I'm trying something new this week that will hopefully become a regular feature. Too often I read some really interesting blog post or news snippet and think to myself, "Gosh, the readers at Classic-Horror would dig this," only to be waylaid by the follow-up, "Yeah, but think of all the text regurgitation you'll have to do just to make it a proper news story." The actual news copy is the part I struggle with the most, so instead, I'm doing a weekly round-up of links to posts that I find noteworthy.(read more...)

Winner: Cisco
Ruckus Wireless has been a buzzed-about upstart in enterprise wireless networking for years, and despite narrowly losing this year's overall SMB Networking Hardware category to Cisco, put up quite a showing in the ARC for the second year in a row, beating Cisco in the product innovation and partnership subcategories.
2012 Annual Report Card Home Page |
Ruckus' widest margin of victory over rival Cisco came in product compatibility and ease of integration. Cisco, however, pulled well ahead of Ruckus in areas such as quality of field management and training, suggesting that it'll take a lot more from Ruckus to counter Cisco's mighty channel support apparatus. Ruckus also won the SMB Hardware category outright in 2011, with Cisco ranking fifth. That speaks volumes not only about Ruckus' continued market penetration but also about Cisco's comeback from a prior year.
"We've kept at it and we're going to continue to [find ways] to win and get new opportunities for our partners," said Ron Gill, Ruckus vice president of Americas Enterprise Sales.
On Oct. 5, Ruckus confirmed long-awaited plans for an IPO, filing a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the filing, Ruckus posted $6.2 million in profit for the first six months of 2012, up from a $900,000 loss in the same period a year ago, and revenue of $93.9 million, up from $47.4 million Ruckus had in the same six-month period in 2011.
Gary Berzack, COO and CTO at eTribeca, a New York-based solution provider, said Ruckus was right to wait on that seminal move. "I think this is a good thing as they built a solid base and developed their culture, which is edgy, in a good way," Berzack said.
Meanwhile, Cisco is continuing to pour resources into the SMB and midmarket segments behind its global Partner Led initiatives. A new program, Partner Plus, was unveiled in April.
"It's critical for Cisco and partners to have the ability to scale in that midmarket space," said Andrew Sage, vice president, worldwide Partner Led.

American Battle Monuments Commission:
New Approach to Forecasting Exchange Rates for its Foreign Currency Fluctuation Account
GAO-06-50R, Oct 20, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The conference report for the Fiscal Year 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act required that we review the past and current methodologies used by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to estimate exchange rates used in preparing the budgets for ABMC's foreign currency fluctuation account. This account is intended to maintain the spending power of funds appropriated for ABMC operations in the event that the U.S. dollar depreciates against the currencies used to pay for these operations, which include designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining permanent American military burial grounds in foreign countries. In light of recent low foreign currency fluctuation account levels, the appropriations committees' conferees were concerned with the failure of OMB to adequately address the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on ABMC in its original budget submission for fiscal year 2005, or through a supplementary budget request. In response to this mandate, we examined (1) ABMC's method of forecasting exchange rates in preparing budgets for the foreign currency fluctuation account prior to its fiscal year 2006 budget submission and OMB guidance on that method; (2) changes that occurred in the ABMC foreign currency fluctuation fund as the dollar depreciated in value relative to the currencies used by ABMC in its operations; and (3) changes that ABMC made in preparing its fiscal year 2006 budget submission.
Prior to the budget proposal that it submitted for fiscal year 2006, ABMC used the same exchange rates as DOD did to estimate the amount of foreign currency per dollar for funding the foreign currency fluctuation account. In a prior report we explained DOD's approach, which allowed staff to exercise judgment in selecting often highly favorable exchange rates published in the DOD Program Budget Decision 660 (DOD PBD 660) for each fiscal year. We criticized this approach because it produced unrealistic results and allowed for substantial judgment and discretion in the selection of exchange rates for budgeting purposes. However, OMB concurred with ABMC and did not question this method. Further, OMB does not provide guidance, such as a central exchange rate forecast or a consistent forecasting method, for federal agencies to use in preparing their budgets. According to OMB officials, each agency is responsible for determining the appropriate exchange rate to convert its expected foreign currency spending into dollars for budgeting purposes. The administration does not publish foreign currency projections, according to OMB, because they could affect foreign currency markets. Beginning in fiscal year 2002, the euro appreciated substantially against the dollar and losses steadily decreased ABMC's currency fluctuation account as the commission increasingly drew upon it. ABMC continued to use DOD PBD 660 to set foreign currency rates and did not include a request for an additional appropriation for the account as part of its budget submission for fiscal years 2003 and 2004. Further, the President's budget did not request funding for the foreign currency fluctuation fund for fiscal year 2005. However, as fiscal year 2004 progressed, ABMC recognized that the account had fallen to a level that necessitated curtailing overall commission spending. Congress provided about $12 million in supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2005. In the President's fiscal year 2006 budget submission, $15.25 million was requested for ABMC's foreign currency fluctuation account. In its budget submission for fiscal year 2006, ABMC stopped using exchange rates set by DOD PBD 660; instead, it used the exchange rate that prevailed on the date when it had to make its final submission to OMB. This method does not depend on staff judgment and discretion; we believe avoiding such judgment and discretion is appropriate in selecting exchange rates for budgetary purposes. Given the difficulty of forecasting exchange rates, this approach is reasonable.

New documentary makes claims about case

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
We the jury in the above entitled action find the defendant -- -- Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder.
In violation of penal code section 180 sevens.
Say a felony upon Nicole Brown Simpson a human being as charged in count one of the information.
Who could for.
Get that moment where you were when OJ Simpson was acquitted of the murder of his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
The families of the victims much of the nation.
And a civil court would later maintain that OJ was in fact the killer all along but the only thing that matters in terms of one's freedom is what happens in the criminal court.
Now however more than fifteen years later a new documentary claims that the couple may actually have died at the hands of a serial killer.
Trace Gallagher -- race.
That convicted killer -- is a man named Glen Rodgers he's on death row in Florida for two murders one in Tampa Florida and one in Los Angeles here in 1995.
He suspect in as many as ten other murders and claims he may have killed as many.
As seventy people now the Discovery Channel investigation didn't talk with Glen -- but -- -- little listen to Rogers in in 1995.
Radio interview talking about Nicole Brown Simpson's home listen.
I was looking and -- -- that the time and I probably what's gonna happen that's sort of group.
And happened through -- outfitted it with -- company that would work.
-- back Rogers is apparently produced receipts that proved that he was in fact working as a trainer here in west Los Angeles in 1994.
Rogers claims that OJ paid him to break -- -- Nicole Brown's home.
And steal her diamond earrings and then quote kill her if necessary.
A criminal profiler also says that Rodgers also knows things about the murders that only the killer could have known including.
Descriptions of the exact sequence of the killings of Denise brown and I'm Nicole Brown rather and of Ron Goldman Fred Goldman remains convinced.
That OGA.
Butchered his son saying and I'm quoting here the fact of the acquittal.
At the hands of the jury will never wash away this murder from the hands of OJ Simpson no matter how many Glen Rogers.
Pop up on the media radar screen of course the serial killer theory never does explain the trail of blood that led.
From Brown's home on Bundy all the way to OJ's home on Rockingham not to mention the mountain of evidence that also pointed to -- him.
Trace thank you and for that we -- -- next guest who played one of the most critical roles in investigating the OJ Simpson murder trial.
Former LAP homicide detective mark -- making a huge break in the case after discovering one of the bloody gloves.
Conference with me now he's also -- Fox News contributor -- great to have you today what do you make this.
-- -- -- Well it's kind of hard to.
Find a place to start but I think -- -- the first place we should really ask ourselves is when are we gonna stop.
Falling for the OJ meeting.
And this is really what this is you have a serial killer that never was recognized as a prolific organized.
Or even.
Interesting serial killer if he was.
He takes detectives out to find bodies that he can't find most of his murders are.
Women that he met in -- stated today he lost his temper of his MO is scattered all over the place he's disorganized he didn't get the attention.
He grabbed on to this case and he might well have been working in west Los Angeles -- -- were a couple 100000 people.
But here's the interesting part Megan.
The Discovery Channel which might in the future be called the clueless channel.
-- this because somebody is writing a book the brother.
They're taking information hoping they can sell a couple 100000 copies of this book before everybody realizes.
This guy knows nothing and Glen Rodgers knows nothing and and let's not forget -- Glen Rogers has no appeals left on his death penalty and he is waiting next accuse him.
He really has nothing else to do.
So we may be dealing with the ramblings of a board serial killer has got too much time in his hands of prison.
But what of the report that he allegedly knew things about the murder that only the killer.
Could have known including a detailed description of the exact sequence of the killers I mean of the victims.
-- if you.
My book murder and -- I have a whole chapter on exactly how.
The murder progressed from beginning to end all the injuries the blood trail.
Everything that the scene said so.
And even in in 1997.
To date only had to do is pick up the book.
And read it and I would probably venture to say that he doesn't even have a working.
Knowledge of those items in there and believe me for eighteen years saw him much of this information has been out in the public sector so that would be nothing new.
-- speak to the the evidence as it came out in that case that was.
Know that pointed to OJ Simpson as the actual killer because he seems to be suggesting I did it.
And by the way.
I had his relationship with OJ Simpson and and I was supposed to steal the -- -- -- 20000.
Dollar -- -- just just tick off some of that items against OJ.
Well or if we're gonna if we're -- -- play the game.
Let's say.
Simpson gave him 20000 dollars this -- working dissipate as a hater then there should be some way to prove the influx of money.
The phone records between the two.
And at times and places they met the you can connect that up -- times and places of OJ Simpson was or was not.
That's pretty simple to do obviously -- doubt was.
Ran through the wringer in 1995.
When he started this and obviously that panned out to be nothing but then when you look at the crime scene.
Well before we look at what probably out of orbit of the crime scene there's a quick break -- of the dinghies mark permanently -- distancing crack team.
We'll pick it up with you into.
All right so mark fuhrman's going to tell us why.
He does not believe -- is it his you know and should believe that anyone other than OJ Simpson committed this crime.
-- had it when you when you listen.
Two people trying to promote a big book we just listened to one about.
Some PI that Jason David absent of any evidence and here we go again.
So you look at this.
We have OJ Simpson that supposedly hired this serial killer to steal two diamond earrings and kill his wife if necessary.
Brilliant how did this serial killer managed to get OJ Simpson's Brunell probably -- His blood.
Cut OJ -- anger get all the blood from the from Simpson and two victims and the bronco.
Up the driveway.
Take a glove -- -- everybody's -- on it and put it behind Kato's bungalow bang on Kato's wall.
-- in the house quickly take a shower -- bloody socks at the end of the bed and an empty knife box for a knife that the -- that was the murder weapon.
And in the master bath.
And that -- Simpson it.
Not be able to account for how we cut his hand weary was at the time of the murders.
And then the whole thing is is greatest Simpson would sell out anybody on the planet not to be in jail.
So why wouldn't he come up fight hired somebody to -- -- for my wife and he killed them.
That that's the big question.
Why wouldn't -- OJ Simpson had no injuries have said.
-- right we're gonna have to cop two you know larceny.
Because OJ did hire this guy to go -- -- a pair of earrings.
But he didn't murder anybody it was this guy judge was this guy jury they never offered that -- at trial.
Well of course -- didn't offer that Syrian and let's not forget that 1995.
Rogers were shooting his mouth off about this -- but also nobody was paying attention to him.
When night he was saying that he was -- -- -- serial killer and he is a -- and arresting cereals spree killer.
That nobody really cared about the still doesn't now somebody's trying to make some money but as a nation are we this stupid.
That we fall for these these media blitzes and this attraction that that may -- there's something more interested.
That we can squeeze out of this stay -- and put that he can easily seen crime.
As you know people are fascinated by that case thank you mark and we also want to -- the Discovery Channel -- -- are allowing us to use the footage from that special.
The special my brother the serial killer airs tomorrow night November 21.

This is a first attempt at a BEN 10 piece for a "PUMMEL streetfight" with Gadgetwk.

This is an experimental ink of a trashy Sentry vs Superman pic I did.
This is a first attempt at a BEN 10 piece for a "PUMMEL streetfight" with Gadgetwk.
Inked, then a colored shot.
This is my final draft of my BEN 10 piece.
Inked, then colored shot:
These are for the "PUMMEL tournament", the topic was Wonderman. I made two versions and ended up unhappy with both. This may signify the end of my drawing attempts; at the very least for some time.
Every artist feels that wall sometimes, some get past it, some dont, but if you want to get past it, you probably have to do something different than what you ve been doing
If its a general burn out, you may just want a break, how long is up to you, a week may be enough, or a month. if you like art dont stay away too long. Try to still look at good art and study it even if your not drawing. look for new and different art to appreciate
If its unhapiness with where your at, you probably need the opposite of a break, find something you lack, and practice it, study it, then try to incorporate it into your style.
Kang the Conquerer! Kang's always been an old favorite of mine. Hand't ever drawn him though. I was actually reasonably happy with the result, especially the short amount of time I put into it. Plus it was fun.
This was a PSF with the White Queen. I was trying a different approach with it. I used a variety of pencil weights and an eraser as a rendering device. Fun. although frustrating. I may revisit it to fix some problems I had with it. Maybe.
Dude. That might be your best pic yet.

On August 14, 2008 the Higher Education Opportunity Act (Public Law 110-315) (HEOA) was enacted. This legislation reauthorizes the Higher Education Act of 1965.

It is a rarity to have a student have a seat on a school board, and even more rare for that student to have a vote. Oakdale High School senior Michael Homer was recently sworn in as a member of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District's Board of Trustees to serve as a voice for the student body in the district and to vote on issues that come before the board.
The first day of school could best be described as organized bedlam. School personnel and Oakdale police officers were out in force on Tuesday, Aug. 11 to help keep safety a priority and the chaos to a minimum as parents ushered their children onto school campuses all around town.The Oakdale schools were ready to accept the students to kick off the school year but pedestrian and auto traffic nearly overwhelmed the streets in front of ...
The Oakdale school board is concerned about student safety with the lack of enough volunteers to serve as crossing guards at "hot spots" on the highway (F Street). The Oakdale Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees heard a report on the status of the crossing guard situation at the Aug. 10 regular meeting.Superintendent Fred Rich relayed that Oakdale Police Department, which is responsible for the F Street crossing guards, does not have enough volunteers ...
Budget constraints have eliminated the five formerly paid positions of crossing guards from the Oakdale Police Department budget, leaving the three most heavily used crosswalks during the school year unmanned and needing volunteers to ensure the safety of students before and after school. And with less busing being provided by the Oakdale Joint Unified District this school year, officials expect the amount of students ...
Student athletes and their families are going to have to reach in their own pockets to pay for transportation to and from sporting events. The Oakdale Joint Unified School District Board of Directors voted unanimously at the July 13 regular meeting to require student athletes to pay fees for transportation to athletic events. The district made reductions to its expenditures, which includes athletic transportation, in order to balance its budget. The athletic transportation budget line ...
This is the time of year that schools in the Oakdale Joint Unified School District get a deep cleaning. Floors are stripped and waxed, carpets are shampooed, every desk and chair is cleaned top and bottom, bathrooms are scrubbed, walls and blinds are washed. Once the maintenance crews are done, the rooms and offices even smell clean. Plus, exterior walls and sidewalks are pressure washed and trees are trimmed.
The Oakdale Joint Unified School District recently named Michael Tambini to the position of Vice Principal and Athletic Director at Oakdale High School. Tambini replaces Mike Moore who accepted the Principal role at OHS. Tambini officially started in his new position in July.
New, permanent classroom buildings at Oakdale Junior High School are taking shape as Diede Construction workers continue to hammer away at the project with an expected completion date of March 2010.
The Oakdale Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Monday night to approve the 2009-2010 proposed budget. Trustee Mike Tozzi was absent.
It's as easy to use as a credit card, a simple swipe will funnel a portion of money to a cause that supports students at Oakdale High School in their academic pursuits, but it's nothing extra out of your pocket.
Unsung heroes make substantial contributions that are typically unknown or unacknowledged and they frequently go without recognition. However, the special efforts of one employee of the Oakdale Joint Unified School District didn't go unnoticed.
The California Healthy Kids Survey has shown overall decreases in substance use and violence in Oakdale schools, but funding for the programs that have fueled these results has been severely cut and the district is playing a waiting game to see if grant funding will come through.
The Oakdale Joint Unified School District recently announced Mike Moore as the new Principal at Oakdale High School. Moore served as a Vice Principal at OHS since 2004 and has held the duties of Athletic Director for the past two years as well. Moore is replacing Rick Jones who retired after being at the helm for eight years.
Some students at Fair Oaks Elementary School recently participated in an online 10-week long Go tournament against more than 70 teams, where almost all were middle and high schools, as well as some private Chinese schools. The Fair Oaks students participated on four different teams garnering second place in the junior division of the School Cup, only 0.15 points behind first place, as well as individual silver ...
Tough times are here and as Fred Rich, Oakdale Joint Unified School District Superintendent put it, "The fluff is all gone and it has been for quite a while."
In honor of Veterans' Day on Nov.11, Sierra View Elementary School second grade teacher Linda Kraus hosted a veteran guest speaker in her class on Friday, Nov. 9.
The "lease-leaseback" method to build the new Central Kitchen facility on J Street was approved in a 4-2 vote by the Oakdale Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees at the Nov. 5 regular meeting.
The President has been elected and seven sophomore and junior students along with one teacher from Oakdale High School plan to travel to Washington D.C. to watch his public inauguration on Monday, Jan. 21, 2013.

PDM taking it to the limit | | Print | |
Thursday, 23 September 2010 12:37 | |||
Leadership of the People's Democratic Movement called on the media, local and international, to spread the message they are prepared to do whatever necessary to return democracy to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands. On Tuesday, Sept. 21, just one day after U.K. Foreign Minister Henry Bellingham announced the delay of democratic elections, members of the party's National General Council (NGC) met in an emergency meeting to discuss how the party would and be moving forward. Leader Douglas Parnell told members of the media the NGC gave him the authority, "to take all steps it deems necessary to return power to the people to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands, including aligning with organizations or groups to achieve these objectives." "Today we are here to make sure you understand as far as this situation is concerned, that there is no more Mr. Nice guy," Parnell said. "This is a matter for the people, and we are going to ask our people to come together in such a way that is 10 times greater than what you saw on Unity day. We are going to ask our people to come together in such a way that it is crystal clear we want our country back and we want our country back now." Deputy Leader Clarence Selver added, "We are not going to sit idly by and let them do it without protesting and taking it to the limit." But he cautioned that while they intend to go as far as necessary, it should be done responsibly. "This is a very serious time in our country," Parnell said, "a time that requires people to act, and we want to encourage our people to act responsibly, to act in accordance with the law, to make sure that we do not create more uncertainty and more chaos than is already there. We must act and show ourselves and the rest of the world that we can act responsibly and civilly, and that we must do that first." Parnell explained there are ways to demonstrate to protest and speak out, but speaking out sometimes does not mean you have to speak. "It could mean you just have to stand to carry a placard to walk, to encourage others," he said. "We have to have a country after this is all over, and so we must make sure our country that we love, that I love, that you love remains intact."

Full list of Top 100 NHL Draft Prospects
21. Olli Maatta, Defense, London-OHL
Maatta is an extremely advanced defenseman who thinks the game at a very high level. He would have been the #1 defenseman for Finland at the World Juniorsa very rare feat for a top nation at his ageif it wasn't for a concussion early in the event. He regularly logged 25 minutes per game in his first North American season in Londonsometimes touching 30 minutesas he is such a mistake-free shutdown defenseman who makes a very good first pass. Maatta plays a polished defensive style with a good mix of instinctual reads, good stick work, and strong physical play. He's quite strong and effective physically compared to most Europeans who come over, who at times don't have his muscle mass until ages 19-21. He's calm under pressure with accurate outlets. On occasion, he will show a flash of something more offensively in terms of his vision. He isn't a conservative player, though, and when he senses a moment to join the rush or help in the offensive zone, he will. Maatta will be used on the power play, where he displays more offensive creativity than he does at even strength and projects to maybe play a second unit in that role at the highest level. His puck handling is a little rigid, though, and he relies more on his sense and vision to make plays rather than puck technique. Skating has historically been Maatta's biggest issue. He has an awkward stride in terms of his forward hunch and the way he extends through. He has improved in that area, howeverI've gotten mixed reports out of the OHL, with some saying no improvement and other scouts saying it has gotten exponentially better.
22. Nikolai Prokhorkin, Center, CSKA-MHL
The late birthdate has been a scoring force in Russia's Junior league the last two years and has gotten a small amount of KHL action as well. He is listed as a winger, but he plays center and excels as a center. He has not played in major international events, so he doesn't get the limelight but he deserves it. Prokhorkin is a skilled forward with above-average puck-handling abilities who can make things happen in open ice. His best trait is his hockey sense and vision as he's a very creative playmaker who really finds his linemates well and makes a lot of things happen on the ice by being a focal point of the attack. Now while he's a gifted passer, he isn't an over-passer and has the ability to be a decent finisher as well. Prokhorkin is an average skaternot your typical Russian blazerbut he can move just fine. Where Prokhorkin deviates pleasantly from the stereotype for a skilled Russian is he's a big-body forward who likes to play physically. He still needs to put on a fair amount of muscle, but the North American game shouldn't be an issue at all for Prokhorkin.
23. Slater Koekkoek, Defense, Peterborough-OHL
Koekkoek is one of those prospects that I've heard widely differing reports from industry sources on. The top defense prospect whose season was significantly shortened by a shoulder injury will get praise from one scout as a safe, low-upside player and in the other corner I'll hear he's a high-upside boom/bust defenseman gotta love this industry. From what I've seen, I tend to lean more towards the former. Koekkoek (which is an awesome name to say, may I add) is a pretty good skater with a good first step, smooth four-way movements, a technically sound stride, and quick, powerful feet. His puck skills are a tick above average, but he makes his offensive living with his puck-moving. He's a pretty smart passer who can flash some fine creativity in that area but overall is not that flashy. Koekkoek is very smart though, showing good awareness on the power play when it comes to his decisions, he makes good defensive reads, and plays a pretty mistake-free game. However, I have heard from several scouting sources who have described Koekkoek in the complete opposite manner, stating he will dominate one night, and have several brain cramps per shift the next. What is universally agreed on, though, is that he is a fine physical player who will rub opponents off the puck and do what he has to in that area.
24. Derrick Pouliot, Defense, Portland-WHL
Pouliot is a pretty gifted offensive defenseman who has put up a fair amount of points the last two years on a powerhouse Portland team, but I've also gotten conflicting reports on him from scouts. Pouliot makes his living with the puck as he's an above-average puck-handler who looks smooth and coordinated when he's controlling the puck and is able to make opponents miss. Pouliot shows good creativity and translates that into his distribution game too. He's an accurate passer who can make a great outlet, has confidence and poise under pressure and when distributing into tight lanes and also doesn't hesitate from attempting the difficult feeds and has the ability to be effective doing so. Pouliot is a solid skater who moves around fine. I would like to see a little more speed from a player his size to push his offensive projection over the top but it certainly is a notable strength. Pouliot's defensive game is what I get very split reports on from scouts. Some say he's great defensively, some say he's very physical, and others say he's very soft and is so bad defensively he should be converted to forward. I stand around the middle as I think he can be decent physically, although his size/strength still make it a weakness. I think he can be fine in his own end as well, but he hurts himself with getting too cute in his own end or having a brain cramp as opposed to not having a feel for the position.
25. Brendan Gaunce, Center, Belleville-OHL
Gaunce is a bulking two-way power forward who can also finish and distribute the puck at a high level. He is a really smart hockey player with tremendous instincts and vision on the ice. Even though he's an aggressive checker, he also has the ability to pull up along the side boards, control a power play and be a very effective distributor. Gaunce makes all the little plays consistently with his distribution game and he also is able to show the ability to see and make the difficult passes. Gaunce is a strong player and you see it in his shooting ability as he really leans into his wrist and slap shots, showing plus finishing ability from beyond the blue paint. He is also pretty physically advanced in terms of his frame and muscle mass and is at least in that aspect ready for the next level, although I wouldn't be crazy about him making the jump until he's 19 or 20. Gaunce is dangerous on the forecheck with his strength and work ethic, but also shows as much determination in the other end of the rink, where combined with his hockey sense, it makes him quite an effective two-way centerman. His puck skills are average, though, as he's not one to make a good hands play. He is also is a below-average skater as well who isn't that dangerous in transition.
26. Tim Bozon, Left Wing, Kamloops-WHL
Tim Bozon has not blazed your prototypical path for a prospect. Born in the USA and having donned the France colors in international hockey, he played Junior hockey in Switzerland before transferring to the WHL this year and playing very well on a good offensive team. Bozon is a gifted all-around player who doesn't stand out with high-end possession abilities but does a lot well and certainly has the skill level to project to score at the highest level. He's a good skater who can accelerate quickly and get to a pretty desirable top speed. Bozon shows above-average puck skills displaying creativity, hand-eye coordination, and the ability to make a nice number of skill plays in terms of distributions of making opponents miss. Bozon also has noticeable finishing ability. He potted a large amount of even-strength goals this year, but projects as a good finisher and potentially, even a plus one. He's a gritty player with good intangibles as he will protect the puck well along the boards, pressures well on the forecheck, gets back on defense, and has a bit of an edgy side to his game. Overall, Bozon doesn't have a very noticeable flaw and has enough good traits to make him a safe projection but with scoring upside.
27. Nicolas Kerdiles, Left Wing, USA Under-18 National Team-USHL
Kerdiles is the top forward on the US U-18 team in what has been a weak crop of forwards for them this year. He's not a truly flashy player but certainly has good offensive skills and is a pretty well-rounded player with several offensive elements and gets it done in his own end as well. Kerdiles is a good skater who has a technically sound stride and can really be a pest on the forecheck with his speed. He has solid puck skills with the ability to make the odd move in open ice and shows some creativity off the rush. Kerdiles will flash the ability to be an above-average distributor but is inconsistent in that area as there will be times when he has tunnel vision and doesn't show desirable sense, only to make a great sense play later in the game. He's a hard-working two-way player who will drive the net, pressure physically on the forecheck, and hustle back diligently to help on defense. Kerdiles will also be used on the penalty kill and shows the ability to be effective. He doesn't have a really notable weakness other than his somewhat skinny frame, though as stated above, he doesn't have a standout skill.
28. Daniil Zharkov, Right Wing, Belleville-OHL
Zharkov had a pretty impressive first OHL season despite somewhat underwhelming counting numbers. He's a good skater who hits a desirable top speed, with good first step quickness, showing very good agility and ability to evade defenders. That last part is also due to his puck skills, which are plus, as he can really dangle and has a lot of individual ability. His goal to assist ratio may give the indication of a poor passer or a puck hog, and while he'll occasionally look like the latter, he does show many instances of being a fine puck distributor. Zharkov is much better, though, at making moves and getting into shooting position where he displays high-end finishing ability. He shows a fine physical game, as while he still needs to put on strength, he has a projectable frame and will work hard on the forecheck and when he has to battle along the boards. Zharkov doesn't show that same effort in the other end, and will have to address his defensive game significantly going forward. While he still has some holes in his game, he has great upside and is worth the risk.
29. Ville Pokka, Defense, Karpat-SM-Liiga
Pokka is a pretty advanced young defenseman, as he's played beyond his age group the last two years, including getting a good amount of games in Finland's top men's league at 17 years of age. He also was a key member of Finland's blue line at the World Juniors, an unusual feat at his age for an eventual top-four team. Pokka's hockey sense is certainly impressive as it is at the least above-average but I could certainly argue that it is plus as well. He has a really cool demeanor with and without the puck on the ice. With the puck, his panic threshold is very impressive, which allows him to move the puck well as he won't turn it over, can consistently make long passes, and his decisions are quick. Pokka's defensive work is impressive for his age, as he reads his assignments well, closes his gaps efficiently, and makes all the right reads that allows him to shut down good players. Pokka still needs work in a few areas if he wants to be a truly effective two-way player, though. He will engage physically, but he's not overly threatening in that area, be it with his battle effort or his size/strength combo. He's also a fringe skater who can easily get turned around by faster players.
30. Scott Laughton, Center, Oshawa-OHL
Laughton isn't a really flashy forward who I would traditionally project to become a top-six forward in the pro game, but he's a quick, smart effective player with an average skill level who is a "does all the little things" type of guy in the lineup and seems to always be around the play. Laughton's the kind of player who is a great penalty killer and an above-average face off man and can provide some offense while being leaned on for defensive value. He is a quick skater off the line whose top speed is solid and may flash above average. He moves his feet quickly and does well in transition when it comes to his forechecks and backchecks. Laughton is a competitive player who works hard along the boards in puck battles, and despite a frame that needs weight and strength, he doesn't shy away from the rough stuff and can win a decent amount of his one-on-one match-ups. He isn't a null factor offensively as he has some puck skills and will flash solid vision here and there but tends to be a more instinctual player who makes good off-the-puck readsand while he isn't made in the ideal mold of a puck possession forwardwhen he's on the ice, there are more shots at the opposing end than there are at his.

Graphical Bandwidth Monitor for Ubuntu
After having shifted to Ubuntu from Windows for quite a long time, I was looking for a no nonsense Bandwidth Monitor. It was during this time that I came across vnStat.
vnStat in the makers word :
vnStat is a network traffic monitor for Linux that keeps a log of daily network traffic for the selected interface(s). vnStat isn't a packet sniffer. The traffic information is analyzed from the /proc filesystem. That way vnStat can be used even without root permissions. However, at least a 2.2 series kernel is required.
This program is open source/GPL'ed and can be installed either as root or as a single user. Better instructions are included in the README.
So I installed vnStat using
:~$sudo apt-get install vnstat
The first step in using vnStat is to initialize it and configure it to read your Internet bandwidth usage.

I am trying to install a new compiler and have followed everything in the help topic titled "Adding A New Compiler" (unless i overlooked something - but i dont' think so).
I used the "Win32 Console Application" configuration of the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler" compiler as a template, making a compiler directory called "Atmel WinCUPL Compiler" and a configuration called "WinCUPL PLD File".
I've performed extensive experimenting with a copy of the console app config file and together with the UE help file have interpreted and understood most everything (option/variable/filegroup/command section/...) in the config file. Most everything.
The thing that i can not seem to figure out is this: how the heck does UE know where the 'cl.exe' executable is. when i open up the "Set Compiler Paths" dialog....it is not in there with the 40 built-in defaults.
now I know that my path is setup for command line compiling - so i *thought* UE was using the path environment variable. i decided to test this theory by changing my path to point to a bogus folder "...\VC99\Bin\". sure enough when i reboot, then re-open UE, then press 'F9' and execute 'set', the output shows a path with the bogus value.........YET UE projects CAN STILL FIND cl.exe and build!!!!!!!!!
how?!?!?!?.......and how can i have my compiler treated the same way?
i am desperate to solve this problem because my new compiler is setup for command line work using environment variables, but when i make a "Cmd0" entry like those in my chosen template (using just the exe name) i get this error: "'cupl' is not recognized as an internal or external command".
attempted line: Cmd0 = cupl -al $I
thank you in advance for any insight,

Hubble Favorites
A National Air and Space Museum astronomer picks some of his favorite images from the storied telescope.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 22, 2009
NASA, ESA, and The Hubble Heritage Team (STScl/AURA)
Globular Cluster, Omega Centauri, NGC 5139 (2008)
"I once saw a cluster very much like Omega Centauri—although in the Hercules Constellation—through a very large telescope," says DeVorkin. "It was just about three-dimensional, like diving into an endless sea of stars. The density of the bright stars in these clusters is much greater than it is in our stellar neighborhood. Yet there's no gas, very little gas, so there's very little that impedes the starlight. This [photograph depicts] just the center of the cluster"

This is a marvel of technology in optics would be a shame to become obsolete.
Posted by Clemente Ruiz Gordillo on July 2,2009 | 04:46 AM
This truly is mind boggling and wondrous. But I am not quite sure what Dr DeVorkin means when he says that the astronomers are translating what they think they are seeing. Is this like an electron microscope where actual images are seen as they are. Or is this "drawing" a translation say much like a translator will translate a poem? The actual words are not necessarily being translated because poems are especially idiomatic where the vernacular just cannot be written word for word- in some cases it would even be unintelligible. So, just exactly what is the astronomer imaging- spectroscopic, radio wave or some other medium ? DAVID DeVORKIN REPLIES:
Astronomers receive data from Hubble's cameras in single color bands (spectral bands) that they have chosen from an available menu of some 48 programmable color and polarizing filters in the camera. The bands are chosen mainly to reveal chemical and physical processes active in those bands. If they then choose, they can mix and match, and in effect, "colorize" any of those bands to bring out specific behaviors of the elements in the bodies they are studying that are of scientific value in their work. They can also choose colorized bands that produce aesthetically pleasing or provocative spacescapes. So astronomers do not "see" these objects "as they are" or as if one were observing at some vantage point in space (in which case typically the objects would be very low contrast). Astronomers construct these images to reveal the dynamical processes that are at play in the object.

Con ArtistsPros: None. Cons: I ordered two Sandisk SDSDQUA-064G-A11A cards but received two SDSDQUA-064G-U46A cards. A11A are cards for the American market whereas U46A is a cheaper international market card limited to international tech support and warranty service despite paying for US support and service. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great Flash cardPros: Very fast. After downloading the SanDisk app I was able to move all the photos and music that were previously on my phone, which slowed the phone, to the flash card. There is no lag time using the music or photos and now the phone is much faster. ONly wish there was some way to move some of the apps installed in it. Cons: No problems.

very pleasedPros: Speedy delivery and lots if space. Card works great, highly recommend it. Cons: I guess the price, which isn't even that bad. Did you find this review helpful? |
Failed after a couple daysPros: it was "just" 40 bucks. Cons: Bought on black friday sale, but used the card just a few times. Inserted it into my Note 2 and the card died. tried to format it using the Disk manager and under Linux. Even tried to use a low format tool. No success Other Thoughts: The card failed 3 months ago and I don't even remember where it is. Don't wanna deal with RMA hassle. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Not me too!Pros: Product functioned out of the package Cons: Product failed in nine days. Other Thoughts: "SD card unexpectedly removed" on my SGS4 when I hit skip on a tune, then 40 minutes for "Checking SD card" then "Unable to play this format" for every MP3 file on the card.

manufacturing ErrorPros: Fast and Huge. When it works. Cons: SD Card unexpectedly removed error. Other Thoughts: I Purchased this card to go with my new Galaxy s4 in may. Card was decently quick, and had a lot of space for a great price. However, if you do a quick search for "SD card unexpectedly removed" error. You will quickly learn that there is a huge problem with these cards. So much so that there was a silent recall on them. This recall should have been sent to resellers like newegg so it could be passed on to customers with details on how to get a new card that has been manufactured after they fixed the problem. However it wasn't passed on. Leaving many users to spam internet forums with questions on how to fix the error. The only surefire fix being; Send it back, and get a new one. I have already contacted SanDisk Customer support, and am waiting for my RMA. It is a shame though. Costumers who are likely to be impacted by such wide-spread errors should be contacted by the manufacturer, not the other way around. The units being shipped now may very well in fact be fixed. But be advised that is you get the "sd card unexpectedly removed" error. Don't waste your time trying to fix it. Send it back for a replacement. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

District 1 Supervisor Candidate Mike Hellon honored by AZ Supreme Court Chief Justice
by Carolyn Classen on Jun. 25, 2012, under Life, PoliticsMike Hellon Honored for Service to Courts
Rebecca White Berch, Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, last week presented the Chief Justice's Distinguished Service Award to Mike Hellon for "Outstanding Contributions to the Arizona Judiciary."
The top award presented annually by the Chief Justice, is given to an individual who has made an "Outstanding Contribution to the Arizona Courts." Hellon's award cited his service in "preserving the dignity of the judiciary and for your many years of dedicated service in improving the legal profession." Hellon is not a lawyer.
In her remarks to the Judicial Conference, Chief Justice Berch cited Hellon's service of twenty-two years as a small claims hearing officer for the Pima County Justice Court; his service on the Judicial Performance Review Commission, where is the current Chairman; his membership on the Arizona Judicial Council, which is the "board of directors of the court system;" and his service as the only non-lawyer on the faculty of the Judicial College of Arizona.
Hellon is running for District 1 Pima County Board of Supervisors in the upcoming August 28 Primary against three other Republicans including LD 26 Rep. Vic Williams and two newcomers to politics, Ally Miller and Stuart McDaniel. Mike is also divorced from former LD 26 State Senator Toni Hellon.
Here is my previous article about Mike's candidacy (click here).
I personally know Mike having served over 7 years — also as a part-time Hearing Officer in the Small Claims Division of the Pima County Consolidated Justice Courts, where Mike is one of our trainers. And Mike as a non-lawyer does seem to know more about the law than I do, despite my law degree and several years of practicing.
Congratulations Mike for this award!

Gonna go and out of one of the democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee congressman Adam -- from California congressman welcome to you sir thank you.
I'm not sure if you heard what congressman -- was saying there but but this seemed -- kind of the theme from the Republicans saying look.
I mean this is confusing and admittedly it is somebody took a very key piece of wording.
Out of the CIA's talking points and it changed the entire theme dramatically your response well.
First of all there was never NB a draft that said it was a pre planned terrorist attacks so that wasn't part of the draft.
Yes there were changes in the multi agency intelligence community process.
The the most important point though in General Petraeus made this very clearly today is that the changes that were made were made to protect classified information.
They didn't want to be specific as to the precise group they thought was responsible or groups.
Because there may have been multiple groups involve multiple groups of terrorists or extremists.
-- but it was done to protect classified information and he was.
Very clear this was never done for political purposes wasn't manipulated by the White House.
And all of the kind of conspiracy theories that this was done in in two.
Frame this in -- way the White House won one and were completely debunked by the general.
On the other point that I think was quite clear and I asked the general about this during the hearing today respected the UN ambassador.
Whether she was operating in the precise talking points or not.
I asked the general where the talking points that we ultimately got that you ultimately sign off on.
Were those and accurate assessment of the best information you have at the time that still protected classified information and they said yes.
And I asked him to the degree that the ambassador's remarks reflected those talking points and if you look and compare them they're almost identical.
Was -- giving us the best intelligence estimate at the time and his answer was yes.
But I'm not sure that's accurate congressman because tell me if you would go back and tell me how it is it protecting classified information.
Turns out to be something where ambassador rice goes on to these five Sunday shows.
And if she's protecting classified information how do you turn that around where she delivers in accurate information to the entire country because at that time the information she gave was inaccurate basing it well the best intelligence that she had.
Because the best intelligence the community gave us and gave the ambassador was wrong and the general admitted it was wrong and hasn't just changed is there.
No no no no the the intelligence that the raw intelligence and the information they gave us that the general gave us in person.
That they gave us -- the written assessment said this was based on A began as a spontaneous protest that was wrong.
That wasn't something that.
Susan Rice invented that was something the intelligence community thought at the time and they were wrong.
But the idea that they thought something different.
And at the end bastard departed from that is simply not true and the general today made it clear -- that was not true.
-- -- general have to acknowledge anonymous like -- -- now just but that he and the IC got it wrong.
They thought initially was spontaneous they thought yes.
It's terrorism because by definition you're shooting mortars and RPG's and American diplomatic -- that's terrorism.
The question though is.
Was it pre planned.
Should we have seen it coming.
And that is something -- that the general did not know at the time.
And two to suggest that they knew initially the general the -- new that's simply not the case.
Well from these intelligence -- we can tell you that the Democrats the Republicans came away with entirely different conclusions.
About exactly what happened California congressman.
Adam -- sir thank you so much for your time.
Thank you.

After decades of riding them, I'm finally painting them. Motorcycles. As they are a new series of work, I've decided to launch them as limited edition prints available through a new site:
Oil & Piston
Along with the site, as expected, there's a new facebook page.
The first finished painting of the series might be of particular interest.
Punk's Promise, 28" x 42", Oil on Canvas
This was Mike Berlien's bike. It now sits in my garage. Someday it will run again. For now, it's another kind of inspiration.
Gold, 20" x 24", Oil on Canvas
Trudy... you may have seen her on advrider or elsewhere. 'Earwig' has been massaging this bike for decades. It is stunning.
A little dream, 30" x 30", Oil on Canvas
This poor neglected 1965 Benly 150 likely will never be restored, but the son of the previous owner will never let it go.
More paintings are coming and I've got my eyes open for other interesting bikes with stories to tell. There's a 1972 Husqvarna CR250 replica waiting for my attention in a barn not far from here. And then there's that /2 in Marin I really should paint...
For pricing on prints, a little more information, and to place an order, please visit the site. This is a 'soft launch' and all prints are currently 20% off.
Thank you!
Side note: It's funny to me that people might know me as a web guy. I first got into the web work as a means to an end, to promote the artwork. The artwork has always been the primary pursuit, even if the mortgage didn't always agree. 3

Asia Tours
- Thailand
- China
- Cambodia
- Vietnam
- Tibet
There is no simple way to describe the wealth of opportunity that Asia travel offers the adventure seeker. Markets and bazaars, souks and stupas, ancient ruins constructed by grand civilizations long gone, modern cities and villages where life goes on much as it has for centuries. From the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, Delhi, Beijing, Amman and Kathmandu to the overwhelming immensity of the Himalayas, an Asia tour provides the traveller with as much to marvel at as Marco Polo and the explorers of old. Whether you're looking to cross Mongolia, follow the Silk Road to China, trek to Everest base camp, explore Tibet, visit Vietnam or island hop in southern Thailand, Asia is waiting to entrance you.
Best of Java (AEJV)
With a population of 135 million crammed into just under 140,000 sq. kilometres, you'd think there'd be no room on Java left for adventuring. Densely-populated as it is, this amazing swath of Indonesia has loads of unexplored corners just waiting for travellers looking for something a little different. From Jakarta, you'll venture to the curiously European-like city of Bandung (the "Paris of Java") en route to Yogyakarta, home to the island's monstrous volcanoes. Later, you'll spend two days in Dutch colonial Batu before winding up on the gorgeous Balinese beaches of Sanur. (Hey, if you can't beat the crowd, join it!)
Highlights: Explore vibrant Jakarta, take the train through terraced rice fields, visit a Buddhist sanctuary, meet the locals and learn the Javanese way of life
Best of Sumatra (AESM)
Fabled for its rainforests and wildlife, Sumatra remains a destination most travellers resign to their "someday" list. Someday is now. One of the largest islands in the world, this lush Indonesian gem is ideal for adventurers looking for something beyond the ordinary. Beginning in Medan, this 8-day trip will bring you face-to-face with orangutans, the impressive supervolcano at Lake Toba, coffee plantations, village life in Berastagi (famed for its delicious passion fruit) and much more. What, exactly? You've gotta get here to find out!
Highlights: Explore Bohorok National Park and meet the orangutans, watch the sunrise from the top of a volcano, relax on an island resort, learn where famous Sumatra coffee comes from, soak in the natural hot springs
Classic Bali (AESU)
Watch the sun rise over volcanic peaks and the spires of Pura Besakih. From pristine beaches and temples surrounded by jungle, Bali is a land loaded with cultural and natural highlights. With your accommodation and transport arranged by CEOs, this well-packed adventure offers up the perfect blend of the island's highlights and free time to get off the beaten path—where the people on the beach are just as likely to be fishermen as other travellers. With its excellent food, artists and an island steeped in culture, Bali is truly an unforgettable experience.
Highlights: Relax on stunning beaches, uncover the unique culture of Ubud, explore Hindu temples, marvel at the power of active volcanoes.
Classic Lombok (AEUS)
Situated a short distance from Bali but visited by only a fraction of the tourist throngs, Lombok stands apart. From animist temples and bamboo forests to beautiful coral reefs and beaches, you'll experience the best of the region in only eight days. With hotels, transport and a number of included activities arranged by our CEOs, this adventure also allows plenty of free time to create your own highlights.
Highlights: Relax on the beautiful Gili Islands, explore traditional villages, snorkel vibrant reefs, bask on white coral beaches

What were the rules relating to the behaviour of pickets whilst on duty? I know they shouldn't fall asleep, but was communication across lines, or even fraternisation, officially forbidden? More importantly, what were the rules of engagement: if an attack was about to begin, say, would the pickets be given a head start, or would they have realsied what was up and reported back anyhow? Oh, and how far away from camp would they be placed? I suppose what I really need is a crashcourse in 19th Century military organisation, but these questions have come to me whilst reading various memoirs. |

Interesting questions, Kernow-Ox. The books are full of "no pickets," or "not enough pickets, or "pickets not placed far enough out," or "pickets placed too far out." I suppose there must have been a regulation number and where they ought to be. But what ought to have been done and what was done are constantly at odds. At Shiloh, Sherman did have pickets out. Many of them. But their orders apparently did not include any urgency so they were all but useless. At Chancellorsville, Howard did have pickets out but, as I understand it, they were not out far enough. So the number of pickets and their placement would seem to depend on the concerns of the commander and whether he places appropriate urgency on the orders. If feels secure, the pickets are likely to be of little concern and their placement will reflect that lack of concern. And pickets were to never fraternize with the enemy. But they did it anyway. Who's gonna know? Their entire purpose was to alert the main body if there was a movement on the other side. Fire off some shots; come running back yelling. Whatever serves to put the camp on alert so it isn't surprized -- like at Shiloh and Chancellorsville. ole |

It's important to understand the military axiom of there is how things are supposed to be done by the regs and how things are actually done in the field. The regs call for the picketts to be pushed out 200 paces. In some cases picketts were only a few hundred yards out while in other instances of read of them being pushed out over a mile. The pickett was supposed to be about 5% of the total force say 48 men for a full strength Regiment. 1 Lt, 2 Sgt's, 4 corporals, drummer & 40 privates. This is a sufficient number to man the minimum posts & provide the three reliefs Below is a list of books that should give you an answer to your questions on the regs. The link is probably the fastest & least expensive option. http://www.usregulars.com/library.htm Casey, Silas, Infantry Tactics, 1862.

Thanks for the replies! The US Regulars site in particular looks to be a handy resource for the sort of obscure questions that spring to mind but which I never get around to answering. " the military axiom of there is how things are supposed to be done by the regs and how things are actually done in the field." True in other walks of life too! |

Kernow as if you haven't figured it out yourself if you want to know about the foot soldier during the Civil War just as Johan. He is a wealth of knowledge and always provides a book list a mile long. Which can get expensive but is a welcome additon to the board. Ole also has a lot of information on various subjects. Joval being the fearless leader also is a good source. Steve Cone when he appears is Johan's Confederate counterpart. Doc and Texa DefenderPvt Clewell, BamanBooklover and too many I am forgetting all are a wealth of knowledge to ask questions of after I have drained google of all I can find and still not happy with the results. Cleburne Fan is another good source of books besides being another Fan of dear Patrick . Wait til Roger gets back from Sea and post his minitures again. Can't wait . Susan pst you guys can all pay me later . |

When my wife and I visited Pamplin Military Park at Pertersburg (I highly recommend this museuem/ educational experience) as they have the largest privately owned area of the original Petersburg seige earthworks they were excavating a picket post that was about 250 yards away from the actual earthworks. I thought at the time this was really far out considering the strength of the fortification. However considering that the Union troops staged closer than that for the Crater it may not have been overly far foreward. By the way I think Susan has commented on the excellent book store they have, but I will give it another plug. I still have a book from that spree I ave not read yet. Don't tell my wife. She may cut off my book money. |

J Harold my lips are sealed . Not having read the books I have has never stopped me from buying more books !!! My excuse is I might never be able to find that book again somewhere else later when I want to read it . I knew I was with the right people last year at Murfreesboro when a bunch of us did Muster at Franklin /Spring Hill and Murfreesboro. I was in the bookshop with the others and each one of us had our arms full. We were also telling each other what we already had and recommending books to each other. Only thing is I kept trying to get a couple of the guys to slip my books in with theirs to pay for them and would you believe they all turned me down!!!! lol Now I just keep a notebook handy and when someone recommends the book I write it down. Who knows when I might find it . I would love to get to that bookstore in Pamplin . susan |

I will second to watch half price books. Yard sales can also be very productive. My wife even has two friends from church who know "no fiction" but any refferance or first hand account is welcome. Last summer one of them got Phantz's Culps Hill and Cemetery ridge for $.50. The bad news is now I want the other three volumes in his series. Too many books, too little time. |

J. Harold I collect preprimers and primers as I taught first grade for years and years. I love old school books but only the ones I used as a child or first grade text. I have a pretty complete set of Dick and Jane. I was talking about that to some friends up in Oregon one summer. The friend of my friend went to a yard sale the next day and came home with a small orange volume. He handed it to me saying "I know you collect childeren's books." I let out a warwhoop you could have heard back east . I had in my hand David Farragut , Boy Sailor from a series called Childhood Biographys of Famous Americans. A series I had loved as a child . I read them all . I had been trying for years to find one or anyone else that remembered them as I did. Now here by chance was not only one of the series but a Civil War one. I was so greatful for that fellow that misunderstood what it was exactly that I collected. Susan |

Susan, I remember those orange books. They were in a little book section of our library when I was young and I'll bet I read every one. I haven't seen one in years. Whenever anyone asks me how I became so interested in history, I just tell them about the set of biographies of famous Americans at the library. I'm glad someone else enjoyed them as much as I did.
