Space Janitors: Episode 8
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
The season one finale of Space Janitors.
What. 2013 is YEARS AWAY.
Great season finale,I've loved every episode and can't wait for season 2.
Well this was a great series. Gonna miss it though, it will probably go the same way as so many other video series
Whether it appears on the Escapist or not, they announced that they got funding for season 2 a while back.
Great show guys. It's going to be a long wait.
Wait technicially if he's really a fish then maybe he does got dicks in his mouth that he's unaware of!
Awh man I can't wait that long. Well maybe I can but I really want to see that upcoming space battle!
2013!? Noooo! The world would have ended by then!
I just remembered why I hated the rebels. Thanks Episode! What would I do without this series?
Now all I have to do is wait for 2013...
...after I start working on preventing the end of the world. Beats hitting golf balls into space, though.
Am i the only one thinking of a reverse of how the guy from district 9 turned into a prawn?
Also, hopefully the world won't end by 2013
Andy Hull is undeniably charismatic in this.
what? 2013? its going to dissapear like doraleous and associates isnt it?
I liked how the series turned out. I'm getting a "life of brian" vibe from it.
I gotta say that I enjoyed this. The idea that Darby is really a fish (coupled with the word for word quote from Empire) was pretty funny. But seriously, that Rebel came off as a dick. If Darby was thinking about defecting, he probably set that thought back. And I half expected that we would see him inside the ship that was hit by Darby's golf ball. I'm just going to pretend that he was in it, still cursing at Darby.
Hey Darby, what the hell are you doing in a Taco-Bell commercial? What does Taco-Bell have to do with any of this? Is it canon?
It was really distracting the way the Admiral Akbar hologram was always facing the camera, no matter what the angle was.
Whats the bet Darby's golf ball hit the Lone Rebel's ship?
Everyone who looks at it sees the same angle. That's how it works.
Why is that how it works? That's not how holograms work in real life. It's not how holograms work in Star Wars, where you see the Leia hologram from behind.
In fact, the very point of a hologram is that you can see the hologram as a 3D object from all angles, unlike a 2D picture which only has one angle.
I am sad that it is over for now but happy I know there will be more!
Hm, yeah, you're right. In episode 5 they show Princess Leia's hologram from multiple angles.
2013 seems so far away D':
Aww, this series will be missed.
2013!? Fuck.
Well, definitely was enjoying this series. I hope the hiatus brings it back in full swing.
Gah! I know this series takes a lot of time and effort to make but 2013?! Damn it. And just when things are getting action-y, too.
nooo! it was getting getting good :(
But seriously from episode 1 to now you guys are getting better and better with your show. the look, the feel, the jokes, everything! I'm looking forward to 2013 for season 2 but until then i think i might go work on that time machine.
The whole "dicks in your mouth" conversation was worthy of an Academy Award.
Aw crap! Why must shows always end their seasons on a cliffhanger nowadays? I quite liked the ST:TNG style "Last time on..." narration and the episode overall was very well done! Although for some reason I thought Darby was going to trip up the trooper rather than the rebel... IDK why...
2013???? NOOOOOOO!!! why so long? what should i watch in that time every saturday??
Good finale, tho a bit sad about the 2013 thingy. Still, I´m sure it`ll be worth the wait.
2013 might not be so bad, it's July now. January is 6 months away, and it's in 2013 too.
Damn, looks like this retarded show is going to stay. :(
Great episode guys.
2013? That's too long!
Great work as ever guys, this is now one of the best reasons for hoping the world does NOT end this year :)

Image recognition is the process of identifying and detecting an object or a feature in a digital image or video. This concept is used in many applications like systems for factory automation, toll booth monitoring, and security surveillance. Typical image recognition algorithms include:
- Optical character recognition
- Pattern matching and gradient matching
- Face recognition
- License plate matching
- Scene identification or scene change detection
Machine learning and deep learning methods can be a useful approach to image recognition.
Image Recognition Using Machine Learning
A machine learning approach to image recognition involves identifying and extracting key features from images and using them as input to a machine learning model.
An example of this is classifying digits using HOG features and an SVM classifier.
Image Recognition Using Deep Learning
A deep learning approach to image recognition may involve the use of a convolutional neural network to automatically learn relevant features from sample images and automatically identify those features in new images.
An effective approach for image recognition includes using a technical computing environment for data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development.
For more information, see Computer Vision Toolbox™, Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™, and Deep Learning Toolbox™.

Soy Milk or Cow's Milk: Which Is More Eco-Friendly?
I don't want to be pegged as a freaky full-time soy-milk drinker because at the core, I identify with "regular" milk. From cows. But every so often there's something about soy milk, especially vanilla, that adds a nice twist to an otherwise sludgy coffee.
No offense to furry critters, but I don't drink soy milk for animal rights reasons or anything Mother Nature-related. I drink it because in certain contexts, it's really good. So when Slate reported this week that soy milk isn't necessarily better than cow's milk from an eco-perspective, I appreciated the insight but wasn't any less likely to drink the stuff.
While it has become the milk darling of the environmental movement, soy milk isn't eco-perfect, Slate points out. Unlike cows, the raw beans don't demand food, produce waste, or emit methane, but other ingredients inside soy milk do create environmental burdens, especially in terms of food miles.
Silk brand soy milk, which controls two-thirds of the American soy milk market, brags about using wind power and making green choices, but since they're working with such a niche product, transportation is significant. Popular or not, it's a specialty product with only one-twentieth the market of regular milk, and with less producers involved, ingredients must travel much farther.
Basically, you should drink bean milk because you physically have to or because you genuinely like it—not because you're trying to save the world.

So as I said yesterday in the video post, I am really going to have reflective posts every day this week about what I think this year has meant to me running wise and how 'far' I've come. This post I've taken pictures of all the medals I've got this year. Some were earned by placing in a race, but most were just from running the given race.
I started off the year running in the Kaiser Half Marathon in Irvine, CA and finished in 1:48:43, which was about a nine minute PR from my first half marathon ever in October. I really enjoyed that race and had a lot of fun that day. Then I ran in the Surf City half marathon. I really hated this race, and that's why this year I hopefully can have revenge come February.
Surf City Half Marathon
Then I ran the Race on the Base 10k, which was a fun smaller race. I actually placed 3rd in my Age Group but didn't have the best race. That was the race where I really realized I didn't like 10ks.
Race On The Base 10k
Somehow I got sucked into running a trail run. I liked to think of this trail run as the march of death. It was a 25k (15 miles) and I was DEAD after that for a good week. The hills of Malibu killed me. But, I did complete the Malibu Creek 25k in 3:38:51. Then we had the glorious San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon aka the worst race ever. Ah, what memories. Oddly enough this is also hands down the ugliest medal I have too. Really? A wind-surfer? Yuck. I hate you San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon.
San Diego Marathon ( My first Marathon )
I was going to run a half marathon in March, but had a crazy cough so I opted out and ran the 5k instead in the Wine Country 5k in Paso Robles. I was an idiot and lost the key to the car and had to loop back around mid-race to find it. I also wasn't wearing my garmin, so I am pretty sure I finished around 27:05. It's a funny story though.
In April I ran the Seal Beach 10k. I also took this race to a weird new level by running 2 miles to the start, running the race and then running the 2 miles back home. I finished with a time of 50:34 for that race.
Then I went up to San Francisco to complete the CA Dreamin' series, which was the reason I ran my first half marathon back in October of 2008, in Long Beach. I ran Surf City in February, and then completed the series with the San Francisco half in July. It was a blast and really got me back into thinking about running another marathon.
San Francisco Half Marathon
Since I completed the CA Dreamin' Series I got one of my favorite medals, this BEAST!
Then I ran a 5k at Angel Stadium for fun with a friend. It was really a fun course and I placed first in my age group!
Guy Poncy Memorial 5k
Then, as you all know, I ran the Long Beach Marathon looking for redemption and had the best day of my life. It was everything I've ever wanted and I love the medal from that race. It was the star of my small Christmas tree this year.
Long Beach Marathon
Then I ran the Nike Human Race 10k, which was fun and not very competitive, and I really enjoyed the race.
USC Human Race 10k
Then we had the Heroes for Hope 10k, where I also placed first in my age group. I really pushed myself that race and it paid off. I got a new PR!
Heroes for Hope 10k
Shortly after that I ran the Malibu Marathon, in a tutu. It was a fun but tiring race and that is where I started to deteriorate health wise. Too many races! ha ha.
Malibu Marathon
I finished off the year with the California International Marathon in Sacramento which was the demise of me. Seriously. So cold. That is the only way I can describe that race. But I finished, and became a Marathon Maniac!
California International Marathon
Compared to 2008, where I ran ONE half marathon, and ONE 5k, I guess you can say that I went a little race crazy!
I raced two 5ks (3.1 miles), four 10ks (6.2 miles), 3 half marathons (13.1 miles), one 25k (15 miles) and four full marathons (26.2 miles).
So overall, this year has been a great year full of many medals from many different events. I can't wait to reveal what races I want to run next year!

Unsolved KC homicides leave families hungry for justice
Nearly half of 2012 homicides still unsolved
A police report issued this week said that of the 108 homicides recorded in Kansas City last year, 51 remain unsolved.
The window of Kansas City's AdHoc Group Against Crime features the faces of unsolved homicide victims from 2012 and earlier. The signs in the window feature what appear to be fictionalized pleas from the victims to find their killers.
Rosilyn Temple said she won't forget the night before Thanksgiving 2011, when police found her son, Antonio "Pee Wee" Thompson, dead of a gunshot wound in a Kansas City apartment.
She said she doesn't want investigators to forget about her son's case.
"It's not going to be one of those homicides that gets buried on the pile," she said. "This case will be solved."
She said as recently as Monday, she talked with detectives about that case.
"It's like everything is going back to normal," she said. "I do not have a normal life. I don't have a normal life. That was my child."
She said she hopes that her son's plea for justice won't hang in the window much longer.
"I'm angry. I'm getting angry again. It's like it's starting all over," she said. "It's been well over a year."
She said she thinks a lot of people know what happened to her son, but they won't step up and tell investigators who did it.
Alvin Brooks, the head of the AdHoc Group Against Crime, said investigators struggle with Kansas City's strong culture against "snitching," or giving police information that can help solve crimes.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
- Movie
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is merrily outrageous, over-the-top fun. It's a stoner movie, an into-the-night disaster comedy, a string of sex and race jokes that play like casually tossed-off anti-PC firecrackers, an absurdly touching tale of hard-won friendship — and, wouldn't you know it, a 3-D movie that actually works. (The objects and/or substances that come hurling out at the audience include raw eggs, traffic-construction barrels, and great thick clouds of marijuana smoke.) Harold (John Cho), a Wall Street investment banker who is now a happily married bourgeois citizen, and Kumar (Kal Penn), still a mopy slacker who builds every day around his beloved bong, have now been around for long enough that, at one point, the two actually get chided for being "old." The prospect of another Harold and Kumar excellent adventure sounds like a sequel that no one really needed, but the series, it turns out, isn't just running on fumes (except, of course, for the illegal kind). This third H&K movie may be the wittiest, and liveliest, one yet.
In one sequence, our heroes find themselves in the New York City apartment of an infamously brutal Russian mobster (Elias Koteas). As one of their gawky pals attempts to deflower the mobster's teenage daughter, cocaine dust goes flying into the air to the tune of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." A 3-year-old girl ends up high on the stuff, while Harold and Kumar, having consumed eggnog spiked with God only knows what, wind up in the middle of their very own hallucinated Claymation holiday-horror movie, complete with a giant monster snowman and a visual punchline that, were it not sculpted in clay, would probably have won the movie an NC-17. In just this one sequence, the film tweaks so many taboos, and does it with such no-big-deal aplomb, that the audience gets high too — on the whole spirit of festive naughtiness.
Did I mention that A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is also a disarmingly spirited comedy of yuletide cheer? At this point, the whole genre of megaplex Christmas comedy (Fred Claus, Four Christmases, Jingle All the Way) is an eccentric concoction indeed: The more heartless the jokes, the more we're supposed to feel the toasty family-of-man spirit lurking on the other side of them. This one, directed by series newcomer Todd Strauss-Schulson, fuses misanthropy and sentimentality in hilariously off-kilter ways. It's a movie in which Santa Claus literally gets shot out of the sky, but that hardly means that the film doesn't believe in him. The tawdry/clever plot has Harold and Kumar scrambling from dusk till dawn to replace the perfect Douglas-fir Christmas tree that the two accidentally burned down (with a giant smoldering joint) in Harold's suburban home. If they don't find another Martha Stewart-worthy tree, then Harold is going to be persona non grata with his surly Hispanic father-in-law (a very droll Danny Trejo), who hates Koreans.
Harold and Kumar haven't seen each other for several years, and the movie is about their rediscovery of what their friendship means. For us, it's all about plugging into the attitude that has always bonded them — not just the allegiance to stuff like White Castle and Wu-Tang, but the slightly hostile implacability, the absolute nonplussed cool in the face of whatever happens. They simply can't believe all the idiots and losers that life keeps dispatching their way. Not to mention the charismatic loonies. When they run into Neil Patrick Harris again (once more playing "himself"), they need to hide out from that mobster's goons, and so they join the chorus line of a Christmas production number that Harris sings with a wink of high showmanship that gets the audience jazzed. And that's just the prelude to a perversely hilarious sequence in which Harris has a grand old time tying his sexual image in the media into farcical knots. In its shaggy, pleasure-bombed, '80s-meets-2011 way, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is a deft and generous comedy, with ingeniously interlocking gags and even the film's own mascot, a breakfast-making Wafflebot whose droid voice keeps saying funnier and funnier things. Who even knows where Harold and Kumar, those Everyman heroes for a post-white-boy America, can go from here, as a generation that's come of age along with them watches as they continue to do that deeply strange, stoned-logic thing called growing up.

Makes 1 ½ cups
Mound this wine-scented and herb-flavored fruit mixture over a round of fresh chevre (goat cheese) and accompany the colorful creation with thin slices of French baguette or mild flavored crackers. No need to follow the dried fruit quantities or choices exactly; use about 1 ½ cups total fruit, taking into account that a colorful variety will make the most stunning presentation.
½ cup Sauternes or other sweet white wine
¼ cup light raisins
¼ cup dried blueberries
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup finely chopped dried dates
¼ cup finely chopped dried figs
¼ cup finely chopped dried apricots
Thin zest strips from 1 lemon
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
2 green onions (both white and green parts), finely chopped
6 to 8 ounces chevre
Bring the wine to a simmer in a small saucepan; remove from the heat. Add the raisins, blueberries, cranberries, dates, figs, and apricots; cover and let stand until the fruit is softened, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining ingredients, except the green onions and chevre.
When the fruit has softened, stir in the green onions and the lemon juice mixture.
Transfer the fruit compote to a covered container (preferably glass) and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
To serve, form the chevre into a 1 ½-inch thick round. Place the cheese on a platter; top and surround it with the fruit compote and its juices. Serve with a basket of bread or crackers; provide cheese spreaders and small spoons for serving.

dealchecker.co.uk: Book Early to Enjoy Cheap Christmas Holidays
06 Nov, 2012, 08:00 GMT
LONDON, November 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
-Hotels and airlines tempt early-bird bookers with low prices-
Since 4.25 million Brits ventured abroad for the Christmas holidays in 2011 - a number equivalent to more than half the population of greater London - leading online holiday specialists dealchecker.co.uk say that popular destinations such as Las Vegas and Spain are offering cheap early-bird holiday deals to attract revellers during the festive period.
The holiday price comparison site warns that prices are rising every day, with some fares increasing as much as 20 per cent in the past week, so it's best to book Christmas and New Year holidays as early as possible to secure the best deals. British tourists are certainly in the market for cheap Christmas holiday deals this year; compared to the same period last year, dealchecker.co.uk have seen a 127 per cent jump in searches for cheap holidays.
Travellers looking for a sunny Christmas break can find amazing early-bird deals on cheap holidays to Spain, which are currently on offer for less than the price of a Kindle Fire. Spain's sunshine destinations - such as Lanzarote or Benidorm - cut rates dramatically in the off season to attract visitors; enjoy a seven-night holiday in Benidorm between Christmas and New Year from only £136 pp.
Revellers will try their luck in Las Vegas this New Year's Eve, but don't leave it late and gamble on prices; early bookers can currently snap up seven-night holidays to Las Vegas from Manchester from only £864 pp. The iconic Las Vegas Strip closes to traffic on New Year's Eve, so ring in the New Year with thousands of others under a canopy of dazzling lights and fireworks before heading to one of the hundreds of parties at bars, hotels and casinos around the city.
Mark Attwell, MD of dealchecker.co.uk, comments: "This has been a difficult economic year, but a Christmas holiday is a tradition in many families and British tourists still want to go abroad. We've seen a big surge in interest in cheap holidays and early booking deals approaching the Christmas season, and at this time of year, booking holidays early can result in hundreds if not thousands of pounds of savings."

When software is used for safety-critical applications, bugs aren't just expensive annoyancesthey can kill. Faced with such dire consequences, developers of safety-critical systems go to great lengths to prevent bugs from making it into the field. These measures are undeniably effective at reducing risk. Although there have been some famous catastrophic failures over the years, if medical devices or flight-control systems failed as often as most software fails, the headlines would be much grimmer.
So how do they do it, and how can those of us who do not write safety-critical code emulate their success? Well, there are many strategies, but two stand out as being key and offer important lessons for other developersstatic analysis and rigorous testing.
Historically, static analysis had been used to enforce standards or style rules, and do some superficial syntactic checks for patterns that might indicate flaws. While helpful, especially as standards such as Misra C (misra.org.uk) or JSF C++ (www.research.att.com/~bs/JSF-AV-rules.pdf) are widely used by safety-critical software developers, these old-style tools have been difficult to use effectively, not least because of their high false-positive rate. Recently, a new breed of "advanced" static-analysis tools has emerged. These are capable of finding serious bugs such as buffer overruns, null pointer dereferences, resource leaks, and race conditions. They can also highlight inconsistencies or contradictions in the code, such as unreachable code, useless assignments, and redundant conditions, all of which often indicate programmer confusion, and correlate well with bugs. In Gerald Holzmann's "Ten Rules for Writing Safety-Critical Code" (www.spinroot.com/p10), rule 10 specifies that advanced static-analysis tools should be used proactively all through the development process.
Systematic testing is the other prong. As well as being a good idea, often it's also the law. Regulators such as the FAA specify strict rules about how code is tested before it can be deployed in a safety-critical device. In some cases, developers must demonstrate that test suites achieve full coverage of the code. The trouble with this is that it can be enormously expensive to develop these test suites. However, advanced static-analysis tools can help reduce the cost by steering developers away from futile or unnecessary work.
In this article, I focus on advanced static analysis, how it complements traditional testing, and how it can be used for both bug finding and for reducing testing costs.

The Safeco Field electronic scoreboard lit up a zero under the hits category in the eighth inning Friday night, though the Mariners had two hits at the time.
After a homestand mostly consisting of plate failure, even inanimate objects think the Mariners cant hit in Safeco.
It was a particularly frustrating return to the distant confines for Justin Smoak prior to Sundays game-winner. In the Padres series, he hit three would-be home runs, were he stationed in another park. They were three outs in Safeco. Smoak slammed down his helmet during the game and voiced his frustration afterward.
After Friday's practice, it was suggested to de facto Team USA captain Diana Taurasi that ongoing international dominance of women's basketball by one country may not be good for the game.
Taurasi was a large part of Connecticut's tyrannical back-to-back-to-back college titles (2002-04). She also won two WNBA championships with the Phoenix Mercury. And, no one has beaten the U.S. women's team in the Olympics since 1992.
Presented with these facts and the theory, Taurasi was introverted, per usual.
By midseason last year, Huskies fans wondered if Keith Price was going to get up.
Once he did, they wondered if he would go on.
Once he did, you wondered how much damage his knees suffered during his first spectacular year as Washingtons quarterback.
The autumn roars following touchdowns have been replaced by the rumble of dump trucks and whir of cranes.
The $250 million renovation of Husky Stadium has reached the end of the first quarter. According to Washington athletic director Scott Woodward, the news is very good.
Two damaged men entered CenturyLink Field Saturday.
Sounders speedster Steve Zakuani sat in the press box watching the man who broke his leg almost a year ago, do what he cant.
Adults have again colluded to short college athletes.
College coaches pushed a change the NCAA passed quietly last spring. April 10 is the new date underclassmen have to withdraw their name from draft consideration, in order to retain college eligibility.
Any surprise coaches and the NCAA wrangled April 10 into becoming D(ecision) Day for players should not exist. April 11 is the opening of the spring recruit-signing period. Hence, the self-serving alteration.
David Estrada has reached the point where he should be thankful his name does not rhyme with insanity.
Theres no contortion of "Estrada" to link him to the puns that trailed Jeremy Lins week-long burst of success for the New York Knicks.
Washington acted like a toddler in discovery much of the year.
Once upright, photos and applause resulted. Inevitably, progress was followed by a wobble and crash.
The largest flop came Selection Sunday when the Huskies were left out of the NCAA Tournament by a large margin. Washington was not rated the 69th best team in the country by the selection committee. Far from it.
The first person to yell about David Estrada being part of the Sounders was David Estrada.
In 2010, when the Sounders plucked him from UCLA with the 11th overall pick of the MLS SuperDraft, Estrada had just walked into his Salinas, Calif., home and hopped online.
The Sounders were about to select when Estrada hit the Internet. The next thing he heard was MLS Commissioner Don Garber saying his name.
Since being exiled to the National Invitation Tournament, Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar has told those listening it could be fun.
The players werent buying in at the start, and neither was the public. There was low attendance Tuesday against Texas-Arlington for a first-round win. The Huskies themselves went through the game will all the joy of test objects for an eye-poke device.
Marketing masterminds dubbed the Sounders fresh third kit Super Cyan. Inspired by the color palette in a bag of gum drops, the blue and sort of green was seemed old hat compared to other fresh starts Wednesday, since it had been previously worn in a training match in Cancun.
A party atmosphere enveloped Benaroya Hall on Wednesday night for the 77th Annual Sports Stars of the Year banquet. That fun around the games quickly turned dramatic early in the night.
Former Washington quarterback Jake Locker presented fellow Ferndale resident Jake Finkbonner with the Seattle Childrens Inspirational Youth Award. Finkbonners speech brought everyone to their feet, many with damp eyes.
Thats him?
Its a fair initial thought when seeing Jesus Montero walk into Benaroya Hall in street clothes Wednesday night for the 77th annual Sports Star of the Year awards event.
Montero looked like he could heading to a prom this spring. Hes baby-faced and laden with opposite-field power, a combination the Mariners hope grows up with the franchise.
After sending pitchers Michael Pineda and Jose Campos to the Yankees for catcher Montero and pitcher Hector Noesi, the Mariners hope they acquired the off-season bat that will help finally provide offense.
On one knee, head bowed and arm curled, Oregon coach Dana Altman was reduced to the position often reserved for national embarrassment: Tebowing.
Altman wasnt testing the power of prayer or performing a late-game homage to Denvers second coming. Though, if he checked in with the Almighty, his hopes went unanswered.
Instead, he glanced at the floor after yet another of C.J. Wilcoxs angelic 3-pointers went in, then turned to smack the undeserving Alaska Airlines Eskimo.
Tony Wroten turned the ball over on Washingtons first possession Thursday night.
Then, he thought what everyone else was thinking.
I was like, Oh, my God, here we go again Tony, Wroten said.
By Todd Dybas
SAN DIEGO A two-touchdown underdog to a team that beat them by five touchdowns earlier in the season came up with one of the great moments in University of Washington football history.
The duality of a veteran choke job is always surprising.
The experienced do not relinquish a 1-0 lead in a best-of-three series. Do not surrender and 18-point advantage in the deciding game. Do not wilt against a team it dominated for two years.
But such was the case for the always achieving Seattle Storm. The WNBAs defending champions were jettisoned into the offseason Monday night in KeyArena by a 77-75 loss to Phoenix in the Western Conference semifinals.
Multi-quarter bullying left Diana Taurasi in a repeat position.
The Phoenix star sat stoically in darkness during the Storms opening hoopla in KeyArena Thursday night. She sipped from a Gatorade cup with a towel across her lap. She was calm in the noise around her prior to tip-off.
About 90 minutes later, Taurasi sat in a neighboring bench seat, sipping from a Gatorade cup with a towel across her lap. Calm while the noise around her indicated the season slipping away.
Campers cut and dashed Monday at Lorenzo Romars Basketball Camp inside Hec Edmundson Pavilion. Finally, Washington point guard Abdul Gaddy doesnt have to watch with envy.
Gaddys slight scar on his left knee is the pressing reminder of his anterior cruciate ligament tear from January that ended his season. Well-padded crutches aided him through Hec Eds back halls a week after the injury.
Monday, he sat comfortably in the teams lounge following his coaching duties at the camp.
Talented, soft, unmotivated, out of shape. That was the reputation of Washington running back Chris Polk at the end of abysmal 2008.
It wasnt just message board chatter. Thats what the new Washington coaches were being told about Polk.

MyDS version 2.0 works on the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iTouch devices, Android phones and devices, Kindle Fire, and BlackBerry Touch devices running OS6 and above. MyDS will also work on your desktop/laptop with the Chrome and Safari browsers.
MyDS is not available in app stores — instead, use this link to access it: https://myds.nih.gov.
Access MyDS español
The Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) has developed a free mobile app for consumers called My Dietary Supplements (MyDS). MyDS gives you:
Simply enter the names and amounts of your dietary supplements, and they'll be stored for your use anytime, anywhere—for example, when seeing your doctor or shopping. With MyDS you also can email your personal list of dietary supplements to yourself or to your health care providers and print it out for reference.
MyDS is designed to work the same across all platforms and is particularly suited for touchscreen devices; so when you access the app from a non-touchscreen device, like a desktop or laptop computer using Chrome or Safari, use your mouse to scroll the page instead of your finger. Do this by clicking near the bottom of the page and dragging toward the top. You may also notice that the mouse cursor does not change when over a linked area; click the area anyway, and it will still work. If you continue to have difficulty, please contact application support for assistance.
The information you enter in the app is to provide you with the ability to maintain a mobile list of the products you take. Submission of your email address and password is voluntary and encrypted within the ODS database; however, in order for us to store data remotely so you can sync the MyDS data between your devices and ensure your data is retained in future versions, you will need to complete both fields. The notes field in the application is voluntary and you can choose how much detail to include. Collection of the information you supply in the app is authorized under 485C(c)(3) of Title IV of the PHS Act, § 287c–11. We collect no personal information about you, only general information automatically generated by your device for analyses that will be used to improve our services. We use this information for statistical analyses only.
Access MyDS at https://myds.nih.gov. MyDS is available in Spanish at https://myds.nih.gov/espanol.
On Apple devices we recommend you add the MyDS app to your home screen for easy access to the app. To add MyDS to your home screen, tap the button on the Safari toolbar and select 'Add to Home Screen.'

Getting Started
From Array Suite Wiki
Install Array Studio on Windows
Windows prerequisites: Microsoft .NET 2.0
From Internet Explorer (IE) browser, open the following link:
For Firefox or Chrome user, one needs to first install ClickOnce plugins.
- Plugin for FireFox:
- Plugin for Chrome Plugin:
For first time users, see How to activate your Array Studio.
Install Array Server On Linux
Before Installation
- Make sure you have some basic packages installed:
yum install gcc gcc-c++ bison pkgconfig libtool libstdc++-devel \ glib2-devel gettext make freetype-devel fontconfig-devel \ libXft-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel giflib-devel \ ghostscript-devel libexif-devel libX11-devel
- Install sqlite3, version 3.6.4 or higher is required.
- Install libgdiplus. Make sure libgdiplus library is on the shared library search paths. To check, type
$ ldconfig -p | grep libgdiplus libgdiplus.so (libc6,x86-64) => /opt/libgdiplus/lib/libgdiplus.so
Here the libgdiplus is installed at "/opt/libgdiplus" and has been set correctly. If not, one way to add it to the shared library path is by doing this (with root privilege),
echo "/opt/libgdiplus/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libgdiplus.conf ldconfig
Install mono
Install mono2
- Download Mono 2.10.9
cd /opt wget -c http://origin-download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.9.tar.bz2
The bz2 file can be saved to a temporary location, e.g. ~/temp/
- Extract and modify certificate if necessary
tar jxvf mono-2.10.9.tar.bz2 cd /opt/mono-2.10.9
For mono 2.10.9, it is recommended to modify X509Certificate to the latest standard.
- Compile and install. On the command line, type
cd /opt/mono-2.10.9 ./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-2.10.9 --with-large-heap=yes make make install
- The location of mono installed is set by the option "--prefix" in the configure step, which can be changed to another location.
- The option --with-large-heap=yes is to enable support for GC heaps larger than 3gb, which is required for NGS alignment, as well as some Array Server functions)
Double check mono installation and version
ls /opt/mono-2.10.9/bin/mono* -all /opt/mono-2.10.9/bin/mono --version /opt/mono-2.10.9/bin/mono-sgen --version
Install Mono 4.0.4

- Compile and install. On the command line, type
tar jxvf mono-184.108.40.206.tar.bz2 cd mono-4.0.4 ./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-4.0.4 --with-large-heap=yes make make install
- The location of mono installed is set by the option "--prefix" in the configure step, which can be changed to another location.
- The option --with-large-heap=yes is to enable support for GC heaps larger than 3gb, which is required for NGS alignment, as well as some Array Server functions)
Double check mono installation and version
ls /opt/mono-4.0.4/bin/mono* -all /opt/mono-4.0.4/bin/mono --version /opt/mono-4.0.4/bin/mono-sgen --version
Install Array Server
Download Array Server
Assume we would like to install the Array Server under the directory /opt
- On command line, type
mkdir /opt/array-server cd /opt/array-server wget -c http://www.omicsoft.com/software_update/OmicsoftUpdater.exe
- Next, create an empty file named ArrayServerLinuxBeta.exe by typing
touch ArrayServerLinuxBeta.exe
- Then, type
mono OmicsoftUpdater.exe
Configuration Files
- This file is required if this is a single server setup (i.e. no analytic server attached to this server), or the current server is used as a master server.
- A sample ArrayServer.cfg for a single server setup.
- A sample ArrayServer.cfg for a master server setup. In this example, a network drive folder has been mounted at the same path "/media/IData" on both the master and analytic servers.
- Note: If you right click to download the sample files, it should be named as ArrayServer.cfg (not .txt).
- A few key options are :
- BaseDirectory
- This will be the working directory of the array server, storing all the raw and prossessed data. Depending on the projects, it can take huge amount of disk space.
- TempDirectory
- This should be a local directory (i.e. NOT a network drive) for fast read and write access. It can take twice the size of an unzipped fastq file in some NGS tasks (we would suggest use a drive with at least 100GB storage).
- OmicsoftDirectory
- This directory can sit locally or on a network drive. All the reference genomes, gene models, Affymetrix CDF files, log files, etc. are stored in this folder.
- BaseDirectory
- The Folder section defines additional local or network folders monitored and available for access by array server users.
- For a full list of options, see ArrayServer.cfg.
- This file is required if the current server is an analytic server. Note that if you right click to download the sample files, it should be named as AnalyticServer.cfg.
- A sample AnalyticServer.cfg for an analytic server setup.
- Please follow the similar guideline above in setting the BaseDirectory and other related directory options.
default.template and sample.template
A sample sample.template file.
A sample default.template file.
Start Running Array Server
- One can start the server by using the run-omicsoft.sh script (recommended), or start it directly as this.
- For single server setup, run
export PATH=/opt/mono-2.10.9/bin:$PATH cd /opt/array-server mono-sgen ArrayServerLinuxBeta.exe > log &
- For master-analytic server setup, start the master server first and then the analytic server by running the same command above (See also Master and Analytic Servers).
- Connect the server (through Array Studio or Array Viewer) by typing in the server (or master server) address (e.g., tcp://192.168.1.103:8065). In some cases, if you have problems in connecting to the server, please check the firewall settings on your computer.
NOTE: For additional information on server administration, such as stopping or updating array server, see Running Array Server in Linux
Install Array Server On Windows
Running Array Server in Windows
Test Your Installation
Add this small test bam file: Illumina.Paired.bam to genome browser Human37.3 (for instructions to create new genome browser, see New Browser).
Install OShell
Install OShell on Linux
- Assume mono (version 2.10.9 preferred) has been installed in /opt/mono-2.10.9/ (see mono installation help). Here we install oshell in the home directory.
mkdir ~/oshell cd ~/oshell wget -c http://www.omicsoft.com/software_update/OmicsoftUpdater.exe touch oshell.exe /opt/mono-2.10.9/bin/mono OmicsoftUpdater.exe
- One way to run oshell is as this (Usually you would wrap the commands below in a bash script).
export PATH=/opt/mono-2.10.9/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mono-2.10.9/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH mono ~/oshell/oshell.exe --runscript OmicSoftBaseDir MyOShellScript MyTempDir
Running OShell
OShell Script Example
example.rna.pe.oscript: Oshell script for Paired end RNASeq alignment.
Note that one has to modify this file by setting the correct input and output file locations.
One can run the script as this:
mono ~/oshell/oshell.exe --runscript ~/OmicsoftHome example.rna.pe.oscript ~/temp
OShell Documentation
For details about OShell, see OShell User Guide.
Tips: OShell scripts can be obtained by clicking "Show Script" button in Array Studio (right after the parameter specification).

At home, Chelsea and Adam discuss his undead dad. She compares how messed up their families are, but she's happy that their baby will have another grandparent.
What's Next For Us?
Lauren's worst fears seem fulfilled, Sharon wants to fight and Victor's feeling generous.
Victor kisses Nikki awake in bed. She sighs and they snog. They head downstairs and she wonders why Sharon didn't redecorate the joint. "What's next for us?" she asks. She doesn't want to waste more time. He tells her everyone makes mistakes and he's sorry for the pain he caused. Nikki recaps what happened with Sharon and how his kids protected the company. He wants to repay his daughter. Later, Adam shows up. Victor's gone. Nikki offers to take a message. He walks out instead, just as Nick arrives. He tells his mom Sharon is still at the ranch.
At Billy's, Kevin tells him to suck it up and tell his wife what he knew. Vikki overhears and prods. Billy avoids explaining. She bustles off. Kev tells him he's an idiot and leaves. Victor calls his daughter and asks to meet. Billy anxiously wants to tell her something but the baby starts crying. Moments later, the mustache arrives. Vikki comes down with the baby and says they should all make peace. Billy is antsy. Victor thanks his daughter for being so loyal and asks her to stay at the company. She needs to think about it but she's glad he's back. After Vikki and the kids go upstairs, Billy wonders what Victor's plan is. Victor changed his opinion of him after what happened in LA. He just wants to keep his daughter happy now. After he leaves, Billy cuddles with his wife and tells her he's okay with her working at Newman if it makes her happy.
Sharon's surprised when her mom shows up at her door and tells her to pack her bags. Sharon says 'no' so her mom tells her she doesn't fit in there. Doris wonders why she isn't sick of hurting the Newmans. They bicker about it. Doris takes the blame for her daughter being so warped. Sharon won't let Victor and the others screw her over again. "I want to make them pay," she declares. Her mom leaves her a key to her place in case she changes her mind. Soon, Nikki arrives. She suggests that Sharon find somewhere far away to live and offers to pay her off. Sharon can't be bought. "Since when?" asks Nikki. Sharon warns that Victor is in store for a surprise.
Nikki heads back to her house in a rage. Victor is home already. He opens the mail and discovers that Sharon is suing him for abandonment. Furious, he calls Michael to launch a case against Sharon.
At the club, Michael reminds his wife that Sheila is dead. He gets a call about the handwriting. Paul arrives just in time to hear the results are inconclusive. Lauren is still creeped out. Michael has to run. Paul gets a text that the doc is back at Fairview.
Genevieve corners Tucker and the club and wonders where her latest payment is. He says she betrayed him. Jack strolls by and snipes at them. She's impressed he can walk again. Jack sends her away and asks Tucker to sell him back Beauty of Nature. They bicker about it and Jack threatens to call the SEC. Tucker still refuses. Gen eavesdrops and her eyes dart around. Later, Nick arrives to see Tucker. He wants Beauty of Nature. Tucker has a drink and says that is never going to happen.
Genevieve shows up at the Abbott house and offers to help Jack get Beauty of Nature back.
Michael and Kev meet at Crimson Lights. The lawyer fills him in about Daisy disappearing and offers his speculation on what happened.
At Fairview, Paul and Lauren arrive to ask Dr. Laurents about the woman who picked up Daisy. He can't ID the pictures of Sheila or Phyllis. Michael and Kev arrive with an order for the security footage. Lauren repeats to herself that it can't have been Sheila. The footage arrives and they watch it as Paul goes down the hall to talk to Patty. She asks her stuffed cat who helped Daisy leave. That doesn't pan out. Patty tells the cat that everyone will see she's not crazy. When Paul returns to the others, Lauren is freaking out, sure that it is Sheila in the video.
Genoa City Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Young and the Restless:
The cops go looking for Sharon.
"Your word against mine? I like those odds," Tucker tells Jack and Genevieve.
"How did you and I ever get so far off course?" Victor asks Nikki.

Turning 30 ... it's the new crisis time for modern women
FIFTY might be the new 40 and 30 the new 20, but for many women, their 30th birthday is one of the scariest.
In fact, a new study has found that many women see a window between age 20 and 30 when they believe they are in their prime.
More than 2000 women were polled in the survey, which revealed that after spending their teens trying to look older than they really were, women finally were happy with their appearance in their early 20s.
But at 29 - the same age as Miranda Kerr and Pippa Middleton - that all changed and they became more concerned about trying to look young again.
A third of women surveyed said they worried their bottom would "head south" while 29% wanted to avoid a wrinkly cleavage.
Other aging concerns included facial hair, middle-aged spread and thread veins along with double chins, age spots, wrinkly hands and thinning lips.
But try telling that to Coast friends Laura Vaisnys and Heidi Davis who have hit 30 with gusto.
"During my teenage years, I was like everybody else - packing on the make-up to try to seem older, more beautiful," Laura said.
"I turned 30 earlier this week and I had one moment the day before my birthday where I worried about all that, but I think for me there was more pressure in the early 20s to look great.
"Now that I am in my 30s I feel better and look better than 10 years ago as I have embraced getting older.
"I'm happy with my flaws.
"Sure, I have used anti-aging cream since I was a teenager, but I don't use that as much now as I did then."
Laura and Heidi celebrated their birthdays within a week of each other and Laura said they felt aging wasn't about appearances.
"We both feel now that as we are getting older, we should concentrate more on eating healthy and leading a healthier lifestyle," Laura said.
"I exercise more now than I did in my 20s and I have never felt better.
"I have embraced turning 30 and feel more comfortable in my own skin now than 10 years ago.
"I spent so much money when I was younger on making myself look beautiful, but now I love the natural look.
"I will embrace getting older but that's not to say I won't make minor adjustments to help keep a glow."
I'm turning 25 next year and I worry about getting older. I worry that I won't find someone I want to have children with before I'm 30, when my fertility will decline. I think it is a concern for women in their 20s now because these days we're doing things in life a lot later like studying, starting and establishing careers, settling down, buying a house, getting married and starting a family! - Sam Anderson
I turn 30 in July next year and no I haven't changed I don't think about that at all I must be behind the times crikey maybe I should. - Pauline Lenuzza
I think a lot of women look their best after 30ish - Barb Maloney-Reid


text: A week ago my 03 530i suffered a seized engine/billowing clouds of white smoke out the exhaust after about 3 minutes from a cold start in a cold outdoor garage. Had it towed to my trusted service shop - which is not Tulley BMW here in Nashua NH. They promptly diagnosed it as a failure of the oil separator (all the oil was at the top of the engine - none below). Found and installed an engine ($5800). We're now trying to burn off all the oil that's in the exhaust system... Discovered that there is a Service Bulletin for all M54 Engine models (at http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=210092&d=1259409341 ). Note that this states that "complete engine failure" is a possible outcome. There is a kit that fixes the problem for the M54 Engine. BMW USA was less than helpful - but stated that had I taken it to the dealer they "might have been able to do something". I find this position beyond absurd -- since in order to know that the cause of the problem was this design defect, the engine has to be in the dis-assembly process. I'd strongly suggest folks that live in the cold with M54's get this kit installed. Given this is a known failure with an engineered correction, I strongly believe BMW had a duty to let the owners know about this. I've filed a complaint with the NTSB, will file one with NH's Consumer Protection agency, alerted Consumer reports, and am considering legal action. Any other thoughts? Dennis (Who is driving an 08 M3/our 5th BMW - and before this incident would not have considered driving anything but a BMW...) PS: This service bulletin appears to have been issued in December of 2003! http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-206667.html

Fed Cup tennis comes to Phuket
PATONG: A 4,000-seat tennis court will be built in Patong so that Phuket can host one of the Group II quarterfinals of the premier international women's tennis competition, the Federation Cup, between Thailand and Croatia, on April 23 and 24.
The Federation Cup is an annual team tennis competition. After round-robin play last year between 88 countries, 16 teams have won places in the quarterfinals, eight playing in Group I and the other eight in Group II.
Thailand and Croatia are in Group II of the contest, along with Switzerland, the Slovak Republic, Germany, Indonesia, the Czech Republic and Japan. In 22 years of competing in the cup, this is the first time that Thailand has made it into the final 16.
Thai players Tamarine Tanasugarn, Napaporn Tongsalee, Suchanun Viratprasert and Monthinee Tangpong, are due to compete against Ivana Abramovic, Ivana Lisjak, Jelena Kostanic, Matea Mezak and Darija Jurak.
Thailand won all its matches in preliminary rounds, beating China, the Philippines, New Zealand, India and Australia to take a place in the final eight of the competition's Group II.
Under the complex rules of the Fed Cup, as it is known, Croatia played only two preliminary tournaments to go into the Group II quarter-finals. The Croatians beat Brazil, but lost to Belgium.
The Patong tournament promises to be close; Croatia is currently ranked 13th overall in the Feb Cup rankings, just one place ahead of Thailand.
It had been suggested that the matches be played on a temporary court built on Patong's Loma Park soccer pitch, but authorities decided instead to build the 60-by-80-meter hard court on spare land near the pitch.
Songsak Kitakarnkul, Chief of the Phuket office of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), told the Gazette that construction of the court would start on April 4 and should be completed in two weeks.
It has not yet been decided whether the court will be permanent or whether it will be removed after the tournament.
He said that the court itself would cost around 700,000 baht to create, and the seating area around 4,000 baht, but the total budget for staging the event will be around eight million baht.
K. Songsak said it was hoped the tournament will help in the recovery of tourism, and could lead to more such events being held here.
"This could be Phuket's chance to show it is capable of hosting big [tennis] events, such as the Thailand Open," he said.
The matches in Patong will take place between 10 am and 6 pm on both days. Organizers have yet to decide whether there will be an admission charge for spectators. For more information contact the SAT, Phuket, at Tel: 076-250110.

Man's body discovered hanged in a Phuket Town apartment
A man has been found hanged in Phuket Town apartment yesterday. Police are treating the cases as a suicide at the moment.
The man was found hanged from the apartment's ceiling fan. His lifeless body was discovered around 11am after neighbours complained to the manager about the smell coming from the man's room.
Police and the local Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers attended the scene. Police later confirmed the incident happened in room on the 3rd floor of an apartment lock in Soi Phoonphol Soi 1, Talat Nuea in Phuket Town. Police said the man was 35-45 years of age and had a 29 year old girlfriend from Chumphon. He was paying 1,000 baht a month and had been renting the room for 2 months. Police estimate that the man had been dead for at least 3 days.
Police told media that the man had used, what appeared to be a dress, tied around his neck and then to the room's roof fan. The apartment manager told police that he had been late on on his recent rent, speculating that the man may have been suffering financial hardship.
The man's identity has not been released at this stage.
His body was taken to Vachira Hospital for an autopsy.

Bangkok Airways add 3 new local routes to their schedule
Some domestic routes are being added as local routes continue to expand. This time Bangkok Airways has announced it's resuming its Samui-Phuket, Phuket-Hat Yai and Phuket-Pattaya/Rayong (U-Tapao) flights.
The first additions to the schedule will be the Phuket-Samui flights resuming this Sunday, October 25, and the Phuket-Pattaya flights start again next Tuesday, October 27. The Phuket-Samui flights will be operating on Sundays and Wednesdays only on the airlines' ATR72 turbo prop regional planes, same as before.
A casual search on the Bangkok Airways website, for a return flight from Phuket to Samui on November 1, then back to Phuket on November 8 indicates the cheapest fare (promo) is 2,430 baht. Coming back, the cheapest fare we found, again labelled 'promo', was 2,630 baht. Bangkok Airways operate as a "full service" airline and don't compete with the country's discount airlines. But they operate these three routes exclusively – like it or leave it.
Bangkok Airways say that the flights will be operated "with the highest preventive measures and standards". Around the country the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand have eased a few of the onboard restrictions, including the start of catering services which were originally banned under the initial flight rules when domestic routes started flying again at the start of July.
The daily direct services between Phuket and Hat Yai are also being operated on the ATR72 aircraft. The flight to Ha Yai leaves Phuket at 8.40am and arrives at Hat Yai at 9:.45am. The return flights leave Hat Yai back to Phuket at 10.25am each day. The route was very popular for the airline before the 'disruption' when airlines had their fleets grounded in April.
The service between Phuket and U-Tapao, linking the party city with the party island, will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, again with the ATR72. Phuket to U-Tapao will leave at 12.10pm and then from U-Tapao to Phuket at 4pm on the three days. U-Tapao is about a 50 minute drive from Pattaya and the airport also serves the greater Rayong area.Keep in contact with The Thaiger by following our Facebook page.

4 billion baht medical hub planned for Phuket
Phuket officials are setting aside around 4 billion baht to transform medical tourism in the southern province of Phuket, by developing a state-of-the-art treatment hub in the north of the island. The Bangkok Post reports that the Treasury department is planning to give the Public Health Ministry permission to use 141 rai of government land in the sub-district of Mai Khao, close to Phuket International Airport. It's not the first time the proposal has come to light.
The concept is gathering support as Phuket battles to diversify its attraction beyond a tropical holiday island.
The aim is to develop Phuket as a world-class health and wellness destination, with facilities that will attract medical tourists from all over the world, as well as providing a high standard of treatment to the local population. It's understood the facility will provide a full range of health services, including long-term care, and hospice and rehabilitation services.
The island already has a well-developed medical tourism market, but has been based around local hospitals and clinics linking up with foreign marketing companies in the past. "The International Medical and Public Health Service" has been conceived to create more long term financial security and diversification, and value-added tourism in Phuket, as the island has taken a heavy financial hit over the past 7 months.

The plan was first suggested in 2017, by then governor, Noraphat Plodthong and confirmed by the director of Phuket's Vachira Hospital, Dr. Chalermpong Sukontapol, in July. At that stage, the estimated budget was 3-4 billion baht. The director-general of the Treasury department, Yuthana Yimkarun, says the plot is being offered to the Health Ministry for free. The land is thought be worth around 1 billion baht.
Yuthana says the ministry will manage investment, with approximately 2 billion baht required for the first stage of the project. Construction of the facility is expected to be completed over 2 years.
Meanwhile, it's understood that unused government land that is currently managed by various government agencies may be moved under the remit of central government, with a view to increasing its worth. According to the Bangkok Post report, just 4% of government land is directly managed by the Treasury. The other 96% is controlled by various government agencies. Yuthana says the plan is to increase the percentage of state-owned land under the Treasury's management to 10% within 2 years.

DWTS Season 11 – Another Rumor Gets a Bit More Solid
🙂 And that rumor is Landon Donovan. Another interesting non-denial. From Ryan Seacrest via Soccer Fanhouse:
In an interview Wednesday with Ryan Seacrest, Donovan avoided giving a definitive answer. When asked about the show, Donovan quipped, "You haven't seen me dance, have you? … My only hope is that they don't find a picture of me dancing somewhere in Vegas. That could be brutal."
But don't rule the L.A. Galaxy star out just yet. He certainly seemed amenable to the possibility.
"I've seen how many people watch the show," Donovan said.
"I think my only request would be to get one of the really hot dancer girls," Donovan said. "Those girls are so hot, and they're so fit."

|Monday April 24th 1876 My Dear Son I feel obliged to call or you again for money to settle my months board here past due I had a letter for Saml, dated the 20th Inst, but he did not send me any money said in a letter of the 5th Inst, that he would send some as often as he could, he is still at work on the Lodge, said he would finish it in about a month & then he would come to see me, and take a look in Willis to see what he could do here. I have written to him stating what I thought he could do here advising him to come and see for himself, Mr Potter told me a short time since that in about a month they would need more hands & that no doubt Sam would be able to get work to do at the new Factory & Mill that would suit him. I laid the plan of him & I having a home here together, he expressed himself ------------------------------------------------------- well pleased at the idea of being with me and his child. And said that if he had money sufficient to purchase a lot & build on it that he could go right to work, I have explained to him how a lot or lots can be purchased or leased with very little money and Doct. Jordan thinks he Sam could get the land all on time by putting up a house on the land &c &c. The projections of the factory intend putting up a large two story building near the Machine Shop for a boarding house for their hands. And it is said that they will need near a hundred hands to to carry on the work of the establishment. What do you think of his coming here on the plan above mentioned. I seems to me we could be a mutual help to each other, Sam needs some one to help him along & no one could be more useful to him than I can, as he is willing to be advised by me about anything or so I think. In case this becomes the Co. Seat which is considered a thing certain at no dis -tant day the town will receive new ------------------------------------------------------------------ and greater advantages & even without the Co. seat it is bound I think to be a very considerable place. This $20.000 dollar Machine shop of its- self will help build it up The 21st of April called up many recollections within the last forty years, it seemed to me impossible to think of any thing else for several days past; I would in spit[e] of my efforts to the contrary contrast my situation then & now, and could but think that I for one had "fought bled & died" for little purpose . Well what is the fate of our claim have you given it up?? I suppose Miss Mary Ashe has told you that Gaston had been here again and that about the last of this Month he expected to come in for me with his wagon Mrs. Jordan wished you to ask Mary to get her a bottle of shoe polish, she will know what it is It is much [ ] & more convenient that the blacking in boxes. I will let the fraction of the months board stand until I am ready to leave as I do not know when precisely I will get off ------------------------------------------------------------- I have had to borrow three dollars from Mrs. Jordan send that much over the amount for board I saw by the Papers you sent me last that Judge Jones had organized his court &c &c Well my Dear Son be faithful to this important trust as it will inevitably lead to something of still greater importance; I feel both blessed and honored in having such a Son. Your success my dear child makes many sunny spots in my dreary lonely life . I am very well with kind regards to Mr Ashes family. Tell Miss Mary we miss her very much Affectionately ever Your Mother Mary Jones. Yesterday I read the Gov. message "plum through"

We've heard some fucked-up rationales for infidelity, but this one, via Babble, takes the cake.
Here's the deal: this woman - a friend-of-a-friend of the author's - is unhappy in her marriage. But because she's got kids, and kids "need a father," she's lining up a new one before the divorce. Says Babble's Jeanne Sager,
But what does this teach your kids? That it's OK to lie? That your daughters need to have a man around at all times. . . and at all costs? The idea that a woman needs to have a man is as outdated as that old quote about fish and bicycles. So too is the idea that a single parent can't provide for a child what a couple can - or that, say, two lesbians can't provide for a child what a heterosexual couple can.
Also...their father's still going to exist, right? I mean, does he need a "replacement?" And won't having a brand-new daddy be kind of...jarring? Sager adds that kids won't learn anything about the realities of divorce this way: that sometimes things don't work out and life goes on. Obviously, this plan is, to say the least, flawed, and it doesn't exactly need us pointing that out. If this is for real, the kids are going to have bigger issues than understanding what constitutes a typical divorce. "I cheated on your father for you" will make for a hefty therapist's bill, to say the least. So: we are going to go on the assumption that this is an isolated situation and not a standard rationale for unhappy people who are afraid of being alone. Because otherwise it's going to be really hard to get through the week.
Would you Cheat FOR the Kids? [Babble]
