Bio and Links
Born and raised in Summerville Georgia, maiden name Padgett, I married and moved to Rome in 2006. In 2012 we bought a house in my hometown, a mile from my parents. My husband and I have two furbabies, Fancy and Vinnie, and one furangel, Socks, who belonged to my aunt before she passed away. I am a homemaker now, "medically retired" from the workforce due to Fibromyalgia and a few other problems.
I always loved looking at old tombstones, and that developed into a general love of cemeteries.
I believe everyone deserves to be remembered, and I get especially sad seeing memorials that have no flowers. Those are the people I search out, so I can let them know that they aren't forgotten.
Thanks to everyone who leaves a remembrance on my memorials. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.
Please also visit the pages I have sponsored, to let the family and friends know that their loved ones are remembered and honored.
On May 11, 2017, my sister and I lost our mama after a brief battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. Thank you to anyone who stops by and leaves a token for her. Her memorial ID is 179380966
On June 26, 2017 I became a mom again, someone put a kitten out in the wee hours and of course, I took her in. Her name is Mysti and she is adorable.
October 30, 2016
It's starting to seem like it's always October when I add things here! ~grin~ I am currently searching out memorials of murder victims, and leaving tokens for them, again, usually with no message. If I have left a token on your loved one's memorial, please know one thing: I am not doing this quickly or aimlessly. I am looking up each person's name, reading their story if I can find it, and saying a prayer for you, the families they left behind. If my token offends you, please send me a message and I will remove it. All tokens I leave are done with the utmost respect.
Oct. 20, 2012: Thank you to everyone who has left positive messages for me about leaving tokens for people I don't know. I'm the kind of person who cries over obviously forgotten graves, I can't afford to place flowers on the real graves that break my heart, so I try to make up for it by leaving tokens here. I appreciate all the encouragement, and apologize for not answering everyone directly. May God shine blessings down upon you all!
I have had people e-mail me a few times asking me to remove tokens I have left for their loved ones, because they didn't want me to increase my 'count' at their expense. If I've left a flower for someone you loved, please take a moment to read this.
I DO NOT keep count, Find-a-Grave does that. If you think that way, look how long I've been a member, look how many tokens I've left, and do the math. I'm not able to be on here very often but when I do, I try to send a silent message to at least one person that they were acknowledged that day, even if by a stranger.
If I left something, it's because you left something on one of my memorials, and I'm reciprocating; because I know someone who knew your loved one, and am leaving a remembrance; or - in the case of the people who have written to me - I try to leave flowers for people who have none. It hurts my heart to see a grave with no flowers in life, and I hate the thought of someone having a memorial on here but not being remembered any other way.
I usually don't leave a message with tokens, because I don't really know what to say, and because I don't want to sound trite. The saying is "A picture is worth a thousand words" and another, "It's the thought that counts."

If Alwin Maryland Padgett is your ancestor, then we are likely cousins. I am the great granddaughter of his son, Clem Emmett Padgett. Do you know anything about the grave of Lloyd Alvin Eberhart? He died in infancy in Levelland in 1951. He is the great grandson of Alwin and grandson of Clem. He is the son of Cecil and Fae Eberhart. Which child of Alwin are you a descendant of if any?

Thank You
I am a new member here but have visited his site several times looking up old family member Grave sites. I just wanted to say thank you for the the picture you left on the page for my Father SFC Russell R Brunni who is buried with my mother Syble Jane in Summerville Ga. We grew up in Plainville Ga. after my father retired from the Army. He was my hero and several of my brothers and a sister followed in his footsteps and joined the Military, I was medically retired from the Army in 2013 after 30 years. I just want to say it touched my heart when I seen the picture that you left on his page. We still have family in the Rome area and I come to Rome often from my home in Piedmont Al. and if possible I would love to thank you in person sometime when I come to Rome.
Again thank you very much, I shared your picture with my sister and she was also touched by your heartfelt actions.
Take care.

RE: Pleasant Grove Baptist Church
Kathy, I am not familiar with the area. I live in Florida. I went to the cemetery with my cousin who lives in Menlo and if I recall she said it was in Gore. I looked it up online and the address is 900 Farmersville Rd. The GPS is Latitude: 34.4600873
Longitude: -85.2413421.
The little white house right across the street from the church is where our ancestors (Phillips) lived.

Kathy, when I transferred the memorial to you I lost the option to remove it. There is no place for me to click to remove it. You will have to contact F-A-G and have it removed.

VIA had some bad chipsets, but they had some good ones as well (the motherboard I had before that was I think a KT400 but it fell victim to the bad caps issue, which of course had nothing to do with VIA but probably didn't help their reputation in that era)MSI-branded KT400A and a XP2800 Barton here. Runs fine on the occasions I boot it up.

I find it interesting that in this world of tablets and netbooks that the design wins keep landing on Arm, Atom, and in some cases Tegra. I don't keep up with that niche of the market well enough to speculate why the Nano gets left out.
I for one am a bit sad that they did not do much with their Envy acquisition to give Creative some real competition.

Descendants of Anthony and Julia (Leffingwell) Fox
These images are mostly from the album of my grandmother, Maude (Fox) Bingham, daughter of George Washington and Clara Jane (Mitchell) Fox. To see a full-size image, click on the "thumbnail." To copy or save an image, right click and select "save picture as." Please drop me a line to tell what you know about these people and/or to identify unknown individuals.
In July 2001, Joyce (Hoover) Silva, daughter of Ruth (Fox) Hoover supplied me with additional images (presumably from her mother's album), which I have added to this portfolio (these additional images are identified as H01 . . . etc.)
"GW Fox's first school" (F29)
"GW Fox, Teacher" (detail from F29) (F30)
"Harry Fox" (detail from F29) (F31)
"Fox House, Boulder, Montana." Inscribed: "Fox family - Esther, Grandpa George Fox, Clara Jane, Ethel, ---, Maude, Lucile" (F14)
"Fox House, Boulder." Detail from F14. (F15)

This image from my mother's album was identified by my mother as a daughter of Harry Fox, with her children. She could not remember the daughter's name or the names of the children. Am inclined to think the daughter is Alice (see F01 and F02), but can't be certain. (F23)
"Harry's kids": small portrait (2x4) from the Prater Studio Pocatello, with this inscription on back of folder: "Alice and Mildred Fox - Harry's daughters." (F24)
"Fox daughters." Postcard format. Inscription: "Ethel Fox - coat; Maude Fox - dark dress; Ruth -curls." Stamp block: "AZO" Is the fellow Harry? Who is the girl in the light dress and the baby in the rocker? Could they be Harry's wife Mabel and daughter, Alice? (F13)
"Ethel and Maud" (H06)
"Maud and Ethel Fox" (F35)
Maud Fox (H08)
"Maude Fox, grad. at Boulder." "H. S. graduating class, 1906, Boulder, Montana." [Looks more like eighth graders to me. I wonder if those three boys knew how lucky they were to be attending school with five truly beautiful women (girls)?] (F33)

UCCX 8.5.1 - Agent Email not sending
- Bronze, 100 points or more
Hi guys,
I'm working on a UCCX 8.5.1 install and I've configured agent email and am receiving emails fine. However, when I reply to emails from CAD the emails are never getting to their destination. In CSD the emails show as sent. I can telnet to the SMTP server on the SMTP port and can send an email using telnet commands fine from the UCCX server subnet so that all looks ok. The Exchange 2007 admin has assured me that the SMTP handler is configured as per the CAD install guide.
There is a firewall between the UCCX and the Exchange server and port 25 is open between them however, port 25 isn't open from the desktops to the Exchange server. From my understanding though it's the EEM service on the UCCX server that's doing the sending isn't it? I can't seem to see very much in the logs. The CAD logs seem to say the email is sent. The debug logs from the EEM service don't really seem to show a great deal from what I can make of them when the agent replies to the email.
Any thoughts?

Viva Voce in-studio, 7-8-09
Recording engineer: Steven Kray, with technical assistance from Bill St. James
Recently expanded to a quartet, the Portland band led by Kevin and Anita Robinson play songs for us from their fifth full-length, this year's Rose City. They talk about the difference adding two new bandmates has made, the homage of sorts they pay to thier adopted hometown on the new album's title track, and the experience of playing double duty these days fronting Viva Voce and Blue Giant. Look for a vinyl release of Rose City in September on Jealous Butcher, as well as Viva Voce's set at Berbati's Sept. 18th as part of Musicfest NW.

Dear Customer:
The City-Parish bills two Service Fees each month to
customers within East Baton Rouge Parish. The Sewer User Fee is billed
to all commercial and residential customers connected to the sewer system and
the Solid Waste User Fee is billed to all residential customers in the Parish.
The Sewer User Fee has been in effect since July 1985, and is
governed by City-Parish Ordinance 12647. This fee
is determined by your average water consumption. For new residential customers,
the Sewer User Fee is based on the average water consumption of 11.5 CCF. Adjustments are made after three full months of water consumption is
available. A credit is issued to customers with water consumption below
the average and the monthly Sewer User Fee is adjusted.
The Solid Waste Fee has been in effect
since January 1991, and is governed by City-Parish
16101. This fee helps to defray the expenses of curbside collection and
disposal of garbage, trash, and/or recyclable materials. Residences are billed a flat fee
each month. Some multi-family units are billed as individual units for curbside pick-up or
for garbage bin service. One responsible party may be billed for bin service at the option
of the owner.
For your convenience, if you are a
customer of Baton Rouge Water Company or Parish Water Company, your bills (sewer/solid waste and water) will be combined on one bill form.
Payment for both can be made with one check and returned in the envelope provided.
Garbage, trash, and recyclables should be at curbside for pick-up between 5:00 a.m.
and 8:00 p.m. on your scheduled days. As part of the new automated
service, all garbage carts are assigned a permanent address. These carts cannot
be removed from the assigned address. If you do not have a garbage cart at
your new address, please call (225) 389-3090 to request a cart. An additional
cart may be purchased for $60.00.
Please contact the Service Fee
Business Office at (225) 389-5378 for all billing inquiries or
to request a review of your account.

A brother who has campaigned for a true account of his sister's death 12 years ago has spoken of his experience.
Bernie Bloom, 64, has described his search for justice for his sister as "traumatising" and "heartbreaking."
Carmel Bloom, 54, who lived in Snakes Lane East, Woodford Green, died during a routine operation in a Bupa hospital in Roding Lane South, in Clayhall, in 2002, which has since been taken over by Spire Healthcare and is now known as Spire Roding Hospital.
There were inquests in 2003 and 2005, but Mr Bloom was informed by the Attorney General's office on Wednesday he has been given consent to apply for a third inquest.
the consent was given because documents obtained from London Ambulance Service, which could undermine the previous inquest's narrative verdict, will now be available to the inquiry.
Mr Bloom of High Road, Chigwell, who runs his own business selling Mercedes vehicles, said he was fortunate to be in the position to be able to afford his fight.
He said: "I haven't had a life for the last 12 years, I've just been existing.
My father has died and my mother passed away last month, so neither of them has seen justice for my sister."
On receiving the consent to apply for a new inquest into his sister's death he said: "There was a sense is elation because it's something you have fought for and given a lot of time to.
"There is also a sense of desperation though, at having to go through all the trauma and heartbreak of the case again."

Does your sample contain proteins of interest that are <20 kDa? Please download a protocol on how to detect synthetic peptides using SDS-PAGE.
Shown is the resolution of cyanogen bromide fragments of myoglobin by (a) Tricine–SDS-PAGE and (b) Laemmli–SDS-PAGE using 10% T, 3% C gels.
Tricine-SDS-PAGE is commonly used to separate proteins in the mass range of 1-100 kDa. It is the preferred electrophoretic system for the resolution of proteins smaller than 30 kDa.
It is indeed very difficult to see the small peptide by SDS-PAGE. Tris-tricine gel will give you a better resolution. If you just want to detect the peptide, Mass Spec is still the best way to confirm the peptide identity.
Small peptide binds less Coomassie brilliant blue than larger protein. Thus smaller peptides are harder to detect by coomassie staining or silver staining. If you really want to see your peptide on the gel, you can try to load more samples. Changing the gel percentage won't help much unless you think your peptide migrated out of the gel. You can increase the percentage of cross linker in the regular 17% gel. In addition increase the pH of your resolving gel to 9.5 as compared to your regular 8.8. Plus, the addition of urea (4-8M) helps sharpen bands.
If you are going to use western, which is a way more sensitive detection method, please use Western instead of the gel staining. However the peptide may simply pass through the membrane. If you repeat the experiment, try to put two pieces of membrane and shorter time of transfer (less than 1 hour at 200 mA). 0.2um pore could be enough. You can get smaller pore but that shouldn't be necessary. You may want to try semi-dry transfer for 15-20 minutes at the recommended current density (mA/cm2) for the apparatus. A short 15 min transfer time works for most of the small peptides.
If you can plan ahead and synthesize a control small peptide labeled with biotin, you can monitor the transfer process and its ability to bind the membrane with streptavidin-conjugated HRP.
Please download this protocol for Tricine-SDS-PAGE, which includes efficient methods for Coomassie blue staining, silver staining, and electroblotting.
Download the Protocol
Peptide content is not an indication of peptide purity; these are two measurements. Purity is determined by HPLC and indicates the presence/absence of contaminating peptides with undesired sequences. Net peptide content only gives information on the percent of total peptide versus total non-peptide components independently of the presence of multiple peptides. Net peptide content is accurately found by performing amino acid analysis or UV spectrophotometry.
It is difficult to determine the actual peptide concentration based on the weight of the lyophilized peptide. Lyophilized peptides may contain 10-70% water and salts by weight. More hydrophilic peptides generally contain more bound water and salts compared to hydrophobic peptides.
If the peptide has a chromophore in the sequence (W or Y residues), peptide concentration can be conveniently determined based on the extinction coefficient of these residues.
The following steps can be used for the calculations:

The Early Bird Weekly
The Early Bird Weekly • We have fifteen unique lodging options available at The Mast Farm Inn; Seven farmhouse rooms, and eight historical cottages & rustic cabins. We have set aside 5 special two-night packages for each week of the year; for any lodging reservations, at any time, without any blackout dates or exclusions, other than for the month of October, or for dates falling within 5 days of a national holiday. That's 5 options, times 47 weeks or 235 special packages a year. Relax, Rejuvenate, and Refresh. Save Big, Bigger, and Biggest.
Here's how it works. Be the first to call in to reserve any one of our 15 lodging options for any given time frame, and if the 5 "Early Bird Weekly" packages are not already sold out for that week, you're on, and you receive a 1/3 reduction off your total lodging bill. You can reserve as far in advance as four months, or as late as three days prior to the date of arrival. But obviously the longer you wait to book, the lower your chances of any of the 5 packages, or any of the rooms, cottages or cabins being left available for the time frame you want. It may sound complicated but it's real easy… Call 828.963.5857 and request information on the "The Early Bird Weekly Specials".
"The Early Bird Weekly Specials" are available exclusively to clients on our Constant Contact Registry, or friends who follow us on Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ or Twitter so they can enjoy the Western North Carolina High Country at heart warming prices. This rate cannot be combined with other special offers, group reservations, weddings, promotions, gift certificates or gift packages which already benefit from special pricing, conditions and terms. And again to state the obvious, this rate cannot be applied to reservations already made, you must request the Early Bird Weekly and rate at the time you make your reservation as these are available in limited weekly quantities.
These specials are not available or bookable online, or via email, so you gotta do it "the old-fashioned way", by speaking with a real human being person. OMG. Call 828.963.5857, and ask Danielle, Lorraine, Carrie or Rebecca about "The Early Bird Weekly Specials" at early riser prices. You'll be glad you did. Save Big, Big, Big. Call 828.963.5857

Live: Sudan, an ironic sidelight
Yesterday, the Episcopal Church of Sudan urged the Episcopal Church to suspend all litigation against breakaway churches attempting to leave the denomination but maintain possession of the parish property. Their call has an ironic twist, as is evident in the latest newsletter of the American Friends of the Episcopal Church of Sudan. (See pages 10-11.)
In brief, the Episcopal Church of Sudan lost control of its guesthouse to the Reformed Episcopal Church of the Sudan. The RECS said that it broke from the ECS because the ECS condoned homosexuality. The guesthouse was then sold to a Sudanese corporation. The Episcopal Church of Sudan sued. In March, it won. An Episcopal church in Virginia, and members of American Friends of the Church of Sudan helped pay for the lawsuit.
One Response to "Live: Sudan, an ironic sidelight"
Wow. Excellent work, Jim.
And conservatives accuse progressives of "picking and choosing"!
I really don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Think you know advertising? Think again. The social web is challenging all conventions, from who creates the content to how we define media.
A special report from the Search Engine Strategies conference, December 4-7, 2006, Chicago, Illinois
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, advertising was defined by Merriam-Webster as follows: "To call public attention to, especially by emphasizing desirable qualities so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize." The rise of the social web, however, has created a new advertising order where the goal is to partner with the customer so he or she may interact with, or call public attention to, your product or service. This was the vanguard topic of the well-attended SES Chicago session "Advertising in Social Media." Rebecca Lieb moderated as four panelists provided pointers on how best to promote a brand within this new world order.
Gary Stein, Director of Strategy for Ammo Marketing supports a new marketer-consumer balance. "Consumers are won when you meet them as equals." While many firms are bewildered by the amount of user-generated content that either supports or vetoes a brand, Stein applauds efforts to partner with customers, "so that they may partner with you."
"Why must we partner with customers?" a stodgy, old ad man might ask. For Marc Schiller, CEO of Electric Artists, the answer is clear. "What has changed since the Internet bubble in 2000? It became a lot more social." Today, marketers should focus less on connecting with customers, and more on connecting customers with other customers.
This sentiment wais reiterated by Bill Flitter, Vice President, Marketing, of Pheedo, who described interactive marketing as "tell us what you think of what we tell you," and social media as "tell each other." Flitter's firm has had success with this model, most notably by orchestrating the strategic product placement of Citrix's GoToMeeting conferencing service in a popular 3-hour live podcast. The placement was clearly sponsored, and included a live demo, a co-branded landing page, and an opportunity to win a free license. It was a wild success.
As a bonus, Flitter noted that "Social media campaigns keep on giving." In the case of GoToMeeting, the landing page continued to experience high search engine visibility for the brand's top keywords and that there were over 800 mentions of the campaign in the blogosphere. "Ultimately, these social media marketing techniques dramatically outperformed other online advertising vehicles."
Schiller, on the other hand is one of the first to place products in Second Life, the virtual world with over 1.6 million inhabitants and a mission to make the place better than real life. By creating an avatar, residents can network, share ideas and sometimes make a living within the immersive environment. While there is no direct ROI for marketers in Second Life, branding and PR opportunities abound.
This year Schiller's client, Starwood, became the first company to build a prototype of a future real life hotel in Second Life. The effort created an opportunity for Starwood to solicit immediate feedback on the concept and design with minimal effort. In real life, the effort was supported by a blog to track the "build" process. While the concept might seem too futuristic for some, Starwood is not alone. Scion has released virtual cars in Second Life and Major League Baseball simulcast the Home Run Derby in Second Life.
Clearly, all the rules are being broken. Henry Copeland, founder of BlogAds, considers this a very good thing. If it were up to him, IAB standards would disappear today. For Copeland, good ads are ads that mimic the social nature of the web. By offering hyperlinks within the ad to other rich conversations, the conversation will ultimately turn towards the brand and the ad itself. To prove his point, he unveiled a series of blog ads that would not be considered aesthetically appealing by traditional standards, but experienced high return.
After a flurry of audience questions, Copeland summed it up best by serving up a question of his own to the audience: "What is advertising anymore?" For curious ad executives, the answer is likely being discussed right now on the social web.

Girl Talk: My Bikini Waxer Suggested I Get Liposuction
I am a hairy person. Think of the hairiest person you know, then think hairier. Think "Harry and the Hendersons" hairy. Anytime I am within a tongue depressor's distance of an aesthetician, they find something new to wax. (This is how I learned the hard way that upper-lip waxing is not something you should agree to do lightly.) I'm super laid-back in the vanity department, so I am pretty used to waxers offering — nay, begging — to rip hot wax off my eyebrows, my upper lip, my arms, my legs and my lady parts. What I am not used to, however, is the suggestion that I fly to Colombia to get liposuction.
Randomly, like, three months ago, a bunch of blue, cat scratch-shaped stripes appeared on my inner thigh. Naturally, I first assumed it was tiny worms eking their way through my bloodstream and trying to break through via my skin. Then I realized they were probably vericose veins or at the very least, something else blood-related. Whatever they were, at least they were concealed on my inner thigh and not splayed across my mug.
Then I went for a bikini waxing as a surprise for my boyfriend. Technically, I think it was called a "betweenie"-waxing because she sculpted the hair on my ladybits into the shape of a landing strip, like a topiary. But that is neither here nor there. My point is, I was lying there on my back, legs cocked to either side, thighs up. I felt very exposed and compelled to say something to the woman attending to my crotch. Anything. "I have varicose veins," I lamented, poking my weird blue stripes.
"That's not varicose veins," she replied. "It's fat."
"Really?" I said. "I thought fat was supposed to look like cottage cheese."
She shook her head. "You can get that taken out with liposuction. It's easy."
"Oh no," I said, chuckling. "I wouldn't get liposuction." I considered telling her I'm pretty much completely against cosmetic surgery, then decided against it. I'm tired of blathering about my personal choices to the women I pay to prettify my pudenda. "I'm a writer. Lipo is out of my price range," I told her. (Which is also true.)
"Oh, you can go to Colombia! It's inexpensive! I have a friend who did it for $7,000."
Seven thousand dollars is inexpensive? Also, flying to another country for "cheaper" plastic surgery? That sounds like the plot line of a "Real Housewives" episode. Like, something one of the dumber Housewives would do. But I kept my mouth shut. "No, no, no," I demurred. "That's definitely out of my price range for beauty treatments! Bliss Spa is my idea of a treat." She dropped the liposuction talk after that, and I, of course, texted all my friends as soon as I limped off the waxing table. Everyone agreed that while I need to cut back on the Frappucinos, getting liposuction on my inner thigh is rather extreme.
I know that aestheticians are trained to up-sell you. I'd paid for all kinds of extra treatments — a lactic peel with a facial, for example — that I didn't walk in the door looking to purchase. Pretty much every time I've gotten the fuzz on my upper lip waxed, it is because an enterprising waxer shamed me into doing so. ("I could do this right here, too," they usually say, making an upside down U-shape underneath my nose. Oh my God I have a mustache, I cringe.) I also know they probably think they're being helpful. Still, I can't help but think it's rude the way that most of them suggest these extra services that I supposedly need. If I'm not seeking help for the "problem" myself, it's because it's not a problem for me!
I don't know about places outside of New York City, but here we have employees for hair salons that will approach you on the street, ask about your hair, and try to wrangle you into making an appointment. It used to happen to me a million times when I was at NYU because there are tons of students there who, presumably, fall for their hard sell. After the 20th time of being jolted out of my daydream by a stranger saying, "Hey, can I ask you about your hair?" I started responding to them, "I like the way my hair looks, thanks."
For the rest of my life, I will probably get suggestions on body parts to wax and — I can't believe I'm saying this — places to suck fat out of, considering our culture is going through a moment right now where hairlessness is stylish and "imperfections" are out. In fact, I expect it to worsen with age and when wrinkles and crow's feet settle into my face. Alas, Botox and Juvaderm are not for me. It's time to think of some snappy comebacks.

A RISHTON author has spoken of her delight after publishing her first book.
Married mum-of-three Hazel Robinson described her romance novel, Something Missing, as a 'dream come true'.
She said: "It was one of the those things I've always wanted to do, and when it came true it was a dream come true.
"I am addicted to books and got friendly with an author who encouraged me to have a go myself.
"I started writing a year ago and approached Little Bird publishers who have now printed my debut novel.
"I am working on the sequel now."
The 30-year-old, who lives in Burton Street, said her book focuses on orphan and product of the care system, Susan, who returns to her childhood home in Winchelsea.
Alongside her childhood friend, Max, the first boy she ever kissed, Susan attempts to find the path she believes her life should have taken.
The story was an idea that has been firmly rooted in Hazel's head for years, but it was only when she gave birth to her youngest child, Casey-James, four, that she became inspired to write.
Her road to writing started with a love for paranormal romance novels, and after finding a passion for tragic romance she set out on the mission to share her own story.
She said: "I've always had a passion for reading but over the last several years it has become an obsession.
"A few months ago, I decided to put fingers to keys to keyboard – or pen to paper – and write Something Missing, a story I've had hidden away in the back of my mind for a long time."
Hazel said her husband James, 35, and her other children, Damien, 11, and Emma, eight, were 'proud' of her achievements, with Emma also becoming inspired to pick up a pen and start writing.
Something Missing can be bought online in either paperback form or for the Kindle at the website www.amazon.com.

Tokyo (AFP) April 12, 2011
The economic impact of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan is worse than previously thought, a Japanese minister was quoted as saying Tuesday.
Economy and fiscal policy minister Kaoru Yosano said the ripples of the disaster that struck the country last month would be felt widely.
"The blow to the economy is bigger than initially thought," Yosano said, the Nikkei business daily reported.
The damage "is wide-ranging. (The tsunami) hit the region that has sophisticated manufacturing as well as the primary industries. I think the blow to the economy is larger than our original expectations," Yosano said.
The March 11 disaster has plunged Japan into its worst crisis since World War II, unleashing a tsunami that wiped out towns along the northeast coast to leave more than 27,000 dead or missing and triggering a nuclear crisis.
With infrastructure ravaged, key supply chains have been broken and power shortages have crippled production for Japan's biggest companies, such as Sony, Toyota and Honda.
Output overseas has also been compromised, with a shortage of Japanese components affecting global markets.
Many see Japan sliding into a temporary recession as a result of the impact of the disasters. The Bank of Japan's Tankan survey last week showed Japanese business confidence in the outlook for the next three months had plunged.
Japan has said the cost of rebuilding could be as much as 25 trillion yen ($295 billion).
The estimate does not include the potential cost of contamination of the food and water supply from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The monster wave knocked out reactor cooling systems at the plant north of Tokyo, causing explosions and the release of radiation.
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20-kilometre (12-mile) radius around the plant amid a contamination scare that has led to restrictions on farm produce and overseas bans on the import of Japanese goods.
Japan upgraded its nuclear emergency to a maximum seven on an international scale of atomic crises on Tuesday, putting it on par with the Chernobyl disaster, and making it a "major accident" with "widespread health and environmental effects".
Tokyo stocks slid 1.69 percent Tuesday on concerns for the economy.
Yosano's comments came a day after the International Monetary Fund lowered its 2011 growth forecast for Japan, citing "large uncertainties" hanging over the world's third-biggest economy a month after the huge earthquake.
A mammoth rebuilding task will be required, but Japan faces a huge challenge in financing it without expanding a public debt that is already the industrialised world's biggest at around 200 percent of GDP.
Ratings agency Standard & Poor's in January cut Japan's credit rating for the first time since 2002, and in February Moody's lowered its outlook for Japan's sovereign debt to "negative".

Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement in response to the news that the private sector added 57,000 jobs in June:
"I hope the news that our economy is not creating jobs at an acceptable rate will cause Republicans to start taking job creation seriously. So far this year, Republicans have derailed every common-sesnse, bipartisan jobs bill we have brought to the floor. Democrats will continue to fight to put Americans back to work and we hope Republicans will join us.
"Today's news also reminds us that we need to reduce the deficit in a way that will not dampen job creation. That means taking a balanced approach in which millionaires and billionaires contribute to deficit reduction. Most of all, we need to make sure we avoid the economic catastrophe that would result from letting the United States fail to pay its bills for the first time in our history. This would cause the markets to plummet and harm the economy as Americans see their savings and retirement funds depleted. That is something the middle class cannot afford."

Justin Toole began Saturday's minor league game as the starting right fielder.
By the end of the game, Toole had played all nine positions for the Carolina Mudcats, the Class A advanced affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.
"My manager ... came up to me at the beginning of the year and asked me where I could play. I told him, 'Anywhere,' and he came up to me later and said I'd play all nine positions later this year," Toole said. "I kind of laughed [at the time], but as the season was winding down, he picked tonight and we ran with it."
The biggest challenge Toole faced came in the eighth inning when he was the catcher.
"Definitely one of the ones I hadn't played would be catching," Toole said. "I told (reliever Rob) Nixon if there's anything you don't like, just shake it off, no problem. He and I seemed to be on the same page, though; he struck out a couple."
Toole closed the game out as a pitcher. He allowed two runs but struck out two batters.
"(Pitching) definitely was something I was excited about," he said. "I was never a guy that threw very hard, so I was never recruited as a pitcher, but it's something I've always enjoyed. To get that opportunity in a situation like this was a dream come true.
"I think if you would have asked me at the beginning of the game I could end with two strikeouts, I would've taken it. That was a good way to end it."
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

I want to Talk about the Millers, not the TV sitcom, but Lainie and Dick Miller, the Toluca Lake residents who are long time friends, and professional colleagues. (They also love Sheila Kuehl; our choice for this district's new L.A. County Supervisor.)
In early 1960, I was in Edinburgh with the "Billy Barnes Revue." It was just after filming Little Shop of Horrors, the two-day wonder, where I first met Dick Miller. Dick played the customer who ate the flowers. His previous Roger Corman film, Bucket of Blood, in which he played a crazed nebbish, was playing at the Royal Scottish Historical Society. I had to attend! That movie also starred Burt Convey (fellow cast member in the BB Revue), and Tony Carbone (a fellow LACC drama department star). It made a lasting impression … and so did Dick Miller. In passing decades he played my husband in Get Crazy and both Gremlins films. I met his wife Lainie on the New York Gremlins 2 set, where we hunkered in a trailer and ate free lox. What better bonding experience?
Fast forward. Dick Miller has never stopped working, and has become a good luck charm for directors. And now, there is a feature length documentary ready for its big opening called, "THAT GUY DICK MILLER." Director Elijah Drenner just announced the film is finally a reality and is having its International Premiere at the 2014 South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin this March. Lainie (a Producer along with Drenner), and Dick will be returning to Austin for the first time since PIRANHA in 1978 (Historical tid-bit).
I'm so proud of these two! I'm remembering the renewal of their vows, and how they go swing dancing (they danced at my birthday party in my driveway).
Dick's career, spanning six decades, began in the '50s as a starving writer, then made the switch to starving actor.
"That Guy Dick Miller" brings you the true story of a real reel actor who has worked for some of the biggest Directors (i.e. Roger Corman, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, Jonathan Kaplan, Ernest Dickerson, and Martin Scorsese). He has shared the screen with Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Ramones, and Julianna Margulies, just to name a few. Lainie tells me, "This piece is loaded with clips and interviews interwoven to tell the story of Dick's leap from obscurity to genre icon. Last but not least, most especially for his fans worldwide, is his personal story, including his family, his private footage, written works, and artistry. In an underlying sense, it also includes the love story of Dick and Lainie Miller. Once you have seen 'That Guy Dick Miller' you'll say to yourself: Sure, I remember That Guy, That Guy's Dick Miller."
I think she likes him. I know I do.
SHEILA KUEHL continued.
Sheila is making news: "Sheila Kuehl is doing something different as she campaigns for a seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. As well as telling voters about herself, Kuehl is trying to teach them about the office."
(I'm telling you, hit the Internet and learn. I just read her explanation of Mental Health opportunities that we should all know!) "On the Kuehl for Supervisor website this former California legislator is writing a series of essays she is calling 'LA County 101,' explaining aspects of the powerful but little-understood county government. The fifth and latest essay is about the county Department of Health. Earlier ones discussed the basics of the county and its importance in implementing state and federal policies; the general history of the county, and the birth of Hollywood and the fights over water. I want people to understand how important it is that they vote," said Sheila, at a visit to the LA News Group.
That Guy Dick Miller knows it's important to vote? Thanks to Sheila Kuehl, we can all understand why. June Election, don't think it's not a big deal …
We'll Talk.

Few would see anything odd about being dissatisfied with a cellphone's low-quality snapshots. Rightly so: digicams are a cornerstone of the consumer electronics business.
The Peek, a simple handset that looks like a cellphone but does nothing but email, makes a similar argument for cheap, on-the-go messaging.
"It's made to be an easy way to do mobile email," said Peek CEO Amol Sarva. "That's the problem it solves."
A co-founder of Virgin Mobile, Sarva said that Peek deals with something more of us use, more of the time, than almost anything else we do with computers: "Everyone does email, so everyone should have something that does email with them."
Geeks can be forgiven if the pitch doesn't impress them. But owners of BlackBerries and iPhones aren't the target market. Amol's aim isn't to replace high-end handsets, but to get a decent email client into the pockets of people who don't want to slap a brick-like smartphone against their temples--or, indeed, those who don't like phones to begin with.
Most small mobiles can't handle email well, if at all. Moreover, not everyone wants to pay a thousand dollars a year or more, locked into a long-term service agreement. The Peek's plan runs less than $20 a month, and involves no contracts or credit checks.
So, the argument goes, there's an potential market for a perfect email-only handheld.
"It's not a smartphone under the hood," said Sarva. "The bill of materials is cut to about a third."
Most devices with similar email capabilities cost several hundred dollars without a contract subsidy. Peek, built on the simplistic Futurephone platform, will cost $100 at Target from September 15. Its limited functionality brought praise and mockery alike from the blogs.
Engadget's Nilay Patel wrote that "we're quite taken" with the Peek, and Laptop Mag's Todd Haselton wrote that "the Kindle is for books, and the Peek is for e-mail." Tech blog Geeksugar wrote that "It immediately appealed to an unconventional, less-is-more side of me."
Gadling's Scott Carmichael wrote "The device feels great, it looks fantasic and they clearly put a lot of thought into the design." But he also lamented the lack of Exchange support.
Others were not impressed. "Prediction: Failure. It's 2008, you might want to join us," wrote a blogger at easternwest.com.
Wired's Tony Long said that it does its job well, but "no matter how efficient it may be, it lacks a lot of stuff that the modern consumer has come to expect from devices of this size and shape."
For some, reviewing the idea of the Peek rather than the thing itself was unavoidable: "Our biggest problem with the Peek is the concept," wrote CNET's Nicole Lee, who gave it a middling review despite it having "one of the best QWERTY keyboards we've ever tried" and "delivering everything it promised."
Is Sarva right in his belief that e-mail can sustain its own device category? Are you considering buying a Peek? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Eminem's New Song Disses Mariah. AGAIN.
Geez, is Eminem still thinking about that time back in freaking 2001 when he "dated" Mariah Carey? Here's the short version of the story: After this hookup heard round the world, Eminem dedicated his song "Puke" to Mariah in 2005. Nick Cannon, Mariah's husband, wrote on his website, "I'm going to make you wish you never spoke my name and regret the ungodly things you said about my wife." Then Mariah shot back in her video for "Obsession" in May, where a faux Eminem in a hoodie stalks her. Now Eminem has taken this feud to a whole new level with "The Warning." Take a listen above. (Headphones on, as it's likely NSFW.) Here's a sampling of the ultra-classy lyrics:
"Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures? However you prefer to do and goes for you too, Nick, f*ggot/ You think I'm scared of you? You gonna ruin my career you better get one/ Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch c**t who made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once."
Gross, Eminem. Gross. How is this beef still going on? All this happened over eight years ago. Is this really the only way these two can generate press?

Hi all,
I'm reading a book that uses two sentences:
友達に会いに行きます。(I go to meet my friend).
友達と寿司を食べに行きました。(I went with my friend to eat sushi).
My question is now:
友達に会いに has the particles に and に whilst
寿司をたべに uses を and に.
Could someone please explain why this is so? The 2nd case is clear but I don't know why the first doesn't use を.
The 2nd question is: I understand that 食べ is the stem of 食べる. But why does 会う gets transformed to 会い? Is the reason for 食べます -> 食べ and 会います -> 会い?
Thank you for help!
All the best,
食べる is an 一段動詞 (ichi dan verb) and 会う is a 五段動詞 (go dan verb)
The を indicates the direct object, in this case the sushi.
食べる is an 一段動詞 (ichi dan verb) and 会う is a 五段動詞 (go dan verb)
The を indicates the direct object, in this case the sushi.
Thank you for your reply, but you answered the only two things which were clear before I wrote my questions
Actually, denys55's reply is answering the second question as well: you form the stem of 一段動詞 verbs by just removing the final る while you form the stem of 五段動詞 by changing the final kana -- from the -u sound column -- with the kana from the -i sound column of the same row (う→い、く→き、す→し、つ→ち、ぬ→に、む→み、る→り). That's why 会う becomes 会い.
As for the first question, 会う is simply one of those verbs which works with に where you would instinctively put を. It also works with を as well but I've never been quite sure what the difference is between を and に for this verb. I think に is "to go meet someone" (planned) while with を it sounds more like "to run into someone" (unplanned).
会う just doesn't seem to take を. I looked through my dictionary for example sentences with 会う but couldn't find any where it took を. My wife only speaks Japanese but she didn't have any explanation for the reason. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
What I'm seeing is this:
I (omitted) friend (indirect object) meet (for the purpose of/ in order to) went.) Meeting my friend was the reason I went.
Myself (omitted) friend (and) sushi (direct object) eat (for the purpose of/ in order to) went. (My friend and I went for the purpose of eating sushi.)
I believe in the first sentence, friend is the indirect object of meeting and in the second, friend is part of the group going.

"Every time you laugh it's a day to treasure"
As others have said あう uses に, and has a ますstem of あい. That sum things up?

Yes, thank you all very much. This answers my questions

Tuesday has turned into a day for running backs to hide. Last week, we learned the Packers' Ryan Grant was done for the year. Today, it's the Patriots' Kevin Faulk and the Falcons' Jerious Norwood down with torn ACLs and the Saints' Reggie Bush out 4-6 weeks because of a broken leg.
None of the injuries will have as significant an effect as Grant's busted ankle. Bush is the biggest injury, but he was a fringe fantasy starter - perhaps a No. 3 back or flex starter. Pierre Thomas should expect a lot more work while Bush is out, and Thomas will become a must-start in most leagues because of the extra touches. Deshawn Wynn and Chris Ivory are the backups but worth picking up only in the deepest leagues.
In New England, BenJarvus Green-Ellis is the player on the rise. Veteran Fred Taylor might be the team's nominal starter, but Green-Ellis had 10 carries against the Jets vs. five for both Taylor and Faulk. Sammy Morris looks like he is behind both; however, the Patriots' depth chart has been known to change at a moment's notice. The Patriots also have Danny Woodhead and Javarris James in reserve.
The Falcons probably will not miss Norwood much because his entire career has been plagued by injuries. His absence signifies the importance of Jason Snelling, who had a 100-yard game in relief of Michael Turner on Sunday. Even though Turner sounds like he will be OK this week, Snelling should be picked up in every format.
UPDATE: The Redskins also cut Larry Johnson. If you want a backup to Clinton Portis, try Keiland Williams, not new signee Chad Simpson.

Ligonier Valley 5th-graders join fight to end hunger
More than 150 fifth-graders in the Ligonier Valley School District are participating in a project to benefit the Westmoreland County Food Bank by utilizing their artistic skills.
Students in Brandon Rensko's art classes at R.K. Mellon and Ligonier Valley Elementary Schools made clay bowls to donate to the fifth annual "Empty Bowl" event being held at St. Bruno's Parish Hall in Greensburg 12 - 5 p.m. March 10.
When Rensko, of Ligonier, learned of this grassroots project, he knew it was something he would like to be involved in.
"I thought it would be a good way to give back to the community," said Rensko, who was happy for the opportunity to raise money for the food bank while working with his favorite medium — clay and ceramics.
"Empty Bowl" is a charitable event that aims to bring awareness to the many people throughout the world who do not have enough to eat. What began in the early 1990s as a way for art teacher John Hartom to make a difference in his Michigan community, has turned into an international project to fight against hunger.
The premise is to collect handcrafted bowls made by members of the community and gather for a simple meal. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are invited to keep their bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. Monies raised are to be donated to a local organization working to end hunger.
Most of the 12 area school districts participating in the event were submitting bowls crafted by high school students, but Rensko said he felt that his seven fifth-grade classes were up for the challenge. Rensko's students are the only elementary students donating bowls completely handmade and glazed to the event.
"Their bowls are just lovely," said the event's chairwoman Karen Piper of North Huntingdon.
Piper visited the students to talk about the Empty Bowl project and to share how Westmoreland County's participation in the event has grown since she began it five years ago.
"The students were excited when they realized they were actually earning money for families at the food bank," Piper said.
Rensko received a $100 grant offered to art, music and gym teachers from the Thoburn Foundation of Education to purchase the special type of clay and glaze necessary to make the bowls functional. Students used a technique that required stacking rolled balls of clay around empty Cool Whip containers to form the bowls. "It was a really unique idea," said Piper.
Students began crafting their bowls back in December, Rensko said. Currently, they are glazing them in solid colors or simple designs. Rensko will firing them in a kiln heated to more than 2,000 degrees.
"This was our first year doing this," Rensko said, "and we'll definitely be doing it again next year."
Tickets to attend the Empty Bowl are $15 and available at the door the day of the event. Cost includes a variety of soups and breads, from more than 30 area restaurants, and a handcrafted bowl to take home. There will be more than 1,000 bowls to choose from crafted by students, local artisans, church groups, scout troops, women's clubs and pottery stores.
Entertainment will be provided and chances to win prizes in a chinese auction and a silent auction will be available.

GREENBELT, Md., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Solar and HeliosphericObservatory (SOHO) spacecraft celebrates its 10th anniversary Dec. 2 . The SOHOmission, a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), hasallowed scientists to make significant advances in understanding the closeststar, our sun. This includes understanding the violent solar activity thatcauses stormy space weather, which can disrupt satellites, radio communicationand power systems on Earth.
"It's impossible to overstate the importance of SOHO to the worldwidesolar science community," said Dr. Joe Gurman , U.S. project scientist for SOHOat NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. "In the last ten years,SOHO has revolutionized our ideas about the solar interior and atmosphere andthe acceleration of the solar wind."
Some of SOHO's major scientific accomplishments include:
- Allowing space weather forecasters to play a lead role in the earlywarning system for space weather and give up to three days notice of Earth-directed disturbances.
- Supplying the most detailed and precise measurements beneath the surfaceof the sun.
- Providing the first images of a star's turbulent outer shell (theconvection zone) and of the structure of sunspots beneath the solar surface.

A total of 737 people live in the eight newly wired student residence halls, and seventy-six of them are currently connected to the Internet from their dorm rooms. Of those "wired" folks, thirty-nine are Macintosh users, thirty-four use Windows, and three use other systems. Additional students, who have not registered for Web use, may be using the system to connect to on-campus computer services.
Porter, Ham, 1837, Brigham, Prospect, Safford, and North and South Rockefeller Halls are currently wired for Internet access; other dorms are scheduled to be similarly equipped this summer.

As shy said in her blog today its been cold. Actually its beeen way more cold than cold.. im freezing my tits off.
Heaters been on all day and yet it still hasnt risen to upstairs yet. So ive had to resort to actually socialising with the family and plonking myself downstairs to stay warm.
In 1 and a half weeks when my exams are over im going to invest in a portable heater for upstairs.. a bloody darn good one. It will be worth every cent.
Today: Day number .. already lost count..
