Summary: Review Request: openmpi - a new MPI implementation https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173719 ------- Additional Comments From ed eh3 com 2006-02-16 12:29 EST ------- Hi Jason and Orion, Thank you for the responses -- I'm thrilled that other folks are interested in MPI on Fedora! When installing multiple MPI implementations, its best if you avoid putting headers and libs into, for instance, /usr/include and /usr/lib. If you instead put them into, for example, /usr/include/openmpi or /usr/lib/lam then compilers will have to use some sort of environment variables or other build-time information to find them. And thats desirable when installing multiple implementations because it means that, for instance, a particular software build won't accidentally include a lam-provided /usr/include/mpif.h when what you really want is the version at /usr/include/mpich-2/mpif.h. Basically, if we do our best to avoid "polluting" the standard locations then users are much less likely to have problems with side-by-side installs. And yes, I realize that these problems can be fixed by improving the build systems for all the software out there that uses MPI. Good build systems can make it easy to ensure that you get the headers, libs, etc. that you want. But file layout can also make it easier when dealing with the vast number of thrown-together-with-duct-tape build systems that seem to be the norm in the real world. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The O.G. Flea
Here's the thing with the OG Flea...Ocean Grove is a teeny tiny town...and this flea market draws thousands...soooo PARKING is usually a nightmare. But this time me and Aar were cruising close to the Flea so that we could meet up with my sister Missy, who rode her bike there, so that we could load her finds into our car. Well, we just so happened to luck into a parking spot within a block of the flea market. Our best parking spot in more than a dozen years...and probably the best weather yet.
And if you scroll to the bottom of this post you can see my shot of "something green"...the Carousel Building.
I love the weathered patina. And I'm loving the photo challenge. So far it's gotten me out to see things in my area...and to see them differently.

aCape Town - There was no forced entry into acting Judge Patrick Maqubela's apartment, the Western Cape High Court heard on Wednesday.
Colonel Andries Pretorius, the commander of the Criminal Records Centre, said he arrived at the judge's apartment three days after his body was found.
Pretorius found the front door locked. Before another officer unlocked it, Pretorius looked for any signs of forced entry, and found none.
He said because the door was wooden, it would have been easy to notice any damage.
Pretorius was testifying in the murder trial of the judge's wife, Thandi Maqubela, and her co-accused, businessman Vela Mabena.
Both have pleaded not guilty before Johannesburg Judge John Murphy to charges of murder, fraud and forgery. The latter two charges relate to a forged will.
The judge's body was found on June 7, 2009.
Pretorius described the various phases of the forensic investigation.
The apartment was used by Maqubela's family and this had limited the colonel's investigation, the court heard.
Pretorius found cupboards were closed in the room where the body was found, and there were a few items of clothing in the en-suite bathroom.
Prosecutors Bonnie Currie-Gamwo and Pedro van Wyk allege the judge was suffocated with plastic wrap, placed over his face. His wife claims he died of natural causes.
The trial continues on Thursday. - Sapa

A friend recenly emailed an interesting Pagan take on the loss of Christian youth as documented by recent religion surveys, and what some Christian authors are suggesting as the solution.
My own response to Jason would be yes and no.
On the one hand, yes, I agree that the moral failures of the church, particularly over pedophilia, are sadly a significant factor in Christianity's western decline. It's difficult for the Christian movement to have any ethical credibility when significant authorities figures in the major churches have been found to have been complicit in the protection of pedophiles. It illicits disgust, and as any marriage counselor would tell us, that's a recipe for divorce.
But the other hand, no, I disagree that the shift from entertainment back to essentials is misguided. Any movement that forgets it's raison d'être risks destruction by centrifugal forces. That being said, I suspect Jason's understanding of the essentials and mine may differ in important respects. I see Christ-like love for the alienated as an essential practice and I doubt Jason would object to that if he realised that is what, at least some of us, mean by a return to the essentials.
Beyond all this though, IMO some of the exodus from Christianity has nothing to do with moral failure or misguided method, but everything to do with citizens exercising freedom. Some people reject Christianity, not because they've misunderstood it or been innoculated by lesser versions but precisely because they have understood it, authentically versions of it, and realised it's not the path for them. Where that is the case, should we not respect, even welcome, their decision to act honestly? Could it even be disrespectful at that point to assume, "Oh, they just haven't understood it!"
In responding to Christianity's western decline I think we have to recognize the limitations of apologetics. Apologetics is a discipline aimed at demolishing barriers to faith and building bridges to understanding. But as the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Apologetics, even the best apologetics, can't compel acceptance, it can only extend an invitation. I therefore think we need to reassess our missional goals in the wake of Christendom, and pay more attention to the faithfulness of our witness and the graciousness of our actions than the strength of our numbers.

Rugby players take family violence message to Rarotonga
Rugby players take family violence message to Rarotonga
New Zealand rugby players and coaches have been in Rarotonga to promote the "Break the Silence End the Violence" message.
The group of 10 players and coaches agreed to support NZAid's Pacific Prevention of Domestic Violence Programme (PPDVP) - a programme run by NZ Police in five Pacific nations. They returned from the six day trip last week.
Head of the PPDVP in New Zealand, Cam Ronald, said the players were outstanding ambassadors for their sport, and the NZ Police.
"The people of the Pacific, especially the children, are rugby fanatics and for them to see these sportsmen promoting a non-violence message alongside both New Zealand and Cook Islands' Police has a huge impact."
The PPDVP began working with NZ rugby four years ago. Since then more than 40 players have visited countries in the Pacific as part of the programme.

Scripps Health and Hospice of the North Coast may join forces out of a shared desire for greater operating efficiency.
Scripps Hospice, a new entity created this year to acquire the assets of the bankrupt San Diego Hospice, and the Carlsbad-based provider said they have entered a 90-day negotiating period to explore a merger.
Scripps currently has a patient census of about 200, while Hospice of the North Coast cares for between 50 and 60 patients per day.
Chris Van Gorder, Scripps' chief executive, said Friday that the potential deal is necessary for the Scripps Hospice to start making money.
"Our goal was ultimately to get it up in the area of around 300 patients (per day). That's where we need to be to operate in the black," Van Gorder said.
Established in 1980, Hospice of the North Coast operates throughout coastal North County and offers a full range of services to terminally ill patients.
"We have a long history with the Scripps system, and feel we have common values and a shared commitment to providing the highest quality in hospice services," said Nerice Kaufman, executive director of Hospice of the North Coast.
Van Gorder said both sides have signed a confidentiality agreement and will examine each other's books. He said no decision has been made on what a merged enterprise would look like.
"Most likely, they will become part of the Scripps system and operate under the Scripps name," Van Gorder said.
The executive was quick to note that Scripps is not rescuing North Coast.
"This is not an organization that's in financial trouble, so there is no act of desperation here," Van Gorder said.
He added that, if the deal is approved, Scripps would avoid layoffs.
Jan Jones, chief executive of The Elizabeth Hospice in Escondido, said she was not surprised by the merger talk. She said changing government reimbursement and other trends in the industry are creating consolidation pressure.
"I think it's going to be a good match for both of them," Jones said.


text: In the course of our discussions with the FDA, the agency has expressed concern regarding the OS trend and has said that it will review the findings at the time of the NDA filing, as well as during the review of the NDA. They're conducting additional analyses to be included in the NDA submission that demonstrate that the OS data from TIVO-1 are consistent with improved clinical outcomes in RCC patients receiving more than one line of therapy, Analyses that we believe, will directly address this issue. We are continuing to work towards submitting the NDA by the end of the third quarter. However, there is a chance that the additional OS analyses may cause the submission to slip into the fourth quarter.We remain confident in our data supporting tivozanib and first-line RCC and believe that tivozanib represents an important new treatment option for patients with kidney cancer. To further establish the potential for tivozanib, we announced the TAURUS study designed to demonstrate patient preference of tivozanib compared to sunitinib as first-line therapy. We also expect to initiate a breast cancer study with tivozanib later this year. Let me now pass the call back to Tuan. Tuan Ha-Ngoc Thanks for that update Bill. Turning to ficlatuzumab. In May, we reported preliminary PFS findings from our exploratory Phase II study, evaluating ficlatuzumab in combination with gefitinib versus gefitinib monotherapy in previously untreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The trial did not meet its end point in the overall population. The data is still maturing and more detailed findings on this study has been accepted for our presentation at ESMO in September. We expect to provide additional information regarding our plans in support of further development of ficlatuzumab at that time. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

" Genre: Fiction / Author: Emma Burstall / Paperback / 288 Pages / Book is published 2008-08-21 by Preface Publishing "
* Prices may differ from that shown
A swanky new gym has opened in leafy south-west London. Four women bond over push ups and Pilates and become firm friends.
Percy likes sorting out other people's problems, but her own life is a shambles, with a terrible secret addiction. Can she kick it and win back the love of her husband? Patrice, wealthy but damaged, wants another baby, but husband Jonty isn't interested in sex. Is it her imagination, or is he getting too close to the husband of one of her new friends? Carmen is living dangerously, determined to get pregnant by her cold, treacherous boyfriend. She doesn't see what is under her nose until it's nearly too late. Suzanne adores her sexy second husband, but is she neglecting him for her job? And has she realised what is happening to her teenage daughter?
New best friends. Their friendship is about to be tested to the limit.
Gym and Slimline is Emma Burstall's debut novel and tells the story of four women who met at a gym, Gym & Slimeline, and became firm friends. There's Percy who loves helping other people with their problems but has a huge secret of her own, Suzanne who loves her second husband but is she neglecting him for her job?, Patrice who wants a second baby only her husband, Jonty, isn't interested and then there's Carmen who is desperate for a baby with or without her boyfriend Simon.
I loved Gym & Slimline and found it a very interesting debut. Not only is it well written but the characters, Percy, Patrice, Suzanne and Carmen, are all different from each other and so completely different to usual chick-lit characters.
I enjoyed reading about all four friends because they all had problems and worries and none of them had an easy ride. Generally female characters in the novels I read don't have the same problems these friends faced. It's usually an easy ride but not for Percy, Patrice, Suzanna and Carmen. Far from it.
Percy's secret addicition was great to read about and very well written by Emma. You could really feel for Percy and I was willing her on through-out. Her addiction scenes were very fast paced and I found myself reading as quick as I could to see what happened!
Suzanne and Patrice with their husband worries: Is Suzanne neglecting Justin for her work. I liked how Suzanne was written, being a workaholic, and could undestand her difficulties with her children because of the fact she was a workaholic. I could also sympathise with Patrice who wanted a second baby so Seamus wouldn't be an only child. Trouble is Jonty her husband wasn't interested at all.
I liked how Carmen was so independent and how she coped with realising she wanted a baby. It was interesting to learn about her past and how past things had affected her. I found her boyfriend, Simon, unlikeable though.
Not only did they face the problems above but they also has relationship difficulties. Percy's marriage seemed to be falling apart, Suzanne and Patrice's husbands had shocking secrets and Simon, Carmen's boyfriend, seemed unwilling to commit. We also learnt of the relations between their families.
Throughout the whole novel we had sessions at the gym, where the friends had first met, and I found that it worked to have those scenes in the book - after all it was where the friends met and so it was nice to read the scenes with them all working out in the gym or having coffee afterwards.
Gym and Slimline was a brilliant novel. A really great debut novel. It was so much darker than regular chick lit and dealt with a lot of different issues: secret addictions, infidelity, wanting a child... the list is endless.
Emma Burstall has put herself on my must-read authors list and I can't wait for her second novel.

Danielle Ballard is now officially LSU's ultimate woman of steal.
Ballard made her first swipe Sunday with 13:07 left in the first half of the Lady Tigers' NCAA tournament first-round game with Green Bay, then added another before halftime to give her 95 for the season.
Her effort broke the record she shared with former LSU All-American Marie Ferdinand, who had 93 in 1999-2000.
A freshman from Memphis, Tenn., Ballard has had at least one steal in 31 of LSU's 32 games this season.
Same time, every year?
This is the second straight year for LSU to host the early rounds of the tournament and the fifth since the NCAA went to predetermined sites in 2002. If LSU senior associate athletic director Miriam Segar has her way, it certainly won't be the last.
The NCAA this year rescinded its rule limiting teams to hosting two years out of three. LSU is bidding for a third straight year of starting the tournament at home in 2014.
"Obviously any time you can host, it's an advantage for our team," said Segar, LSU's senior women's administrator and a former Lady Tiger. "So as long as we feel like we're in good shape to be in the tournament, we're looking at every year."
Though no one expects schools to be given unlimited hosting runs, the rule was changed primarily because there were few sites out west that were bidding. That's why Gonzaga is a host school for the third straight time this year.
And there is a chance the NCAA will revert to giving the home sites to the top 16 seeds, as was the case in the first 20 years of the tournament.
There was a chance earlier this season that LSU might be hosting without the Lady Tigers being able to play. They were 13-10 in early February before coach Nikki Caldwell threatened the players with having to sweep the court and serve water to the other teams if they didn't make it.
"I knew we had our work cut out for us at that point." Segar said. "But I knew how well our team was capable of playing. So I really wasn't sweating it."
No love for Emmert
During Penn State's 85-55 win over Cal Poly, NCAA President and former LSU Chancellor Mark Emmert appeared in a public-service announcement on the Pete Maravich Assembly Center scoreboard.
When they saw his image, members of the Penn State band began booing lustily. Emmert handed down unprecedented sanctions against Penn State athletics last year in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal.
Fashion statements
Green Bay band members wore cheesehead hats Sunday, the kind made famous on fall Sundays by fans of Green Bay's slightly more famous sports team — the Packers.
Meanwhile, LSU players stepped out in gold or purple shoes, while Caldwell debuted leopard print high heels.
LSU made 9 of 14 3-pointers Sunday, besting its previous season high of seven made 3-pointers. ... LSU won its 40th NCAA game in 22 appearances. The Lady Tigers are 40-21 overall, 3-0 against Green Bay and 8-0 in first-round games at home. ... LSU's Theresa Plaisance had 16 points, her 31st straight in double figures.
Advocate sportswriters Scott Rabalais, Ted Lewis and Matthew Harris contributed to this report.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
First you have to find out from him why he interacts this way and if it bothers you will he stop. He may either be a flirt or not aware that he interacts this way. Some people are touchy feely and are not aware that they come across this way. See if he can stop the physical interaction and the changes in his communication if it bothers you. This may be fueling your insecurities. The only way to find out if he desires other women is to ask. Ask and then find out if he will support your need to be cautious. If he is a good boyfriend he will have no problem avoiding feeding into your anxiety. You will have to accept that he is a very social person because that is who he is. You have work to do as well. You have to work on your self esteem so that you are not analyzing his interactions with other people. He can help but you have to work on what is making you insecure. You can see a counselor if you feel that this is interfering in your relationships. Medication is not work on your self esteem, but it is addressing the depression. See a professional about the depression because that impacts how you see situations such as these
If this has been helpful press accept
Yes, I see your point. I think I should ask him openly and honestly about his interactions. I am also not a party kid (and he is), and have been going to several clubs with him, but when he tries to "help" his friends pick up women, it makes me even more insecure and I start feeling that maybe he also wants to talk to other women. What should I ask him without hurting his feelings? How can I make my case without sounding irrational/needy?
Regarding counseling: I have been thinking about it, but I guess it is time I see someone and follow through the whole counseling treatment.

In the Toronto Star, Kevin Donovan reports a night in the life of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto, shortly after an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel: Ford drives drunk, says fantastically racist things, buys drugs, beats up a friend of his, and then comes home and presents his friends to his wife, offering to let them have sex with her, saying that she lets him "f--k girls in front of her all the time... It's okay, my kids are not home." Parts of this are transcribed from recordings, others appear to be taken from witnesses. Read the rest
The recording of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack (again) isn't the only recording to emerge of the mayor; he was also recorded making drunken, racist, homophobic, misogynist remarks at a bar where he was also abusive to the bartender and said rather revolting things about his wife.
Of note in the recording was the mayor's vulgar remarks about Karen Stintz, one of his electoral rivals. Ford previously called another female political rival a liar after she accused him of drunkenly grabbing her ass and propositioning her at a Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee.
In other news, the mayor also allegedly participated in an all-night, coke-fuelled drunken sex party at a nightclub where he vomited in the toilets in between verbally jousting with Justin Bieber and entertaining a group of "party girls" with his entourage. Read the rest
Rob Ford has announced a "break" from his re-election campaign for mayor of Toronto, after a video of him smoking crack last weekend surfaced, being offered for sale by a drug-dealer for seven figures:

In one of the clips shown to The Globe and Mail on Wednesday, the mayor rapidly shifts his weight back and forth on the spot, talking into his cellphone and his right arm swinging at his side. When the camera pans around the room, a man that looks like Alessandro "Sandro" Lisi, the mayor's former driver and an accused drug-dealing extortionist, can be seen in the background. Mr. Ford's sister, Kathy, who has admitted in media interviews to being a drug addict, is sitting in front of her brother. In the last of three clips, Mr. Ford is holding the pipe and speaking to his sister.
If Rob Ford's mayoralty had been a scripted reality show, it would have strained credulity, as this trenchant Marcus Gee column reminds us. Gee rounds up some of Ford's greatest hits -- including a few I'd missed, like Ford's vote against naming a street after Nelson Mandela; his failed bid to distribute 10,000 Easter eggs at a parade where he wasn't welcome, his appointment of disgraced, drug abusing athlete Ben Johnson to his campaign team, and his profane rant against a security guard who denied him entry to a VIP lounge at a hockey game.

When Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was caught lying about smoking crack (and after months of smearing people who accused him of doing so as liars), he busted out the most weaselly, stupid excuse anyone had ever heard. To make it clear how unsuitable this level of discourse is in office, Central Fiction's produced this video in which a child deploys the Rob Ford defense about a cracked window.

If you've shaken your head in wonder that Canadians -- gentle, sensible Canadians -- had elected a drug-addicted, violent, lying buffoon to run its largest city, this excellent account of the rise of the Canadian neoliberal right by historian Paul Cohen is required reading. Cohen draws on disparate threads from Preston Manning to Mike Harris and connects them to Stephen Harper, Rob Ford, and the rise of a nasty, ugly Made-in-Canada version of Thatcherism, Reaganism, and modern neoliberalism.

Rethink (an ad agency that does viral media) has teamed up with No Ford Nation to putup joke election signs in Toronto for an Anyone-But-Rob-Ford campaign.

A new video has surfaced of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford swearing, stumbling and cursing in front of City Hall after having his picture taken with a young boy whose mother identified as a fan of the mayor. The mayor, who had promised that he would stop drinking, smoking crack, taking marijuana, hanging out with murderers and notorious gangsters, and suppressing evidence in criminal investigations, would not comment on the video. His brother, councillor Doug Ford, told reporters that his brother kept his promises, but when confronted with the video, he clarified that the mayor only keeps political promises, and not promises about his obvious, glaring, horrific substance abuse problems.

Toronto Mayor Rob "Laughable Bumblefuck" Ford flew to Los Angeles for an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show. What followed was more than a little awkward. Kimmel is a great pains to hide his dislike of Ford, but he's not entirely successful. The hardest part comes at the end, when Kimmel confronts Ford with the fact that he is an out-of-control alcoholic, whose blackouts, binges, abuse and dangerous behavior are putting him, the city, and the people he loves at risk. Ford's total denial is genuinely pitiable. Joey Davilla has a very thorough writeup of the appearance, with links to the other parts of the video. Read the rest
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford -- who has steadfastly refused to attend the city's massive, economically vital and glorious Pride parade -- has pitched a tantrum over the decision to fly a rainbow flag from the auxiliary flagpole at City Hall. The flag was raised in solidarity with LGBT activists and athletes in a project led by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam at the request of Pride House TO. Ford says he tried to get the flag removed, and has pasted Canadian flags over his office window and the doors of city hall.
Wong-Tam characterises this as evidence of Ford's long-suspected homophobia, which strikes me as extremely plausible. The article in the Globe and Mail points out that Ford recently told reporters that he would not attend Pride festivities even if he was not away with his family, this being Ford's usual excuse for missing it.
Wong-Tam hypothesizes that Ford has "let it all hang loose" and other councilors agree. I wonder if he thinks a dog-whistle for the city's bigots will win him votes come election day. Read the rest
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford declared yesterday to be "Bob Marley Day." It's hard to read the tea-leaves on this one: is it a wink-wink reach-out to the stoner vote from a mayor who admitted to smoking crack and who has been accused by his staff in sworn affidavits of both smoking weed at work and offering weed as a ransom in exchange for the return of his lost mobile phone? Is it a charm offensive aimed at Toronto's large Jamaican/West Indian population, many of whom were offended by the mayor's drunken impression of an angry, ranting patois-speaker? Is it a totally non-ironic celebration of a great musician and great political thinker (albeit one whose politics ran totally contrary to the mayor's own)? Read the rest

More news of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's disastrous car-wreck of a life. After swearing off drugs and alcohol (and insisting that he didn't have a problem with either), he's not only been getting so loaded that he finds himself transformed into the lead in a terrible one-man amateur production of "The Harder They Come"; he also was allegedly so drunk after a family funeral in Vancouver that a cop gave him a ticket for public drunkenness and jaywalking. You'd think a man devoted to ending the "war on cars" would be more deferential to their place in the road.
Ford claims he wasn't ticketed for public intoxication, and that all he'd drunk was a "diet Coke." Read the rest

Volunteers celebrated at Highwic
Volunteers celebrated at Highwic
Highwic, the Heritage New Zealand property in Newmarket, is celebrating National Volunteer Week [June 16-21].
"Without our team of dedicated volunteers we wouldn't be able to achieve half of what we're able to do at Highwic," says Visitor Services Coordinator, Christiane Pracht.
"National Volunteer Week is the perfect opportunity for us to say thanks."
A team of 30 volunteers helps keep Highwic ticking – whether it's maintaining the beautiful gardens that have been faithfully recreated, providing specialist cleaning skills for collection items, or sharing the story of the 152-year-old house to bring alive the stories of people who once lived here.
Volunteers help us do all of this according to Christiane.
"Every one of our volunteers is an essential part of our operation. We're really proud that they have chosen Highwic as a place to volunteer, and are awed by the amazing range of skills that they bring," she says.
Volunteers enable staff to do more, freeing up other resources to go further so more people can appreciate our heritage. They're a vital addition to our team that enables our whole operation to really shine.
One group of volunteers has signed up for an extended hands-on training on how to care for the many antiques and precious Collection items that furnish Highwic. They are being trained by internationally experienced conservator Madelaine Abey-Koch – who is also a Highwic volunteer.
Typically modest, the volunteers didn't want to be singled out as they see themselves as part of a wider team – but were happy to talk about their work at Highwic.
According to Jane, volunteering at Highwic was a great way to get "behind the ropes".
"I have the opportunity of handling and working on many different items from glassware to furniture, and am learning to appreciate even the things that I haven't found aesthetically pleasing."
One of the surprising things that Jane has learned is that the best cleaning agent for sprucing up carved wood on furniture is saliva applied on a cotton wool swab.
"I now feel I am connected to some of the furniture in the house in a DNA kind of way!" she says.
Heather, another member of the conservation team, says working in such a historic home makes even housework enjoyable. Shelia agrees: "It's quite an experience."
For Vanessa, one of the most interesting projects was cleaning the fireplaces and mantels: "It took a long time, my knees would ache and I would get rather mucky, but the outcome was rewarding – and it made me think about how this would have been a frequent chore in the past for this house and others," she says.
Other volunteers, like Bev, Jill and Jenny act as the face of Highwic. They love meeting and greeting Highwic's visitors and sharing with them the story of the house and the Buckland family. It gives them a chance to meet and interact with people from "all walks of life" as Jenny puts it – and it's a chance "to give back to the community".
Bev agrees: "It's always rewarding when visitors are impressed and say that Highwic is better than other places they have visited."
Jill adds: "I enjoy coming to work in such a gracious heritage building with such wonderful gardens and grounds."
Volunteers aren't paid – so the fact that so many people with different skills choose to spend some of their spare time at Highwic is a huge endorsement according to Christiane, and one that is very much appreciated.
"Each and every one of our volunteers has chosen Highwic as a place to volunteer because they share the same passion about the house, the grounds and the collection it holds as our paid staff do. It is a privilege to work with such a dedicated team of volunteers and it's one of the highlights of my job. Everyone here loves the place and enjoys looking after it and sharing the many stories surrounding the house and the objects."
The 'rocking horse' story for example.
"One elderly visitor had a specific interest in the boys' dormitory – a communal bedroom for the Buckland boys upstairs - and was particularly interested in the rocking horse on display," says Christiane.
"When one of the volunteers asked her about it she said she was married to a descendent of Alfred Buckland who had grown up in the house and who had recently passed away. When he was a boy he had spent time on a family farm where all sorts of farming activities had taken place, which obviously captured his interest – so much so that when he got home he 'docked' the tail and mane of the rocking horse, which is why the horse is missing them today!"
Wendy, now retired, used to work at Highwic looking after the education programmes. She couldn't quite let go, however, and has joined the team of gardening volunteers who help look after the beautiful heritage gardens and grounds. She just "wanted to keep in touch and continue to support a very worthwhile cause."
Or, as Catherine puts it when asked what she likes most about volunteering at Highwic: "The people I am working with, the environment I am working in, the objects that I am working with and the results that we achieve."
Highwic is currently looking for volunteer costumed interpreters to join the team providing information on the running of a Victorian household, including baking and cooking on the coal range, being familiar with ironing techniques and knowing how kitchen work was done in the 1800s.
"This is a hands-on role that will suit anyone interested in sharing their enthusiasm for the past, who has an interest in domestic science and who likes sharing their knowledge with interesting people from around the world," says Christiane.
"Training is provided and job satisfaction is guaranteed!" she says.
People interested in learning more about the role can contact Christiane Pracht at email@example.com

College Student Receives $40,000 Settlement After Her Guinea Pig Is Banned From Campus
Kendra Velzen, a 28-year-old student at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, suffers from depression and uses a pacemaker. Her pet guinea pig, Blanca, helps her cope with the stress of day-to-day life. Or, as Velzen's lawyer put it: "The presence of an emotional support animal provides Ms. Velzen with continued emotional support and attachment (thereby reducing symptoms of depression), physiological benefits (such as decreased heart rate), and psychological benefits (such as increased Oxytocin levels, which directly impact the sense of life satisfaction)." For these reasons, the university agreed to make an exception to their "no pets" rule and allowed Velzen to keep Blanca in her dorm room. This could have been the end of a touching story about the enduring bond between a woman and her guinea pig, but unfortunately, things got complicated….
The university required Velzen to keep the guinea pig away from common areas and dining halls, but she refused, claiming that Blanca's emotional support was akin to the support provided by other service animals, like seeing-eye dogs, which GVSU allows on campus. Velzen sued the school, and last week was awarded a $40,000 settlement–along with the right to take Blanca wherever she pleases.
"Should Kendra Velzen ever reapply for on-campus housing and make an accommodation request to live with a guinea pig or animal of similar size and nature, Grand Valley will grant said request," the school said in a statement.

Loan amount increases for volunteer fire, ambulance companies signed into law
Gov. Tom Corbett recently signed a "sorely needed" bill into law to update the amounts available for loans taken out by volunteer fire and ambulance companies under the Volunteer Loan Assistance Program.
Maximum dollar amounts are doubled for loans for many expenditures ranging from vehicles and protective equipment to establishing and modernizing facilities, according to a news release from state Rep. Matt Baker, R-Bradford and Tioga counties.
"This update to the law was sorely needed in order to help these essential volunteer organizations remain operational," Baker said in the statement. "Our volunteer fire and EMS organizations accomplish and perform a great deal with few financial resources, and too many are struggling on a daily basis financially."
The legislation, now Act 129 of 2013, also lets merged or consolidated companies hold a combined total of up to 10 loans for a period of 10 years, the release stated.

Luxury sport utility owners wanting to downsize and reduce their gasoline bills will find the new Audi Q5 appealing.
Built on a modified platform of the Audi A4 compact sedan, the crossover Q5 SUV is the smaller, lighter weight sibling of the Audi Q7 SUV. It's $6,300 less in starting retail price than the Q7, has a smaller but still powerful V-6 under the hood and earned top, five-out-of-five-stars safety scores in government frontal and side crash tests.
The Q5's government fuel economy rating of 18 miles per gallon in city driving and 23 mpg on the highway means it has the best mileage rating of any nonhybrid, gasoline, luxury SUV sold in the United States by a European car company.
Best of all, the Q5 is a trendy vehicle that boasts Audi's handsome styling inside and out, confident road manners and a luxury image.
Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, for the five-seat Q5 is $38,025. This includes a 270-horsepower, 3.2-liter V-6, six-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel drive as standard equipment.
Smaller SUVs are a busy segment among European carmakers, with the Mercedes-Benz GLK debuting as a 2010 model and the Audi Q5 arriving in the States just this past spring.
The test car had good proportions outside, excellent fit and finish and a distinctive black-colored grille that set it apart from other SUVs that wear shiny, silver-colored grilles. The tester also came with optional 19-inch tires and wheels that fit well with the body.
Though the Q5 positions its passengers well above the pavement for good views out, it doesn't look like some bulked-up vehicle set atop a raised platform. Rather, it has a holistic appeal in a package that's more than 3 inches narrower and 18 inches shorter than a Q7.
No one would likely guess it can tow 4,400 pounds, but it can.
There's only one engine so far: Audi's 3.2-liter, double-overhead-cam V-6 with direct injection of the gasoline into the cylinders. Working with a six-speed Tiptronic transmission, the engine provides smooth, satisfying response in city traffic and on the highway.
Indeed, with a weight of 3,850 pounds, the Q5 feels gutsy, yet well-controlled, in acceleration. Torque peaks at 243 foot-pounds at 3,000 rpm.
There's no need for a driver to manually turn on the all-wheel drive. It is Audi's well-known quattro system, and is on at all times.
In normal driving, 60 percent of the power goes to the rear wheels to provide a rear-wheel drive feel, but when road conditions get slick, up to 65 percent of the power can go to the front wheels.
The all-wheel drive here, given that it's electronically controlled and doesn't have a lot of heavy mechanicals, doesn't impinge much on fuel economy. I managed just under the government's 20 mpg rating for combined city/highway travel in the test vehicle, and that was without really trying to maximize fuel mileage.
The tester had Audi's optional driver select package, which includes dynamic steering and adaptive suspension.
The latter worked to keep the body controlled in aggressive driving, while the former kept steering precise and changed the steering effort needed to move the wheel at different speeds.
There was a bit of road noise from the tires, but it wasn't obtrusive.
I enjoyed the well-appointed interior that includes standard 12-way power front seats and three-zone climate control.
The black leather on the seats in the tester, the no-nonsense gauges and most controls evoked a serious environment not unlike that of a leather-appointed executive study. A friend who rode with me said he felt the car was bulletproof because of the quality-sounding thud as the doors closed, the quiet interior and the sense of solidity of the vehicle.
The optional and huge panorama roof added a light and airy feel, and the optional Bang & Olufsen audio system swelled the interior with crystal clear tunes.
Audi offers many features for the Q5, including a side blind spot alert system that flashes small lights on the outside mirrors to tell a driver when another car is alongside, in the blind spots.
There also are a power tailgate, navigation system and stainless steel plates at the entrance to the cargo area and at the door sills -- all optional.
The only problem is the price can rise quickly. There's an $11,000 option package for this vehicle, and while it encompasses a lot of equipment, it's a high price for an option package nonetheless.
The Q5 has the newest generation of Audi's Multi Media Interface with its round dial in the center console to adjust nav system, audio, ventilation and other settings. It's more intuitive than BMW's i-Drive system, but it still takes some practice.
THE VEHICLE: 2009 Audi Q5 3.2 quattro, an all-wheel-drive, five-passenger, compact, crossover utility vehicle
ENGINE: 3.2-liter, double-overhead -cam V-6 with direct injection, producing 270 horsepower
TRANSMISSION: Tiptronic six-speed automatic
EPA MILEAGE: 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway
TOP SPEED: 130 mph
LENGTH: 182.2 inches
WHEELBASE: 110.5 inches
CURB WEIGHT: 3,850 pounds
BUILT IN: Germany
OPTIONS: Prestige package (panorama sunroof, Xenon head lamps, power tailgate, heated front seats, driver-side memory seat settings, Bang $11,000; driver select package (includes adaptive suspension and dynamic steering), $2,950; side blind spot alert, $500

Pope Francis has greeted hundreds of people in wheelchairs one-by-one — part of a special gathering in which rows of seats were removed from a Vatican auditorium to make room for the disabled visitors.
The pontiff lamented that society tends to "hide physical fragility" and reject the disabled. He encouraged those with physical disabilities to banish any feelings of shame, and become "protagonists" in society as well as the Catholic church.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII may not be at E3 due to it missing from Square Enix' lineup listing.
Not surprised. With Final Fantasy XIV being shown (again) and possible more info on other FF games on Vita and 3DS, they won't want too much attention being taken away from Versus XIII.
I always thought the first time Versus would be shown again public-ally will be a surprise.
Wait are you serious? How long are you going to take to make this game Square Enix?
I think it's head for a cancellation at this point.
It's time to really blow people away has passed, unless they move onto wiiu or next gen consoles.
There are no definite facts in the article, they are seemingly once again going off the fabricated list from ign.
If this does get approved for some strange reason it should be a rumor, not news! Unless there is a press release from Square-enix this should not be news!! We will be seeing Versus XIII this year at E3, I am willing to bet on it.

GANG crime officers in Perth have seized 15 weapons, including a pistol with silencer and a submachine gun, more than two kilograms of methylamphetamine and $340,000 in cash from a man with suspected Mongols bikie links.
They raided a home in suburban Perth last week, accompanied by the dog squad, and discovered a fortified front door protecting several purpose-built concealed storage areas.
The entrance to the basement of the house had been disguised within the floor of the living room, with most of the contraband discovered underneath.
That included eight semi-automatic pistols with one fitted with a silencer, seven rifles including a Thompson submachine gun and an SKS military assault rifle, gun parts and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Police also seized 2.1kg of methylamphetamine and 460g of MDMA ecstasy.
The raid, which lasted almost 24-hours due to the size of the seizures, led to a 37-year-old Belmont man being charged with possession of drugs with intent to sell or supply, and will appear in court on Tuesday.
Police believe he is linked with the Mongols bikie gang.
WA's proceeds of crime squad is also investigating the man's interest in five properties dotted around the state.

In 1880, vineyard-owner Paolo Pellegrino founded Cantine Pellegrino and, in few years, succeeded in grew this family company into one of the most important wineries in Marsala; a position it has kept until today.
Grown in the Trapani area of Marsala and Mazara del Vallo, the grapes are vinified in the traditional method and aged for at least two years in oak casks.
An intense amber colour, this Marsala has intense, persistent, pleasant oak scents and on the palate it is rounded, soft and richly sweet.

The secret life of Darwin
All Australian capital cities get a bad wrap from time to time.
Adelaide is flat, boring and full of churches. Sydney is pretentious and tacky. Melbourne is full of cultural snobs.
What about Darwin? Sweaty weather and a lot of drinking?
A new series of books aims to illuminate our capital cities, giving an insider's view.
The latest is focused on Darwin, the smallest and most northerly of Australia's capital cities.
It's a place of contradictions and defies stereotyping.

Thank you so much for mentioning Adelaide (capital city of the first state in the world to give women the vote). Most unexpected.

After hearing the winners of last nights ESPY's, it's safe to say that the name could have easily been modified to the ESPY's featuring the Dallas Mavericks. The reigning NBA Champions took in quite a haul at sports premier awards show by reigning in four of the most prized awards.
They took in Best Team while Dirk Nowitzki took in Best Male Athlete and Best NBA Player. Rick Carlisle completed the haul with the Best Coach/Manager.
"I'm so humbled and honored by this," Nowitzki said. "It's been an unreal year for all of us on the Mavericks."
The event, hosted by Saturday Night live comedian Seth Myer, started out with a bang as Myer started the night by digging at the NFL and the NBA lockouts. He then moved on to some barbs about the Miami Heat before focusing on the ridiculous outfit worn by San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson. Wilson wore a full-body spandex tuxedo, complete with black high-tops and a cane.
"Justin Bieber could have set himself on fire and not have had a crazier outfit than Brian Wilson," Meyers told reporters.
The NBA managed to wrangle another big award as Los Angeles Clippers standout Blake Griffin won the ESPY for Breakthrough Athlete. The NBA Rookie of the Year won the award for capturing the attention of NBA fans everywhere with his electric dunks and his seasoned play. For his breakout season, Griffin averaged 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds a game and became the first rookie to appear in an NBA All-Star Game since Yao Ming in 2003.

A LONG-distance lorry driver came home from a trip to find his Darwen home had been "trashed".
Blackburn magistrates heard the Nelson woman responsible claimed he was a friend of her mother's, and she had gone to invite him to a Hallowe'en party.
She was traced by police as a result of blood she left at the scene.
Faye Danielle Wharton, 25, of Milton Street, pleaded guilty to burglary at a house, in Lightbown Street, with intent to cause unlawful damage.
She was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Pat Bramley, prosecuting, said Wharton was the worse for drink when she broke into the house.
"She caused considerable damage, both breaking in, and inside the house," said Miss Bramley.
"She cut herself and was traced through DNA.
"The house owner came back and found his house had been trashed," she added.
Kerry Grieve, defending, said Wharton had never been before the courts before, and was "scared and frightened" to be appearing.

O'Gara to put the boot in
Ronan O'Gara is eager to learn from Neil Jenkins to ensure the Lions' kicking game is spot-on in South Africa.
Last Updated: 09/06/09 8:56am
Ronan O'Gara is eager to learn from Neil Jenkins to ensure the British and Irish Lions' kicking game is spot-on for the upcoming Tests with South Africa.
Irishman O'Gara is battling it out with Welshmen Stephen Jones and James Hook for the fly-half spot in the Lions side, but all three are working together to improve their kicking game.
O'Gara admits that playing at altitude was a problem as the Lions sneaked past a Royal XV at Rustenburg in their tour opener, but says that there was an improvement after a few days of adjustment.
"I suppose the big thing that struck me was the fact that we were like robots or imbeciles on the pitch in the first game," O'Gara said.
"I slightly underestimated the affects of altitude - the mind was telling me one thing but the body wouldn't get into a position to do it.
"But after eight days we showed the benefits of it and feel a lot fresher. Obviously we're back at sea level for this one so we just have to adjust the kicking, you can see the ball doesn't hang quite as much and swirl as much and that's something you have to take into account."
O'Gara and Jones will battle it out to start for the Lions, with Hook as a back-up, and their kicking performance could well be the deciding factor.
Jenkins is on his way to join up with the squad on Thursday to lend his kicking expertise, and despite O'Gara having vast experience himself, he is always eager to learn.
"The kicking game has gone well but there's so much more to a kicking game than a goal-kicking game," O'Gara said during the build-up to the fourth game of the tour against the Sharks on Wednesday.
"It will be interesting in that we haven't done much in terms of an attacking kicking game or much in a strategic kicking game. But that's an area I'm looking forward to exploring. If you can get the right kind of kick it's very, very hard for you to defend."
Key role
Jenkins played a key role in the Lions' victorious tour of South Africa 12 years ago with his kicking accuracy, and either O'Gara or Jones will be needed to do the same this time around.
But despite a fierce battle for the number ten shirt, both men share a respectful relationship.
"I started off the same time as Stephen started off," O'Gara said. "I have huge respect for Stephen. The greatest compliment I can give him is that he's still there at the top. A lot of the others have fallen off or lost form or crumbled under the pressure but he's still there and that's testament to him.
"I have a great relationship with Stephen not just because we're from the same position. I'm competitive, he's competitive. But you can get beyond that and you can have a good working relationship."

Flower Power
To get this soft upsweep, Wang advises misting hair with a few spritzes of water until damp, then working in a styling mousse and blow-drying on a low setting, scrunching in waves with fingers as you go. Next, roll and pin hair into a loose bun and accent with fresh plumeria blossoms. Key to success: using a curling iron after blow-drying to ensure extra wave in the front sections of hair.
Beauty note: We're stoked on Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam.

text: Afternoon all I am eagerly waiting to fit my ipod adapter to my head unit and i have removed the symphony head unit before, but this time it just wont come out. I have 1 set of 'decent' keys and another set of the Halfords/Autoleads ones. The proper set has 'clicked' in place and all is fine, BUT the top two simply wont engage and allow me to release the head unit, it pulls out about 1 or 2 mm, but thats it, nothing more. Now by the sound of things the spring clips have become bent, what, if anything, can i do to remove it? If this is something that would be better answered by PM, please do. Help please!!!! Thanks Guy
