The Christmas trees are lovely. The cookies, delicious. The presents, delightful. The pageants and the parties are, of course, good fun. And if there's snow, well, the whole night becomes magical.
For as lovely, delicious, delightful, fun and downright magical as the trappings of Christmas can be, however, they remain just that: trappings. They are wonderful extras, the icing on the holiday cake. But they are not the essentials. They are not the reason angels went around Judea 2,000 years ago telling Levitical priests, virgins and shepherds to rejoice (Lk 1:14, 28; 2:10).
By now, it's a Christmas card truism to say, "Jesus is the reason for the season." And yet, truisms are truisms because they are true. Jesus is the reason for the season. He's the reason for all that is lovely, delicious and delightful about the days and weeks surrounding Dec. 25. He's the reason Zechariah, Mary and those lowly peasant boys rejoiced, and he should be our reason for rejoicing as well.
Yet, in the midst of the presents and the parties, it's easy for that reason to get lost. It's easy for him to get lost. And that's understandable. The happenings of today have an urgency that the happenings of centuries long past lack.
Nevertheless, when it comes to Jesus' birth, the passing of time hasn't changed or diminished the cause we've been given for rejoicing. Now, as then, we rejoice because …
"In the days of Herod … a decree went out from Caesar Augustus."— Luke 1:5, 2:1
Dissipated kings and despotic emperors, occupying armies and persecution of every sort — racial, political and religious: That was the world the Jews of Jesus' day knew. And they knew nothing else. Generations had passed since they ruled themselves, with one occupying nation after another harassing and oppressing them. Some found comfort by conspiring with those oppressors, attaining wealth and position at the cost of most everything else (see Mt 9:9). Others found a better comfort in their faith, but religious leaders more interested in the letter of the law than the Giver of the law had made living that faith burdensome as well (see Mt 23).
To that world — a world of poverty and sin, confusion and violence — the Son of God came. He didn't come to a perfect people doing perfect things. He came into a man-made mess. He immersed himself in it. Then, he illuminated it, bringing light where before there had been only darkness.
The darkness didn't stop him then, and it doesn't stop him now. This Christmas, he will again come into our imperfect parishes and imperfect homes. No matter how confused, crazy or chaotic they might be, he'll still come.
The mess won't stop him. In fact, it motivates him. He wants to enter into that mess — the mess of our culture and the mess of our lives — and transform both with his love.
And if we let him, he will.
"Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them …"— Luke 2:8-9
Jesus wasn't born in an emperor's palace. His mother wasn't a queen (at least not then) and his foster father wasn't a king. Nor was his birth celebrated with fireworks and toasts by the first-century elite.
Rather, the King of the Universe was born in a stable and slept in a manger. No one would make room for them in their inns or their homes. His mother was a humble village girl and her husband an equally humble carpenter. Those who first learned of his birth were shepherds, an occupation that put those who held it right above prostitutes and lepers on the social ladder of ancient Israel.
On that first Christmas night, only the lowest of the low knelt before Jesus' crib. Wealth and privilege couldn't buy their way in. Nor can it today.
This Christmas, the Christ Child again comes for the poor and the lowly. He comes for the weak, the wounded, the confused and the lost. He comes for the spiritually impoverished, the tired and the lonely. He comes for those who are prisoners of their sins, as well as those broken by others' sins. Essentially, he comes for all of us who recognize our need, our littleness and willingly bow to him.
That means we don't have to do anything impressive or be anything other than who we are to kneel before him as he comes to us today, in the Eucharist. We simply have to love him and seek to love him better. That's what he asked then. It's what he asks now.
"He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever."— Luke 1:54-55
When Mary prayed those words of her Magnificat, she recalled a promise older than Israel itself. Before David, before Moses, before Jacob, God swore a covenant with Abraham. He promised to make his descendants as numerous as the stars, and from among those descendants to bring forth a king (Gn 12, 15, 22).
Later, other promises followed — promises of the lost tribes of Israel returned, promises of a virgin bearing a son, promises of deliverance and freedom.
Those promises weren't fulfilled in an instant. Centuries passed. Generations came and went. And when fulfillment finally came, it didn't look like what the Israelites expected it to look like. Their great King was a humble carpenter; their deliverance was a spiritual deliverance; their freedom from sin.
But the promises were fulfilled just the same. Mary knew that. She celebrated that. And so should we. God never forgets. He never walks away. We're free to walk away from him, but he is forever faithful. What he's promised to those who trust in him and walk with him — peace, love, strength, mercy, justice, heavenly friends and a heavenly family — he will deliver.
The babe born on Christmas long ago is proof of that.
"For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord."— Luke 2:11
In Eden, man fell. Through the sins of our first parents, sanctifying grace — divine sonship — was lost. Life became less than it was meant to be. Man loved less than he was meant to love. Virtue didn't come easily. Vice did. And God, who once seemed so close, now seemed so much farther away.
But the Fall didn't seal man's fate. No sooner did man lose the gift of God's life in his soul than did God promise to restore it. A woman would come and bear a son who would crush the head of the evil one (see Gn 3:15).
In time, the woman came. And on the first Christmas Eve, so did the Son. That night, he didn't look like much of a savior. For the most part, he looked like any ordinary babe — tiny, fragile and vulnerable. But he was the Savior nevertheless. And soon enough, he did what he came to do, offering his life for our sins, paying the price we couldn't pay, then rising to new life so that we could one day rise to new life too.
We celebrate that gift on Easter, but we also celebrate it on Christmas. We celebrate a God who loved us so much that he became a baby, all so that we could find our way back to him. That's why the angels' song broke the silence of the shepherd's watch: Because they knew the long night of man's separation from God was at an end. They rejoiced in that miracle of love, a miracle that has not diminished with the passing of years, which, in light of our stubborn, sinful, willful ways, seems all the more miraculous now.
And so as choirs of angels sang Hosanna on that first Christmas, we sing it on this Christmas, marveling and rejoicing with them at God's great mercy.
"And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."— Luke 2:12
Before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, no one saw God's face. No one even spoke God's name. He was encountered only as a burning bush (Ex 3:1-15) or a still, small voice (1 Kgs 19:12). His love was known: It was there in the writings of prophets such as Hosea, as well as the poetry of the Song of Songs. But better known was his law and his justice — both connected to his love, yet easily mistaken as things apart.
Then, Jesus came. And God had a face. His love had a face. Both were made visible in the child lying in the manger. The God who is love had become incarnate. He could be seen and touched and heard. He could be held in a mother's arms.
That babe revealed the extent of God's love for man. He was the promised sign.
He still is the sign. In every Nativity scene, in every church, the Christ Child resting in the manger reminds the world of God's limitless love. That child was and is the incarnation of God's light, humility, fidelity and mercy. In pointing the shepherds toward that sign, the angels called the weak and the lowly to love and trust God in return. We are called to do the same.
Fortunately, what God calls us to do, he also gives us the grace to do. At Christmas, those graces abound. They are in the trees and the cookies and the parties, the caroling and the toasting. They are in all the trappings of Christmas that bring people together in love. But more than that, they are in the Holy Mass, where Christ comes once more, in the equally humble guise of bread and wine, bringing his people together to experience a joy that surpasses all others.
This Christmas, receive those graces. And rejoice. For Christ is born.

One problem with custom domes, is finding suitable material for the dome shade. They can be machined from Delrin (expensive) or aluminium and then anodised, (also expensive). Finding black tube the right size is difficult.
This dome shade solution is virtually free and sufficiently robust for most purposes, and much lighter than, for example, the aluminium dome shade on the Nauticam 9" dome.
The dome itself is an 8" hemispherical cast acrylic dome made for a marine compass.
It is glued to an acrylic base adapter that mounts to a Nauticam "10mm extension with screws". I use this dome for the 8-16mm Sigma and not a fisheye, which accounts for the size of the shade. For a fisheye, the shade would be much reduced in size.
Make a cardboard tube first and mount it to the dome. Mark the edges of what you can see with the lens at its widest setting while looking through the viewfinder to create the pattern.
The CAT oil drum is 2mm thick polythene and can be cut easily with a Stanley knife. I welded the edges together, not entirely satisfactorily, using a soldering iron and a stick of burning polythene.
Once burned, the drips are brittle, so it is better to melt the edges together without burning. I clamped a steel ruler to the join so it remained reasonably straight. If I had a hot-melt glue gun here, I would try preheating the edges with a blowlamp and using hot melt glue.
I used 2mm cap head screws and washers to fasten the dome shade to the acrylic.
Dome shade for free.

Fr. Hopko was baptized and raised in St. Mary's Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church, Endicott, NY. He gained his B.A. in Russian Studies, Fordham University, 1960, followed by his M.Div., St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, in 1963. He then took an M.A. in Philosophy, Duquesne University, in 1968 and gained his Ph.D. in Theology, Fordham University, in 1982.
At St. Vladimir's Seminary, Hopko studied with such renowned Orthodox theologians as Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Fr. John Meyendorff, Nicholas Arseniev and Serge Verkhovskoy. He was ordained to holy presbyterate in 1963 and served several parishes in the states of Ohio and New York. In 1968 he began to teach at St. Vladimir's and eventually succeeded his teacher, Serge Verkhovskoy, as professor of dogmatic theology. He was made archpriest in 1970 and, upon his election as Dean, was elevated to the rank of Protopresbyter (1995).
Fr. Hopko is a prominent Orthodox Christian lecturer and speaker, well-known both in the Orthodox and ecumenical circles. He served as a member of the Faith and Order Commission of the World Council of Churches and as a delegate from the Orthodox Church in America to the Assemblies of WCC in Uppsala, Sweden; and Nairobi, Kenya. He was also President of the Orthodox Theological Society in America (1992-1995).

1997 BMW 840ci Vehicle Speed Control Recall | Aug 19, 1997
The Cruise Control And Throttle Cables Are Attached To The Same Throttle Valve Actuating Lever At The Throttle Housing. It Is Possible That The Plastic Bushing On Either Cable Could Break Due To Environmental Influences Coupled With Vibration. If The Bushing Breaks, The Outer Cable Housing Can Separate From The Bushing. In This Case, During Application Of The Throttle Pedal Without Cruise Control Being Engaged, The Outer Tube Could Catch On The Edge Of The Broken Bushing.
This Could Cause The Throttle Valve To Remain Partially Open. It His Were To Occur, The Car Might Not Decelerate As Expected Increasing The Risk Of A Vehicle Crash.
Summary Of Corrective Actions Taken: Dealers Will Install A Spring Steel Clip On The Outer Tube Of Each Cable In The Area Of The Adjusting Screw And Plastic Bushing. The Clip Is Designed To Prevent The Outer Tube From Dislodging From The Bushing.
Owner Notification Is Expected To Begin By The End Of October 1997. Owners Who Take Their Vehicles To An Authorized Dealer On An Agreed Upon Service Date And Do Not Receive The Free Remedy Within A Reasonable Time Should Contact Bmw At 1-800-831-1117.also Contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline At 1-800-424-9393.
This recall was issued on Aug 19, 1997 for 1997 BMW 840ci, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE, in response to Vehicle Speed Control problems.

Chillin' in Burton Conner
That was when we discovered the amazing flashing room! I can't remember whose room it was, but she had quite the setup. There were icicle lights strung all across the ceiling that were hooked up to some fancy box. If I remember right, music from her computer was sent into the box and the different frequency spikes were measured. The different frequencies lit up different icicle lights, which were all different colors of course. The result was a room-wide music visualization party-place, and what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't make a video of it?
Did you hear mention of SolidWorks at the end? That was in reference to this bar:
Then we went to Mason Tang's ('10) room and got to listen to Mason and Sam serenade us with their golden tones.
After some more room tours (including Sam's room) we crashed in a commons are where we discovered a Wii. Well, psh, have Wii will play. Sam and I teamed up against all takers and dominated at Wii Tennis, no contest.
Here's us just sitting and "Chillin' in Burton Conner"
Remember when I said I'd talk more about this girl?
That's Laura. She's also an MIT blogger and lives in Burton Conner. She came and visited us as well!
What I discovered about Laura is that she may, quite possibly, be more sarcastic than me. I think I spent more of my time in Burton Conner attacking each other back and forth than anything else. It even continued past CPW, as you can see in this blog entry that Laura posted.
I made a video of us just chatting and hanging out, which is relatively uneventful, except for two things. The first was the explaining of the "Tang", the unit of orthagonality to conversation. That's because Mason had a tendency to say something in the middle of a conversation that made everybody just stop and stare at him. They even had a whiteboard with a tally of all the Tangs Mason had pulled off. The second thing happens about 1:50 into the video. Mason tells, quite possibly, one of the most inappropriate/hilarious/if-you-laugh-at-it-you-go-to-hell jokes ever! Watch Hank's reaction! It's hysterical! I think it's hilarious too, but others were less thrilled. Meh, judge for yourself.
So that was the Burton Conner Experience! The next story, however, is priceless. Read on my friends, read on, and you'll hear one of the most defining stories of CPW.

Oh my. That totally cannot be a quote from me, because I never swear. You must have gotten me confused with someone else who looks kind of like me, except he never shaves. I look really bad in all of these blog pictures, except the one in the "Meeting Sara and Registering" entry. But that's probalby my fault for practicing poor personal hygiene during CPW.

YouTube testing new form of embedding
YouTube has announced this weekend that they have begun testing a new way of embedding code that would support both HTML5 and Flash.
By using "iframes," the code will either use the Flash plugin or switch to HTML5, depending on what device or browser you are currently using.
If the video has ad overlays, or other features not yet supported by HTML5, it will force Flash, but that is the only time.
Embedded videos should now work on Android and iOS devices, which do not have Flash support yet.
YouTube Mobile already has HTML5 built-in, but now the embedded videos will work on other sites, such as when browsing Afterdawn from your smartphone or tablet.

By Peter Becker
Managing Editor
HAWLEY - Queen of Peace Parish is planning some sidewalk improvements. William Ferraro explained to Hawley Council, April 10, that the church will put in a new handicap ramp on the Church Street side, correcting the pitch. The black top also crumbles and is unsafe. The sidewalk would be kept the same height as the parking lot and re-pitched toward Chestnut Street. A railing would be installed where the sidewalk is higher than the grass.
The parish would also like to designate handicapped parking only, on the Church Street side by the church. Ferraro said that they have a benefactor who is backing the project. The benefactor also asked for an engineer to improve the church parking lot.
The borough's sidewalk ordinance and parking regulations will be forwarded to Ferraro.
Also discussed:
• Concerning the Route 6 bridge project, Sanders related the PennDOT expects the project to be done in July, although the contract allowed until Labor Day. Mayor Kevin Hawk said the contractor isn't working while they wait for pre-cast dams to arrive. Sanders said they were told it would a two-week period.
• Thomas Sheridan offered financial documentation for the money left over from the 175th Hawley Borough Anniversary, in 2002. Sheridan was treasurer of the 175th committee; he asked that the funds be kept for the Bicentennial (in 2027).
Last month, Council was made aware that the bank would consider the account "abandoned" and turn the money over to the state. Council intervened to retain the balance, totaling $4,872.35.
The committee, Sheridan said, was loosely organized and wasn't registered or incorporated. The anniversary, he added, was very successful, given the funds they had left over. He asked that the money be kept in a CD designated for the next anniversary celebration.
• Borough Planning will be asked for guidance on how to limit off-premise wayfaring signs and kiosks, meant to direct visitors to businesses and other destinations in the town. Solicitor Robert Bernathy advised that the Borough should avoid proliferation of these type signs, noting this was a fundamental change in Borough policy which prohibited off-premise signs. As proposed, the ordinance would require a conditional use application and limit the signs to eight square feet. Elaine Herzog, of Council, advised the signs should be uniform. A maintenance agreement would also be needed.
• A certified letter was sent April 9 to the owner of the damaged, vacant house at 416 Penn Avenue. The owner has 30 days to address the damage, caused by a motor vehicle crash at the corner.
Another letter went to the owner of 270 Highland Avenue, a burned out structure. The owner since called and said the house will be boarded up. Deputy Fire Chief Eugene Krause interjected that the house is beyond repair and should come down.
The junk camper on Oakland Street was removed.
The owner of a dilapidated barn on Highland Street has not been identified. Krause indicated this structure was also an attractive nuisance.
• The fee for conditional use hearings was raised from $300 to $500. Part of the fee can be refunded if not all of it was needed to cover borough expenses.
• Mayor Hawk reported that the Borough will participate in the PPL Wallenpaupack Emergency Action Plan exercise, which is set May 1-2. On the second day, the Borough will test the swing gate at the railroad tracks off Paupack Street. This is meant to hold back flood waters should the dam ever break. They also may test the flood gate that would be installed on Church Street at the Eddy Bridge, although there is concern about temporarily closing the Eddy Bridge while the Route 6 bridge project is underway.
• Solicitor Bernathy reported receiving a new franchise agreement from Blue Ridge Cable TV, for services in Hawley Borough. The two-year agreement was conditional on Blue Ridge paying what was owed for 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, which will total between $15,000 to $16,000, he said.
The fee paid to the Borough was raised from 1% to 3%.
• Hawley Police Department is planning a softball game to benefit Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Co.
• The Hawley Ambulance & Rescue Co. offered to paint the Borough flag pole, and to hoist a new US flag as well as a state flag.
• The mayor performed one wedding in March.
• Memorial Day Weekend parade may lineup on Columbus Avenue instead of Bingham Park, due to the bridge project. Ambulance Chief Brian Utegg offered use of the Hawley Ambulance land off Old Gravity Road.
• All but one landlord has complied with Landlord/Tenant permit requirements.
• Council approved switching electric companies to Ambit Energy. The saving are expected to amount to 19% on one bill, and 29% on the other. Credit is allowed if referral customers are found. Councilman Joseph Faubel abstained from voting because of family members involved in the company.
• Flyers will be delivered in town by the Fire Department reminding that houses need to display address numbers. Borough Hall also needs a number shown (94), Deputy Chief Krause said.
• Councilman John Robertson, Streets & Roads Chairman, encouraged businesses and building owners to keep their sidewalk to give Hawley an inviting impression.
• Block grant funding is sought to repave Pine Street and correct the drainage problem there.
• The Victorian style lamp post at Main & River, knocked over in a motor vehicle crash, has been replaced. The cost came to $5,990.
• The levy system is to be inspected by the state on July 13.
• Mayor Hawk thanked everyone who helped with the children's Easter party held at the Ritz. He everything went well "as far as I could see." Someone on Council quipped, "You mean from inside the Bunny head!"
Hawley Council meets on the second Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Braves 5, Nationals 4
Freddie Freeman insists the NL East race is far from over.
The Atlanta Braves are 6 1/2 games out of the division lead with
16 games to play, but Freeman believes they still have a good
chance to catch the Washington Nationals.
"I mean have they won the division yet?" Freeman said. "No,
they haven't, so obviously we do."
Pinch-runner Jeff Baker scored the go-ahead run in the eighth
inning when reliever Ryan Mattheus hit Andrelton Simmons' uniform
with a bases-loaded pitch that helped Atlanta beat the Nationals
5-4 on Saturday.
Jason Heyward and Freeman homered for the Braves, who have won
the first two games in the series and nine of 13.
The Braves beat Washington 2-1 on Friday when Simmons scored on
a throwing error in the ninth inning.
Atlanta began the day with a seven-game lead over third-place
Los Angeles in the NL wild-card race, but Heyward said the team's
focus is on passing the Nationals in the standings.
"I feel like the last two times we've played them we've done
better," Heyward said. "We've taken strides and just tried to
hang in there and keep battling."
Braves closer Craig Kimbrel earned his 36th save in 39 ties
after striking out the side. After pinch-runner Eury Perez stole
second and made it to third on catcher J.P. Boscan's throwing
error, Kimbrel struck out Stephen Lombardozzi and pinch-hitter
Tyler Moore to end it.
Eric O'Flaherty (3-0) faced the minimum in the eighth for
Atlanta, extending his scoreless innings streak to 19 1-3 innings,
a span of 22 games.
Mattheus (5-2) allowed one hit, one walk, two walks and no
With the game tied 4-4 in the eighth, David Ross led off the
eighth with a single off Mattheus and moved to second one out later
when Uggla walked. Baker pinch-ran for Ross before Chipper Jones
walked to load the bases.
Mattheus hit Simmons' uniform to give Simmons an RBI when Baker
scored to make it 5-4.
"I just couldn't fine the (strike) zone," Mattheus said. "I
just couldn't throw strikes. That's inexcusable. I didn't give us a
chance to win that game."
Nationals manager Davey Johnson was ejected for the first time
this season for arguing what appeared to be a blown call in the
sixth that led to Atlanta scoring two runs to make it 4-all.
Washington starting pitcher Edwin Jackson knocked down Martin
Prado's liner, picked up the ball off the mound and threw to first
baseman Adam LaRoche.
First-base umpire Marvin Hudson ruled that Jackson's throw
pulled LaRoche right foot off the bag, but television replays
showed that likely wasn't the case and that Prado should've been
called out.
Johnson was upset that Hudson refused to ask another umpire for
help in making sure the call was correct.
"I've got old eyes and I could see it," Johnson said. "I
thought he overreacted. He wasn't going to get any help. It was a
big run."
Jackson was charged with a throwing error on the play, and
Heyward, the next batter, made it 4-all with his 27th homer, a
two-run shot.
Jackson gave up four hits and four runs – three earned – with
one walk and seven strikeouts in 5 1-3 innings.
LaRoche hit his 30th homer, a two-run shot off Tommy Hanson, to
make it 2-0 in the first.
The Nationals went up 4-0 in the second on two errors by the
After Jesus Flores walked with one out, Steve Lombardozzi
reached when Freeman fielded his grounder near first, juggled the
ball while considering a throw to second and was late to the
getting to the bag.
Jackson followed with a bunt single that Hanson fielded in front
of the mound. Hanson threw errantly to first and allowed both
runners to score.
In the bottom of the third, Dan Uggla made it 4-1 with an RBI
Freeman's 20th homer, a solo shot in the fourth, cut the lead to
4-2. Freeman tripled in the third and singled in the sixth.
"(Washington) is the No. 1 team in the National League,"
Freeman said. "We're playing them tough. We've beaten them twice
now, so we've got a chance to sweep them tomorrow."
Hanson, who is winless in his last six starts, allowed four hits
and four runs – two earned – with one walk and seven strikeouts in
five innings.
Jonny Venters pitched the next 1 2-3 innings for Atlanta. Peter
Moylan relieved him with pinch-runner Roger Bernadina at first.
Moylan gave up a single to Jayson Werth that advanced Bernadina to
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez brought in Luis Avilan, who ended
the threat with one pitch when Freeman fielded Bryce Harper's
grounder and threw to second for the forceout.
Tom Gorzelanny got the final two outs of the sixth for
Washington. Christian Garcia retired two batters in the seventh,
but had runners on first and third when Mike Gonzalez entered and
struck out Heyward.
"This team has had success against us over the past few years,
regardless of where they've been in the standings," Heyward said.
"This year is no different."
Notes: Jones entered as a pinch-hitter for 3B Juan Francisco in
the sixth and stayed in the game, going 0-for-1 with a walk. …
The official scoring was changed after the game regarding Jackson's
bunt single in the second. The play was initially ruled a sacrifice
bunt. … The Braves activated RHP Ben Sheets from the 15-day
disabled list before the game. Sheets, 34, will pitch out of the
bullpen for the first time in his 10-year career. … Ross replaced
Brian McCann as the Atlanta catcher before the top of the third and
threw out Lombardozzi trying to steal second in the fourth. McCann
left with tendinitis in his right hamstring. … Nationals LHP Gio
Gonzalez will go for his 20th victory on Sunday. LHP Mike Minor
pitches for Atlanta. … The Braves won just their third series in
their last 14 with Washington.

Robert T. Brown, a retired Veterans Administration executive, died Aug. 25 at the Edenwald Retirement Community in Towson after suffering a fall earlier in the summer. He was 96.
Born in Jamaica on Long Island, N.Y., he attended the St. Paul's School in Garden City and earned a bachelor's degree in public administration from Harvard University.
Mr. Brown served in the Army during World War II and left military service as a lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps.
He then began his career with the Veterans Administration. He became manager of the Baltimore regional office. He later worked in Washington, where he became director of data management.
Family members said that he and his staff provided the computer technology for the agency's benefit and medical programs. He retired in 1975 after earning a graduate degree from the George Washington University.
His wife of nearly 65 years, the former Margaret Ries, died in 2001.
Mr. Brown and his wife were members of the Baltimore Bicycling Club and the Monocacy Canoe Club and other nature and wildlife organizations. They belonged to the National Organization for Women and the League of Women Voters. The couple enjoyed riding their tandem bicycle on the Northern Central Trail in northern Baltimore County.
The couple lived for many years in the Kernewood section of North Baltimore.
No services are planned. Mr. Brown donated his body to the Maryland Anatomy Board.
Survivors include two daughters, Jean B. Schultz of Ellicott City and Elizabeth P. Brown of Cockeysville; a grandson; and two great-grandchildren.

"They cover everything from security assistance to parking, securing properly supplies or manning patrol boats to close off the bay," said race director Bob Davies. "Starting in June, we scheduled monthly meetings, with the fine tuner set for Sept. 4."
Over the 50 years the event has been staged, Davies said it has become a tradition for families.
"We're entering the third generation of volunteers," Davies said.
The premier events, of course, are the rooster-tale, spraying, turbine-powered unlimited hydroplanes, celebrating a half-century of competition on the Bill Muncey two-and-a-half-mile course in Mission Bay. The races will be nationally televised.
However, it has become a three-ring circus since the semiprofessional smaller boats have been moved to Crown Point. Meanwhile, the Grand Prix West piston-powered hydros will perform at Ski Beach.
There will be no drag-racing boats this year.
"It's a family festival as well, so there will be more entertainment and things for the kids to do," said board member Jim Kidrick, who has been involved with the event for eight years.
"Bayfair needs as many as 30 bands to play professional stages on East Vacation Island and Crown Point, as well as an intimate stage on Fiesta Island," said Dave Rodger, entertainment chairman. "Bands will perform 90-minute sets starting that Friday afternoon through Sunday.
"Bayfair offers all genres of music but bands should be mindful it's a family event," he said. "It's an excellent opportunity for area bands to gain exposure and get new followers."
Bayfair is a nonprofit festival organized and run by volunteers. An eight-member board of governors directs and oversees the army of volunteers to stage the three-day festival.
An estimated 500 RV owners, friends and family are offered the opportunity to stay in Mission Bay Park for the weekend.
"We want the families to come out and enjoy the vendors, just like they do at the Del Mar Fair," said Davies, who has been a board member for 15 years.
He said the event was scheduled in September so hotels can have one more shot for summer business.
A VisionQuest survey taken two years ago revealed that Bayfair was responsible for generating 13,600 room nights and in excess of $1.7 million in hotel revenue.
Over the years, it has been estimated that five million people have attended the festival.

Allowing a third-party server to reset passwords seems like a bad idea to me. Email verification is also slow and annoying - although is not so bad if you can just click a link
sorcerykid wrote:I'll give you credit, as this is certainly is a noble concept, in principle. However, it doesn't really improve trust nor security since there is no guarantee that personal data being collected and stored by a third party (one which has no certification for handling such data) cannot be compromised or otherwise mishandled.
I think it's one thing for a single service to request confidential information for use exclusively by that service, but entirely another to create a central agency of sorts that uses confidential information to authenticate across a variety of disparate services. That is a whole different can of worms. The link rnd shared is an apt concern as well. Just some thoughts.
rnd wrote:updated my top comment. More long term idea, requires 1 trusted point ( i assume server list page is trusted), also works transparently in background, no need for any 'mail verify' - basically it emulates ideas from https:
1. make 'certificate authority' that issues server certificates ( basically public keys from 'public cryptography, private key is sent to server owner). List of those public keys can then be made freely accessible - on server list maybe.
2. when you connect to server client sends to server random challenge to digitally sign by server and then checks the signature using servers public key. If signature valid - this verifies server is who it says it is.
3. same thing could be done for client ( server checks authenticity of client )

Razer Lachesis 3G Gaming Mouse Review
When a soldier goes into battle he makes sure he has the best weapon he can fight with. Well, in the world of gaming the the best weapon is the mouse you use. Just like you would not fight a war with a slingshot, you should not game with a white box mouse. Mice have come a long way in the years getting more precise with better technology. The latest being laser technology which allows unparalleled accuracy in any situation.
The Razer Lachesis 3G mouse is the latest of the RAZER line of gaming mice. The Lachesis is named after the venomous "Lachesis Muta Muta" which is Latin for "Bringer of Silent Death" . The Razer Lachesis is a 3G laser mouse with an ultra sensitive 4000 DPI. For those of you that never heard of the 3G laser it is technology developed by Razer that allows for true DPI which is not interpolated by software. The 3G laser in the Lachesis allows for a max tracking speed of 60-100 IPS (Inches per Second) and an acceleration rate of 25g (245 meters per second). With all of that said does the increased DPI and speed make the difference? Well, lets put the Lachesis to the test and find out for ourselves.
Closer Look:
If the packaging gives a hint to what the Razer Lachesis has to offer I am already anxious to use it. The box has a sleek look to it showing you the lethal device inside just waiting to be released. The back highlights the key points of the Lachesis in ten different languages. The sides have features and a word from Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff on what makes the Lachesis the best mouse on the market.
Opening the front cover flap gives an eerie sense of the "Snake" emerging from it's cave. This gives you a really good view of the Lachesis in it's natural habitat. The inside of the cover has a passage explaining what the "Bringer of Silent Death" will do to it's enemies.
Included in the box is the Lachesis mouse, manual, quick start guide, certificate of authenticity, a brochure about the Lachesis, a brochure of other RAZER products, two RAZER logo stickers, and the driver CD.

Hi, I am hoping to get some input on a situation I haven't read much about here. Currently DS is only 5 months so I've got quite awhile before I really need to think about weaning, but still curious.
I would like to continue nursing beyond one year, but my concern with so-called 'baby-led weaning' is that the child often seems to continue to nurse until age 3 or even 4. I don't think I'm comfortable nursing a child that old (no judgement on others, just not for me or my family). I think ideally, I'd like to wean between 18 months and 2 years. The thing is, I don't want it to be hard on DS emotionally when we wean. I have heard that it's often easy to wean a baby between 9 months and a year because they're naturally so distractible and curious at that age anyway, but often hard to wean an older baby of 15 months or more because they become quite attached to nursing.
I'm just wondering if this is true? If I keep nursing past a year will it be harder to wean when I do want to? What is the chance that DS might wean by himself by about age 2 or so? If he doesn't wean by himself, what can I do to make this less emotionally traumatic for him? Or would I be better off just weaning him at age 1 or so, before he's old enough to be all that attached to nursing or remember it for very long?
I love BF'ing DS now, I just don't think I want to be nursing a 3 year old and I'm afraid that's what will happen if we go totally with baby-led weaning. At the same time, I'm reluctant to cut our nursing relationship short at one year old. A one-year-old is still a baby to me and it would be nice if we could nurse up until 18 months-2 years. I realize my feelings about nursing an older toddler may change when I get there, but if they don't, how hard will it be to wean an 18 month-2year old? Would it be easier to just do it at age one instead?
Thanks in advance for your input!

Music to Your Ears
Two R.I.P.s begin this week's column. After decades in business—I can't say exactly how many years because the phone has already been disconnected—Midnight Rodeo closed its doors for good last Tuesday. Word on the street is that ownership simply grew tired of the nightclub business and retired. Who could blame them? More than just a country bar in the Heights, Midnight Rodeo played host to just about every '80s metal washout band I can think of, and was also home to Gotham, the dance club for folks with a closet full of black clothing and a penchant for the occasional wet T-shirt contest. Midnight Rodeo's was a niche that isn't easily replaced. ... Nonsequitur, the organization that for many years has presented some of the finest quality experimental music in the Southwest has, sadly, ceased to exist in New Mexico. Nonsequitur's driving force, Steve Peters, has moved to Seattle, Wash. where he's taken a job as Arts Program Manager at Jack Straw Productions. Peters will continue to present Nonsequitur events in Seattle, and those interested in keeping tabs can e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com to remain on the listserve. ... Singer-songwriter and former Albuquerque resident Jason Riggs will be back in town for the first time in many moons on Saturday, July 10, for a CD release concert at Winning's Coffee at 8 p.m. The CD, titled Pawn Shop Special, contains a track or two locals might recognize from Riggs' debut released back in the Dingo days, but it's full of new material that's quite refreshing. Visit www.jasonriggs.com to get a copy of the new record or pick one up at the show.

H. Warren Knight, 83, a retired Orange County judge who in 1979 founded a private mediation and arbitration service in Santa Ana that has since expanded to offices across the country and to Canada and Europe, died Nov. 15 at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach of complications from lung disease.
His death was announced by his company, which is now based in Irvine and known as JAMS the Resolution Experts.
Knight was an Orange County Superior Court judge looking forward to early retirement when he founded Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. The firm offered what was then an emerging concept called alternative dispute resolution, in which retired judges, for a fee, serve as third-party deciders in disputes between companies and individuals. Knight sought to provide a quicker settlement than what litigants could expect in a civil court case.
Within a decade of its founding, Knight's company had expanded to Los Angeles and San Diego. It later merged with a similar Washington-based mediation firm and opened offices in cities across the United States, as well as in Toronto and London. It has affiliates in Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland.
Knight was born Oct. 16, 1929, in Charleston, W.Va., and received bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Virginia. He came to California while serving in the Marine Corps in the late 1950s.

Sofia Vergara wouldn't like engagement ring if it were any smaller
The Modern Family star's businessman boyfriend popped the question during Vergara's recent 40th birthday celebrations in Mexico and sealed the deal with an eight-carat cushion cut ring.
Vergara admits she would have thought twice about becoming Mrs. Loeb if the sparkler was smaller.
She tells Lucky magazine, "It is perfection. If it was bigger, it would be too big to wear. But if it was smaller, I would not like (it)."
And the Colombian beauty has no shame in admitting she and her husband-to-be appreciate the finer things in life: "I love luxury. I love yachts. I love planes. I love trips. I can live without all of them, and I have, but I am not going to apologise and pretend I don't love luxury, because I do."
