from scratch." He had joined the pro-business Just Cause party, but was ousted in September after he ran afoul of some Kremlin strategists in the party.
At his news conference, Prokhorov said he fully expected Russian authorities to put pressure on him or his business.
"We have a proverb in Russia that no one is guaranteed safe from misery or prison, but I am not afraid. I am not doing anything illegal, I am marching with an open visor and I am not afraid," Prokhorov said, according to RT.
Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, responded to Prokhorov's candidacy by saying that "the situation was not surprising" and that "any person who has the constitutional and legal right to run for the presidency, has this right."
The NBA said there was no issue with Prokhorov running for office.
"There is no prohibition on owners running for political office," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said. "In fact, Senator (Herb) Kohl has owned the Milwaukee Bucks since 1985 and has been a U.S. Senator since 1988."

HBO has acquired the U.S. TV rights to the Israeli documentary Precious Life, which is an official selection of this year's Toronto Film Festival. The documentary, about a four-month-old Palestinian boy from Gaza who was born without an immune system and required a bone marrow transplant that could only be done in an Israeli hospital, was directed by Israeli broadcast journalist Shlomi Eldar and produced by Ehud Bleiberg and Yoav Ze'evi. It will premiere on HBO in 2011.
HBO Acquires 'Precious Life' Documentary
7 Comments
I wonder if HBO will buy my pitch about vampires in the Middle East.
Another show about Vampires, are you f-ing kidding me. I'm sure they're just 'dying' to hear it. Pun intended.
This is the documentary in which the filmmaker discovers that the mother wishes to see her boy grow up to be a martyr, blowing up Jews in a Jerusalem bus. Nice.
I am pretty sure you didn't watch the whole movie. If you were, you would have noticed why she took the position (was afraid of what the Hamas will do to her when she returns to Gaza) and how she changed her position. I met Shlomi Eldar and he believes she was much changed. Her last attitude was that she wants her boy to live and will do all she can to advance peace.
Obviously, you did not watch the program. This story opened my eyes to the devastation that war can cause.
I have always thought; "Those people in foreign coutries just want war." I was so ignorant. As Americans we do not know the day to day scare of bombings and death in such an unnatural way. We worry about our cars, our money, our love life, and our facebook or twitter page. We dont have to fear that we will die just because we are in the blast zone or bacause of our beliefs.
World wide peace should be a desire of all of us.
America is a wonderful country, and I am thankful that I am an American. Please people, understanding and tolerance should be our motto. No tolerance for those who just wish to cause pain. This is our world and our life, shouldn't everyone with peaceful intent just be allowed to live and pursue their happiness.
Wow, you're ignorant.
every thread ive ever read on the internet ends in mindless bickering…kinda sad…just sayin…

One device exploded, but did not cause any damage or injuries, while Army experts carried out a controlled explosion on the second.
The alert began on Sunday after a claim that a device had been left in the Upper Fathom Road area, near Cloghogue roundabout.
Police suspect dissident republicans are behind the attack.
"Although the device was made safe, it was nevertheless an attack on all of the positive steps forward local communities and the police have taken in recent years," Chief Inspector Christine McCullough said.
"Police are working closely with communities across Newry and Mourne to tackle crime and the fear of crime."
The alert caused disruption to the road and rail network for several days.

Artist Talk
© René Burri / Magnum, Cuba, 1963. Ernesto Guevara (Che)
During his fifty-year career Magnum photographer René Burri has built a body of work that traces some of the world's most historically significant moments from East Germany and the USSR before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain, throughout China and Cuba over several decades, and in Vietnam and the Suez Crisis.
Alongside his iconic black-and-white photojournalist assignments, Burri would take a separate camera with colour film. Published for the first time, these colour images reveal the private, more reflective side of his photographic personality.
In this talk René Burri will discuss his photographic practice over the course of his fifty-year career.
René Burri will be signing copies of his new book Impossible Reminiscences in the Bookshop prior to his talk Wed 24 April 17.00-18.00.
René Burri was born in Zurich in 1933 and spent his early years studying colour, composition and design at the renowned School of Arts and Crafts in Zurich. It was during his military service that Burri first used a Leica camera. Shortly after, he also developed an interest in film, and from 1953-55 he worked as a documentary filmmaker.
Burri's life changed forever when the well-known photographer Werner Bischof introduced him to the prestigious photography agency Magnum Photos. After joining Magnum in 1959, his first reportage appeared in Life magazine and he subsequently worked for major news magazines including Look, Bunte, Stern, Geo, Paris Match, Schweizer Illustrierte and Du. Burri received the Dr. Erich Salomon Prize from the German Society of Photography in 1998 in recognition of his lifetime achievement as photojournalist. He lives in Paris.

text: Charles Grandison Finney (1792-1875), lawyer, Presbyterian clergyman, theologian and revivalist, was born in Warren, Connecticut. Upon his dramatic conversion in 1821 Finney left his legal career, famously proclaiming to one of his clients that he had been given "a retainer from the Lord Jesus Christ to plead his cause, and I cannot plead yours." He subsequently pursued a theological education before being ordained in 1824 by the St. Lawrence Presbytery. During his time as a missionary to settlers of upstate New York, a series of revivals broke out under his preaching and spread to the surrounding areas. He subsequently preached in several major cities along the east coast before embarking on two lengthy tours of Great Britain. Finney's sermons were injected with the New Haven Theology of Nathanial Taylor and he developed and employed new revival techniques known as "new measures." These techniques, such as holding protracted meetings for penitent sinners, supplying listeners with an anxious seat and allowing women to pray in public, drew fire from Old School Presbyterians who believed he placed too much emphasis on human effort in the act of conversion. While upholding the priority of evangelism, Finney believed strongly in social reform, and his evangelism was often linked with the abolitionist and temperance movements. Finney held several pastorates in New York before accepting an appointment as professor of theology at Oberlin Collegiate Institute, now Oberlin College, between 1851 and 1866. With his powerful extemporaneous preaching and New School Calvinism, Finney emerged as a leader in evangelical revivalism and was a major contributor to the Second Great Awakening. For further reading see Charles Hambrick-Stowe, Charles G. Finney and the Spirit of American Evangelicalism (Eerdmans, 1996).

He had an impressive collection of books on Indian and Vedic philosophy by the time I met him, many written by Yogananda.
The first of these has been traced to the Vedic Sarvara, the latter to the monster Vritra.
In the poem mention is made of the Vedic god Indra and his Maruts.
In the Vedic period the exposure of female children was not unknown; indeed, this practice is referred to in the Yajurveda.
Beyond that, the world, though open, was unknown to the Vedic poets.
For the Vedic deities are such forces as fire and light, wind and water.
There are passages in the Vedic hymns where Parganya appears as a supreme god.
The import of this stanza may be learnt by considering various Vedic texts.
This is an ordinary example of the diversities of Vedic translation.
The Vedic system little deserves the praise often lavished on it, but surely it is preferable to that which has taken its place.

Britney Spears was hissed and booed today at the British premiere of her debut film.
The 20-year-old star enraged thousands of people who had waited for hours in London's Leicester Square by failing to go on a walkabout or sign autographs before the start of her movie Crossroads.
Britney arrived almost an hour late for the premiere and was then immediately ushered inside by security staff.
After initially cheering, the 3,000 fans who had gathered began booing and chanting her name, and although she made a brief appearance on the cinema's balcony, many were left in tears.
Jane Willis said she had travelled with her daughter Gemma, 11, from Chingford, Essex, to see the star.
She said: "We've been here since 3.30 pm. Gemma's crying her eyes out because she couldn't see a thing. How does Britney expect people to go and see her film if she can't be bothered to say hello to her fans."
Meanwhile, speculation about Spears' lover life continued today with her saying she was not "in an intense relationship with anyone."
That was fueled by speculation that she and 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake had broken up.
The 20-year-old pop singer faced the British media at a news conference to promote her new film.
Journalists were warned beforehand that Spears would ignore questions about taboo topics, such as her love life.
But when a reporter asked whether she was involved in an "intense relationship," Spears replied: "No, I would not say I was in an intense relationship with anyone at the moment."
Later, she told ITV television that she felt entitled to protect her privacy.
"People talk about my private life. That goes with what I do. You have to accept that," she said. "But if they ask about it, I say it's none of your business."
Tabloids in Britain and the United States have reported that she and Timberlake have parted ways, and the cover of the April 1 issue of US Weekly magazine trumpets: "Britney ∓ Justin: It's Over."
But Spears recently told MTV that she and Timberlake were still together.
Spears and the 21-year-old boy band member have been pop music's power couple for the past two years.
They met in the mid-1990s when they were cast members on the Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club.
At age 12, each was the other's first kiss; lately, they've shared a house in the Hollywood Hills.
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Spears said she was aware of the constant scrutiny the relationship had been under.
"I've heard so many things about him, he's heard so many things about me - it's a part of what we do," she said.
"That goes along with being a celebrity, and that's how we look at it. We don't take it to heart or take it seriously. We laugh at it, to be honest with you."

With early voting already underway, and election day just three weeks away, candidates' positions and messages are all but set in stone. And so it was that very little new ground was explored Wednesday in an Athens-Clarke County mayoral debate sponsored by the Junior League of Athens.
The few dozen people who attended the latest face-off between incumbent Nancy Denson and her challenger, local activist Tim Denson (no relation), did learn, though, that both candidates do, on occasion, enjoy drinking a beer. The revelations came as the two-hour debate at the Taylor-Grady House on Prince Avenue was winding down.
After Tim Denson told the group that he enjoyed visiting downtown Athens clubs and having a beer, Nancy Denson said that she, too, will have a beer every now and again.
As the debate did come to a close, Nancy Denson used her closing statement to urge the audience to cast a ballot for "the right Denson," while Tim Denson urged a vote for "the better Denson."
Otherwise, the two candidates, responding to questions developed by Junior League members, and later, to questions from the audience screened by the debate organizers, stuck to their familiar themes.
Tim Denson repeatedly referenced his "an Athens for everyone" theme, advocating once again for expanded local transit service and for some governmental role in child care among other strategies for serving the county's poorer residents.
Nancy Denson countered with her advocacy for "an Athens where everyone who wants a job has a job," a call for economic development as a means of "making the pie bigger" to help fund government services.
Delving deeper into the economic development issue, Tim Denson advocated an approach focusing on technological start-up companies, calling for direct investment of a percentage of local public funding of economic development efforts in such enterprises.
He also called for improving the community's technological infrastructure.
Nancy Denson, on the other hand, suggested that tech start-ups have a "high failure rate," and said the community needs an industrial park as an economic development tool.
The debate briefly touched on the issue of how each candidate would work with the 10-member Athens-Clarke County Commission. Nancy Denson rejected the suggestion that she kept issues off the commission's meeting agendas, saying that only those issues brought to her "at the last minute" didn't find a place on the agenda. Issues, she said, need to be researched before presentation to the full commission.
Saying that he believes "the commissioners want to make this an Athens for everyone," Tim Denson said he wouldn't restrict access to the agenda, but would encourage "active debate ... something we don't really see nowadays."
The mayoral candidates will meet again Monday in a forum sponsored by the Federation of Neighborhoods, set for 7 p.m. at The Melting Point in the Foundry Park Inn on Dougherty Street in downtown Athens. That forum will also feature candidates for Athens-Clarke County commission seats. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Kate Moss: Bra-less St. Barts Babe
Proving why she's one of the most sought after models of this generation, Kate Moss showed off her skills during a photo shoot in St. Barts on Friday (December 14).
The British supermodel flaunted her flawless figure in a variety of swimwear and lingerie, a bra-less neon green top and a leopard print belt as she sipped on a Red Bull between takes.
In personal news, it looks like Kate might be trying to prepare herself for another baby with her husband Jamie Hince.
A pal of the 38 year-old stunner told The Sun, "Kate has made no secret among her circle that she'd love to have a baby with Jamie," adding."There's no doubt in my mind that the prospect of another child is a massive motivation for her to clean up her act."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say an Ohio woman has died from injuries suffered when she drove around a gate at a railroad crossing and was struck by a train.
Police say 45-year-old Crystal Keller, of the Columbus suburb of Worthington, was pronounced dead at a Columbus hospital late Wednesday night.
Her sport utility vehicle was hit by a train on Monday. Columbus police say in a news release that she disobeyed the railroad signals when the train was approaching a crossing on the city's north side.
Sgt. Bruce Whittaker said the train struck the vehicle on the passenger side and pushed it, breaking through the gate on other side of the Norfolk Southern track. No one else was riding with Keller.

The Habit of Witness
And the Angels Danced: The Habit of Witness
Patheos' "The Habit of Witness" series features essays written by consecrated Catholic women and men sharing their experiences while dressed in the habit. In this fifth installment, a Carmelite sister shares an encounter that settled one man's mind and heart, and rebuked "centuries of ignorance and prejudice."
It was a magnificent winter evening, the air crisp and cold as the distant sun began to descend behind the oil derricks in Carson, California. Our convent car gave a shudder as I turned the key in the ignition and carefully backed out of the driveway. Yes, I would be there on time! Prayers at our nearby convent began promptly at 5:00 p.m. and I was looking forward to joining my other Carmelite Sisters in singing God's praises. Little did I know, as I made my left turn onto Sepulveda Boulevard, that this would be no ordinary journey.
Just past Wilmington Avenue, the car wheezed and coughed, as if catching an enormous cold from the onslaught of icy wind slapping its windshield. It sputtered to a graceful stop as I eased it nearer the curb. It took me a full minute to assess the situation -- do I stand on the side of the road as a hitchhiker would, or do I start walking back home? I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer, asking my guardian angel to help me decide what to do.
Cars were whizzing by, eager to get home for the supper hour. Finishing my prayer, I thought, "Well, at least, they will see me; in my long Carmelite habit and veil, I will stand out."
Exiting the car, I dashed to the street meridian, where I joined a beautiful young Hispanic girl who was selling bouquets of flowers. I introduced myself and explained my situation in broken Spanish and she replied, "Dios se le bendiga," which means "God bless you."
Sunset came. My new friend began to pack up her unsold flowers, and I suddenly spied the Spires Restaurant. A lot of big trucks were parked nearby. Truckers! My answer had come! Saying good-bye to my newfound friend, I went to the crosswalk and, feeling like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music scene where she is toting that suitcase down the street singing, "I have confidence," I lifted my head and walked steadfastly and confidently into Spires Restaurant.
Warmth enveloped me as I stood in the entrance. "Excuse me, can anyone help me, please? My car just died outside."
About twenty sets of eyes turned toward this shuddering Carmelite, who remained hopeful that chivalry was not yet dead, and that charity still resided in the human heart.
A man seated at the counter purposefully got up and walked over to me. "Roosevelt's my name," he offered. Roosevelt appeared to me to be in his 60s. "Take me to that car and we'll see what we can do."
I led him out onto the nearby street and he said, "Can't fix it here. Have to bring it in. I'll get my truck and push you into the parking lot. You just steer." By the time we made it back to the lot, prayers at our convent had already started. I was going to be late . . . again!
Roosevelt tinkered with the car's innards. "Yup, that's it. Battery's dead." He proceeded to take jumper cables out of his truck and attached them to our convent car. "This will take about fifteen minutes," he said. "May I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Now that the sun had totally set, it was getting colder. I accepted his offer, gratefully.
Sr. Timothy Marie is a Carmelite Sister of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus of Los Angeles, a contemplative-active community with apostolates in Health Care, Education, and Retreats. She is working currently in the Communications Office of the Carmelite Sisters and is co-editor of their magazine, Spirit of Carmel (from which this piece is adapted), which promotes a deeper spiritual life among God's people through Carmelite Spirituality.

Leading the way for Liberty was Sam Chelanga (R-So., Nairobi, Kenya), who finished first overall to remain unbeaten during his first season in a Flames uniform. Jordan McDougal (R-Sr., Peru, N.Y.) followed Chelanga across the line, claiming runner-up honors for the second year in a row at the conference meet. Josh Edmonds (Jr., Cooperstown, N.Y.) and Jake Reed (R-So., Marysville, Ohio) also earned All-Big South honors, finishing fourth and 10th, respectively.
Two conference champions top this week's Southeast Region men's poll. ACC first-place finisher Virginia remains at No. 1, followed by Colonial Athletic Association champion William & Mary in second place.
On the women's side, the Lady Flames moved up to No. 14 in the Southeast Region, after missing out on their third consecutive Big South title by a single point. Coastal Carolina edged host Liberty, 54-55, on Saturday, and the Chanticleers are listed one spot ahead of Liberty in this week's regional poll, at No. 13.
Rebekah Ricksecker (Sr., Laurel, Del.) finished second overall, to lead the Lady Flames' effort and earn her third consecutive All-Big South distinction. Classmate Ashley Osborne (Bristol, Va.) was also an all-conference member, as a result of her 10th-place finish. A couple of freshmen, Hannah Hunt (Sewickley, Pa.) and Denise Troyer (Kennedyville, Md.) also contributed significantly to Liberty's fifth consecutive conference top-two finish, placing 15th and 17th, respectively.
The top five spots in the women's Southeast Region poll are owned by ACC squads, paced by Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons finished third at Saturday's ACC Championships. Duke, which is ranked second in the region, and Virginia, listed third in the region, shared fourth place at the ACC meet.
The Liberty men's and women's teams will square off against their regional foes in their next meet, the NCAA Division I Southeast Regional Championships. The meet is scheduled for Nov. 15 and will be hosted by Wake Forest at Tanglewood State Park in Clemmons, N.C. The women's 6K championship is slated for 11 a.m., with the men's 10K race to follow at noon.

(NYSE:HOT) today announced its sizzling Aloft brand has reached the 75 th hotel milestone with the opening of Aloft Panama, the brand's fourth hotel in Latin America. After the most global brand launch in the history of hospitality, Aloft is already operating in 14 countries and is set to debut in another 10 countries by 2016. In the past six months alone, the Aloft brand has opened hotels in Miami, Chicago, Cleveland, Tulsa, Cancun, Bursa, Kuala Lumpur and Ahmedabad. The brand's momentum continues unabated and the company expects to open a total of 17 hotels by year's end, more than tripling the number of rooms opened in 2012, with another 19 hotels to come by the end of 2014. Unlike other hotel brands that are just beginning to realize the importance of catering to the always-connected lifestyle of today's travelers, Aloft Hotels was conceived with this notion and guest in mind. Pioneering initiatives in music, design, and technology, the Aloft brand continues to exceed travelers' expectations and has cultivated high guest satisfaction and brand loyalty since its launch. "From the start, Aloft has been an industry game-changer that has turned the specialty select category on its head," said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President of Specialty Select Brands for Starwood. "With its design-led focus, accessible new technologies and buzzing social scene, Aloft delivers exactly what the next generation traveler wants now. The fact that we can deliver this all at an affordable price point, in more and more markets each year, has helped fuel the brand's worldwide growth." In North America, the Aloft brand has reached 55 hotels with nearly 20 more in the pipeline, while Asia Pacific remains the brand's second fastest growing market with a total of 12 hotels currently open. In the next 12 months, Aloft Hotels will add three more hotels to its China portfolio with openings slated for Dalian, Yancheng and Guangzhou, and another two hotels in India with openings in Bengaluru and New Delhi. In Latin America, Aloft will increase its portfolio to six hotels in 2014, with new hotels set to debut in Guadalajara and Merida, and the brand will also expand in the Middle East with the opening of Aloft Riyadh early next year.

Effective Leadership By Mick Ukleja
August 13th, 2013 - Do you find yourself fearing the future? You're not quite sure what it holds and it scares you just a bit? Are you overwhelmed, wondering how it will all turn out? Will you have enough to live on as you plod toward the sunset?
These kinds of thoughts become emotional distractions that can immobilize at best, and derail at worst.
Is there a remedy for this counter-productive thinking? The answer is YES. There is a solution. It's called artwork – emotional artwork. And gratitude is at the top of the list.
Are you grateful? That's a big question. You can be grateful for the big things like health, or even the little things like the comforts of your home. It's not a science as much as it is an art, whereby you acknowledge certain things in your life. We all have a sneaking suspicion that there are benefits of doing this. But what are they?
#1 – Gratitude Creates An Energy Shift. The act of being grateful produces emotions that are positive. Our human tendency is to wait until we feel an emotion and then act on it. The truth is that the action produces the feeling. If I wait for the feeling before I act, I might never get around to it. Therefore, if you find yourself emotionally down or depressed, or if you feel you are in transition and sense that things in your life aren't going well, what should you do? The act of being grateful will begin to produce your desired feeling.
Acknowledging, even for a few minutes a day, the things you are grateful for – big or little – will shift your energy in profound ways. You won't be able to help feeling better. You will also discover that this is incremental and builds on itself. The act of thanking precedes the emotional benefits.
So develop the habit of acting before feeling. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." The word, emotion, has as its root the word, motion. It means to move. Start moving and the emotions will follow. Wait until the emotions propel you forward and you may never start moving. The act of being grateful will produce the energy shift. And the more you do this, the more positive energy you will create.
But there's more!
#2 – By Focusing On What Is Good, You Will Attract More Good. You reap what you sow. If you are grateful for your health, your job, your senses, your partner, your friends, you will reinforce the good that already exists. But you will also be laying the groundwork for more good.
So, before I encourage goal setting, I like to emphasize the need to acknowledge what you already have. What is good? What is working? Don't take it for granted. Then let your acknowledgement turn into gratitude.
When you fill your cup with what is working, you create more capacity and insight into what you want to achieve. This takes an "if only" attitude and turns it into an "as is" gratitude.
So give it a whirl. There is no better time to start than this week. You'll reap great benefits! You will discover that the benefits become internal as well. The greatest benefits will come from within. So start practicing this art. You can practice it all day long. It will create such a positive shift in your outlook that you might even become addicted to it!
Here are some tips:
• Spend a few moments each day thinking about all the things you are grateful for;
• Start a gratitude journal, and list something each day; and
• Get a gratitude buddy and keep each other accountable.
When you begin to feel anxious and start that emotional panic, it's often because you are looking for gratification somewhere in the future. That's when you need to remind yourself you are already grateful. We all fall prey to the hedonic treadmill that keeps us pursuing gratification in the future. This is the destination disease. It's the idea that, when I finally get there, I'll have it. Ironically this kind of thinking never grasps gratitude. Believe me, I've tried, and it doesn't work.
The art of gratitude is simple, yet the benefits are deeply profound. So what are you grateful for right now – in the present? Think them out loud. Write them down. Tell someone. You will find the benefits start with happiness and over time will mutate into joy.

As another year comes to a screeching halt, I am feeling a bit reflective about lessons I have learned in 2012.
Have you ever asked yourself, "What was I thinking when I decided to homeschool my kids?" I've had my share of those moments this year. They occur primarily when I forget to take my own advice. A long time ago, I decided that developing self-directed learners was the biggest gift I could ever give my children. When I lose my way, it generally has to do with my own insecurities about how much my children "ought to know" versus what they "already know."
My oldest just turned thirteen and has never been to school. Up until recently, I rarely had to remind him to apply himself to his studies. Lately though, it seems he would rather wander around the house contemplating the walls than follow a structured path. Feeling panicky (and again, failing to take my own advice) I would nag him several times a day, asking peevishly if he had started this or completed that.
One day, he looked at me in obvious irritation and said, "Mom, I'll do it, okay? I'll get it done." I decided to trust him and to remember why I homeschool in the first place. It wasn't to re-create school and it wasn't to create a "have to" environment. I'm not enjoying myself when I'm looking over his shoulder and neither is he. I'm giving him the space he feels he needs, and we seem to be getting back into our normal groove.
I also spent an enormous amount of time this year growing and developing a program for homeschooled children that meets once a week. Unlike many homeschool co-operatives, we offer a drop-off solution for homeschool families that provides academic enrichment in core subjects such as math, science, literature, writing, and history. In addition to the administrative tasks involved (facility concerns, website design, and maintenance), I facilitate two 90-minute classes back to back — my lesson planning alone takes several hours per week. While I have found it incredibly rewarding and stimulating, some days I also wonder, "What was I thinking? Is it worth it? Are my kids benefiting enough from our involvement in this program? Am I focusing enough on our own homeschool journey?"
These questions inevitably lead you to a sort of self-reflection that is both healthy and necessary. It allows you to make changes, if necessary, or to continue on the chosen path.
It's great to be a teacher of children other than your own, especially this time of year. You get the sweetest gifts. My youngest student (an 8-year-old girl) shyly presented me with the loveliest gift a couple of weeks ago. It was a handmade pillow that she had crafted and sewn all by herself — adorned with mittens and hearts and a star button.
In those moments when I ask myself, "What have I gotten myself into? Am I crazy?" I look at my pillow and smile.
In those moments, when I wonder if homeschooling works and if it's worth it, I think about the families affected by the horrific, inexplicable tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary and become humbled and thankful that my children are close by my side, each and every day.
In this season, when we are too easily stressed over things that will make no difference and that people will hardly remember this time next year, take just a moment to remember The Why. Why do you do what you do as a homeschool parent? When you decided to homeschool, what was the reason? Is there anything you can do to make it easier? Is your schedule packed and cluttered with non-essentials? Is there just one thing you can eliminate in the coming year?
My challenge to you in the New Year: choose one source of stress in your homeschool life and decide to part ways with it. Decide to do more of something you enjoy. As for me, I'm going to teach one class next semester, not two. And I'm going to enjoy that pillow.

Oyang 77 captain, manager charged in NZ over illegal fish dumping
By Hannah Lynch
May 16 (BusinessDesk) - The skipper and factory manager of the Oyang 77, a fishing vessel part-owned by South Korea's biggest fishing company, will face 13 charges of misreporting and illegal dumping of fish, the Ministry of Primary Industries says.
The skipper faces eight charges, while three have been laid against the factory manager. The two men will appear in court on July 5.
"Commercial fishing relies largely on the honesty of fishers and their understanding that complying with regulations ensures the sustainability of the resource they depend on for their business," said Scott Gallacher, the ministry's deputy director-general.
The operator of the vessel, Southern Storm Fishing, is about 25 percent-owned by Korea's Sajo Oyang Corp and 75 percent by Christchurch-based fish and food company owner Choi Hyun Gwan, according to the Companies Office.
Another vessel owned by Sajo Oyang, the Oyang 75, is separately before the courts on 26 fishing charges.

And i have just been using the 'add to ipod' method of importation. But now, after some 500 songs of usinf this method, im noticing a slow down on my ipo, and some major crashing on most apps. I dont know if it is due to mewseek or not. But i basically want to get all my mewseek music onto my pc and have it placed on my ipod coreectly. But i dont know how. I am aware of pwntunes, but i have used up the trial, and as you know, i am not willing to spen money, as i wasnt when i used a cracked mewseek. I have tried various cracked pwntunes, with no avail. I dont know if its because of my lack of knowledge towards using the app, or if the cracked pwntunes simply doesnt work.
Basically, i am asking for any and all help, and would be appreciate it.
Haters... please dont talk, its a waste of yours and everyones time.
And helpers, please speak aloud.

CHICAGO (AP) Former Gov. George Ryan, who drew international praise when he commuted the sentences of everyone on Illinois' death row, was convicted of racketeering and fraud Monday in a corruption scandal that ended his political career in 2003.
Ryan, 72, sat stone-faced as the verdict was read, and vowed afterward to appeal.
He was convicted of steering state contracts and leases, including a $25 million IBM computer deal, to political insiders while he was Illinois secretary of state in the 1990s and then governor for one term. In return, he got vacations in Jamaica, Cancun and Palm Springs, and gifts ranging from a golf bag to $145,000 in loans to his brother's floundering business.
"I believe this decision today is not in accordance with the kind of public service that I provided to the people of Illinois over 40 years, and needless to say I am disappointed in the outcome," the Republican former governor said.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald called Ryan's actions "a low watermark of public service." Fitzgerald, who also led the Washington investigation of the CIA leak, added: "If they keep stealing, we'll keep chasing them."
The jury in the state's biggest corruption trial in decades found Ryan guilty on all counts, including fraud, lying to the FBI and racketeering conspiracy, which alone could bring 20 years in prison at sentencing Aug. 4.
His co-defendant, Chicago businessman Larry Warner, 67, was convicted of racketeering conspiracy, fraud, attempted extortion, and money laundering.
Prosecutors also want the two men to forfeit the $3 million they say Warner raked in through state business. The judge will rule on that request later.
Ryan was the third former Illinois governor in the past three decades to be convicted of federal felonies. Otto Kerner was found guilty in a racing stock scandal; Dan Walker was convicted of corruption involving bank loans.
"I hope this case begins the end of political prostitution that seems to have been evident in the state of Illinois and begins a resurrection of honest government and services in this state that so many people have demanded," said Robert Grant, the agent in charge of the FBI's Chicago office.
The scandal that led to Ryan's downfall began over a decade ago with a fiery van crash in Wisconsin that killed six children. The 1994 wreck exposed a scheme inside the Illinois secretary of state's office in which truck drivers obtained licenses for bribes.
The probe expanded to other corruption under Ryan. Seventy-nine former state officials, lobbyists, truck drivers and others have been charged. Before Ryan's trial, 74 had been convicted, including Ryan's longtime top aide, Scott Fawell, a star witness at Ryan's trial.
In 2000, Ryan, as governor, declared a moratorium on executions in Illinois after 13 death row inmates were found to have been wrongly convicted. Then, days before he left office in 2003, he emptied out death row, commuting the sentences of all 167 inmates to life in prison. He declared that the state's criminal justice system was "haunted by the demon of error."
Ryan declined to seek a second term after the scandal sent his approval ratings plummeting. He was indicted a year after leaving office.
Even as he faced charges back home, Ryan accepted speaking invitations across the country and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his criticism of the death penalty.
Neither Ryan nor Warner took the stand during their six-month trial.
The government witnesses included businessman Harry Klein, who testified that he entertained Ryan and his family at a luxurious estate in Jamaica every year for a decade. Klein said Ryan always paid him $1,000 a week with checks, but then accepted the $1,000 back in cash.
Jurors said no single factor tipped the balance in favor of conviction.
"It wasn't a smoking gun," said Kevin Rein of Glen Ellyn, a carpenter. He said "the government had a pretty good pile of evidence."
In late March, months of testimony nearly went down the drain when the judge discovered two jurors had failed to mention arrests on their court questionnaires. Rather than declare a mistrial, U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer decided to replace the two jurors with alternates and, over the objection of Ryan's attorneys, ordered the jury to start deliberations over.
The jury had deliberated for 10 days when it announced its guilty verdicts.
Ryan attorney Dan Webb, a former federal prosecutor, zeroed in on the judge's decision to replace the jurors as potential grounds for appeal.

FTC Fires Back at Microsoft, et al. Regarding Google Antitrust Ruling
Jason Mick
January 14, 2013 1:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"We did what we're paid to do and what the law requires", says Chairman in new interview
heavy criticism from Microsoft
Corp. (
), Yelp Inc. (
), and a slew of other online service firms, the
U.S. Federal Trade Commission
's Chairman
Jon Leibowitz
is firing back in a
new interview
Talking Points Memo
(TPM). In the interview, he defends the decision to
reach a
[PDF] with online search and services giant Google Inc. (
) which called for big changes, but allowed Google to avoid a full blown antitrust lawsuit brought by the federal government (which was the approach Microsoft,
et al.
I. FTC Claims That Its Google Ruling Was Fair
Responding to his critics, Chairman Leibowitz comments, "We did what we're paid to do and what the law requires. We went after a company [Google] where the law required us to do so, and forwent bringing a case where the law required us not to bring one."
He points out that the decision was unanimously approved by the FTC's
five commissioners
, including Leibowitz. He remarks, "Under facts we found, all five of us, from liberal Democrat to conservative Republican, agreed that the evidence militated against an antitrust case. The fact that we managed to have both Google and Google's rivals unhappy, in an odd way that's maybe unique to Washington, that puts us in the right place substantively."
U.S. FTC Chairman Jonathan Leibowitz is defending his Commission's settlement with Google against critics like Microsoft. [Image Source: UPI]
He argues that the settlement is significant as it not only pushes Google to change certain search/data-mining practices its critics considered unfair, but it also pushes the company to pursue patent peace in the mobile space. The FTC voted 4-to-1 to adopt a settlement demand that forces Google to pursue arbitration with smartphone rivals, before taking them to court and eating up judicial resources.
Explains Chairman Leibowitz, "We took a pretty meaningful step forward to stop one of the most drastic abuses in patent litigation. [Google] won't be able to engage in patent holdup, where the threat of an injunction is used as a 'Sword of Damocles.'"
He was pleased to note that Google had responded already,
withdrawing two key patent assertions
in its
nearly finished legal battle against Microsoft
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington
. The FTC did allow Google to sue in cases where a rival is
looking to ban its products
(so Google may be able to still pursue action against Apple, Inc. (
)), but the Chairman calls such applications "exceedingly limited defensive uses."
He argues that the FTC's approach is consistent with both Google and its rivals in the smartphone space, commenting, "We don't want them [smartphone makers] to be able to get injunctions, and we prohibit that except in the one-in-a-million hypothetical. If someone makes a FRAND commitment and reneges, we will go after them."
II. Google Still Faces Antitrust Threats
In regards to media commentary that the settlement was a "win" for Google, he responds, "Reporters think of this in some ways as a horse race. [I]t's really about doing the right thing. Perhaps to some extent we helped to build up expectations [by the
length of the probe
], but I also think complainants created great expectations of their own. I think that as time goes on, more and more people will recognize we did justice."
The Chairman also rejected the notion that the tens of millions of dollars that Google
poured into lobbying officials
in the federal government on both sides of the political aisle impacted the Commission's vote. He comments, "My sense is that the lobbying makes the companies feel good and lobbyists feel good. At the end of the day, whether you want to say lobbying had any influence, or canceled itself out because there was lobbying on both sides, if you're going to do what lobbyists want you to do in a regulatory agency, you're not doing your job."
The decisiveness of the ruling (5-0) may be enough to placate the
U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ), but an FTC ruling does not necessarily preclude an antitrust lawsuit by the DOJ. For example, in 1991 the FTC probed Microsoft, in an investigation that wrapped up in 1993 with a deadlock -- 2-2 vote -- effectively closing the investigation. Despite that the DOJ would go on to independently investigate and sue Microsoft in a court battle that was considered a milestone in modern U.S. antitrust enforcement.
The EU says it won't go as easy on Google as the FTC did. [Image Source: AFP]
And meanwhile the EU has indicated it will be
substantially stricter
in its settlement demands from Google.
"Then they pop up and say 'Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!' Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that." -- Newegg Chief Legal Officer Lee Cheng referencing patent trolls

Dottin half century not enough to stop Aussies
MBAI, India, CMC – A fighting half century stand between Deandra Dottin and Shemaine Campbelle failed to pull West Indies women out of a rut as they lost to Australia Women by 135 runs in an official warm-up game of the ICC Women's World Cup at Middle Income Group Ground here yesterday.
Dottin and Campbell led a fight back by compiling 67 runs for the fourth wicket to defy an Australian attack which had crippled a West Indies run chase to surpass a target of 333.
Their valiant effort to repair an innings in disarray as a result of the loss of early wickets were futile as the Caribbean women were bowled out for 198 in 44.3 overs.
Dottin was the key instigator of the Windies temporary recovery top scoring with 52 runs before playing a Renee Chappell off break into the hands of Megan Schutt.
Her 30-ball innings included four fours and five sixes.
The visitors lost their first wicket with just 24 runs on the board and plunged to 71 for four as most of their frontline batters were dismissed cheaply by the 17th over.
Opener June Ogle Thomas was first to depart, bowled by medium pacer Ellyse Perry for nine after hitting her for successive boundaries in the first over. Dottin and Campbelle lifted the West Indies from their shaky 71 for 4 to a promising position of 133 for 5 before Campbelle was caught by wicketkeeper Jodie Fields off Folly Ferling, having contributed 18.
Captain Merissa Aguilleira and Shakera Selman staged spirited late order attempts to maintain the momentum but struggled against the rampaging Aussies.
Aguilleira cracked three fours in a knock of 32 before she was caught going after Schutt while Selman was unbeaten on 29.
Earlier, four top order batters powered to half centuries as the Australians compiled a mammoth 333 for five off 50 overs.
Jess Cameron top scored with 62 before she was stumped by captain and wicketkeeper Aguilleira while Campbelle had Rachael Haynes caught by Selman on 61.
Lisa Sthalekar 59 and Elyse Villani 50 were both forced to retire hurt.

Iraqi security forces have arrested four children who were recruited by al-Qaeda to carry out suicide attacks in and around the northern city of Kirkuk, an army general says.
"Special forces units have arrested an organisation of children consisting of four individuals under the age of 14 who call themselves the Birds of Paradise," General Abdelamir al-Zaidi said on Sunday.
"The group relies on children and is connected to al-Qaeda. It works to recruit children and young people to carry out suicide attacks and to aid the terrorist groups in detonating roadside bombs," he said.
The name of the group likely comes from the traditional Islamic belief that when children die they become birds in paradise.
The children were arrested west of Kirkuk, the main oil hub in northern Iraq that is the subject of a longstanding dispute between Baghdad and the autonomous Kurdish region and has seen several recent attacks.
Zaidi said security forces are still investigating the group and have arrested other suspects, but he declined to give further details because of the secrecy of the operation.
Another Iraqi officer said the existence of the children's unit proves al-Qaeda is losing ground.
"This is a new method and it is the method of someone who is losing the war," the officer said on condition of anonymity.
"Their infrastructure is being destroyed and their leaders are being arrested and killed... They are sending a message that 'we are still here, but we have to rely on every method to carry out our terrorist operations."'
US and Iraqi forces launched a major operation in and around Kirkuk last week after a car bomb exploded next to a bus carrying police through the city, killing 10 policemen and wounding more than 20.

How would you like to see a photo of the 1937 Hindenburg disaster in color? Rather than experiencing the destruction in black and white, how much more powerful would that image be if we could see the intensity of the flames against the night sky ? Well, thanks to the work of an increasingly popular online trend, now you can. And it's not limited to the Hindenburg. Photographic colorizing is illuminating portraits of long-past world leaders, scenes from 1930's US Great Depression, and the ever heart-breaking Thich Quang Duc's self-immolation.
A number of photographers have taken to this challenge, and one company, Dynamichrome, explains the appeal of this change. They write:
Black and white photography can be an artistic choice, but with images taken before the advent of mainstream colour photography, it was usually the only option. As a result, historical photographs are a far less vivid depiction of the past. Skilfully restored and authentically colourised photos allow the viewer to connect with a past era and see details they never noticed before, bringing history to life and drawing attention to images previously unseen in full colour.
The colorizing of popular historical photographs isn't something that is just for the professionals. There is a whole subreddit, History in Color, that features this practice. Obviously, some attempts are better than others. Regardless, when done well, it's a powerful way to revisit history.

Obamaniacs Fret about the Jewish Lobby
Obama's website sure requires a lot of maintenance. Every time someone who hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid sees what they've got up there, they have to take it down. A screen capture of the latest, via Michelle Malkin:
Concern about the nefarious "Jewish lobby" is a preoccupation among Obamaniacs. Meanwhile, Obama has been trying to convince Jews that he doesn't hate their guts like other black supremacists — with predictable help from the leftist media. Not all Jews are so slavishly devoted to moonbattery as to believe him.
On tips from Cheetah and V the K.
Posted by Van Helsing at June 9, 2008 9:25 AM
90+ percent of Jews are going to vote for Obama, no matter what he says or does between now and election day. Jews are attracted to left-wing, "social justice", socialist-communist leaning candidates like iron filings to a magnet. Jews instinctively vote as far left as they possibly can. If offered Lenin, they would vote for him. If offered Stalin, they'd vote for him. The deep irony that the far-left which Jews love and innately strive to offer power to is the most antisemetic force on the planet and a grave threat to Judaism is of no consequence or interest to Jews. If a full-fledged communist with a red star on a cap ran for office, with his entire program being to round up and kill Jews, he would still pick up 50 or 60 % of the Jewish vote. There is something in the Jewish aesthetic which finds the sappy save-the-downtrodden / redeem-the-individual-through-social-control stchik absolutely irresistable, no matter what the implications or cost, to others or to themselves.
I say this as a member of the Tribe.

It is interesting how Christian conservatives have to save suicidal Jews from themselves.
It is hard to argue with that. And it's what makes the whole Islamo-horde's argument that secretive Jews control US policy via AIPAC so incredibly stupid. For the most part, it is not Jews who are standing up firmly for Israel and supportive of taking on costs and risks to help Israel survive (though some percentage of Jews does). It is mainly Christian conservatives. It's guys like Pastor Hagee, sadly and incomprehensibly tossed under the bus by McCain. It is very important for more Jews to recognize the symbiotic relationship involved, and embrace it. But of course, most Jews are Obama-voting latte liberals who would never "get in bed" with the only other group of people on Planet Earth who don't want the state of Israel to be destroyed.

Jews generally do not vote republican for a number of reasons:
1. Jews tend to be intelligent and highly educated.
2. The republican party is the party of Christian fundamentalist whackos. Given the fact that Christians have done their best to annihilate and humiliate jews throughout history, most jews possess an inherent distrust of a party that uses the Bible as a basis for political policy.
3. Jews don't usually go in for empty flag waving and bible thumping. They tend to develop views based on rationlity and logic as opposed to emotion and fear.
4. The repuclican party has historically housed anit-semetic extremists. see joseph mccarthy for one, Pat Buchanan for another. As a general Republican Ulysses Grant attempted to have jews expelled from the south. He was later elected president!
5. Being "underdogs" themselves, Jews tend to vote for a party that supports the minority, the less forunate and the poor. The republican party serves the rich, the privleged and the corporation.
6. Most jews realize that republican support of israel is based only on economic and military interests, and that if Israel lost influence in these areas, republicans would be quick to drop israel like a hot potato. Support for Israel is not based on morality, it's based purely on the money! Jews know this!
7. The ku klux klan was formed by right wing christian fundamentalists from the south, a republican stronghold.
8. Other Christian terrorist organizations such as Christian Identity, Army of God, Aryan Nation, lambs of Christ and Christian Patriots are almost exclusively right wing and hold many of the same political views that most of you do.
Jews don't forget this shit.

1. Anonymous hates Christians.
2. Anonymous doesn't actually know anything about Christians except what he's heard in his Christian-bashing left-wing echo chamber.
3. Anonymous is too much of coward to sign his name to his hate-filled ranting.
Have I got that about right?
Posted by: V the K at June 10, 2008 4:41 AM
Hey Anon idiot, if you're through spitting out brainless talking points, let me make a couple points:
1. The KKK was formed by Southern Democrats, ex- Confederates who were angry over what they saw as injustices committed against them by the North after the Civil War. In fact, in the Klan's early years, they targeted Northern Republicans who had moved to the South almost as much as they targeted blacks. They are definitely NOT Christians. The KKK may claim to be Christian, but their organization is filled with occultic imagery. Furthermore, Christians are taught to show love to their fellow man, and a Christian would NOT burn a cross on someone's lawn, that wouldn't make sense. The same fact applies to the groups you mentioned such as Aryan Nation. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention that Jews, blacks, or other minorities are inferior to whites.
2. Going along a little with the last part of reason #1, most Christians do NOT hate Jews. The Bible refers to the Jews as God's Chosen People. Jesus was a Jew, so was Paul, and so were many other important figures in the Bible. As mega pointed out, conservative Christians have long been among the most outspoken supporters of the nation of Israel.
3. Even if you don't count that section of Obama's website highlighted in the article above, the Democrat Party and liberalism as a whole still tends be crammed with anti- Semites, too. Look at Robert Byrd (Nicknamed "Senator Sheets" for the fact that he is a former Grand Wizard of the KKK, who together with Senator Al Gore Sr., filibustered Congress in the 60s to try and keep Civil Rights legslation from passing), Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson (Who once famously referred to New York City as "Hymietown"), Al Sharpton, Hillary Clinton (Who once referred to an assciate of hers as "You f%%king Jew bastard"), and don't even get me started on all the far left protestors who howl about the evils of "Zionists," which any sane and rational person would know is just another word for "Jews," which they use in a vain attempt to conceal their massive anti- Semitism.
4. The Republican party stands for average, middle class Americans. It strives for racial equality and a genuinely colorblind society, while Democrats push for programs like Affirmative Action, which is all about highlighting differences in race or gender, and giving certain groups preferential treatment over other groups.
5. You say Jews tend to be intelligent and highly educated, yet Chistians apparently aren't? I'd say YOU are the one who has personal issues with prejudice and hatred that need to be addressed.
Posted by: Adam at June 10, 2008 5:07 AM
Saying the KKK is Christian is like nuts who claim Hitler was a Christian. Sure both groups use(abuse) Christian imagery to attract followers in a largely Christian nation but in private they worship Norse Gods and other European Medieval and Dark Age cults of northern Europe.
Posted by: Anonymous at June 10, 2008 5:13 AM
Most Jews in the US are of the "self hating" type; though its more like 75-80%. Its sort of like "white guilt" common among liberals in the US. Gore got 81% in 2000, Kerry got 75% in 2004. My guess is McCain will get at least 30% this time around - mostly because most Jews really dont like blacks all that much. Most of the best Jews have gone to Israel - which is why a tiny nation in a sea of muzzies has been so successful and prosperous. Even Jewish arabs secretly aknowledge that much - they live like kings compares to other arabs.

If Jews tend to develop views based on rationality and logic, as opposed to emotion and fear, then explain Rob Reiner.
How many Jews are there in the entire world? 13 million? 15 million? And half of them live in the States. If they felt as threatened by Christianity as anon is claiming, that wouldn't be the case. I'm not sure anon speaks for Jews to the extent that he thinks he does.

Sometimes, you get a transcribed record for a census and you wonder how the transcriber came up with a completely different name than what it actually was.
For example, I have a transcribed census record with my ancestor's surname spelled Aytes instead of Yates. It might look like a transposed letter error, but then I found an actual census image today that might present another reason for a transcription error: it wasn't one.
Look at that loop in the Y , but the name in the 1840 census record where I found this lists him (correctly) as David Yates. Can you see how this could be misinterpreted by a transcriber though? Heck, they could have thought it said "Gates" too.
None of this is a slam against transcribers or anything. Genealogists owe them much gratitude for the hard work they've done. This just points out (again) the need to used every imaginable spelling combination to find your ancestors.
What's your most memorable "name" story?

All commands you must enter are given in this typeface. The computer's responses are shown in normal this typeface. You should go to a terminal, log in to felix, and follow this handout, step-by-step.
When you run the class setup, you gain access to a set of easy-to-use command scripts for working with GNAT. Once you really become familiar with the compiler, you can start using GNAT's real commands, which are more flexible but require more detailed knowledge. This handout describes only the simplified scripts.
All programs from the Feldman/Koffman book used in CSci 51, and some others, are located in the programs51 directory, to which you gain access when you run the class setup. These programs are filed according to the GNAT file-naming rule, which prefers a program unit MyProg to be stored in a file myprog.adb. You can copy programs from this subdirectory, but can't store anything into it; it belongs to the instructor. We'll see how to copy a program into your current directory, which Unix calls .(yes, it's just a dot). First log in to felix. The CSci 51 setup has created a directory called csci51. Try changing to that directory,
csstud@felix:11: cd csci51
then trying:
csstud@felix:12: cp programs51/hello.adb .
csstud@felix:13: cat hello.adb
WITH Ada.Text_IO; PROCEDURE Hello IS BEGIN -- Hello Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "Hello there. "); Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "We hope you enjoy studying Ada!"); Ada.Text_IO.New_Line; END Hello; csstud@felix:14:
Your next step is to try a compilation.
csstud@felix:14: gcompile hello.adb Compilation of hello.adb started on Tue Jan 14 15:22:46 EST 1997 Compilation ended on Tue Jan 14 15:22:53 EST 1997
If there were compilation errors, a message to that effect appears as well. The compiler produces a "listing file" which gives an "official" record of the compilation. If there were compilation errors, the messages occur interspersed with the lines of Ada.
You can see this file using cat or more; you can also print a hard (paper) copy of it in the usual way. Let's look at the listing file from our compilation:
csstud@felix:15: cat hello.lsb GNAT 3.07 (961007) Copyright 1991-1996 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Compiling: hello.adb (source file time stamp: 1996-01-23 03:03:19) 1. WITH Ada.Text_IO; 2. PROCEDURE Hello IS 3. 4. BEGIN -- Hello 5. 6. Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "Hello there. "); 7. Ada.Text_IO.Put (Item => "We hope you enjoy studying Ada!"); 8. Ada.Text_IO.New_Line; 9. 10. END Hello;
The next step is to link the program. The linker requires a file with an .ali file type.
csstud@felix:16: glink hello.ali Linking of hello.ali started on Tue Jan 14 15:23:11 EST 1997 Linking ended on Tue Jan 14 15:23:15 EST 1997
Finally, we execute the program. While neither GNAT nor Unix requires a particular file type for executables, our scripts give them an .exe file type, and so should you.
csstud@felix:17: gexecute hello.exe Hello there. We hope you enjoy studying Ada!
You can execute a program any number of times without re-compiling.
csstud@felix:18: gexecute hello.exe Hello there. We hope you enjoy studying Ada!
You can use Unix commands to see which program units you've compiled and linked.
csstud@felix:19: ls -l *.ali -rw-r--r-- 1 csstud user 727 Jan 14 15:22 hello.ali csstud@felix:20: ls -l hello.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 csstud user 119556 Jan 14 15:23 hello.exe
Let's try another program. We'll compile, link, and execute it, and then enter some "bad" data (alphabetic instead of integer). Note the exception "traceback" telling you in which line of your program the exception was raised.
csstud@felix:21: gcompile distance.adb Compilation of distance.adb started on Tue Jan 14 15:29:10 EST 1997 gcc: distance.adb: No such file or directory gcc: No input files Compilation ended on Tue Jan 14 15:29:10 EST 1997
Oops! We forgot to copy the program!
csstud@felix:22: cp programs51/distance.adb . csstud@felix:23: gcompile distance.adb Compilation of distance.adb started on Tue Jan 14 15:29:29 EST 1997 Compilation ended on Tue Jan 14 15:29:36 EST 1997 csstud@felix:24: glink distance.ali Linking of distance.ali started on Tue Jan 14 15:29:47 EST 1997 Linking ended on Tue Jan 14 15:29:53 EST 1997 csstud@felix:25: gexecute distance.exe How many hours will you be driving (integer) ? XYZ raised ADA.IO_EXCEPTIONS.DATA_ERROR Trace Back Information Program Name File Name Line ------------ --------- ---- distance distance.adb 22
Oops! We entered XYZ instead of a numerical value! Running the program again with correct data input will give a reasonable answer.
csstud@felix:26: gexecute distance.exe How many hours will you be driving (integer) ? 5 At what average speed (miles per hour, integer) ? 55 You will travel about 275 miles
We require that you submit a "script" of your compilation, link, and test execution(s). The turnin command will allow you to create a transcript of everything you do on the terminal. One you have started turnin, everything that you type or the computer displays, until you type exit, will be copied into your script file. You can then print the file to submit as part of your project. As an example, let's try copying a program hello_name.adb, then compiling, linking, and executing it with the script running.
csstud@felix:27: cp programs51/hello_name.adb . csstud@felix:28: turnin Project name ? just-a-test Turnin started; type exit to leave turnin. Script started, file is just-a-test.turnin script> csstud@felix:29: gcompile hello_name.adb Compilation of hello_name.adb started on Tue Jan 14 15:33:26 EST 1997 Compilation ended on Tue Jan 14 15:33:29 EST 1997 script> csstud@felix:30: glink hello_name.ali Linking of hello_name.ali started on Tue Jan 14 15:33:37 EST 1997 Linking ended on Tue Jan 14 15:33:40 EST 1997 script> csstud@felix:31: gexecute hello_name.exe Enter your first name, exactly 10 letters. Add spaces at the end if it's shorter.> Jennifer Hello Jennifer . We hope you enjoy studying Ada! script> csstud@felix:32: exit Script done, file is just-a-test.turnin csstud@felix:33
The file just-a-test.turnin can be printed out to turn it in, and will remain in your file system until you remove it.
Enjoy CSci 51 and Ada 95 and GNAT!

A Tennessee judge has ordered a baby boy's name to be changed from "Messiah" after deciding it is a title that has "only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ."
NBC station WBIR reported that the parents of the 7-month-old went to a child support hearing in Cocke County Chancery Court because they could not agree on his surname.
However, Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew decided Thursday that the baby, Messiah DeShawn Martin, should be renamed "Martin DeShawn McCullough."
"The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," Ballew said, according to WBIR-TV.
She said she made the decision in the best interests of the child.
Seven-month-old Martin DeShawn McCullough is held by his mom Jaleesa Martin after a judge ruled he could not be called "Messiah."
"It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is," Ballew said.
On Sunday, Jaleesa Martin, the baby's mother, told the station that she planned to appeal the decision.

- Less time to plan means less time to stress. I am so glad this will all be over with soon! I'm very excited for the party, but dang I'm glad that it will all be over soon and we can start being an old married couple. He's glad it will all be over soon and he can focus on bar prep without my bugging him to get all his RSVPs figured out. (They are all pretty much figured out now, but last week I was pestering him a ton.)
- We're already focusing on "the big stuff." We found out right before Christmas that it's a girl, and just before NYE I started being able to feel her kicking. I held his hand over my belly and he felt it too. Very exciting. We are discussing baby plans (what strict parents we'll be) way more often than wedding plans, and I've been procrastinating on figuring out my hair and jewelry by reading What to Expect and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth. As has been said time and time again on APW – at the end of the wedding day, we'll be married, and that's what matters.
The biggest challenge in the wedding planning process has been learning to deal with family money and communication. Part of our family is paying for a good chunk of the wedding, and well, they are as annoying as they are lovable. It is good that I'm basically being forced to learn how to communicate with them, crash course style, but it still sucks. If I had to do this all over again, I would have said thanks but no thanks, stuck with my original budget and spending plan, and told our family to put the money away for the kid's college fund.
