Such was my research day yesterday. It was a good lesson in realizing that "things may not be what they seem" and "read the ENTIRE record." Just because somebody named so-and-so is over in the next townland it doesn't mean he's the person you are looking for.
Yesterday I unintentionally ended up revisiting some Mahony questions that have been on the back burner. First question: Were the Mahonys of Bredagh related in some way to the Mahonys in surrounding areas, such as Toughbaun and Minanes? Second question: Where was Catherine Hurley Mahony of Bredagh from? I will leave the second question for a separate posting.
Mahonys in the Drimoleague, Drinagh, Ballymoney, and Kilmacabea areasIf you have read earlier postings, you'll know from the release of the remaining Castlehaven & Myross baptism records I found more conclusive evidence indicating that Grandmom's paternal grandmother was the Mary Mahony who was the daughter of Denis Mahony and Catherine Hurley of Bredagh. Kate Hurley showed up as a baptism sponsor for Laurence (indexed as Jane), the first son of Daniel Collins and Mary Mahony.
There have been only two minor problems with that conclusion: 1) Mary Mahony's birth year, as suggested by the 1901 census and her 1901 death record, suggested 1825/6 as a birth year. The Mary from Bredagh was baptized in late 1823. It's not uncommon for people to be slightly off on their birth years, so this is not a major problem. 2) One of the Mahony baptism sponsors of the Collins children was a Daniel. There is no baptism record for a Daniel out of Bredagh in the right time period, but given that there is no marriage record for Denis Mahony = Kate Hurley, it is impossible to know what children were born before the start of available church records. Daniel could also have been a younger brother of Denis or a cousin. The name of Daniel's co-sponsor, Mary Burke, is also the name of the wife of a Daniel Mahony in Castledonovan, as per the Drimoleague & Drinagh online church records. Unless this is some amazing coincidence, Daniel M and Mary B of Castledonovan likely had a relationship to the Mahonys in Bredagh.
The known siblings of Mary of Bredagh were Patrick (1822), Norry (1826), Margaret (1831), Tim (1834), Denis (1836), and Kate (1840). In addition, there is evidence from the 1901 census that there may have been a brother named Cain.
Margaret Mahony of Bredagh married Denis Collins of Lissane. They had a son Tim, who became a baker and had a grocery with his older sister Mary in the village of Drimoleague. Mary and Tim Collins are in Drimoleague in the 1911 census.
They weren't yet situated there in 1901. I have no idea where Mary was in 1901, but where was Tim the baker? I believe I found him, listed as a boarder with a Michael Mahony, his wife Ann, and some of their children, in Toughbaun.
Was Tim Collins a second, or maybe third cousin of Michael Mahony of Toughbaun? Or just a neighbor or friend?
To dig into that, I had to look at my research from when I was originally researching Mary Mahony. One family really stood out - Tim Mahony and Ellen Crowley of Minanes, a townland adjacent to Toughbaun. Tim and Ellen married 30-Jun-1822 in Drimoleague & Drinagh parish. The known children of this Minanes couple were Denis (1823), Mary (1825), Juliann (1827), Dan (1829), Tim (1832), Ellen (1834), Cain (1837), Ann (1840), Michael (1844), and Kate (1848). Whew! Ellen Crowley must have been quite young when she married!
When I was first researching my gg-grandmother, this daughter Mary, baptized in 1825, seemed like a better fit. Could this have been my ancestral family? After some long deliberation, I concluded they weren't.
The names of the Mahony witnesses to events for the family of Daniel Collins and Mary Mahony of Cullomane East were Denis (the wedding of Daniel C = Mary M in 1845), Margaret (in 1847), Cain (in 1852), Daniel (in 1856), Catherine (in 1858), Timothy (in 1860), Margaret (in 1860), and Kate (in 1863). The Minanes family did not have a Cain or a Margaret that I could find. The Bredagh family was missing only a Daniel, which might be explained due to incomplete information on the Bredagh family. Kate from Minanes, baptized in 1848, would have been way too young to have been a Godmother in 1858. Furthermore, no Juliann or Ann or Michael shows up as a Collins event witness.
Some time ago, when I first investigated the Toughbaun family in the 1901 census, I obtained the birth record of son Stephen. Stephen was registered 1-Sep-1878, in Toughbaun, father Michael Mahony, a shoemaker. The mother was listed as Mary Sullivan. The mother in the census is named Ann. So there are conflicts here.
The Michael from Minanes would certainly have been a suitable age to marry Ann Sullivan from Leap on 24-Feb-1870 and settle in Toughbaun, right next door to Minanes. But everything falls apart from there.
The Kilmacabea R.C. parish marriage records for the time period lists the names of the fathers of the bride and groom. Michael's father was listed as Michael, not Tim. Oops!
The Drimoleague & Drinagh baptism records show the following children for this Toughbaun couple: Hanora (1871), Michael John (1872), James (1874), Dan (1876), and Maryanne (1880). That the oldest boy was named Michael John convinces me the Kilmacabea register did not have an error. The ONLY Mahony wedding witness was John.
Practically none of the Minanes names show as Toughbaun event witnesses - no Tim, no Denis, no Ann, no Juliann, etc. The only Mahony names as baptism sponsors in Toughbaun are John and Ellen.
So the Michael married to Ann Sullivan and in the census in Toughbaun doesn't appear to be the Michael from next-door Minanes. That theory looks dead.
Who then, was this Michael, son of a Michael? Another review of the church records for the area was necessary, and there was a chance I would never find him, if he was born before the availability of area records. Drimoleague & Drinagh R.C. Parish records contain a BIG GAP in missing marriages, roughly 1864-1876, so to fully travel this avenue of research I will have to exhaustively search the civil registration index. I will leave that task on the back burner.
Here's a possibility for Michael Junior. A record for Mick Mahony, baptized in Drimoleague & Drinagh R.C. Parish, 29-Mar-1835, was transcribed as father White Mahony, mother Dunn, and sponsor Kate Donovan. I looked at the image, and I believe it reads: Mick, illegitimate of Mick Mahony Dunmanway and Kate Donovan. The record is too blackened to get any further information out of it, so I don't know where the mother lived.
Here's another one. Baptized Sep-1844, Castlehaven & Myross R.C. Parish. Mother is Ellen Donovan. No residence given. Further search on that couple did not lead to anything enlightening.
Here's another possibility for Michael Junior. Baptized 24-Oct-1846, Kilmacabea R.C. Parish. Mother listed as Elle Donovan. The residence is blackened out, but looks like it could start with a T. I searched for more children for this couple. A son John, baptized 14-Mar-1840, shows the residence of Tralong, which is in the civil parish of Ross. This is not outside the realm of possibility, and there is a sibling John, which is a nice plus.
Here's a final possibility. Baptized 8-Sep-1838. Mother yet another Nell Donovan. The residence is listed as Carranashingane. Searching for more children of this couple, there is a Denis, baptized 6-Feb-1845, residence is listed as Killaveennogue. A daughter, Margaret, baptized 12-Feb-1836, is listed with a residence that looks like "Tuligdarmuid." I think that last place could be Toughmacdermody. These three locations are adjacent to each other and they all lie just a few miles north of Toughbaun. I am guessing that this Michael Senior was a laborer, who moved his family around a bit.
Neither Griffith's Valuation nor the Tithe Applotment for Drinagh have so far shed any light on the origins of this Michael Mahony Senior. In addition, I would like to have seen a son John in this family to feel more like this is Toughbaun Michael's family.
Have I extracted all the clues I could get from the marriage record of Michael Mahony and Ann Sullivan? No! The record lists the groom's residence as Drinagh. It also lists the residence of the groom's father. It is rather unreadable, looking like Kilculua or Kilculan. That does not look familiar. But wait, there's more! The Kilmacabea R.C. Parish record also lists the residence of the witness John Mahony, as Kilcaskan. The only Kilcaskan around is in Ballymoney civil parish, in Dunmanway. There are a few intriguing place names around there, like Kilvinane, and Kilvurra. The Ballymoney Tithe Applotment lists a Michael Mahony in Currabeg, which lies maybe a mile southeast of Kilcaskan and is near Kilvinane and Kilvurra. Now I am wondering if perhaps the illegitimate Michael, son of Kate Donovan, has come into play.
One obvious line of research is to look at the civil registration birth records for some of the other children, to confirm the mother was Ann Sullivan. Other interesting facts that have sprung up - present at the birth of Stephen Mahony was a Mary Donovan of Curraghalicky, another place in the same neighborhood. And Michael of Toughbaun is listed as a grocer in Francis Guy's directory of 1914. Perhaps at one time Tim the baker was an apprentice shopkeeper?
For now, I will leave this research as it is, and revisit it later.


text: Hootoo + OpenWrt + Velleman K8055N 26 March 2016 david Code One of the things that I had kicking around at home was a Velleman K8055N (actually mine was the pre-made version, the the VM110N) - but I think they are essentialy the same thing. I decided that it would be really cool to try it out on OpenWrt ... so that eventually I could try interfacing a tiny embedded Linux machine with the outside world. Some quick googling led me to this driver which I tried on a Debian Virtual Machine first, and then decided to run it on my Hootoo HT-TM02. I used a docker container to build the kernel module according to the instructions, and then copied it over onto the device for installation. The first attempt at installing the module gave the following error: Collected errors: * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for kmod-k8055d: * kernel (= 3.18.23-1-e2416fa0abee73ea34d947db4520f4e9) * Which I assumed was just OpenWrt being a bit over cautious, because I was actually running kernel v3.18.23. So I took the risk and overrode the error, with this command: opkg install /tmp/kmod-k8055d_0.2.1_3.18.23-ramips-1_ramips_24kec.ipk --nodeps Perfect, it worked! So the K8055N is now accessible in the file system under /proc. To celebrate, I hooked up the digital-to-analoge converter to an old voltmeter, so I could watch the needle bounce around in response to what I'm typing on the command line: I think that's pretty awesome, although I don't know what I'll use it for. Perhaps I'll build some kind of Web API and allow inputs and outputs to be controlled from a browser. Or ... come to think of it, I could build a really cool CPU meter with the output showing via the needle of the voltmeter.

When we change out furnaces I used to see the electrician bond the gas line to either the water line or back to the panel. Lately they haven't been doing it.
1. Why would they not do this anymore?
2. Is bonding of steel gas lines still required if the utility service line is plastic coming out of the ground?

Watermelons - Key Growing Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus
CULTURE: A light, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5–7.5 and a southern exposure is ideal. Good soil moisture is important in early stages of growth and during pollination when fruits are setting. After this point do not water the last week before fruits are ripe, as overwatering can cause bland fruit.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow indoors in 50-cell plug trays or 2–3" peat pots in late April or one month (no sooner!) before transplanting outdoors. Plant 2 seeds per cell or pot, about ½–1" deep. Keep temperature 80–90°F (27–32°C) until germination. Handle young plants carefully and never let the soil dry out. Grow seedlings at 75°F (24°C). Reduce water and temperature for a week to harden seedlings. When the weather is frost-free, warm, and settled, transplant 2–3' apart in rows 6–8' apart, or thin to 1 plant/pot or cell with scissors and transplant 18" apart. Even hardened watermelon seedlings are tender! Do not disturb roots when transplanting, and water thoroughly.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow 1–2 weeks after last frost when soil is warm, above 70°F (21°C), 3 seeds every 18–36", ½–1" deep, thinning to 1 plant/spot.
ROW COVERS: Since watermelons like consistently warm conditions, plastic mulch and row covers will make for earlier crops and better yields, especially in the North. Remove covers when plants have female flowers (tiny fruit at base of blossom).
DISEASES: Choose varieties resistant to diseases in your area. "Sudden wilt" is a complex disease and cold weather stress syndrome in late summer when plants have a heavy set of ripening watermelons, can cause plants to wilt almost overnight. Keep plants healthy with good fertility and irrigation to avoid sudden wilt.
INSECT PESTS: Protect against cucumber beetles with floating row covers applied at transplanting, or control with insecticides such as pyrethrin or azadarachtin.
RIPENESS: There are 3 ways to tell when a watermelon is ripe: 1) the tendril nearest the point on the vine where fruit stem attaches is browning/dead; 2) the spot where the fruit rests on the ground is yellow; and 3) the classic mystery — you hear "punk," as opposed to "pink" or "pank," when you flick the melon with your fingers.
STORAGE: Hold at 45°F (7°C) and 85% relative humidity 2–3 weeks.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From transplanting; add about 10 days if direct-seeded.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 1 oz./340', 1,000 seeds/500', 3 oz./1,000', 1⅓ lb./acre at 3 seeds every 18", in rows 6' apart.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 550 plants/oz.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: Avg. 9,700.
PACKET: See individual varieties.

Concern grows over 'driving drowsy'
There is growing concern regarding drowsy young people driving automobiles -- a significant problem among teens - especially now that our schools and colleges have begun classes for the new school year.
Indeed, overscheduled, overstressed, and overtired teens are a threat to themselves -- and others -- as they too often climb behind the wheel having had too little sleep. For example, 40 percent of teen drivers say they frequently drive while tired in the morning. Perhaps more significant, they report getting an average of only 7 hours of sleep on school nights.
And that can have costly outcomes.
According to the survey, young people who get less than eight hours of sleep per night on average are twice as likely to say they have fallen asleep at the wheel (20 percent) than are teens who report getting an average of eight or more hours of sleep per night (10 percent).
The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) says that the practice is an "under-reported and under-recognized public safety issue plaguing America's roadways," pointing out that it can be just as dangerous as impaired driving.
Drowsy driving causes more than 10,000 crashes each year, leading to 40,000 injuries and 1,550 deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Make no mistake about it, the combination of sleepiness, inexperience, and a tendency to drive at night and in the early morning hours puts young adults at risk for drowsy driving crashes.
Just as frightening are some of the strategies teens say they employ to try to stay awake.
*Playing loud music (45 percent)
*Talking on a cell phone (33 percent)
*Speeding (11 percent)
*Text messaging (11 percent)
What's a busy teen to do? Here are a couple of tips:
*Use the buddy system -- ask your passenger to stay awake during the drive, to help keep you awake, and to share the driving responsibilities.
*If sleepiness sets in while driving, prevent a crash by pulling over to find a safe place to take a nap.
Unfortunately, "early to bed, early to rise" doesn't synch well with suddenly nocturnal teens who are balancing late nights, early mornings, and jam-packed schedules. They want to do it all, but our job is to help them regulate competing demands in a way that keeps them safe behind the wheel.
After all, theirs, and other motorists lives depend on it.

DescriptionThe year is 2031 and the world is near the brink of economic collapse. To avoid this, the president comes up with a plan to stop the disaster - but before applying it, the long-term impacts on the world need to be validated. This is done with a simulation visited by the computer project PRISM, designed to be a true AI. The game starts when PRISM awakes from a simulation of his own, human life and is told that he is in fact the world's first sentient machine. At this point, the player takes control over PRISM.
A Mind Forever Voyaging is a text-based interactive fiction game. The player reads descriptions which detail the surroundings and communicates with the game by typing in commands. Most of the time is spent in simulation mode where the player repeatedly visits the town of Rockvil and needs to record situations of everyday or special activities going on. If the player has recorded enough, the game progresses and the simulation ten years ahead can be visited. However, the recording device has no unlimited capacity - when full, the player needs to exit the simulation and let the recordings review by the project leader. Then the current simulation can be simply started again from the start to find new situations - the same applies when dying.
Between simulations and toward the end there are situations outside the simulation, but overall the game is light on puzzle-solving and more about experiencing how said plan changes Rockvil and its people over time. Outside the simulation there are three more modes to enter: communications (switching to various video/audio units to examine other locations and people), library (various documents and other information to read) and interlace (communicating and giving orders to the own subsystems).

Fast Food CEO Shuts Down Struggling Branch During 'Undercover Boss' Episode
As Rick Silva's turn on "Undercover Boss" began this past Friday, he spent time singing the praises of his company's high standards. The CEO of the Checkers and Rally's fast-food burger chain demands "perfection," he said, and makes regular use of focus groups to test the chain's burgers.
But on his in-disguise visits to three restaurants, he heard an entirely different story: His company's infrastructure is lacking, and you can't hear orders on the speaker system at the drive-through. Buttons are mislabeled at preparation stations. And some of his floor managers have barely received any training.
But the real eye-opener came from working alongside three rank-and-file employees. The trio of crew members who found themselves training a man named "Alex Garcia" taught him what perfection is really about.
Take Todd, a member of the grill-and-fry station at a branch in Homestead, Fla. He needs his job not just for his livelihood but also for his mom's. And so he endures the abuse of the store manager, who threatens his employees with physical beatings to get them into line. But when questioned outside by a man whom he presumed to be a random contestant on a reality show -- Silva in disguise -- about the situation, Todd overcame any fear about standing out and stood up. The treatment makes him feel "worthless," he told Alex.
Joyce works as a late night manager in Carol City, Fla., and operates the restaurant as if it's a variety show. She hops around the floor singing and dancing, adding gobs of good cheer. "I sell hospitality," she told Alex. She also demonstrated her mischievous side during the episode. "He's a concrete block," is how she described Silva's efforts at tending the station.
But it's a tale of two Joyces, as we learn (during a chat with Alex) of her Dickensian struggles. In the span of six months, she lost both parents to alcohol-related issues, as well as a brother to AIDS. "I never, ever would have imagined you've overcome this much," Alex said to her. She's also in debt, we learn.
Johanna works on the sandwich board in Mobile, Ala., the birthplace of Checkers. And she showed herself to be the Cheryl Miller of the station. Like the former basketball stars, she has a killer combination of speed and accuracy. Later in the show, Silva tells her she was "smoking," but during his apprenticeship, he can't keep up with her. "Fast food ain't called slow food," she said in a confessional. It came as no surprise when Silva told the camera he was scared he might lose her to the competition.
Silva, for his part, took swift and direct action to rectify the problems. This, too, came as no surprise. When talking about his own background, we learned that Silva was a member of the Cuban generation that left the island nation after 1959's Fidel Castro-led revolution. After relocating to Florida, Silva said that he was a target of racism and called a "spic." But when the epithet was spray-painted on his home, he stood up to the bullies. He never was bothered again, he told us. And he took the incident as a code for life.
And so it's exactly in that spirit that he approached Stevens, the manager in Homestead who bullied Todd and threatened the other crew members. "He's barking orders," was how Silva described Stevens' conduct. Silva called him out for being disrespectful, and when Stevens challenged him over his own alleged lack of experience in fast food management, Silva couldn't help but identify himself as the company CEO.
"Do our advertisements say we serve lukewarm burgers?" he added as a dig.
Then Silva took the extraordinary measure of closing down the branch on the spot. He assured the workers that no jobs were going to be in jeopardy, a claim that would be a bit hard to believe were it not for the CBS cameras following him. But he nevertheless gave Stevens more chances to explain himself, and went on to learn that his manager was working without full training. "If the rest of my journey continues like this, all of our amazing results could be at risk," he observed.
Indeed, Silva's time on "Undercover Boss" was a true chance to see the chinks in the armor of a fast food empire that has 20,000 employees and more than 800 restaurants. Silva used the reveal to champion the trio of workers, but also make use of the insights he gleaned.
Johanna, who ran circles around him in Mobile, had also told him about a lack of incentives for crew members. She found this particularly frustrating, given the rewards program for managers whom, she noted, wouldn't be anything were it not for their workers. And so Silva announced a new program for all team members. And as for Johanna, he told her that he would be personally taking her on as a protege, as part of a new training program. She's also to be promoted, which will come with a 25 percent raise. And to boot, a $20,000 reward, which elicited a singular, heartwarming shriek.
Joyce will be getting a new speaker system, Silva notified her in her reveal. He also handed over $20,000 with the requirement that she spend half on herself. She responded by saying that she'll use the funds to buy an urn for her brother's ashes. And in her honor, a new council will be created at the company where employees can share ideas. Silva was particularly impressed by her suggestion that desserts be selected with regional interests in mind, as opposed to a blanket offering for all 30 states that the chains appear in.
Todd received $15,000 for expenses to help his mom, as well as the guarantee that all costs will be covered so that he can finish his culinary training. And Silva also confirmed to Todd that Stevens is being retrained, and he announced a new training program in which respect and values will receive greater emphasis.

Combined BA or BS in Economics/MPA
The combined BA or BS in economics/MPA program is a highly competitive program that allows you to finish your BA/BS in economics and simultaneously work on a master's in public administration. Students enroll in graduate courses during their senior year that simultaneously count toward both the BA or BS and the MPA degrees.
The Advantages
Admission to the graduate school occurs during your junior year, without the need to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). As a result of beginning graduate courses during your undergraduate program, you will complete the master's degree more quickly. The combined program should allow you to finish the master's degree in about one-and-a-half years after completing the bachelor's degree.
The combined program results in significant monetary savings. First, you can take up to 12 credits of graduate courses at the undergraduate tuition rate. Second, by finishing a semester early you will save a full semester of tuition and fees. This can potentially translate into a savings of almost $6,500 for those who have established in-state residency.
Why a Master's in Public Administration?
An MPA will help you develop a wide range of job possibilities. Our graduates are prepared for careers in nonprofit organizations, federal, state, and local governments, and for-profit organizations that coordinate with the public sector.
The University's MPA program is nationally ranked. It provides excellent training in public administration in a variety of specialized fields. Concentrations include Public Management, Public Finance, Nonprofit Management, Health Policy, Homeland Security, Policy Analysis, Information Strategy and Management, and Local Government Management. Further, students in our program can take advantage of our strategic location in Albany to participate in an internship in a nonprofit organization, government agency, or legislative office.
Program Requirements
Requirements for the combined program are straightforward. First, you must meet all the regular requirements for the BA or BS in economics. Second, you can take up to twelve graduate credits during your senior year that can be applied to the 36 credits needed for the BA in economics or to the 41 credits needed for the BS in economics as well as the courses required for the MPA. Finally, you must meet all of the requirements for the MPA.
Combined Program Admission
The dual BA or BS/MPA programs are highly competitive. In order for your application to be reviewed, you must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher, have completed 56 total credits hours toward your BA or BS, and have received a grade of B or higher in two quantitative courses.* The best time to apply is during your junior year. The department only accepts BA or BS/MPA applications for fall admission. The application deadline is June 15th, at which point all applications are reviewed. An interview may be required.*
*Meeting the above requirements is not a guarantee of acceptance into the program. The program is highly competitive and selective. As a result, the minimum level of qualifications of admitted students are likely to be higher than what is required to apply.

Precious days with Buddy
Near my feet as I write, our family golden retriever, Buddy, is on his side in deep sleep, his legs and paws wiggling, with occasional whimpers and mini barks, and I wonder where he is running in his dream world. A fresh 10-inch scar runs down the center of his abdomen.
Over the years, he has hiked thousands of miles, swum in lakes and rivers, camped and backpacked, fished and hunted and ridden in cars, trucks, a boat and an airplane. With my son, Kris, Buddy has lived the life of the outdoors, and like us, he's always had something to look forward to.
Now we just want him to live another day.
This past week, after we had visited a series of vets with few answers, a small-town vet helped Buddy elude the final trip to that big bone in the sky.
As he convalesces as a short-timer on this planet, his presence at my feet is a reminder that there is nothing like man's best friend. There are some other lessons as well.
We got Buddy when he was 6 weeks old and weighed 7 pounds. From the start, he was a friendly rapscallion with a screw loose, which led him to develop some strange inclinations, like putting a paw on the heads of other dogs.
Ol' Bud hiked with me everywhere, camped in wilderness. He knew that when I put my boots on, something good was ahead. On the trail, he wouldn't leave my side on a hike and run off, ever. Even when he hit 10, vets were amazed at how strong his heart and lungs were and, at 90 pounds, by the rock-hard muscles in his chest and shoulders.
At parks, people liked him. On the trail, people we met would often say, "Hi, Buddy," because he looked like a "buddy' and would greet everyone with a smile. That morphed to Bud, the Budster, Budvig van Toven and Ol' Bud.
Anybody who loves the outdoors knows how a dog can bring a trip to life. For those whose dogs are a part of the family, you've learned that when you love a dog, your heart stretches to make room for that love.
But when the dog is gone, your heart never goes back to its original size. That's why the hole you feel in your chest hurts like nothing else in the world.
Seven weeks ago, we lost Pooch, Buddy's best friend, a McNabb-cross mutt with a heart of gold, whom we rescued 13 years ago. The heart and mind were willing, the body not so much. It was devastating, but it was his time, and we did the right thing.
Then I noticed a few hard lumps on Buddy's chest, so right off, I drove him to a top vet clinic and had him checked out. "No problem," said the vet. "He's in great shape."
The next week, we heard him panting and took him to a different vet, also with excellent credentials. "He's fine," the vet said, "heart, lungs, great shape. Blood tests show thyroid a little low, but no cause for concern. Let's check back in two months."
The Budster and I then took three trips in four days, from parks in the foothills to the Sierra crest, hiked 15 miles, and as always, he reveled in every step. The next week, I returned from a dogless expedition, and noticed that Ol' Bud seemed lethargic. We were off to a third vet for another opinion.
An ultrasound found a tumor on his spleen. The next day, he was in emergency surgery. The vet then found additional cancer spots on his liver and asked if we wanted him euthanized. The news felt like getting hit with a sledgehammer.
She sewed him up so we could treat him like a king and have time to say goodbye. It could be only a week, we were told.
Three nights later, it seemed the time had arrived. A trip to a 24-hour dog hospital emergency room, to our surprise, revealed nothing wrong, they said.
In a long shot, my wife, Stephani, drove Buddy hundreds of miles north to Mount Shasta. That is home for the best vets I've seen in my travels across California, a husband-wife team, Tom Sampson and Maureen Baker.
Sampson operated immediately. He found a massive abdominal infection and pneumonia, removed the spleen and tumor and took biopsies.
Because of the infection, Ol' Bud was hour-to-hour for the first night, but he survived, maybe from being so strong from all the hikes. In four days, he was back in my arms, full of energy, happy, like he wanted to take on the Pacific Crest Trail. Now he's sleeping at my feet, chasing his dreams. As the week ended, he's been camped out on my hiking boots, waiting for the next trip.
The biopsies came back positive for hemangiosarcoma, but he's on a new metronomic chemo regime that could extend his life. We're hoping for six months, but regardless, like my dad said, "Every day is a gift."
In the coming time, I am thankful I have the chance to treasure Buddy, shower him with affection, feed him bonus dinners in his new "cancer diet" - high protein, low carbs - and take short walks and the occasional drives.
I've learned something: Never save love for a rainy day. The chance you're waiting for may never come again.

CAVALCANTE FILHO, João Batista; VASCONCELOS, Elisângela Maria da Silva; CECCIM, Ricardo Burg y GOMES, Luciano Bezerra. Collective welcoming: a challenge instigating new ways of producing care. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1414-3283.
Within the challenge of implementing a form of welcome in which the team of healthcare workers would be made comprehensive, and would be thus in relation to users, a team of professionals from the family health program has proposed collective welcoming. This is a meeting space between workers and users that is focused on their health needs. Within this creative space, active work becomes stronger in relation to normative acts and, through communicative acts, transforms tension into understandings. There is a search for a metastable balance in which work is reconstituted in the light of each new challenge, thereby building relationships of greater solidity and providing learning for new ways of producing care.

Court records show Joe Jackson doesn't plan to help raise Michael Jackson's children.
The Jackson family patriarch lives in Las Vegas and wrote in a statement filed in a Los Angeles court Monday that he only occasionally visits the family home north of Los Angeles. His two-page declaration expresses support for his wife, Katherine, who on Monday was granted permanent custody of Michael Jackson's three children.
Joe Jackson writes that his wife is "a wonderful caretaker and guardian."
A judge on Monday awarded Katherine Jackson a monthly stipend to help upkeep the family's home, where her three grandchildren are staying.

Popular culture
Popular culture (often short pop culture) is the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes,[1] images, and other phenomena that are within the mainstream of a given culture, especially Western culture of the early to mid 20th century and the emerging global mainstream of the late 20th and early 21st century. Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.
Popular culture is often viewed as being trivial and "dumbed down" in order to find consensual acceptance throughout the mainstream. As a result, it comes under heavy criticism from various non-mainstream sources (most notably religious groups and countercultural groups) which deem it superficial, consumerist, sensationalist, and/or corrupted.[2][3][4][5][6]

History and definitions
The term "popular culture" was coined in the 19th century or earlier.[7] Traditionally, the term has denoted the education and general "culturedness" of the lower classes,[8] as opposed to the "official culture" and higher or the education emanated by the dominant classes.[9][10]
The stress in the distinction from "official culture" became more pronounced towards the end of the 19th century,[11] a usage that became established by the interbellum period.[12]
From the end of World War II, following major cultural and social changes brought by mass media innovations, the meaning of popular culture began to overlap with those of mass culture, media culture, image culture, consumer culture, and culture for mass consumption.[13] Social and cultural changes in the United States were a pioneer in this with respect to other western countries.
The abbreviated form "pop" for popular, as in pop music, dates from the late 1950s.[14] Although terms "pop" and "popular" are in some cases used interchangeably, and their meaning partially overlap, the term "pop" is narrower. Pop is specific of something containing qualities of mass appeal, while "popular" refers to what has gained popularity, regardless of its style.[15][16]
According to John Storey, there are six definitions of popular culture.[17] The quantitative definition of culture has the problem that much "high culture" (e.g., television dramatizations of Jane Austen) is also "popular". "Pop culture" is also defined as the culture that is "left over" when we have decided what high culture is. However, many works straddle the boundaries, e.g., Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
A third definition equates pop culture with "mass culture" and ideas. This is seen as a commercial culture, mass-produced for mass consumption by mass media.[18] From a Western European perspective, this may be compared to American culture. Alternatively, "pop culture" can be defined as an "authentic" culture of the people, but this can be problematic because there are many ways of defining the "people". Storey argued that there is a political dimension to popular culture; neo-Gramscian hegemony theory "... sees popular culture as a site of struggle between the 'resistance' of subordinate groups in society and the forces of 'incorporation' operating in the interests of dominant groups in society." A postmodernist approach to popular culture would "no longer recognize the distinction between high and popular culture".
Storey claims that popular culture emerges from the urbanization of the Industrial Revolution. Studies of Shakespeare (by Weimann, Barber or Bristol, for example) locate much of the characteristic vitality of his drama in its participation in Renaissance popular culture, while contemporary practitioners like Dario Fo and John McGrath use popular culture in its Gramscian sense that includes ancient folk traditions (the commedia dell'arte for example).[19][20]
Popular culture changes constantly and occurs uniquely in place and time. It forms currents and eddies, and represents a complex of mutually interdependent perspectives and values that influence society and its institutions in various ways. For example, certain currents of pop culture may originate from, (or diverge into) a subculture, representing perspectives with which the mainstream popular culture has only limited familiarity. Items of popular culture most typically appeal to a broad spectrum of the public. Important contemporary contributions for understanding what popular culture means have been given by the German researcher Ronald Daus, who studies the impact of extra-European cultures in North America, Asia and especially in Latin America.
Adaptations based on traditional folklore provide a source of popular culture.[21] This early layer of cultural mainstream still persists today, in a form separate from mass-produced popular culture, propagating by word of mouth rather than via mass media, e.g. in the form of jokes or urban legend. With the widespread use of the Internet from the 1990s, the distinction between mass media and word-of-mouth has become blurred.
Although the folkloric element of popular culture engages heavily with the commercial element, the public has its own tastes and it may not embrace every cultural item sold. Moreover, beliefs and opinions about the products of commercial culture spread by word-of-mouth, and become modified in the process in the same manner that folklore evolves.
In popular culture
Owing to the pervasive and increasingly interconnected nature of popular culture, especially its intermingling of complementary distribution sources, some cultural anthropologists, literary, and cultural critics have identified a large amount of intertextuality in popular culture's portrayals of itself. One commentator has suggested this self-referentiality reflects the advancing encroachment of popular culture into every realm of collective experience. "Instead of referring to the real world, much media output devotes itself to referring to other images, other narratives; self-referentiality is all-embracing, although it is rarely taken account of."[22] Furthermore, the commentary on the intertextuality and its self-referential nature has itself become the subject of self-referential and recursive commentary.
Many cultural critics have dismissed this as merely a symptom or side-effect of mass consumerism; however, alternate explanations and critique have also been offered. One critic asserts that it reflects a fundamental paradox: the increase in technological and cultural sophistication, combined with an increase in superficiality and dehumanization.[23]
The long-running animated television series The Simpsons routinely alludes to mainstream media properties, as well as the commercial content of the show itself. In the episode "Bart vs. Thanksgiving", Bart complains about the crass commercialism of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while watching television. When he turns his head away from the television, the screen shows an oversized inflatable balloon of Bart Simpson floating past.
According to television studies scholars specializing in quality television, such as Kristin Thompson, self-referentiality in mainstream American television (especially comedy) reflects and exemplifies the type of progression characterized previously. Thompson[24] argues shows such as The Simpsons use a "...flurry of cultural references, intentionally inconsistent characterization, and considerable self-reflexivity about television conventions and the status of the programme as a television show."[25] Extreme examples approach a kind of thematic infinite regress wherein distinctions between art and life, commerce and critique, ridicule and homage become intractably blurred.[23]

The highest water in 14 years has forced Marion Reservoir to close 77 campsites.
The entire Cottonwood Point North campground, with 46 campsites, was closed after floodwaters washed out a culvert on a road to the campground. Another 15 campsites at Cottonwood Point and 16 at Hillsboro Cove were closed because they were entirely or partially underwater because of high water in the reservoir.
Heavy rains have filled nearly half of Marion Reservoir's emergency floodwater capacity.
Swelled even after the campgrounds closed by 1.75 inches of rain Friday and 1.79 inches Monday morning, the reservoir stood at 4.27 feet into its 8-foot flood pool at 7 p.m. Monday. It has been this full only twice in the past two decades, most recently 14 years ago.
- April 11, 1995 — when it peaked at 5.58 feet into its flood pool.
- Sept. 9, 1998 — 5.07 feet into flood pool.
At its current level, the flood pool is capable of holding 3.01 inches of additional rainfall — considerably less than what has fallen since Friday — across the reservoir's 200-square-mile drainage area.
The reservoir was at its lowest level in 20 years this past Dec. 14, when it was 3.61 feet below the start of its flood pool. Since Dec. 14, the reservoir has risen 7.88 feet, according to analysis of Corps of Engineers data. In sheer volume, it has gone from holding 58,977 acre-feet of water (19.2 million gallons) then to 110,587 acre-feet (36.0 million gallons) now — virtually doubling in size.
According to park ranger Neal Whitaker, who worked at the reservoir at the time, the highest on record was in July 1993, when the reservoir's flood pool filled. The lowest occurred 10 months before, when it was 16 feet lower.

Sorry I have not updated in so long! I was hoping that my next update would be pictures of our newly renovated powder room that we worked on all last week, but alas, we were side tracked and the reno is currently about 85% done. We have 2 full bathrooms and one powder room at our house, but during the inspection before we purchased it we discovered that the guest bathroom upstairs had a leaky toilet that needed a new seal so once we took possesion our first order of business was to just shut off the valve in there and consider that bathroom a write off until we could renovate it. Then we demolished our hideous powder room and have been delayed in putting it back together due to Wren's early arrival. So we have been living the last month on our lone toilet in the master bath.
Fast forward to Saturday morning when I go downstairs and walk right into our indoor waterfall, oops, I mean kitchen. Some time during the night our master toilet (aka, ONLY toilet) cracked and leaked for hours down into the kitchen. Water was literally spewing from the light fixtures (sounds safe huh?). To sum this story up, don't put all your eggs in one toilet.
Anyways, as of today we now have 3 functioning toilets, which is a record in this house. And I can't wait to share pictures of our new powder room once we install a new light fixture and pick out a faucet.
On to more fun topics: shopping!
Today Wren and I went on our first Mall excursion. I was desperate for some post baby clothes and even though I have recently snagged some awesome pieces online, nothing really beats strolling the mall for the afternoon and I definitely could use some new stuff after wearing the same clothes for the last 4 or 5 months of my pregnancy.

Web Analytics Privacy in Matomo
When using Matomo, YOU keep control of your data.
Matomo (Piwik) ensures the privacy of your users and analytics data. When using Matomo, YOU keep control of your data. Your data is stored in your own MySQL database, and logs or report data will never be sent to other servers by Matomo.
In March 2011, the Independent Center for Privacy Protection in Germany (ULD) recommended Matomo (Piwik) as privacy-compliant web analytics software.
In January 2014, the Center for Data Privacy Protection in France (CNIL) recommended Matomo (Piwik) as the only tool that can easily ensure full compliance with privacy regulations. In July 2014 the French CNIL recommends Matomo: the only analytics tool that does not require Cookie Consent.
Matomo (Piwik) privacy compliance is also reflected by the many government agencies who already trust and rely on Matomo (in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa) for providing self-hosted web analytics.
How to setup privacy settings in Matomo Analytics (formerly Piwik Analytics)?
Privacy Applied to Web Analytics Logs: a Philosophical Choice?
Privacy on the Internet is a major concern for many users, webmasters and companies today. We spend so much time online that access to our Internet activity logs (websites, pages visited, internet searches) can reveal a lot of personal information about ourselves, our life, and work.
Read our blog post on Data Privacy Day to learn more about why Privacy is important.
When you use a web analytics tool such as Google Universal Analytics, your web analytics data is tracked, stored and owned by the company providing you with the free analytics service. While they provide an excellent service for free, they also re-use the visits log data tracked on your website to enrich existing profiles for a given user or IP address.
Here are just a few examples of how websites can gather your personal information while you are away from the website:
If you use Google Analytics on your website, Google would not only know all of the IP addresses (and other browser unique identifiers) of visitors to your website (and which pages they looked at on your site), but because most other websites use GA as well (or another Google product), Google would also, for example, know the 6 other websites that person visited earlier that day and the 367 websites he looked at in the last month. Because more than 60% of all websites on the Internet use GA , Google Adsense or another Google product using tracking beacons – "Only 36.5% of the web is Google-free" – Google is able to build a very accurate picture of most websites visited by any given user.
Facebook Social widgets are used on already more than 19% of all websites & blogs (source w3techs). When you visit a website with a Facebook Like button (or any other FB functionality) your browser will send data (and your IP address) to Facebook. Recently it was made public that Facebook creates shadow profiles of logged out users. This means that even if you are logged out or not a Facebook member, they still keep track of the websites and articles your IP address (and other browser unique identifiers) was looking at.
Why is this profiling for marketing purposes considered a "problem" for some Matomo users?
Privacy is becoming increasingly important to us as we spend more of our lives 'connected' on the internet. While Google is providing a multitude of amazing services for free – for which we are very thankful – we are at the same time concerned about where and how our private information is being used. Websites like Google (and increasingly Facebook) are able to build an enormous profile of all websites and pages looked at by most (nearly all) Internet users worldwide (even if they are not Google or Facebook users).
One of their main goals is to improve the re-marketing of Google Ads and Facebook Ads to Internet users and find the right advertising segments for the right ad. But many Internet users and website operators are growing concerned about what could be termed a Global Internet User Activity Database and its moral implications. You don't need to be a Privacy Junkie to be interested in the challenges and moral implications of gathering so much data on the Internet. We choose not to discuss the details here but recommend you check out the Privacy section of the EFF website to learn more.
