around Missouri
Missouri is home to a group of publicly owned
gristmills which take visitors back to another era
around Missouri
Missouri is home to a group of publicly owned
gristmills which take visitors back to another era
around Missouri
Missouri is home to a group of publicly owned
gristmills which take visitors back to another era
by Jeff
Silence fills the large, dusty
building now, but its not difficult to imagine a time not so long
ago when this place bustled with activity and the clatter of operating
machinery inside competed with sounds of passing horse-drawn wagons and
conversations outside. And always in the background could be heard the
sound of rushing water.
Mill is a little more than a century old and in that time operated
only about 20 years. But before trout fishermen flocked to Montauk State
Park, farmers came from miles around to deliver their corn and wheat crops
to be ground into meal and flour.
As it was at Montauk, the gristmill
was the center of commerce and society in hundreds of places around rural
Missouri which took advantage of the states abundant water to provide
free power to operate milling machinery. But with a fast-changing world
descending on them, most of these early 20th-century mills would be out
of business in the next few decades.
Missouri is fortunate to have
many surviving mills, most of which are in private hands. Some have been
restored and a few of these privately owned mills are open to the public
(always obtain permission before attempting to visit a private mill.)
The state of Missouri and the
federal government own a collection of four restored, water-powered gristmills
which are open to the public and offer visitors a chance to see the workings
of the past.
Montauk Mill is one such mill.
The mill at Montauk
State Park ceased operation in 1927 at the time the area around the
mill and the nearby Current River was bought by the state and opened as
Missouris fourth state park.
Other gems in this group of
publicly owned mills include Dillard
and Bollinger
mills, owned by the state, and Alley
Spring Mill. Alley was once a state park beginning in 1925, but became
federal property in 1971 when it was included in the Ozark National Scenic
Riverways, a national park encompassing the Current and Jacks Fork rivers.
These four mills are fascinating
to historians of the milling process because they retain much of their
original equipment and, in the case of the mills in the Missouri state
park system, still function, allowing visitors to see corn being ground.
In fact, the mill works at Dillard and Bollinger are still water-powered.
While the common romanticized
conception of a gristmill is an overshot mill, which used extremely large
wheels turned by water falling on the wheel from above, most mills in
the Ozarks used less-picturesque, but more efficient, turbines set into
a pit below the mill building.
Water from a stream or spring
is diverted and dumped into the pit from above and spins the turbine.
The turbine powered a variety of machinery through a series of drive shafts
and belts.
The first thing theyd
do is bring the grain in and weigh it, says Jamin Bray, naturalist
at Montauk State Park. Then they would send it to a machine which
used an ancient technology to grind the grain which has been used since
Roman times.
The corn is ground between
two flat stones that dont actually touch each other. Theres
just enough space between them that there is a shearing action, almost
like scissors. They might do that two or three times and then they would
clean it and sift it to make a real fluffy corn meal or a fine flour.
This fall the original grinding
stones at the Montauk Mill were restored and used once again to grind
corn, though this time powered by a tractor rather than the water turbine
that is still in place in the mill. The park has plans to rebuild raceways
from the nearby Current River so the mill can once again operate by water
The oldest mill in this group
is Bollinger,
a massive four-story structure towering over the Whitewater River and
the Burfordville Covered Bridge built alongside in 1868.
The mill was built a year earlier
on the foundation of a previous gristmill burned to the ground in the
Civil War. Bollinger operated commercially until 1948 when its owners
gave it to the Cape Girardeau County Historical Society, which donated
the site to the state park system in the 1960s. The historic site now
features three floors of displays and machinery chronicling decades of
changes in milling technology at the Bollinger Mill.
in Crawford County, is the longest operating mill which remained in business
until 1956. Dillard Mill is the only one of the four that still has all
its original equipment in place and operational. Its a unique experience
for visitors to hear the sounds of the turbine slowly beginning to spin
as water is diverted from the mill pond. These are the same sounds millers
heard here for more than half a century.
One thing todays visitors
to gristmills wont experience is how hazardous the work was. Milling
work was dangerous and unhealthy for several reasons. Chief among the
hazards was the dusty nature of grinding grain. Fine grain dust is extremely
combustible and explosions were common.
One of the most important
jobs of the miller was to go around and make sure all the machines stayed
greased and lubricated so you wouldnt get any sparks, Bray
One of the reasons so few gristmills
survived was that many of them burned to the ground, often because of
dust explosions.
The fine cornmeal and flour
also caused health problems for millers who suffered from a condition
known as white lung, similar to a coal miners black lung. They breathed
in so much fine powder that they developed chronic lung disease.
And if that wasnt bad
enough it was rare for millers to have all their fingers. Back in
those days everything was open around all the machines and belt drives,
Bray says. Can you imagine what this place was like with belts running
around you and machines operating without any kinds of guards or protections?
Though each of these mills
once had towns which sprang up around them, little signs remain of the
other businesses that mill customers relied on for their needs. For farm
families in the early 1900s, a trip to the local gristmill was a busy,
exciting time when people shopped for tools, canned goods or the latest
style in Sunday dresses and caught up on local news with neighbors.
People usually brought
their grain in and left it at the mill and then went to do other things
while it was being ground, says Bray. They would visit the
dry goods store or the blacksmith shop. Usually it was a long wagon ride
to the mill and they would get as much done there as they could.
Changes in technology and lifestyle
in the 1920s and 30s began to spell the end for water-powered gristmills.
Probably one of the biggest changes was improvements in roads and automobiles
which allowed people to drive to nearby towns to buy grocery items including
corn meal and flour and, later, even fresh-baked loaves of bread.
It was no longer necessary
to grow corn and wheat for your own consumption. Soon the gristmills were
no longer needed except in occasional places where they were used to grind
livestock feed. Local mills also began to see more competition from large
industrial mills in Midwestern cities that processed grains far cheaper
than water-powered mills could.
Fortunately, Missourians saw
the value of preserving a few of the remaining water-powered mills in
operating condition so visitors could experience a time when nearly everything
a family relied on came from just a few miles from home. Today these mills
offer just a hint of the past.

J.C. Penney Shopper Reunited With Lost $300
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. For a Montana woman who lost her Christmas shopping money in J.C. Penney, Black Friday sure looked like a bad deal. Carrie McNeese had stashed $300 in a plain envelope, along with a few receipts and her grandchildren's clothing sizes.
Those few clues, combined with a surveillance tape, helped Penney's loss-prevention supervisor identify the shopper who dropped the envelope, and reunite her with her cash. Now, that is a return policy.

When it comes to gaffes, Paul Ryan is no Joe Biden. But he has managed to develop a reputation as a "serial exaggerator," typified by his claim that he had run a marathon in less than three hours. Here is a sampling of Ryan missteps:
An unbelievable marathon time
Paul Ryan is a sports-guy, but when he talked about his marathon-time from over 20 years ago he became a little over-ambitious. Ryan said, he took 2 hours 50-something minutes, which obviously is a very good time. However, the records told that his actual time was over 4 hours. He called his error an "honest mistake." Watch, how he explains his gaffe on CBS.
Errors by the bushel at the Republican convention
Ryan's speech at the RNC was a gift to fact-checkers. It was so full of lies that even FOX News stepped on the fact-check-train. According to them, Ryan's speech "was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech." To review his entire speech, click on the video below.
Take away tax shelters
Mitt Romney uses offshore tax shelters like the Cayman Islands. Paul Ryan might have forgotten that when he made the following proposal in the first interview together with Romney on Sixty Minutes: "What we're saying is take away the tax shelters that are uniquely enjoyed by people in the top tax brackets so they can't shelter as much money from taxation, should lower tax rates for everybody to make America more competitive." Romney's face turned a little shocked, as you can see in the video.
What about these tax loopholes?
The nation is puzzling over Romney/Ryan's tax plan: they want to balance the tax cuts by reducing tax deductions and eliminating loopholes, but, in fact, they struggle when it comes to explaining which loopholes they will eliminate. Check out this Ryan interview with ABC News.
Showing some muscles
Whether this is a judgment error or a sign of political "strength" is in the eye of the beholder. Today, Time magazine published photos of Ryan in his training outfit and a baseball-cap lifting a huge hantel and demonstratively showing his biceps. The pictures were actually taken 10 months ago, when Ryan was nominated for Time's "Person of the Year" lineup. As he didn't make it the photos stayed unused — until now. With tonight's debate nearing, Time decided to publish them.
Abrupt end of an interview
An interview between Ryan and a Michigan local ABC TV reporter ended with an argument. After the reporter asked a provocative question, Ryan responded, "those are your words, not mine." Before he could continue, his spokesman interrupted. Watch for yourself!

As soon as you put the word "financial" in the title of an article, many people click away, assuming that the topic will be expressed in arcane mathematics that requires an MBA to understand.
Because so many people run from any mention of finance, writers walk a fine line between simplifying and misrepresenting financial concepts.
For example, evaluating a stock is not particularly easy and it does involve learning some math, ratios and other homework.
That said, there are many financial concepts that, judging by the piles of articles out there, have been made out to be much harder than they really are.
There are entire books, blogs and tutorials dedicated to budgeting.
Whether you call it a budget, a spending plan, a financial tracking plan or whatever, budgeting simply means being aware of where you are spending money. It's really not that hard to do, and online banking, debit cards and software have made it easier than ever before.
If you don't have that option, you can go old school and collect receipts for every transaction and then tally them up monthly (or weekly or daily if you're feeling keen). Your tally will tell you if more is going out than is coming in. If more is going out, you need to cut somewhere.
If you have extra, set some aside until you have three to six months in easily accessible funds. Once that is done, you can do all those fancy maneuvers such as setting saving goals and so on, but as long as you have a cushion and are spending less than you make, you're in pretty good shape in the short-term.
If you have only one source of income, you can definitely do your own taxes. There are lots of articles and books about odd deductions and credits, but they often end up drifting towards tax benefits for business owners (who are likely paying someone else to do their taxes).
If you don't feel like slogging through the paper copy with a pencil and a calculator, the tax software out there reduces doing your own taxes to a matter of data entry. Some of the software even prompts you to consider deductions you may not personally know about, which are updated yearly according to changes in tax law.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is nowhere near as complicated as it sounds. If you have more debts than assets, estate planning is incredibly easy, as it comes down to a well-thought-out will and enough life insurance to cover your debts and provide for anyone you're leaving behind. Your lawyer comes in at the end to make sure everything is legal, but estate planning is really all about you and your wishes.
For most people, the best thing is to pick up a will kit and work through it before going to a lawyer. To be clear, a will kit shouldn't be the end point of your estate planning, especially if you have children, but it gets the basics out of the way so the lawyer can focus on specifics of your estate.
These include details such as how you would you like your children raised if you die while they're minors and so on. If you have enough assets that estate taxes are a serious worry and you need a gifting strategy or to set up trusts, then you can afford to have a professional estate planner take care of it.
The Bottom Line
The goal of this article is not to minimize the real anxiety that people feel about finances - it is intended to put things into perspective. In reality, all of these things are easier because of advances in software and the free flow of information over the Internet, but their reputation for difficulty hasn't diminished much.
That said, as more people start to use the plethora of tools available, the thousands of books and articles on these topics will look as quaint and outdated as a cell phone that only makes phone calls.

Cookie Jar, Pewter & Ceramic
Match's Convivio Cookie Jar, made from Italian pewter & a high quality ceramic, is handmade in Italy. A beautiful addition to any counter.
- Pewter and Ceramic.
- Handmade in Italy.
Please note: Handmade products have slight variations that are to be expected and are the nature of the product. These variations are not considered flaws, but are part of the desired character of each individual handmade piece.
Care: Pewter tarnishes very slowly and requires almost no maintenance. To clean your pewter hand wash in warm water with a liquid dish soap. Be sure to dry the pewter completely, as water allowed to dry on pewter may cause spots. Any spots that appear can be easily removed by polishing or by gently rubbing the area in small circular motions with very fine "0000" steel wool.

|Short Description
|MATCH Pewter Care: Pewter develops a patina very slowly, and requires almost no maintenance. Should you wish to keep your pewter bright, any good quality metal polish will do. Please be sure to read the label on the polish to confirm it is appropriate for pewter. We prefer Cape Cod Metal Polish. Pewter is a soft metal with a low melting point, and should never be placed in the oven, not even on the lowest setting. Nor should it be placed in a warming drawer or on a warm stove eye. However, hot food can be served in pewter with no problem. It is the steady heat of an oven or warming drawer that can result in partial melting or distortion. Foods with a high level of acidity will discolor pewter if left for an extended period of time (like a dressed salad left overnight). If discoloration is addressed quickly, it can be removed with a good metal polish. Surface scratches can be removed by gently rubbing the area with extra-fine (0000) steel wool in a small, circular motion. When used for food service solid pewter items, as well as pewter & glass items, should be hand washed and hand dried. MATCH stemware and barware must always be washed by hand. Please do not soak these items in hot water or place them in the dishwasher. It will compromise the bond between the crystal and the pewter, and could possibly lead to separation. Both the flatware, and pewter trimmed ceramic dinnerware, are as dishwasher safe as any pewter on the market. When using a dishwasher, we advise using the china or gentle cycle setting, no-heat dry, along with liquid dishwasher detergent. Do not place any MATCH item in a dishwasher if the water is hard. The minerals in hard water will leave discoloring deposits and may pit the pewter. When washing the flatware and pewter trimmed ceramic pieces in a dishwasher, always wait until the pieces have cooled before handling. Metal expands when it is warm, and allowing the pieces to cool will minimize the risk of loosesness or separation. If the pieces are handled while the pewter portion is too warm, looseness or separation can result. MATCH is proud to offer the broadest selection of the highest quality Italian pewter available in the American market, and to sup There are more than a dozen categories in the Match pewter collection; they include almost every piece needed to set and dress the perfect table, an extensive wine and bar collection, desk accessories, picture frames and handsome bath sets. Each piece of Match pewter is an heirloom.

AAG Honors are the highest awards offered by the American Association of Geographers. They are offered annually to recognize outstanding accomplishments by members in research & scholarship, teaching, education, service to the discipline, public service outside academe and for lifetime achievement. Although the AAG and its specialty groups make other important awards (see Grants and Awards), AAG Honors remains among the most prestigious awards in American geography and have been awarded since 1951 (see below for complete list).
Categories of AAG Honors
Nominations are invited from: individual AAG members, specialty groups, affinity groups, departments, and other interested parties. Currently, honors are awarded in several categories, including:
- Distinguished Teaching Honors
- Gilbert F. White Distinguished Public Service Honors
- Ronald F. Abler Distinguished Service Honors
- Gilbert Grosvenor Honors for Geographic Education
- Distinguished Scholarship Honors
- Lifetime Achievement Honors
The AAG Media Achievement Award and the AAG Publication Award are also selected by the AAG Honors Committee.
The citations for awardees as are printed in the AAG Newsletter provide an overview of the scope of the awards.
Nomination Guidelines
Please submit a nominating letter documenting the nominee's contributions to and impact on geography in the specific Honors category for which they are being nominated, and the candidate's CV to firstname.lastname@example.com with "AAG Honors" in the subject line to ensure that the message is properly and swiftly processed. Digital nominations are preferred, and nomination materials that are emailed as a single attachment as an Adobe Acrobat pdf file are greatly appreciated. Please indicate the category of award for which the nominee should be considered. Although letters of support are not required for a nomination, they are strongly recommended. Most nomination dossiers include 3-5 letters documenting the nominee's contributions to and impact on geography in the specific Honors category for which they are being nominated.
The nominations are reviewed by a committee comprised of at least two members who have previously received honors. A final slate of nominees is presented to the AAG Council at its annual Fall meeting. The names put forward to the Council are accompanied by an award citation indicating the contribution which forms the basis of the proposed award. The final decision for awarding AAG Honors rests with the Council.
Nominations for these awards are solicited in late spring and an announcement in published in the AAG Newsletter, along with electronic distribution to specialty and affinity groups, department chairs, and other interested parties.
In making a nomination, please be aware that under current guidelines:
No more than eight individuals may be awarded AAG Honors in a single year. However, depending on the pool of nominees, fewer than eight awards are sometimes made.
Normally only one award is made annually in each category, although more than one is permitted. However, there is no requirement to make an award in every category if there are insufficient nominations.
Nominees must be AAG members if they are residents of the United States; if they reside elsewhere the membership requirement is waived. In some cases professionals from other disciplines or professions are eligible for consideration.
Previous honorees (see list below) may be nominated for a second AAG honor but, if nominated again, the nomination must be for distinction achieved since their first awards.
The contributions of some nominees may span two or more of the award categories. In this situation, nominators may suggest more than one category for the award. The final decision of award category rests, however, with the Council.
AAG Honors are not awarded posthumously unless an honoree dies after the Council has voted on the award.
A nominee can be renominated if the nominee is not awarded AAG Honors in a given year. Nomination dossiers are not automatically carried forward from year to year.
Committee for 2021 Honors
The AAG Honors Committee is elected by the AAG Membership. The 2021 elected committee is comprised of: Julie A. Silva, University of Maryland College Park (Chair); Amy Glasmeier, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Ronald Hagleman, III, Texas State University; Richard Kujawa, St. Michael's College; Andrew Sluyter, Louisiana State University; and Julie Winkler, Michigan State University.

@myrsky I pm'ed you sometime ago, not heard back. I am sure we can resolve your issue.@tvandorOk. And thanks for the info about IE. in win 10 (did you try Edge too?). You should all use firefox anyway, its better -Nah I may need to address the browser issue next time around.
Hi Duke and Zaxon... or... has anyone gotten an M4 wifi card with microsdcard working togethrr with a Zaxon 6128 floppy emulator with usb stick?
Yes utopia should be after M4 rom or it'll catch the RSX for |era
Lastly you could mount M4 rom after AMSDOS and code a small app to copy stuff from floppy to sd.
As for browser, use firefox. Ie. chrome will ignore my slot paramters so all uploads end in rom 0 (overwriting basic and therefore crashing!).
After finishing the SD card support I went back to the network part and added some additional stuff: As the M4 can of course only handle one command at the same time, I had to take care, that inside the SymbOS multitasking environment I don't fire a second command until another one isn't finished. So SD card access and network access shouldn't disturb each other. This is fixed now. Currently it is solved more or less in a rude way (locking interrupts), but I hope I can have a better solution later by using semaphores.Anyway some more things have been fixed, and here you see, how you can download the CPCWiki.eu mainpage with your Amstrad CPC + M4:[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7CsIOq1_qY[/youtube]I did a domain lookup with NSLOOKUP just for testing before downloading the startpage with WGET and displaying it with the TYPE command.There are still some nasty bugs which I want to fix until releasing a new Beta version, but such a release especially for the M4 version should happen very soon.CU,Prodatron
I do wonder why override C though and not let that go to the RAM Disc because then the RAM Disc would at least survive the reset between switching M4 on and off. Pitty the RAM Disc wasn't aliased as |M though also as that would have been better than |C - for when we have another dozen drives in future...
I will try utopia in 6 and M4 in 5 and see what I get, utopia's |load and |medit are useful for now.I did try M4 rom at position 8 and it just crashed my machine (6128plus). Luckily the Wifi board still worked so i could just set it back to 6 or 7. The way the current ROM is coded overwriding A and C it seems it is just as compatible in slot 6 or 7. I do wonder why override C though and not let that go to the RAM Disc because then the RAM Disc would at least survive the reset between switching M4 on and off. Pitty the RAM Disc wasn't aliased as |M though also as that would have been better than |C - for when we have another dozen drives in future...Interesting Chrome behaviour... thanks. Actually i didn't think they are faults of the M4 board, more I don't think the CPC community is used to making their things work together because in the past we never had such cool hardware. The same for downloads - what is the point of zipping everything when we download a DSK file that is ZIPped it doesn't really help CPC owners trying to fetch stuff... I guess soon i will need to put an unZIPper that works with M4 onto ROM.Regarding slots 32-63... in the webserver, i set the starting ROM to 32 and that is it? I am guessing just the slot numbers don't renumber and in my head I add 32 to each?As Richard who created X-MEM said, it is a pitty to waste his 32 ROM slots. Maybe we need to modify CPC startup to scan all 64 ROMs now instead of 32 only. The 2 boards work really well together otherwise...Needed: 1. X-Mem RAM Disc aliased to |M and working when M4 ROM is enabled. 2. CPC to scan 64 ROMs on startup if possible. 3. And from the ROMan 2.0 author Syx? Being able to see files on the SD Card of a M4 board. 4. Zaxon's USB drive B board to work in parallel with M4 card - seems to be some type of ROM conflict, not a hardware one. 5. people to share RAM in a con-conflicting way, and Mouse, and Sound Card... these I believe will come, if adopted though is another thing... can only hope.
I think I'm late, I wish again to see another list to sign up.
I think that SYMBOS with M4 support could be comercial (asking a small amount 5-10 to have m4 support). It could be a good hint for Podatron to continue support for M4. Of cource i dont know what is podatron opinion.
Also i have a question for Symbos : how memory do why need ? 128k or more?
I can confirm that symbos does indeed allow access to the floppy drives, so when prodatron releases the m4 storage/WiFi version I see no reason why copying won't work.
My favourite is the albireo, which provides microsd card storage as well as a USB controller. I hope that this is the next card @Prodatron supports in Symbos, at least a mouse on the USB socket
Yes, you have full floppy access in SymbOS when using the M4 as well, so you can transfer all data between Amsdos discs and the FAT32 SD card of the M4Board.There is no choice at the moment, an Albireo USB mouse driver is really required, if you replaced the SYMBiFACE II with the M4Board, X-MEM etc...
Technical question:I have copy some files/directories from my PC to the SD-Card, example:"Computing with the Amstrad 1988" (Directory)"Misc Group Demos" (Directory)"Odiesoft Games - Reaktor (1988)" (File)The "CAT" on my Amstrad shows me:"COMPUT~1""Misc Group Demos""ODIESO~1"I am suprised of "Misc Group Demos" - why the Amstrad don't display "MISC G~1"?

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is now a participant in the
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) program. VINE is an
anonymous service provided at no cost to the public for the purpose of
providing notification when certain changes occur to an inmate's custody
status. This service has been introduced in San Diego County in part
through a grant from the California State Sheriff's Association.
Users are able to register an e-mail address and/or telephone numbers in
order to be notified when an inmate is released, is pending release (for
sentenced inmates with scheduled release dates), or when transferred to a
facility in another county or state prison.
How to Register with VINE
To take advantage of this system:
You may also register by calling VINE toll-free at (877) 411-5588, or
by going directly to the VINE web site.
On November 4, 2008, the voters of the State of California approved
Proposition 9, the Victims' Bill of Rights Act of 2008: Marsy's Law.
This measure amended the California Constitution to provide certain
rights to crime victims.
The rights described in Marsy's Law involve many different entities
within the criminal justice system. The San Diego County Sheriff's
Department is able to help meet these rights as they relate to
defendants in Sheriff's custody. Information relating to pending legal proceedings (Marsy's
Rights #7 and #8) can be found by visiting our Who's in Jail site,
searching for the inmate, and noting any pending court appearances
listed at the bottom of the inmate's page.
To register for notifications regarding an inmate's custody status (Marsy's
right #12), visit Vinelink and follow the instructions described above.
For more information about Marsy's law, visit the following:
The San Diego County District Attorney offers an online resource providing information about a defendant's pending court appearance. You
can search by last name or court case number. Case numbers are generally available near the bottom of the inmate's page on our Who's in Jail
Additional assistance for victims of crime may be obtained by contacting the
San Diego County District Attorney's Office (619) 531-4041 and/or State of California.

Pizza Hut: Now Available On Your Xbox 360
Need I say more? Because this quote from Pizza Hut's chief marketing officer pretty much covers it...
With today's avid gamers and busy modern families gathering around their gaming consoles as much as they gather around a dinner table, we felt this was a natural next step for Pizza Hut as we continue to own the digital ordering experience for pizza lovers everywhere.
Before you go ahead and get yourself in too much of a tizzy, keep in mind that—for now, at least—it's still a whole lot easier to pause your game/movie to place an order on one of the other myriad devices you undoubtedly possess than it is to quit the program, switch to the Pizza Hut app, and then launch your original activity all over again. This article from Forbes does a pretty good job of detailing the concept's downsides.
Then again, I guess if your smartphone AND your laptop AND your tablet all simultaneously die and your claw reacher just can't seem to get a firm grip on that charger across the room, and you're really settled into the cozy butt imprint on your couch, then...sure? I guess this makes sense? Anyone out there feeling amped about this particular development?

Your Child's Immunizations: Hepatitis A Vaccine (HepA)
The hepatitis A virus (HAV) causes fever, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice, and can lead to community-wide epidemics. Childcare centers are a common site of outbreaks.
Immunization Schedule
The vaccine is recommended for children 12–23 months old, followed by a second dose 6–18 months later.
The vaccine also is recommended for older kids and adults who are at high risk for the disease. This includes people who live in, travel to, or adopt children from locations with high rates of HAV; people with clotting disorders; and people with chronic liver disease. It also can be given to anyone who wants immunity to the disease.
The HAV vaccine also is useful for staff of childcare facilities or schools where they may be at risk of exposure. If you plan to travel, talk to your doctor in advance so you and your family have time to get any needed immunizations.
Why the Vaccine Is Recommended
Besides protecting the individual child, vaccination against HAV can help prevent epidemics. Some infected kids do not have any symptoms, but can still spread the virus to others. Having many young kids vaccinated against HAV can limit the spread of the disease in a community.
Possible Risks
Side effects are usually mild fever; and tenderness, swelling, and redness at the site of the injection. Allergic reactions to the vaccine are rare.
When to Delay or Avoid Immunization
The vaccine is not recommended if your child:
- is currently sick, although simple colds or other minor illnesses should not prevent immunization
- had a severe allergic reaction to the first dose of hepatitis A vaccine or has a latex allergy
Caring for Your Child After Immunization
Your child may have fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. For pain and fever, check with your doctor to see if you can give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and to find out the appropriate dose.
When to Call the Doctor
- Call if you aren't sure if the vaccine should be postponed or avoided.
- Call if there are problems after the immunization.

I am currently using Windows 7, TeXLive2011, and TeXworks 0.4.3.
I want to put all temporary files in
tmp directory located in the same working directory as the
.tex file. But, I want the final
.tex file, not in
tmp directory.
I did the following:
pdflatex -synctex=1 -output-directory=tmp foo.tex
It put all temporary files in
tmp directory, but also
foo.pdf. So, I created a batch file to copy
foo.pdf from
tmpdirectory to the working directory.
:: %1 = tex file basename (without extension)
:: %2 = working directory
:: remove quotes in the basename tossed by TeXworks
for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%1') do set basename=%%~a
:: remove spaces in the basename tossed by TeXworks
set basename=%basename: =%
:: change / to \ in the directory name tossed by TeXworks
set dirname=%2
set dirname=%dirname:/=\%
:: create tmp directory if not exist
IF NOT EXIST %dirname%\tmp mkdir %dirname%\tmp
pdflatex -synctex=1 -output-directory=tmp %basename%.tex
:: open pdf in tmp so that synctex works in TeXworks
texworks %dirname%\tmp\%basename%.pdf
copy %dirname%\tmp\%basename%.pdf %dirname%\%basename%.pdf
But I have to open
foo.pdf in
tmp to make the forward/inverse search work in TeXworks. This works good enough to me, except one thing.
After executing the above batch file, TeXworks opens two windows: one for
foo.tex, one for
tmp\foo.pdf. Inverse search from
tmp\foo.pdf to
foo.tex works good, but if I do
Ctrl+click in
foo.tex, it opens
foo.pdf, but synchronizes with
tmp\foo.pdf. Of course,
foo.tex does not synchronize with
foo.pdf, because sync file is written for
If I do not copy
tmp\foo.pdf to
foo.pdf in the original working directory, it works well, because there is no
foo.pdf that TeXworks can open.
Would there be any workaround for this?

For a 27-year-old, Robert Terrell Haskins has racked up a pretty lengthy rap sheet consisting largely of sexual assaults. His latest day in court June 28 resulted in his lengthiest sentence: 25 years on two counts of forcible sodomy of a minor. Yet some are wondering if that's enough.
Haskins began his notorious career on December 30, 2002, as the Greenleaf Attacker. He knocked down a 34-year-old mother who was in the park with her toddler, and told police he intended to have sexual relations with her; but when she fought him off and screamed, he fled.
In court a year later, police were outraged that instead of a felony attempted rape conviction, an out-of-town judge convicted him of misdemeanor sexual battery and sentenced Haskins to six months time served.
He picked up another misdemeanor sexual battery conviction for grabbing the buttocks of a female jogger in February 2003 on Locust Avenue, and almost immediately after his release from jail in October 2003, he allegedly chased another woman down that same street.
In 2005, he followed a woman who lived on Little High Street several times, asked to use her bathroom, kissed her, then attempted to break into her house, and stole her purse and a laptop, for which he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.
Also in 2003, he began his two-year molestation of an eight-year-old boy, who was a neighbor. The victim, now 17, contacted police in 2010, and Haskins was charged with five counts of forcible sodomy and one count of aggravated sexual battery.
Haskins' attorney, David Eustis, told the judge his client has developmental delays and an IQ of 55, Tasha Kates reports in the Daily Progress.
Albemarle Sheriff Chip Harding, who was a Charlottesville police officer when Haskins began his escalating attacks, calls him a "serial sexual predator" who has impulses he can't control. And without treatment, Harding says in his 38 years in the justice system, "I've not heard of a lot of success."
If Haskins serves 85 percent of his sentence, he'll be released when he's 48, according to Harding's calculations. "I would worry less if he was 70 when he comes out," says Harding. "I'm not comfortable with a 50-year-old serial sexual predator."
However, according to a source familiar with the case, once he serves his sentence, Haskins could face the possibility of civil commitment under Virginia's Sexually Violent Predator Act.Read more on: robert haskins

For his own good and that of society he should be committed to life in an institution that is humane. These people have very little hope of rehabilitation, but they are not animals and must be treated as mentally ill.
Wonder if they profile when selecting your roomy in prison. Just the free sex thing is enough to keep me from doing anything to get thrown in the clink.
He should have been locked up for good years ago. He is sick
Correct, Patrick. But everybody is too busy making excuses for his behavior and giving him a dozen second chances. Developmental delays, an IQ of 55, impulses he can't control, etc...
He can not control certain "impulses" . The state can control those impulses . Medical procedures can alter him making those problems non existant . It seems more humane to proceed accordingly so he can serve his sentenance and be released as a new modified person able to live his life . He has done dispicable things but there are more dangerous people in society and more known dangerous being released from prisons . A sense of fairness is required here and the courage to fix him .
Do they still do lobotomies? I know castration is out. The latest victim has the Greenleaf Park judge to thank for his trauma. Well done judge. Karma is a b*&%$ .
Priority should be protecting the rest of society from a person like that. Whether its life in an institution or lethal injection, whatever it takes. Its just like an animal with rabies, keep harm from coming to others.
How can the state kill someone and not take a lesser measure of fixing this person . Some compare him to an animal but animals are treated/altered medically so they will not be a threat to others . Kill someone or lock them away until death seems acceptable but a humane common sense measure of fixing is dismissed for some unknown mysterious reason .This person is not like an animal with rabies .He could probably be managed in society by close monitoring,drugs,and counselling . He could be employed in a program for slow learners and actually contribute to the best of his ability .There are more realistic options for him at age 48 than condemming him life in prison .Twenty five years should be sufficient penalty . People commiting violent crimes including homicide with weapons often get off with less punishment.
I thought there was something fishy with this story . The Va Sexual Violent Preditor Act doesn't become applicable until 10 months prior to a scheduled release . The cause for concern is therefore somewhat premature as regards to Mr Haskins . In the year 2032 perhaps would be a more appropriate release date of such article with due regard to his progress from 2011 through to 2032 .Progress in systematic fixing such persons may be available by then . In the interm due calm folks !
NancyDrew: "they are not animals..."
In a literal sense, no, they are not, but there are animals that act more civilized than people like Haskins. Repeat offender, oh, he must be mentally ill, or wait, he has a low IQ. None of these things dismisses behavior like this. He should be locked up away from people for the rest of his life. He has been given chance after chance and his crimes get more sadistic.

You are still jumping the gun . There is provision by law for an indeterminate incaraction in penal or mental health facilities ,however,the guestion is not addressed until 10 months prior to scheduled release . Blood thirsty types like the ones wanting Casey Anthony put to death and Robert Haskins here put into the next worst situation need to rethink their thinking . In countries where death penalties are abolished and humane treatment of offenders is adhered to murder rates and other horrific crimes decrease .Individual cases are also different . No two cases are the same . This is not an intelligent person thinking he is smarter than the law and everyone else , knowing right from wrong but still doing wrong . This poor soul has been deproved at birth and i doubt he knows right from wrong on many basic issues . To glibly dismiss him to the rest of his life behind bars is an injustice .Thankfully there is a procedure and panel that might be invoked in 2032 and not a peanut gallery ........
The real criminals here are those in society who said to give him a second and third chance when all the facts were obviously in. We need to accept that there are those among us who are defective and need to be kept away from an envrionment where they can injure others.
If that is a mental institution or a chain gang the first obligation is to future victims.
Anyone so naive as to think we are all redeemable should have to let him sleep at their house for a few months.
Just because a person might not want someone sleeping in their house is not the litmus test for locking them away for life . People have a wide set of criteria for whom they may have in their home or who they may befriend . Some among us are defective . I suggest there are no perfect people among us . This particular person was born with numerous strikes against him and has not done well . Proper intervention much sooner should have saved his victims and him from himself .He has a long time until 2032 to get straightened out ,there shouldn't be a media spectacle prejuding his disposition until that date has arrived .I am not comfortable with a sheriff whipping up public hysteria against someone 21 years before their sentence is served . He should stick to his duties and leave the prejudice baiting to the likes of Tot Mom Nancy Grace or Oink from Oink On Crime . They both like to pig out on personal financial gain while smearing ,smearing, and smearing .
Agreed Frank! However, with media hype and the internet as a form of information, just about everyone lives in fear these days. So sad, I remember a time that things like this were just not heard of or very few and far between. I guess it was there, we just didn't hear about it...ignorance was such bliss.
It is nothing but a filthy beast and deserves nothing less than death. Defective products are thrown away or recycled. This ... animal ... should be castrated or shot on public television, prime time, and broadcast nationally.
Yes he is defective and can't control certain impulses . Putting him in prison 10 ,25 ,or 50 years is not a cure . He can't control those impulses ,therefore,he is not responsable for his crimes . He should be fixed now and released under supervision . Bullying the state into shooting him for their entertainment on television will not play well on the world stage . Soon the state would run out of actors to play the shootee and folks would be clamoring for shooting people who litter,people who J-walk ,and people whose dog pisses on their neighbours lawn .
Wonderful logical fallacy. It's called "Slippery Slope" and it doesn't fly.
Punishment worked better when it was cruel and unusual. Though I do agree with one of your points... putting that thing in jail is no cure. Though I don't believe with the bleeding heart "It can't control those impulses" argument. I call "grass recycled through the digestive system of a male bovine." No, because if that argument is believed and it is put in jail, I have to pay for it. It's cheaper for the bullet, or the rope.
The ultimate punishement of death penalty doesn't work . Countries who have dispensed with it have reduced murder rates from that point . The state is no longer killing plus reduced citizen murder rate equates to a net net reduction in humans taking the life of others . Much more civilized enviornment within which to humanly deal with crime prevention and remedial actions . Refuge to the slippery slope idea is just an act of denial by a mindset at minimum that is clearly already near or at the bottom of the slope . To value money above life and want those killed that require to be maintained by the state is symtymetic of being in the cesspool @ the bottom of the moral slope .To add to and confirm this morbid state of mind some might want to watch for their own entertainment on TV . As a desciple of fallacious doctrine no doubt the lemmings who fall for turning back the clock to barbarianism read themself to sleep with Mein Kamph or Daffy Kadaffy's Green Book .
Ever wondered why Libya is the wealthiest nation in Africa, threatening to turn the tables on the control structure of the globalists? Ever wonder why the establishment media owned by the globalists are making up outright lies about the leader of Libya and dropping compassion on the people of Libya from predator drones? Gee wiz, what's Gadhaffi have to do with child molestation? Oh, wait. The media...
Local law enforcement officers and prosecutors told me it is perfectly legal for a father to put his fingers up his three year old's rectum and into his colon making him choke and black out and have nightmares about his father. That's not child sodomy, just ask Denise Lunsford or Greg Jenkins. I don't know if Greg will admit putting things up his kids arse to you, but he admitted it to me. I wouldn't make that up.
It is not a lie that Kadaffy has let his thugs run wild against the citizens of Libya commiting murder,genocide ,sex crimes etc . The reference to him was as an example of crimes by the state against it's citizens . Note that Chanaqua is advocating state sponsered crime against Mr Haskin .
Frank, I understand your point of view. However, this man is a serial sexual predator. Given his limitatioins, the chances of him being rehabilitated are very slim. I too, believe that SERIAL predators should be put away (for life) and for those committing the most heinous assaults the death penalty should be an option. It's easy to say, "let's see by 2032 if he has rehabilitated himself" and consider releasing him back into society when you are not a potential victim. Sexual assault is very traumatizing to its victims and takes a long time to recover from, if at all. I think it is too great of a risk to the safety and well-being of the women (and young boys) in the Charlottesville community to have a let's wait and see attitude. Look at it from a different perspective. Are you willing to take that chance with your wife, daughter/son, and/or grandchildren and have this man as your neighbor? Unfortunately, everyone can not be rehabilitated, and that has been proven countless times. Just ask the victims or their families.
It is not easy to say wait until 2032 , it is the law to wait until then . The indeterminate provisions do not kick in until then . The general point of view is to lock him up for life or kill him . Why the revulsion against actually fixing him medically ? That seems to be a more sensable and humane approach for all parties . If his uncontrollable urges were expunged the public safety factor would be satisfactorly addressed and the penalty factor would be irrelevant . Fix him ,release him and move on to confront currant dangerous offenders .
Mein Kampf (at least spell it right) was a horrible read, honestly. Read like the ramblings of a crazy meth addict ... oh wait... The Green Book is even worse. And I have wonderfully high moral standards. Just not for:
1) Sub-human and defective animals that have proven, THROUGH PAST HISTORY, zero chance at rehabilitation.
We are only aware of the tip of the iceberg of sexual predators who violate children . Strangers who are serial offenders and family who commit incest are also quite prevelant . Many of the latter are never discovered but are otherwise considered to have wonderfully high moral standards . They all can't be locked for life up or killed .In any event such practice of killing them puts everyone else in lower category than the perp. by the action itself . Sure killing them is a natural knee jerk reaction to express horror of the offense against the sicko but not the civilized thing to do.

Came here for aerial yoga class for the first time. The space and ambiance are serene and beautiful...welcoming, and feel at home.
Ariella is so great to be with. She's fun, warm, and a joy to be around, especially while floating in one of her hammocks. She made me feel very comfortable for my first class.
I highly recommend Grey Owl as a place to practice Mind-Body connection. As an integrative holistic doctor, I've been looking for a place to take on aerial yoga...and Grey Owl definitely delivered.
I am coming back for sure.

The Marlins have fired manager Ozzie Guillen, reports everybody, after a hilarious 69-93 season that included a five-game suspension, a feud with his closer, and a premature reality-show cancellation, and fell short of everyone's expectations. The Marlins were apparently unaware of Guillen's body of work in Chicago. On one hand, this is too bad, because the Marlins—who have done their part to provide us with compelling managers, such as 80-year-old Jack McKeon—will almost assuredly hire someone serious and boring to replace Ozzie. (The players presumably don't want this. Pitcher Ricky Nolasco tweeted "U gotta b fuckin shitting me" before deleting it.) But on the other hand, who cares? Fuck the Marlins.

German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.

Orange cheese-tart
I didn't plan to make this cake at all, what I did plan was apple tart with apricot jelly... Well, sometimes I just change my mind, especially while experimenting in the kitchen :-) The result is interesting, refreshing and citrusy! :-) If you don't like the strong orange aroma, you can replace them with any soft and sweet fruit: peaches, pears, and apricots should do fine!

Setting up Joomla! on Compute Engine
Contributed by Google employees.
Get Joomla! running on a virtual machine instance on Compute Engine easily in just a few minutes. Follow the detailed tutorial to configure Joomla! on a Debian virtual machine instance with the LAMP stack installed and root access.
- Setting up the virtual machine
- Downloading Joomla!
- Setting up the database
- Running the web-based setup
- Viewing your Joomla! site
- Sending email from Joomla!
Setting up the virtual machine
First, automatically deploy the LAMP development stack by using Cloud Launcher.
When done, make a note of the MySQL administrator password. You can always return to the Click to Deploy page in the Cloud Console to see the password or any other deployment information at any time.
Next, open port 80 to allow HTTP traffic to your server. Follow these steps:
- View your virtual machine instances in the Compute Engine instances page.
- In the External IP column, click the external IP address for your LAMP server name.
- In the dialog box that opens, select the Allow HTTP traffic check box.
- Click Apply to close the dialog box.
Downloading Joomla!
Download the Joomla! package file to your virtual machine instance, unpack the files, and change the required ownership and permissions settings.
Use the Cloud Console to connect to your virtual machine instance over SSH.
In the SSH console window, change directory to the web root.
cd /var/www/html
Remove the default index.html file. This step will leave a robots.txt file.
sudo rm index.html
Enter the following command to download the package for Joomla! version 3.3.6.
sudo wget http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/19822/161255/Joomla_3.3.6-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
If you want to use a different version, you can find the links to available versions on the JoomlaCode page.
Extract the files from the archive that you downloaded.
sudo tar -xvzf Joomla_VERSION-Stable-Full_Package.tar.gz
VERSIONwith the version of Joomla! that you downloaded.
Change the ownership of the web server root directory so that Apache can access files.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
Change the permissions on the files and directories. These settings enable owners to read and write files and to read, write, and execute in the directories. Non-owners can read files and and read and execute in the directories.
sudo find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; sudo find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
Setting up the database
Create a MySQL database for Joomla! and then grant permissions to a non-root user account that Joomla! can use to access the database. You can see MySQL administrator password on the Click to Deploy setup page after your LAMP stack is deployed.
Create the new database. For example, you can name the database "joomla".
mysqladmin -u root -p create joomla
Log in to the MySQL console. Enter the MySQL administrator password, when prompted.
mysql -u root -p
Set the permissions on the database for the MySQL user account used by Joomla!.
GRANT ALL ON YOUR_DATABASE_NAME.* TO 'YOUR_USERNAME'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
YOUR_USERNAME, and
YOUR_PASSWORDwith your values.
Exit the MySQL console.
Running the web-based setup
You can complete the Joomla! setup in your browser.
- Browse to the Joomla! setup page by entering the external IP address for your site. Alternatively, you can click the IP address link for your virtual machine instance in the virtual machine instance in the Cloud Console.
- Enter the required information on the Configuration tab and then click Next.
- On the Database tab, enter the information about the MySQL account that you previously created. Be sure to use the same account name, password, and database name that you provided when you set the database permissions. Click Next when you're done.
- On the Overview tab, select an option for sample data. For a production site, you'll probably want to accept the default value of None.
- In the Email configuration setting, click Yes if you want Joomla! to send you an email containing your site settings.
- To complete the setup, click Install.
- When the setup is done, click Remove installation folder to clean up the setup files.
Viewing your Joomla! site
You can browse to your Joomla! site by entering the IP address for your site. Alternatively, you can click the external IP address link for your virtual machine instance in the Cloud Console.
Sending email from Joomla!
Google Compute Engine doesn't allow outbound connections on ports 25, 465, and 587. To send email from your instances, you must use a partner service, such as SendGrid. SendGrid offers customers of Google Compute Engine free or paid packages with costs that vary by monthly email volume.
Getting a SendGrid account
Use SendGrid's Google partner page to create an account. Note that Google will be compensated for customers who sign up for a paid package.
For more details about sending email, see Sending Email from an Instance.
Configuring Joomla! to use SendGrid
Use the Joomla! control panel to configure email settings in Joomla!.
- To browse to the control panel, enter your site's external IP address and
/administratorto the URL. You might need to log in.
- In the left-side navigation menu, click Global Configuration.
- In the Mail Settings section, verify that Send mail is set to Yes.
- In the Mailer list, select SMTP.
- Change From email to contain a valid email address from your site's domain.
- In SMTP Authentication select Yes.
- In SMTP Port enter
- Enter the username and password for your SendGrid account.
- In SMTP Host enter
- Click Save & Close.
Sending a test email
You can send an email from Joomla! to test your SendGrid integration. You must create a user and then send a private message to the user.
- In the Joomla! control panel main page, in the left-side navigation, click User Manager.
- On the User Manager page, click New.
- Use the form to provide details about the user. The email address must be different from the one you used for your administrator account.
- On the Assigned User Groups tab, select Administrator.
- Click Save & Close.
- In the menu bar, select Components > Messaging > New Private Message.
- For Recipient, click the button and then select the new user that you added previously.
- Enter a subject and a message and then click Send.
If sending the email fails, log in to SendGrid website and verify that your SendGrid account is active. It's possible that activating the account can take some time. You can also check SendGrid's email activity page to see whether your email was blocked for some reason.
Next steps
- Set up a host name for your website.
- Read the Joomla documentation.
- Try out other Google Cloud features. Have a look at the tutorials.

really old threads should be closed, anyway.
a simple Random type button to add to the menu bar.
Perhaps it could be somewhat user defined. For example, if I want to always exclude a certain topic (say the programming schools for example), then I could set it to exclude that. For many threads, it doesn't get visited because it is not something most are interested in. Ideally, the way I would want to see it is each person has a weighting scheme attached for each broad area of the forum. They can then change the weights so some areas pop up more often, and some don't pop up at all. So I could set, for example, the Living Room to show old threads 40% of the time, Reviews 30% of the time, Coding Snacks 10% of the time, and DC Website Help 20%. Then I could set the rest to 0% and ensure I only see old threads that I would deem generally relevant to what I was interested in. Just a thought....-steeladept (January 27, 2010, 10:55 AM)

Move over, divorce. Unmarried mom and dad + kids = the new formula for today's American family. The percentage of first births to women living with a male partner jumped from 12 percent in 2002 to 22 percent in 2010, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Last year, research out of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia found that kids today are twice as likely to have unmarried parents living together than divorced ones. "Divorce used to be the biggest issue facing kids, when in fact, having cohabiting parents is the more common scenario," says W. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project.
In our own informal poll of unmarried Parenting readers, money–or lack thereof–was cited as the main reason why they haven't gotten hitched, despite having kids. (One respondent put it this way: "We chose a mortgage over a reception.") Others said that in a society where marriage is so devalued, they see no point in getting hitched in the first place. "We have an 11-month-old son, and we are so happy it should be illegal," said another respondent. "If and when [we decide to get married], absolutely nothing would change. And I'm a wedding planner!"
Plus, cohabiting isn't as much of a taboo as it was 40 years ago. Look no further than the pages of any celebrity weekly for proof: from Angelina and Brad (OK, fine, so they're finally engaged) to Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts to Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, living together with kids is starting to seems downright traditional.
Okay, so more families are choosing to live ring-free. Is this a good thing? Common sense tells us that a happily unmarried parental unit is certainly better than an unhappily married one, but research says that cohabitation is much less stable than marriage. The National Marriage Project report found two-thirds of kids will see their cohabitating parents break up by age 12, while only one-quarter of married-before-children parents will divorce. "Cohabiting parents tend to be more ambivalent, which can lead to instability in the relationship," says Margaret Owen, Ph.D., director of the Center for Children and Families at the University of Texas, Dallas. "Perhaps this ambivalence is a factor in their decision to live together rather than get married in the first place."
Realistically, marriage is not always the most attractive option. "We live in a low-commitment culture that's focused on instant gratification," says Wilcox." He likens marriage to the effort of maintaining a healthy diet. "Of course, your health is going to improve over the long-term, but in the moment, that salad may be less appealing than a stop at the McDonald's drive-thru."
But Wilcox does concede that "any relationship built on love and respect will thrive. And while the odds may be stacked more in favor of marriage, plenty of cohabitating couples live happily ever after without tying the knot." Or should we say, "tying the not"?
