text: Hello all! Happy new year and whatnot :) Reading the Dark Tower has me in the mood to read some books about the old west, but I have no idea where to start! I asked my Dad and he gave me Wyoming by Zane Grey ... I read a few pages and (after teasing him a bit) told him that wasn't really what I meant (it's a bit of a romance novel and it's set in the recent past). Anything that might remind me of Roland would do fine!

AT&T iPhone MMS Carrier Update Now Available via iTunes!
The AT&T Carrier Update (v5.5), required to enable MMS on the iPhone is now live and can be installed via iTunes. Just plug in your iPhone and if it doesn't pop up immediately, hit the check for updates button.
Note: You need to be running iPhone 3.1, so if you haven't updated your firmware yet, do that first.
Once loaded, reboot your iPhone and then head on over the Messages app and you should see the new (for the USA!) camera icon on the bottom left.
For more info, see Apple's support article on the matter, and TiPb's iPhone MMS Walkthrough from earlier today!
Then let us know how iPhone MMS on AT&T is working for you!

AT&T iPhone MMS Carrier Update Now Available via iTunes!
my wifes phone no issue but mine has an error anyone seen this error with update for MMS on iPhone? http://pic.gd/15d840
Prince.....I have a jailbroken phone and was able to get the carrier update without getting 3.1...mms works great!
Brian, do u see anything different in the carrier 5.1 than in the 5.5, i have 5.1
Apple, You piece of monkey sh!t. Just because I don't wont your crappy new firmware 3.1(the iPhone comas and poor battery life), does that give you the right to keep a carrier update from me. The rest of the world didn't need to upgrade to have this function. They have had it for months now! I will be supporting the DEV TEAM because Apple abviously doesn't care about us the way they do!!! Eff you @ssholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't want to upgrade to 3.1 here is the Apple link to the carrier file 5.5: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/Ca...
Can you have mms for a iPhone 2g?
@epphillps Whats the difference between 5.1 and 5.5, i have 5.1, should i get 5.5??
Guys, if your on 3.0 or 3.0.1. You might wanna hold off on trying to load a downloaded carrier file and load threw shift-restore method!! Apple is signing this also. Just like the ECID. It may not go as planned when you try to load it!! WAIT!!
I'm in Pensacola, FL... iPhone 3G updated fine, but not working. Turned MMS on and rebooted my phone, but errors out when trying to send any form of MMS... gets the little red "!" icon. Also tried it on both WiFi and 3G. Same result. Hoping AT&T is just bogged down and it will fix itself soon.
Updated to carrier to 5.5 but won't send pic messages only SMS
really dont use this, but still glad its finally here :)
working here in Lee's Summit, MO
Anyone getting this to work while still running their 3gs at 3.0?
I have 3.1 on my iPhone, I just rebotted and still have 5.1. Am I spossed to reload something off of iTunes? Help please, anyone, I'm crying hear, I want to join in the fun.
I'm in San Diego and my pics did get delivered just fine after I updated the carrier file. By the way my iPhone is not jailbroken. I'm using the latest iTunes and 3.1. Thanks iPhone Blog. You are far more informative than AT&T. I was waiting on the text from AT&T giving me the green light. It hasn't came yet and who knows how long I would've waited. Thanks for the info Rene Ritchie! Very much appreciated!
Great. Now what about tethering?....
Here's how to install the update WITHOUT installing 3.1 (for you naughty jailbreakers)http://brandongoodman.posterous.com/updating-iphone-atandt-carrier-setti...
Thanks a bunch freiteez!
"I sent mms to test it to a friend. I sent a pic with a subject and some text…nothing happened. One with text and the pic…again, nothing. just sent it as a picture with no text and he got it…anyone else having this problem? i haven't tried it with text again cause he busy."
im having the same problem.. i knew it was going to be a flaw some more
OK so does anyone else have the option for tethering under the network setting
a big Thank yo. For the people that have provided links for people trying to upgrade their mms without losin. 3.0/3.01 jailbreak!
I'm on 3.0 and there is no way I'm upgrading to 3.1 and give up everything I have for something that should of came on the original 2g phone back in 2007.
I will try this and update the forum when I get home from work.
Long live JAILBREAK!!!
A big thank you****
Around 2pm EST, I checked for an update and was able to load 5.5 After the reboot, MMS functionality is present. NE PA.
Tested sending picture and text to Verizon phone. Arrives almost immediately.
Tested receiving picture and text to Verizon phone. Huge delay. (over 10 minutes or more)
Tested sending to picture and text to AT&T non-iPhone. So far not recieved.
Tested sending video to AT&T non-iPhone. Only audio is received.
Download the carrier file from another website, hold alt and click update in iTunes, load carrier file. Won't require upgrade to 3.1 if you're jailbroken. If you have a 3G then 3.1 has already been jailbroken. Just google around people these answers exist and writing something in all caps on a swamped message board will do you no good. Use your brain if you have one.
I have 3.0 os (not jailbroken) and did the 5.5 carrier file update and everything works great, MMS out and in to all carriers....
For anyone that wants to remain on 3.0, or 3.01 but still install the carrier update:
-Download the ipcc from here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/Ca...
-Install it with option/shift update. I'm still on 3.0 (3GS) and it worked fine.
Yep Guys it does work on 3.0 on a 3G S!!
Works in south Georgia. Finally after 2 years I can get mms!!!
Here is how to get it working without using 3.1
So I updated to 5.5 from 5.1, and now my music is gone. It says I have 0 songs, but the amount of space they take up on my phone is still there. When I plug my iPhone into iTunes, the songs show up under "music". Any suggestions outside of a full restore? Please email me at email@example.com if you have a suggestion. Thanks!
I'm jailbroken and have had MMS for over a month now. I'm on an iPhone 3g running 3.0.1
just go to mms.iphoneaero.us and follow his tutorial. All you need is a ATT non-iPhone and to be able to access your ATT account online.....
hey i got an iphone 3gs 32gb factory and legally unlocked that i bought in hong kong which i'm using for tmobile. i have the 3.1 firmware on my iphone, once i sync.......would it let me upgrade for the mms or do you think itunes has predetermined that my carrier is not at&t and wouldn't receive the upgrade?........... thanks
Been getting lots of time-outs sending pic MMS's in Detroit area... red explanation marks... if I keep retrying they eventually go through.
Do half of you actually read the posts before you type or ask a question? I just read through every comment and most of your answers are a few posts prior. READ PEOPLE!!!
i have to recant my last statement. my JB 3.0.1 3GS is NOT working. i see the options in Message settings for MMS, but when trying to send pic i get the red exclamation. F**K! i guess i'll just wait. i'm not willing to lose the functionality of my JB iPhone just to send a pic. i'll email the pic or post it on my blog. until then...
This may sound strange but the 5.5 carrier file update has fixed my battery life issues, I have had the update installed now for several hours on a full charged battery and my battery is still on 99% after sending MMS messages and browsing the web, before the update I could literally watch my battery drain, now that's better news than the MMS to me...
I had 5.1 for a couple weeks now, worked great
When I added one more than 1 person to a text it turned into a GROUP MMS, kind of like a chatroom between more than 3 or more people...Names showed up in smaller letters and you were able to send texts between a bunch of people in the same box. Now that i updated to 5.5, the option is gone
The 1st time mine hung up at 80% too, but I did tried a 2nd time and it went through, The only dif is that I did not have any txt, I did have a subject.
Keep getting timeouts (red explanation marks) sending pics... I hate AT&T. They either need to fix their sh.it or put a hault to new customers. It is obvious they are overloaded and cannot handle any more customers. I want a refund. This should be illegal.
Same as 139, 141, & 146. I sent a couple right when I got it at noon and it worked fine.
Minneapolis, MN.
Servers crashing down???
It's 5pm on the East Coast and 4 in Central, plus it's a Friday. People are getting off work, going home, updating and sending MMS. There's a good chance the server is going down or running really slow. From now till about 8pm EST will be the busy time. If you haven't updated yet I would wait. I haven't b/c of this thiing called work and they tend to frown when you miss time. So I'll be waiting till later tonight.
Message send failure every time but it worked earlier today
AT&T sucks... This still don't work... Months of waiting and it sill don't work... Blackberry bold 2 here I come..
Can only send and receive from other iphones in Missouri. If they are out of network or a different phone no go jo!
Had done all updates, still wasn't able to send or receive MMS, even though my parents' phones were able to. Kept getting the red exclamation. After an hour on the phone with AT&T, they found out that, for some reason, the system was recognizing my phone as a 2G still. They corrected the issue on their end...all is working great now! Just figured I'd give this info in case anyone else had done the updates and still couldn't send/receive....and had previously upgraded from the original 2G iPhone. =)
Note to jailbreakers!
Disable any changes to your carrier name (AT&T Carrier Logo or MIM). This will cause an error.
Running iPhone 3GS w/ 3.0 and carrier file 5.5 just fine. =) Was getting errors from iTunes trying to install the carrier file manually when I had the carrier logo installed.
I can send pics no problem here in Philly suburbs (to ATT and Verizon). Able to receive from ATT, but not from Verizon yet...
Yawn...I sent a photo via text. Back to work now.
yay i have mms now!! im in abita springs, louisiana!!
Works great here in Clearwater, FL(Tampa Bay). Can send/receive photos in texts and to those on other carriers. Took a photo within the Message app and worked just fine
MMS works great, still missing tethering... shakes fist
cant send or receive. and im not surprised its not working...
Finally SUCCESS! Sent two MMS on 3g after sending one on Edge, and received 2 MMS on 3g. This after 3 hours of red !.
Dallas, 3G, 8GB, 3.1, 5.5 carrier file
I am running 3.1 OS and 5.5 carrier in St. Louis MO, and it has only worked one time when i sent my wife a picture from my 3GS to her 3G but only worked just one time. Keep getting red exclamation point after a three minute time out. This is waht we have been waiting for...its faster to send to @mms.att.net!!!!
Still no luck, Called AT&T and they said my phone has to wait to be invited into the network which should be by morning. I would guess this is how they are staggering the roll out. They had me do a couple quick things which did nothing. They said there is no button they can push to make it work nor do they have to much info in tech support on it. Sounds like AT&T left their own tech support in the dark too.
MMS messaging was working fine earlier today but now everything I try to send fails. It's 5pm here in New Mexico so I suspect it might be due to everyone getting off work, getting the update and trying it out but I wanted to know if anyone else is having problems like mine. Just for reference I have a new iPhone 3Gs that has never been hacked in any way so I'm only interested in replies from people with legit systems. I don't want to know about all the jail-breaking issues.
OK great, Apple/AT&T have finally joined the 21st Century. A little too late. Why wasn't this available June 29, 2007? What is Apple's problem that it would not include such a widespread, simple and standard feature in a device billed as revolutionary? And yes, it was Apple and AT&T that held up MMS. Both are guilty. What a joke.
It amazes me that so many people are so angry about the lack of MMS on the iPhone (until, of course, today). AT&T this, Apple that. Blah blah blah.
So many people are acting as if AT&T and Apple have been withholding oxygen and water from the people.
What a joke.
Fck AT&T
Fck Apple.
They lied!
Summer is officially over.
The iPhone is the most incredible mobile device to date. Even before 3G. So MMS came later. It's not like you can't just e-mail stuff to your family and friends text address.
It sounds like a lot of non smartphones are unable to receive MMS messages sent from iPhones anyway.
I really hope most of this is in jest. Sometimes humor or sarcasm is hard to detect in a text presentation.
I'd like to think that the people who come to The iPhone Blog are iPhone enthusiasts and not people who just like to whine and be snide.
I love this site but sometimes the comments are harsh and unwarranted.
People: LOVE your iPhone, and in return, your iPhone will love you back!!
@Lisa: yes, same problem here. Red ! every time I try to send.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 5.1 and 5.5!!!
in 5.1 if you group-texted multiple people, it would be called "GROUP MMS" and make a chat room like thing where everyone could see everyone's input with their name written small above it -- once you update to 5.5 it takes the update away
i totally used that Group MMS all of the time too... this isnt cool, i feel like i just downgraded my phone
Are we charged for two messages if we send pic.+ text. That's the way it appears.
Guys, as frustrating as it may seem, I came from the Blackberry Storm and this is nothing. The Iphone is the ULTIMATE phone, second to none. With the Storm I had hourly problems, freezing, random restarts, millions of battery pulls, failed service. Since I have been here life is heaven!! ATT and Apple may not be perfect but its far better than the competition. Have patience and NO SEXTING!!! HA
Network is running slow ofcourse with everyoe trying to send Picture messages. But it does work. Be patient. All iPhone users are just trying to use it so its jammin up the system.
Working just fine here in NV. Jailbroken phones: I heard from an AT&T rep that if your phone is jailbroken the update will crash your phone and turn phone into a brick! Has this happened to anyone? I know the 3.1 update did crash a lot of phones..plz post if it has.
If you have a jailbroken iphone3.0 or 3.0.1 and want to update your caerier settings dowlnoad itunes 8.2 beta and follow these instructions. Worked great for me and i still have my jailbreak!! http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iPhone/Ca...
Does it work for the 2G? I can't seem to get it working!!!!
finally glad to have my MMS all my friends have been whining about them not being able to send me MMS messages. now they can. so i am happy and so are they. I am in salt lake city utah fyi.
@dondadda76 no MMS does not work for iphone 2G supposedly it does not have hardware that support spicture messaging. if you want it you will have to upgrade to either the 3G or 3GS
Brian: Can you give me one legitimate reason to curse two companies because a function that is completely unnecessary for the iPhone was not included until now? Opinion is one thing. Name calling is not opinion. Opinion is: I really think MMS should have always been a part of the iPhone. Opinion is not: I hate AT&T and Apple because they've screwed us. Or: Let's crash the system!
I honestly think the bulk of negative/nasty comments are from non iPhone people. The iPhone has been on the market, without MMS, for two years. Everyone knew there was no MMS. So if MMS is/was the deal breaker, why did so many people go ahead and buy the iPhone?
I agree that Apple should not have said "by the end of summer" knowing full well that people were going to make their calendars. Maybe a more responsible target could have been: Before the end of the 3rd Quarter.
My comment is aimed at the posters who are acting as if both Apple and AT&T have deprived them of elements that could prevent them from breathing.
THEY PROMISED! I just hope these same people are just as passionate about health care and the economy.

My name is Michelle and I have posted on different forums for two years now. I first came to know of this wonderful group after I lost Hudson to preeclampsia at 6 months 2 years ago today. I am not sure what I have to say today except I feel so much loss and sadness.
The week before his birthday last year I was not feeling well and in a depressed mood. I did not remember the significance of the date until 2 days before his birthday. Then my mood made sense to me although I was so shocked that I had blocked it out.
The same thing happened again this year. On Friday it just hit me that today would be the 25th. I have such a good memory for things good and bad I just can't get why I can block this out.
Most of the people in my family did not say anything to me about Hudson today. I do not know if they have forgotten or if they just did not know what to say. That does not matter. I believe a mother's grief is so deep and personal words do not make much difference.
I have realize that I will always grieve on this day. I am in some ways comforted by that. I just wanted people who understand where I have been to know what I was feeling today.
I will close this letter and I will kiss Travler, my 10 month old. I will pray for God go give me understanding and I will pray for those who have lost as I have.
Thank you for listening.

Benjamin Rogers was arrested Feb. 7 and was one of 14 people involved in the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act case.
Attorney Paul Christian represented Rogers in the motion to reduce bond in Jones County Superior Court Sept. 6, and Assistant District Attorney Keagan Goodrich represented the state.
Jones County Sheriff's Department Investigator Lt. Jimmy Black told the court that Rogers was arrested during a drug transaction with methamphetamine and a firearm in his possession.
"We intercepted him during the transaction," Black stated.
Chadwick Lee Nicholson is considered the kingpin of the organization, and Goodrich said Rogers' brother is considered number two. She said the defendant received drugs from his brother and redistributed them.

How does my pet become infected with heartworm?
Mosquitoes become infected with tiny immature forms of the heartworm, called microfilariae, when they bite an infected animal. Inside the mosquito, the microfilariae develop into larvae. When an infected mosquito bites a new animal, these larvae enter into the new animal's body. The larvae continue to grow and within 65 days, they finish their migration to the heart of the animal. Here they grow into adult worms, sometimes reaching a length of 14 inches. Within 6-8 months after first entering an animal, heartworms are mating and producing new microfilariae, which are released into the bloodstream.
[Back to top]
What do heartworms do?
Adult heartworms obstruct the chambers of the heart and large blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs. Eventually other organs, such as the lungs and kidneys, can also be damaged. If left untreated, heartworm disease usually causes death.
[Back to top]
What is a complete heartworm prevention program?
A complete heartworm prevention program consists of three parts:
At what time of year should I start giving my pet a heartworm preventive?
Many veterinarians recommend heartworm preventives be given to pets year round, because several of these medicines also treat and control certain intestinal parasites. Additionally, it's easier for many owners to simply continue to administer the medication consistently throughout the year instead of calculating the appropriate stop and start dates.
However, if you prefer to give your pet a preventive seasonally, pay close attention to your area's mosquito season. For oral monthly preventives, begin administering the preventive after the first mosquito appears. Consult with your veterinarian regarding how long to give the preventive to your pet, when to start the preventive, and to determine the need for routine testing prior to the first dose of the season.
[Back to top]
Does my cat need to be on heartworm preventive?
Absolutely. Heartworm can be extremely deadly to cats, and there are some important differences between how dogs and cats react to heartworm.
When should I start my puppy or kitten on a heartworm prevention program?
Some heartworm preventives can be given to puppies as young as 4 weeks of age, and kittens at 6 weeks of age. Consult with your veterinarian and consider the preventive you choose. Pay close attention to the medication's label and follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
[Back to top]
Can my ferret get heartworm disease?
Yes. Once considered rare, heartworm infection in ferrets is on the rise. Like cats, treating ferrets with heartworm disease is difficult. Additionally, because of their small size, only one adult worm can cause death.
For this reason, we recommend any ferret that could potentially be exposed to mosquitoes be placed on a heartworm preventive. Consult with your veterinarian about a preventive medication for your ferret.
[Back to top]
What are the signs of adult heartworm infestation?
In most cases, until the infestation is considered severe, there are relatively few symptoms. Dogs with adult heartworms may appear listless, may lose weight, or lack endurance when exercising. A cough is often the first sign of an infection.
In cats, signs may include coughing, vomiting, difficult or rapid breathing, seizures, poor appetite, and weight loss.
Quick and careful medical attention from a veterinarian is needed.
[Back to top]
How is heartworm disease treated?
The arsenic-based drugs used to kill adult heartworms are administered under close supervision of the veterinarian. Usually this requires an in-hospital stay for dogs during the first few days of treatment. As the adult heartworms die, they may obstruct blood vessels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. To help reduce the possibility of this condition, the animal must be kept extremely quiet (cage rest) for 4 weeks following treatment. In severe cases, surgery is performed to remove the worms.
Getting rid of adult heartworms can be stressful, but is avoidable by putting your pet on a heartworm prevention program.
[Back to top]
Can humans get heartworm disease?
Yes, but it is very rare. Usually in humans, the worms migrate to the lungs instead of the heart. Here they form a lesion that can be seen on X-rays. There are normally few symptoms noticed with human heartworm infestation. Surgical removal of the lung lesion may be performed, if necessary.
[Back to top]
Does my dog need a test before I start giving him heartworm preventives?
The American Heartworm Society advises that all adult dogs being started on a heartworm preventive for the first time be tested. After that annual re-testing should be performed. The frequency of testing should take into account variables such as:

Back to school happened today. SO hard to believe.

CONCORD, N.C. – This is the last weekend to pre-enter for the April 5-7 Johnny Jacumin Memoral at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C.
Click here to view and print the Kershaw Road Race entry blank.
This is the 14th consecutive year the WKA VEGA / TS Racing Road Racing Series has run CMP's 2.279-mile road course. The event is titled after the late Johnny Jacumin, head of the Karolina Karters, which promoted WKA Road Racing nationals at Kershaw and Rockingham, N.C., for a number of years. Jacumin's group co-promoted the CMP Road Race with WKA until his health began declining just a few years ago.
Officials did a preliminary count on pre-entries and current numbers look to match or surpass last year's totals.
For the third consecutive year, the National Road Racing Series year-end awards banquet will be held in conjunction with the Johnny Jacumin Memorial.
The banquet will be held at the CMP Palmetto Club on Saturday night after day one of racing. Ticket price will again be $5 per person for a barbeque dinner. More information on the banquet will be released on Monday via WKA's Pit Board.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear you go so much sicker so quickly, but glad you and Levi are on your way to health.
Postpartum PE can get worse up to 6 weeks PP, so please continue to take care of yourself and report your bps and symptoms to your doctor.
Great news that Levi's lungs are healthy and strong, and that he's slowly figuring out this eating thing - and good luck with breastfeeding, it's more challenging with our little ones but quite a few of our members have managed it. Is there a NICU lactation consultant to help you if you need it?
Definitely prayers that Levi can come home soon!

Though I have yet to complete last week's notes for Joseph Conway's will, this is not the day. It is a day I can transcribe another letter from the papers belonging to Maria Lee Palmer Smith, my husband's great-grandmother. This letter was written to her mother, Margaret Meredith Palmer, in 1851.
Mrs M M. Palmer
near Kilmarnock
Lancaster Co
NotesMadam:Your Kind invitation could not have been made at any time, more convenient, than the present. Hence I have a thousand obligations for your exquisite goodness. May our dear Lord grant me as many opportunities of proving my gratitude, as my heart desires.
And yet, Madam, I shall not enjoy the happiness of seeing you, your dear little children, and my own good William, since I am condemned by my physician, to retire for some days to the north. Be sure, this is a penance to me. I like the good Virginians So much, that it would afford me the greatest consolations, it would perhaps restore my health, if I could do them so good. Let us cheerfully submit to the holy will of God.
Please, Madam, receive my hearty thanks for your kindness and charity, together with the promise of praying for you and all those who are dear to your heart, as often as I think of you.
With the sincerest esteem, in union with your holy prayers
most truly yours in αstFeast of St. Mary Magd.
Balte. 1851 J. Francis.
Mrs. M. Palmer
The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene is celebrated on July 22nd.
I find the letter of interest for two reasons. The first is the size (I added a penny to the photograph for scale) and flowery writing of the day. The second that the letter (and the fact that it was kept by both Palmer and her daughter) is one more indication of the strong Catholic ties maintained by Palmer while she lived in Virginia. William, her brother, was confirmed a Roman Catholic at some time in 1851. He would take his vows as a Redemptorist priest in 1853.
I have not been able to identify J. Francis. There is no obvious match in the 1850 census in Baltimore. He may be a Redemptorist, but I have not found him in any of the order's histories.
I am not certain about the symbol in the closing line but believe it is the Greek letter α (alpha) or icthys symbol. It seems to be used in lieu of writing Christ.
Francis, (Baltimore, MD) to Margaret M. Palmer. Letter. 22 July 1851. Privately held. Frederick, MD. Published with permission.

BOTTEREAUX NANTAIS: Beignets for Carnival
A sea of humankind swims outside the windows of our old apartment overlooking the bustling main thoroughfare of Nantes centreville. From our perch above this never-ending flow of bodies old and young, male and female, rich and poor, we watched as fascinated children staring into a giant fishbowl, endless hours ogling, inventing stories about each one below us, searching the crowds for look-alikes of the famous and infamous, endless hours of entertainment, amazed at such a variety of people all congregated in this one spot, in our city, all coming together for our own private show.
Women in tight jeans and high heels, swags of gold chains looped around their necks, clutching oversized handbags and laden down with elegant, beribboned shopping sacks, les Nantaises scurried by, always in a hurry, affording merely a glance left or right into the glass panes of the less-than-designer boutiques that line the sidewalks of our own humble street. Rebels, homeless or not, dressed all in scruffy black, hair stuck out every which way, backpacks or sleeping bags strapped to their backs, cigarettes dangling from their lips, traveling in packs with dogs trotting at their feet, parking themselves in circles like Scouts around a bonfire, hands out to the passing shoppers, begging, nay insisting, for the odd coin. Teens skulking down the sidewalk, book bags slung over rounded shoulders, hair hanging in their eyes, the newest fad, or moving along in great crane-like strides, gabbing non-stop amongst their gaggle of friends, always busy, forever important. And not to leave out the strange and the unidentified, wandering the streets of this city like lost souls, waiting for the next bus to leave.
We stood at our post year in and year out, experiencing the changing of the seasons from one story up, this distance divided by glass. We watched as the Christmas decorations were hung, great ropes of colored and sparkling lights, garlands twining gaily up lampposts, and we listened to the holiday music piped in, bursting forth from loudspeakers across the tiny square just as the official shopping season began and all the way, day in and day out, through to the end. And two months later we watched as cherry pickers crawled up and down the roadways, yellow-hatted men coming to end the festivities as each light was unscrewed and dropped to waiting hands below. Springtime's inauguration came with great pots of flowers in reds and yellows and shades of violet, hung from where those Christmas lights celebrated the winter season. Summertime arrived as bar and bistro doors were flung open and tiny tables for two or four were moved outside, turning the streets into lively, noisy terraces, the clatter of cutlery, the clinking of glasses amid shouts of laughter our own warm-weather birdsong.
And parades galore of every kind took to that street and we never missed a single one: Christmas, Carnival or Gay Pride, we stood at our posts, Marty in our arms, and watched, enchanted as larger-than-life snowmen and Santas danced down that road to our old holiday favorites. Or the brightly costumed, tossing candy into the crowds, bright, shiny, feathered peacocks on stilts or gaily decorated trucks, disco music blaring, bodies swaying to the beat, bedazzling the gawking crowds who never failed to join in the songs, allowing themselves to be carried away by the energy and spirit of the festivities. We missed not even one single manif', those highly charged political demonstrations, monthly if not weekly occurrences in these highly charged times. We watched, heads shaking in disbelief and annoyance, as noisy, rambunctious union members, teachers, students, nurses and doctors shouted and waved their collective fist at the government, demanding reform while refusing to budge, angry slogans sprayed across banners and blasted from bullhorns, time and time again, entire communities spilling down the street in solidarity and determination before wandering off to our neighborhood bars for a cool drink and a smoke.
But we no longer live in that apartment, the hub of the universe. Our axis has shifted from the noisy, busy center to a silent place where few humans roam. From our tall, elegant French windows where we now live all we can see is the back of the Préfecture and the small Place abutting the regal green gates. We watch as, twice a year, the well-dressed upper crust political and military elite sweep through the impeccably tended garden and the grand doors for annual garden parties, or peep over our balcony as M. le Maire, our illustrious mayor, stands at attention in front of the Guard as honors are given on the Fourteenth of July. The seasons now slide one into the next silently with no fanfare, no loud, colorful announcement in the form of a parade or decorations, the only music that seeps in through our windows is the distant, muffled sounds of far-off demonstrations passing in protest in front of the Préfecture, symbol of the government. The occasional pop of a firecracker or the whiff of manure dumped at the end of the road by angry farmers gives us no indication of reason, no sense of time. Nantes, for all of her glory and size, is really just a sleepy little hamlet with an undoubtedly small-town feel and ambiance and here, just outside the magic circle of activity, all lies quiet and peaceful, as time slips by. The seasons punctuated by parades and demonstrations like inked-in reminders on our own private calendar, keeping us up to date, never letting us miss one holiday, one event, no longer reach us in the far-off confines of our new part of town.
We would never be able to follow the calendar or even remember one holiday if it weren't for the bakery goods, the special festive treats that have been baked and sold generation after generation, the traditional confections announcing each and every celebration, welcoming in each season as loudly and clearly as any newspaper headline. Buttercream-rich bûches every Christmas, golden, almond-flavored, rum-infused Galette des Rois for Epiphany, tiny Niflettes or that special XVIIIth century-inspired pistachio-raspberry gâteau for Toussaint, All Saint's Day, Nids de Pâques, luscious cakes piled high with swirls of creamy frosting, dotted with colorful candy eggs nestled on shelves amid the chocolate bells, chickens and eggs of Easter, cellophane-wrapped chocolate fish for April Fool's Day, every single holiday has her very own traditional patisserie, pastry, confection or treat and they all, each and every one of them, arrive on the same day and disappear as suddenly, all in unison. Simply walk into any bakery or pastry shop in France and peruse the display of cakes and such and you will never need any other seasonal or holiday harbinger again. Although I do love a parade.
Merveilles, Tourtisseaux, Oreillettes, Bugnes or Bottereaux, these delectable little beignets, some feathery-light pillows, some crunchy, crispy confections, each and every one is a specialty for this Mardi Gras and Carnival season in France, the name and possibly the shape only changing from region to region. Trays piled high with Bottereaux, the rum-infused beignet specific to my adopted hometown of Nantes, cut into squares or lozenges, freshly fried, dusted with copious amounts of powdered or granulated sugar, begin appearing in bakeries and pastry shops throughout France shortly before Mardi Gras, and remain an absolute fixture through the end-of-March festivities. I recently posted a simpler, kid-friendly (for baking) baking powder version of the Bottereau on Huffington Post, which makes a denser, cake-like beignet, almost like a fried version of a brioche or our own Fouace Nantaise. Here I offer you the more traditional yeast version of this scrumptious, addictive treat. Lighter, airier, more donut like, the cake itself is barely sweet with a subtle hint of rum, the perfect delectable, backdrop for lots of powdered sugar. Eat them while they are still fresh and hot and you may just find yourself wanting this season to last just a little longer.
I'll be sending this to Susan of Wild Yeast for her wonderful weekly yeastie event Yeastspotting!

Carnival beignets from Nantes
2 ¾ cups (380 g) flour
2 ¼ tsps active dry yeast
Large pinch salt
2 Tbs (30 g) granulated sugar
3/8 cup (100 ml) milk
9 Tbs (125 g) unsalted butter
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ tsp vanilla
2 Tbs rum
Oil for frying
Powdered/confectioner's sugar for dusting
Whisk 1 cup of the flour, the active dry yeast, salt and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
Heat the milk and butter together gently over medium-low heat until most of the butter (about two thirds) has melted. Remove from the heat and stir until all of the butter has melted. Touch the liquid with the back of a finger; it should feel warm or tepid which is exactly what you want. Warm liquid activates the yeast while too cold will have no effect and too hot will kill the yeast.
Pour the warm milk and butter over the dry ingredients in the bowl and stir until you have a smooth paste. Add the lightly beaten eggs, the vanilla and the rum and stir until blended. Stir in one more cup of the flour mixture until smooth. Blend in another half a cup flour, forming a dough. Sprinkle the last half cup flour on a clean work surface and scrape the dough out of the bowl onto the flour and knead until the flour is incorporated and you have a very smooth, elastic dough, about 5 minutes.
Place the ball of dough in a clean, lightly-greased bowl, turning the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic and allow to rest and rise for about 3 hours.
Scrape the risen dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out to a thickness between ¼ and ½ inch (1/2 to 1 cm). Using a sharp knife, pastry or pizza cutter, slice smoothly into 2-inch (5 cm) strips. Then cut each strip into 2-inch squares. Heat the oil to 350°F (180°C) then slide a few squares of dough in at a time – you not only don't want to crowd the Bottereaux but putting in too many at a time will lower the temperature of the hot oil! The beignets will float up to the top of the oil then begin to brown. Gently and carefully turning the beignets over once or twice or so during frying, allow them to turn a deep golden color on both sides. They should also be well puffed up. Using a slotted spoon, scoop up the bottereaux and allow to drain quickly on paper toweling. Continue to fry all of the squares of dough.
Place all the freshly fried, warm Bottereaux on a serving platter and dust with generous amounts of powdered/confectioner's sugar. Eat warm and fresh.

I long to be in the midst of a 'bakery' parade sistah....but when you visit, I have to take you to a crazy Indian fair. There's colourful cacophony & madness in the air, and spicy street food tempts you. Until then, off to gorge on these delish beignets!

I'm always delighted by local French baked goods, I think it's wonderful how each place has its own speciality you don't see elsewhere from the Tourteaus on Ile de Re to the Tarte Tropezienne (I MUST make a Tarte Tropezienne sometime).
I love the French word "beignet" too, it reminds me of lying on a beach on a hot day with my eyes shut and hearing a young French girl chanting "beignets, beignets" in a high sing songy voice as she strode past all the holidaymakers selling doughnuts. I never really understood who would want a warm doughnut in such hot weather but it's a nostalgic memory nonetheless!!

Beautiful photographs and beautiful recipe. What memories! You lived there? I visited for one entire day and was mesmerized. Loved the indoor food hall. Oh, my! I couldn't eat and taste it all, but took photographs of every square inch. I did buy enough for a picnic lunch for myself and my students (as I took them on European Tours every spring for years) and we ate under an Olive Tree, I recall. Quite the dreamy afternoon. Thanks for the imagery and the trip down my own memory lane!

Gmail Labs has two useful experimental features: hierarchical labels and message preview. If you used Greasemonkey, it's likely that you've tried Folders4Gmail and Mihai Parparita's Conversation Preview, two scripts with similar functionality to the new Gmail Labs experiments.
Nested Labels is just a cosmetic change that lets you create labels which are displayed hierarchically. If you enable this experiment and create a label like Mailing-Lists/Linux, you'll notice that Linux is displayed as a subfolder of Mailing-Lists. Unfortunately, all the other places that let you interact with labels show the label as Mailing-Lists/Linux.
"You can create complex hierarchies of labels if that's the way you like to organize your mail, and you can expand/collapse labels to save space. You'll always be able to tell whether a given label contains unread messages in its collapsed child labels by looking at whether it's bold or not," explains Google.
Message Sneak Peek shows a small preview of a conversation, so you can quickly read the first sentences without opening the conversation. Right-click on a conversation from the inbox or from another view and you should see the first unread message from that conversation. If you've read all messages from a conversation, Gmail shows the last message.
There's also a keyboard shortcut for showing the preview pane for the currently selected conversation: h. You can navigate to the previous/next conversation using k and j or dismiss the pane using Escape.
{ Thanks, Sterling. }

Big Mountain Enduro: Moab
October 2nd, 2013
"When people think of Moab, they think of all the red rock, and the rivers, and the canyons and they don't really think of golden aspens and high alpine peaks — but it's a big part of what Moab's all about."
The Big Mountain Enduro mountain bike race in Moab is all about that, sprinkled with a little bit of competition, by bike. Check it out!
Big congrats to our very own Osprey Athlete Macky Franklin for competing this epic ride.

Yeah, I'm worried with all these shootings recently. I think the administration is going to be pushed hardcore to institute some kind of bans, whether it be mag capacity, or type of firearms.
Why does it have to be Christmas, and me with no disposable income until the 1st......
My heart goes out to the families.
I wish all teachers were armed.

Don't let nerve pain keep you on the sidelines
By Cindy Kuzma, Pure Matters
Regular exercise is important for controlling your diabetes. That doesn't change just because you have neuropathy or nerve damage caused by high blood sugar. But you may have to take special precautions to stay in the game.
Reap the Benefits of Working Out
Physical activity keeps your weight and cholesterol down. It also helps your blood sugar stay in check. Your nerve damage is less likely to progress when these factors are in control.
When you have diabetes and neuropathy, your chances of falling are higher than normal. But exercises that improve your strength and balance can counter this risk. What's more, regular physical activity:
- Reduces your risk for heart disease
- Helps you maintain your ability to do everyday tasks
- Prevents and helps manage other diabetes complications, including kidney and eye problems
Experts recommend that people with diabetes get 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week. That's enough to burn at least 1,000 calories weekly. Moderate activities include:
- Brisk walking
- Biking slower than 10 miles per hour
- Gardening
- Ballroom dancing
- Water aerobics
Exercising with Peripheral Neuropathy
With this condition, diabetes-related nerve damage affects your arms, legs, hands, and feet. You'll usually develop symptoms first in your feet or legs. You might feel numbness, burning, pain, or tingling.
This type of neuropathy can make it harder to control your movements. It also can mask the pain of an injury, especially to your feet. Protect your feet or legs during exercise by:
- Wearing the proper shoes for your activity and making sure they fit well. Shoes with soles made of gel or air can reduce the impact on your feet.
- Changing your socks before and after you sweat. Consider polyester or polyester-cotton blend varieties to reduce blister risk.
- Being consistent with your activity level -- for instance, walking for the same amount of time each day. One study found this might reduce your chances of getting ulcers on your feet.
- Checking your feet carefully before and after exercise. Look for blisters or other signs of injury or infection.
Always talk with your doctor before beginning an exercise program. If your neuropathy is severe, he or she might advise activities where you're not supporting your body weight. For example, choose biking, swimming, rowing, and arm exercises instead of running or walking.
Exercising with Autonomic Neuropathy
Sometimes, nerve damage also affects involuntary actions in your body. This is called autonomic neuropathy. Symptoms include problems with your bladder, digestive troubles, and difficulty with sexual activity. It may also impair your cardiovascular and respiratory systems and the nerves connected to your eyes.
Because it affects your heart and blood pressure, you might find that moving quickly feels more difficult with autonomic neuropathy. Talk with your doctor before beginning a new regime or if you're having trouble with your current workouts. You might be more comfortable with lower-intensity activities.
Once you've cleared your plan with your health care team, remember these tips:
- Cool down after working out. This can help to keep your blood pressure from dropping too low.
- Tell your doctor if you feel dizzy during or after activity.
- Avoid exercising in very hot or cold weather. Your body may have trouble keeping its temperature constant. And drink plenty of fluids, especially before you begin.
Don't gauge your effort by your heart rate. Instead, go by how hard you feel you're working. In the moderate zone, you should be able to talk but not sing during your activity.

Longer Module Lifetime Provides Greater Investment Returns
Backsheets play a critical role in protecting PV modules and delivering needed module lifetime.
Backsheets protect the modules from the environment while providing electrical insulation. Backsheet failures can lead to module failure modes such as catastrophic failure, unacceptable power degradation and safety failures. The impact can be very significant, ranging from brand and reputation damage to bodily harm.
The bottom line is that for approximately a penny a watt ($.013), you can help protect your company and your customers from expensive failures and safety issues. The lifetime gains and resulting financial benefits far outweigh the incremental investment in higher quality materials. In today's dynamic market environment, it makes good sense to offer PV modules that stand the test of time.
Tedlar® PVF Film-Based Backsheets
DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film provides durable, weather-resistant pv backsheet for photovoltaic PV solar modules
Promoting the Sustainable Development of China's Solar Energy Industry
Huanghe Upstream Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. (HHD) and DuPont are working closely to build awareness about the role of materials in ensuring highly durable and reliable solar systems in China

"Unique in the world:life in the private residence of this 19th century porcelain manufacturer"Gilles Dudognon, Maître de Maison, presents his property:
Just outside Limoges, there is a peaceful haven where the lush vegetation is at its most beautiful. Time seems to stand still at La Chapelle Saint-Martin, where guests can step back in time and experience what life in the private residence of this 19th century porcelain manufacturer would have been like. Those who are partial to a beautiful landscape will instantly fall in love with the chapel surrounded by 35 hectares of 200 year-old trees. The surrounding countryside is delightful, and the grounds, ponds and old dock are the perfect place for quiet contemplation. While the house and gardens are historic, the inspirational cuisine is refreshingly modern.

Would love to eat Dannys hairy ass out! He is so hot!

The Belleville, Ill., native notched a 24-11-3 mark and 2.64 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in 40 career CHL outings with Missouri and the Allen Americans spanning two seasons (2009-10; 2011-12).

Rose Mitchell, director of The Salvation Army of Aiken's soup kitchen, was ready and waiting impatiently when her help arrived around noon on Thursday.
People were standing in a long line outside the organization's homeless shelter on Park Avenue, and they were hungry.
After a few quick hellos, Mitchell directed the participants in the United Way of Aiken County's Loaned Professionals Program to roll paper napkins around plastic forks and set up chairs at the tables in the dining room.
Then they had to slice cake, fill cups with ice, pour lemonade and put pulled barbecue chicken, carrots and other food on plates.
Working in the soup kitchen at lunchtime was one of the many activities that the Loaned Professionals participated in this week during their training.
"This has been very eye-opening for me," said Loaned Professional Trenadia Jordan of Security Federal Bank. "I've heard about these organizations, but I never knew what went on behind the scenes. To see how much they help people warms your heart, and, for me to be a part of it, I couldn't ask for anything better."
Also participating in the Loaned Professionals Program this year are Jim Moore, a retiree who is sponsored by Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, and 2012 Clemson University graduate Mckenzie Sealy, who is sponsored by CH2M HILL.
John Mickalonis of Savannah River Nuclear Solutions/Savannah River National Laboratory and Jennifer Shoup of the WSI-SRS Team are overseeing the Loaned Professionals' training.
Following this week's training sessions, the Loaned Professionals will work for the United Way for nine more weeks, assisting with the organization's 2013 fundraising campaign that kicks off today.
"They are the primary contacts for usually around 60 different accounts," said Candis Moyer, director of resource development for the United Way. "They take materials to companies and other local businesses. They make speeches, they bring in people from our partner agencies to speak, they set up tours and then, toward the end, they go back out and collect the money raised by the companies."
The United Way's corporate partners provide the Loaned Professionals, and the organization is grateful for the support.
"We can't put a dollar figure on it, but we couldn't do our fundraising campaign without them because we only have a staff of five," Moyer said. "We appreciate the companies allowing them to come. They make a huge difference."
Dede Biles is a general assignment reporter for the Aiken Standard.
She has been with the newspaper since January 2013.
A native of Concord, N.C., she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Photo by AIMING FOR THE PODIUM, AGAIN: No American has come closer to winning an elite world cyclocross title than Jonathan Page. (Kristof Ramon)
The 35-year-old Page is also one of the few riders to have left the States to race 'cross full time in Europe. While several top American riders—Tim Johnson, Ryan Trebon, Jeremy Powers—go to Europe to compete in a handful of world cup races at different times during the season, Page resides in Oudenaarde, Belgium, year-round. He's committed himself to racing against the world's best all season long, and he's been doing that for the better part of the past eight years.
With the 2011-2012 'cross season now starting up in earnest, Page spoke with Bicycling this week about racing in Belgium, traveling to races with his family, and his penchant for sloppy weather.
Bicycling: Your team, Planet Bike, is made up of just one rider, you. What's it like to have no teammates?
Page: Cyclocross is pretty much an individual sport. Even if you're on the Belgian national team, you're fighting it out with the other Belgians. For me, it's hardest when it's dry out and tactics play a role, but luckily I'm doing OK in that department.
Bicycling: So it's every man for himself.
Page: It is. And you can be the most prepared person out there, but the fact is there are a lot of obstacles to overcome in 'cross and there are a lot of variables. And, OK, you can try to even out the variables, but you don't know what's going to happen in the bike race. That's the great thing about the world championships. For that one day, that one hour, anything can happen. And that's what I like about 'cross, that there's so many variables to overcome—during the race, even during a lap. The weather, the conditions. I like that it's part of the game.
Bicycling: And the worse the conditions, the better you perform, right?
Page: I definitely like the summer and the sunshine, but when it comes to 'cross, I'll take messy. I'll take whatever I get, but it helps my chances if I have mud or snow, or something out of the ordinary.
Bicycling: You're one of the only guys from the U.S. to race over in Europe the full season. Did you have someone there to show you the ropes?
Page: Yeah, there was Paul Curley, years ago. He did 'cross in Switzerland, and I got the chance to go to Steinmaur to meet the people he stayed with. He had all the contacts.
Bicycling: Did you have any romantic notions about racing in Europe when you set off?
Page: Yeah, but that mystique is gone quickly. (Laughs) Now I'm committed. It's like golf. You have a crappy round but you have one good shot and, you're like, I can try that again. I still have enough of those good shots that I feel I can still improve. And to tell you the truth, I don't have any other real options right now. I'm committed; I'll do this as long as I can.
Bicycling: Your wife and kids live with you in Belgium. Is it true you travel to the races together?
Page: Yep. That's the whole point for us as a family, to be together, for me to race and be supported by my family. And we have given up a lot to come over. We have a house here, and we are certainly in the culture. Our kids are going to a Dutch-speaking school. My daughter brings homework home and I can do it with her. She teaches me how to spell things and pronounce things. I still can't do it correctly, but she and her brother can. My wife, Cori, has been with me this whole time, and of course the kids came later. I'm a lucky guy really.
Page thrives in tough conditions where he can use his technical skills. He says he prefers the races in Europe, which often call for more running and have muddier, hillier courses, compared with the flatter, faster races in the U.S. (Gerrit Vanderlinden)
Bicycling: You won the silver medal at the 2007 world championships. How do you look at that result today?
Page: It's time to do it again.
Bicycling: How did that result affect you and your career?
Page: That one result changed my life. If you win the world championships, that's going to change your life also. It was a lot of fun to have that happen, to have a great result. But yeah, people remember that and they want you to get that result again. And for me now, I'd like to get back to not just doing OK—I want to do better than OK. People do let you know that you had a great result, but now I've got to continue to back it up with other good results. It's been enough time not to be on the worlds podium.
It's a huge game really, and that's what I like about it. But it's not a given; it's a hard way to make a living. I'm very, very lucky to be doing it. This is my dream job, but it's not always secure, and the fact that I could get hurt tomorrow. And that did happen to us before, with my shoulder injury before the world championships last year, so I've been there, and I don't want to go back. I tell myself, even when I'm out there in the pouring rain and it's freezing, I'm a pretty lucky guy to be doing it.

Michael Weis, winemaker at Groth Vineyards & Winery since 1994, brings more than three decades of experience with Oakville grapes and wines to the job of nurturing the best possible expression of the vineyards.
Groth Vineyards & Winery Founded 1981 • In 1981, the Dennis and Judith purchased a 121 acre parcel in the heart of the Oakville appellation with the vision of making world class Cabernet Sauvignon.
• In 1982, they added a second vineyard of 44 acres located south of Yountville focused on Merlot and Chardonnay.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
