FOR 49 years, Francis Ryan and her younger brothers lived with the cruel emotional crush that their mother did not love them; that she had abandoned them in their infancy to pursue her own life. Never to return.
While they spent decades wondering why she had left, Judith Bartlett was dead.
For almost half a century her bones lay in a lonely field, 145km from the warmth of her Bathurst family home, and the thoughts of her children.
Now, the revelation of Judith's plight has created a strange anomaly that in hearing that their mother was murdered, her trio of kids finally felt the peace of knowing she loved them.
Instead of walking out on them, she was snatched from their lives on an autumn day in 1964 while walking the 2½ blocks to work at the old Royal Hotel, leaving 10-year-old Francis, six-year-old Graeme, and two-year-old Daryl without a mother.
"I was 10 and I remember one moment I had a family, and the next moment I didn't. I had a mother who I thought loved me, I had a mother who I thought was my friend," Francis said.
"And then I was told she'd gone away. And I thought she had left me. And now my brother and I have found out that our mother didn't leave us, she didn't stop loving us."
The astonishing tale of what really happened to Judith Bartlett began in 2009 when a bushwalker stumbled across bones on a remote property at Gooloogong, near Cowra, in the state's central west.
The remains were sent to New Zealand for dating, giving investigators a window of time in which to scour missing persons files. It took three years before the bones and DNA collected from Francis were able to be matched in a Texas lab.
Judith Bartlett had been found and a missing persons case file which had been gathering dust was now an open homicide.
Detective Senior Constable Kevin Beatty and crime manager Inspector Denise Godden said it was the sheer remoteness of the bones that raised suspicion.
Asked why the matter was now a homicide Insp Godden said: "The nature that she went off to work and she was never seen after that point, and the point that we've been told from the scientific examinations that it was likely those bones had been there since the '60s ... as a result of that, we are going with the suspicious nature of it."
Francis Ryan, now 59, said it would be difficult for the family to find closure because of the murder investigation. It was like one mystery being closed and another opening. But it had brought a wave of relief to the siblings.
"My brother spent almost 49 years almost hating a woman for walking out on him. You never let go of the hope that your mum will come back to you.
"This confirms to the family that mum loved us."
Judith's husband Ronald died last year, without ever knowing what happened to his wife.

Nice new breadboard and power supply from TAUTIC.com
This is just a plug for a cute little pair of gadgets that I got the other day.. If you are like me and use solderless breadboards to experiment with stuff on the Arduino, you end up with the Arduino and the breadboard connected by a hodge podge of wires, and if you accidently tug on a power supply cord or the USB cord, half connections come undone. Or, you do all this experimenting on the dining room table, and when you have to clear it away for dinner, all sorts of wires become undone. Frustrating. Even annoying.
So, I took out an insurance policy against annoyance and frustration and ordered a protyping board for the Arduino Uno from TAUTIC.com. TAUTIC Electronics LLC is one of those cool little bootstrapped companies that have chosen to embrace the Open Source Hardware ideas and offer products of interest to tinkerers like myself. This prototype board is basically just a solderless breadboard bonded to a blue plastic backer, with the holes properly drilled to attach an Arduino Uno and the necessary hardware. He also makes version for the chipKit microcontrollers manufactured by Diligent.
While I placed that order, I decided to also give one of his dual output breadboard power supplies a try. For $9, you get a nice little board that plugs into a prototype board and provides 5V on the top rail, and 3.3V on the bottom rail. Very spiffy. The boards were shipped to me literally on the day I ordered them, great customer service. Jayson has a number of other cool boards, including some thermocouple boards and a PIC based development board. Check his store out and see if there is something that catches your eye.

Consider a Heathkit trainer, particularly the ET-3100 (http://www.vintage-computer.com/heathkit3100.shtml), which almost always turn up on eBay for about $20 or so. These have a +/- variable DC supply two fixed AC Supplies, a rudimentary signal generator and a proto-board, with two pots built in, all in one box. I've seen them in Blue; I have one of the tan ones.

LOS ANGELES – A 20-year-old man who was a suspect in an attempted sexual assault at UCLA turned himself in to campus police Sunday after photos of him near the residence hall where the attack occurred were publicly released, according to school officials.
Daniel F. Hoyos Isaza of Santa Clarita, a non-student, turned himself into UCLA police and was arrested about 12:30 p.m., according to UCLA police and L.A. County jail records.
Hoyos was wanted in connection with an attempted sexual assault that occurred about 2:30 a.m. Friday, outside Rieber resident hall, according to UCLA police.
The suspect, who police now say was Hoyos, allegedly grabbed a female student from behind and attempted to sexually assault her. The attack was interrupted by two witnesses and the suspect fled the scene.
He was described as a light-skinned male, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, weighing between 180 and 200 pounds and between 20 and 25 years old. He also had brown hair and a thin mustache, according to police. On-campus photos of the alleged suspect were released by police and allegedly match Hoyos, according to authorities.
Hoyos was transported to Los Angeles County jail where he was being held in lieu of $1.13 million bail. He is due in court at the LAX Superior Courthouse for arraignment on Oct. 8, according to jail records.

While reading through the questions in most of the catagories on this forum, I have noticed that alot of beginners want to mount everything from bear to bobcat, and they want to do it today! Now some of these people do not seem to have a clue about very basic things. My suggestion is to read everything,study every manual and video that you can get your hands on, before taking on even a squirrel. I did this for about three years before trying my first deer, which turned out excellent for my first, and beleive me, I wanted to get right into it long before that. If you have taxidermy in your blood then you will understand what I am trying to say. If you want to mount your bear today, then by all means do so, but consider the results as a learning experience. I am still a beginner after five years of messing around with this stuff and can't wait to read the next post and watch the next video. Sorry about rambling on, but I hope this helps someone. Thanks for listning...

I'm 16 and learning Taxidermy and learned when I skinned my first snake 2 years ago, that I wanted to continue to learn, I was hooked. I soon found these forums and read though the archives, and started to take a friends deer hides to re-tan and learned I was over my head, so I started looking for fresh road kill squirrels and little critters the cat and dog drug in to practice on in my spare time. I even apprenticed under a taxidermist down the street for about 4 month, skinning coustomers birds and a bobcat for the man. I've learned books and videos are a great for learning and the only other advice is practice, practice, practice!
I also have been looking to do taxidermy for some time now(about 5-6 years) and read posts watched videos read books, but the best thing I did was help a taxidermist and i've been working with him for a year now and have learned more in that year than all the reading and watching vodeos combined. I mounted a deer,fox, and a squirrel and they all look really good.

Computer Science and Software Engineering: A Change in Archetype
A set of characteristics that increasingly distinguish today's complex software systems from "Traditional" ones. The authors identify and analyze these by several examples in different areas show that these characteristics are not limited to a few application domains but are widespread. These characteristics are likely to impact dramatically the way software systems are modeled and engineered. In particular, they appear to be on the edge of a radical shift of paradigm, about to change the attitudes in software systems modeling and engineering.
