As a child I loved A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh especially "The House at Pooh Corner". I also loved the smell of those books with their shiny paper (I don't know if this was significant, but I'm okay).
Today is Winnie the Pooh's 85th birthday and to commemorate his author A. A. Milne, Findmypast.co.uk has been investigating Milne's family history:
"Educational ancestors
We discovered that Milne came from a family of school teachers. Our first stop was the census records on findmypast.co.uk where we found Milne in the 1891 census. He is recorded at Henley House School, Mortimer Road, Hampstead, aged nine. He is listed as a scholar with his father, John Milne, the schoolmaster. John was born in Jamaica and was married to Sarah Heginbotham. See the record here:
Ten years later, the 1901 census tells us that Milne's father had moved on from Henley House School and was the schoolmaster at Streete Court School, Westgate-on-Sea, Kent. Milne was living with his aunt and uncle as a Cambridge undergraduate at this time.
Milne's uncle, Alexander Milne, was the principal of the Boys' Private School, University School, Holmesdale Gardens, Hastings. Alexander is listed in the Teachers' Registration Council Registers 1914-1948 on findmypast.co.uk. He registered on 1 July 1919 and his career in education spanned 1871 to 1932. View Alexander's record here:
Our research revealed further evidence of teaching in Milne's family. Milne's mother and maternal grandmother, both named Sarah Heginbotham, were school mistresses at Brooklyn House, Wellington, Shropshire at the time of the1871 census.
Milne's paternal grandfather, William Milne, was recorded as being an inspector of schools in the 1861 census, which made us wonder whether he was the catalyst for the family's teaching tradition.
At the time of the 1911 census, Milne was living at Broadgates, Steeple Bumpstead in Essex with his parents. Milne was recorded as being a journalist, working on his 'own account and Punch'. By this time, his father was a retired schoolmaster.
Milne on the move
We were intrigued to find Milne 20 years later in the passenger lists on findmypast.co.uk travelling as a first class passenger to the USA with his wife, Dorothy.
The couple were aboard the Aquitania, which departed Southampton for New York on 21 October 1931. In the detailed log, Milne is described as an author and his address is recorded as being 13 Mallord Street SW3. View the record here:
As Milne's ancestry demonstrates, you can glean huge amounts of detail when you find your ancestors in theTeachers' Registration Council Registers 1914-1948 on findmypast.co.uk. We are working in partnership with theSociety of Genealogists to bring you these rich records."

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage)by Stieg Larsson
National Bestseller
Staff Pick
In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, corporate intrigue, subtle psychology, explosive content, and a sensational heroine make for a high-caliber novel.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.
Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.
"A blockbuster story . . . The plot is interesting and credible but above all the heroine is splendidly original . . . An extraordinary book." Literary Review
"What a cracking novel! I haven't read such a stunning thriller debut for years. The way Larsson interweaves his two stories had me in thrall from beginning to end. Brilliantly written and totally gripping." Minette Walters
"This is a striking novel, full of passion, an evocative sense of place and subtle insights into venal, corrupt minds . . . The journalist and the hacker are ingenious creations." The Observer
"A whip-smart heroine and a hunky guy who needs her help? This sexy, addictive thriller is everything you never knew you could get from a crime novel." Glamour
"The ballyhoo is fully justified . . . The novel scores on every front — character, story, atmosphere, and the translation." The Times
"As vivid as bloodstains on snow." Lee Child
"One of the greatest crime-fiction novels I have ever read . . . As mesmerizing as it is insightful. . . The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a multi-layered, multi-character tale by a writer of some considerable power. Full of social conscience and compassion, with insight into the nature of moral corruption, it knocked me out . . . Mikael Blomkvist and his partner, the enigmatic and deeply troubled Lisbeth Salander, will soon join the pantheon of greatest crime-fiction characters that populate the genre at its apex." Shots Magazine
"An absorbing and idiosyncratic crime novel." Daily Mail
"Mesmerizing. . . . Imagine the movies of Ingmar Bergman crossed with Thomas Harris's novel The Silence of the Lambs." USA Today
"Unique and fascinating. . . . It's like a blast of cold, fresh air to read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Chicago Tribune
"As vivid as bloodstains on snow — and a perfect one-volume introduction to the unique strengths of Scandinavian crime fiction." Lee Child
"Larsson's novel could serve as the definition of page-turner . . . The worst part: We have to wait until summer '09 for the second installment." Time Out New York
"The biggest Swedish phenom since ABBA." People
"Crime fiction has seldom needed to salute and mourn such a stellar talent as Larsson's in the same breath." The Sunday Times
Inspector Sejer returns in this expertly crafted mystery about troubled teenagers—and two tragic deaths.
Set in the mid-1600s in the Bavarian town of Schongau, a hangman, Jakob Kuisl, is asked to find out whether an ominous tattoo found on a dying boy means that witchcraft has come to town.
Magdalena, the clever and headstrong daughter of Bavarian hangman Jakob Kuisl, lives with her father outside the village walls and is destined to be married off to another hangmans son—except that the town physicians son is hopelessly in love with her. And her fathers wisdom and empathy are as unusual as his despised profession. It is 1659, the Thirty Years War has finally ended, and there hasnt been a witchcraft mania in decades. But now, a drowning and gruesomely injured boy, tattooed with the mark of a witch, is pulled from a river and the villagers suspect the local midwife, Martha Stechlin.
Jakob Kuisl is charged with extracting a confession from her and torturing her until he gets one. Convinced she is innocent, he, Magdalena, and her would-be suitor to race against the clock to find the true killer. Approaching Walpurgisnacht, when witches are believed to dance in the forest and mate with the devil, another tattooed orphan is found dead and the town becomes frenzied. More than one person has spotted what looks like the devil—a man with a hand made only of bones. The hangman, his daughter, and the doctors son face a terrifying and very real enemy.
Taking us back in history to a place where autopsies were blasphemous, coffee was an exotic drink, dried toads were the recommended remedy for the plague, and the devil was as real as anything, The Hangmans Daughter brings to cinematic life the sights, sounds, and smells of seventeenth-century Bavaria, telling the engrossing story of a compassionate hangman who will live on in readers imaginations long after theyve put down the novel.
"An intimate study of broken lives that showcases Fossums poet past." —Bloomberg
In this chilling addition to the internationally best-selling Inspector Konrad Sejer series, the detective must face down his memories and fears as he investigates the deaths of two troubled young men. The first victim, Jon Moreno, was getting better after a mysterious guilt had driven him to a nervous breakdown one year earlier. His psychiatrist said so, as did his new friend at the hospital, Molly Gram, with her little-girl-lost looks. So when he drowns in Dead Water Lake, Sejer hesitates to call it a suicide.
Then the corpse of another young man is found, a Vietnamese immigrant. And Sejer begins to feel his age weigh on him. Does he still have the strength to pursue the elusive explanations for human evil? A harrowing, masterfully wrought mystery from the celebrated Karin Fossum.
"Fascinatingly readable and very cleverly done." —Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse series

|The Game Story:
|CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The No. 15 North Carolina men's lacrosse team scored seven successive goals in the second and third quarters to erase an early lead by No. 14 Notre Dame as the Tar Heels ran past the Fighting Irish 11-8 before 1,544 fans at Fetzer Field Saturday afternoon. Junior defenseman Tim Kaiser and sophomore goalkeeper Grant Zimmerman led the Tar Heel defense and freshman attackman Gavin Petracca had his second successive five-point game for Coach John Haus' team.
The Heels improve to 5-1 on the season and have now surpassed their win total for the entire 2007 season when they finished 4-10. The Tar Heels have bounced back with a pair of home wins since a loss at Navy on March 2. The Fighting Irish suffered their second successive loss and dropped to 2-2 on the campaign. It was UNC's first win over Notre Dame since 2004.
Notre Dame led 5-3 at the end of the first quarter but the Heels outscored the Fighting Irish 4-0 in the second quarter and then scored the first three goals of the third quarter to take their biggest lead of the game at 10-5 with 6:40 left in the third period. The Fighting Irish outscored the Tar Heels the rest of the way 3-1 but the UNC defense repeatedly frustrated Notre Dame in the late stages, not allowing a goal in the final 9:05 of the match despite the fact the Irish had numerous offensive possessions.
UNC was led defensively by Tim Kaiser who had his second successive great game, claiming six ground balls and leading the Tar Heels in caused turnovers with three. Grant Zimmerman, who scored the first goal by a UNC goalkeeper since the 1992 season, left the game briefly in the first quarter but returned to finish with 10 saves and only five goals allowed in 56:41 of play.
Gavin Petracca had his second successive game with five points as he scored two goal and three assists. Three other Tar Heels had two goals each -- junior midfielder Nick Tintle, sophomore attackman Bart Wagner and sophomore attackman Michael Burns. Sophomore midfielder Ben Hunt had two assists for UNC.
Notre Dame was led by Ryan Hoff with two goals while six other Fighting Irish players scored one goal each. Will Yeatman finished with a goal and two assists.
UNC outshot the Fighting Irish 42-32 and had a decided edge in the key ground battle category, 40-30. The Fighting Irish had a 14-11 edge in saves and won 13 of 23 face-offs. Both teams cleared the ball well with UNC failing on only three of 32 clear attempts and Notre Dame on only two of 25.
Notre Dame jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead as Bart Wagner scored off an assist by Ben Hunt 1:45 into the game followed by a spectacular goal by Tar Heel goalkeeper Grant Zimmerman. Zimmerman cleared the ball on his own and then fired a shot by Notre Dame goalkeeper Joey Kemp from 10 yards out with 12:08 to play in the period. Zimmerman was injured on the play when he was checked while shooting and he had the leave the game for 3:19 while trainers attended to him on the sideline.
Notre Dame capitalized on the change as true freshman Chris Madalon had to enter the game without a warmup period and the Irish struck for three goals in a span of just 29 seconds. Michael Podgajny scored with 9:48 left in the first quarter, followed 16 seconds later on a goal by Brian Hubschmann and then another goal by Ryan Hoff at the 9:19 mark.
At that point Zimmerman returned to the game and the Tar Heels almost immediately responded with the tying goal as Gavin Petracca took a feed from Ben Hunt and scored to knot the game at 3-3 with 8:49 left in the quarter. The rest of the quarter belonged to Notre Dame as goals by Will Yeatman and Ryan Hoff put the Irish ahead 5-3. Although UNC outshot UND 14-11 in the first quarter, the Irish led 5-3 on the basis of seven saves from Joey Kemp while UNC's Zimmerman and Madalon combined for only one.
From then on the Heels' goalkeeping carried the day as Zimmerman made 10 saves and allowed only three goals in the final three quarters. Zimmerman held the Fighting Irish scoreless for a span of 26:27 from 1:01 left in the first quarter to 4:34 left in the third period.
The Heels began their comeback by outshooting the Irish 11-4 and outscoring them 4-0 in the second quarter. Nick Tintle started the seven-goal UNC scoring run with an unassisted goal with 9:22 left before intermission. Just 31 seconds later the Heels had the equalizer as Bobby McAuley drove right and scored on a jump shot past Kemp. It was the first of two straight goals on which Petracca recorded assists. Petracca fed Michael Burns with 6:53 left in the second quarter to put the Heels up for good in the game at 6-5. Tintle added his second goal of the period 21 seconds before halftime to put the Heels up 7-5 and Tintle went low to the left side of the goal to beat Kemp.
Carolina carried its momentum into the third quarter. Rob Driscoll drove hard on the right side of the box to score with 10:36 to play in the period on a hard shot from eight yards out. Then Burns popped open on the crease and took a pass from behind the goal by Petracca with 8:39 to go to make the score 9-5. After Notre Dame's Sean Dougherty went off for one minute for slashing, the Heels scored the only extra-man goal of the game for either team as Sean Delaney fed Bart Wagner for a 10-5 lead with 6:40 left in the third quarter.
The Heels' offense stalled at that point but the Tar Heel defense excelled late in the game despite a decided edge in time of possession for the Irish. Zimmerman made seven saves in the final two quarters and UNC forced four Notre Dame turnovers in the third quarter and another six in the fourth quarter. Carolina had trouble keeping control of the ball in the fourth quarter with more turnovers (seven) than shots (six).
But the Irish could not fully capitalize on UNC's turnover problems. Bill Liva scored for the Irish to make the score 10-6 at the end of the third quarter but that goal was matched by Gavin Petracca as he rolled the crease and tallied the 11th Tar Heel goal with 13:36 to play.
Notre Dame would score twice more with Peter Christman scoring into an open net after a failed clear with 11:11 to play and Ryan Cunn scoring off an assist by Alex Wharton with 9:05 to play.
At that point both defenses clamped down and neither team scored in the final nine minutes of the game.
The goal by Zimmerman was the first by a UNC goalkeeper since April 19, 1992 when Billy Daye scored against Villanova.
Carolina returns to action with two home games next week -- hosting Vermont Tuesday at 4 p.m. and playing No. 1-ranked an undefeated Duke next Saturday at 12 noon at Fetzer Field.

Here under you find the 1st video of "School T.V" (Comment is in Dutch, 2nd video English). You can see whats my profession is all about and how Neon is made. (It took me 6 years to learn & master the craft of bending neontubes NEON costs less power consumption compared to L.E.D. or other light sources. & lasts longer. (More than 30 years is no exeption) In The Netherlands we use Sodiumglass-tubes (of the 3rd Hydrolitic Class) & we coat the inside of these tubes AFTER bending it in shape.The glassdiametres are from 12/13 till 25 cm. (More diameters in tubing,more craftmensship is needed,to bend & shape.)

My Bio
His Dj name comes from his profession; Neon crafter and tubular glass blower (one of the 15 in The Netherlands) & Electric Signmaker. He's a Dj of the 1st-generation.
Dj Neonglass made his first steps in mixing on age 14 (1977),before that he was a "talking Dj" (compared with a "radio Dj", as many Dj's where in that days) He was "working" with some friends every friday evening on a mobile disco, called "Disco Skylab" in a youth centre called: "Openluchtschool (O.L.S)", in The Hague.
They also had several illegal F.M Radio stations called "Skylab Radio, Skyline Radio, Tempo Radio". Then he saw in a local disco called "De Marathon" the Dj mix two records together. Fortunately one of his friends knew more about mixing.He started mixing with 2 MARANTZ record players with pitchcontrol.
Inspired by his discovery,he began to create customised pause button mixes on his big reeel taperecorder (later cassette) as he realised that certain records could be made more suitable for the dance floor, if they wen given a slight twist of extension. At the age of 16 he was asked to play at several Clubs as a guest Dj. Mixing was in that time very special and also all Clubs had "talking Dj's" in that time.
One of his friends he "worked" in the Drive-inn Disco with is now known as Atlantic Ocean a.k.a Dj Lex van Coeverden (World Hit Single Waterfall & Waterfall 2009). http://youtu.be/VLui_8t2thc
In 1984 he stopped mixing, so he had time to found his own Neonsign- factory.
After 24 years not being mixing and Dj-ing, he took some Mixing lessons in youthcentre "BAZART" also located on the grounds of the former O.L.S, the place where it in 1977 all began. When he's started his Mixing lessons,he noticed that there was a lot of changed in the DJ equipment. He decided to quit mixing with vinyl and go for the new technological tools now like mixing with 2 CD players with pitchcontrol.
Nowerday's he's a Resident Dj @ several radio stations. All his Dj-Sets, are broadcasted for a growing network of radio stations in the U.S.A (L.A & N.Y), Europe & worldwide.

Beyond U Presents "From the Locker Room to the Board Room"
University of Minnesota student-athletes attended the first Beyond U event of the 2013-14 academic year on Monday, November 11th. Beyond U is a series of programs designed to prepare student-athletes, specifically upperclassmen, for life after college athletics.
Former student-athletes Mike Linnemann (Men's Track and Field) and Rachel McKessock (Women's Track and Cross Country) have been instrumental in the building of Beyond U, serving as key speakers for the original pilot program with the Rowing team in May 2013.
Nic Romero and Mike Becker of Mutual of Omaha presented to a group of 35 student-athletes, representing 12 sports, at the Gibson-Nagurski Football Complex on Monday evening. "From the Locker Room to the Board Room" focuses on the importance of time management, relatable skill development through intercollegiate athletics, and networking while preparing for post-college careers.
"Beyond U was very beneficial because it helped me prepare for informational interviews and answering questions that I had from previous experiences," said Christie Clarke of Women's Swimming and Diving.
One component of the workshop included a student-athlete activity in which they used transferrable skills to compose a 30-second self-commercial.
"The power of a story stuck with me," said Alex Cisneros of Men's Swimming and Diving. "They described the impression that can be left from a vivid story. You can leave someone with a painted picture and they are much more likely to remember you."
Furthermore, the student-athletes received tips on creating vivid storytelling through dynamic first impressions and responsible interviewing while elaborating on transferrable skills from their respective athletic careers.
Student-Athlete Development will be hosting three Beyond U workshops next spring.

The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.

1) We have a $100K CERP request pending for addition to our previous SNC contract to allow contractors to remove debris and open LOCs
2) We are formulating another ~$128K CERP request to obtain resources that we can make available to hard working Panjshiris so they can take recovery into their own hands (Gabion Baskets, Cement, Wheelbarrows, Lumber, Tarps, Tools, etc.). There is significant damage to much critical infrastructure (irrigation, homes, bridges, etc.) and we win huge IO leverage when we provide resources under our sweat equity program where they do the work.
3) We see a developing dicey issue in Rokha, sight of the most severe damage/death. The road/bridge/culvert system through that area was part of the $20M USAID road project. It appears the residents and the USAID Engineers had many discussions related to villager perceptions that the bridge/culvert system would be insufficient for their needs. USAID assures that the bridge/culverts that were washed away were technically sound. Flood was clearly a 100-year flood that no one could reasonably predict. Villagers now disagree that the road was competently built and are showing some frustration. DoS, USAID, and PRT/CC are discussing IO and engagement opportunities to communicate with Rokha residents. PRT is following strict security precautions when transiting or assessing Rokha in order to avoid confrontation due to misplaced frustrations and uncontrollable grief. PRT expects long term improvement in PRT/Rokha relations once grief subsides and reconstruction begins.
4) PRT/CC encouraged USAID Rep to investigate solatia payment options related to perception that faulty road/bridge/drainage engineering contributed to the flood destruction/death in Rokha. Despite the realistic belief that no reasonable solution could have withstood the 100-yr flash flooding that hit the area, it may be advisable to consider payments if it has a positive strategic impact for IRoA and coalition. Payments would be designed to symbolize sympathy with their losses, but not suggest liability for the destruction in the area.
5) PRT/CC stopped on far end of Rohka to meet with key elder (area hardest hit). Discussed response timelines to manage expectations. Provided HA. Elder later traveled to the Governor to tell him how generous the PRT was to the people in his area.
6) AMR/Helo Request: ANA sent limited overflight to bring some key leaders to the province. Coalition could add to IO success with visible overflight/assessment to determine impact of floods in unreachable areas. PRT/CC and Governor Bahlul require SA of AO to best direct/respond to the crisis. Flying Governor, PRT/CC, and MRRD director over the valley would provide for coordinated assessment/response. PRT/CC is not authorized to ride on ANA assets.
7) Gov Bahlul is traveling to Kabul on 30 June to attend USEMB event. This was debated at length, but it was agreed that he should go to lobby other IRoA officials to support relief efforts. He will return same day. Dep Gov Kabiri will lead relief response efforts. DoS rep will travel to Kabul for USEMB event. PRT/CC remains in the valley.
8) Gov Bahlul still plans to attend the 4 July event at BAF. Expect some lobbying for support for relief efforts and construction support. If previous overflight/AMR assessments support is provided, this will be a significant chip for AA6. It would also show token support that can have huge IO implications.

Clear WiMax Router Hitting Barren Shelves In April
4 Comments to Clear WiMax Router Hitting Barren Shelves In April
CLEAR kept charging me after I cancelled the service (no reception). Modem sat in a box why I racked up hundreds of dollars in fees. When realized what was happening, I called CLEAR, and they read me the fine print. Hundreds of dollars charged for ZERO kilobytes used. Ethical?
I told them I wanted to keep the modem, b/c I was moving and would re-start it up. They said fine, but the money was still theirs.
I will NEVER use this company again……EVER!
I have one of these routers. It works great! In Portland and Vancouver the speeds are sometimes twice the advertized speed. I can't wait for new hardware such as the Samsung Mondi that will work on this network. Kudos to Sprint and Clearwire!
Well, the Seattle story is either a lie or a jumbled amalgamation of stories, because Clear wiMAX is only in Portland so far.

Harvey Fierstein
On this date in 1952, actor, comedian, playwright and LGBT activist Harvey Forbes Fierstein was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. Fierstein debuted in the Andy Warhol play, "Pork," in 1971. He has since been in over 60 off-off-Broadway plays, including his own productions. One of his three-act plays, "The Torch Song Trilogy," in which he played a gay man, opened off-off-Broadway in 1980, transferred to Broadway, and won Fierstein two Tony Awards, an Obie Award, a Dramatist Guild Award, two Drama Desk Awards, and a nomination for the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. The hugely successful play was made into a movie in 1988, with Fierstein writing the screenplay and co-starring with Matthew Broderick and Anne Bancroft. He earned his third Tony for his book of the musical "La Cage aux Folles." He picked up a fourth Tony for his portrayal of Edna Turnblad in the Broadway version of "Hairspray" (2003). In addition to his theater work, Fierstein is a popular face (and voice) in films, including such hits as "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993), Woody Allen's "Bullets Over Broadway" (1994), "Independence Day" (1996), "Death to Smoochy" (2002) and "Duplex" (2003), which starred Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. His trademark voice has lent its popularity to television shows including "The Simpsons," "How I Met Your Mother" and "Family Guy," and animated movies such as Disney's "Mulan" (1998), "Kingdom Hearts II" (2005) and "Farce of the Penguins" (2006). Other television appearances include on the shows "Ellen" and "Common Ground," which he co-wrote, and an Emmy-nominated performance on "Cheers." He also earned an Emmy for narrating the documentary "The Times of Harvey Milk" (1984).
A winner of the GLAAD Award for Visibility in 1994, Fierstein is known as a leading gay rights activist. He was openly gay when it was still highly controversial to be so. He often plays gay characters, occasionally dresses in drag, writes articles and publicly champions LGBT rights. He has consistently made his views on religion known. In an interview about playing Tevye in the Broadway revival of "Fiddler on the Roof," when asked if he was generally religious, Fierstein said: "No, but I am Jewish. . . . This [performance] has really brought out the Jew. I mean, I don't believe in God, I don't believe in heaven or hell, but I pray three or four times a day" (New York Times, by Jesse McKinley, Jan. 2, 2005). Fierstein started a segment called "Outtakes" on the Generation Q television program "In the Life" (2004): "I don't believe in heaven. In fact, I don't believe in any sort of conscious afterlife. More to the point, I don't believe in God. Or Gods. Or Goddesses. . . . More wars have been fought in the name of religion than any other cause. More people have been persecuted, reputations ruined, and fortunes plundered and murders committed in the name of religion than any other enterprise. And more everyday bigotry and prejudice is founded on what religion a person follows than any other factor." He continued: "Forget believing in God. How about thinking for yourself on any subject! Bottom line—I don't care what you believe, or what church you attend, or how religion-oriented your private life is. Keep it out of my government. Keep it out of my laws. Keep it out of my bedroom. And keep it out of the war rooms at the Pentagon!"
"We are lucky enough to be living in a country that not only guarantees the freedom to practice religion as we see fit, but also freedom FROM religious zealots who would persecute and prosecute and even physically harm those of us who do not believe as they do. . . . If you refuse to salute the flag and say God in your pledge, you're actually judged un-American. But that's not the way America is supposed to be. That's the way Iran is. . . . Predicating patriotism on a citizen's belief in God is as anti-American as judging him on the color of his skin. It is wrong. It is useless. It is unconstitutional."
—Harvey Fierstein in the segment "Outtakes," from the program "In the Life," broadcast by Generation Q, Nov. 2004

Pine Haven students enjoy Radio Disney dance off
PEMBROKE - Students at Pine Haven Boys Center shared their moves with members of Radio Disney's Rockin' Road Crew at a dance off Friday as a reward for finishing in the top five of the "Get Active, Get Fit" statewide fitness competition.
The program is designed to motivate kids and families to develop fitness habits early on through engaging in fun activities.
"Overall, it's about getting kids exercising earlier, and hopefully making them healthier adults," said Christopher Dugan, director of corporate communications at Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, state sponsor of the program. "So they make better decisions, so there's a component of exercise, better eating, and of course dancing is a fun part of that. So what's cool about these parties is that incorporates all of that."
From October through November of 2012, students were asked to exercise for a certain amount of time every day, with the schools being graded by their participation levels.
The Pine Haven Center saw 100 percent participation. In addition to the dance off, the school won a donation of gym equipment.
All that work seemed to pay off Friday. The students shared the gym with the three Radio Disney Rockin' Road crew members in an hour-long dance off, sometimes competing for prizes like water bottles, sometimes building a dance collectively, with one student at a time offering their own move. The teachers were even asked to take part in the frolic, with the students serving as the final judge on their skills.
For the organizers, however, the dance off is not just a prize, but an extension of the entire project - making fitness fun.
"It's really a culmination of what they decided to do," said Dugan.
State and nationwide, Dugan saw the program as a success simply for the amount of participation it saw this year.
"While not every school won, the fact that all those schools did it and all those kids participated is really neat," he said. "People will tell you over and over again that if kids pick up these habits early on and get into exercises by making it fun, hopefully they be healthy teenagers and healthy adults."
More than 10,000 students from 39 New Hampshire elementary schools participated in the program.
Nationwide, about 384,000 children were involved in the initiative, including students from NH, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Virginia, and Wisconsin Other schools finishing in the top five this year included the Westmorland School, Sandown Central School, Grinnell Elementary School in Derry, and the Errol Consolidated Elementary School.
Pine Haven Boys Center is a private, non-profit and non-sectarian intensive residential facility, caring for boys with educational, behavioral or emotional problems.

It was simple and easy and fast, but I added crumbled bacon and deglazed the pan with afew talblespoons of vermouth before adding the cream mixture. Didn't have fettuccine and used angel hair pasta which was just as good.flag if inappropriate
Wanted to try something different - and here it was. I wasn't able to find fresh Dill, so I had to use dry. The smoked Salmon was quite salty and was the only drawback to the recipe. I will try it again, and use something other than smoked salmon. I don't believe this is good for 4 people either, as it would just be enough if all received a small portion. Better suited for 3, as long as nobody wanted seconds!flag if inappropriate
I thought this dish was very yummy. Definitely easy to make! The smoked salmon I used was overly salty, so I will simply use a different brand next time. My husband suggested using something other than egg noodles, as that seemed to make the dish heavier.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is great--easy and, if you use fat-free half-n-half--reasonably good for you. I would recommend that you let the whole thing "rest" for five-10 minutes. It tastes much better once the flavors meld.flag if inappropriate
Incredibly easy and quite tasty. I think this dish is really just 2 servings if you're using it as a main dish, maybe 3, but deffinitely not four. I enjoyed it very much.flag if inappropriate
My husband and I loved this. I did make a big adjustment. Since I wanted to avoid all the cream, I used 1 cup of Land 'O Lakes Fat Free Half and Half. Because if this, I added the pasta and cooked for a few extra minutes before adding the asparagus and smoked salmon. This ended up being a tasty and low fat meal.flag if inappropriate
This has become a quick and easy favorite for entertaining. I've substituted egg noodles and it works well.flag if inappropriate
Easy and very good. Suggest that one adds a little cooking liquid or some dry vermouth or white wine.flag if inappropriate
Not bad. The horseradish added a nice zing. A bit dry though, I'd reserve a half cup of pasta cooking water to add if needed.flag if inappropriate

Written Answers - Psychological Service.
Tuesday, 14 June 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
832. Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the degree to which psychological assessment is readily available at all primary or post-primary schools throughout the country; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20103/05]
Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin): All schools have access to psychological assessments, either directly through the National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, for those schools currently served by NEPS, or through the scheme for commissioning psychological assessments, SCPA, for those that do not currently have NEPS psychologists assigned to them.
All schools that do not have NEPS psychologists assigned to them may avail of this scheme, whereby they can commission assessments from a member of the panel of private psychologists approved by NEPS, and NEPS will pay the fees directly to the psychologists concerned. Details of this scheme, including the conditions that apply to it, are available on my Department's website.
The complement of psychologists in NEPS has increased almost three-fold from 43 psychologists on establishment to 128 psychologists at present. NEPS also provides assistance to all schools that suffer from critical incidents, regardless of whether or not they have a NEPS psychologist assigned to them. NEPS also processes applications for reasonable accommodations in certificate examinations. On behalf of my Department, the Public Appointments Service has recently initiated a new recruitment competition for NEPS. Any increase in the overall numbers of psychologists in NEPS must take account of Government policy on public sector numbers.

Maine regulators have approved the creation of Maine's first virtual charter school. But the ability of Maine Connections Academy to open in September will depend on whether the school can meet a long list of conditions. And as Jay Field reports, the Legislature is also considering a bill that would place a moratorium on all virtual charters until 2015.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage, who backs virtual charters, is all but certain to veto a temporary ban if it reaches his desk, and it's unclear whether supporters could generate enough support to override him. State regulators, meantime, have struggled with their own longstanding concerns with online learning, twice denying charter school applications backed by two national, for-profit operators.
But on Monday, one of those proposals finally won approval. "Look across the whole country and there's success, there's failure," said Jana LaPoint, who chairs of the Maine Charter School Commission, speaking with reporters after the unanimous vote to approve Maine Connections Academy. "We're trying to find that ground that says that we have something that's good. And that we can oversee it enough."
For now, at least, LaPoint and her fellow commissioners are opting for some pretty heavy oversight to ensure success. To open in September, Maine Connections will have to agree to 13 requirements as part of its contract with the state. Initial enrollment will be limited to 270 students in grades 7-9, and and won't be allowed to rise until the Charter Commission sees proof that the kids are doing well academically.
Carol Weston, who heads the Maine chapter of Americans for Prosperity, is a board member at Maine Connections. "A virtual school in Maine is brand new," she said. "I think that those requirements are there to make sure that the kids in Maine succeed."
Other contract requirements cover ongoing concerns that the school be able to operate independently from its Baltimore-based, for-profit parent company. Connections Education, LLC, a division of Pearson Education, is one of the biggest player in the online learning space.
To enter into negotiations on a charter contract, Maine Connections must agree to hire a third party to evaluate its ongoing relationship with its parent. The Maine school's local board must also have the authority to sever that relationship if it isn't serving students well.
Weston says that won't be a problem. "We will hold them accountable, just as the commission is holding us," she said.
The Maine Charter School Commission had less confidence that the board of the other virtual applicant would be as engaged or autonomous. Commissioner Heidi Sampson spoke moments before the Maine Virtual Academy again failed to get enough votes to move forward.
Sampson says it seemed like most of the work on the school's application had been left to one member of the board. "And it just raises the question: Is this board, essentially - if they're low involvement, as it appears to me - would they only be rubber stampers for the ESP?"
Maine Virtual Academy's parent, or ESP, is K12, Learning Inc. The company, whose schools across the country have produced mixed results, has been investigated in the state of Florida and accused of misrepresenting student turnover numbers by former employees.
Connie Brown is Executive Director of the Maine School Management Association. Brown says the Charter Commission's conditional endorsement of one virtual school and rejection of another only highlights her group's worries about virtual education.
"I remain concerned about the amount of money that will be taken out of Maine schools for students persuing a virtual education," Brown says. "It is further splintering resources that are already scarce."
Brown says it would be better for the state to experiment with virutal learning gradually, through the Maine Digital Learning Exchange that's being proposed as part of placing a temporary ban on online charters. The Maine Senate could take that bill up as early as this week.

Today I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas to make for your friends and family, as well as gifts for quilters that would be welcome at your guild's holiday party swap--or under your own tree.
Spring is such a busy time of year: graduations, wedding showers, barbecues, the end of the school year, and so on. It seems I always need an idea for a quick gift for a teacher, hostess, or guest of honor.
That's when my bin of fabric scraps and list of fabric art projects come to the rescue.
The new school year starts in a few days, and as soon as I get the kids' supplies in order, I will start thinking about teacher gifts.
I have made bed and lap quilts, holiday table runners, and other large-scale quilted gifts and décor. But more often I make small quilted gifts that come together quickly with the sewing machine and my abundance of fabric scraps.
I'm past the stage where I am making baby quilts for my children. This picture shows the first baby quilt I ever made-for my baby Sam (now 13 years old). I love that this quilt is worn and stained. I love that it is well-used and cherished, and that it carries my special message to my baby boy written on the label.
There was a time when the only sewing patterns that crossed the threshold of my studio were the vintage tissue paper kind I gathered to use in my mixed-media artwork or the books of Victorian sewing patterns and needlework I collected for inspiration and amusement.
Baby quilting is a wonderful pastime. Baby quilts make great gifts to welcome a little one, and the smaller size makes them a perfect project for the beginning quilter. In our latest free downloadable eBook, Designs for Handmade Baby Quilts: 4 Free Baby Quilt Patterns from Quilting Arts, we offer you contemporary baby quilt patterns and baby quilt ideas that perfect for handmade baby gifts.
I'm just going to come right out and say it: these stitched holiday cards are so easy to make, it's ridiculous. Plus, by giving, you also get: UFOs (UnFinished Objects) are used to make the design. How great is that?I've whipped up many of these cards since first creating them for the 2010-11 issue of Quilting Arts Gifts. I like using a tree motif, but any basic shape would work.

The well known RPMFusion repository contains a lot of the useful software which Red Hat doesn't ship by default (for licensing, patent or legal reasons). It is the amalgamation of several other repositories, including Dribble, Freshrpms, and Livna.
One helpful package that RPMFusion does not package however, is libdvdcss, the free software library which enables Linux to play encrypted DVDs.
Most users keep Livna around for this single purpose, but it is often offline (especially recently). So, here's another solution – use ATrpms – another third party repository that includes lots of handy software.
The problem is, ATrpms has lots of other software which you might not want to update and which could conflict with the packages from RPMFusion. The solution? Tell yum to only include libdvdcss* packages from that repository. Easy.
To do this, simply add a new repo file (/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo) for Yum to configure it.
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
Now, just run the following to update the repo and install libdvdcss (you may wish to remove the old package first, if you have it).
sudo yum check-update
sudo yum install libdvdcss
That's about it!

After a suspend and resume with the Nouveau driver, the slider works properly, but only goes to half brightness at the maximum setting. It was possible to set the brightness manually via:
echo -n 60 > /proc/acpi/video/NVID/LCD/brightness
That was not suitable. So I switched to the NVIDIA driver, but the laptop brightness was immutable until I discovered a post with the solution. Simply adding the following to the Device section in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf lets KDE control the brightness correctly, and perfectly. Great!
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
I also added the DPI option above to get 96×96 as some text was too large after switching to the NVIDIA driver. Fedora still suspends and resumes and everything is just perfect!
Is as easy as installing the 32bit version of Red Hat's Linux Standard Base (LSB) package:
yum install redhat-lsb.i686
To get a basic, command line only, base packages install of Fedora, simply add "text" to the installer's kernel line at boot.
This will then install around 200 base packages and give a small, clean, lean system. From here you can install whatever package or group you like to built it up to something you want.
See here for more options for Anaconda, the Fedora installer.
Update: Alternatively, select "
Customize now" during the standard installation process and un-tick everything (yes, ALL package groups even the Base group!). This will then also install the same 200 base packages for a minimal system, but has the added benefit of providing the graphical installer. Use the netinstaller to reduce your initial download.
So now that you know how to get Compiz working properly, what do you do if it still refuses to enable itself via the "Desktop Effects" program?
Justin had this exact problem on his machine. It appears that the compiz-gtk script wouldn't start and my theory was that it's unable to replace Metacity (for some reason).
So I fixed this by editing his gconf file directly
sed -i 's/metacity/compiz-gtk/' \
This means that Metacity is never loaded to begin with, instead calling compiz-gtk to do its magic.
This is exactly what is set after successfully enabling Compiz via the "Desktop Effects" program, so we're just bypassing whatever problem was stopping it from being enabled (like I said, I think it was unable to replace Metacity).
If you have the same problem, try this fix. If it can't start Compiz it will safely revert to Metacity.
Fedora uses the older method of enabling Compiz, via the gconf plugin.
The "Desktop Effects" program under System -> Preferences runs the
/usr/bin/compiz-gtk script (part of the
compiz-gnome package) to enable Compiz, or fall back to Metacity (GNOME's window manager).
gconf backend
compiz-gtk script executes the command:
compiz --ignore-desktop-hints glib gconf gnomecompat
On systems here (with NVIDIA cards at least), the gconf backend package was not installed. This means that even though NVIDIA and 3D is all working, Compiz won't start. So, installing the required gconf backend package should make it all work.
su -c 'yum -y install compizconfig-backend-gconf'
Now try again.
ccp backend
Upstream however, Compiz has moved away from gconf and is using libcompizconfig (ccp) and the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) to handle settings.
Installing the
ccsm package under Fedora and changing Compiz settings using the graphical manager (CompizConfig Settings Manager) results in none of those taking effect.
This is because the
compiz-gtk script is not loading the
ccp module. So the workaround is to install
ccsm and then modify the script to replace
gconf with
su -c "sed -i 's/gconf/ccp/' /usr/bin/compiz-gtk"
Now try again.
Keep in mind that updated versions of the
compiz-gnome package may overwrite this file, so you'll need to edit it again in future if this happens.
Update: Actually, you might be able to install 64bit Linux on a Mac with 32bit EFI by including the "fakebios" GRUB2 option. I've updated the grub-efi tarball to include this and it works on my Mac Pro. Thanks to Martijn Broeders for this.
To install 64bit Linux onto a Mac using only EFI (and not MBR emulation) then your Mac must have a 64bit EFI. Run the following under OS X to discover whether you have 64bit or only 32bit:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
This should return something like:
| | "firmware-abi" = <"EFI32">
If you see "EFI32" like I do, then it means your machine can't execute 64bit EFI loaders, so you're stuck with 32bit, d'oh!. If you see "EFI64" then you should be able to install native 64bit Linux using EFI only, yay!
I discovered this while trying to load 64bit only my Mac Pro at work as an alternative to running Linux with multiple drives and MBR (which doesn't really work)
This is why the 64bit Fedora efidisk.img never worked on my Mac, but the 32bit one does.
With X.Org 7.5, multitouch support under Linux has finally arrived and appears to be working very well. There's a new video showing it off, along with instructions on how to get it going (most of it works out of the box on Fedora 12).
In short, I've written a bash script (available from github) for configuring and removing instances of clamav-server on Fedora. It lets you create and remove individual instances with a specific user and port (if you specify them) and will install the required packages if not already present on the system.
In long, we use Clam AntiVirus as our antivirus protection for Digital Preservation Recorder and talk to it over the default port, 3310.
Installing the
clamav-server package under Fedora however, doesn't actually set up an instance. In fact, it doesn't copy any system configuration files into place at all. This means that the system is left without any working ClamAV server out of the box.
Under Fedora, ClamAV server is configured on a per user basis. This is actually quite important (unless you run as root) because the daemon needs at minimum read access (and we've found also write) on the files/directory being passed for scanning.
The instructions on how to configure it are located under /usr/share/doc/clamav-server-[version]/ but I have taken these instructions and written a bash script to configure all of this for you.
The script is available from github. It can create or remove an individual instance of clamav-server using a specific username and port (if you want to specify them, else it defaults to clamav on port 3310). The script will also install any required packages, if you don't already have them on the system.
Hopefully this is useful to someone else out there and not just us If you find any bugs feel free to let me know.
