UN has allegations of 14 other gas attacks in Syria by both regime and rebels
U.N. inspectors, who Monday confirmed the use of chemical weapons against a rebel-held area in the Damascus suburbs, were in Syria by coincidence, intending to investigate other gas attacks where the national government claims the rebels are responsible.
Led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, the inspection team said in the report that it has every intention of traveling at a later point to Khan al Asal, which is near Aleppo, Syria's biggest city, and two other locations, where one side or both are alleged to have used the long-proscribed chemical weapons.
In fact there are credible allegations that chemical weapons were used at more than a dozen locations in Syria since December 2012, according to a U.N. human rights watchdog body.
The U.N. Commission of Inquiry, which is investigating human rights abuses and war crimes in Syria, is now looking into 14 possible attacks involving chemical weapons, its head, Paolo Sergio Pinheiro of Brazil, told reporters Monday in Geneva. "These are not just bald allegations" but "credible claims" by human rights groups, the commission's own research, videos or interviews with refugees, an aide who was not authorized to speak to the press and talked on condition of anonymity, told McClatchy.
Unlike the chemical weapons inspection team, the human rights watchdog body has yet to receive permission to enter Syria.
No doubt the most contentious case on the list is Khan al Asal, where a chemical weapon was detonated on March 19 that left 14 dead, according to the resistance, or 26, according to the Syrian government and Russia, its principal arms supplier.
After conducting what it said was an independent investigation under strict international protocols, Russia delivered a 100-page report to the U.N. Security Council in July.
The gas was delivered by a shell that "was not regular Syrian army ammunition, but was an artisan-type, similar to unguided rocket projectiles produced in the north of Syria" by a gang the Russian report called "Bashir an Nasr." The Russian report also asserted that according to gas and oil samples obtained at the site, the shell contained sarin gas "not synthesized in an industrial environment."
The Syrian resistance tells a very different story.
The incident occurred on the morning of March 19 near a military medical installation in government-held territory, according to Abd al Tawwa Shahrour, who at the time of the attack was the head of forensic medicine in the Aleppo public health service.
At a news conference organized in Istanbul last week by the Syrian National Coalition, an umbrella group, he told reporters that witnesses spoke of a government warplane flying overhead at the time and of hearing an explosion, apparently after a rocket was fired from the plane.
He and other forensic experts signed a letter that said 14 corpses were brought to the university hospital that day – seven women, six men and one child – all showing signs of asphyxiation due to breathing a poisonous substance.
The doctors there performed autopsies and sent the report to the criminal security branch of the police. Shahrour said several soldiers also came to hospital, but they were examined and quickly released.
Shahrour, who defected to the resistance in June, gave reporters copies of handwritten lists of those injured and dead, a letter by the three top forensic officers in Aleppo, and statements by witnesses, whose names were deleted for their own protection. The material, in Arabic, was translated by McClatchy.
Four of the five anonymous witnesses said they saw a warplane circling overhead before the explosion, and that after the weapon was detonated, people collapsed on the street.
"I saw a warplane above the city and after a few moments I heard the sound of an explosion," one witness was quoted as saying. "Then I heard the sound of shouting, so I went to see what was happening, and saw several people lying on the ground with foam coming out of their mouths."
Russia has not published its report, nor has it provided a copy to the U.N. Commission of Inquiry, according to Karen Abuzayd, a member of the commission. "They haven't given it to us. We've asked the Russians," she said, adding that France, Britain and the United States also had failed to provide any classified reports on the incident.
"All these governments say they have all this information. We say, 'Share it,'" she told McClatchy.

Epic 300 U Upright Exercise Bike Review
Epic make quality exercise bikes and the 300 U Upright is one of them. It has many built in features that you only find in commercial bikes and a few home ones. They're included here at a great price. The benefit of exercise bikes is clear with no impact on the joints especially the lower back which is good for a range of people. Cycling is a great exercise that anyone can do, young or old, big or small.
This bike has magnetic resistance which means it's smooth to ride, you don't feel any sudden jerkiness as you change the resistance. It's a smooth silent transition that gets harder or easier as you ride. Any level can be chosen with one touch so you don't have to go through all the levels to reach the one you want. The low levels are nice and easy while the upper levels give a good up hill climb so the bike can cater to all fitness levels.
Most users will simply get on the bike and go and adjust the levels to suit. Should you want some variation there are 8 in built workout programs. These change the resistance as you go to a predetermined route. This is great if you want to test your fitness level over time. This is because after a few weeks of cycling you should find certain programs get easier which means you're getting fitter and healthier.
Built into the handle bars are heart rate sensors which are useful to see how your body is coping. There are 2 further workout programs which use this heart rate reading. These programs adjust the resistance to keep your heart rate workout out at peak efficiency. This is great of you want your workouts to have the most benefit to you and your body in the least amount of time.
What you may appreciate the most are the little details. For example the workout fan gives a cool breeze as you exercise. The seat is specially designed to be softer and keep you comfortable as you ride. There's a pacing coach that displays your workout pace to give you something to aim for. As you can see the Epic 300 U exercise bike really is feature packed and very well designed for in home fitness.

Supra has created two shoes with new styles designed by Prodigy of Mobb Deep. "I don't want to look like everybody else," Prodigy said. "I want people to look at me and wonder what I got on, follow my trend. I like to bring something new to the table and Supra goes right along with my whole style."
The Backwood is a work boot/athletic-shoe hybrid constructed atop a unique sole that has a lightweight and comfortable SUPRAFOAM midsole with a rugged, rubber lug outsole. Prodigy designed the upper with grey suede camouflage and black ballistic nylon.
The Bandit is the result of Prodigy's take on professional skater, Tom Penny's signature shoe: a boot inspired mid top with a canvas camouflage and black ballistic nylon upper built on a white, lightweight cup sole.
You can purchase the two styles right now directly from Supra.

The family-run company was established in Warsaw in 1985. Since then, the small business has changed into a major manufacturer
with its own tool room, warehouse and production facility.
Currently, the number of customers in Poland and the world exceeds 2,500. With every year the number of injection moulders
increases, hence the production capacity, and employment and machines in the production department of injection moulds are
also increasing.
Our own technical resources and the design department not only allow for the continuous expansion of the offer of enclosures
in the catalogue, but also the development of the product on special order. After familiarizing themselves with the customer
requirements specification, specialists draw up a project, a 3D product model, and then an injection mould for production.
The buyer also has the possibility of choosing the material and colour of the future product. Devices such as Mitsubishi
MV2400s wire cutting machine, AVIA 30N FNX milling machine, Seron 1310 Expert milling plotter, CNC DMG Mori ecoMill 1100 V
milling machines, two HAAS VF 1BHE and HAAS MiniMill machining centres, and two Accutex AM 32NZ and Accutex HD75 electro-erosion
machines provide a high-quality performance.
Each enclosure, either catalogue or made to order, can have any one of the most popular utility openings. The milling service
is a fixed part of the offer and is performed at an on-site plant. Additionally, printings on enclosures are made to order.
Plant production is in line with the ROHS EU Directive.
Production facilities currently include 15 injection moulders with a capacity of around 22,000 enclosures per day. Modern
injection moulders, such as Arburg 320 Golden Edition, with an energy-saving package, or the SMIPACK semi-automatic enclosure
welder can both handle even the largest of orders.
The wide range of catalogue products is normally made of ABS material for the professional line or PS material for the economic
line. Enclosures are most common in black, light grey and white. The offer includes such types of enclosures as two-part, side
panelled, modular for DIN rail and others with a battery compartment, lid and coloured translucent, as well as enclosures for
power supplies, alarm panels or remote controls. A substantial part of these products has obtained IP52, IP53 or IP54 certifications,
the hermetic enclosures have IP65 and IK09 certifications and the cast seal category has IP67.
In 2016, the quality of the Kradex company was confirmed when it was certified to ISO 9001 thanks to the introduction of all the
necessary management systems.
On the plant premises, there are storage facilities with a total area of over 1500 m2, which ensure the maintenance of high stock
levels. As a result, most orders for catalogue enclosures are processed within 24 hours and improved logistics, high service
quality and fast shipping guarantee timely deliveries.
Its respected position within the market is thanks to the professionalism, commitment and work of the entire team throughout its
existence, and the Kradex enclosures are available to many Polish and foreign distributors.

Indians, A's game postponed due to rain
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Scott Kazmir will have to wait at least one more day to make his debut for the Oakland Athletics and pitch against his former team.
It's not exactly the kind of doubleheader he had planned.
The game between the A's and Cleveland Indians was postponed because of rain Tuesday night. It was the first rainout in Oakland since May 5, 1998.
"I think Kaz brought all the rain with him. You can blame it on him," said right-hander Corey Kluber, the Indians' scheduled starter.
The game will be made up in a day-night doubleheader Wednesday. The first game is scheduled to start at 12:35 p.m. PDT and the second game at 6 p.m. PDT.
Kazmir and Kluber will start the opener. Zach McAllister will take the mound for the Indians in the second game, while A's manager Bob Melvin said his starter is "to be announced."
Jesse Chavez had been scheduled to start for the A's Wednesday, but Melvin said he will likely push him back until Thursday – and move the rest of his rotation back one day. Teams are allowed to add a 26th man to the 25-man roster for day-night doubleheaders, so Oakland could call-up a pitcher from Triple-A Sacramento to make the start.
Cleveland beat the A's 2-0 in Monday night's season opener, which was played between rain storms that have soaked the San Francisco Bay Area this week. The Indians have Thursday off before hosting Minnesota in its home opener Friday in Cleveland, and the A's open a four-game series against Seattle on Thursday in Oakland.
The forecast for Wednesday was for a high of 61 degrees and a 10 percent chance of rain.
"I kind of like day games," Kazmir said. "Just throughout my career, I don't know, I just like it – get up in the morning and go right to it."
The 19th rainout in Oakland history, including the postseason, covered the Coliseum with so much water so early that officials postponed the game about 90 minutes before the scheduled first pitch.
A couple dozen grounds crew workers carried large brooms to sweep water off the tarp all afternoon. Some Indians players briefly came out to right field to go through some warm-ups during a brief break in the rain – then quickly scrambled back to the clubhouse when another band of rain began falling.
With no fans inside the spacious Coliseum, Kazmir played catch for about 15 minutes in a covered section of the upper-deck concourse near the concessions after officials postponed the game.
"I was ready to pitch today. You can't let your guard down. I was ready to go." Kazmir said. "What can you do? Be ready to go early, that's all you can do."
Kazmir has waited all winter to make his A's debut. He signed a two-year, $22 million contract with Oakland as a free agent after spending last year with Cleveland.
He went 10-9 for the Indians last season on a one-year, $1 million contract. Kazmir struck out 162 in 158 innings and had a 4.04 ERA over 29 starts, rediscovering his groove and the zip on his fastball.
Indians manager Terry Francona saw Kazmir's renaissance firsthand. While Kazmir knows the tendencies of Cleveland's hitters, Francona said the Indians also know what Kazmir wants to do as well.
"I don't think anybody really has the advantage," Francona said. "The pitcher holds the ball, so the first advantage always goes to him. But what we do with it is up to us. He's good. We think he's pretty good. But our job is to beat him now."
NOTES: Francona said he moved switch-hitting SS Asdrubal Cabrera into the leadoff spot Tuesday because he wanted to keep everybody in their normal spot in the order while Michael Bourn is out with a strained left hamstring. Lefty Nyjer Morgan started Monday's opener, but with the left-handed Kazmir on the mound, Francona opted to go with Cabrera. … Melvin said A's starter Sonny Gray's right ankle is fine after a comebacker from Cabrera hit off the pitcher's right ankle Monday night. … A's OF Craig Gentry is not with the team because his wife is having an induced labor soon. He will be held out of rehabilitation work on his strained back for a few days.

Portugal gained a measure of revenge for their World Cup exit at the hands of Spain by inflicting a humiliating 4-0 defeat on their Iberian neighbours in Lisbon last night. Goals from Jorge Carlos Martins, the Spain defender Sergio Ramos, who put into his own net, Hélder Postiga and Hugo Almeida condemned the world champions to their biggest defeat since 1963, when they lost 6-2 to Scotland.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice in Poland's 3-1 win over Ivory Coast. Lewandowski's first came in the 19th minute but Gervinho equalised just before the interval. Ludovic Obraniak's free-kick restored Poland's lead with Lewandowski sealing the win 10 minutes from time.
The former Italy coach Marcello Lippi, strongly tipped to take charge of Ukraine for Euro 2012, watched the tournament's co-hosts draw 2-2 with Switzerland in Geneva. Alexander Frei twice put the Swiss ahead only for Ukraine to level through Oleksandr Aliyev and Yvgenii Konoplianka.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the only goal as Holland defeated Turkey 1-0 in Amsterdam. Huntelaar struck after 52 minutes when he found the net from the edge of the area.
Sweden and Germany ground out a scoreless draw in Gothenburg. Star names were missing from both sides, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic absent for the hosts while Germany were missing Mesut Ozil, Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski.
Georgios Fotakis enjoyed a dream debut as he led Greece to a 2-1 win over Austria. The PAOK midfielder set up Greece's opener for Georgios Samaras after 48 minutes and, after Christian Fuchs had levelled for Austria, popped up with his first international goal nine minutes from time to seal victory.
Denmark were left to rue Michael Krohn-Dehli's penalty miss as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to the Czech Republic.
South Africa were beaten 1-0 at home by the USA, Georgia ran out 2-1 winners away to Slovenia and Estonia and Liechtenstein played out a 1-1 draw.
In all-African friendly encounters, Senegal were 2-1 winners over Gabon, Mali beat DR Congo 3-1, Mozambique went down to a 3-1 loss to Zimbabwe and Burkina Faso posted a 2-1 victory over Guinea.

My husband can really amaze me sometimes. I have a picture of a blenheim on my calendar that has the most beautiful splayed out silky ears. John saw the picture and said he wants one of those!!! :shock: We seriously talked about how we would just add another crate and that my car has three seat belts! We agreed we'll wait about a year to make sure Jake and Shelby are past all of their health crisis. Right now my checkbook can't handle anything. But, this means it's not toally out of the picture!!

EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oilers found their resolve in the third period on Sunday.
Jordan Eberle had a pair of goals as the Oilers snapped a four-game losing skid by holding on for a 5-3 upset win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
After staking themselves to a 3-1 lead after the first period, the Oilers started to fall apart in the second, allowing the Lightning to tie the game 3-3.
"We were turning pucks over in our own end, it was the same old story with this team," Eberle said. "But as soon as they tied it, we found a way to get back to playing the way that got us the lead in the first place. That's what won us the game."
Taylor Hall, Luke Gazdic and Boyd Gordon also scored for the Oilers (14-26-5), who have won just three of their last 13 games. Edmonton, which has the second-worst record in the NHL, avoided its fourth five-game losing streak of the season.
"There were certainly some shifts in the second period where we didn't play well, but for the most part our effort was good tonight," Hall said. "Our execution was good. There have been a lot of times this season where we have gone into a third period tied or in a close game and we just haven't really played the way we should. Tonight was a different story. It was nice to see, especially against a team that is as good and as high in the standings as Tampa."
It was the Oilers' first win against a team above the playoff cutline in a calendar month.
"We need to spin this into a positive," Gordon said. "Hopefully we can get things turned around here and start playing some winning hockey."
Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Valtteri Flippula replied for the Lightning (25-13-4), who saw a five-game winning streak on the road come to and end.
"I thought we owned that second period and we had a bad break for us on the fourth goal and then a good play by them on the fifth one," Hedman said. "That's not the way we wanted to come out of this. We were carrying the momentum going into the third. It's obviously frustrating that we didn't play better in the third."
Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop left the game with an undisclosed injury in the first half, something head coach Jon Cooper did little to explain after the game.
"I have no idea," said Cooper when asked of Bishop's status. "I don't ask, so I can look you in the eye and say I don't know, so I don't know.
"We don't know, it's hard to speculate. I don't know what the injury is, but I don't think it's going to be major serious. I hope not anyway. But if it is, then (Anders Lindback) is a proven goaltender in the league and he'll be fine, lets make that determination when we find out what's wrong with him. I think it's way too early to speculate on what's going on."
Tampa Bay started the scoring with a power-play goal less than three minutes into the game as Matthew Carle made a cross-ice pass to Kucherov at the left face-off dot. Kucherov beat Oilers starter Ilya Bryzgalov with a quick shot glove-side.
Edmonton responded a minute-and-a-half later, however, as a stick got caught in the skates of Martin St. Louis in front of the Tampa net before Eberle could fish it out and lift his 13th of the season past Bishop.
Bishop left the game after the play with what originally looked like an equipment problem. Lindback came in as his replacement, just as Alex Killorn took a double minor for high-sticking.
Edmonton went up 2-1 on their second shot of the game, just past the six minute mark as an Eberle shot pinballed in front and was inadvertently deflected past Lindback by defender Sami Salo on a power play. It was Eberle's second goal in less than two minutes after only scoring one in his previous 11 games.
The Oilers took a two-goal lead with five minutes left in the first period as Gazdic tipped the puck past Lindback off a point shot from Justin Schultz.
The Lightning started to rally in the second period and were rewarded for it just under nine minutes in as a stolen puck at the Oilers blue-line eventually led to a long screened-shot goal by Hedman.
Tampa Bay tied it 3-3 with 5:35 remaining in the second period as Filppula hooked off the half boards and picked the bottom corner of the net with a quick wrist shot for this 16th goal of the season.
Lindback kept the Oilers from regaining any momentum on a late second period power play, making big stops on Eberle and Gordon to keep it 3-3 after 40 minutes.
Edmonton moved back in front eight minutes into the third period as Gordon did a good job to fight off a defender and swat home the rebound from his own backhand shot in tight.
The Oilers went up 5-3 just past the mid-mark with the teams playing four aside as Hall made a perfect redirection of an Andrew Ference point shot for his 16th goal and team-leading 41st point of the season.
Both teams return to the ice on Tuesday as the Lightning finish a four-game trip in Winnipeg and the Oilers play host to the St. Louis Blues.
Notes: Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (broken right tibia) has begun skating in full gear but is still not ready to return to the team. However, the Lightning have persevered without their star centre, coming into the game with a 13-7-4 record while he has been out… Tampa goalie Bishop could be a big loss if he is out for long after his first period injury. Bishop earned his league lead-tying fourth shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over Calgary on Friday and entered the contest against the Oilers having earned at least a point in 10 straight games (8-0-2) and allowing two or fewer goals in eight consecutive starts and 26 of 31 games… Defencemen Corey Potter (groin) and Philip Larsen (illness) are on Edmonton's injured reserve.

The Lake Elsinore City Council delayed a decision on whether to tear down a Southern California house that historians say once was associated with the late "Tarzan" star and Olympic gold medalist Johnny Weissmuller.
The Council delayed a decision on the tear-down at Tuesday night's council meeting, granting a reprieve until Aug. 11, "to give the property owner and code enforcement staff time to reach a conclusion," city spokesperson Mark Dennis said.
The property at 523 W. Minthorn St. has been vacant for more than 20 years, according to a staff report. The house sits on a hill in the middle of a proposed housing development, the report states.
A prospective buyer leased the home some years back but the lessee took out walls, pulled out the plumbing and electrical systems and began remodeling without city building permits, the report states.
The city tried to work with the potential buyer to submit plans for the rehabilitation but the person never officially submitted anything and left the house in a state of disrepair.
The house is "in a questionable state of structural integrity," states the report.
Over the years, the house has been vandalized and tagged by graffiti and recently, a code enforcement action was undertaken to remove a squatter from the property.
The city has taken action to place the property into structural abatement so it can either be rehabilitated or demolished. However, owner Eric Lunde and the Lake Elsinore Historical Society have filed an appeal of that action.
"After examining the house, it is our belief the house should not be torn down," said Ruth Atkins, president of the Lake Elsinore Historical Society.
Weissmuller was born in Austria-Hungary in 1904. He was married six times and died in Acapulco, Mexico in 1984 after a series of strokes. It was unclear how long he may have lived in the Lake Elsinore house.

At this year´s Milan Design week the Finnish manufacturer Martela presented a new lobby furniture designed by the Swedish Studio o4i.
Diagonal is an innovative combination of sofa and space divider for public indoor spaces that is intended for large groups and private conversations.
It consists of two basic elements: a padded seat and a screen that can be placed as desired. What sets Diagonal apart is its 'worktop', which is set slightly above the level of the rest of the sofa and which is intended for laptops or notebooks.
Diagonal was designed to meet the needs of changing working environments, which demand more flexible furniture. Laptops, wireless networks and mobile phones have liberated us from our desks, and our days typically consist of brief informal meetings and short appointments. Diagonal provides a comfortable and peaceful environment for these very purposes.

To the editor: Animal dissection, which was first used in classrooms in the early part of last century, is still being used in some classes.
In recent years, dissection has been increasingly scrutinized. Experts have reevaluated the educational worth and morality of cutting up animals to "see how they work."
Compassionate students want to study biology without dissecting animals. Sophisticated computer simulations, videodiscs, and models have been developed to meet the needs of these students.

Does the library have computers that I can use?
Yes. All Cumberland County libraries have computers with Internet service and Microsoft Office software that you can use. Computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis for any library card holder in good standing.
Guest cards are usually available at each library for visitors.
To make Internet computers available to as many people as possible, there is a 1-hour use limit per day. At busy times, use is limited to ½ hour.
To comply with federal laws, the library system filters all computers, even if your child is accompanied by a parent or guardian. If a site is inappropriately blocked, please ask a librarian for help. Also, if you are age 17 or older, you may ask that filtering be turned off when you have bona fide research or have other lawful purposes.
Filters aren't foolproof. Filters can give you a false sense of security that you are protected from harmful material. Filters can also block sites that may be considered inoffensive or useful. As always, if you don't find what you need, please ask a library staff person for help.

The house had a yard. This was B.A. - Before the Addition - so the yard was of a decent size, though not large. As we saw it, it was ready to be turned into a veritable Garden of Eden and be filled with vegetables, flowers, and fruit. Our horticultural ambitions knew no limit.
In addition to carving out and building some raised beds, we planted a few fruit trees. Well, it was a few at first. But early success made us (overly) confident, and we started to add. One apple tree became two, then a peach tree joined them, then two cherry trees took up posts on either side of a vegetable bed, and finally a stick posing as a pear tree was planted to fill a small patch of unused land. By that time there was already a flourishing raspberry patch as well as a small boysenberry patch and a couple of blueberry bushes.
Much to our surprise, the trees (well, all but the pear tree) started to bear fruit pretty quickly. The cherries were the first to ripen, first a few, then many more, and had to be checked each day. The peaches followed, and they were delicious. My husband thought he was in heaven when the Empire applies were ready to pick.
We reveled in the joy of being able to go out into the yard, pick a piece of fruit, and eat it the same day.
But we could not keep up with the trees. Soon there was more than we - and our friends and coworkers - could eat.
Time to start baking pies.
Fresh pies at first. But soon we - and our friends and coworkers - could not keep up with the pies, either.
I don't do canning, so I started to put the pie fillings in Tupperware containers and freeze them. Soon we had to buy more Tupperware containers. Each container could hold enough filling to make one deep-dish pie plus another regular-sized pie or several tarts.
Weekends were filled with picking fruit, cooking and freezing fruit, and making pie crusts. Cherries in particular took hours and hours of work.
At some point we lost the battle to keep up with the peach tree. Fruit became overly ripe, fell, rotted. Cicadas, having gotten drunk on the rotting fruit, would dive-bomb us. Peach clean-up was not a pleasant chore.
Finally fruit production started to abate. We felt like the Sorcerer's Apprentice after the Sorcerer arrives. Even so, we had a freezer filled with 12 Tupperware containers - peach, apple, and cherry pie fillings and even an entire container of raspberry pie filling.
We ate pies up through Thanksgiving. They were delicious, so the effort seemed almost worth it.
The next summer, the worm appeared in the apple. Well, not in the apple exactly. It appeared in the peaches. And the cherries. And it was not actually a worm, it was the caterpillar of the codling moth. I was not going to make pies with worms in them, and without going all out, it is difficult to completely prevent infestation, so this seriously reduced pie production. But we still had to get rid of the fruit.
Within a few years, the peach and pear trees and blueberry bushes were sacrificed when we built the addition to our house. The cherry trees became weaker and less productive and eventually died.
The apple trees endured. We even had our deck built with a cut-off corner so that we did not have to get rid of the First Apple Tree. But I started to cast a critical eye on the second apple tree - it was in the middle of the remaining yard, taking up space and sunlight, and did not bear as profusely or reliably as the first apple tree.
"I think we need to cut the second apple tree down." My husband, the great Pitier of Plants and Trees, was horrified. So we did nothing for another couple of years.
Then one day I came home to find that he had had the apple tree, or at least all of it but the bottom part of the trunk, cut down.
But it was not the second apple tree. It was the First. I went into shock. My husband explained that the branches the First Apple Tree extended too far over the deck and kept scratching up against the house, and we would always have to be cutting it back.
The idea of cutting down the second apple tree did not die right away; after the addition, yard space was at a premium, and by this time a silver maple had made sunny yard space even rarer. And the shade seemed to affect the quality of the apples borne by the second apple tree: they went from apples you could eat fresh to apples you could only use in pies to misshapen little things that were good for nothing except squirrel and insect food.
A few years ago, we decided to add bird feeders to our back yard. The first two we fastened onto the deck railing. But we wanted more. Over time we added a finch feeder, suet feeders, and a peanut feeder - and we put all of them on the Second Apple Tree.
For whatever stayed our hands from cutting down the Second Apple Tree, I am grateful. The birds love it. Those who are not at the feeders often use it as a waiting area. As our cats will tell you, it's the best show in town.

The growing demand of both industrial towns and large cities in carports, caused by the high population density in the urban areas, throw designers together with a good number of challenges. The main objectives set to car park ventilation professionals are typically the following:
- Maintain the acceptable indoor air parameters
- Ensure decent fire resistance
- Implement an environment-friendly system
Covered parking facilities are usually located below the ground level and require the installation of mechanical ventilation in nine cases out of ten. Semi-covered parking constructions, as a rule, are comprised of frames with multiple floors, though a roof and exterior walls may be partially or completely absent. This is where a natural or mixed ventilation system can be installed (a combination of natural and mechanical systems can also be installed for sites with a large floor area).
Closed car park ventilation system performs the following functions:
- Maintains the allowable concentration of carbon monoxide (CO)
- prevents the formation of explosive concentrations of flammable gases
Parking ventilation
The main factor determining the characteristics of a future parking ventilation system is the approximate number of cars serviced on a daily basis. This number is oftentimes determined by the type of construction, which represents the carport. As a rule, apartment buildings and shopping centers adopt the condition of constant and distributed car use, while the number of moving vehicles varies from 3% to 5% of the total number of cars. The situation is different in parking lots of sports facilities, concert halls, airports and etc. Here, the number of vehicles in simultaneous motion equals 15-20% during peak hours or during the hours that coincide with the beginning or the end of the business day.

Fantastic colours!
Great outfit!!
nice touch with the bindi! :)
just fall in love with the dress
She's so gorgeous! Great photo!!
I love these two rich colors together, and the sly knowing look in her eyes. The way she holds her hands together gently and tentatively makes me think that she is compassionate and flexible in life.
Sigh… Simply beautiful.
Wow!! She is glowing with natural beauty! The bag is awesome!
Lovely shot, beautiful girl, great colours, and I like the mustard colour clutch!
Love the bag. Nice color.
The yellow clutch the gal is holding in the Dec. 4 Sartorialist…can you identify who made it? Is it a clutch of bag for carrying ipad?
that hair is a great accessory!
Just love it!!!!
She's gorgeous.
Is she wearing a bindi ?
I thought I had dropped a crumb on my screen!
It is a bindi! It looks like it works for her.
Very collected
Why, yes. Yes, she is wearing a bindi–the forehead decoration. Red, white and blue, even. Smart girl!
So cute and so French.
cute bag! ;)
She looks flawless!
The bindi is a subtle, exotic touch! Very unexpected, yet it somehow elevates the whole outfit.
Crystalizingly beautiful. She persuasively wears this facial detail. Adorable shot.
It was a pleasure and honour meeting you, sir. In the past four days; I went out dressed as a panda; saw a man, lying between two beds of nails, run over by a motorcycle; been arrested; sold new skis to a 5yr old going skiing for the first time, and met, and spoke with a true inspiration and hero. It's wonderful life. Safe journeys, sir, and all the best to you and yours.
She's gorgeous!
xo Jennifer
love the bag
i love the silhouette of the dress & the colors!
Such a beautiful girl. I love her loose fitting dress and her gorgeous yellow clutch.
A smile is the best accessory. She's got a great one – a mischievous smirk! LOVE it!
-Daisy Nguyen from the PS BANANAS! fashion blog: http://psbananas.com
Gorgeous bag!
Love the colors together + her short bangs and perfect eyebrows. Really beautiful!
The jewel on the forehead makes her look mysterious and so do the eyes.
beautiful colors yet a beautiful lady!
great combination of the textured mustard clutch and the burgundy dress.
nice shot!
She's so beautiful. Magical image.
Beautiful shot! I love her clutch.
fantastic picture!!!
Gian Luca M
she is so pretty!
What a nice good looking woman!
Beautiful photo! Love the little jewel detail!
She looks gorgeous! Those colors are lovely together!
I have a strange attraction to that bag. Christmas present anyone?
amazing colors!!
Stunning outfitt, and those eyes … !
what bag is this?
I love her dress. It's a dress women love, and (most) men hate.
she is so beautiful!!!!
Beautiful photo! We love the mix of colours!
Love the outfit on her and the colors fit her so well!
Love the Indian touch…and her bag…
She's a nice girl! good pict!
I love the cominbation of the soft colours, the light brown hair, the dark tomato red blouse and the yellow bag. I don t think that photos always have to be super sharp, I especially love the area full of light around her head. Great shot!
She's nice :)
nice photo!!
love the bindi
I can't understand how this girl, as many other i've seen here, can dress like that with such low temperatures! I'd love to; it's so much easy to dress on summer! But it's freezing!
Nice dress
I never thought of antique rose and soft yellow together, but it's a great combination as well as the delicate lip and nail color in the same tone of the dress. Beautiful girl.
I love her look!
Wow, she looks great and I like her dress and that color. Have a nice day.
Wow she is awesome, love the bag!
Nice shot, but I hate the cultural appropriation.
THANK YOU. I'm glad someone pointed it out. Someone else's culture is not your fashion.
I was wondering when someone would get inappropriately outraged. Gee, how awful. I am sure Scottish people don't get too outraged when people appropriate plaid for simple decoration, and they took their clan colors very seriously and still do in many ways. So I guess if no one ever cares about plaid, no reason top care about this either.
Try living as a brown minority. No it is not ok to take a religious and culturally Hindu symbol and wear it as a white person. Not at all. When white man has oppressed brown man's religion and culture in a variety of forms, now he is able to take a brown man's cultural symbol as fashion because it is beautiful and exotic looking? Wonderful. VERY wonderful. I am a brown woman, so you can have that as legitimacy for the outrage.
People wear cross designs as earrings and on tshirts all the time, and no one gets too upset about that, even. So if no one cares about the Christian cross having much respect, I don't see how this is a problem.
I have always loved this blog, so I'm really disappointed to see what appears to be a white woman wearing a bindi. This is cultural appropriation, and it is one of the ugliest features of mainstream fashion. I thought that this blog would be above that sort of thing.
Perfect girl! Adore!
beautiful girl!
Alma Jodorowsky ?
Yes she is!
wow…perfect hair and makeup!
Ahhhh I must get a Bindi immediately!!!!! She looks gorgeous!
Beautiful eye makeup, mysterious and elegant.
I agree with Gena.
Of course bindi is very elegant but it's not a fashion accessory. It has a real meaning and I think it's quite disrespectful to wear it just to"enhance" a look, especially at a fashion show.
Love her bag!
I love this picture! She seems so gentle and delicate…
chic lady … great dress, great clutch
Lelli, italian fashion family
She's simply gorgeous !! Her face reminds me of Arizona Muse :)
Love those colours!
I like the bindi.
those two colors look stunning together! this is a perfect combination for fall
I love her over sized clutch
Love it!Simple and beautiful!
She is GORGEOUS! I'm coveting all things prohibition-era at the moment, so her drop waist dress is right up my alley. Awesome color combos too.
Strive to Thrive,
Great colour combo! Love the photo, beautiful subject!
she's so stunning! the bindi is such a unique touch
Love the color of her dress !!
Beautiful shot! She is stunning and extremely well dressed.
Love the clutch!!

Though I am Indian I do not find the bindi inappropriate in any way. This is because except the red/ maroon bindi all other bindis are worn to enhance ones beauty. The red bindi shows the married status of the woman (usually). In southern India the red bindi is worn by women who are married and unmarried (but not widows). But I hope that people are aware of the connection between the third eye and the bindi.
I love the photograph and her style. But I wish she had chosen a better bindi.
That is exactly the problem with people wearing bindis as a fashion item. There is no understanding of the cultural reasons behind why it is worn. It is also worn in India for beauty, but different bindis have different meanings. I have also, growing up in the states, gotten various comments, several negative, from Caucasians about "the dot," which I was wearing for religious reasons. I do not respect a Caucasian I see who is wearing it, but I can also understand why other Indians may not be so disturbed.
"We've been 'cool' for a very long time, and in that sense our culture has been taken for a very long time. How do we define when we've arrived? It's not when a young, white girl in Berkley is wearing nice garlands or those nice buddhist beads, or wearing bindi. I don't feel like my life in anyway has been improved because she has the ability to do that and thinks that's okay. My life hasn't improved. The life of my mother has not improved. Our voice as a community within this economic system has not improved.
A good friend of mine, she's south Indian, and she grew up in Connecticut. Her mom would make her wear her bindi and go to school. She would get harassed by kids… she would be harassed so much that what she would do, is that because she was so ashamed to have that bindi on her head, she would leave her house, wipe it off… and then come home and put it back on.
To the point where a child would have to think about such a deliberate attempt to refute their own culture I think is pretty profound. If there's a white girl wearing a bindi walking down central avenue in the heights, she's not considered a dot head, even though she has a dot on her head.
For me, the feeling is disgust and anger. The way I look at it if I see it, I just get so mad because I think, how dare this person be able to wear that, or hold that, or put that statue in her house and not take any of the oppression for that. How dare they. That's not fair. We have to take so much heat and repression for expressing ourselves.
I'm going to rip that thing off your head, and I'm going to scrub that mehndi off your hands, because you don't have the right to wear it. Until the day when you walk in our shoes, and you face what we face… the pain, and the shame, and the hurt, and the fear, you don't have the right to wear that. It is not your right, and you're not worthy of it. I feel like it's so superficial and it's so disrespected. One day, wake up, be me, and then you'll see how powerful what you're wearing is. "
—Raahi Reddy, Yellow Apparel: When the Coolie Becomes Cool
i am indian and let me tell you that this is not cultural appropriation the wrong kind.this is fashion bindi not a religious one.it is made and manufactured to be used as an accessory.you guys just like jumping at nothing.wearing something that is made for religious/ritualistic purposes only is wrong.however this ain't it.if you adopt something of a different culture into your own style then it helps combat xenophobia and raises more awareness about other cultures.
Really like this – it is new.
No need for a bindi. She would be equally beautiful and special without it, even more.
There was no need for a bindi, nothing is uglier than cultural appropriation just to look different or exotic. I agree with Meyers quoted, many people should look into that
Love the colours and the yellow ostrich leather clutch. Simple and funky at the same time.
The colours she's wearing go to together almost seamlessly – very funky shot Scott, I fell in love with this one!
Love the drop waist dress, the color combo, and the little decoration on her forehead looks cute.
Love this darling outfit and handbag
so pretty!
trendy! ^_^
beautiful super

"Fast and Furious 6": 1, "Hangover Part III" director Todd Phillips: 0.
The Memorial Day weekend box office results are in, and "Fast 6" flattened the Wolfpack's third outing by a 2-to-1 margin. Now Phillips -- like some of his film's characters -- may be wishing that he hadn't done what he did in Vegas.
Back in April, before the public had the chance to weigh in on his film, Phillips took to the stage at the annual CinemaCon theater owners convention in Sin City and issued a challenge to his main box-office competition.
He knocked the wildly successful "Fast" series and its lead actors with an expletive-laden rant: "All these press people backstage are asking me, 'Are you nervous?'" Phillips said, referring to his box-office showdown with the action series. "Come on, it's ... Vin Diesel and the Rock."
Yet Diesel, the Rock and their Teflon-like franchise easily fended off the third installment of "The Hangover," which was excoriated by the critics and not particularly beloved by the fans, who gave it a B grade, according to exit pollster Cinemascore.
The R-rated Vegas romp grossed an estimated $53 million from Friday to Monday (and close to $64 million when you factor in the extra cash earned on the film's Thursday opening). That's pocket change compared with "Fast 6," which took in $122 million over the four-day period.
What may make the sting even more painful to Warner Bros., the studio behind the "Hangover," is that the film cost $103 million, up from the $70-million price tag of the second installment. Phillips, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis each apparently saw sizable increases in their checks. "Everyone got paid," said Phillips in an interview with the Los Angeles Times at CinemaCon. "And that's life."
Despite his cockiness, Phillips did acknowledge that final films in comedy trilogies often disappoint. "If you look at the third movies of comedy trilogies -- 'Rush Hour,' 'Meet the Parents,' 'Austin Powers' -- honest to God, those movies tend to drop in their third film," he said. "They lose 20% of their audience. So we're aware of that."
Considering "The Hangover Part III" opened to less than half of what "Hangover 2" did the same weekend back in 2011, Phillips will be lucky if in the end he only loses 20%.

Keep in mind, these are not merely cheap hotels. These are hotels of all classes, sizes and locations, all offered at the lowest possible rate!
Hotelsone.com takes the guesswork out of choosing a hotel by providing you with accurate detailed information about every hotel, telling you whether the Internet access is free or for a fee, wired or wireless, in your guest room or in the public areas. Every question you have is answered before you make your reservation.
How many rooms, swimming pools, private balconies and restaurants does each hotel have? Is there a hotel bar? A nightclub? Is it next to a golf course? How many metres away is the beach? Or the ski lift? Or the airport, bus station or train station? Every hotel features a map so you'll see exactly where it is and photos so you can see what it looks like. Many hotel listings even feature video presentations. Guest reviews are listed as well, so you can see the opinions of your fellow travelers.
Five-star beach resorts on the French Riviera are listed, as are budget youth hostels a block from the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, holiday apartments in Berlin's centre, centuries-old castle hotels in the Loire Valley, historic country manors in the English countryside, cutting-edge lofts in trendy Manhattan and laid-back beach pads in Venice Beach. No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it on hotelsone.com, and you'll find it cheap.
Some of the most popular European cities listed on hotelsone.com are London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and Amsterdam. London hotels range from the five-star Baglioni Hotel London on Hyde Park Gate to the hip, low-cost Rama Hotel on Belgrave Road. Hotels can be found in walking distance of London icons like Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and Kew Gardens in Richmond. Like in the movies, many hotels in Paris actually do provide views of the Eiffel Tower. But using hotelsone.com, you can also find hotels high up in Montmartre, way down in the Marais District or way out near Disneyland Paris. In Europe we highly recommend the the rembrandt london, millennium hotel london and the isle of anglesey. Check out La Rambla and Split five star hotels.
If you really want to experience the grand history of the Eternal City of Rome, there are plenty of ancient villas throughout the city that put you close to such iconic sights as the Coliseum and the Spanish Steps. The compact size of Madrid's downtown makes it easy to walk all of the city's museums, parks, plazas and churches, especially when you're staying in one of the famous city-centre bargain pensions. Whether you're in Amsterdam to explore the heights of western culture in the Van Gogh Museum or the just how seedy it can get in the Red Light District, hotelsone.com has many great accommodation choices.
North America
Consisting of only Canada, the USA and Mexico, North America is much more spread out than Europe, and hotelsone.com can find you value hotel prices far and wide in many cities across the continent. Montreal is the cultural capital of the province of Quebec and is also the second-largest French-speaking city in the world behind Paris. No wonder that it's also Canada's most stylish city and boasts so many sophisticated hotels. It goes without saying that New York City is hotelsone.com's most popular city in the USA, and no matter what neighborhood your Manhattan apartment is in, it's sure to be in walking distance of a world-famous icon and a great slice of pizza. Boasting the Zocalo, the third largest square in the world after Red Square and Tiananmen Square, Mexico City is a huge place, boasting a unique history, a unique cuisine and a long list of great hotels.
South America
South America is a continent of contrasts, ranging from some of the world's most impenetrable rain forests to some of its highest mountains driest deserts. The cities provide a wide range of cultures, from Spanish to German to Italian to Japanese to Native American. This can be seen in the cities, like in Santiago de Chile, where colonial churches mingle with pre-Columbian museums and European restaurants. If you're visiting in the winter, be sure to go skiing in the nearby Andes. Buenos Aires, Argentina is known as the Paris of South America, and its grand boulevards and Art Deco architecture is certainly evocative of the past. And then there's Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where a hotel in Copacabana or Ipanema Beaches is a ticket to a lively city that is not afraid to flaunt its wild side.
Once the realm of adventure travelers, Africa has been opening up, and travelers have been discovering all the different worlds the continent has to offer, from Morocco and Egypt in the north to the sub-Saharan countries in the middle to South Africa at the tip. Cairo, Egypt offers a truly unique opportunity to sift through the sands of time, whether by visiting the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the Khan el-Khalili Market or the Great Pyramids of Giza, just outside the city. Nairobi, Kenya is more than just the gateway to discovering all the zebras, lions, tigers and other animals waiting on your Safari into nearby Nairobi Park. It's also a bustling city of three and half million waiting to show you its sights, sounds and flavors. Cape Town, South Africa is a coastal city, offering resort hotels along the shore. It's also a city of commerce, offering business hotels and also makes a great stepping off point for South African Safaris.
Spread out over a good portion of the globe, Asia also offers the widest range of peoples and cultures of any continent, encompassing the Middle East, the Indian Sub-Continent and awesomely large China. Though it was only founded in 1819, the city-state of Singapore is now the world's busiest port and host to an ever-growing skyline that takes the breath away. Asia's melting pot, Singapore boasts Chinese, Malay and Indian populations. From the busiest to the tallest, Dubai is home to the Burj Khalifa, which at 828 metres is the world's highest building. Many other imaginative skyscrapers grace the city, and many of them are hotels. And seemingly a world away is Bangkok, Thailand, home to the Grand Palace and hundreds of stunning temples, from Wat Arun to Wat Pho, which is home to the world's largest reclining Buddha.
If you took the population of Mexico City and spread them out in a country roughly the size of the USA, you would have Australia. Most of Australia's people, and thus most of its hotels are concentrated in a few cities, all within 100 miles of the coast. The biggest, oldest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia is Sydney, a beautiful place spread out along the shores of many bays and boasting some of the country's most famous beaches, not to mention that famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Australia's second city, the somewhat flatter Melbourne, plays Los Angeles to Sydney's San Francisco. More suburban than Sydney, Melbourne has a charming old downtown area and some beautiful botanical gardens. If you'd like to get out of the city, Cairns, located far up the east coast, is the entryway to both the rain forest and the Great Barrier Reef and boasts many hostels and budget accommodations.

Free to All Current QuarkXPress 10 Users, Version 10.2 is a Significant Update that Addresses Performance and Output Issues Reported by Customers
Test Drive Reset Offers Everyone a New 30-day Trial Period
Denver, CO - 7/30/2014 - Quark Software Inc. announced today QuarkXPress® 10.2, an update to QuarkXPress 10 that is available free of charge to all users currently on version 10 and available as part of Quark's Creative Pro bundle offer.
QuarkXPress 10.2 is fast, renders stunning high-quality images and enables users to optimise their environment for onscreen image display and performance. The new update also introduces new collaboration and productivity features at no additional cost to current version 10 users.
The update is available through the Auto Updater in QuarkXPress 10 or can be downloaded here: http://www.quark.com/Support/Downloads/. Everyone can trial QuarkXPress 10.2 by downloading the 30-day Test Drive here: http://www.quark.com/Products/QuarkXPress/Test_Drive.aspx.
More Control over Performance and Image Display Quality
The Xenon Graphics Engine, introduced with QuarkXPress 10, takes full advantage of a computer's processing power to render rich PDFs, Photoshop and TIFF images at the maximum and most appropriate resolution. QuarkXPress 10.2 introduces even more control over the new graphics engine. Now designers can use a preference option within QuarkXPress to balance between maximum performance and highest image display quality – depending on the project at hand. Regardless of whether designers opt for display quality or performance, QuarkXPress 10.2 outperforms previous versions of QuarkXPress.
QuarkXPress 10.2 pre-release tester Peter Loader, Owner of Omega Graphix in Australia, said, "I'm loving 10.2. It's much more stable than previous versions of QuarkXPress 10 and faster than version 9. The major performance and output issues have been addressed and the image preview is great. 10.2 is now my production tool of choice!"
Matthias Guenther, Director of the Desktop Business Unit for Quark Software Inc., said, "I invite designers to test, or re-test, what we believe is now the best, most reliable version of QuarkXPress ever. During the development phase, QuarkXPress 10.2 was tested extensively by pre-release testers around the world who reported significant performance improvements relative to previous versions of QuarkXPress."
For more customer feedback on QuarkXPress 10.2 please read today's related announcement here.
New Features in QuarkXPress 10.2
In addition to performance and quality improvements, QuarkXPress 10.2 adds new features and functionality that will help designers collaborate throughout the review process, prepare layouts for output and work more productivity. New features include:
Redlining: Track changes within QuarkXPress documents so writers, editors, project managers and other users can see what changes have been made. Using the Redline feature, teams can view the inserted and deleted text content made in a project and decide whether to accept or reject the changes.
Notes: Store comments in a project without affecting the actual content of the project by adding reminders and comments on the text content. A note in QuarkXPress now looks like the "sticky" notes designers and reviewers might stick to hard copy versions. Notes can also be exported as PDF notes when creating a PDF from the QuarkXPress project.
Superior output, ready for PDF/X-4: QuarkXPress 10.2 output passes all version 4 Ghent Workgroup Output Tests (http://www.gwg.org/download/test-suites/ghent-output-suite/), which is especially important for PDF/X-4 based workflows.
Anchored boxes without limit: In version 10.2 there are no limitations on nesting anchored boxes. Previous versions of QuarkXPress have a limit of two levels.
Import/export hyphenation exceptions: Export and import hyphenation exceptions created for a document and share the exceptions across projects to maintain uniformity. Keep track of all hyphenation exceptions by merging the exceptions into one set that can be shared across workstations. Hyphenation exceptions can be created for all 30+ languages supported by QuarkXPress and can be automatically synchronised when using Quark Job Jackets. This allows designers to edit exceptions either in QuarkXPress or in an external hyphenation exceptions file (XML). Either way, when saving or opening a connected project, hyphenation exceptions are automatically synchronised.
Go Pro Bundle Offer
Until the end of August 2014, Quark will continue to offer the QuarkXPress Creative Pro bundle. The bundle offers anyone who purchases or upgrades to QuarkXPress 10 the option to choose £900 worth of tools for creative professionals. Learn about the bundle here: http://content.quark.com/creativepro-us.html.

RightScale Stop Recipe From Being Used In RightScript, GIT /tmp/ssh.key.sh
If you have created a custom RightScript in the RightScale interface that uses git to clone a repository and you are running that RightScript on boot following the RightScale git_repo recipe then you likely are having issues. The problem appears to stem from the fact that the environment variables are not completely cleaned up as expected including $GIT_SSH and possibly others. I have a work around noted below along with a line you can enter in your RightScript to clear the $GIT_SSH ENV variable as well.

6 year old male - San Francisco CA (Adopted 5/15)
This 6 year old boy can best be described as a delicate flower. If you're looking for a mellow cuddle buddy Mateo would be perfect for you. Mateo is partially blind and seems to really enjoy getting to know his surroundings through his other senses. He gets around surprisingly well and is a pretty confident guy but won't need much exercise. He responds well to verbal cues and will follow and trust you just with your voice. Because he tries to chase small animals he would do best in a home without any other dogs or dogs his size or larger. Mateo needs a special adopter who will give him unconditional love and a stable home to help build his confidence even more! Click on this link to view more pictures of Mateo: http://norcalfamilydogrescue.rescuegrou ... ID=8311738
Please visit http://ilovefamilydog.org for more information on how to adopt this special fellow!
Loup Garou Animal Rescue, a rescue partner of NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FAMILY DOG RESCUE, is a 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization, dedicated to the rescue & rehoming of black and dark coated companion animals in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Re: 6 year old male - San Francisco CA
He is so cute. I would adopt him right away but I live to far

The President of the Fairfax Genealogical Society recently sent out an e-mail to Society members in which he passed on news about proposed changes to the areas at NARA where genealogists use NARA materials, work with consultants, and participate in genealogy education programs. The changes would include: relocation of the Finding Aids/Consultants to the library, a reduction in the number of microfilm readers, the use of "pull on demand" for retrieval of microfilm and elimination of digital access for researchers to microfilm collections, relocation of the microfilm reading room to the old Finding Aids/Consultants room, elimination of the Lecture Room, and conversion of the spaces currently occupied by Military Research, Room 24, and the lobby area with the sign-in desk and volunteers' desk to Museum/Shop spaces. In sum, the area for consultations and use of Finding Aids would be inadequate, with conversations and research going on in the same small spaces, and orientation and education programs would suffer from lack of spaces.
If you wish to register objections to the proposed changes, it is recommended that you write to the Acting Archivist, the nominee for the position of Archivist, the Senator who is responsible for the Archivist's confirmation hearings, and two Congressmen known to have taken an interest in the National Archives (as well as your own congressional representatives) at the following addresses:

Ryan Braun: Back in the swing of things08/18/2008 12:10 PM ET
After missing six straight games last week while recovering from a strain in the back of my rib cage, I couldn't wait to get back on the field this past weekend for several reasons: We're in a playoff race, I'm from California, and I was getting really bored.
I suffered the injury during my first at-bat against the Nationals on August 9. My back was sort of tight all that day, but I took an awkward swing on a big curveball, and I felt it lock up on me. I've never had an injury like that before, so I didn't know what it was. I was hoping it would just loosen up, but it didn't.
The official terminology that was used for the injury was a strained intercostal. It was in the oblique rib cage area. I feel like you hear about the injury all the time, but maybe you don't get the technical name for it. It wasn't something I was familiar with by name, but the injury itself is somewhat common in baseball.
Since the injury, I'd had a lot of treatment, and slowly, it got better so I could return as a pinch-hitter on Saturday and start on Sunday. Rehab is no fun.
The pain was intense at first. It was really uncomfortable. Doing simple things like laughing, sneezing and coughing hurt. It was nice to get past that part, but you still have to be careful, because it's the type of injury that can easily be reaggravated.
No injury comes at a good time, of course, but this one came while we were on a West Coast trip, and I'm from Los Angeles. We had games in San Diego and L.A., and I would have been pretty disappointed if I hadn't played. It was tough to be back home and be hurt.
I didn't get a chance to play in L.A. last year either, so I didn't want to miss the opportunity to play at home where I had a ton of family and friends sitting in the left-field pavilion. I missed all the Padres games and the first Dodgers game.
I started to feel better toward the end of the week. Sometimes the best thing for an injury like this is simply rest. Heat, steam, ice and massage help some, but I had to let it run its course. Finally, I was able to pinch hit on Saturday, and I got back in the lineup on Sunday.
Sitting and watching the team when you're hurt feels a little different than when you don't start a game. It's more relaxing because you know you aren't going to play. You get more of a mental break from the game.
It was also fun to just sit back and watch our team play. It makes me realize just how good our starting pitching is. I usually play behind them in the field, but the perspective from the bench just reinforces how impressive our guys are. It's fun to sit back and watch C.C. Sabathia and Ben Sheets and the rest of the guys make some of the opposing hitters look silly.
When I sit, I also get to see what the coaches and manager do more. It's a learning opportunity. I haven't given any thought to coaching some day because it's so far down the road. That's something that can wait for another 15 to 20 years.
Now that I'm past the injury, I need to focus on regaining my rhythm and timing at the plate so I don't feel like it's the first day of Spring Training all over again.
Ryan Braun, who won the 2007 Players Choice Award for Outstanding Rookie in the National League, leads the Brewers in home runs (31) and RBIs (86) so far this season. The 24-year-old slugger, an outfielder who played collegiately at the University of Miami, hit .366 and participated in his first All-Star Game in July.
