Thank you to the following friends and relatives who responded about their memories of clotheslines, washing, and ironing when growing up:
Irene Ashe, Melanie Eppard, Anne Hollingsworth, Linda Kohler, Fran Moore, Ken Robbins, Madlyn Simkulet, and Linda Robbins
Irene Ashe, Baytown, Texas
About clotheslines, the things I remember are "pants stretchers". Do you remember those? They surely made ironing khakis easer. And the little bag that hung on the clotheslines for keeping clothespins in. Some of them were shaped like a child's dress. Sometimes, we were allowed to pin the top of a sheet to one clothesline and the bottom of the sheet to the next line and play underneath like a tent.
Melanie Eppard, Rhome, Texas
LOL, well this sure brings back memories!
I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania in a duplex. There were ten duplexes, all the same, lined up next to each other with little alleys in between on our side of the street. Across the street were row homes. There was no such thing as "privacy fences" so, on wash day, everyone's clothes, etc. were all hung on the lines in the backyards all the way up the street. We also had an alley behind the yards.
We lived on the corner, and there was a lady who lived all the way up on the other end. She would be outside hanging her clothes in her bra and slip in the summertime.
I also remember our wash line being used as a "dog run" and, on occasion, "kid run" when my brother or I were unruly.
To this day, my mother does not own a dryer and hangs her clothes out to dry. Nor does she have a dishwasher. She refuses, even though my brother and I offered to buy her one She thinks they're "unsanitary".
Anne Hollingsworth, Glendora, California
You and we are dating ourselves! I can remember hanging the clothes out because we didn't have a dryer (That name went to both me and my brother.). We were also known as the dishwasher! This was when I was growing up in Riverside, California around 1953-1957. Then we moved to Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and eventually to San Diego, California.
We made a game out of both. We would toss a baseball to each other to see who would hang the clothes or who would take them down. The same for the dishwasher--who washed and who dried.
I can still remember the smell of the sheets on a really windy day and they'd make that "flapping" noise. As a baby boomer, I can even remember the old wooden clothespins (both kinds). When I was younger, we had a regular clothesline that was straight between two metal poles with arms Then my mother went modern and we got one of those clotheslines that was on one pole in the middle which would collapse like an opening flower and there were more lines to use. She also kept the clothespins in a cloth bag which hung on one of the lines and she could move it along while she hung the clothes.
My sister had to do the ironing of the sheets and I got to play the sprinkler! We didn't have a steam iron and it was fun listening to the iron sizzle the wet part of the sheet.
Since I'm the youngest of four kids, laundry day was fun for me because I could play with both my brothers and sister. My mother made sure all of us were busy on that day!
Linda Kohler, Surprise, Arizona
I also grew up in the 50's, 60's and it was a great time in my life. Since I grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we would have to make sure it was windy and not freezing outside. I also remember the cloth bag and both kinds of clothes pins. I did not like the "new and improved" plastic pins because they always broke.
We were also lucky enough to have a mangler, at least that is what my mother called it. You would put the sheets folded in and it was sort of like a wringer washer that would move the cloths along the hot iron rollers. I never got to do the good things, only the pillow cases, hankies, and some of the cotton dish cloths for drying the dishes.
I did not like the metal line because it would be hard to hang things on, but the rope line was not much better because it would sag after a large load of clothes were hanging on it. So you had to position the cloths just right so it would all "hang good".
Anyone remember the pant stretchers?? I always thought they were so funny especially when the pants dried and you took them off. They looked like they could just walk away.
This brought back some nice memories that I have not thought about in a long time. Guess I am getting old!
Fran Moore, Powderly, Texas
I still use my clothesline! Especially now that we are on Social Security!
Ken Robbins, Rhome, Texas
When I was growing up on Grant Avenue in Islip, New York, we had a clothesline that ran from the back porch by the kitchen to a post across the back yard. It was first class. There was a clothesline pulley at each end. The clothesline went around both pulleys.
I could stand on the back porch, hang up the clothes on the bottom line, and extend it out until the clothes hit the post that stopped it. I believe my dad invented the clothesline for us based on the ones that ran across streets and alleys in New York City. When the clothes were dry, I pulled them back in and took them off the line. Sheets could freeze if it was cold enough in the winter.
There was a special place on the line to adjust the tension of the cotton rope. Sometimes there was a heavy sheet on the line and the tension would have to be increased so the sheet would not drag on the ground. At other times there would be too much tension on the line due to dry sunny weather. The cotton line would be too tight and would have to be loosened.
Most of the clothespins we had were the one piece wooden ones with round tops and two legs. They did not have a clip on them that you could squeeze.
Linda Robbins, Rhome, Texas
We hung (That is correct English for this application.) out the clothes on the clothes line until I was in the 5th grade (1952) when our family lived in Galveston at the parsonage on N 1/2 Street. We had a gas dryer there for the first time. As I recall, it was in the garage.
Even then, probably on some days we still hung out the clothes on the clothes line. That was a job that my mom gave to me and my sister Llew. All of our clothes lines had T-poles at each end. Sheets were the hardest. They had to be folded in half so they wouldn't drag the ground and for a short person, that was a chore.
Also, have you ever dropped a clothespin when your other hand is in the air holding the item on the line? What a wasted effort. You have to start over again. I remember continuing to do that job when we moved to Duncan, Oklahoma in high school (1958-1960) in the first parsonage in the back yard. One day the sky "turned green" and either the clothes were or were not dry yet, but we had to get them off the line quickly, because a big storm was coming.
As an adult I hung out clothes at my first mother-in-law's home in Tulsa, Oklahoma and later at my second mother-in-law's home on Amuxen Court in Islip, New York. I recall that the first job was to take a wet cloth and run it over the wire clothesline to get it clean. Next shake out the clothes and arrange them in the basket, which had a sewn in plastic liner or was a bushel basket like fruits comes in. This was in the day before plastic laundry baskets.
Many people probably hung up their clothes haphazardly, but I remember organizing them so that the sheets, towels, and larger items were either on the outside lines or at an end where they covered the more private clothes, like underwear and unmentionables.
Madlyn Simkulet, Baytown, Texas
Here is what you can learn about a community from their clotheslines:
1. You can tell how many people live in the house including their sexes and approximate ages
2. You can tell when there is a new baby in the house. This was back when we still used cloth diapers.
3. You have a hint of what type work the father does. If there are lots of white shirts, he might do office work or if there are lots of work pants on the line, he might be a laborer.

Hanging the clothes out on the line was my job when I was small. It was a challenge to get the sheets stretched without dropping them. There was absolutely nothing more delicious than taking the clothespins off and folding the stiff, sweet-smelling sheets. When I was older, I got to iron the sheets on the mangle out on our screened side porch. While I ironed, I listened to Our Gal Sunday and Stella Dallas. They were radio soap operas.
Go to the following link to learn more about the mangle "mangler" mentioned in Linda Kohler's writing:
Ironrite Mangle Ironer 78
One of the appliances pictured in the 1946 article is an IronRite ironer... known generally to the population as a "Mangle". (You can see why the Iron-Rite corporation is so emphatic about calling it an Ironer.)

The Old Kings County Courthouse
Photo courtesy of the Brooklyn Historical Society
The court first sat in the
old Kings County Courthouse, located on what is now the site of Brooklyn
Law School at the southwest corner of the intersection of Joralemon Street
and Boreum Place in downtown Brooklyn. Change was in the air in 1894
and 1895. In addition to the Constitutional Convention and the alterations
it brought, in those years the City of Brooklyn annexed the remaining
Kings County towns of Flatbush, New Utrecht, Gravesend, and Flatlands.
When this was done the whole of Kings County had become identical with
the City of Brooklyn and a separate county government with its own officers
was rendered unnecessary. The end of the need for county government came
on December 31, 1895, and coincidentally the Constitution of 1894 went
into effect on the following day. Thus the chamber of the former Kings
County Board of Supervisors, which went out of existence with the end
of county government, became available and it was redecorated for use
as the courtroom for the Appellate Division, Second Department.
The first session of the court was held in the former Supervisors' Chamber
on January 6, 1896. At 10 a.m. on that day the proclamation was made and
Presiding Justice Charles F. Brown, and Associate Justices Calvin E. Pratt,
Edgar M. Cullen, Willard Bartlett, and Edward S. Hatch took the bench.
Joseph A. Burr, the President of the Brooklyn Bar Association, addressed
the court, the calendar was called, and argument was held. Not only was
this the first meeting of a new court, in a new courtroom, but the Justices
also had a new look. It was on that day that the Justices of the Supreme
Court first wore judicial gowns while on the bench. The
New York Law Journal observed that the decision to wear judicial gowns did not spring from a "love
of mere pomp," but rather "from a deliberate conviction that
a certain amount of ceremony and symbolism…may have real utility
in constantly reminding the Bench and Bar alike of the obligation of conscientious
and decorous official conduct." The first appeal that the court decided
was Kingsland Land Co. v Newman, reported by Marcus T. Hun as the first
case in the first series of the Appellate Division reports. It involved
an action brought against the endorser of a promissory note on an appeal
from what was then called the Kings County Circuit.
The use of a courtroom in the Kings County Courthouse was a temporary measure.
Unlike the former General Term, whose judges sat both at the trial level
and on appellate panels in courthouses in each of the Judicial Districts
making up the Judicial Department, the Appellate Division was intended
to be a permanent and independent court with full-time Justices and staff.
It needed its own courtroom, clerk's office, and chambers for its

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Obtains Remedy for Capable Worker Fired Solely for His Disability
PORTLAND, Ore. – A potato and onion packager based in Umatilla, Ore., has agreed to pay $80,000 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit had charged that South Basin Packing fired a worker immediately after he informed the company of his recent diagnosis for a chronic medical condition.
Firing an employee due to a disability violates the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires employers to explore with the employee reasonable accommodations for his disability. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. South Basin Packing, LLC, CV-10-1194-SU) in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon after a neutral investigation conducted by EEOC Investigator Bryne Moore and after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"Our investigation found that this employee was fully capable of doing his job," said Michael Baldonado, director of the EEOC's San Francisco District Office. "The ADA seeks to ensure that competent workers do not fall victim to myths and stereotypes about disabilities. Fortunately, the measures that South Basin has agreed to implement will protect their employees with disabilities from facing this kind of treatment again."
Under the terms of the consent decree settling the suit, South Basin will pay $80,000 to the fired worker. In addition, the company will draft new policies and train all employees, including management, on preventing disability discrimination. South Basin will also report on its handling of disability-related complaints to the EEOC for the next three years.
EEOC San Francisco Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo said, "This settlement should emphasize to employers that hiring and firing decisions must be based on facts -- whether or not an applicant or employee has the ability to do the job -- and not fears concerning disability."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

All-America, 1968
All-Atlantic Coast Conference, 1968
ACC Rebounding Champion, 1966, 1968
A native of Missoula, Montana, Mike Lewis was a Duke basketball standout from 1966 through 1968. The 6-7, 225-pounder twice led the ACC in rebounding and helped the Blue Devils to a number three national finish in 1966.
A rugged defensive specialist and good scorer, Lewis broke into the Duke lineup as a sophomore and averaged 13.9 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in Duke's drive to the Final Four. The team was ranked number one in the nation during the regular season before finishing third with a 26-4 record. Lewis helped key an upset of then top-ranked UCLA by grabbing 21 rebounds in an early-season contest with the Bruins in Durham.
Duke had a combined 40-15 record during Lewis' junior and senior seasons and played in the NIT both years. He led the squad in rebounding both years and topped the ACC in that category as a senior with a 14.4 average. He was chosen the team's most valuable player, was a unanimous selection to the All-ACC team and made second-team All-America.
Lewis finished his Duke career with 1,416 points and 1,051 rebounds. He holds the Duke record for best career rebounding average with a 12.5 mark and was the fifth best rebounder in ACC history when he graduated. He now stands 13th in career scoring and fourth in career rebounding in Duke annals.
Lewis played professional basketball for six years in the ABA before an Achilles tendon injury ended his career.

Depends what part of the country you are in though. The south is quite lacking in top teams compared to the midlands/north/Scotland.
There's not really any teams too close to me, but if I can find a way to, I may watch some of the British games.

Cosmetic Royalty "Makes Up" Her Home
Saturday, March 10, 2012 | Category: Antiques and Collectibles, Celebs, Decorating, Design Inspiration, Magazines
I fell in love with the style of cosmetic heiress Aerin Lauder when I featured the Lauder family estate in Palm Beach last year. I was very excited to come across her Hamptons home in Wainscott, New York in Vogue. With the same traditional elegance infused with modern comforts as her family's home in Florida, Lauder's country home is lovely and elegant, yet oh so comfortable. Don't you just want to dive into that cheetah sofa? I love the personal touches throughout the home…signed photograph from Grace Kelly to her grandmother, Estee (your home has one of those too, right?), knick knacks from her young sons strewn throughout the kitchen (if you have young children, you know sports equipment and homework assignments become decorator accessories), and a framed letter from her grandmother next to her bed. The home, like Lauder herself, is effortlessly stunning.

Mark Kelly, the husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, broke the news of a shooting today during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on curbing the nation's gun violence.
Kelly started his response to a question from Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) by announcing reports of the shooting in Phoenix, Ariz., in which three people were shot and two more were injured.
"While we were having this hearing — and we certainly don't know the details — in Phoenix, Ariz., there is another ... shooting with multiple victims. The initial reports are three people injured in Arizona with multiple shots fired, and there are 50 police cars on the scene."
He then launched in to an answer of why he thinks more stringent background checks are necessary, a point he made repeatedly throughout the hearing. The hearing also featured a surprise appearance from Giffords, as well as testimony from NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.
Watch Kelly break the news below, via Talking Points Memo:

Transponder Database for Gpredict
From MyLabWiki
Once the new Doppler Tuning Algorithm for Gpredict is implemented and tested, Gpredict needs to have some kind of transponder database to allow easy and convenient selection of transponders for the currently selected satellite.
The idea is to have a data file for each satellite containing one transponder definition per section & or configuration group as it is called in g_key_file terminology. This would also prevent having two transponders for the same satellite having the same name.
$HOME/.gpredict2/trsp/12345.trsp [MODE U/V] UP_LOW=435200000 UP_HIGH=435300000 DOWN_LOW=145800000 DOWN_HIGH=145900000 INVERT=TRUE
We will also need to create utility functions for reading and writing these data files, just as we have it for radio configuration. The API for this utility lib could be:
typedef struct { gchar *name; /*!< The name of the transponder (same as config group) */ gdouble uplow; gdouble uphigh; gdouble downlow; gdouble downhigh; gboolean invert; } trsp_t; /* The actual data would then be a singly linked list with pointers to transponder_t structures */ GSList *read_tranponders (guint catnum); void write_transponders (guint catnum, GSList *trsplist); void free_transponders (GSList *trsplist);

Probably one of the dorkiest and amateur posts I've made yet and one which I am a bit hesitant to post - I had originally gathered references but have now decided not to post them because they basically just highlight how tremendously bad/blurry my photos are. I tried to do what I could with photoshop effects but alas... I am only using a Sony Cybershot and the focus always tends to be a little temperamental. Hopefully they are good for a chuckle anyway and if I'm lucky maybe some of you could be inspired to try a few subtle differences to your daily makeup stylings.
My favourite look, black eyeliner on bottom lid and rosy lips - filled in my brows (i love a dark brow!) and slightly contoured inside nose. Little bit of peachy blush but you can't really tell. Inspired by the make-up featured in Stella McCartney S/S 09.
Basic bright lips look and dark brow look. Wearing foundation over eyelids for a blanker canvas...but you can't really tell. Filled in brows. Tried to get the most matt look possible but probably needed more clear powder on my lips.
Black eye shadow under eyes only, light shimmer inside eye. Glossy lips which I've now decided looks not so great. Maybe nude lips would have been a better option. Maybe mascara too but I couldn't find it, I've taken most of my best make-up to London and I left it there.
I use some Mac make-up but most of my collection is a jumble of different things, the bright colours I own are all really cheap because chances are I'll only wear them once.
Skin tip: Lately Ive been using Vitamin E capsules as a a night serum and I find my skin always looks great when I wake up in the morning. Its a much cheaper alternative to other night creams - but probably is best for people who have dry skin... I can't even remember where I got the idea to use them but they are great to take on long flights to protect your skin from the awful dry air on the plane. I just apply about half a capsule to clean skin. Hope this can help all those ladies out there suffering through dry winter skin blues!

|Handsome Dan XIV
Whizzer arrived as a pup on October of 1995.
Born on Mother's Day, Hetherbull has been donated to the university by Robert Hetherington '55, who owns a kennel in North Carolina. The Yale sideline prowler was kept by Chris Getman '64, also the keeper of 10-year mascot Handsome Dan XIII (a.k.a. Maurice).
Hetherbull, who made his first appearance at a Yale Club in Ashville, N.C., on June 30, had a family tradition of stardom. His grandfather, Hetherbull Arrogant Frigott, is the winningest bulldog ever in competition with 52 "best in shows." His father, Hetherbull Nigel, won his first competition and could follow in Frigott's paw steps.

I spend so much on bits of tat, that I decided I needed to make an investment for my mouth. Nope, not some gobstoppers – a new toothbrush!
Apparently Oral B Triumph 9900 is one that is recommended by dentists. Not the dentists I know because they are largely illiterate and enjoy putting the fear of God into you.
You know the drilling smell? You know the burning smell? *chills*
Despite this I know I need some fillings. I am going to ignore that, and pretend I can brush them away.
The Oral B:
They say it:
# Improves gum health: Helps prevent and reverse gingivitis
# Provides ultimate plaque removal
# Delivers superior teeth whitening and polishing action in 21 days*
# Penetrates between teeth to sweep away plaque for a floss-like clean**
# Helps reduce excessive brushing force, which can lead to gum recession, by up to 88% in only 30 days†
# Guaranteed better checkups, or your money back
# Helps you brush for two minutes
I already have an electric toothbrush but its a cheapy £20 one which is ok, not brilliant.
You get:
# 1 x Triumph rechargeable toothbrush
# 1 x SmartGuide brushing aid
# 1 x Charging stand
# 1 x FlossAction brushhead
# 1 x ProBright brushhead
# 1 x Travel Case
The big feature of this is that it comes with a separate unit called the smart guide. Here, there's a timer, a 'quadrant' which shows you where to move on to (imagine the mouth split into four parts, top and bottom teeth, 30 seconds each area). It is also a clock and tells you if you are pressing too hard. Yes…it is THAT clever.
So this took ages to charge up fully – about 12 hours. When it was – wow – watch it go! The brush is new so it is a little hard on my sensitive gums but I just pressed lightly (if you press too hard then a red cross will appear on the smart guide).
You seriously need to but this in your mouth before you turn it on because its super charged with power and goes crazy = toothpaste everywhere. I am still getting used to the full force of it.
I like:
1. How CLEAN it gets your teeth. It really does feel amazingly clean and fresh, removes even stubborn plaque. Its better than a normal toothbrush and its better than my cheaper Oral B toothbrush. My teeth look whiter too and the polisher (which you shouldn't use too often) really makes the gleam.
2. The smartguide is useful – if you have the timer on your toothbrush you can't look at it whilst you are brushing so having a separate timer is great.
3. You can use a number of attachments on it, like a flosser and water pic. If you have sensitive teeth like me then that's pretty useful.
4. It comes with a stand that has room to put your brush heads in. I always lose my

1. Nothing, but if I was nitpicking, the price? But it's on sale at Boots though so I bought it for £68.40 – I'd spend that on a bit of make up so why not on my gnashers!
You can buy it here and collect the boots points!

In a shocking turn of events, the IIHF has turned around and stopped the free live broadcasts of the World Championships. The decision, is according to an IIHF statement, based on some fans in the geoblocked countries bypassing the blocking mechanism to watch the games, rather than use services provided by TV rights holders. The games will still be shown for free via YouTube, but with a 30 minute delay to the service, which negates the point of watching the games.
The World Championships have been a total farce from start to finish and this is the last nail in the coffin. The free YouTube streams were a step forwards in exposing the sport and the sponsors of the games to a whole new audience, whilst extending the service to those who wanted to follow their nation play, but lived in a country where there was no TV deal in place. The release by IIHF cites that "today's step was taken to prevail illegal attempts to access the streaming countries that were geoblocked due to exclusive contracts." I'm sorry, but bypassing a geoblock is not illegal. It may not be ethical, but it is by no stretch of imagination illegal. It's a complete disgrace to the IIHF that they have blocked a service that was enjoyed by the fans, regardless of the fact whether some users bypassed the blocking mechanisms in place. Furthermore, I can't believe that an organisation like the IIHF is so out of touch with the internet that they thought that a geoblock would work. What the IIHF has failed to realise is that as long as something is broadcast on to the web, whether by an "authorised" TV provider, the feed will ultimately end up in the Internet where users like myself can watch it for free. So my question is why block it on that premise? Surely the best way to tackle the issue of illegal streams is to do what the IIHF did in the first place, by offering a free, high quality stream of the games.
The official statement read: Bruno Marty, Excecutive Director Wintersports, said: "We deeply regret that we have to take this step, in particular for all the ice hockey followers out there who just want to enjoy the games online on YouTube. However, we currently see no other option to protect the existing media rights agreements with our broadcast partners, as some so called fans decided not to play fair and to illegally surpass existing copyright and geoblocking mechanism."
I have a feeling that the geoblocking has nothing to do with the fact the games were pulled. I have a feeling that broadcasters in countries where the rights have switched hands (I'm looking at Finland here) have kicked up a fuss, because the live streams took away customers from the pay for channels. What makes the IIHF think that the users who have been watching the games via YouTube will suddenly flock to a TV provider and pay an arm and a leg for a viewing pack?
What's surprising even further is that the IIHF has not even brought in an option it has hosted previous years and allow users to buy a country pass or a tournament pass to watch the games. That way users could at least still watch, what the IIHF calls legal streams, and make a profit out of it on the side. Delaying the games by 30 minutes just negates the point of watching a game! What is the point when you have an app for a phone that tells you the score. Wake the hell up IIHF.
Like I said these world championships have been a total farce from the start, with the ticket prices and price slashes and free ticket giveaways. All the while Rene Fasel and the organisers have talked about a great brand they have to protect, but this decision sees the IIHF take the brand and wipe its ass with it!
It's completely puzzling how the KHL can show the entire regular season via YouTube, including playoffs, and have no trouble with it? How can the IIHF find this context so hard and difficult?
I will conclude this post on this picture as it is now more pertinent than ever (With thanks to Esko Seppanen and Urheilulehti). My parting thoughts would be to curse at the IIHF, but what's the point?

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Sometimes an event will announce that it is ``redundant''. When this happens, no change to the logical world has occurred. This happens when the logical name being defined is already defined and has exactly the same definition, from the logical point of view. This feature permits two independent books, each of which defines some name, to be included sequentially provided they use exactly the same definition.
When are two logical-name definitions considered exactly the same? It depends upon the kind of name being defined.
deflabel event is never redundant. This means that if you have a
deflabel in a book and that book has been included (without error),
then references to that label denote the point in history at which
the book introduced the label. See the note about shifting logical
names, below.
defun or
mutual-recursion (or
defuns) event is redundant
if for each function to be introduced, there has already been introduced a
function with the same name, the same formals, and syntactically identical
guard, type declarations,
s declarations and
(before macroexpansion), and an appropriate
mode (see the discussion of
modes'' below). Exceptions: (1) If either definition is
:non-executable (see xargs), then the two events must be
identical. (2) It is permissible for one definition to have a
:guard of
t and the other to have no explicit guard (hence, the
guard is implicitly
verify-guards event is redundant if the function has already had
its guards verified.
defaxiom or
defthm event is redundant if there is already an axiom
or theorem of the given name and both the formula (after
macroexpansion) and the rule-classes are syntactically identical.
Note that a
defaxiom can make a subsequent
defthm redundant, and a
defthm can make a subsequent
defaxiom redundant as well.
defconst is redundant if the name is already defined either with a
syntactically identical
defconst event or one that defines it to have the
same value.
defstobj is redundant if there is already a
defstobj event with
the same name that has exactly the same field descriptors (see defstobj), in
the same order, and with the same
:renaming value if
:renaming is
supplied for either event.
defmacro is redundant if there is already a macro defined with the
same name and syntactically identical arguments, guard, and body.
defpkg is redundant if a package of the same name with exactly the
same imports has been defined.
deftheory is never redundant. The ``natural'' notion of
deftheory forms is that the names and values of the two
theory expressions are the same. But since most theory expressions are
sensitive to the context in which they occur, it seems unlikely to
us that two
deftheorys coming from two sequentially included books
will ever have the same values. So we prohibit redundant theory
definitions. If you try to define the same theory name twice, you
will get a ``name in use'' error.
in-theory event is never redundant because it doesn't define any
push-untouchable event is redundant if every name supplied is
already a member of the untouchable symbols.
Table and
defdoc events are never redundant because they don't
define any name.
encapsulate event is redundant if and only if a syntactically
encapsulate has already been executed under the same
include-book is redundant if the book has already been included.
Note About Appropriate Modes:
Suppose a function is being redefined and that the formals, guards, types,
stobjs, and bodies are identical. When are the modes (
logic) ``appropriate?'' Identical modes are appropriate.
But what if the old mode was
:program and the new mode is
This is appropriate, provided the definition meets the requirements of the
logical definitional principle. That is, you may redefine ``redundantly''
:program mode function as a
:logic mode function provide the
measure conjectures can be proved. This is what
does. Now consider the reverse style of redefinition. Suppose the
function was defined in
:logic mode and is being identically redefined
:program mode. This is inappropriate. We do not permit the
downgrading of a function from
:logic mode to
:program mode, since
that might produce a logical world in which there were theorems about a
:program mode function, violating one of ACL2's basic assumptions.
Note About Shifting Logical Names:
Suppose a book defines a function
fn and later uses
fn as a logical
name in a theory expression. Consider the value of that theory
expression in two different sessions. In session A, the book is
included in a world in which
fn is not already defined, i.e., in a
world in which the book's definition of
fn is not redundant. In
session B, the book is included in a world in which
fn is already
identically defined. In session B, the book's definition of
fn is
redundant. When
fn is used as a logical name in a theory
expression, it denotes the point in history at which
fn was
introduced. Observe that those points are different in the two
sessions. Hence, it is likely that theory expressions involving
will have different values in session A than in session B.
This may adversely affect the user of your book. For example,
suppose your book creates a theory via
deftheory that is advertised
just to contain the names generated by the book. But suppose you
compute the theory as the very last event in the book using:
(set-difference-theories (universal-theory :here) (universal-theory fn))where
fn is the very first event in the book and happens to be a
defun event. This expression returns the advertised set if
fn is
not already defined when the book is included. But if
fn were
previously (identically) defined, the theory is larger than
The moral of this is simple: when building books that other people
will use, it is best to describe your theories in terms of logical
names that will not shift around when the books are included. The
best such names are those created by
Note About Unfortunate Redundancies:
Notice that our syntactic criterion for redundancy of
defun events
does not allow redefinition to take effect unless there is a syntactic change
in the definition. The following example shows how an attempt to redefine a
function can fail to make any change.
(set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defmacro mac (x) x) (defun foo (x) (mac x)) (defmacro mac (x) (list 'car x)) (defun foo (x) (mac x)) ; redundant, unfortunately; foo does not change (thm (equal (foo 3) 3)) ; succeeds, showing that redef of foo didn't happenThe call of macro
mac was expanded away when the first definition of
foo was processed, so the new definition of
mac is not seen in
foo unless
foo is redefined; yet our attempt at redefinition failed!
An easy workaround is first to supply a different definition of
foo, just
before the last definition of
foo above. Then that final definition will
no longer be redundant.
The phenomenon illustrated above can occur even without macros. Here is a more complex example, based on one supplied by Grant Passmore.
(defun n3 () 0) (defun n4 () 1) (defun n5 () (> (n3) (n4))) ; body is normalized to nil (thm (equal (n5) nil)) ; succeeds, trivially (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun n3 () 2)If now we execute
(thm (equal (n5) nil)), it still succeeds even though
we expect
(n5) =
(> (n3) (n4)) =
(> 2 1) =
t. That is
because the body of
n5 was normalized to
nil. (Such normalization
can be avoided; see the brief discussion of
:normalize in the
documentation for
defun.) So, given this unfortunate situation, one
might expect at this point simply to redefine
n5 using the same
definition as before, in order to pick up the new definition of
n3. Such
``redefinition'' would, however, be redundant, for the same reason as in the
previous example: no syntactic change was made to the definition. The same
workaround applies as before: redefine
n5 to be something different, and
then redefine
n5 again to be as desired.
A related phenomenon can occur for
encapsulate. As explained above, an
encapsulate event is redundant if it is identical to one already in the
database. Consider then the following contrived example.
(encapsulate () (defun foo (x) x)) (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun foo (x) (cons x x)) (encapsulate () (defun foo (x) x)) ; redundant!The last
encapsulate event is redundant because it meets the criterion
for redundancy: it is identical to the earlier
encapsulate event. A
workaround can be to add something trivial to the
encapsulate, for
(encapsulate () (deflabel try2) ; ``Increment'' to try3 next time, and so on. (defun foo (x) x))
The examples above are suggestive but by no means exhaustive. Consider the following example.
(defstub f1 () => *) (set-ld-redefinition-action '(:warn . :overwrite) state) (defun f1 () 3) (defstub f1 () => *) ; redundant -- has no effectThe reason that the final
defstub is redundant is that
defstub is
a macro that expands to a call of
encapsulate; so this is very similar to
the immediately preceding example.

A big headache in SSAS, especially when dealing with a large cube, is making a change that when deployed, causes a cube to become unprocessed, forcing you to do a full process so the cube is usable. Nothing is worse than making a change without realizing it will cause the need for a full process on all the partitions of a cube that will take many hours.
For example, a process full on a dimension will cause cube/measures group/related partitions to become unavailable/unprocessed. Here are other actions that will make your cube unprocessed:
- New measure group
- New measure
- Edit measure aggregation method
- Edit dimension usage
Here are other actions that will make your dimension unprocessed (and therefore all cubes connected to the dimension become unprocessed):
- Add an attribute to a dimension
- Change the order by property of an attribute
- Edit the attribute relationship
- Add or delete dimension translation
So, make sure you understand which changes will cause an unprocessed state which makes the cube unusable so you can do it off-hours so you don't end up getting angry phone calls that the cube is not working!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Hundreds May Receive Compensation For Alleged Race And Sex Bias By Leading Area Employer
ROCKFORD, Ill. - Federal District Court Judge Philip G. Reinhard today approved a $1.8 million Consent Decree resolving a major race and sex employment discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on behalf of blacks and women alleged to have been discriminated against by Ingersoll Milling Machine Company and its related companies (Ingersoll) (Case No. 99 C 50362). Ingersoll is an international employer with plants in Illinois and Michigan, as well as overseas in Germany. Its Rockford facility manufactures machine tools for use in the automotive industry and other industries.
The Consent Decree, entered in Federal District Court in Rockford, Ill., also resolved two private cases which had been consolidated with EEOC's case: Jefferson, et al v. Ingersoll, et al (Case No. 98 C 50042) and Smith v. Ingersoll, et al (Case No. 00 C 50260).
The cases, filed beginning in 1998, were based upon more than 30 Charges of Discrimination filed against Ingersoll and alleged that the company refused to hire African-Americans because of their race; discriminated against those African-American individuals it did hire in pay, promotion and other terms and conditions of employment; and discriminated against women in pay.
"This $1.8 million settlement is a first step to remedy racial discrimination in hiring and promotions at Ingersoll," said EEOC Chairwoman Ida L. Castro. "We are very pleased that the injunctive relief will permit EEOC to monitor Ingersoll to ensure its employees a discrimination-free workplace. The Commission's comprehensive enforcement approach has been successful in identifying these illegal and systemic practices by bringing investigators and attorneys together at the outset. We hope that employers will review their practices not just their policies on paper and correct illegal actions voluntarily, to avoid increased risk."
In addition to providing an aggregate of almost $2 million in monetary relief, the Consent Decree includes injunctions which bar Ingersoll from discriminating against African-Americans in connection with hiring, promotion, compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment. Ingersoll is also enjoined from discriminating against women, as well as on the bases of age and retaliation against persons who exercise their federally protected right to complain about employment discrimination.
The Decree also establishes a safeguard against future violations. The Court granted EEOC's request to provide for the appointment of an outside consultant to assist the Court with Ingersoll's implementation of the Decree. The consultant will perform duties similar to those of monitors who oversaw the implementation EEOC's landmark $34 million sexual harassment settlement with Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America in June 1998 the largest-ever sexual harassment settlement in U.S. history. "We think the EEOC and Ingersoll can capitalize on that experience in this case to the benefit of all parties," said John C. Hendrickson, regional attorney for EEOC's Chicago District Office.
Today's Decree provides that when Ingersoll begins hiring, it will be obligated to "actively encourage" African-Americans entitled to relief under the Decree to apply for jobs. The Court will set the terms for that "active encouragement" at a later date. Ingersoll will be required to consider the African-Americans who apply on a non-discriminatory basis and will be prohibited from waiving announced standards for favored applicants.
The Consent Decree includes a wide range of other injunctive measures, including terms requiring changes in job posting procedures, clarification of grievance procedures, publication of salary ranges and job grades, recruitment of diverse applicants, and conducting equal employment opportunity training.
The $1.8 million settlement fund will be divided among three groups: $1.3 million will be paid to 34 individuals represented by the Chicago law firm of Soule, Bradtke & Lambert; $400,000 will be paid to rejected African-American job applicants who file claims with EEOC; and $100,000 will be paid to certain victims of compensation discrimination at Ingersoll who also file claims. EEOC anticipates payments to approximately 30 compensation discrimination victims and as many as 400 hiring discrimination victims.
EEOC Regional Attorney Hendrickson said: "This Consent Decree providing for $1.8 million, consultant oversight, and other injunctive relief successfully concludes a vigorous enforcement action against one of the leading employers in one of Illinois' leading cities. It signals, once again, that EEOC will challenge employment discrimination wherever and whenever it is found. It should also signal, to any employer who is paying attention, that the costs of employment discrimination are measured in the millions and cannot be justified to any community of employees, stockholders, or others as merely a cost of doing business."
Hendrickson added: "This case and this Consent Decree are also significant because they demonstrate, as we have demonstrated before, that, in appropriate cases, EEOC can work with the private bar in furthering the public interest. Jennifer Soule and the other private attorneys who worked with us on the Ingersoll litigation carried their full share of the load. Moreover, the cooperative working relationship we had with private counsel created a synergy which maximized the result for the taxpayers and the mission of EEOC. The record in this case is unequivocal: Both EEOC and the private plaintiffs achieved more though their consolidated efforts than either would have working alone."
John P. Rowe, Director of the agency's Chicago office, said: "This Consent Decree marks the end of a determined administrative and legal enforcement process. The result speaks for itself, particularly the injunctive and non-monetary relief. We anticipate that these measures will, over time, significantly change the way business is done at Ingersoll. In particular, we are cautiously optimistic that the presence of the outside consultant, who will be reporting to us and to the court, will encourage Ingersoll to fully implement both the letter and the spirit of the decree."
In addition to enforcing Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin, EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on the agency's Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

A Separation of Church and Bank
Video: After Bank of America foreclosed on thousands of homes in their San Jose parish, the members of this Catholic church bid it goodbye—and took $3 million with them.
There were more than 3,500 foreclosures in Father Eduardo Samaniego's San Jose parish in 2008. The banks were unwilling to work with the community to keep people in their homes, and the number of houses that were standing empty were becoming a blight on the community and devaluing the remaining homes.
Most of the mortgages were held by Bank of America—which also controlled the accounts of the church and its affiliated school.
So what did the congregation do? They divested the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church's money from Bank of America and moved funds to a local credit union. The hope is that transferring the church's sizable accounts—totaling $3 million—will make Bank of America take note.
The Occupy effect? In the last 3 months, Americans switched banks at three times the normal rate.
To protest the behavior of big banks, thousands pledged to switch to small credit unions on November 5. It's not too late to join them by following these steps.

Reviewed by Forrest C. (age 9)
I liked this book because I like dragons, and there are lots of funny jokes. My favorite part of the book was when Wiglaf finds out he is supposed to get married. His face got all whacky and goofy because he was scared to death and really surprised. I liked Erica the best because she pretends to be a boy. She's really a princess, but she wanted to learn how to slay dragons and the only way she would be allowed to is if she was a boy. This book is part of the Dragon Slayer Academy series, and I've liked every one that I have read.
I would recommend these books to kids who like to read about dragons and fantasy. The books are funny, not serious. They are easy to read, so they would be good for second to fourth graders.

This is from Birds of the Air. (H/T Neil Simpson)
Recently I came across a reading of the Didache. "The what?" you may ask. The Didache is a book written somewhere in the first or second century. For a long time it was up for consideration as Scripture. It was believed to be the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles. Eventually it was agreed that the book was an excellent book, but not inspired Scripture. So I was pleased to be able to download this admirable book containing good teachings from the early Church fathers.
The book seemed to be largely a lot of quotes from Scripture. You'll learn the basic rules of Christianity — "First, you shall love God who made you; second, love your neighbor as yourself." You'll learn that "grave sins" are forbidden, like adultery, murder, fornication, and so on. (They specifically include pederasty in the list.) There are instructions regarding teachers, prophets, Christian assembly, and so on. Lots of the normal, good stuff. But, since this was written sometime prior to 200 AD, I was somewhat surprised at this instruction: "You shall not murder a child by abortion" (Didache, Ch 2).
Honestly, there is no real factual disagreement on abortion. People justify killing the weak the same way as they always do – because the weak are in their way and they are stronger and can get away with it. The politically correct jibber-jabber about "choice" is just to make them (the man and the woman) feel good afterward. Really, abortion is just selfishness taken to the nth degree – you create another human being by recreational sex (fun) and then you kill them in order to avoid have to take responsibility for that new life that you made through your own free choices.
It's like going out and getting drunk then getting behind the wheel of a car and killing someone with the car. It may not be what they intended to do, but it was their decisions that led up to it. They're responsible. But they don't want to face the natural consequences of their own actions, and they are willing to do the most heinous crime imaginable in order to do so. Sex makes babies. If you can't welcome a baby into the world, don't have sex. I don't. And the chance of getting a woman pregnant is of the reasons why. (One of the others is that I don't want to hurt a woman by leaving her after sex – which is why I believe in married sex. I don't want to hurt anyone, most of all babies.
Given the pro-life practices of the early church, I find it hard to understand how people can think that fornicating (pre-marital sex) and abortion are OK. We were not like that then, and we shouldn't be like that now. Sex outside of marriage was not a recreational activity then, and it is not a recreational activity now.

Excellent. Shirley Sherrod, the fired and subsequently vindicated former Department of Agriculture official, has filed suit against Andrew Breitbart, the conservative race-baiting and gay-bashing blogger who posted doctored video on the Internet that made her appear racist. The July 2010 video release went viral and lead to her ouster at the USDA.
Even more delicious: The right-wing blogger was served at the Conservative Political Action Conference, reports the New York Times.
In the suit, which was filed in Washington on Friday, Ms. Sherrod says the video has damaged her reputation and prevented her from continuing her work. Mr. Breitbart said in a statement that he "categorically rejects the transparent effort to chill his constitutionally protected free speech."
Sherrod was quickly pressured to resign by the Obama Administration after a two and a half minute edited video clip of her making racially tinged remarks emerged on July 19. When a full 43-minute copy of the video surfaced a week later, Sherrod spoke of racial reconciliation and helping a white farmer save his home.
President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack later made public apologies for forcing Sherrod's dismissal without learning the complete story. Sherrod declined an offer to return to USDA.

Insofar as we are able to be objective, here follows a brief physical review of the subject, Christopher Eric Hitchens, at the time of this writing enjoying his 59th summer. Obstacles to the continuance of such enjoyment may be listed in no especial order as follows.
The subject has good genes on both sides of his family and has been mercilessly exploiting this inherited advantage for some decades. An initial review of his facial features, as glimpsed in the shaving mirror, reveals relatively few lines or wrinkles and only a respectable minimum of secondary or tertiary chins. However, this may be because the skin is so tightly stretched by the generally porpoise-like condition of the body when considered—which with a shudder it must be—as a whole. Moreover, the fabled blue eyes and long, curled eyelashes (for some years the toast of both sexes on five continents) are now somewhat obscured by the ravages of rosacea and blepharitis, which on certain days lend a flaky aspect to the picture and at other times give the regrettable impression of a visage that is actually crumbling to powder like a dandruffed scalp. It may be for this reason that the subject prefers to undertake the morning shave through a cloud of blue cigarette smoke that wreathes the scene in the fumes of illusion. (N.B.: This would not altogether account for the subject's habit of smoking in the shower.)
The fanglike teeth are what is sometimes called "British": sturdy, if unevenly spaced, and have turned an alarming shade of yellow and brown, attributable perhaps to strong coffee as well as to nicotine, Pinot Noir, and other potations.
Proceeding south and passing over an almost vanished neck that cannot bear the strain of a fastened top button or the constriction of a tie, we come to a thickly furred chest that, together with a layer of flab, allows the subject to face winter conditions with an almost ursine insouciance. The upper part of this chest, however, has slid deplorably down to the mezzanine floor, and it is our opinion that without his extraordinary genital endowment the subject would have a hard time finding the damn thing, let alone glimpsing it from above.
Read Part II: On The Limits Of Self-Improvement, Part 2
Matters are hardly improved on the lower slopes, which feature a somewhat grotesque combination of plump thighs and skinny shins, the arduous descent culminating in feet which are at once much too short and a good deal too chunky. This combination, of ratlike claws and pachydermatous-size insteps, causes the subject to be very cautious about where, and indeed when, he takes off his shoes. There have been unconfirmed reports of popular protest whenever and wherever he does this. Nor do his hands, at the same time very small and very puffy, give any support to the view that the human species does not have a common ancestor with the less advanced species of ape. The nails on the hands are gnawed, and the nails on the feet are claw-like and beginning to curl in a Howard Hughes fashion (perhaps because the subject displays such a marked reluctance to involve himself in any activity that may involve bending).
Viewed from the front when clothed, the subject resembles a burst horsehair sofa cushion or (in the opinion of one of us) a condom hastily stuffed with an old sock. The side perspective is that of an avocado pear and, on certain mornings, an avocado pear that retains nothing of nutritious value but its tinge of alligator green. (N.B.: The bumps and scales of this famous delicacy are sometimes visible and palpable as well.) Of the rear view, all that need be said is that it conforms to the preceding, though with considerably less excuse as well as with mercifully less fur. Seen from directly above, the subject has a little more protective cover than some males of his age, but this threatens to become a pile of tobacco-colored strands clumsily coated onto an admittedly large skull. At all times, the subject gives off a scent that resembles that of an illegal assembly, either of people or of materials, in the hog wallows of Tennessee or in the more remote and primitive islands of Scotland. He becomes defensive, and sometimes aggressive, when asked about the source of this effluvium. It is considered by me, and by the rest of this committee, and by the subject's few remaining friends and surviving family, a medical mystery that he can still perform what he persists in referring to as his "job."
Initial Response of Subject
Well, I mean to say, I don't consider myself especially vain, but it was something of a shocker and a facer to read all that at once. I'd noticed a touch of decline here and there, but one puts these things down to Anno Domini and the acquirement of seniority. A bit of a stomach gives a chap a position in society. A glass of refreshment, in my view, never hurt anybody. This walking business is overrated: I mastered the art of doing it when I was quite small, and in any case, what are taxis for? Smoking is a vice, I will admit, but one has to have a hobby. Nonetheless, when my friends at this magazine formed up and said they would pay good money to stop having to look at me in my current shape, I agreed to a course of rehabilitation. There now exists a whole micro-economy dedicated to the proposition that a makeover is feasible, or in other words to disprove Scott Fitzgerald's dictum that there are no second acts in American lives. Objectives: to drop down from the current 185 pounds, to improve the "tone" of the skin and muscles, to wheeze less, to enhance the hunched and round-shouldered posture, to give some thought to the hair and fur questions (more emphasis perhaps in the right places and less in the wrong ones), to sharpen up the tailoring, to lessen the booze intake, and to make the smile, which currently looks like a handful of mixed nuts, a little less scary to children.
Step One was for me to be dispatched to a spa. We chose one of the very best: the Four Seasons Biltmore Resort, in Santa Barbara, California. Air like wine, gorgeous beaches, lush vegetation, and a legendary hotel with the nicest staff imaginable. The friendly people at the fitness clinic took one look at me and decided, first, on the "Executive Distress Treatment." At least, that's what my disordered senses told me they had recommended. However, it turned out to be the Executive De-Stress Treatment, during which I was massaged with hot stones all along my neck and back by a young lady who didn't turn a hair when she got to Step Two, which was "reflexology" applied to my leprous and scaly upper and lower paws. I can't give you a very comprehensive account of this, because it had the effect of making me fall into a refreshing sleep. I woke briefly from blissful repose to find a new female face taking the second shift, which was a Gentlemen's Facial, involving hot towels enveloping the features, followed by a treatment with "non-perfumed and non-greasy lotions." Off I went again to sleep, and came round to find myself alone, like a pink salmon on a slab, with "Greensleeves" playing softly on the stereo. I'm bound to say I don't usually wake up feeling this good.
I should then, of course, have discovered that I was locked in and that my evening meal of oatmeal, prunes, and mineral water would shortly be served. But, no, I was free to go. Now, I don't know about you, but with me a feeling of fitness and well-being always lends extra zest to the cocktail hour. And what's a cocktail without a smoke? And what else gives you a better appetite for dinner? The Bella Vista restaurant at the Biltmore is justly renowned, and I thought that perhaps if I tried the tasting menu Chef Martin Frost had prepared for me, with just a little morsel for each course … And a meal without wine is like a day without sunshine, as they say in France. And so the long night wore on agreeably enough.
In the morning, none too early, I descended to the beach to begin my program of yoga stretching. It was not thought advisable that I do this by myself—muscles become like mussels at my stage of life, and if not stretched carefully will either lose their elasticity or else snap with a sudden "pop" that I have already once, and disconcertingly, heard as I made the mistake of running for the phone. (Why did I do that?) I thus had the exhausting experience of watching my yoga instructor, the divine Madeline McCuskey, as she showed me the moves. Even regarding her in this way was a workout of a kind. Not to be outdone by some tempestuous and tawny Californian, I attempted to balance and extend myself in the same way, only to find that I was seized by the sensation that I might die or go mad at any moment.
I was soon back at the spa, this time for a more rigorous detoxifying experience. A different young lady painted me a more delicate shade of green than my usual coloring in the a.m. and then slowly wrapped me in foil and linen. This was less like being a salmon on a slab, more like being a steamed Chilean sea bass in the hands of a capable sous-chef. I was told, as the heat built up in the seaweed, that the natural green came from marine algae that were very rich in nutrients and that the coating would "draw toxins" out of my system, as well as revitalize my muscles and generally relieve tension. This time I stayed awake, felt my pores opening all right and even briefly heard them screaming, suppressed the feeling that I was about to be garnished, or served on a bed of arugula with a lemon wedge in my mouth, and realized that it had been quite a long time since I had had a smoke or a drink. This was surely progress in itself! A greatly daring session on the treadmill and with the weights was to follow, and by the time that was over I felt that I had really earned my lunch, into which I tucked with a gusto of browsing and sluicing that still had a vague feeling of conscience lurking behind it. I then punished myself by booking an 80-minute Fitness Scrub and Massage, this time to be administered by a grown man, where I was pitilessly raked with almond meal and subsequently endured a serious pummeling and probing that identified my sloped and hunched shoulders as the main source of my generally sorry posture.
Read Part III: On the Limits of Self-Improvement, Part 3
The trouble with bad habits is that they are mutually reinforcing. And, just as a bank won't lend you money unless you are too rich to need it, exercise is a pastime only for those who are already slender and physically fit. It just isn't so much fun when you have a marked tendency to wheeze and throw up, and a cannonball of a belly sloshing around inside the baggy garments. In my case, most of my bad habits are connected with the only way I know to make a living. In order to keep reading and writing, I need the junky energy that scotch can provide, and the intense short-term concentration that nicotine can help supply. To be crouched over a book or a keyboard, with these conditions of mingled reverie and alertness, is my highest happiness. (Upon having visited the doctor, Jean-Paul Sartre was offered the following alternative: Give up cigarettes and carry on into a quiet old age and a normal death, or keep smoking and have his toes cut off. Then his feet. Then his legs. Assessing his prospects, Sartre told Simone de Beauvoir he "wanted to think it over." He actually did retire his gaspers, but only briefly. Later that year, asked to name the most important thing in his life, he replied, "Everything. Living. Smoking.")
Thus I soon evolved a routine at the Biltmore. A facial, followed by a cocktail and a well-chosen lunch, succeeded by a nap, followed by a brief workout, followed by a massage or wrap, some reading and writing, and then a thoughtfully selected dinner. The rooms and public areas didn't permit smoking, but room service was able to reach my ashtray-furnished patio with creditable speed. I suppose one could easily enough add seaweed and algae and mud (and, on one occasion, another tincture of green in the shape of an Avocado-Citrus Body Wrap, which at least gave me a new and better way of looking like an overripe pear) to one's list of regular addictions. It would be like going to confession in between an exhausting program of sins. You will be glad to hear, however, that I high-mindedly declined the Chardonnay-Clay Body Wrap: it savored too much of yet another method of taking in booze, through the pores. Instead, I opted for a punishing session on the Biltmore's immaculate croquet lawn. As the dolphins and seals gamboled off the beach, and as Chef Frost wielded his skillet with never diminishing brilliance, I felt that I could be very content to go on leading this life, but that each detox only sharpened the appetite for further treats, and that, all things considered, I couldn't afford the weight gain. I also had to admit what I have long secretly known, which is that I positively like stress, arrange to inflict it on myself, and sheer awkwardly away from anybody who tries to promise me a more soothed or relaxed existence. Bad habits have brought me this far: why change such a tried-and-true formula?
I also take the view that it's a mistake to try to look younger than one is, and that the face in particular ought to be the register of a properly lived life. I don't want to look as if I have been piloting the Concorde without a windshield, and I can't imagine whom I would be fooling if I did. However, this did leave the kippered lungs and the grisly teeth, and the liver and various other viscera, leading a life of their own in a kind of balloon that annoyingly preceded me into the dining room. Who was to be boss here? Was it worth getting any new clothes until this question of mastery had been decided? If the war with my outer carapace was to be won, and I was to remain a decisive minister of the interior whose orders could expect to be obeyed, it was clear that the struggle would have to be carried to a new and higher level.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Friday, December 14, 2012
By: Jackie Sebell
Caregivers & Family
Mikey had a stroke as a toddler. He was delayed at standing/walking, has associated reactions in both arms, and was non-verbal until almost 5. He was diagnosed with a-typical cerebral palsy at age 4. In April, 2012, he suffered a TIA at the age of 6. He regressed in speech, fine motor and gross motor skills, and grew increasingly physically exhausted. He's in frequent severe pain due to hypotonia in his legs. He wears afo braces during the day and night splints during the night.
Mikey is an amazing young man who's been through a lot in his life thus far. He's incredibly intelligent and inquisitive and has an amazing heart. We suspect, however are still going through testing, that mitochondrial disease is the cause of his strokes.

Glossary post #7 for "A Toy Box Tale: Recapture the Spark!"
The Toy Box Apprentice & The Guilds
In the story, the Toy Box Apprentice is the player, and a Guild is an organized team of Toy Box Artists. Each player is commissioned to this Toy Box Apprenticeship, playing through the Caretaker's Introduction, discovering the many Shelves of the Library, solving the Puzzle Boxes on Creativi-Toy programming. Players of various levels of talent & skill can form Guilds, participate in the open Forums, follow the works of fellow artisans, present at various Faires and compete in various Tournaments. It's something that the Toy Box Master Artists showed us, that the Toy Box & its Toy Box Door are ideal for collaboration. This is also a growing trend for STEM, to provide problem-solving collaboration projects that students can subsequently demo. Maker Faires are gathering increasing momentum, even getting national attention here in the states. This aspect, for both educational & entertainment/social value to the Toy Box market, makes it beneficial for Guilds to be incorporated into the Disney Infinity game itself. Advanced players can pursue a goal that only a select few will attain - to become a Toy Box Master Artist. In attaining this goal, the player is awarded a great honor from the New Caretaker - the creation of his/her own toy likeness as a Toy Box Townsperson, a Master Artist Avatar, that can be woven into any player's new Toy Box Tales. It's a game-within-a-game that encourages collaboration and the creation of high-quality games.
Guilds of Renown
It has been somewhat problematic for teams of artists to credit one another on a collaborative work. The submission is done by an individual, with info manually added to the description & manually promoted through these forums & on Twitter. A new database for community content could add the social function of teams, of these guilds, and make a game out of it. You'd have the option to submit a Toy Box as an individual, or as part of a team effort. Each Guild can be formed with as little as two players and as many as say twenty-five (this latter number can facilitate the probable max size of an after-school club). One initiates the Guild proposal to a second member, and upon acceptance it's formed. Future members can ask to join or be asked to join. All existing Guild members must accept the proposal for the acceptance. Guilds gain points from their collaborative projects - based on # of Downloads, # of Likes, Tournament wins, etc. A percentage of "build points" from individual Toy Box submissions of every member in the Guild are also added to the pertaining Guild's points. A player would typically join just a single Guild, and there could be some percentage point penalty in leaving to avoid excessive Guild changes. There could be Toy Box block-art heraldry designed by each Guild to help display those Shelves. Guilds could form as a result of clubs formed at libraries or schools, from families & friends in various neighborhoods, or groups of people who meet through social media such as these very Forums. Tournaments & Toy Box TV could feature some competitions only available to Guilds. In addition to Master Artist Avatars, there could be Infinity Flags added with the Heraldry for the "Guilds of Renown" for those Guilds reaching an elite level of quality & production. The Library's Shelving system could include these Guilds of Renown, perhaps even allow players to their favorite Guilds, regardless of their ranking. This would help scale this aspect of the Toy Box that was already a differentiation for the product - friendly competition and sharing of collaborative, artistic, storytelling video game creation. It would make it more fun, and further strengthen the business model.
The Independent Journeymen & The Masters' Missions
Some players might prefer a non-competitive way to collaborate with multiple teams, and that's fine, too. There could be a player-chosen setting of "Independent Journeyman" that would negate Guild bonuses and allow the player to be in multiple Guilds at one time (otherwise players might work the system and join as many Guilds as possible simply to accrue more points). The player could still gain points from individual entries, and each Guild would still earn points from the collaborative projects (and some players might not care about the point system at all) - the depth of the Engine & the Library would allow players to enjoy the game in different ways. In order to foster this family-friendly environment of collaborative building even further, upon achieving the honor of Toy Box Master Artist, the player automatically becomes an Independent Journeyman. The Caretaker encourages every Master Artist to mentor more builders, to collaborate with other Master Artists & young Apprentices alike, joining as many Guilds as they care to join. The negation of Guild bonuses would work both ways - points accrued from individual works of an Independent Journeyman would not feed into the Guilds (otherwise players might work the system to build Guild points primarily on individual works, and miss the point of being assisted by a Master Artist). It's about collaboration in the joyful game of making games.

Clean sweep: Another Eways bids adieu
In his nearly 40 years in the rug trade, Frank Eways has built a reputation as an expert on Oriental rugs. A world-class appraiser and owner of Frank S. Eways Ltd., a rug store off Rt. 33 in Greene County, Eways has appeared on national news programs including the Today Show and 20/20. People seek his expertise on rugs valued at more than a million dollars.
But by late fall this undisputed member of Charlottesville's rug royalty will have abdicated his throne. His successor? Fourth-generation rug purveyor Mark Kambourian, whose family business, M. Kambourian Sons, was founded in 1896 and opened its first Richmond store in 1906.
The time to bow out was right, as was the situation, says Eways, who took over his father's Charlottesville rug business, Salem Eways, in 1967. His two brothers, Munir and Terry, joined him in the business, but eventually the three split, each opening his own separate rug business.
Eways, 66, met the Kambourians early in his career, and the relationship, he says, remains strong.
"The Kambourians have been friends for 40 years," he explains. And the chance to offer the space to a family business "whose reputation is great" was a chance he couldn't pass up.
Though he says he'd had an offer from someone who wanted to buy the business outright– instead of just the lease on the space– he wasn't happy with the way that individual did business.
"I didn't want to leave anything with a bad taste," says Eways, who learned a lesson from the sale of his brother Munir's now-defunct business, Eways Carpet One on Route 29 North near the Antiquers Mall. That new owner, Bob Dumitru, Eways says, damaged the family's reputation– and contributed to his decision to retire.
Though Dumitru did not return the Hook's calls, two of his business dealings were the subject of an April 2004 Fearless Consumer column. One customer dropped off an antique rug only to have it disappear for nine months. When it did resurface, none of the work had been done, though the customer had already paid half the repair fee. The other customer ordered wall-to-wall carpeting, only to learn on the day it was to be installed that it had not even been ordered from the manufacturer. That store closed last April, but Eways says the fall-out continues at his store– an entirely separate entity.
"We're still getting calls," he says. "It's still very frustrating for me. I spent all these years building up a name, and just in that short period of time, this is what happened. At one point we were referred to as the Tiffany's of the Oriental rug business."
Munir Eways declined comment on that situation, except to call it "unfortunate." And while he hadn't heard of his brother's retirement plan, he wished him well. "He's worked very, very hard," Munir says, calling Frank "a good brother."
Eways' other brother, Terry, who owns T.S. Eways on the Downtown Mall, will be the last Eways in the retail rug business. And although, like Munir, he hadn't heard of his brother's plans, he also wished him a happy retirement.
That retirement won't exactly be restful. Eways plans to stay busy cleaning and repairing rugs in a space adjacent to his former store. And he'll continue to appraise Oriental rugs around the world.
Kambourian says he's excited to be expanding into the Charlottesville market– something he'd deferred because of his family's friendship with Eways.
While Kambourian says some of the new inventory will be similar to Eways', there will be a difference.
"We import a lot of our own stuff," Kambourian says, "so we'll have a little broader selection, more countries represented, more emphasis on new rugs, less on antiques."
After the 60-day sale of Eways' inventory, Kambourian says, the business will close down for the remainder of December, a traditionally slow time for the rug business. It will reopen "full force" with the Kambourian name in January.
"We have to make sure everyone in Greene County is happy up here," he laughs.
Frank Eways (second from right) will retire this fall from Oriental rug retail, and Mark Kambourian (far right) will open a new store.

BANGOR, Me. – With just over 11 minutes left and the score tied at 2-2, sophomore midfielder and New Balance Cup Tournament MVP Douglas Silveira (Revere, Mass.) broke the stalemate and gave men's soccer (1-2-1) their first win of the 2012 season and helped them clinch the cup Sunday afternoon over Maine Maritime
The goal marked the second of the week for Silviera, who scored the lone Beacon goal in yesterday's 2-1 loss to Husson. The Revere native's game-winning score was unassisted and capped off a two goal second half for the Beacons. Newcomer Alejandro Lazalde (Monterrey, Mexico) netted his first collegiate goal to give the Beacons a 2-1 lead at the 55:03 mark.
Maine Maritime did manage to tie the game 12 minutes later when Kyle Haslam scored his second goal of the match off of a David Lord assist.
Senior Victory Hugo Costa (Malden, Mass.) got UMass Boston on the scoreboard in just the third minute of the match, which actually tied the game at 1-1. Haslam opened up the contest with his first goal just 1:55 in to the contest.
In goal, senior Reyn Johnson (Mangilao, Guam) put on the gloves and the jersey to take over for senior Brycen Dowd (Mansfield, Mass.). Johnson totaled 10 saves in the contest, while his Maine Maritime counterpart William Trace Lacour totaled 13 stops.
Combined UMass Boston fired off 25 shots, with 16 of those ending up on goal. For Maine Maritime they ended Sunday's contest with 16 shots, 12 of which were on goal. The Beacons recorded the only three corner kicks in the match.
After careful tie breaker calculations; considering all three teams won 1 game each; it was decided that UMass Boston won the tournament, MMA placed 2nd and home host Husson University placed third.
Men's Soccer returns to action on Thursday when they travel to Fitchburg State University for a 7 p.m. non-conference game.

Thank you so much to everyone who left messages on my Facebook page and Twitter account.
I am looking forward to attending the NSNC "Rebound in Motown" Conference in Detroit this week. I will be posting photos. Details of the event can be found at http://www.columnists.com.
If you are a columnist or blogger, check out the entire website, then click on the *Join or Renew* Tab to find out how you can also become a member of the NSNC. Testimonials are about half-way down the page.
Of course, I don't need to explain why networking is so important to you for achieving career goals and enhancing your personal development as a writer. It is one of the main reasons why many people join. It is an invaluable learning experience. Exchanging ideas with other writers will motivate you to get back on top of projects that you might have put aside because you needed mentoring or the information necessary to get your work published or syndicated.
If you are not a writer, but came here today looking for something funny, here goes:
I have been procrastinating mulching my garden and also submitted an Extension Form with the IRS to file my taxes late. True, I enjoy fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit; but messing with earthworms is not something I like to deal with. Plus, I'm allergic to fertilizer. I break out in hives. So, I've been looking at all the limp stuff out in my back yard that require food and water. I am my father's daughter, and Dad could have won the National Sandbagger Championship back in 1955, when he sent "Nothing to Report" on a 3"x5" index card to the IRS because there was no such thing as an Extension Form.
I made coffee and started listening to "Crushed Nuts," a hilarious set of CDs (yes, two of them)by The Bob & Tom Show. I was on Track #28 "Red Flag Accounting," when this article pops up on my laptop about a guy finding 650-year-old treasure in his herb garden click here to read it .
Excuse my lack of typing skills right now, I have five earthworms hanging off my index finger and a beetle just scurried under the "A" key.
