From the Editor
By Carol Berkin
From Virgil to Shakespeare to Walt Whitman, poets have often turned to historical subjects for their topic, preserving historical events and figures in verse. This poetry, in turn, becomes the subject of historical inquiry as scholars explore the context in which the poet lived and the issues of her or his day that resonated with the poet's choice of a subject from the past. Thus in studying poetry, students can be asked both to examine the poet's perception of the past and to consider the poet's own historical moment in time. Because April is Poetry Month, it is fitting for this issue of History Now to focus on American poets.
We asked four historians to look at poetry written across the centuries of American history. In Charlotte Gordon's essay, "'If Ever Two Were One': Anne Bradstreet's 'To My Dear and Loving Husband,'" we enter the world of seventeenth-century colonial America and the Puritan society established in New England. Gordon's analysis of this tender love poem begins with a look at Bradstreet's own personal experience as a colonist. She then shows us how this poem shatters stereotypical notions of Puritans as dour, emotionally stifled women and men. And finally, she helps us appreciate how Bradstreet's poetry also stands as evidence that women of talent and intelligence emerge in every century.
In "A Poem Links Unlikely Allies in 1775: Phillis Wheatley and George Washington," James Basker reminds us of the rising hopes the struggle for independence stirred in black as well as white Americans. Wheatley was a slave, brought to America as a child, and her precocious talents were fortunately recognized and encouraged by the Massachusetts family who owned and later freed her. In 1775, Wheatley demonstrated her patriotism in a poem dedicated to George Washington, the newly appointed commander of the revolutionary forces. In it, she asserted her admiration for Washington—and a certainty that the American cause was just and would be triumphant. Washington expressed his appreciation in a letter to Wheatley and arranged for the poem to be published in a Virginia newspaper. Basker suggests that the impact of the poem on Washington was great, altering his views of slavery.
Julie Des Jardins examines "The New Colossus," a poem written by Emma Lazarus. Lazarus's stirring declaration that America opened its arms to the tired, poor, and "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" was destined to become the first words of welcome to immigrants who sailed past the Statue of Liberty, where they are engraved. Des Jardins's essay provides information about immigration and about Emma Lazarus, who died before Ellis Island was established as the entry point for almost twelve million women, men, and children.
Finally, Steven Tracy reminds us that poets, like historians, are influenced by, and build upon, themes introduced by the writers who come before them. In "'I, Too': Langston Hughes's Afro-Whitmanian Affirmation," Tracy shows how the democratic and egalitarian impulse present in Walt Whitman's poetry is brought to life once again in the poetry of a brilliant African American, Langston Hughes. As Tracy points out, Whitman was part of a nineteenth-century explosion of nationalism that was reflected in the music, art, literature, and poetry of the era; Hughes was part of an equally important emergence of African Americans as shapers of culture and art in the twentieth century.
As our interactive feature for this issue, we offer audio recordings of two poems by American writers. And our master teachers have provided a lesson plan on another popular American poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere: Literature v. History."
Let me wish you all a happy Spring,
Carol Berkin

Important Items...[edit]
Revenge Note, Van Graff Package.
Are you familiar with the Van Graffs? This crew can be found at Freeside, which is essentially the suburban area surrounding the New Vegas Strip. These guys have set up shop at a specific location in Freeside, a placed called the Silver Rush. If you've never been there before, you'll have to head there and be friendly with the Van Graffs to undertake and ultimately complete this somewhat-time consuming side quest. For starters, once outside, speak to the guard. Even though you may be hesitant to do so, hand over your weapons at the door. If you don't, you'll cause animosity with the Van Graffs right off the bat, which will force you into failure for this side quest. So definitely follow our instructions here. Then, once inside (if this is your first time here), stay put as the Van Graffs argue with a man who they end up pulverizing into smithereens. Now, you've got a bit of an idea of how the Van Graffs take care of their business.
Notice all of those weapons, explosives and everything else littering the storefront's various shelves and tables? The Van Graffs are weapons and equipment dealers in direct competition with the Gun Runners, located on Freeside's periphery. When you speak to their leader, a woman named Gloria Van Graff, you can learn about all sorts of things. She's pretty open about a lot of topics, so feel free to pick her brain about whatever you'd like. Ultimately, though, you should ask her about some freelance employment opportunities with her company, and she'll agree to take you on, and give you your very first assignment. You know the guy at the door who took your weapons when you came in? Well now, you'll be accompanying him at his post and helping him out a little bit.
Once outside, you'll be intercepted by the guard (Simon) who took your weapons earlier. He'll show you the ropes. You'll have to be outfitted with Van Graff weaponry and armor, but it should be adequate for this task, so no worries on that front (hell, if you're doing this early enough, that gear is probably stronger than what you currently have, though you won't get to keep it). You'll then get to stand guard, waiting for five separate visitors to come to the door. They should come in a certain order. The first man is a Drunk -- don't allow him admittance to the facility. The next two men are Gamblers. You can let them both in, but be sure to search them both for weapons first, even if they resist. The third man is a Gambler, but he's also a fraud. When you go to search him, he'll pull a weapon, so put a bullet in his head, and be sure to grab the Revenge Note off of his body thereafter. And finally, when the Kings' representative Pacer shows up (who you may know from another Side Quest ), chances are that will end in hostility as well.
Two dead isn't as big of a deal as you might think, however. With those five men dealt with in the ways described above, your task is done. You can now speak with Gloria back inside, who will commend you on a job well done. However, she's found a replacement for you at the front door with more experience (there's nothing you can do to avert this). Thankfully, she still has more work for you to undertake. There's a lucrative deal in the works between the Van Graffs and a wealthy buyer. However, this prospective buyer wants some samples first. That's where you come in. Gloria will hand over the Van Graff Package and ask you to deliver it to the man in question. Easy enough.
The man in question, for whatever strange reason, is standing in the middle of nowhere, in a location east of the New Vegas Strip and Freeside. This particular area will be marked on your map, and you can head over there posthaste. If you want an easier time getting over there, though, consider teleporting to a location nearby. Durable Dunn's Wrecked Caravan is probably the best place to quick-travel to. Either way, when you arrive, you'll find a shady-looking man known simply as the Strange Man, who you can hand over the package to. Listen to what he has to say, and then report your findings back to Gloria at the Silver Rush. Not surprisingly, she'll have another task for you to undertake, though she'll direct you to a person named Jean-Baptiste to learn more about this new job.
Jean-Baptiste should be standing directly in front of the equipment-laden table Gloria has been manning. When you speak to him, you'll find someone a little less kind (okay... a lot less kind) than Gloria was, and someone who is much colder, too. Jean-Baptiste doesn't agree with Gloria's assessment of you. Having done what's been asked of you so far, Jean-Baptiste promises that he has quite the job for you, but one that won't be so easy for you to complete. He wants you to go pick up someone named Cass for him, and bring her back to meet with him. There's no ifs, ands or buts about this one. Now, you should keep in mind something that's very important. The Cass he's talking about is none other than the Cass that you may have met already as one of your followers. And bringing her here and handing her over to Jean-Baptiste will result in her death... at least if you want to complete this side quest.
If you have no problem with that, then bring Cass back to the Van Graff facility at the Silver Rush, hand her over to Jean-Baptiste, and watch her get disintegrated before your very eyes. If you don't have Cass yet, however, you'll need to go find her. She's always at the Mojave Outpost, which is an NCR-controlled facility at the far southwestern edge of the Mojave Wasteland. You'll need to go through some Side Quest motions to get her to join up with you if you haven't already. If you've already done so, however, simply bring her along with you back to the Van Graffs. Then, speak with Jean-Baptiste. If you choose to protect Cass, that's fine, but it will turn you permanently hostile with the Van Graffs, and this side quest won't be completed. So you'll have to be resigned to the fact that Cass is going to be killed if you want to see this side quest through to the end.
With your task completed for Jean-Baptiste, you'll have to revert back to dealing with Gloria for your fourth and final task on behalf of the Van Graff family. This last task is actually rather simple, though once again, you should know what you're getting into before you actually get into it. By speaking to Gloria, you'll learn that the Van Graffs have a big weapons deal going down, one that's associated with the package you delivered earlier. If you agree to help her on this deal, you'll be whisked away to an unknown warehouse location where the deal is supposed to go down. But here's the thing. The deal is with the Legion, but you're about to betray the Legion by shooting them all up at this location, thus siding with the NCR. If you're already associated with the NCR, then this is good for you, since it will earn you more fame from them. But if you're associated with the Legion or trying to earn their good will, this will damage that. So keep that in mind.
If you can accept all of that, then agree to go along with Gloria. Once whisked away to this secret warehouse, Gloria will simply tell you to "follow her lead" moving forward. That "lead" refers to the fact that she and her friends are about to pull guns on the Legion and gun them all down. Get involved in the fierce firefight that ensues, and put down the living Legion members who will disperse around the warehouse in an attempt to dig-in and fight back. Once they're all slain, you can then speak with Gloria once more. Once back at the Silver Rush (which will happen automatically), she'll openly explain just what happened back there. She'll then pay you and tell you there's no more work for you for the time being, though that might change in the future. And just like that, this side quest finally meets its conclusion.

As of 3/24/20, all campgrounds and lodging are closed Friday, March 27, through Thursday, April 30. This includes campgrounds, park-run lodging and concessionaire-run lodging. All fees associated with camping and park-run lodging reservations, including reservation, cancellation and modification fees, beginning the night of Friday, March 27, through the night of Thursday, April 30, will be refunded.
We are proud to be a member of the Missouri Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. While our campgrounds are not currently open, the association is a great resource for finding other campgrounds during this time. Visit www.campinmissouri.com to find a campground near you.
The smell of dinner on the grill, the anticipation of s'mores around the campfire and the sound of laughing kids splashing in a stream are all memories of that favorite camping trip in a Missouri state park campground. Missouri State Parks makes it easy to plan and enjoy that memorable camping trip whether you are in a tent or an 80-foot camping trailer.
Forty-one state parks and historic sites offer more than 3,600 campsites that range from secluded walk-in sites to sites with hookups for water, sewer and electrical service. Campgrounds are close to the action yet far enough away for you to enjoy the great outdoors. Campgrounds offer amenities such as hot showers, laundry facilities and dump stations and some even provide free Wi-Fi connections.
There are two ways to camp in Missouri state parks. Most campgrounds offer first-come, first-served campsites or you can reserve a site in advance by taking advantage of the centralized reservation system.
Missouri state parks provide the ideal setting. It's up to you to create the memories of that perfect camping trip.
Many parks contain rules and policies that are specific to the individual park and its resources. Please call the individual park to inquire of specific rules and, upon your arrival, check the park's bulletin boards for additional rules.
Electric hook-ups are available year-round at most state parks, while water and showers are usually available in the on-season, which is typically from April 1 through Oct. 31. At Roaring River, Bennett Spring and Montauk state parks, the on-season begins Feb. 25. Some northern parks begin on-season operation on April 15. The on-season for Table Rock State Park runs from March through November.
A two-night minimum stay on the weekend (Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday) is required at most state parks for reservations. Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park.
Leave No Trace is a national education program that teaches outdoor enthusiasts how to protect the places they love, like Missouri state parks and historic sites, from human-caused recreational impacts. Missouri State Parks has adopted the program's seven principles, which are:
(1) plan ahead and prepare;
(2) travel and camp on durable surfaces;
(3) dispose of waste properly;
(4) leave what you find;
(5) minimize campfire impacts;
(6) respect wildlife;
(7) be considerate of other visitors.
Please practice these principles during your camping stay.
Enjoying Missouri State Parks with Your Pet
Responsible pet owners and their pets are welcome in Missouri state parks. As a courtesy to other visitors, it is recommended you bring no more than two dogs per campsite. This also helps reduce the impact on the natural resources and aids with noise control. By following current pet rules, a positive impression will be left for all pet owners and will ensure that this privilege continues.
Senior and Disabled Citizens and Retired, Veteran and Active Duty Military
Citizens who are 65 years of age or older, persons with disabilities and Military (retired, veteran and active duty military personnel) are entitled to a reduced camping rate. An official document certifying proof of age, disability or proper military status must be presented upon check-in. Please visit the Camping Rates page for additional information on discounts.
Camper Award
Have you or your family camped in five different state parks or historic sites this year? If so, you may be eligible for a camper award. Camper verification cards are available at all state parks and historic sites. Ask park staff to indicate on the card that you stayed at their facility. (Remember to obey all the rules and regulations.)
Once you have five state parks or historic sites on your card, mail it in. Once the card is received, you'll be awarded a certificate as well as a patch. It's that simple!

About FERC Strategic Documents
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) to develop and maintain strategic goals, to link work and resources to performance, and to monitor and report on the results to Congress and the public at large. On January 4, 2011, the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 was signed into law. The Act modernizes the federal governments performance management framework, retaining and amplifying some aspects of GPRA while also addressing some of its weaknesses. The GPRA Modernization Act serves as a foundation for helping agencies to focus on their highest priorities and creating a culture where data and empirical evidence plays a greater role in policy, budget, and management decisions. The purposes of the GPRA Modernization Act are to:
- Modernize and refine the requirements established by GPRA in order to produce more frequent, relevant data which can then inform decision makers and agency operations;
- Codify and strengthen existing resources for performance management, including the Chief Operating Officer (COO), Performance Improvement Officers (PIOs) within the federal agencies and the interagency Performance Improvement Council (PIC);
- Apply the latest technologies and lessons learned from nearly two decades of GPRA implementation;
- Lead to more effective management of government agencies at a reduced cost.
The Performance Management Framework encompasses the Commission's performance management and measurement system and is illustrated by the following.

text: About next week's featured Fresh Thoughts chef, Chris Becker of Fleet Street Kitchen A Baltimore native and veteran of several of the city's most highly regarded restaurants, Chef Chris maintains deep relationships with local farmers, foragers, and fishermen. His contemporary American cuisine at Fleet Street Kitchen is defined in conjunction with the seasonal produce of Cunningham Farms, the restaurant owner's farm in Cockeysville. A graduate of the Baltimore Culinary Institute, Chef Chris spent time in the kitchens at The Brass Elephant, Linwoods, and The Wine Market in Locust Point. He was noted as one of the top "Chefs to Watch" by Baltimore Magazine and identified as one of "Ten Professionals Under 30 to Watch" by the b newspaper. At Fleet Street Kitchen, Chef Chris combines both traditional and modern techniques, creating elegant dishes that reflect his intense devotion to his craft. Can't wait for next week's dinner? We chatted with Chris about how sustainable seafood is changing the culinary scene throughout the mid-Atlantic region: What's your favorite sustainable seafood ingredient to prepare? Because I'm new to Maryland seafood, I'm really excited to start using soft-shell crab, which is one of Maryland's local sustainable seafood products. It's a really interesting ingredient and very versatile in the way it can be presented, so I'm sure you'll see it on the menu at Fleet Street Kitchen soon. How is sustainable seafood playing a role in Baltimore's dining scene? I think more and more chefs are becoming conscientious about sustainable seafood and this in change is influencing our guests to think about it as well. Because we're by the Chesapeake Bay, I think it's easier for people to make the connection between how we fish and the seafood we serve. People are definitely appreciating it more. At Fleet Street Kitchen, we make sure all of our seafood choices are based off the Seafood Watch list and only select the seafood listed as "Good" or "Good Alternative." What's your biggest challenge when it comes to cooking sustainably? All the great product that's not sustainable makes it difficult. There's some great tasting seafood that is overfished. We recently had to stop using monkfish, because it is now in the red on the Seafood Watch List. It's unfortunate, but it it makes me more creative and exposes people to different types of fish that perhaps they wouldn't necessarily try. What is one sustainable seafood ingredient you hope to see more of in restaurants (including your own) this year? Lionfish & Snakehead. Both are invasive species that are threatening key ecosystems. Lionfish are damaging coral reef ecosystems across the oceans and are actually a great tasting fish. It'd be great to see more of it on Baltimore menus. Snakehead are doing the same here in the Chesapeake Bay. There has been a lot of great press about using snakehead in restaurants. I'm definitely hoping to use both at Fleet Street Kitchen. If everyone could walk away from our Fresh Thoughts dinner knowing one thing, it would be … My hope is to pass along Fleet Street Kitchen's passion for sustainable seafood and for people to make the connection between the way seafood is harvested and what is on their plate. It's also important for people to know that they can ask if a fish is sustainable in a restaurant. This lets a restaurant's chef and staff know that there's a demand for conscientious ingredients. Most restaurants will appreciate this, even if they aren't currently serving sustainable products. Learn more about our sustainable seafood program and other conservation initiatives.

They have been several stories here about the fate of the MQ hull, with most saying that it was scrapped with the rest of the boat or that it disappeared in the middle of the night.
I happened to be talking to 2 different knowledgeable people that run the N.O. area last week and both claim that the hull lives on and is a stationary barge in the area, and that both have seen it recently.
Does anyone else have any news on the hull?

People with Irish Bank Resolution Corporation mortgages are raising concerns that they could lose out on consumer protection when their loans are sold.
Liquidators KPMG are selling 13,250 loans originally issued by Irish Nationwide.
Half of the mortgages are in arrears.
If the loans are bought by an unregulated fund, the purchaser will not have to comply with the Central Bank's code of conduct on mortgage arrears.
In a statement the Department of Finance said the continuing applicability of the code will depend on who buys the portfolio of loans.
"The outcome of the sales process will determine if a solution is required. For example, in the event that Nama acquires the loan books, Nama is likely to apply best practice in this regard and no borrower will in any worse position."
The department said it has been instructed by the minister to examine the issue with the Central Bank, "with a view to bringing forward a solution."
In a letter seen by RTÉ's Prime Time, the Central Bank told the department and liquidators it wanted any sale to result in "a continuity of borrower protections" under statutory codes.
It said it wanted any purchaser to have "policies, procedures, systems and control checks to appropriately" manage the mortgages.
It said this is "particularly relevant" for borrowers in arrears.
However, the liquidators said in a statement that the code was "voluntary and are not legally binding".
However, they added that buyers of the mortgage portfolios would have to honour "legal agreements" with borrowers.

Project ReCycle able to expand in new space
Posted: Friday, June 21, 2013 9:00 am | Updated: 9:12 am, Fri Jun 21, 2013.
Deborah Grigsby email@example.com |0 comments
As Alberto Stapleton walks across the floor of an empty warehouse, his tall, sturdy frame seems to disappear in the vast space."This is a long ways from the eight storage units we used to have to work out of in Littleton," said Stapleton. He serves as executive director of Project Recycle, a charity organization founded in 2008 that repairs donated bicycles and puts them in the hands of those less fortunate.Stapleton said the space, donated by the private developer who owns the building, has added momentum and reach to the group's mission.
"We were actually surprised when we pulled all the bikes out of storage and set them up," he said. "We had no idea how many we had because they were all stuffed into these public storage units, but now, we see how much more we have to give."
The group moved into the space at 13796 Compark Blvd. in unincorporated Douglas County in October. Stapleton said the extra breathing room has fostered the addition of nine new bicycle repair stations, and the creation of a new resale shop called The Kick Stand.
While Project Recycle accepts bike donations of all makes, models and condition, some are not always a good for kids or the average rider, according to Stapleton.
Higher-end bikes, such as those with specialized frames or those that may have a higher resale value, are sold, and the proceeds go back into Project Recycle.
But Stapleton said the new space is just the beginning of bigger things to come.
"The bikes aren't always just for kids," he explained. "We have a lot of bikes for parents as well. Some need them to get to and from work or the bus; others often ride with their kids."
Project Recycle, which has given away more than 3,000 bikes since its inception, is looking at expansions into Castle Rock, Colorado Springs and New Mexico.
Among Project ReCycle's biggest needs right now is a pickup truck to pull a small covered trailer.
"We've got a lot of work ahead of us before that happens," Stapleton said. "But it's worth it, when you see that smile on a kid's face. That's what makes it all worthwhile."

Democratic News
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of the Interior's (DOI) Office of Inspector General released its final audit report of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Helium Program. The BLM Helium Program manages the Federal Helium Reserve, located near Amarillo, Texas. Sales from the helium reserve supply about 40 percent of domestic and 30 percent of global demand for helium each year. Helium is critical to a wide range of industrial, scientific, and medical markets, including medical devices such as MRIs, high tech manufacturing of semiconductors and fiber optic cables, industrial welding, space exploration and other important scientific research.
The Inspector General report highlights issues with the operation of the Reserve that the bipartisan Helium Stewardship Act (S. 2374) is designed to address. The report finds that the BLM is currently selling helium at rates well below market value, does not currently have the information or capability to determine a fair market price, and that taxpayers will miss out on millions of dollars in additional revenue if corrective action is not taken in the near future. In addition, without congressional action to reauthorize the Helium Program, the program will terminate as early as next year, creating a scarcity of helium supply for government, industrial, medical and other applications.
Sen. Bingaman: "This report underscores problems with the operation of the Bureau of Land Management's Helium Program that must be addressed, and quickly, to capture maximum value for the American taxpayer and ensure the viability of our critical helium supply. The bipartisan legislation we have already introduced addresses the program deficiencies raised by the report, and will allow for the continued repayment of the national debt by selling helium at fair market prices. In addition to providing a good return on investment to American taxpayers, the legislation will boost the private helium sector and ensure the continued success of domestic manufacturers that use helium for industrial, scientific and medical purposes. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to take swift action and pass this bill."
Sen. Barrasso: "The Inspector General report confirms what members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have known for a while — that BLM is selling helium from the Federal Helium Reserve below market prices. Our bipartisan helium bill would give BLM the tools it needs to sell helium at market prices. This will help ensure taxpayers get a fair return on this resource and that manufacturers of MRIs, semiconductors, and other important technologies, have a stable supply of helium."
The Helium Stewardship Act, introduced in April by Senators Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and John Barrasso (R-WY) and co-sponsored by 21 other senators, lays out a responsible resource management strategy for the Federal Helium Reserve. The bipartisan Helium Stewardship Act draws on recommendations from private helium producers, refiners, distributors, end users, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Academy of Sciences to address the most pressing problems facing our nation's helium industry.
Current law mandates essentially a "fire sale" of existing Federal helium assets to repay a $1.3 billion debt to the U.S. Treasury. The current sales structure distorts the private helium market and is creating uncertainty for industrial, Federal, medical and scientific users of helium. The Bingaman-Barrasso bill would remove this market distortion for the benefit of industry, private and Federal users.
The legislation does not authorize any new appropriations, and keeps the Federal Helium Program revenue positive through ongoing helium sales.

We already dealt with Project Management and its internals in different topics. Let us review some information on Portfolio management and Program management which are closely related to Project Management.
Portfolio management and Program management facilitates effective control and management of projects.
Portfolio Management:
In financial investment terms, portfolio is a single place to view collection of investments held by individuals and it is used to do investment analysis.
A Portfolio in project management terms refers to managing collection of projects or programs and other work that is grouped together. The projects or programs of a portfolio may or may not related to each other. Usually these groupings are done for betterment of the executing organization by allocating, sharing & prioritizing resources across constituting programs or projects.
Program Management:
If executing of different projects are not beneficial to the organization then these projects will be managed together through a Program. When executing related projects in a coordinated way as a program, it gives more control over them. Programs may include elements of related work outside the scope of the discrete projects in the program. Program management can be viewed as the centralized, coordinated management of a group of projects to achieve the program's objectives and benefits.
Generally, grouping of projects into a Program or Portfolio depends on different key factors. 1) ease of governance 2) Alignment to vision, mission and strategy of organization 3) accountability 4) optimizing return on investment 5) availability of infrastructure & resources 6) progressive elaboration 7) organization's priorities, etc.
Here is the general representation of relationships between Portfolio, Program and Project.

Welcome back for another installment of my Vintage Quilt Mondays series. This week I'm sharing a quilt that is very special to me and my mom, a nine patch quilt made by our aunt Ollie.
Here's me and my great-great aunt Ollie Belle, circa 1976. I'm pretty sure she made that afghan behind us too. She liked to keep her hands busy and she made all kinds of quilts and crocheted blankets.
The story goes that my mom asked for one of Aunt Ollie's quilts for her nineteenth birthday, so my grandparents bought this one for her. My mom has had it ever since, and it has been well loved and used often. I remember wrapping up with it on the couch all the time as I was growing up.
Aunt Ollie was my mom's dad's aunt. She grew up in the hills of central Kentucky and made her way north to Ohio, probably around 1910, to look for work. She and her family eventually settled in Franklin, Ohio, a small town between Cincinnati and Dayton.
I was lucky enough to know Aunt Ollie a bit as a child, and I still have the quilt that she made for me when I was born. Aunt Ollie was an avid upcycler before upcycling was cool, as I imagine many in her generation were.
She didn't go to a fabric store to buy supplies for her quilts or crocheted afghans, not that there were many available to her in small town Ohio. So, she would often use old clothing in her work, and this quilt is no exception. The simple nine patch squares are made out of old shirtings, with lots of plaids and ginghams.
She used aqua solid cotton for the cornerstones and the sashing appears to be made out of muslin. Aunt Ollie did all of the piecing and quilting by hand, and this one is tied with a pale yellow yarn.
I really love the look of the hand piecing.
And the binding is made out of the same white muslin as the sashing.
As I said, this quilt was used a lot over the last 40 or so years, so it's not in the best shape. There are some holes and stains throughout it.
And since Aunt Ollie used old clothing, some of the fabrics wear more than others. This pink, green, and white striped fabric is very sheer and hasn't held up as well as some of the others.
And this guy...if you look closely in the top picture you can see him too. He's a stray that adopted us this summer. We need another pet like we need a hole in the head (seriously) but I'm sure he's here to stay. I think somebody abandoned him because he's sweet as can be, but he's a skinny little thing. He's headed to the spay and neuter clinic very soon.
Back to Aunt Ollie's quilt. I really love her choice of colors and I think one of these days I'll have to make a similar nine patch our of ginghams and plaids too. It's so bright and fresh and I think the aqua cornerstones are the perfect touch, don't you?

It's hard to fall asleep when you want to find out about your roots.
This is what Brian sent me yesterday morning after a sleepless night…
He was burning midnight oil to find his ancestors…
I can understand because I have been there.
Louis Lagacé or Louis Legasse or Lewis LeGacy arrived in the U.S. in November 1835 according to this document.
He was naturalized in 1856.
He was born in 1819 in Ste.Anne, Lower Canada, which is most probably Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatière.
But is he the real Lewis who is related to Brian LeGacy?
We will have to look in the parish registers for the year 1819.
That's a good place to start. But then the birthyear might be off… a little. This is almost always the case.
Brian was quick on the trigger and he searched the registers.
Probably losing sleep.
Before falling asleep, he found this document.
He can't read French…
He thought it was about a Louis Matthieu L'agacé.
Since I have 100% French-canadian roots… I can read French… and offered a helping hand.
Well not 100%… because I am also a direct descendant on my mother'side of Josiah Rising and Abigail Nims taken captives in 1704 in a raid on Deerfied, Massachusetts…
Click here… for information about the Deerfield massacre.
"I wished they had invented photography before 1840… my descendants would have a picture of their ancestor."

Motorcycle crashes usually look pretty gnarly. This guy hits a car, rolls over the hood Starsky & Hutch style, and lands on his feet with minor injuries.
This crash is another reminder to dress up like a power ranger when you you're your bike, not go out in shorts and flip flops. That other motorcycle crash that flung its rider through the air like a rag doll is a good warning, too.
(Hat tip to $kaycog!)

2 Putnam County deputies fired after bar fight
One of deputies was involved in controversial shooting last summer
PALATKA, Fla. – One Putnam County Sheriff's Office detective who lost a handgun in a bar fight and a second who was belligerent and flashed his badge the same night at the same Palatka bar were fired by Sheriff Jeff Hardy.
According to documents from the Sheriff's Office investigation into the June 8 incident, witnesses said off-duty Deputies Josh Maynard and Raymond Strickland were drinking at the Hi-Level bar when Maynard pinched a woman, then fought with her boyfriend. During the fight, Maynard lost a concealed handgun, which was retrieved by the owner of the bar, who refused to give it back.
"A second officer made an attempt to retrieve it, which I refused," bar owner Larry Adkins said. "He flashed his badge at me and we got into some verbal conversation and we made him leave also."
Maynard, a department employee since 2011, was fired on Monday. The investigation concluded he was highly intoxicated, instigated a bar fight, took a concealed weapon to a bar and lost it. During his interview in the investigation, he recalled having lots to drink and multiple shots of alcohol.
After Maynard's gun was discovered missing, witnesses say Strickland became belligerent and rude to employees and flashed his badge. Adkins told investigators Strickland never said why he showed his badge.
"It's unfortunate that something like that happens, particularly law enforcement. Our place of business is not known for that kind of thing," Adkins said.
The findings of the investigation found that Strickland violated standards of conduct and misused his agency identification. The investigator also wrote that a member of a covert Sheriff's Office unit, Strickland endangered that unit by identifying himself as law enforcement at a bar, the investigation concluded.
DOCUMENTS: Putnam County Sheriff's Office investigation, discipline reports
On Monday, one day short of finishing his one-year probation, Strickland was notified that Sheriff Hardy had ordered him fired.
Strickland was the subject of controversy after the July deputy-involved shooting death of Alfred Dobson, 35, an unarmed, mentally ill man in Satsuma. While the investigation found Dobson was shot seven times in a violent struggle, the shooting was found to be justifiable.
That shooting was only a month after Strickland was rehired in Putnam County after nearly losing his job with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in 2010. According to documents, he pinned a security guard against a wall at a Tampa swimming pool after being caught urinating in public, then berated Tampa police officers called to the scene.
Because Strickland was on probation, he has no option to appeal his dismissal. Maynard has until Friday to ask for a hearing on his termination.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office did not comment on the firings.
Adkins said he's comfortable with the decision to fire them.
"Any time that that does happen, the individuals should be punished to the extent of the law, just like you or I or anyone else that goes against the grain," he said.
Adkins points out that he has more than a dozen cameras set up around his bar. He said fighting and any kind of bad behavior undermines the integrity of his business and won't be tolerated.
"We don't condone that kind of conduct from anyone, let alone law enforcement," Adkins said. "We think we did our job well here and did it the correct way, as well as the Sheriff's Office in handling it."

SC2 is a deterministic game in the sense that there is nothing left to chance. No units get a "20% chance to cause bonus" or anything like that. The same keystrokes will always yield exactly the same result.
But there are some elements which have an element of randomness. The importance of this is that there are still some elements of the game which cannot be predicted. I'd love to see a list. Here are a couple I can think of right now:
- Starting situation (spawn location, map, ladder opponent)
- When an SCV is constructing a building, it moves in seemingly random patterns during construction. If you're lucky, the SCV will move where he can't get sniped.
There are other random things but don't affect the game, like the appearance of a dark templar (scythe or no scythe).

Louis Sorenson has converted the Greek and Hebrew fonts to UNICODE, and created a temporary web page for the html version at http://www.letsreadgreek.org/resources/ ... mmar/html/. The file is currently one massive htlm document (also available in an MS Word document at http://www.letsreadgreek.org/resources/ ... ongrammar/. But that version is full of MS junk formatting code. It would be nice to get a clean HMTL version.
There are a number of things yet to do on the HTML version, which could be done by members of B-Greek
Yet to Do:
- Chunk the grammar into manageable size, whether page or chapter
- Proof read the grammar for errors.
- Divide indexes into separate columns. Currently the flow is as a single column for the whole page.
- Put footnotes in consecutive order (on separate lines)
- Add hyperlinked bookmarks (page numbers) at the start of every page (for html edition)
- Create a paragraph version and remove the carriage returns and hyphenation at the end of most lines.
- Add links to the Additional notes in the main body of the text

The Kansas Pacific Railroad established a water station on the tracks at the site of present-day Ellis in 1867, and later purchased the site for $1200 through the Homestead Act. An officially recognized post office was established on June 27, 1870. The first church came to Ellis in 1874. The year 1873 saw the establishment of the first school. Beginning in 1875, Ellis became a shipping point for cattle herds, driven up from the south, for nearly five years. On January 10 1888, the City of Ellis was incorporated by law as a Third Class City. In 1896, the women's "Law and Order Committee" slate won the local election, and Ellis' all-woman council and a lady mayor became one of the first such groups in the United States.
In the late 1800's Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill Cody were seen often in town. John Henry, an UP train dispatcher in Ellis, invented the electric streetcar in 1882. Early Ellis residents Walter and Roy Cross developed the "Cross Process," a method of converting kerosene, natural gas, oil or fuel oil into gasoline that was used widely across the U.S. Walter P. Chrysler, who grew up in Ellis and learned about mechanical repair and machinery in the Ellis UP shop, used this knowledge to found the automotive giant, the Chrysler Corporation. Walt Disney, the late producer-animator and founder of the Walt Disney Studios, also had connections to Ellis.
Now a City of the Second Class, Ellis has several churches, a new post office, a new high school, a new library, new city hall, new sewer plant and new water treatment plant. There are three museums--Walter P. Chrysler Boyhood Home, Railroad Museum and Bukovina Museum. There is a nine-hole grass green golf course and clubhouse. A campground nestles along the banks of Big Creek Lake. Shady Parks, a large swimming pool, several fenced ball diamonds, sand volleyball pits, horseshoe pits, outdoor basketball courts, new tennis courts and a Frisbee golf course provide lots of recreation opportunities. Several fishing piers/boat docks dot the banks of Big Creek.

Anne Hathaway Gets Whatever She Wants
Award nominations, fabulous clothes, and now a role on Glee that she willed into existence. Also today: Robert Downey Jr. is one smart old dog, the triumphant return of Sarah Michelle Gellar, and some Jennifer Love Hewitt news.
Anne Hathaway, faux-elegant dork diva of the moment, has wormed her way onto the Glee television program for special people. A few months ago she said on a talk show that she wants to play Kurt's long-lost lesbian aunt, and sure enough she just might do that! Apparently she talked to Ryan Murphy and other Glee bigwigs backstage at last night's "Let's Save Al Pacino's Brain!" telethon, and the gears started turning. So that's good. That's how it's done, folks! If you want to be on Glee, all you have to do is come up with your own character and plot, get yourself on a talk show and mention your idea, then accost Ryan Murphy backstage at the Golden Globes to seal the deal. Anyone can do it! This is America, after all. [THR]
Well, here's some good TV news to cleanse the palate. Sarah Michelle Gellar might be returning to the airwaves soon, as another tough cookie. OK, so, the show would be on CBS, which isn't great, but maybe it'll be Good Wife CBS instead of Two and a Half NCIS Bangs CBS. The show is called Ringer and is about "a troubled young woman who, while on the run from the mob, hides out by inhabiting the life of her wealthy twin sister, until she learns that her twin's life has a bounty on it as well." Sounds kind of fun! She'd get to play two parts, kinda. I hope it works out for her. She's had some TV stumbles in the past, notably an interesting sounding HBO pilot called The Wonderful Maladys that never went anywhere. Welcome back, I hope, SMG! [Deadline]
Attention retro cartoon nerds. Robert Downey Jr. has agreed to star in a movie version of Peabody and Sherman, based on the old cartoon segment from Rocky & Bullwinkle, about an old dog and his pet boy. No, no, no, not "an old dog and his pet boy" in the sexy Gandalf/Frodo sense. Like actually a dog, who is a genius, and his friend/assistant who is a young boy. They travel through time together and have adventures. The producers were going to make the film a live-action/animation hybrid but have, wisely, decided to make it all animated. I actually don't mind this one! It's a fun, weird little cartoon and Downey Jr. is a good choice for the voice part. Hopefully they'll stay true to the original tone and humor and won't try to jazz it up too much. Or maybe they'll make it actually about an old dog and his pet boy in the Alfred Molina/firecrackers kid sense and that'll be interesting too. [EW]
Sarah Michelle Gellar's friend in hit-and-runs, Jennifer Love Hewitt, will be directing her first feature film, Can't Hardly Wait 2: The Legend of Kenny's Gold. Oh I wish! Not it's actually a ghost movie called Wait Till Helen Comes, about director Taylor Hackford wanting to go to sleep but not being allowed to. No, it's actually based on a children's book about a vengeful ghost kid and the two living kids she terrorizes. So it's basically about annoying little Lacey Chabert on the set of Party of Five bothering Neve Campbell and J. Love all the time. [THR]
Oh god. Here's another teaser trailer for Game of Thrones, the big TV series that everyone's so excited about. Well, OK, not everyone. But like many people in my circle of friends have started reading these damn books in the past year or so and they are all obsessed and I just don't know what to do. It's like they're all becoming zombies or body snatchers or something and they're saying "Room for one more..." but I'm resisting! I'm trying so hard to resist! But it is not easy. They are everywhere, and there are more and more by the day. Help, please. [Deadline]

Cook the Book: Asian Fried Turnip Paste
Asian Fried Turnip Paste might just be the most unappealing recipe title ever. Turnips? (Those pale root vegetables that have never won me over?) And paste, more of a minty glue substitute than a food. Honestly, it sounded horrible until I looked at the photo accompanying the recipe—a beautiful plate of perfectly fried turnip cakes garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and finished with soy sauce. I would have ordered it in a heartbeat at dim sum, never considering to ever make it at home.
But venturing outside of my comfort zone is one of my great joys in the kitchen and this recipe from The Vegetarian Option by Simon Hopkinson seemed to fit the bill.
The scent of steaming turnips combined with copious amounts of grated ginger and dried mushrooms makes for a pungent and unfamiliar kitchen aroma, and combined with water chestnuts, chiles, and scallions, my kitchen might as well have belonged to someone else. But at the same time it was very exciting.
The paste went into the steamer (or my rice cooker as the case may be) and I waited to see if this mix of unfamiliar ingredients would gel. After the paste steamed and cooled in the refrigerator, I sliced it into wedges and fried it in sesame oil. The slices browned beautifully, crisp on the outside and soft within, with wonderful pieces of chiles, mushrooms, and water chestnuts inside. It's the kind of stick-to-your-ribs dish that vegetarians dream of—hearty and filled with the best kind of meatless umami.
Win The Vegetarian Option
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Vegetarian Option to give away this week.
- Yield:4
- Rated:
- 1 1/4 pounds turnips, peeled
- 1 cup water
- 1 heaping teaspoon Maldon sea salt
- 1/3 cup dried porcini mushrooms
- 6 scallions, trimmed
- 1 large green chili, seeded (for less heat) if preferred
- 1 large red chili, seeded (for less heat) if preferred
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2/3 cup canned water chestnuts, drained
- 1 rounded tablespoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Paste (recipe follows)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger Syrup (recipe follows)
- 1/4 cup Chinese rice wine
- 3/4 cup rice flour (an Asian brand, if possible, but not the glutinous variety)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- To serve
- soy sauce
- cilantro sprigs
- 2/3 cup sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons finely grated ginger (juice saved!)
- 1 large garlic clove, peeled
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons mirin (Japanese cooking wine)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chili oil
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup sesame oil, plus a little extra to serve
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
- 2 cups (scant) granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Finely pared zest of 1 lemon (use a potato peeler)
- 1 1/2 cups peeled and coarsely grated fresh ginger
First grate the turnips (a food processor is the easiest way). Place in a pan, add the water and salt, and stir together. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the grated turnip is very tender indeed—almost a mushy consistency.
Tip the turnips and liquid into a strainer set over a bowl and press down on the turnip using the back of a ladle to extract as much flavor and juice as possible. Drop the porcini mushrooms into this liquid and leave to soak for about 15 minutes, until soft. In the meantime, mince the scallions, chilis, garlic, and water chestnuts (pulse in a small food processor for convenience).
Once soft, drain the porcini, reserving the liquid, and mince. Tip into a bowl and add the minced ingredients, ginger, sesame paste, and ginger syrup. Mix together well.
Pour the rice wine into a measuring pitcher and add 1 cup of the reserved turnip/porcini liquid. Whisk the rice flour into this and then stir in the vegetable mixture.
Oil a small rectangular container (a small loaf pan or Tupperware box) with the sesame oil. Spoon in the turnip mixture, spreading it evenly. Cover with foil and put it into a steamer. Steam it over simmering water for 1 1/2 hours, or until set and firm to the touch.
Take the container out of the steamer and remove the foil. After about 15 minutes, press a sheet of plastic wrap over the surface of the turnip paste. Allow to cool completely and then refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours or, even better, overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator and run a little hot water onto the sides of the mold to loosen the cake. Turn the turnip cake out onto a cutting board and cut into slices, about 1/2 inch thick, using a sharp knife dipped into a pitcher of boiled water.
Run a little sesame oil into a nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Lay the slices in the skillet and fry on both sides until a rich, dark brown color; I like a few burned spots, too. Place on a heated serving platter, drizzle over some soy sauce, and add the cilantro sprigs.
Sesame Paste
- makes about 1 3/4 cups -
Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant, and cool slightly. Tip into a small food processor and add all of the other ingredients. Grind and pulse until you have a paste that is fully emulsified and super-smooth.
Pour into two small, lidded containers, smooth the surface, and trickle over a little extra sesame oil, to preserve the surface. Put in the refrigerator, where the paste will keep happily for anything up to 1 month. Or you could freeze one of them, if you like.
Ginger Syrup
Dissolve the sugar in a the water in a pan over medium heat, then bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Immediately add the lemon zest and ginger and stir together. Bring back to a boil for a few seconds then pour into a bowl. Cover and leave to infuse overnight.
The following day, add 2 tablespoons of water and warm through until liquid and pourable. Strain through a sieve and press on the solids with the back of a ladle to extract all the ginger and lemon flavors. Pour the syrup into a screw-top jar and store in the refrigerator until needed, where it will keep for several weeks.

08 August 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
A Chinese father is suspected to have transmitted the novel Avian Influenza A (H7N9) virus to his daughter who had tended to him during the illness in early March 2013.
Singapore: In the first such case reported worldwide, a Chinese father is suspected to have transmitted the novel avian influenza A (H7N9) virus to his daughter who had tended to him during the illness in early March 2013. Both the father and daughter died due to the infection in the next two months.
Though alarming, scientists conclude that the human-to-human transmission process has not been found to be very efficient as it had spared nearly two dozen close relatives who too had been in the proximity of the infected man during the same period, reported a study published by the British Medical Journal.
Also read: How well is the industry prepared to fight H7N9 bird flu?
The study, reported by two British scientists, Dr James Rudge and Dr Richard Coker of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is based on the epidemiological work done on the spot led by Dr Ming-Hao Zhou, director of Jiangsu Province Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Nanjing, Jiangsu and her team.
Interestingly, the daughter who provided unprotected care to her father who is suspected to have picked up the infection at the local poultry market was the first one to succumb to the virus. Her 60-year-old father died three weeks after her due to multiple organ failure induced by the virus.
The daughter had never gone to the poultry market nor had she been in touch with them in all her life. This was the reason for scientists to suspect that the virus transmission took place from human to human ( father to daughter) is one of the world's first such cases reported so far.
The virus isolated from both these victims were genetically identical, confirming the transmission. Scientists had checked all the poultry, swans and other water birds in the vicinity to reconfirm the source of the infected virus.
"To our best knowledge, this is the first report of probable transmissibility of the novel virus person to person with detailed epidemiological, clinical, and virological data. Our findings reinforce that the novel virus possesses the potential for pandemic spread," the scientists wrote in BMJ.
Also read: Have the Chinese created a new destructive flu virus?
The new strain of avian flu virus was detected in China in early 2013 and has so far infected 133 people and 43 deaths till the end of June.
The authors of the report however caution that "limited transmission between humans is not surprising but does not necessarily indicate that the virus is on course to develop sustained transmission among humans."
Dr Zhou said the "virus transmission was limited and non-sustainable as there has been no outbreak of the disease in the locality after these cases."

SKF Insight®
Miniaturized smart components for measuring and diagnosing bearing performance are packaged within the bearing or bearing housing, rather than outside the machinery. This enables measurement of critical parameters such as RPM, temperature, velocity, vibration, load and other features.
Then, via wireless technology, bearings communicate their condition under various operating conditions instantly and directly through a gateway to remote diagnostic centres. In addition, embedded sensors are self-powering, charged by the movement of the bearing.
Benefits of SKF Insight include:
- Improved maintenance planning
- More accurate bearing condition data
- Ability to observe bearing performance in real time
- No need to run power to machinery or change out batteries frequently
- Ability to monitor machinery in extremely remote locations

MILTON — In the Executive Council District 1 race, the Democratic side of the ballot is uncontested this September, while two men vie for the post on the Republican side.
Longtime incumbent Republican Ray Burton is being challenged for the position by Gerard "Jerry" Thibodeau, of Rumney, who did not respond to questions for the purposes of this article.
Burton, 73, of Bath, is an adjunct professor at Springfield College in Vermont. He said he wishes to be re-elected to the District 1 position to ensure more people are involved in their state government and to work the state congressional delegation to "do more for northern New Hampshire towns, cities and counties."
He said he would aim to be flexible and available to people who reach out to speak with him, adding he is strongly in support of the hospitality, tourist and outdoor recreation industry.
"My vision for the future is to be there when citizens contact my office," Burton said. "(I want) to continue to follow through on the dozens of requests from citizens who run into snags with their state government."
Democrat Elizabeth "Beth" Funicella, 57, of Jackson, has lived in the area for 17 years and says she wishes to run in the general election to offer voters "an alternative."
"I'm running to offer the voters an alternative and an option for a fresh, new look at the problems that face our district," she said.
Funicella served as chairman of the Carroll County Democratic Committee from 2008 to 2010 and is a board officer for Mountain Top Music Center, a nonprofit school offering music learning and listening opportunities in the Mt. Washington Valley and surrounding areas.

I have vivid memories of '50s and '60s dads who bought a new car every year. And I remember groups of them standing around at the neighborhood barbecue, wearing hats and jingling the change in their pockets, as they talked about being diehard Ford, Chevy or Chrysler men. "I wouldn't drive a Ford if you gave me one," the GM guy would say.
"Oh yeah?" the Ford guy would reply, "I wouldn't use my Ford to drive your Chevy to the dump." And for good measure, he'd shoot back this joke: "How is a golf ball different from a Chevy? You can drive a golf ball 200 yards." (And oh yes, the Chevy guy's response is, "How do you double the value of a Ford? You put gas in it.") And both of these guys would have brand-new cars out front.
Times have changed, and it's affecting new car sales. For one thing, automakers don't automatically update their styling every year, as they did back in the day. The '59 Chevy was radically different from the '60. And if the neighbors can't tell you have a new car, what's the point?
A new survey by AutoMD.com finds other reasons — cars are better built and last longer today (whatever happened to rust?) and people are finding it cheaper to repair and maintain the old clunker than buying new. Eight of 10 car owners are keeping their cars at least a decade. Look at that loyal GM man at right. He's happy, why does he need a new car? A whopping 44 percent in the site's survey said they're going to keep driving their bomb, and put up with more regular repairs and parts buying, "until the undertaker delivers a tombstone." And 47 percent said they would just rather not buy a new car now. That's the recession talking.
The parts business is booming. According to eBay Motors' mobile app, somebody buys a wheel or tire on an app every 14 seconds, and an engine or component every 25. Ironically, parts aren't much of an issue with electric cars, whose motors are practically sealed for life. EVs are still a tiny part of the market, though, so nobody's really worried yet.
A Black Book survey finds that most people want to see 125,000 to 150,000 on their odometers before they consider a trade-in, and that makes sense because modern cars can easily go that distance without major repairs.
Perhaps Detroit would be doing better if it had hung on to planned obsolescence. But despite the economy the auto industry isn't exactly dying at the moment. If current trends continue, 14 million cars and trucks will be sold to Americans in 2012, which is 13 percent growth from 2011. According to Edmunds.com Chief Economist Dr. Lacey Plache, "The bottom line is that pent-up demand for autos is still strong and can be expected to continue to contribute sales, given the aging fleet and the current expansion of credit."
Ah yes, the "aging fleet." A lot of people own really old cars now, and that's sending them — reluctantly — into the auto markets. And because people are having a better quality experience with American cars, they're more likely to buy domestic this time around. See, quality pays off, and it all works out in the end.
So if you do intend to keep that old rattletrap forever, you'll need a good maintenance schedule — check out these useful tips. Cars with 100,000-plus miles need special care. Here's some sage advice for venerable vehicles:

Been too long, eh?
So this is how I spent my Saturday afternoon.
3.15 pm - Go to local police station to report lost mobile phone. Its probably the cheapest piece on the market right now, barely breaking into 4 figures, plus I've been using it for more than a year, so I don't really want to go through this hassle, but the local Reliance outlet ladies tell me that I can only get a new SIM card if I can give them a copy of a police complaint/FIR. I figure 'Fair enough', so I go to the police station.
Hawaldar-type fellow/some other guy asks me receipt for the phone. I tell him its a really old piece, I'm not really bothered about it, I just want to lodge a item missing complaint. They (also kinda reasonably) tell me that until they have some proof for proving that the item missing is mine, they can't register the complaint. Ask me to at least get proof that the SIM card was registered to me. I guess that shouldn't be a problem.
3.40 pm - At the Reliance mobile store. They're reasonable too and give me a printout of some screen which shows my name next to my mobile number and some other information. I ask them to put some kind of stamp and/or sign it. They tell me that's not possible and since the screenshot shows the company name, that should suffice. I'm not convinced, I know the cops are going to ask for it. I ask them again, again I'm refused. I'm beginning to get a little irritated.
4.05 pm - Back at the police station. Same fellow asks for stamp on the paper. I'm laughing at myself now. I tell him the 'gallery' people aren't giving it and are being unreasonable. He goes on for a 2-minute rant, ending with the usual 'Saab se baat karo'. I'm like, 'Fine, at least its moving ahead.' Saab is a pretty nice guy, asks me where I lost the phone. I tell him at the railway station. Saab is very pleased at this and says that's not our jurisdiction, go to the railway-wala police station. Helpfully tells me where the 'thana' is located and that the railway police at Thane have caught some big gang of mobile thieves and hopes I find my mobile amongst their loot. I'm smiling, he's smiling, everyone's smiling even though nothing is being actually done.
4.30 pm - Its not very far away, so I decide to walk down to the station and speak to some police fellow. Be aware that this is Mulund station we are talking about. Fellow there again sympathetically listens to everything I have to say and then tells me I'll have to lodge a complaint in Kurla. I'm like, WHAT? He tells me they fall under Kurla's jurisdiction, so they won't be able to give me the certificate or complaint copy or whatever else. Another fellow tells me 'Sab sahab log wahaan pe baithte hain, toh aapko sign karke wohi denge, hum nahin de sakte.' Now I'm truly irritated. I ask them once more if its not possible for them to do something at Mulund, they say sorry, no. All very nicely, I must add, but that really isn't helping me.
4.45 pm - I'm out of the railway police station and I'm buying sevpuri, because I like sevpuri. I've dealt with the Kurla railway police station before and its definitely not something I look forward to. Not to mention, its a half-hour train journey from Mulund, which I have no intention of taking on a holiday. Suddenly, I get a brainwave and call up the Reliance helpline, and ask them the procedure for canceling my number. Its not a number I use much and I haven't given it to many people either, so I'm perfectly OK with stopping the service. I come to know that for completely stopping the service, I require only a few documents which I'm already carrying on hand. I'm feeling better now.
5.15 pm - I'm at the Reliance store again. I tell them I want to cancel my number. Suddenly, it appears that I, in fact, don't need a police complaint to get a replacement SIM card. Fifteen minutes later, I walk out with my new SIM card.
Derive your own conclusions. (10 mark question)

Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? You'll have this problem...maybe in coding...maybe in life, you won't know what to do about it, maybe it's puzzling you for several days, and then one day you're in the John, and BAM! it hits you, and you just know that you have it. You run out (but don't forget to wash your hands first), and test the hypothesis, and sure enough, you are right.
Let me give you some examples...
In assembly language I had an extra credit portion of a project (this was several years ago, so I'm hazy on the details. Bear with me). We were coding a poker game, and each card had to be stored in 8 bits. It was all about bit-shifting, etc. Anyway I forget what the extra credit was (exactly), but I remember that the problem was there was this extra piece of data that needed to be stored (to be used later) but there was no more room in the 8 bits, and storing it some other place seemed problematic and also a lame hack. In the John at work I realized that there was a way to solve the problem--you don't bother to save the data! For various reasons, the data wasn't really needed, although on the surface it appeared that way.
Another case was a chess puzzle that was a mate in 3 problem, but was incredibly hard. It was posted at the local chess club, and nobody was able to solve it. I realized like 2 weeks after I first saw it that there must exist some Knight move, that was not a check, but would force the opposing king onto a light square, and then the mate would be trivial. It turned out to be right. It also turned out....you guessed it, I was in the John.
Now, fast-forward to today. I just had another revelation. This one is about how to make the reputation work better on CBoard. I was just reading the post referencing the quote, "Compilers don't support programmers with 4 red squares." Then I go to the John, and BAM! I get this idea.
We should assign negative reputation differently depending on the reputation of the poster that is trying to assign a red square. Here is my proposal:
1) If the person giving negative reputation has a Gray square, they are really only assigning 1/5 of a red square, and they are only able to contribute 1/5 towards 'red squaring' somebody. So you need 5 distinct gray square people to label you a 'red squarer'.
2) If the person giving negative reputation has a green square, they are assigning 1/2 of a red square, but can contribute as many red squares as they feel necessary.
3) If someone is 'in the red', and they try to add negative reputation to a gray or single green, it is simply ignored (because everyone knows that this guy is an idiot anyway), but the person he tried to 'red square' is notified, and possibly encouraged to give the person another bad mark.
4) If someone 'in the red' is dumb enough to try to add negative reputation to someone with more than 1 green, I say that the person 'in the red' is immediately given two more red squares, and is sent a message to the effect of, 'Hey Bozo, who do you think you are?! Everyone know that 'Darkness' would never do anything to deserve a red mark (and especially not from you)! Why don't you go stand in a corner, think about what you've done, and come back to talk to us when you can act like an adult."
Okay...okay...maybe some of the details above wouldn't exactly fly, but in it was just sort of a funny thing that occured to me in the John just now, and I thought I would share it.
And regardless of what you think of the last idea, I stand by my assertion that great insights may be gained while taking a leak. Has anyone else observed the same phenomenon?

The Brits is pretty much what you expect a host of stars, starlets, luvvies, media types, the full A to Z of celebrity. Then you have the those they all came to see and be seen with the Brit nominees and the winners.
It was a good night for Emili Sande taking home the Brit award for British Solo Female Artist of the years and album of the year. Other artistes who won were Ben Howard (Best British Breakthrough and Male Solo Artist), Lana Del Rey (Best International Female), Frankie Ocean (Best International Male), Black Keys (Best International Group) and Adele received her award over in America for Best Single.
Pretty much all the usual suspects picking up awards except that is for uber-boy band of the moment One Direction. Host James Corden spent a lot of the programme talking about them and mingling with them. When Talyor Swift made an appearance it did not take long for James Corden to head over to join them (well Harry Styles). A beaming open shirted Simon Cowell was close by, keeping an eye on his money spinning wards. Generally they were the focus of a lot of attention.
Surely with all this focus they must be here to pick up an award, but as the awards were handed out one by one it looked like they were heading home empty handed. That was until out came Robbie Williams waddling up to the satge in a suit that fitted very snugly over what looks like the beginning of a very ample belly.
He announced the winners of the 'Brit Award for Global Success' and the winner? Yes One Direction. What? Where did that come from you might say? 'Brit Award for Global Success' where was that when Blur, Oasis, Cold Play and others were sweeping the world before.
Who knows but maybe in the minds of some these other artistes aren't as ground breaking as One Direction. The lesson it seems is if the fans, and critics don't want to show any love for One Direction, the Brits awards committee will.
