Not Sure Where to Start?
Not knowing what to do when you transition out of the military is extremely common. Some veterans start with a transitioning out of the military checklist.
Whether you have the GI Bill in your back pocket or a new career already lined up, that sense of doubt and uncertainty is hard to shake. The resources below will help firm up your military to civilian transition plans, whether you have some idea of the direction you're headed or you haven't a clue.
Transition Readiness Quiz
By answering 10-30 questions, our Transition Readiness Quiz can measure your readiness when it comes to your education path, career track or if you need help figuring out exactly which direction you should head.
It's extremely common for servicemembers getting out of the military to not be certain about what lies ahead. Through this revolutionary quiz we're able to determine not only which direction you should head (school vs. employment) but also how prepared you are to make that transition.
The TRQ can be taken at anytime. If you haven't yet attended TAP class, your quiz results will let you know what you should pay attention to most in your training. If you have already attended, the quiz will determine how much of that information you retained and how much more research you need to do to ensure you're as prepared as possible for transition.
CCFIT Quiz
We started with the skill and knowledge requirements of top jobs sought by our Military Friendly® Employers. Through thorough statistical analysis, this produced eight different job groupings. By answering a group of questions about your likes and dislikes, our Civilian Career FITness Quiz will align you with the career grouping that you're best suited for.
Once you've decided to head down the path towards a new career, you're met with another dilema. Do you choose a career similar to the MOS you've been doing for the past decade? Or is now the ideal time to try something new? Our CCFIT quiz will use your likes and dislikes to statistically align you with the industry you'll thrive best in.
The CCFIT Quiz was created specifically for those who choose the civilian career path upon their transition from the military. Taking this quiz at anytime during that process will help focus your search when it comes to job applications.

The DSA Back-up job was succuessful, but when I try to restore it from the same it gives the error: 2640 : " Specified Table does not exist in ALL".
Did anyone encountered this before? Looking for a root cause and solution for this issue.
Unfortunatley looks like you might have hit the issue outlined in KCS001066 workaround is to restore the individual items rather at whole database level.
Yes, the KCS is created referencing to the solution we found during the investigation. :) But don't know what caused it yet.
Thanks for the reply.

The history of modern urban planning has revealed consequences of segregation, inequality, destr uction of the public realm, social exclusion and which have drawn new urban borders and have fostered the proliferation of so -called "fourth worlds", especially in Latin America. These informal settlements that coexist spatially with the first worlds of de veloping countries apply increasing pressure inside cities themselves and constantly redefine complex, contested territories. The paper introduces two cases denominated "Collectors", not to compare them, but to explore transferable and valuable urban condi tions due to their interest of being between a formal / informal status. Firstly, the Teddy Cruz's project Casa Familiar in San Ysidro, San Diego, where a complex mediation process is proposed to generate diversity and social sustainability in a marginaliz ed neighborhood. Secondly, the Centro Financiero Cofinanzas in Caracas, a 45 -story complex of 111,000 m 2 known as the Torre David; Before the forcible eviction in July 2014, this unfinished symbol of financial monopolies was appropriated and reconverted by its dwellers into a complex, alternative piece of the city in just seven years. In both cases, the concepts of infrastructure and architecture were intelligently blurred, leading to the transformation of an urban, social millstone. Are there real values on them that could be incorporated into the urban design process? The purpose of this paper is to uncover useful clues, to redefine social infrastructure as an open -ended system, to respond to the speed, complexity and diversity of the contemporary city's local urban processes

So i just got a job in child care! WOOO! It only pays $7 an hour but whatever, but its all good. Money rocks so I'll take what I can get. My dad wants me to pick up a second job, buuuuut we'll see. It depends how many hours I get on this one.
I'm supposed to be keeping a journal…hasn't happened yet. Oops…ha…I'm such a slacker. But only when it comes to journals.
I watched a play the other day that made me realize what I was doing wrong in my acting, hopefully I'll be able to be better next year! SEE I OBSERVED DAMN IT! I DID WHAT YOU ASKED! You know who you are…
On a side note: I'm now obsessed with Evil Dead the Musical…it makes me wish I could sing…just a little bit. Seriously the songs are incredibly catchy for being based off of a B movie from the 80's. WOO Bruce Campbell. I bow to your superior awesome-ness.
…on another random note…we should seriously hop on this Zombie movie guys. I have a camera. We could seriously just run around in the woods and scream alot. And run chest first like that chick in Evil Dead (And almost ever horror movie ever made) who gets violated by the tree. Thats something you should never do when running from…well…anything really. Don't run chest first. It'll throw off your balance. And then you'll get violated by possessed evil trees. Or an axe murderer.
Or you'll just fall on your face, either way. Not fun.
Later yo's!
*Sigh* Photoshop…
So I'm working on a photoshop presentation for English class. Not my favorite thing to do, I'd rather write paper any day. Its not that I don't LIKE being creative, just not while using computers. I think technology hates me. Like ALLOT. I took a test online yesterday and the results never got sent in (YAY inquisit *rolls eyes*) THUS earning me a zero. Which make me UNBELIEVABLY happy let me tell you *Pushing the sarcasm button* *sigh*On the upside, Bon Jovi ROCKS and…so does Fiction Plane. I'm going to a Fiction Plane concert in C-bus next week, and I'm really excited. YAAAAAY Fiction Plane, AND They're playing with Cold War Kids, which is awesome. All in all, I'm excited. Sure, I have to go to class the next morning, and I have to drive three hours to get to C-bus from here…but hey, I'm in college. I'm allowed to do stupid things THAT way in the future I can say "Yeah, this one time in college I drove three hours to se Fiction Plane when I had CLASS the next day…I ROCK…" My hallway is really loud…they've been screaming allot lately. Not sure why, I generally don't ask. But it does get rather annoying at points.You know what else is annoying? Our elevators don't work. Therefor I have to walk up 8 floors of stairs, like…all the time. And that sucks. I all ready lost 15 pounds! I don't need to lose anymore!! Granted I may not be in shape but still…I think the fact that I now weigh like 125 pounds speaks for itself. I don't need to weigh 120…or even 115. I'd look disgustingly thin and that just wouldn't make me happy. I know hollywood seems to think that being able to see a persons bones is AMAZINGLY attractive, but really…its gross. Come on. Angelina Jolie's arms…are disgusting. She may be pretty but her arms make me want to throw up. She needs to eat a damn cookie or something… that is all. Comment if you'd like! Later all!!!
I havn't updated in quite a long time…sorry all!
So I'm going home this weekend!! YAY!!! ^_^ I havn't been home in quite a long time…two months to be exact. I'm excited to see everyone.
Lots of stuff has happened since I last updated. I have a boyfriend now. He's 25, and the sweetest guy ever. I like him allot, I wish he'd let me pay for stuff sometimes, cus I feel bad that he always pays…but thats something I'll just have to keep working on.
He's 6 years older then me…its a little hard to handle at times. Most of the time it doesn't matter at all. I'm mature and he's very careful around me…but sometimes I do sorta wish I was going out with someone my own age. Not enough to leave my relationship behind, I mean I REALLY like him and he really likes me and thats all that matters…its just weird sometimes…you know?
Boy called me today. I havn't actually SPOKEN to him in like 5 months. SUre we talked over AIM, but it was weird to hear his voice. He called completely at random to. We're gona hang out this weekend I think, hopefully it won't cause to much angst…I'm commited to my boyfriend and now he has a girlfriend so we should be okay…but still…he'll always ALWAYS be the boy that could have been…which is difficult. I mean I guess I still like him…thats a lie I DO still like him, but I've got to come to grips with the fact that we'll never ever be together.
I've moved on. I've got a boyfriend now who I adore and who adores me. Thats all I need.
Its just weird he called me…
yay for angst.
I should finish packing so I can go home…Talk to ya'll later and I'll let you know what went on this weekend. yupyup!!
Surefire ways to make yourself feel sick…
Surefire ways to make yourself feel sick…and several other things I've learned…
1. stay up til 4am repeatedly when you KNOW you have to get up at 8:00
2. Stay up til 3am, get up at 8am…chug two starbucks double shots befor English class…and then not eat anything til like 1:00…
3. Chug a thing of milk befor English class…
4. Cleaning apparently…I cleaned yesterday and all it got me was a stuffed up nose…damn dust. Either I should give up or clean more often…dunno which I'd rather do. Clean more often I think…
…I'm sure there are more ways, I just havn't done anything else to abuse myself by accident yet…
You know what else I learned…always have your umbrella…cus the ONE time you don't have it with you…it will inevitably pour.
OH! and…try not to leave your shoes in random classrooms…it makes life difficult…
Annnnnd the best music to listen to if you wanna wake up is Mika. Not Breaking Benjamin…although they rock…
You know whats weird…I drank two double shot espresso things this morning…didn't feel the slightest bit more energized. I'm worried that I'm just immune to caffein at this point…and if coffee won't wake me up, what in the hell am I supposed to do? Grawr.
Fiction Plane ROCKED!!!!
So, as you may have guessed Kathryn and I were able to navigate our way to the Fiction Plane concert in Cinci, and I'm SOOOO GLAD WE DID!!!!
It was one of the best days of my life hands down. 😀 I'm uber happy. It makes up for any other crap thats gone down this year it really does. Let me tell you why. So…
I'm obsessed with Fiction Plane. If you havn't noticed 😉 I've loved them since I got my hands on their first CD Everything Will Never Be OK. Which I've had since like 8'th grade. Needless to say I've liked them for a LONG time.
So Kathryn and I get to the concert, and it was a really pretty place. They had benches to sit on so we made our way to the front. After chatting for a bit, I notice a guy walk out from the stage area. I blinked for a bit as he walked past and sat down behind us. Suddenly it hit me. It was Joe Sumner, the lead singer. I freaked out, poked Kathryn in the side a bit, squaled, and debated going over and saying hi. No one else seemed to notice him really except the people sitting next to him. So I gathered up my courage and went to say hi.
Let me tell you I have never been so tounge twisted in my life. It was downright embaressing, but Joe didn't seem to mind all that much. At least I hope not. I blathered on for awhile about how I liked Everything will never Be OK, but how the new CD Left Side Of the Brain was AMAZING. I think I told him it was addicting like ten times and which point he said "Nothing clinical right?" and I was like "No its a GOOD addicting" and the cinversation went on for awhile befor I said "I made my friend drive me two hours from Columbus to come see you…" ANd he was like "THANKS!" and I was like "Thank you for playing to close to Columbus." which he didn't really have a response for, he just shrugged and smiled. And then he shook my hand and I bounced off back to my seat and he walked back to the stage.
I then freaked out about how Joe Sumner had just shook my hand and was slightly concerned that I had come off as a freak. I actually told him "I'm sorry I'm such a dork" at one point in the conversation because I couldn't seem to string two words together.
So then came the actual concert. They played a pretty short set, but as short as it was…it was amazing. Their energy as a band is fantastic. You can't really take your eyes off of them. Its great. ANYWAY the music was amazing but sadly after about 40 minutes or so it came to an end. At which point someone was like "They're signing autographs after the concert."
So I bounded up to where there were signing with Kathryn and waited paitently. At least…as much as a 19 year old CAN. Especially a hyper, adrenaline filled ADD 19 year old can. Kathryn grabbed a poster since I didn't have a CD, and FINALLY we got to the front of the line. The astounding part was that when we got there Joe looked at me and was like "HEY!! So thanks for driving two hours, and we're glad we could play so close to Columbus…we'll try to get there soon!" and I was like "AWESOME! And it was a GREAT SHOW!" and he was like "Thanks…" and we chatted some more (I won't bore ya'll with more mindless chatter…) and we said goodbye, when he shook my hand AGAIN. 😀 I didn't see him offering his hand to anyone else (he probably did cus he's cool like that, I just most likely blocked it out in attempt to make myself feel cool. Which I think I am…sort of.)
ANYWAY, not only did I shake his hand once but TWICE…so in conclusion I can die happy. The only thing that would make me happier is seeing them again.
yeah. I just find it awesome that not only is Joe cool all three members of the band are. They ROCK!
I'm done now I promise. And I'm sorry for any typos…my spell check thing doesn't work…
LISTEN TO FICTION PLANE!! Press the button on this thing!
Talk to you later all!
Off to Cinci for the day!
So I convinced my parents to let Kathryn and I go to Cincinnati for the day. But everyone's alittle worries that we're going to get shot or robbed or something. I'm pretty damn sure we'll both be fine. The concert ends at 8:00 so its not like we'll be driving around in the dark. It doesn't get really dark til like 9:45.
But in case I get lost and die I request that I'm bauried with my iPod, and will someone please tell Sean Bean just how much I loved him? 😉
I'm joking, we'll be fine. If we get lost we'll lock the doors and I'll call one of my 19 family members that could escort us out of the city.
I GET TO GO SEE FICTION PLANE!!! YAAAAY!!! 🙂 I'm SOOO excited!!! I hope this works out I really do. I just don't want to Jinx it or anything. Mhmm. Rock on.
As for now, I'm waiting for my brother to get out of the shower, and my grandparents to come and visit befor I leave. Because they know their way around cinci better then I do. Yeah…
I ❤ Aaron Eckhart. Did I mention that to anyone else? I think I did. I'm just…saying it again befor I go because I have no idea how else to end this post.
Later all!!
I'm feeling…despondent…
SO, I just went over to boys house to hang out with his sister Isabel. Which was cool, because I love Isabel…but it felt wrong somehow.
She doesn't know about the whole thing with her brother, unless he were to have told her…which I don't think he did. But I mean it felt odd to be watching a movie at his house because I know that had I said something (Or had HE said something I'm not ENTIRELY at fault here) then I could have been watching movies at his house for months! But NOOOOOO he has to be to shy…and I'm just plain STUPID.
I hate boys.
Why can't I get him out of my head. I think about him ALL the time. Well not ALL the time, thoughts of him don't RULE my life or anything, but still. Its annoying.
You know what else annoys me? The thought that I'm the only one struggling with this. I mean do I make HIM despondent? Probably not. Although if I learned that I DID make him despondent I would be INCREDIBLY happy.
which is sad.
You wanna hear something awkward? My gay guy friend has a crush on my straight guy friend…and I don't know what to do about it.
I hate boys.
So, I was rudely awoken this morning by the sound of Bryan (My little brother) knocking on my door saying that I had to watch Sean (My Other little brother, who's 5) because Bryan had driving lessons, So I got up.
And now I'm really tired because I inexplicably stayed up til 3:00 last night and since I woke up at 8:00 I'm running on 5 hours of sleep!! YAY!! Go me.
Well its summer, I didn't know I had to get up today no one shared that bit of information with me.
So now I'm sitting at my dads computer typing and watching Sean play a Video game where he shoots at rabbits with a plunger…
Its sort of surreal really, watching a five year old shoot plungers at animated rabbits. But the rabbits have their OWN plungers and shoot back so…I guess its OK. Especially since you don't ACTUALLY SHOOT them, with like a gun.
And hey! There's a rabbit wearing sunglasses and a bandanna so I guess its unrealistic anyway.
It kinda sounds like a dogs dream. Or maybe nightmare?? who knows.
The soap opera ends…only to be continued.
So. Boy is officially gone. I think.
I'm not really sure if he's left yet…
But I'm not gonna like call and check. So We'll just assume he's gone.
I went to a grad party yesterday and both Boy and Liam were there. I was really happy because the last time we had spoken I had said goodbye really quickly and there was really no closure of any sort. Or at least any sort that I had wanted. But yesterday we ACTUALLY said goodbye. He gave me a hug, said he'd still have an Internet connection over the summer so "Don't worry" and that I'd better come to the shows next year.
And then he was gone.
*Sigh* I proceeded to go over to Michelle and force myself to stop the tears that I knew were coming. I mean who cries at a grad party?? Really that would have been rude.
But it was still sad, and now there's this feeling of like emptiness because well…he's gone.
Yes I KNOW I'm melodramatic I'm sorry. He was the first guy that I really liked, that I KNOW liked me back. And I let him slip through my fingers.
Its tragic I tell you. TRAGIC!!!
But I guess its also a part of being a teenager.
At least now I know that I can get a guy to like me.
*Sigh* ANYWAY!!
My grad party is today, that should be interesting. There are alot of people who've told me they can't come, but allot of people who've told me they will. I'm not expecting a huge turnout but my mom is…so we'll see.
I have to deal with the relatives, whom I love don't get me wrong. But some of them are so insane they deserve their own reality TV show. They make me laugh so it's all good.
I should go make sure my mom isn't having an aneurysm over something that isn't going right…
Later all!! ❤
I think my life should be turned into a TV show…
No really, and not just any TV show but like one of the melodramatic teenage ones that they show on The N or whatever the hell that network is.
But no really.
I've been feeling sorta emo lately and it's mostly because of boy. Ohhhh the things I could say about boy. Just when I think I'm over him, the world decides I'm not and everything comes crashing back down on my head like a gigantic tidal wave of teenage hormones and crushed hopes.
I said I was feeling emo! Believe me now? I bet you do.
ANYWAY, I went to a grad party today and Boy was there. We sorta talked for awhile, but I mostly talked to his best friend, Liam (Who happens to be a good friend of mine as well). After awhile we both moved on to diffrent places in the back yard and I was able to make myself look less despondent. Or at least less like I was pining. Which I was. I won't lie…there's no point. So later on I ended up chilling on a hamock, which was huge and REALLY comfortable, with Erika. All was fine til boy and Liam came over and sat down. and by sat…I don't really mean sat it was more like lie because who can really sit in a hamock?
ANYWAY there we were the four of us on this hamock, with me squished between Liam and boy. I mean I was on top of boy for like 15 minuets and it made me think of things that I COULD have had but can't because…well the timing of life sucks.
All in all we just goofed off for a bit, he laughed at my story about how I ate crayons once when I was little (Which he said explained alot, hahaha) , and swore to me that my eyes have changed colors all this year. Which strikes me as odd. Liam was like "You're eyes are BLUE?!" and I was like…"Duh?" and then Liam swore to me that they were green awhile back, and Brown at the beggining of the year. Which boy backed up.
Why am I telling you this?? Dunno. *Sigh* ANYWAY!!!
Dave then came over and they tried to make room for him even though I highly dislike him for the most part, and Boy and Liam pulled me up higher on the Hamock so my shoulder was underneath Boys head.
And it was really comfortable.
God we fit so freakin well together, I mean I just feel RIGHT with him you know. and its AWFUL because I won't see him again for a REALLY REALLY LONG TIME. S0 a relationship of any kind is OUT OF THE QUESTION.
Let me go back a bit, Boy and I got to know each other at the beggining of the year since we were both in theatre. He was in a show with me in January (Arsenic and Old Lace) and, according to Liam, he's liked me ever since. I had a conversation with Boy a couple of weeks ago where he said he would have asked me out then but another girl had asked him to the Valentines day dance. So it never happened. And then he broke up with that other girl and we've been talking circles around each other ever since.
and it sucks.
Because we could have been together since January but neither of us said a friken word, and now its GONE. Because he leaves in two days for camp, and when he gets back from that camp he leaves for ANOTHER camp. Essentially he's GONE until AFTER I leave for college.
*sigh* I hate life.
It makes me want to cry, I hate this feeling of what could have been. My advice for you is to take you're chances and always SAY SOMETHING.
I wouldn't be here now if I had. And it sucks.
wow I've rambled on alot.
Tp make things a bit more complicated, I think that sice I've been tryinging to get over boy, I've switched my feelings over to Liam.
Which may or may not be a bad thing.
I hate people…
but!! Good news I'M 19 NOW!! WOOOOOOO!!!!
I'll post again later. Night all!!

Milling Cedar Posts
>> Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Last February I did a post entitled Skidding Logs Out of the Woods. I mentioned that the logs would have to be milled into 6" X 6" posts at a later date, and that would be the subject of another post. Today that activity got underway.
Shortly after moving here to Cedar Ridge Farm Darryl purchased plans he found advertised on the internet for building his own sawmill. He would have liked to have had a nice band mill but just could not afford it. The mill he built per the plans he obtained uses a big chainsaw. This is slower in operation and loses a bit more of the log due to the thicker cut that is made but it does a nice job.
Pictured here is Darryl adjusting the cutting position on his mill. The basic procedure is to cut off the rounded sides on all four sides of the log, leaving the squared 6" X 6" posts. In this picture the log has just been loaded onto the mill and Darryl is getting set to cut the first slab.
Cutting is underway. The chain saw, with a 36" cutting bar, is mounted in a movable carriage that Darryl pushes as the saw cuts its way through the log.
Both the top and bottom cuts have been made and one of the sides is now being slabbed off.
Here is a close-up view of a finished post which has been loaded onto the truck.
Pictured here is part of the finished work of the day
In the foreground is the pile of slabs that were cut from the logs milled today. In the background are the logs that yet remained to be milled.

Get credit where credit is due.
Spurred by horror stories of credit denial to hard-working Americans based on inaccurate information, the nation's credit bureaus have been under the gun.
Depending on whom you talk with, the nagging problem of mistakes in individual credit files is either understated or exaggerated. Whichever is the case, every American must understand how credit works, how to find out whether a record is accurate and how to make corrections if necessary.

Even though we do not experience all four seasons in California, Autumn is my favorite for one lovely reason: Honeycrisp apples. I start trolling the supermarket aisles in anticipation the last few weeks of September hoping to catch the first harvest. It's a little crazy, but if you've had one you understand.
I used to be all about Fuji, until a few years ago when I was visiting a friend in Austin and she turned me on to Honeycrisp. I haven't looked back since. I've managed to get a few more people hooked, but haven't told too many folks, for fear of depleting the local supply. I'm not good at sharing, sorry.
Luckily the store my sister works at has an amazing deal right now, $4.88 for a 3 lb. bag. I can go through a bag or a bag and half a week if left to my own devices. I have been eating two a day for the past few weeks, but every now and then I'll sneak in a third. They're just so delicious I can't help myself. An open bag is an empty bag.
p.s. Sorry for the short entry but I spent most of my day at the DMV. I had a honeycrisp apple, yummy tempeh scramble from Vegan Brunch, two cups of tea and it was time to go get in line.

Laser hair removal is one of latest trends of pampering oneself with smooth beautiful skin. Skincare is an integral part of beauty care and it is no longer restricted to just applying facial packs and other medicated or natural products for enhancing the glow of the skin but with the increasing number of new technologies and tools coming up in the market, it has achieved to set entirely different goals.
Certain treatments have reached up to permanent removal of various undesirable marks and patches on skin like birthmarks, stretch marks, tattoos, pimples, acne, psoriasis and eczema. Along with all this, laser hair removal is also enjoying popularity as a permanent solution for getting rid of all unwanted hairs in the body. The wellness centers offering laser removal service are offering various low priced packages personalized according to the requirements of the patient.
A patient interested in laser hair removal need to go for 6 sittings.
The parts of the body for which hair removal by laser is employed includes- Back, Belly, Bikini line, Breasts, Buttocks, Cheeks, Chest, Ears, Eyebrows, Feet, Forehead, Full legs, Hairline, Half arms, Hands, Lower leg, Neck, Nostrils, Shoulders and Under arms.
When it comes to unwanted hair growth, it leads to lack of confidence in a person and so laser hair treatment these days have become so popular and effective. Particularly persons associated with the entertainment world need to look glamorous and charming. Undesirable hairs at different locations in the body can be removed totally by the laser skin treatment available for both men and women. Packages for men include hair removal from full body, back, chest and beard area and for women comprises of facial, chin, leg, bikini line and full body.
This process features a laser ray that is passed straight away to the area of the body to be treated. The hair follicles underlying the upper skin membrane come in contact with the laser ray and get blocked due to which new hairs cannot grow out of those hair follicles. Laser hair treatment is quite expensive if compared to the charges of waxing or hair removal creams. However services guarantee professional skin treatment from skilled therapists and skin care experts. And as a part of the competitive world, a prominent clinic usually offers discounted prices on special packages as well.

Bottling Isn't Growing: A Reflection on Canadian Wine for Canada Day
By Remy Charest | Published: June 30, 2017
Do wines bottled in Canada have a positive impact on jobs in the country? Sure. Does a wine bottled in Canada have a greater positive impact on our economy than a wine that comes straight to Canada in bottles? Yes, you can argue that. But there is no way that cheap Chilean or Californian with a splash of Ontario wine can be called Canadian wine, or that it does anything for the development of Canadian wine in the true sense of the word. It's plain stupid to try to argue otherwise, or maintain an outlook that confuses the issue.

Cellared in Canada: changes in the stores and labels, but no help for Ontario growers

Integrative roles of transforming growth factor-α in the cytoprotection mechanisms of gastric mucosal injury
Integrative roles of transforming growth factor-α in the cytoprotection mechanisms of gastric mucosal injury - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
BMC Gastroenterology
, 6:22
First Online: 01 August 2006Received: 22 December 2005Accepted: 01 August 2006
BackgroundTransforming growth factor α TGFα protects against gastric mucosal injury and facilitates wound healing. However, its overexpression is known to induce hypertrophic gastropathy resembling Menetrier-s disease in transgenic TG mice on an FVB background, as one of the authors reported previously. We studied another TGFα-expressing mouse line on a CD1 background, whose gastric mucosa appears normal. Since this TG mouse had a strong resistance to ethanol-induced gastric injury, we considered the long-term effect of TGFα on several gastric protection mechanisms.
MethodsTGFα-expressing transgenic TG mouse lines bearing human TGFα cDNA under the control of the mouse metallothionein gene I promoter were generated on a CD1 mouse background, and analyzed their ethanol injury-resistant phenotypes produced by TGFα.
ResultsIn the TG mucosa, blood flow was well maintained after ethanol injury. Further, neural and inducible types of NO synthases were consistently and widely expressed in the TG mucosa, compared with the limited distribution of neural type NO synthase in the luminal pit region of the wild-type WT mucosa. COX-2 and its upstream transcription factor NfkB were constitutively elevated in the TG mucosa even before ethanol administration, whereas they were induced in the same region of the WT mucosa only after ethanol injury. Two anti-apoptotic proteins, HSP70 and Bcl-2, were upregulated in the TG mucosa even before ethanol administration, while they were not expressed in the WT mucosa before the injury. Furthermore, pro-caspase 3 activation was inhibited in the TG mucosa, while it was converted to the active form in the WT mucosa following ethanol administration.
ConclusionWe conclude that TGFα maintains the gastric mucosal defense against gastric injury by integrating other cytoprotective mechanisms.

Murphy's Law – Building a better washing machine
I'd love a flying car. Or a teleporter. Or one of those machines that rehydrate tiny pizzas, turning them into delicious full-sized pizzas. But, more than anything, if we are ever going to make it as a futuristic utopia, someone really needs to come up with a new way of doing laundry.
Watching all of those old sci-fi films as a kid, I always wondered why people in the future just suddenly started wearing matching unitards. It always seemed odd that people would throw fashion to the wind and just start rocking matching silver jumpers. But as I've gotten older, it makes a lot more sense. Part of the reason their future societies have become so perfect is because they finally just went to one all-purpose, easy-to-wash outfit. Maybe they are self-cleaning. Or maybe they can just be thrown away after one use. Whatever the case, notice that you never see those smiling future people sitting in front of a washing machine waiting for the spin cycle to end. Because those smiles would fade pretty damn fast.
Don't get me wrong. We definitely have it better than our ancestors did. The idea of making multiple trips to the well to get enough water to hand wash your clothes on a scrubbing board does not seem like my idea of a cheery afternoon. According to Wikipedia (which, let's be honest, is as much research as any of us are ever going to do on this subject, so you might as well just accept it as fact):
Laundering by hand involves soaking, beating, scrubbing and rinsing dirty textiles. Before indoor plumbing, the housewife also had to carry all the water used for washing, boiling and rinsing the laundry; according to an 1886 calculation, women fetched water eight to ten times every day from a pump, well or spring. Water for the laundry would be hand carried, heated on a fire for washing, then poured into the tub. That made the warm soapy water precious; it would be reused, first to wash the least soiled clothing, then to wash progressively dirtier laundry. Removal of soap and water from the clothing after washing was originally a separate process. First soap would be rinsed out with clear water. After rinsing, the soaking wet clothing would be formed into a roll and twisted by hand to extract water. The entire process often occupied an entire day of hard work, plus drying and ironing.
I get exhausted just reading that. I honestly can't imagine what a game changer the electric washing machine was.
But here's the thing – the electric washing machine was first introduced around the dawn of the 20th century. Newspapers as early as 1904 make mention of electric washing machines. So it's a technology that has been around for over 100 years now. Doesn't it seem like we are overdue for some innovation?
Apple comes out with a new iPhone or a new Macbook every few months. Every time you go to the grocery store, someone has added another blade to your razor. The Reese's company seems to change the size of the content of their peanut butter cup on a whim just to shake things up. So where's a fucking breakthrough, washing machine makers?
Sure, they've played around with top-loading washers versus front-loading washers. And sure, they've made some progress in the way of making those behemoths more energy efficient. But that's it. What they haven't done is found a way to make washing clothes fast and easy enough that I don't lose all motivation to put away a load by the time the process has finished.
I mean, seriously, who can stay motivated throughout the entire washing and drying process? Despite my best intentions, I completely stop caring about doing laundry five seconds after I move my clothes to the dryer. I have a load sitting on top of the dryer right now from when I washed them five days ago. They are just lying there, forgotten and wrinkled, like unvisited, retirement-home-dwelling grandparents. They'll probably stay there until I run out of clean clothes and have to do another load.
And that's doing laundry in my house. Forget going to a laundromat. That's pretty much the most soul-sucking way to waste a Saturday. There's pretty much nothing to do inside a laundromat watching your clothes slowly tumble around inside a big, noisy dryer than to question the series of life decisions that led to you being in a laundromat instead of owning your own place with its own washer and dryer. It's a dark place to be, my friends. A dark place indeed.
So let's see some innovation. Some bored guy in Phoenix, Arizona made a wheelchair with a flame thrower attached to it, for cripes' sake. So step up your game, people. Surely, there must be something we can do to speed up the washing/drying process. Or there must be a way to make the clothes fold themselves. As I've documented before, I'm terrified of robots, but if you can get me one to do the impossible task of properly folding a freshly-laundered bed sheet so that I don't have to, I might accept my inevitable enslavement by my metallic overlords as a fair trade off.
GE, now that you got rid of the sinking ship that is NBC, why don't you do something worthwhile? And Maytag, get that worthless repairman off his lazy ass and into the design room. It's the future, people – it's time we have a washing machine that reflects that.
In the meantime, I'll be shopping for silver unitards.

The white polyester suit. The pulsing Bee Gees soundtrack. The electric moves. Travolta strutted into stardom, all attitude and sexuality, to define the disco era in this dark tale of a working-class kid who finds escapism in dancing.

Oh yeah, another Tunnel View image, and it's not the last of it. Many of you might think that this is getting boring, but not for me. Maybe because I live and work in the city, I just love to see clouds over the mountains and fog bank cover the valley like this.
I go Yosemite National Park quite often, and Tunnel View always on the list. When visit at the right time, with the right weather condition, Tunnel View can become a magical place like heaven.

So glad you like my projects with the kitchen paper. So much goes to waste and we need to look at our rubbish with new eyes and give it a new lease of life!

Now, you may think that your blue circles are wonky but I think that one is my favorite! Yes, it is. I just love it. How great to have a series of coffee pots. I bought some 5 x 7 canvases and want to make a series but can't decide what yet. Something will come....

Oh wow, that coffee pot is handsome! I just love those shades of blue and it really comes to light after you've given a doing with the brush.
As I write, I'm just opposite your Charlie boy. He's a very handsome fellow - has he been around long? And does he talk? I just mentioned to someone else that my aunt had a sulphur-crested cocky for about fifty years and I suppose corellas live for a long time too. I remember seeing them playing in the sand dunes along the Birdsville Track. They were hysterically funny, squawking and somersaulting down the slope then flying back to start again.
Take care,

Cobham: Chelsea signed Brazilian international midfielder Ramires on Friday but their pursuit of his compatriot Neymar is not going quite as smoothly.
Ramires, who helped Benfica to the Portuguese title last season, will bolster a Chelsea squad which has been stripped of experienced midfielders Deco, Michael Ballack and Joe Cole since the Blues completed the Premier League and FA Cup double.
"Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and it's a great opportunity that was given to me, I will give my best to repay this chance, and I am very happy," the 23-year-old, who agreed a four-year deal after passing a medical, told Chelsea's website.
The fee was in the region of 17 million pounds (USD 26.50 million), British media said.
"He's a fantastic player, he's a fantastic midfielder. He's very young, he will be the future of the Brazilian national team and, I hope, he will be the future of Chelsea," Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters.
Rio-born Ramires made his debut for Brazil in 2009 and appeared in four of his country's five matches in South Africa but was suspended for the quarter-final defeat by the Netherlands.
Chelsea could find themselves in hot water over Neymar after his club Santos threatened to report them to FIFA for speaking to the player directly.
Ancelotti said he had not been involved in the situation.
"I don't know nothing about this. All I can say about Neymar is he's a fantastic player. He's not a Chelsea player now and it's difficult for me to speak about this.
"What happens after I'm not interested, I can say only about his technical quality. We are interested in all the young players who come through in all the world. Neymar is one of these. But this doesn't mean we have to buy this player."
Not Worried
Chelsea have been unimpressive in their pre-season matches and were well beaten by Manchester United 3-1 in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
But Ancelotti said there were reasons for that and he was not unduly worried as several of his key players are returning to fitness, although midfielder Frank Lampard is a worry ahead of Saturday's opening game against West Bromwich Albion.
"(Goalkeeper Petr) Cech is ready, Alex is ready but (Jose) Bosingwa is out again. He's doing individual training. We had some problems with the international matches, not all the players are ready to play.
"We have to have a check with (Frank) Lampard because he had a problem with his ankle. We have to do a check and then we decide if he is ready or not. Petr Cech will start. We are ready to defend the title.
"We have a fantastic motivation to try and win again. We said last year with the victory in the Premier League and FA Cup we had the possibility to open a new cycle and we want to do that.
"It's in our minds to do our best. We know the other teams will work harder to beat us but we are ready to fight, we are ready if it's possible to improve -- to improve our quality, our personality, our courage.
"The other teams are improving quickly and we have to be ready."
Ancelotti, whose men should collect their first three points of the season when they face promoted West Bromwich Albion at Stamford Bridge in Saturday's evening kickoff, said he expected Manchester United to be their major threat again, but the gap between them and the rest was closing.
"I think so. Manchester has quality, tradition, history. But we have to pay attention to the other teams. Arsenal have bought a fantastic striker in (Marouane) Chamakh.
"Liverpool arrive with a new manager and will be a strong opponent and Manchester City we also have to look at - they bought a lot of good players. They have to build a team and maybe also Man City can be involved in the title."

Because the alughians are a friendly, open-minded crowd. Here, you can express yourself openly and free of prejudice. Together, they are fighting purposefully day by day to make the world a little better and fairer.
Define future...I don't make plans too far into the future because you never know what the next day brings. The company, on the other hand, can look forward to an exciting time. The technological change brings many opportunities and challenges for alugha, which they have to overcome together. However, I am sure that the alughians will be victorious in the end.
Not seeing the world descend into total chaos in my lifetime.
Danke, dass du uns mit diesem Report unterstützt. Bitte gib uns einige weitere Informationen zum Problem oder was dich stört.

Goals from the centre-back and Germany international were the difference as Jurgen Klopp's men ground out a victory in poor conditions after two games without tasting triumph
In an extremely scrappy affair, two second-half goals, one from Neven Subotic and the other courtesy of Mario Gotze, were enough to get BVB's Bundesliga defence back on track after a dire opening period.
The wintry temperatures gave rise to a cagey start as both teams struggled to find a cohesive rhythm, with Freiburg's attack particularly hampered by the thick snow.
Nevertheless, it was the hosts who threatened first. After seeing two headers blocked at the near post, Daniel Caligiuri lifted the ball into the middle and in his attempts to clear it away, Lukasz Piszczek diverted the ball towards his own net and was fortunate Marcel Schmelzer's touch guided it against the post.
Oliver Baumann had already made a relatively comfortable save from a Marco Reus free kick in the opening stages and it was another BVB set piece that called the keeper into action again, with Mats Hummels agonisingly close to diverting Schmelzer's dead-ball delivery into the net after 27 minutes.
Freiburg were giving a good account of themselves against the reigning champions, but they were guilty of failing to take their chances. Fallou Diagne was unable to keep down a free header from 10 yards out, before Julian Schuster's mazy run ended with a pull-back that no one was on hand to tap in.
Klopp clearly had some strong words for his side during the break and they began the second half in a far more aggressive manner.
After Piszczek failed to capitalise on Reus' smart pass within a minute of the restart, BVB wasted another chance in the 51st minute. Kevin Grosskreutz made his first contribution with a drive to the byeline but Gotze blazed his team-mate's resulting cross over the bar.
Dortmund did not relent and they finally got their reward for a bright start to the half in the 54th minute. Reus' whipped free kick was flicked on off the head of Subotic and the ball bounced in at the far post.
Freiburg could well have drawn level moments later, but Erik Jendrisek saw his eight-yard effort poked away by the onrushing Roman Weidenfeller.
The game soon returned to the scrappy, disorganised football that plagued the first half and as a result opportunities were again few and far between.
Despite that, Dortmund managed to confirm the win in the 83rd minute, as Robert Lewandowski fed Gotze, who drilled a shot past Baumann and into the bottom corner.
Victory ensures that BVB hold onto fourth position, temporarily nine points off top spot, while Freiburg drop down to 10th place.

Since its debut in 2003, America's Next Top Model has continued to draw both viewers and hopefuls--the Sept. 8 season premiere snagged 4 million viewers. And one of the young women who had 8 million eyes on her was Boise's own Chelsey Hersley. The bright, blonde, gap-toothed, freckle-faced 23-year-old made it through the cuts to live with 13 other thin, beautiful girls hoping to become "America's next top model."
When we spoke to Hersley, an ANTM cop--uh, representative--was on the line to make sure she didn't give away any of this season's secrets.
As we chat, I'm assuming there are certain things we can't talk about, correct?
When did you first decide you wanted to be a model?
I actually wanted to be a model since I was 3 years old. My sister and her friends would dress me all up and put lipstick on me and tell me to "strike a pose." I was just a natural at it.
When did you first think about trying out for ANTM?
As soon as I was old enough to try out, I was doing other things. I was living in New York modeling for an agency, and it just wasn't the right time. I don't know why I waited until this cycle to try out. It just kind of fell into place, it was the right time. I guess I never really thought I could be on the show.
What's the actual process for trying out?
Well, this cycle, I believe, was the first time that they didn't have an open call. So you kind of had to be asked to audition. I actually saw something on Facebook, so I e-mailed them and sent my picture and they called me back and said they wanted me to come to L.A.
So you were actually invited?
Yes. It was very exciting to be asked to audition.
When you got to L.A., how many young women were there?
There were a little less than 300 I think, which, I guess, is probably a pretty small amount.
As someone pursuing a career in a field where it's great to be bright and personable but it's really about what you look like, did you look around and think, "There's no way I can compete," or did you think, "Wow, I really have something different to offer?"
Because we were handpicked, everybody already had a good look and some sort of modeling potential. It did kind of up the stakes and made me a little nervous because there were a lot of people there with a lot of potential. But I feel like I have a unique look.
What is that look?
First off, I have freckles. I'm covered in freckles, and I'm not a redhead. I'm blonde, but I have dark eyes and dark eyebrows. I have a gap in my teeth, which some models have but not very many.
In those first hours in the house, did you think, "These are people I can hang out with," or did you think, "I have to take them all down?"
Cycle 15 is probably the most competitive, and everybody has a lot more potential than most cycles have had in the past. When we were all in the house, I was like, "This is my competition," but for the most part, they were all really, really nice.
How often did you actually get to see Tyra?
ANTM police: She can't talk about that, sorry.
That's fine. I thought I'd give it a shot.
When you are in the house, do you choose what you eat and drink or does someone choose that for you?
ANTM police: We can't talk about that. Sorry. I'm being the police.
Can you talk at all about anything that happened in the house?
ANTM police: We can't talk about anything that happens in the house. We can talk about the casting call and what drew her there and everything that happens before she goes in the house.
OK. Then how did you prepare to go to the casting call? Did you diet, exercise, study?
No, I felt pretty confident in my fashion knowledge. Some of the girls probably studied up, but it's my passion. I eat and breathe it, and I know everything there is to know about the fashion industry. I've been a crash dieter, and I've been all those things the modeling industry makes you feel like you have to do, and I'm at a point in my life where I'm happy with what I am and who I am and what size I am, so I figured I'd go to the casting and if they didn't like it, it wasn't meant to be.

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1
Several Installs
I used a USB Windows 7 Pro 64 install ; and then again, and the from a DVD disk.
What I keep ending up with is there is only one option to activate and that is Online.
I cannot get the Product Key to activate.
I have several computer at work - and in the past on those computer I was offered when the activation
failed to 'phone in' and enter a series of numbers and so forth - and then the activation completed successfully.
I have no idea why I can never get the activation to complete Online. I never could and I have here 28 computers - and for some reason I cannot activate Online - I have to go through the mechanical steps with telephone activation.
This computer I have only the Online Activation screen - no additional options?
That is why I simply restalled new using different media.
With the option for telephone activation what happens after I attempt to do the Online activation - is that that information gets put into the system ( I think ) because after the failed Online activation what I do next is proceed to the alternate option - Telephone activation - I don't have that - and if I did I could complete the activation.
However, I can do a slui -4 and that bring up that telephone option but for some reason the approach fails to validate when I do phone in. Very odd - because if the option were listed with the original Activate Windows now - it would work. In the Activate Windows now there is only "Online' and 'Ask me later" I never had this experience . And what I did in other installs was to have the internet cable disconnected thinking the install would pick up no Internet and thus push in the Telephone activation.
Long note but needed to post as this is a difficult activation....

|This picture has absolutely NOTHING to do with this post. But I wanted to show off the awesome leather sign I made for our barn. In 2011. Only two years late.
How do you get motivated to clean out your office? Get pregnant. The baby has to live somewhere.
How do you quickly get rid of all the crap in your office? Post it on Craigslist. And be prepared. Be very prepared.
Be prepared to have 21 million phone calls in one hour. Note to self. Don't post my number next time.
Be prepared to have to call all the people back that missed out on your awesome deal. Note to self. Don't be so nice next time.
Be prepared to deliver. Note to self. We are way too nice.
And finally, be prepared to be stalked. Note to self. Don't be way too nice and don't post my number online.
And don't keep answering your cell phone when the buyer of your old computer keeps calling you for tech support (which was not part of my awesome Craigslist deal). Or asks me to pick her up and take her to get her medication. Seriously? What if I was a crazy person.
At least all my pain and suffering earned me $300. And an empty office. And a reality check.
Ku-Tip: Don't be too nice to people who contact you on Craigslist. If you're lucky, they will want to be your best friend. And keep calling you. Over. And over. And over.
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note. Brady is awesome. Brady is amazing. Brady is the smartest person I know. Yep, you all had to hear that because Brady was the only person to participate in my little musician contest. And he got them all right. Why? Because he's the smartest person I know. See, that could have been you.

When calculating the cost of solar heating systems, the technological components (collectors, mounting, storage tank, regulator, expansion vessel, fluid) as well as the installation are all to be considered. From these costs allowances from public promotional programs can be taken. Because the "solar packets" available from various manufacturers do not include the installation costs, it is recommended that one gets a quote from the company installing the system. Solar heating systems are easier to calculate for newly built or renovated roofs and/or heating systems than for retroactive installations. Therefore, space should be left for pipe installation and enough space in either the attic or basement should be left available for other components of a solar heating system in any new building. It is also worth mentioning that the associated installation expenses are higher for solar heating systems than for photovoltaic systems.
When deciding between flat-plate collectors (starting at about 350 €/ m²) and tube collectors (starting at 700 €/ m²), it is the orientation rather than the costs that matters. The different efficiency rates balance out any cost differences in most cases. The above-mentioned "solar packets" for self-installation cost between 3,000 € (with a 300-liter tank) and 10.000 € (with a 1,000 liter tank).
With solar heating systems it is difficult to calculate the efficiency exactly. The normal simulation programs quote the solar coverage of heating demand anywhere from about 20 to 70 %, depending on layout and design. This makes it possible to calculate the savings, which depends on the heat efficiency of the combustible material that had been used. Current prices of combustible materials does not make it possible to make a financial profit with such an investment, but the value of the building is increased, the environment is protected, and one gets a feeling of satisfaction.

God's Economics
Recently, I was preaching in Kenya where they are having an immense drought and food crisis. The ongoing drought in the Horn of Africa is part of what may be the greatest famine of our lifetime. After our church gathering, we decided that we would feed everyone. Since we announced it, there was obviously a huge crowd. The service lasted a little over four hours—so everyone was more than ready for the food. Since I was the preacher (and I had paid for the food), everyone insisted that I was first in line. I tried to position myself at the end, but they would have it no other way. There was so much food. People were ecstatic because so many… Read more »
Remembering Ken Welke
"Outdo one another in showing honor" (Rom. 12:10) No one did this better than Ken Welke. He made everyone feel special. We are going to miss Ken so much after his recent passing. Ken is the perfect example of why you should go on a mission trip with CRF. When Ken went to Kenya, he ended up sponsoring seven kids and got a life dream to build a high school there. Ken's sponsored child, Kevin Owuor, caught his encouraging spirit. Here is what Kevin wrote to Ken and his wife Julie. I was once a street boy who could eat rotten food, sleep in the cold and drink wasted water. One who could be called a thief, one who could… Read more »
Remembering Craig Cooper
Craig Cooper was a great man of God and a long-time partner with CRF as the director of our child sponsorship programs along the Southern border of Texas. He passed away in late March, and we miss him dearly. After a 20-year banking career, Craig embraced his true calling. His role as Director of Missions at the Pharr Church of Christ and as a partner with CRF touched the lives of many thousands of people. More than a dozen church plants in the Valley and Mexico are among the fruits of his labor! We are grateful for the years we spent in partnership with this faithful servant of God — a man who cared deeply about the welfare of children… Read more »

Q: What are my rights when requesting time off work for religious reasons?
A: For companies with more than 15 people, federal law requires employers to "reasonably accommodate" an employee's religious beliefs. Employers are exempt only if they can show the accommodation would cause an "undue hardship" on business.
Examples of accommodations include shift swaps, flexible scheduling or use of lunch time in exchange for early departure.
Employers generally do not have to pay workers for time off taken for religious reasons, however, so workers should arrange to use vacation or personal days. So long as religious needs are accommodated, the employer is not obligated to meet specific requests preferred by the worker.
Workers are not required to provide proof of their religious beliefs to employers, such as notes from a member of the clergy.
Growing diversity in the workplace is one reason for the spike in religious discrimination filings with the federal government, said David Grinberg, spokesman for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"Some employers are having growing pains in adjusting their policies to comply with the law," he said.
Last year, there were about 2,900 religious discrimination filings with the EEOC, up 13 percent from 1992 and double the number in 1992. There are likely many more cases that go unreported for fear of retaliation or lack of awareness about federal protections, Grinberg said. Of last year's filings, 375 complaints regarded accommodations, which would include matters such as taking time off for religious holidays or wearing religious clothing in the workplace.
Only a small percentage of religious discrimination filings with the EEOC result in the government suing the employer, but individuals may decide to pursue litigation on their own.
Federal law caps damages in discrimination lawsuits depending on the size of the business.

Happy birthday, Mister Faulkner!
Faulkner's birthday in the Crescent City: real mint juleps in traditional silver cups, a perfect sunset, and Napoleon's deathmask in the next room
(Of course, nothing in New Orleans is entirely what it seems, and this mask might actually be the face of Bony's friend who sometimes pretended to be the fallen emperor. It is accompanied by the emperor's handkerchief. which is somehow so much sadder, so fragile and starched and old, more tragically human than the overlarge paperweight of the deathmask.)
William Faulkner lived in this city for barely 16 months, but his relationship with the place was as formative as Hemingway's with Paris. He invented himself various times over--and routinely stole other people's stories to make his own life more interesting. And it was here that he really became a writer. He was often quiet, often dishonest, and often disreputable. Anita Loos (author of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and one of my personal heroines) was introduced to him with the warning 'don't expect much of Bill, he has a silver plate in his head, you know.'
Faulkner did not have a plate in his head--this was just one of his many invented personas. He did drink rather a lot. And apparently his favourite cocktail was a mint julep. So that is what we raise in toast to his fabulous convoluted sentences and tremendous story-telling.
Tonight, the traditional drink is too cold to hold. Now I understand why the silver cups are used--they keep your hands nicely chilled against the summer heat. And this New Orleans summer has lasted a long long time--"The way summers used to last when you were a child, how they lasted forever," poet Lee Meitzen Grue tells me. The sunset illuminates the Pontalba buildings across from where we stand in the second-floor glassed-in balcony of the Cabildo.
Sherman Anderson lived just across the way, on the opposite side of Jackson Square. Author John Shelton Reed explains that if Anderson hadn't been in New Orleans, Faulkner might never have been inspired to try writing fiction. Maybe he'd have remained a fabulist, rather than a practical working writer. He was only a rather bad poet when he arrived in New Orleans. He left rather better.
So happy birthday, Mister Faulkner. May your ghost wander down Pirate's Alley every now and then, regaling fellow-ghosts with stories.
(When I visited Faulkner's house in Oxford, Miss., I photographed the famous wall in his study, where he plotted out the events of his work A Fable, scribbled in pencil on the plaster. I've just moved into a new workspace; I better not drink too many mint juleps, or I'll be plotting out the story of my next novel across the rather battered walls...)
