Paracelsus (1493-1541)
Portrait Presumed to be Paracelsus (1493-1541), by Quentin Metsys . . . — Buy this art print at AllPosters.
The name coined for himself by the German physician and alchemist Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, who was born in Einsieden, Switzerland.
Paracelsus was a medical reformer who introduced a new concept of disease and the use of chemical medicines. He studied at several Italian universities and began to practice medicine and surgery in the 1520s.
A difficult personality, Paracelsus created controversy because of his wholesale condemnation of traditional science and medicine. He never obtained a secure academic position or permanent employment.
Paracelsus's new concept of disease emphasized its causes to be external agents that attack the body, contrary to the traditional idea of disease as an internal upset of the balance of the body's humors (yellow bile, black bile, blood and phlegm). Therapy, according to Paracelsus, was to be directed against these agents of disease, and for this he advocated the use of chemicals rather than herbs.
Alchemy became the means of preparing such chemicals; in this way Paracelsus changed the emphasis of the alchemical art from chasing the elusive Elixir of Life or Philosopher's Stone, to making medicines.
In his "Biographia Antiqua", Francis Barrett appends to the name of Paracelsus the following titles of distinction:
"The Prince of Physicians and Philosophers by Fire; Grand Paradoxical Physician; The Trismegistus of Switzerland; First Reformer of Chymical Philosophy; Adept in Alchymy, Cabala, and Magic; Natures Faithful Secretary; Master of the Elixir of Life and The Philosophers Stone, and the Great Monarch of Chymical Secrets."

As promised, here's a write up the last located sibling for Joseph Plenzler, Kunegunda. I tried to look up the name Kunegunda because it's a pretty unusual name–at least for me. Never heard of it until I encountered Joseph's sister. All I could find was this from catholic.org. So it's pretty obvious Kunegunda didn't get the name from being born on July 24, all records I could locate place her birth as March 22, 1872. I then posted a question to Ask Sister Mary Martha. She seems to be knowledgeable about such things, so maybe she'll be able to provide some insight. (Now back to our regularly scheduled post. I tend to be interested in some of the odder trivia of genealogy such as answering questions like "Why in the world would a parent give their child THAT name?")
Kunegunda arrived in the US in Baltimore on June 15, 1892. The manifest seems to indicate that she traveled alone, there are no other Plenzlers or other related family names that I can recognized on this manifest. She was 22 and single and her final destination is listed as Indiana. So she was heading to be with her sisters in South Bend.
Kungunda married Stanislaw (Stanley) Zalas on January 16, 1892 in St. Hedwig's Parish in South Bend, Indiana per the South Bend Area Genealogical Society. (Contact the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library.) The 1900 census shows that Kunegunda and Stephen had four children:
- Piotr (age 6)
- Stanislaw (age 5)
- Zofia (age 4)
- Jadwiga (age 8 months)
By the 1920 census, the family added five more children:
- Hattie (age 19)
- George (age 17)
- Jacob (age 13)
- Verna (age 9)
- Klara (age 4 or 5, the census noted the age as 4 12/12 months)
I have little further data on this family. Per Kunegunda's obituary, Stanislaw died in 1950. Kunegunda died in 1953. Her obituary was published in the South Bend Tribune on November 19, 1953 and is obtainable through the South Bend Library and I've transcribed it below:
Mrs. Kunegunda Zalas, 714 South Brookfield St. Died at 7:30 PM Saturday in St. Joseph Hospital after four weeks illness. She was born in Poland March 22, 1872, and came here 65 years ago from that country. She was married here 62 years ago to Stanley Zalas, who died in 1950. Surviving are four sons; Peter, Stanley Jr., Albert and James; and three daughters, Mrs. Sophia Jaronik, Mrs. Verna Caplin and Mrs. Clara Gapinski, all of South Bend; 24 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. Friends may call in the Kaniewski Chapel after 6 PM today and the funderal at 9 am Tuesday in St. Adalbert's Church, with Rev. Ignatius J. Capczynski, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.

PARIS (AP) — Paris prosecutors on Friday began investigating whether the winning presidential campaign of former President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007 may have received illegal funding from Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's regime.
The judicial investigation doesn't specify any suspect by name and centers on allegations of corruption, influence trafficking, forgery, abuse of public funds and money laundering, according to Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman with the Paris prosecutors' office.
The probe is based on claims by Lebanese businessman Ziad Takieddine during questioning by officials in December, she said. Allegations of Libyan financing for Sarkozy's campaign first emerged in French media last year in the waning days of his losing re-election bid against Socialist Francois Hollande — now France's president.
Sarkozy is facing other scrutiny of judicial investigators over the financing of his 2007 campaign. Last month, a Bordeaux judge filed preliminary charges against him over allegations that Sarkozy had illegally taken donations from France's richest woman in the 2007 election cycle.
Sarkozy has denied any wrongdoing. A phone message left for Sarkozy's lawyer wasn't immediately returned Friday.
The investigative news Web site Mediapart, which has broken news on a string of high-profile recent scandals in France, reported last year it had evidence that Gadhafi had offered campaign funds to Sarkozy. Prosecutors began investigating the publication after Sarkozy filed a suit against Mediapart for "forgery" and "publication of false news" last year — and the site's managers countersued for alleged slander.
Sarkozy had an up-and-down relationship with Gadhafi. Early in his five-year tenure, Sarkozy invited the Libyan leader to France for a state visit, but he put France in a key position in the NATO-led airstrikes against Gadhafi's troops that helped rebel fighters topple his regime in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring uprisings.

G7422, Reviewed June 2010
There are several types of beetles that damage wood used for construction. They are commonly placed into three main groups: powderpost beetles, round-headed borers and flat-headed borers. These three groups include beetles from five scientific families: Lyctidae, Bostrichidae, Anobiidae, Cerambycidae and Buprestidae (Figure 1). Most species are less than 6mm (1/4 inch) long, but a few reach 25 mm (1 inch) in length. Some of the differences between these beetle families are shown in Table 1.
Figure 1
Wood-damaging beetles: adults, top, and larvae, bottom. Left to right: Lyctid, Bostrichid, Anobiid, Cerambycid (old house borer), Buprestid.
Table 1
Characteristics of wood-damaging beetles.
Wood infested with wood-boring beetles has numerous "shot holes" in the surface. Small pieces of sawdust (frass) produced by the larvae as they tunnel may sift from the holes when the wood is bumped or disturbed. Cutting into the infested wood often reveals many tunnels filled with frass. Characteristics of the frass and the tunnel system vary between different wood-boring beetle species.
Subflooring, hardwood flooring, interior trim, joists, sills and especially beams are subject to attack. Other wood products, such as hardwood furniture, implement handles and ladders, may also be attacked. Log houses are especially vulnerable. Vacation or recreation structures are also more prone to beetle attack because they often have higher moisture content in the wood due to intermittent heating or poor ventilation.
The amount of damage caused by wood-boring beetles will vary based on the species of beetle and their unique feeding and egg-laying preferences. Damage weakens structural timbers and results primarily from the feeding activities of the beetle larvae.
The stages in the life cycle of wood-boring beetles are illustrated in Figure 2. Young beetle larvae hatch from eggs, burrow into wood, and begin feeding. The larvae of different wood-boring beetle species differ in size and shape (Figure 1), but most larvae are yellowish white with dark mandibles (jaws). The strong jaws enable the larvae to construct tunnels as they feed on starch and other compounds within the wood. Wood-damaging beetle larvae often go unnoticed because they feed beneath the surface of the wood and their tunnels are not visible. Feeding tunnels vary in size and shape according to species, and can be distinguished from other types of insect damage (e.g., termites, carpenter ants). The time required for the larvae to complete their development varies from a few months to several years, depending on the species and the availability of food and moisture in the wood.
Figure 2
Wood-damaging beetles spend most of their life cycle in the larval stage, in which the damage occurs.
When beetle larvae have completed their development inside the wood, they pupate. The pupal stage is an inactive developmental period. The pupae eventually change into adult beetles that bore holes to the outside of the wood. The size and shape of these exit holes vary between species (Table 1). Soon after emerging from the wood, adult beetles mate and the newly mated females search for suitable sources of wood in which to lay their eggs. The female often tastes the wood to determine whether suitable levels of starch and moisture exist. Some groups of beetles prefer hardwoods while others prefer softwoods. Most wood-boring species lay eggs only on wood before it is seasoned and processed, but a few species will lay eggs on seasoned lumber.
Preventing a wood-boring beetle infestation is not always possible because of the hidden feeding activities of the larvae. However, you can reduce the threat of infestation by using seasoned lumber in construction and inspecting lumber and other wood items before purchase. Sealing exposed wood surfaces with a protective layer of polyurethane, varnish, or paint will also prevent the egg-laying activities of species that can reinfest structural timbers. In addition, firewood should be de-barked, stored outside, and only brought into the home immediately before use.
Reducing moisture levels in structural wood also helps prevent wood-boring beetle infestations. Good ventilation in attics and crawlspaces, in addition to consistent heating and cooling, will maintain wood moisture levels below that required for growth and development of beetle larvae.
Nonchemical control
The use of heat is effective in controlling populations of wood-boring beetles. The temperature of the wood must be maintained at 120 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes to kill all of the active stages.
Chemical control
It is possible to treat infestations in unfinished wood with an insecticide (Table 2). Insecticides should be applied as coarse sprays, or with a paintbrush. Make a second application before the first is completely dry. This works out to be approximately 1 gallon of finished solution per 100 square feet of wood surface. Since the insecticide penetrates only the outer surface, this type of treatment is designed to kill adults as they emerge from the wood, rather than the larvae that are feeding within the wood.
Finished wood can also be treated if you remove the finish, treat the wood as above, and then refinish. If it is not possible or desirable to remove the finish, treat the existing exit holes, open joints and crevices between boards with an insecticide. A hypodermic needle is useful for slowly injecting diluted insecticide into the exit holes. When treating cracks, crevices and exit holes, repeated applications should be made over a period of several days.
A pest control professional can be helpful in controlling infestations of wood-boring beetles if there is a severe infestation throughout the structure. However, this process is expensive. The pest control operator may be able to place smaller items, such as pieces of furniture, in a fumigation chamber at a more reasonable cost. Fumigants available to the PCO for this purpose include methyl bromide and sulfuryl fluoride.
Before using any chemical, read the label carefully for directions on application procedures, appropriate rate, first aid, storage and disposal. Make sure that the chemical is properly registered for use on the intended pest.

Glad that I was research in many type of anime before.(I'm used to write a blog about it.)
Well, it still rarely to see people who have the same level and watch many non-mainstream anime like me in real life.They read manga more.T^T

To a person I've just met, I won't tell right away.
But eventually the truth will come out. I often tell a person after knowing for a week or two. With a quick but semi-detailed explanation on the kinds of anime that I like (True Tears, Madoka Magica, etc.).
All people who work at the office where I work know I'm an anime fan.

I talk about it like any other hobby, which is to say I'll mention it, but unless the person I'm talking to is interested about it specifically, I don't go into detail. There's also a big difference between the "watch one show a year" fan and the "anime is my life" fan.

Only if the subject come up in a conversation, but if there my friend or becoming my friend sooner or later they will find out I love anime.
And no, I don't tell people I watch Shounen ai or anything related or similar because most of my family would question me, since most of them are religious >_< but my intermediate family kind likes anime because of me though lols

It's not the type of thing that naturally comes up in conversation.
"Is Brees going to pull a Chris Johnson?"
"Who cares? More importantly, guys, by the way, I watch anime."
But, I certainly don't hide it if people are over at my place hanging out, and have turned plenty of my male friends on to anime over the years. Some popular gateway shows that have tended to get friends of mine interested enough to seek out anime on their own are:
Black Lagoon
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Outlaw Star
Eureka Seven
It's especially a good idea not to start off with anime that kind of requires having some otaku knowledge to 'get'.
Interestingly, I don't believe I've ever turned a female friend over to anime. At least, not seriously. I don't really count those who've gone on to watch only Gibhli shows as having turned on to anime, for instance. Most of my moderately serious girlfriends over the years have at least tried to get into it, to humor me if nothing else, but while some have enjoyed a show here and there, I don't believe any ever got to the point where they'd go and watch any on their own. Which is fine. They suffer with a smile through marathoning Macross with me. I suffer with a smile Gilmore Girls marathons.
I have, however, and continue to have, female friends who were already into anime before I met them.
I'm not sure if there's something to be read into that.

If you walk in my house you see my Anime cels and posters. You go in my basement you see 15 pachinko machines with anime themes. You see my 100s and 100s of anime dvds, you see my Anime OSTs and posters. When people ask me what I like I tell them. :-)
I get called a freak of nature. That works for me :-) My 19 year old daughter will always think that but she forgets how she use to watch Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, Wedding Peach as well as Sailormoon...

Oh yeah, I do. It's nothing I feel the need to hide or feel nervous about when bringing it up in a conversation.
Of course, I don't talk about it daily to others. If people go "What are you up to" I say "I'm just watching some anime" or if they ask "What kind of things do you like?" and i'll happily reply "I enjoy watching anime". I wont necessarily bring it up randomly to start a conversation or small talk, because I know that most of the people around me aren't into anime (Unfortunately)

Copenhagen is a magical place, the capital of Denmark, and one of the happiest cities on the planet. A beautiful blend of classic historic buildings with ultra modern architecture creatures a unique cityscape that begs to be explored. Experience the warmth of the Danish people as you ride around on top of a bicycle past canals, self-governing communes, and Michelin star restaurants. Once just a little fishing village, it has since grown to be an incredibly cosmopolitan city, the seat of the Danish monarchy, a centre of design, and (though it might not seem like it in the dark of winter) one of the happiest places in the world.
Where to Stay
Copenhagen is a major tourist centre and, as such, there are many rental options available. Copenhagen rentals range from private rooms, to bed and breakfasts, to convenient fully furnished self-catering apartments. Hotels can be impersonal, characterless, and downright expensive. Why waste your money on a room with just a coffee maker and a minibar, when you can have an entire apartment all to yourself, with a full kitchen, for less money? Whip up your favourite meal instead of ordering room service and save even more. By booking with Wimdu, you will find yourself immersed in the city, staying among - and sometimes directly with - the people that make this city what it is.
Fun Facts
- Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia. About 30% of the Danish population lives there.
- There are 340 km of cycling lanes in Copenhagen.
- In 2007, Copenhagen was voted the world's happiest city.
- The world's longest pedestrian shopping street is in Copenhagen.
- Copenhagen has 12 Michelin rated restaurants.
Things to See and Do
Copenhagen has a wealth of museums, cool neighbourhoods, and fascinating architecture. For an art fan, it really is a great place to visit. The Danish National Gallery, Arken Museum of Modern Art, and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, offer a huge selection of wonderful paintings and sculptures from Rembrandt and Matisse to Picasso and Damien Hirst. Somewhat ironically, perhaps the most famous piece of art in the whole city is the relatively small statue of the Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Andersen's well-known story.
Just a stroll through the city centre is an art tour in itself. Historic buildings like the Rundetårn offer guests great views of the city. The City Hall and the Frederikskirken are other great examples of Copenhagen's great classic buildings. What seems to impress visitors most, however, are the funky, unique, modern buildings that have sprung up over recent decades. Scandinavia is well-known for its design, and this city is certainly no exception. With buildings designed by the same firm that designed the Sydney Opera House and Henning Larsen's striking Copenhagen Opera, it is an architect's dream. Don't skip Christiansborg, the post-card beautiful rows of coloured houses that line one of the canals.
Copenhagen has more to offer than just art and architecture. It is also home to the world's 2 oldest functioning amusement parks. The more famous of the 2, Tivoli Gardens, is a step back in time, right in the middle of the city. Ride a wooden roller coaster and view a puppet show just like people did in years past. For something completely different, head over to Christiania, a semi-autonomous commune, also in the city centre. There are some really cool buildings here, built by the citizens and some great cafes and underground bars and music venues.
To get your shopping fix, visit Strøget, the longest pedestrian shopping street on earth. Along the main drag, you'll find upscale stores and high fashion, as as you wander the surrounding streets, you'll find an more eclectic and unique assortment of shops. The city also hosts a couple of great flea markets.
Getting Around
Copenhagen has quite an extensive public transit system, incorporating light rail, metro, and bus lines that service the whole area. There are tourist buses operating in the city centre that stop at many of the main sites and can be hailed anywhere there is a spotted green curb. Because it is a port town and has a number of canals, another great way to get around is by boat. There are some canal tours that operate in the centre as well as the public harbour bus. It does not go in the canals, but is quick and works with the same tickets as buses and trains. If you really want to get around the city like the locals do, the only way to do that is by bike. Most large roads have designated bike lanes as upwards of 40% of the population cycles regularly. Though the bike share system is not operational anymore, there are numerous places to rent comfortable bikes.

Cork Floor Tile
For more than 100 years, cork tile has been commonly used as a floor and wall covering for residential and commercial use. A new ASTM International standard, F3008, Specification for Cork Floor Tile, specifies requirements for cork floor coverings made from agglomerated composition cork supplied in tile form, which is designed to be used with a factory finish or an in situ finish, or both.
F3008 was developed by Subcommittee F06.80 on Specifications, part of ASTM International Committee F06 on Resilient Floor Coverings.
"Although it's an old material, many people still do not understand cork flooring, and more important, do not know how to tell the difference between one product and another outside of sales and marketing literature," says Christopher Capobianco, sales and technical specialist, Spartan Surfaces, and an F06 member. "F3008 established minimum standards that this material needs to meet."
Capobianco also notes that cork floor covering is considered to be a very sustainable type of flooring material. While the primary bark of the cork oak tree is used for bottle stoppers for the wine industry, material that is not used for this purpose is granulated, compressed and finished for a variety of other materials, including floor tile.
F3008 will be used by manufacturers to ensure that their products are meeting minimum requirements. Architects, end users and other specifiers will use the standard to understand the difference between products so that the correct product is used for particular projects. Finally, testing laboratories will use F3008 to assist manufacturers in product testing, and to assist in the analysis of cork tile involved in product complaints.
To purchase ASTM standards, visit www.astm.org and search by the standard designation, or contact ASTM Sales (phone: 877-909-ASTM; firstname.lastname@example.com).

Feature Friday - Easy Bound Fleece Blanket
19 comments:
I'm excited to find out the sex of your baby too! Did you plan on letting everyone know or is it going to be kept a secret? I'm dying to get pregnant again too (and wishing for a little girl this time). We're waiting just a little while longer to try, so maybe I'm living vicariously through you :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking to the tutorial, looks like something I could make with my novice sewing skills. My son could use a new blanket.
Love the blanket and really wishing I could sew now too...it looks cute and super cozy!ReplyDelete
Next Tuesday's my big day! I'm hoping that the baby won't be camera shy when the time comes... :) So excited for the both of us!Replies
Yay! Let me hear about your big news! Woo-hoo! If yours is a girl and mine's a boy I should send this blanket your way :)Delete
I made two of these with an animal print and green quilt binding about a year ago that are identical to each other. One was to send to our toddler boy in China whom we had not met yet, and the other was to take with us when we traveled there ourselves to meet and adopt him four months later. At the time, we had no way of knowing if the blanket we mailed actually made it to his orphanage or not, so it was really neat when we visited his orphanage and the director gave us the blanket, which had obviously gotten some use. Now we've been home with our son for almost eight months and he has two little blankets to enjoy. That's kind of a long story to say that this type of blanket is special to me because it reminds me of when I made them during that period of time when we were anxiously waiting to meet our little boy. In a way it's kind of like a pregnancy, I suppose.ReplyDelete
Wow! What a great idea and story, Kyrie. How sweet those blankets must be to you. Thanks for sharing this with us!ReplyDelete
Oh this is a fabulous idea. I can't wait to find out what you're having too! :)ReplyDelete
Very clever. I quilt 2 pieces of fleece together. I make my own bias biinding to use on the fleece.ReplyDelete
if you happen to have another boy, and you are looking for someone to gift this too, I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands because I kinda LOVE IT and I am having a girl. ;)
Seriously though, thanks for posting the tutorial. Someday, when I brush off my crafting area again, I'm going to get to this one. (Unless of course you have a boy. Tee hee)
This is adorable!! i am making a fleece blanket for my BFF's baby shower and i am definitely going to finish it off like this :)ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! If you are asking a question and you do NOT have your profile linked to your email address, I will respond in the comment section, so just come back to check it later. Thanks!

community - choose a jigsaw puzzle to solve
A community is a small or large social unit (a group of living things) who have something in common, such as norms, religion, values, or identity. Communities often share a sense of place that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighborhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community. People tend to define those social ties as important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions like family, home, work, government, society, or humanity, at large. Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties (micro-level), "community" may also refer to large group affiliations (or macro-level), such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities. The word "community" derives from the Old French comuneté, which comes from the Latin communitas "community", "public spirit" (from Latin communis, "shared in common"). Human communities may share intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, and risks in common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

In today's Addison Independent, we feature six-plus pages of town-by-town election coverage that previews the highlights of Town Meeting Day for each of the county's 23 towns. We also cover and report the most important budgets — town and school districts — and the most prominent elections on the front page and main news pages in section A.
Numerous letters have been coming in and published over the past several weeks (most well-considered, articulate and attributable to local residents), and that continues in today's issue over three more pages. All-in-all, there are a dozen or more pages of pre-election news in today's paper. Take the time to read those stories that pertain to you and your community; study the issues from this material, as well as by referring to the town reports sent out by each community. Ask questions, if you have them, and find out the answers — at Town Meeting if not before.
Those are the initial steps that are so essential to upholding our democratic values. Then attend Town Meeting, Tuesday, March 5, if at all possible, and vote. Afterward, you'll be glad you made the effort.

FBI joins search for missing Conway teenBy PAT GROSSMITH
October 11. 2013 1:11PM
CONWAY - An FBI specialized team of investigators experienced in child abduction cases has joined the search for missing 14-year-old Abigail Hernandez.
Dozens of law enforcement and fish and game officers are on the ground, in the air and on the waterways looking for the teen who was last seen about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday walking home from Kennett High School.
Still, New Hampshire Associate Attorney General Jane Young, in a news conference early Friday afternoon outside the Conway Police Department, emphasized the investigation remains a missing person case.
Investigators said evidence found at Hernandez' 86 Village Way home indicates she arrived there after school, based on a track found by a New Hampshire State Police dog, but she was gone when her mother Zenya Hernandez came home later that day. Her mother called police.
Kieran L. Ramsey, the FBI's Supervisory Special Agent in New Hampshire, asked the public to call the FBI's tip line - 1-800-CALLFBI - or leave information online at tips.fbi.gov, or contact Conway police if they have any information concerning Hernandez.
They released a FBI missing person poster of Hernandez which features the last known photo taken of her by a security camera at the high school on Wednesday. In it, she is wearing black leggings/yoga pants, a gray striped multicolored sweater and black leather boots.
Young explained that investigators are trying to establish a time line of where the teen was on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The search has extended to the air, land and waterways, she said. The FBI has brought in more personnel, some as far away as Virginia, to assist in the investigation.
Young said the different agencies have all come together to "find this little girl" and said the family has fully cooperated with investigators.
According to the FBI's website, its Crimes Against Children (CARD) units provide a quick and effective response to all incidents of crimes against children and provide teams of experienced personnel to provide on-the-ground investigative, technical, and resource assistance to state and local law enforcement. CARD Teams consist of investigators with in-depth experience in child abduction cases.
The nationwide CARD Team consists of more than 60 members, with five teams serving each region of the country. The teams work closely with FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit representatives, National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime coordinators, and Child Exploitation Task Force members.
Police Chief Edward Wagner said the investigation is an important one to his department, but their only concern is for "Abby's" safe return.
"Abby, if you are out there and hear this message, please call the police department, your family or friends so we can conclude this investigation and have you safely return," he said.
Conway firefighters spent Thursday searching near the girl's home, and assembled at the Thompson Road trailhead to help search near Puddin' Pond. The pond is across North-South Road from Village Way.
The investigation also included witness interviews, a search of Abigail's home and the surrounding area and traces of phone calls. Her name was submitted to the National Crime Information Center as a missing person.

- "Every single Divination and Care of Magical Creatures lesson was now conducted in the presence of Umbridge and her clipboard. She lurked by the fire in the heavily perfumed tower room, interrupting Professor Trelawney's increasingly hysterical talks with difficult questions about ornithomancy and heptomology, insisting that she predicted students' answers before they gave them and demanding that she demonstrate her skill at the crystal ball, the tea leaves and the rune stones in turn."
- —Description[src]
Ornithomancy is a Divination method of reading omens from the actions of birds. In the Muggle world, it has a long and illustrious heritage - the case of Alexander of Macedon, for example, whose birth was reported to have been attended by two eagles landing on the roof of the chamber where his mother was in labour, signifying his mastery of two empires.[1]
When inspecting Sybill Trelawney's classes in January, 1996, Dolores Umbridge (then-Hogwarts High Inquisitor) would interrupt her talks with difficult questions on ornithomancy and heptomology.[2]

Microsoft are going to fix Nullable Types for VS2005!
This is fantastic news - I suspect my feedback may even have played a role in this decision for them, which is pretty cool :)
Needless to say, I'm thrilled. Now if only they'd do the same thing for web projects, but that's a rant for another day...
Update: Wow, looks like I suspected right! That's quite an ego boost ;)

I wish it worked for me
Haven't been able to see any help with these devices so I went back to eight shots of Bailey's before bed. That gets me to sleep but I feel like I've been run over by a train when I awake in the morning.
Perhaps it's a sign of the troubled times we live in but I've noticed a recent rash of gadgets and apps, such as the Jawbone Up, that are designed to monitor – and hopefully improve – your sleep patterns. I'm a somewhat erratic sleeper myself, so I decided to look at a few of these apps over Christmas. The one that stands out …
Haven't been able to see any help with these devices so I went back to eight shots of Bailey's before bed. That gets me to sleep but I feel like I've been run over by a train when I awake in the morning.
Ok, I think there's a lot of FUD out there about electrosensitivity and mobiles causing cancer and all that rot. Nothing out there that's remotely persuasive, and certainly nothing that would stop me using or mobile, or lead me to take away my kids (yeah, like that would go down well).
Do I really want a transmitter sat 6" from my head for 8 hours a day on top of my normal daily usage? I bet the mattress interferes with the signal (metal springs) and so the phone is more likely to be a higher output than normal too. Hmm, irrational or not, I really don't like the idea of that...
(icon of man whose brain is melting, natch)
Put it in flight mode to turn off the radios.
Although the only issue I can see is that I'm more than capable of sleeping through a phone alarm, especially when it's muffled by my bedding.
This app has been around at least two years and I can't say I found it very effective during the months I tried it.
The last thing I want is a fire-prone iPhone* under my head all night, keeping nice and warm (hot) under the insulation of the pillow.
* or any phone with a Li-ion battery for that matter
They're a placebo...
The suggestion being that they do work, as they are a placebo.
Placebo's are concusively proven to work which is why they have to be allowed for in trials.
The suggestion isn't that it therefore "works", it needs to "work better than placebo" in order to be deemed worthwhile. By your standards, homoeopathy works
The science behind it is non-existent. The app infers that when you're not moving, you're in deep sleep and vice versa. It's been shown that this is largely flawed logic - there is no direct correlation. Sleep labs use these devices to measure rest-activity cycles, but have to rely on electrodes to measure EEG in order to determine "deepness" of sleep.
> Placebo's are concusively proven to work which is why they have to be allowed for in trials.
Placebos are included in randomised controlled trials because they /don't/ work
What I was getting at is that this is great, if you'll believe anything you're told. It only takes a little research to see they don't. And as a bonus you save 69p as well.
Want to wake up feeling refreshed? Allow yourself to get a proper nights sleep and eat some decent food. Don't rely on some tacky app.
Set your alarm for 20 mins before you have to get up then have a quick Sherman in the meantime. Always gets the day off to a good start.
Looks like snake oil to me. Having played around a fair bit with the iPhone, I'd be very surprised if it was sensitive enough to detect movement on the bed (unless you thrash around like Linda Blair).
I personally use sleepyti.me (I have no affiliation with the site), which uses a very simple rule to determine when you should be setting your alarm/when you should be going to bed. And it's FREE.
It's sensitive enough, there's a demo where it beeps when it's detecting movement (to calibrate it), but yeah, it's still snake-oil. As much as sleepyti.me is (free) snake-oil too - there isn't an "average" sleep cycle for people in general. For a specific person, yeah, but not people.
I bought a Zeo Mobile which actually monitors a little more than jiggling about, and it seems to give good data about my sleep patterns.
If you share a bed with someone any data produced by accelerometers is basically void. This is a waste of 69p.
I've been using this App for 18 months or more, usually in blocks of several months at a time. For me, I think it *probably* works. I'm a light sleeper, live in a quiet place, and am pretty certain that - on average - I feel MUCH less "groggy" when I get woken by Sleep Cycle compared with a standard alarm. Of course, its one of those things that is difficult to be truly objective about, and your milage may vary.
Let me say that I HATE being woken suddenly by a noisy alarm, so I've experimented with various alarm clocks and volume levels over the years (years ago I even wired a variable resistor into my digital alarm clock so I could wind the volume down to the level that was just loud enough to reliably wake me).
The other App that I used for a year or more before Sleep Cycle was Zen Alarm Clock, that wakes you with a bell that first chimes once then again 9 minutes or so later, then 5 mins later, then 3 then 2 then 1 then 30 seconds...etc...with the theory being that it rouses you slowly (allegedly matching some biorhythm).
I thought that this Zen App was a gazillion times better than being woken by any standard alarm. In fact, I still use this app sometimes, instead of Sleep Cycle, just for a bit of variation in my life :-)
I haven't noticed any real difference between the effectiveness of Sleep Cycle compared with Zen - both seem to rouse me equally pleasantly (if being woken up by an alarm can ever really be called pleasant). Its just that Sleep Cycle makes then cool graphs of your sleep pattern over the course of the night.
Why proper alarms at all?
We have Sonos in the bedroom, and drift off to pleasing ambient sounds, and wake up to some nice chillout. The sleep timer fades it out slowly, the alarm fades it in. It's not linked to any data, but it's subtle enough not to startle, and it being music, there's no need to turn it off (and risk falling asleep again).
I also doubt this reviewed app would pick up much movement from a proper memory foam mattress?
Most of the features are similar but smart alarm also tracks sound. This allows you to track things that might wake interfere with your sleep, like your spouses snoring or the neighbor starting his motorcycle to go to work at three am.
Beer. The best sleep aid.
I've been using this app since just before christmas. For me it seems to be working, I'm awake when the final alarm goes off and not at all zombiefied. Placebo effect or actually working? I don't know but worth giving it a shot.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In this year's Oscar nominations, entries didn't sway far from what was expected, though there were a few shocking additions — five-time Razzie nominee "Lone Ranger"! — and plenty of overlooked titles.
Here's a breakdown of the snubs and surprises at the 86th Oscar nominations:
— "Captain Phillips." Tom Hanks is widely beloved by the academy, having been nominated five times previously, and winning for "Forest Gump" and "Philadelphia." But even though "Captain Phillips," in which Hanks plays the title role, was nominated six times, Hanks was denied an actor nod for his lead performance.
— "All Is Lost." Robert Redford, expected by many to be nominated for his solo roll in the shipwreck drama, also missed out on a best actor nod, which he's never won.
— "Lee Daniels' the Butler." If the lack of Golden Globe nominations was any indication, it's no surprise this film was given little love by the academy. But a complete shutout is a shock. At least Oprah still has a chance to take home a trophy for her performance as Gloria Gaines at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend.
— "Blue Jasmine." Though the film received three nominations, including a best actress bid for Cate Blanchett, best supporting actress for Sally Hawkins, and original screenplay, writer-director Woody Allen was left out of the directing category. Though he may take home the trophy for writing, perhaps it's best to let the gals be the belles of the Oscar ball. It's not like Allen, who hates award shows, would show up anyway.
— "Her." Spike Jonze was also left out of the directing category for his work on this futuristic love story. But his film earned noms in four other categories, including original score, original song, best picture, production design and original screenplay. Last nominated in 1999 for best director for "Being John Malkovich," Jonze has yet to win an Academy Award. Also from "Her," Joaquin Phoenix was denied a best actor nomination for his lead role in the futuristic love story. It's a surprising snub after the actor carried the film on only the sound of Scarlett Johansson's voice.
— "Inside Llewyn Davis." After receiving a flurry of praise, including sweeping the National Society of Film Critics' top prizes for picture, director, actor (Oscar Isaac) and cinematography, this folk-music tale was nominated for only two Oscars — cinematography and sound mixing. Directors Ethan and Joel Coen were left out of the directing category and the film's star, Isaac, was also denied.
— "Saving Mr. Banks." Disney's making of "Mary Poppins" tale failed to gain either a best picture nomination or a best actress nod for lead Emma Thompson. But it did earn one nom for original score.
— "Fruitvale Station." Perhaps it was far-fetched to think this numbing injustice tale would edge its way into at least the best original screenplay category, but the snub of young filmmaker Ryan Coogler's debut is disappointing. After all, the Academy occasionally carries a soft spot for the gritty newcomer (Diablo Cody gained a trophy for "Juno" in 2007). Alas, the competition was just too steep this year.
— "Monsters University." Notably absent from the animated feature film category was this Disney and Pixar kiddie flick, which was voiced by Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Helen Mirren, and ranked in the top 10 for domestic box office ticket sales in 2013. But Disney's "Frozen" and "The Wind Rises" earned nods, so two out of five ain't bad. Fox's "The Croods," Universal's "Despicable Me 2" and the GKIDS film "Ernest & Celestine" were also nominated.
— "The Hunger Games." Though an unlikely nominee in top categories, this sci-fi adventure, which ranked No. 3 at the box office in 2013 earning $414.4 million domestically, was denied attention from the academy. All of the Alexander McQueen styling, and that sassy makeup, could have at least garnered costume design or makeup and hairstyling bids.
— "Philomena." Starring Judi Dench, the film, which only made $22 million domestically, brought home a surprising four nominations. But critics loved it — and rightfully so. Dench, who gained a best actress nomination for her role as a woman in search of her son, was a tender and charming triumph.
— "The Lone Ranger." Sure this Western stars the ever-dynamic Johnny Depp, but this summer extravaganza was about as impressive as Depp's widely panned "The Tourist." Still it nabbed TWO noms for makeup-hairstyling and visual effects. Depp can make just about anything look good, but to echo Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers on "SNL," ''Really?!'"
— "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa." Johnny Knoxville's candid-camera hit, where he dresses up like an old man and pranks people, managed to earn a nomination in the makeup and hairstyling category — and over $101.7 million at the box office.

The first development build after Syllable 0.6.4 is here, with the new USB and scanning subsystem. The project was contacted by the Python project concerning support for the upcoming Python 3, so far resulting in an upgrade of the Syllable Python port to the latest release version 2.5.1. Also this weekend, Syllable got a new window decorator in Vista style [screenshot], 7-Zip, UnRAR and UnACE.

That's because it takes years (decades, in fact) in this lethargic atmosphere to get anywhere, and we're building from nothing instead of assembling a bunch of pre-made components (Any Linux distribution) or forking a fully working OS (Any BSD). We don't have a pre-existing development community to draw on (Haiku).
Developers are fundamentally lazy. Generally, that's what makes them good developers. Getting lazy developers to use a new platform is difficult.
the work they output isn't that impressive
What would you like? Balloons and a circus?
Out of all the "alternative" OSes, Syllable is currently the most complete, most stable, supports the most hardware, has one of the most complete and up to date toolchains. We will soon also have a server version.

Today's Meditation
Those who look to [the Lord] are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
-Psalm 34:5 (NIV)
I lead a Christian institute that trains young people to become teachers in primary schools. Last year as a bishop addressed us during a gathering, the electric power went off due to heavy rains. The microphone failed. Without becoming annoyed, the bishop continued the talk by the light of a candle. The students moved to the front, sat at the feet of the bishop, and listened eagerly.
Later a student said, "We are thankful to God for the failure of the power supply. We could come close to our bishop, and the message became very personal." This student expressed a positive attitude.
When we face a problem we have two choices: focus on the problem or fix our eyes on God. If we opt for the first, the problem seems to grow bigger. If we look to God, we will see God's presence and goodness -- and this opens doors to discover a solution. Despair and disappointment can become opportunities to move closer to God and feel God's power.
Shaji George
(Kerala, India)
Prayer: Lord, your presence with us is enough. Help us remember to look to you when problems come. Amen.
Thought for the Day: Looking to God can turn problems into opportunities.

Gunners target free to leave Real
Arsenal target Nuri Sahin has been told by Jose Mourinho that he can leave Real Madrid
The Gunners are reportedly interested in signing Sahin on a season-long deal with an option to buy, but face competition from Galatasaray for the 23-year-old Turkey midfielder. Emirates Stadium is Sahin's preferred destination and the transfer moved a step closer when Mourinho declared he is surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu.
"The point is that he's a young boy who wants to play every match," the Real manager said.
"He wants to play to be happy and in Real Madrid with Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Lassana Diarra, Esteban Granero and Mesut Ozil, the situation is not easy.
"Real Madrid is very difficult. It is not an easy club, because we demand a lot. We have great players and when you don't start well, it's difficult to do it.
"If he stays, he's not a problem for me. He's one more solution. We are leaving the situation in his hands.
"Decide what you want to decide, to be happy. If you decide to leave we're going to help you to leave. If you decide to stay, we're going to support you and try to succeed this season."
Sahin joined Real for £8million last summer after helping Borussia Dortmund win the Bundesliga title.
Injury prevented him from making his debut for the Spanish champions until November and he only made 10 appearances throughout the season, scoring once.
Arsenal's squad looks set to be strengthened by the arrival of Santi Cazorla, the Malaga attacking midfielder who is reported to have completed a medical. Cazorla has agreed a four-year contract and the highly-rated 27-year-old Spanish international is thought to have cost the Gunners £16million.

Political climate change Rubens, Lambert switch sides
June 21. 2014 7:50PM
Jim Rubens, running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, has embraced what he calls "free-market" energy solutions. That must have been a shock to his buddies at the far-left Union of Concerned Scientists, where he spent years advocating government action to increase energy prices in the name of curtailing global warming.
"I believe the best energy policy is to end government energy market interventions which have slowed clean energy technology innovation," Rubens said in a recent press release.
"I oppose cap and trade because of its ineffectiveness and excessive complexity and government intervention," he said. Yet back when he was not running in a Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Rubens advocated strong government intervention in and regulation of energy markets.
On June 23, 2006, he testified before legislators that New Hampshire should adopt its own renewable portfolio standard (requiring a certain percentage of the state's energy to come from renewable sources) and join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), both of which New Hampshire did.
Those heavy-handed government interventions in the energy sector are two reasons why New Hampshire has higher energy prices than it should.
Rubens has long advocated a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions. In 2008, he wrote that the United States needed to reduce its emissions by "at least 80 percent" from 2000 levels by 2050. That is a much more stringent standard than the new EPA plan to cut emissions by 30 percent by 2030, which Rubens says he opposes.
"Carbon trading schemes, emission caps and taxes have largely failed worldwide to reduce emissions," Rubens now says. Those are some of the very policies he spent years helping to implement. Lucky for Rubens, he is not performing this switcheroo solo. It is a duet.
Gary Lambert, running for the Republican nomination for Congress in the 2nd District, last week signed Americans for Prosperity's pledge not to support any energy policy that results in increased revenue to the government.
This is the same Gary Lambert who, as a state senator, voted for RGGI, which raises energy prices so the government can distribute the extra money to energy conservation projects the government likes.
When New Hampshire had a chance to remove itself from this wealth redistribution scheme, Lambert was one of the Republicans who voted to keep us in it.
In 2011, Lambert defended RGGI, saying the increased electricity costs were justified. He made the same defense in an interview with The Telegraph of Nashua last September. Now he repudiates that position, which he has held for years.
What a difference running in a competitive primary can make in a candidate's views.

BELVIDERE - A Belvidere Culver's assistant manager was arrested Tuesday for stealing the credit and debit card numbers of customers while working the drive-thru window.
Curtis Peck, 28, of Rockford was charged with two counts of identity theft, a Class 4 felony punishable by one to three years in prison.
Belvidere Police saw an increase in identify theft during December 2013 and January, the release said. The victims reported that the offender was making local purchases on their credit or debit cards.
Leads from victims and business owners led authorities to the 1800 block of Crestwood Avenue in Rockford where authorities executed a search warrant. There, officers seized computer equipment, an electronic credit card writer, blank credit cards, receipts, drug paraphernalia, cannabis and a vehicle.
Authorities said they believe that Peck obtained credit and debit card numbers while working the drive-thru window. Police say they believe there were more than 80 victims who collectively lost thousands of dollars in the past 60 days.
On Thursday, police examined the computer that was seized during the search warrant and were able to obtain a list of potential victims. Officers will be making contact with each one.
The Culver's business has been cooperative with police and has assisted authorities during the entire investigation.
The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are expected, police said in a news release out Friday.
Anyone with information about a crime is encouraged to call the Belvidere Police Department at 815-544-2135 or Crime Stoppers at 815-547-7867.

Introducing Lola
Hi there,
I'm the new person owned by little Lola, 14 week old "Schnoodle". I'm sure you will be reading a lot about Lola in the coming weeks and months as she has a few issues...coprophasia , separation anxiety :sad: , etc... She came to us at 11 weeks very fearful and shy but is shaping up to be a delightful little shnook despite her shortcomings. She is a very smart little cookie.
Lola is a replacement (but will never truly replace) my sweet little loving Rozie, the greatest little Welsh Terrier who ever scampered on this earth. We had Rose put down on January 2nd. She would have been 14 years old this April. I didn't think I was ready for another dog but now that she's here, Lola has really helped to take the edge off my grief. (It was a terrible day but now I can actually say "Rozie" without crying.)
It's been a long time since I had a puppy...I forgot how much work it is!!
Thank goodness for this site and folks like you!
Hi Cindy: Sounds like you have a lot of socialization to do...at 11 weeks, you have a very small window; about 3-4 more weeks to work in. Try and expose her to as many places and things as you can...if you stay calm and matter-of-fact she will take her cue from you.
I believe fearful and anxious dogs are made worse when their humans respond to it with comfort...to a dog, it's a reward for the fear. The less fuss you make, the more her confidence will grow...good luck.
Hi AJ's Mom,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm aware of the socialization window and have been working hard to get Lola exposed to as much as possible. She's been to the local grocery store mall where I've asked passersby to greet her and she's seen walkers, bikes, canes, shopping carts, what-have-you. She's learned that she can get tasty gum from the sidewalk . She LOVES kids and other dogs, is very interested in befriending cats but keeps a wary distance. She doesn't care for the car but just lies down immediately and waits out the trip. I don't think she realizes that there's a world going by outside the window as all she can see from her prone position are treetops and sky! I take her to the vet's office for visits with the girls. We don't molly-coddle her when something scary happens but speak to her in an up-beat, excited and friendly voice to let her know that the chair scraping or the blender whirring are FUN noises. She does not like to be left alone - I had a video camera on her when I left her at home in her crate for 42 minutes...she howled and yipped for 21 of them before settling down. She's learning to spend the night in her crate by our bed and is accepting it more and more. She's coming along quite well, hopefully we can overcome the separtion anxiety. I'm aware that it is imperative to work it out while she's young.
I'll be posting more about our issues in the appropriate forums when there's time. Thanks again for your comments/concerns!
Welcome Cindy ~ and you too Lola ! We would love to see pix of your lovable mutt (a lot of us have mutts so no worries about breed-snobs here !).
There have been a number of excellent threads on separation anxiety and puppyhood. You will see "Search" on the dark blue bar under the light blue "header". Hit "search" and key in "separation anxiety" (or any other key words for your concern) to see all the threads and posts about that topic.
Now, no excuses with the pix ~ cuz we love puppies !
Heeeeere's LOLA!
Thanks for the tips, mummummumm!
I'll be sure to read up on this, we're determined to overcome this problem!
Here are some photos of our little scamp. The action one was taken yesterday while she was "helping" in the yard. She LOVES being outside in the yard, will zoom around and entertain herself by tossing sticks, mouthing leaves, digging holes, etc.

"This is real life" is a phrase that CM Punk uses at the beginning of his new autobiographical movie "CM Punk: Best in the World." He says that to make sure the viewer knows that when he talks about his own life, it's not part of the fiction that comes with being a "superstar" in the WWE. The film does cover some very personal aspects of his life, and I must admit that for being such a private person, I was surprised with how intimate a look Punk gave his fans of his world "beyond the mat."
"CM Punk: Best in the World" chronicles the life of the current WWE Champ , starting with his humble (and admittedly dysfunctional) beginnings – concluding with his ultimate actualization into one of the top pro wrestlers in the business. We see how he began his career in the sport by creating a backyard wrestling federation and becoming a neighborhood legend. Ambition to be even better would see him attending wrestling school and making a name for himself on the independent "Ring of Honor" (ROH) circuit.
(Another thing I found surprising? The amount of ROH match footage that was used in a WWE feature. Don't they shy away from giving indies that kinda publicity?)
That same ambition would have him signing a deal with the WWE and spending a frustrating period in the company's developmental league. When he makes it to the relative "big leagues" as part of the ECW brand the frustrations continue, even though Punk has the likes of Paul Heyman – the original founder of ECW – championing his cause.
The reasons why Punk encounters so many challenges are addressed in interviews with WWE "booker" Michael Hayes and WWE Exec Paul Michael Levesque AKA "Triple H." The commentary they offer is refreshingly candid, detailing their own perspectives on how they viewed the development of CM Punk's "character" in the promotion. (At this point the film, the chronology of Punk's career would get to the time where I first discovered him, as an ECW star being brought into the WWE mainstream brands of RAW and Smackdown.) His star would finally rise when he would make his famous "pipe bomb" speech during the closing minutes of the WWE's RAW program. It would be the moment when years of hard work, frustration and ambition would finally pay off.
Getting a behind the scenes look at the process of creating the ongoing narrative of a pro wresting promotion is fascinating. Getting a look at how it affected CM Punk, gave me a greater appreciation of what a talent he is. As he says "This is real life", and I think it's something that even non-wrestling fans will enjoy.
The documentary is part of the "CM Punk: Best in the World" 3 disc DVD set, on sale October 9th from WWE Home Video.
"CM Punk: Best in the World" gets a Geek Factor Rating of 4 pipe bombs (out of 4).

Cyclone loses power after crossing Western Australia cost, missing major iron ore mining port
PERTH, Australia – A major storm has missed Australia's major iron ore port and crossed a sparsely populated stretch of the west coast.
The Bureau of Meteorology said in a statement Thursday that Cyclone Rusty was weakening as it tracked inland from the coast of Western Australia state but remained destructive with gusts up to 125 kph (78 mph).
Port Hedland was relatively unscathed by the storm that was gusting up to 230 kilometers (140 miles) per hour late Wednesday as it crossed the coast from the Indian Ocean to the south of the town.
Port Hedland residents were returning to their homes from storm shelters on Thursday after the bureau declared the danger there had passed. The iron ore export facilities were shut down on Wednesday for fear of damage.
