First-Hand:WWII Allied Telecommunications Systems
Submitted by Julius J. Hupert
I graduated from the Warsaw Polytechnic with a Dipl. Ing. degree (equivalent to MSc. in electrical engineering) as a pupil of Professor Janusz Groszkowski, then an internationally prominent contributor to the theory of oscillation. The country, too, was young with recently obtained independence. Professional prospects were good for a limited number of young, capable people. It was not likely that in more staid societies a person of my relative inexperience would be entrusted with the independent design of trans-atlantic transmitters and various ship transmitters for the Navy and Merchant Marine.
The institution itself, P.Z.T. (State Telecommunications Establishment), was an unusual European creation-state owned, but run entirely on industrial lines and responsible for its own profit, progress and maintenance. The concept worked well.
In the face of German pressure in September, 1939, PZT ceased effective operation. A certain amount of radio equipment and its maintenance gear was transferred to a mobile Army convoy. A period of hide-and-seek with German tanks and bombers ensued until September 17 when, as a result of the Ribbentrop-Molotov secret pact, the Soviet army attacked from the other side. Squeezed between the two invading armies, with no armament of any kind (not counting the five bullets in my revolver), we decided to cross the Romanian border and somehow make our way to the allies in the West.
In one bout of vandalism, we destroyed the mountains of precious, pampered radio equipment, mounted our trucks and made a desperate dash to the southern Romanian port of Constanza. The Allied embassies, having been clandestinely contacted, were interested in our expertise. A curious tug-of-war started: the British and French embassies tried to bribe the Romanians with the purpose of getting us out to the West. The German embassy threatened and intimidated.
With a few friends, I managed to escape a not-too-tight internment, and obtained an "almost authentic" passport for exit to the West. In Paris, France, I was directed to Societe Francaise Thomson-Houston to carry on the design of a high-powered transmitter using the Doherty modulation system, then all the rage.
One morning (1940), we found everything disorganized in the face of a German approach. The army had previously retreated overnight. The railways being bombed, we secured five bicycles and started another episode of hide-and seek. One of us did not know how to cycle-but one learns fast in such circumstances.
We decided to go to Havre on the chance of being closer to Britain and hopefully gain some information about our situation. We found the British forces gone, only one soldier and one airman left behind, drunk (supposedly left for this reason). We also found, totally by accident, a truck-full of Polish soldiers heading south, to be evacuated in St. Jean-de-Luz on the Spanish border. We sold the bicycles and joined them. The next morning, in an inadequate anchorage and stormy seas, a rather dramatic embarkation took place. We sailed to an unknown destination in Britain. I recognized the port town as Liverpool.
In negotiations with Polish authorities, the British decided to make their own use of our talents, we being top experts in various fields. The initial selection was made by Polish authorities. The suggested candidates were then interviewed by the Director of Scientific Research of the Admiralty, who coordinated the scientific technological effort for all the armed forces.
I was selected and, after an ingenious interview, I was seconded to the H.M. Signal School (later the Admiralty Signal Establishment) in Portsmouth-then, on occasions, being heavily bombed. The entire establishment was later shifted to the quiet, small town of Haslemere in Surrey. The initial appointment took place in autumn of 1940. I was formally transferred to the Navy, and remained in the service of the Admiralty until my discharge and demobilization in 1947-two years after the infamous Yalta conference.
Another, much more extensive, activity of mine originated in a much less orthodox fashion. When at the beginning of my assignment to H. M. Signal School, I was given a tour of ships' transmitters of the then current design. I commented on their method of frequency generation, which required laborious setting by wavemeters and-in my view-could not guarantee adequate frequency stability anyway, especially in ship-to-fighter plane communication. The fighters had fixed-frequency crystal-controlled receivers. I was told that we could not use crystal-controlled transmitters owing to the uncertainty of ship-operational assignments.
I then contrived a partial-crystal-control frequency generation scheme, flexible and yet requiring only a few crystals of fixed frequency. In a sense, this was an early precursor of modern frequency-synthesis schemes, although the term was not in use then.
My scheme was reviewed and lauded as ingenious. But I was told that there was really no need to so extensively modify all the ships' transmitters dispersed all over the world. I was, however, permitted to initiate a small lunch-time project with the aid of one enthusiastic technician, provided the beacon-bouy project did not suffer.
Imagine, then, my feelings when one morning I was told the disastrous news of the aircraft carrier, H.M.S. Ark Royal, having been sunk in the Mediterranean. The tactical analysis of the events (I was not told the details) revealed lack of reliable raising of the fighters by radio.
Never before or since have I seen a project raised from a "lunch-time" to a "top priority" status so rapidly! I was given access to all the facilities. The idea was embodied in a few design versions suiting various existing-and later (with a few ameliorations) future transmitters. When, in 1947, I was leaving for the U.S., the post-war transmitters were being designed, using many of my earlier ideas.

Role models are not just for kids. They're as important to us aging Baby Boomers. During a frigid holiday weekend in Canada, I noticed seven happy French-speaking skiers busy buckling ski boots. They appeared athletic and vital. It wasnt until one turned that I realized he was over 70, as were the others. They were ready to go, as I sat thinking twice about layering up. They shamed me into skiing and inspired my desire to age like them. Last winter, I skied with the Snowboomers at New Yorks Whiteface Mountain. With the name Snowboomers, a group of about 20 hope to attract the newly retired. The group was formed three years ago and has an average age of 70. They meet twice a week for a total of 20 snow sports lessons. Alpine lessons are given on Tuesdays. On Thursdays, they switch to learning x-country. For many, this was their first experience with x-county skiing. I joined them for both an alpine and x-country day. My expectations were off base. I assumed the lessons would be about toning down speed and challenge to accommodate an aging body. This group proved a lifetime of exercising is the key to remaining agile. At my alpine lesson, the group was split in two. The other group took off with instructor, Nancy Colon. My group skied for several hours stopping just long enough for Instructor Ed Hale to give us pointers and a practice task. I saw no difference in the physical skills of this group compared to others I ski with. Although, one guy did say he turns up his hearing aid before putting on a helmet. It could be life long exercise builds not only physical strength but also the mental attitude to overcome physical obstacles. My group skied non-stop, top to bottom on Skyward, the mens 1980 Olympic diamond downhill run. Do seniors learn skiing differently then the younger set? Nope answered alpine instructor, Ed Hale, just before telemarking down Skyward in perfect PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) form. Telemark skiing is also known as "free heel skiing." Lets leave the explanation on telemarking to requires more effort and coordination. Ed, by the way, is in his eighties. On a less pitchy slope, we practiced 360s to learn more about edge control. The lesson gave me new moves to work on and an upbeat perspective on aging. Before writing about Thursdays x-country class, let me that in the past, my total lack of control skiing on x-country toothpicks without edges resulted in repeated injuries. I went to class anyway but immediately informed my new instructor, Joe Kahn, about the anxiety. Joe began our practice inside and taught us to glide from one foot to the other. He spoke about keeping your weight on your heels, exactly the opposite of my alpine muscle memory. It was comforting to see a ski patrol jacket on one of the group. Naturally, I stayed close to her. We started skiing by exchanging our poles for plastic soda bottles. The bottles were used to show how arm swing affects the skis glide. For the first time, I was learning to x-county ski. According to Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association, skiers are staying in the sport longer. The newly retired are more active and staying fit well into retirement. As a result, U.S. skier visits were up in 2006 from 2005 by 3.5 percent, setting a record 58.9 million skier visits. 7.9% of the U.S. population that skis (6.8 million) is over the age of 55. That number is a 30% jump from the previous seasons 5.9. The number of skier visits has continuously grown for the last five years up to the 06/07 seasons. Due abnormally warm temperatures and below average snowfall, U.S. skier visits were down in 2006/07 seasons by 6.9%. Putting aside last season, several factors are contributing to the upward trend. Older skiers are staying with the sport longer because equipment has gotten lighter and easier to use; snowmaking and grooming have made snow conditions more consistent or gentle; clothing has gotten lighter, warmer and more comfortable; but most importantly Baby Boomers are seeking multi-generational recreational gathering places to lure their adult children. Snow sport resorts are tailoring areas to meet this growing opportunity. Most ski resorts now offer year-round activities for all ages ranging from snow tubing to golf. Lodging is going up to meet every size group and contain every amenity. The boomer generation is refusing to get old. They fight aging by staying active and with the help of medical advances. Its now commonplace to replace knees or hips, have a facelift or fat removed. Given the Boomer desire to keep their youthful lifestyle, it makes sense to take note of youthful seniors. Seniors that remain energetic, enthusiastic and physically fit make chronological age irrelevant. Peggy Blazer is one of the Whiteface Snowboomers with an enthusiastic outlook that shines with years. Last year she celebrated her 80th birthday and was hoping to ski eighty days but the weather wasnt cooperating. Skiing with the Snowboomers was inspirational. I saw in the group how attitude and physical fitness affect quality of life. At least part of the equation in aging has to do with choices and mine is to stay active, join a group for support and ski until I can no longer get my boots buckled.

The Knard 26+ shares the same tread pattern as its 29+ predecessor. 26+ is pretty much the same idea as 29+, only applied to the smaller 559mm bead seat diameter we've all come to know as 'the regular ass 26" wheel.' The casing of the Knard 26+ tire is 3" wide and designed to be used with 50mm wide rims. The 26+ tire size inflates to roughly the same outer diameter as standard 27.5" (otherwise known as 650b) tires, so there's that. The large volume of the 26+ platform adds suspension and float while also increasing traction. The profile is round and tracks well through corners and off-camber terrain. It can be used effectively and safely on rims as narrow as 35mm. The closely spaced low-block tread grips well on all types of surfaces but is most at home on dry rock and packed dirt. Availavle in 120tpi casing.
Bead Seat Diameter: 559mm
(note: designed for 50mm wide rims. Requires minimum of 35mm wide rim to safely engage bead hook)
Casing: 120tpi with Kevlar bead (875g)

Which way do I go?
The Old Man on June 22nd, 2009
:::edit::: Sorry at an age so close to 70 sometimes things get mixed up. I have corrected the fact that ladies rooms were on the right and not the left. I hope the story makes a little more sense now. :::/edit:::
In my time ladies restrooms were on the right and men's were on the left.
I wonder why today this seems to have changed. How did it become the way it is now? You never know today if the women's bathroom is on the left or right. When you have to go you had better check all the signs ha!
Some time ago, I was sitting in a restaurant with my family and a few friends. I was talking about the way things used to be. An old friend of mine sitting at the table picked up on the conversation and said he knew exactly what I was saying. He told me that he had the same experience of "changes".
He was telling me a story when we had to go to the bathroom. When we got to the bathroom the men's restroom was on the right. Before entering an elderly man walked passed him in a hurry, the old man turned to the left opened the door and walked in. A lady immediately started yelling at him! He slammed that door so hard you would think the door had come off the hinges! I am not going to repeat what he said as he turned to leave. As he was walking past me he looked very embarrassed, and his face was red. In the bath room he said in a loud voice "Why did they change the system!"? Women's bathrooms are supposed to be on the right! We were laughing………….
From all the laughter I had to go to the bathroom! As I got to the bathrooms I was still thinking about that old man. In a rush to make it I turned to the left where the men's restroom was supposed to be and I walked right into a lady standing in front of a mirror putting lip stick on. I said "Oops!", as she turned around and said, "sir your in the ladies room"! I am not going to tell you how embarrassed I was. When I got back to the table, everyone was wondering why my face was so red…….
I had to lower my head and shamefully explain the events from just a few moments ago. They all looked at each other and were laughing so hard!
And now you know the rest of the story.

Breaking News Emails
The young man who killed two skate store employees and then shot himself inside a shopping mall wrote about killing people in his journal and said he was ready to die, Maryland police revealed Wednesday.
Howard County police released the details of Darion Aguilar's journal through their Twitter account.
Investigators say the 19-year-old Aguilar killed Brianna Benlolo, 21, of College Park, Md., and Tyler Johnson, 25, of Mount Airy, Md., in a Zumiez skate store at the Mall in Columbia and then took his own life. Detectives have been trying to determine a motive.
Police now say Aguilar wrote in general terms in his journal about killing people — but did not mention targeting specific people or locations. Police say the journal "expresses a general hatred of others" and a willingness to die.
They said it showed he "knew he was having mental health issues." He also apologized to his family for what he was planning to do, they said.
Cops on Wednesday also detailed how Aguilar assembled the shotgun before the rampage.
Aguilar carried the disassembled 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun into the mall in a backpack, the Howard County Police Department said on its Twitter feed.
Aguilar, who also lived in College Park, Maryland, put the shotgun together in a dressing room at the Zumiez skateboard store.
Then, police "believe Aguilar exited the Zumiez dressing room, shot the two victims and then himself," they said. Earlier, investigators had said that Aguilar had spent at least an hour in the mall before initiating the spree.
The skate store itself had no video cameras so there is no footage of the shootings, it said. Police have said Aguilar fired six to eight shots. At one point, he stepped out of the store and wounded a woman who was struck in the foot, police said.
Aguilar was dead when officers arrived less than two minutes after the first 911 call, police said.
Investigators have not given a motive for the shootings. Police have said they have not turned up any relationship between the shop employees and Aguilar.
Police believe Aguilar legally bought the shotgun last month. The attack was the latest in a spate of U.S. shootings that has renewed questions about the vulnerability of public places in the United States.

Not a fresh insight or genuine laugh in sight. Nothing here, in fact, for you, him, her, yours, mine, theirs or anybody's.
It's terrible.
[A] shrill family comedy.
... it loses a good deal of humour along with its social relevance.
Watching Dennis Quaid falling face down into vats of goop, getting kissed by a pig and talking baby talk in Yours, Mine and Ours is one of those experiences that causes you to question your faith in Hollywood's motives.

Feel-good family movie. Nothing special here.

A really fun family movie. It's like Cheaper By The Dozen but you multiply the number of kids. :) Just a really great movie for the whole family :) Dennis Quid and Rene Russo are great as well as all of the kids :) I love Mrs. Munion too lol "It has a certain smell like paprika with a hint of wet dog." lol :) :) :) :)

A huge ripoff of Cheaper by the Dozen, a terrible film and so cliche and stupid.

[Articles] Invasive versus conservative strategy in patients aged 80 years or older with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris (After Eighty study): an open-label randomised controlled trial
In patients aged 80 years or more with NSTEMI or unstable angina, an invasive strategy is superior to a conservative strategy in the reduction of composite events. Efficacy of the invasive strategy was diluted with increasing age (after adjustment for creatinine and effect modification). The two strategies did not differ in terms of bleeding complications.

This is the cover for Vogue's May issue, which I guess ties in with the Met's Model as Muse exhibit/party malarky. While I can say YAY for not seeing Angelina or Jen or Nicole on the cover, I'm kind of confused as to what "moment", the "Models of the Moment" line may be referring to. Let's break it down shall we?
Liya: I love Liya Kebede, this is true, but let's face it, she is not "of the moment" she was "of the moment" like 9 years ago. Liya is classic now, and while you can't put her in the same category as Kate Moss just yet, she's definitely on another level. 0 points.
Anna Jagodzinska: Who? Totally unremarkable girl. I'm surprised that the most unknown of them all got in the actual cover with 2 major girls. Oh well, I'm sure her agency is very excited for her. + .5 point (hey, at least it's a new face!).
Natalia Vodianova: Seriously? See explanation for Liya. 0 points.
Isabeli Fontana: An old-timer who's kind of making a comeback. + 1 point.
Lara Stone: We're all on a first name basis with Lara's boobs by now. Obvz a winner. +1 point.
Jourdan Dunn: Like FIRE! + 1 point.
Raquel Zimmerman: I actually really really love Raquel. She's been around for a while, but she's clearly having a good run. I'm conflicted about her inclusion because she's in the magazine all the time. Conflicted. + .5 point.
Caroline Trentini: Blaaaah. Anna loves her for some reason. 0 points.
Natasha Poly: Dudez, Poly is awesome. I feel like I never see her in any regular magazines, so I'm super psyched to see her here! She's kind of babelicious. + 1 point.
My trades:
Take out Liya, Natalia, Caroline and Anna J. and stick in Lakshmi, Iris Strubegger, Eniko Mihalik and my wild card pick, Karlie Kloss. She's really been killing her editorials lately. + 100000 points.

Race for Life 2017 begins across the country next month with a series of events ranging from 5K-10K runs to long distance hikes and an annual marathon to help raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
The Sunderland Race For Life takes place on 4th June at Herrington Country Park.
While racers are encouraged to walk the distances if they aren't capable of running I want participants to be as prepared as possible for the distances of the event.
5K can be a challenging distance if you are not ready for it, although this isn't a competitive race and you can walk the course, people will want to get around and not injure themselves.
You should look to begin your training 6-8 weeks before the event starting off with light training around 2-3 times a week. I would recomend a mix of jogging and walking to ease yourself into it.
Another thing you need to remember is to get the little things right, drink plenty of fluids while training especially as the weather begins to warm up during the spring.
You should be aiming for at least two litres of water per day, and up to three litres on the days that you are training. Make sure that you have practical running shoes and a comfortable sports bra too.
As your training progresses, up the distances and intensity and track your progress, it can also be a benefit to work on your core muscles and build strength and build stamina.
Working out in a group or with friends can help motivate you and keep you accountable and on track with your training goals.
Whatever your goals are keep working hard and keep trying. When you start to see the progress you make it is so satisfying and enjoyable.
If you're starting from scratch but you'd like to jog the 5K race, then here's a training plan to build you up to the distance.

By a BNA Special Correspondent.
GENEVA--The Swiss government announced May 29, 2013, that it will propose a legal framework allowing a dozen Swiss banks under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly helping U.S. clients evade taxes to negotiate individual settlement terms with DOJ, settlements expected to cost the banks billions of dollars in fines.
The Federal Council, the Swiss government's executive arm, said it will send a proposal to the country's parliament for its June 3-21, 2013, summer session allowing the banks to reach deals with DOJ to "put the past to rest."
"With the new legal basis, all banks that wish to resolve their relationship with the U.S. authorities will be able to cooperate with the [DOJ] based on a framework specified by the DOJ," the Federal Council said.
Roland Meier, spokesman for the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, said that, without the legal assurances provided through the government's proposal, Swiss banks could not reach settlements with DOJ without violating Swiss banking secrecy rules.
"If banks were not authorized to cooperate with the U.S. authorities, the initiation of further criminal investigations or charges concerning [Swiss] banking institutions could not be ruled out," the Federal Council added. "The uncertainty for the [Swiss] financial center would continue to exist."
DOJ has been insisting on the transfer of aggregate information regarding the closure of Swiss bank accounts, and the transfer of the account funds to other Swiss banks or to institutions abroad as part of a final settlement. Providing such information, however, would violate Article 271(1) of the Swiss penal code.
The Federal Council proposal would authorize the transfer of such information to conclude deferred prosecution or non-prosecution agreements with DOJ. However, the transfer of bank client data, including individual account information, is not covered by the authorization.
The proposal would also authorize the transfer of information on the names and positions of Swiss bank employees who were directly or indirectly involved in the organization, monitoring, and supervision of cross-border business with U.S. clients, as well as information on third parties with similar business relationships with U.S. clients. Such third parties include trustees, asset managers, and lawyers who played an active role in the establishment of these business relationships.
Banks that elect to cooperate with DOJ "will be obliged by law to provide maximum protection for their employees," the Federal Council insisted, including the obligation to inform affected bank employees in advance of any information exchange, the safeguarding of employees' rights to information, the obligation to provide for employees' welfare under Swiss labor law, and protection against discrimination and dismissal.
The banks will be required by law to conclude an agreement with the relevant employee associations that satisfies these minimum requirements, the Federal Council said.
Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf insisted the proposal is a "pragmatic" solution to a problem Swiss negotiators have tried and failed to resolve with their U.S. counterparts over the past two years. Switzerland had been seeking a comprehensive settlement under which a fine would be paid for all Swiss banks in exchange for shielding the banks from further legal proceedings in the United States.
Nevertheless, the deal is likely to put Swiss banks in a weaker position vis-à-vis DOJ, since they would no longer have the Swiss government negotiating on their collective behalf, and would have to settle under a framework determined by DOJ.
Walter Boss, a tax law specialist with the Zurich-based law firm of Poledna Boss Kurer, said the Federal Council's proposal is "very bad news for the bank employees, but at least as far as the exchange of bank client information is concerned, the rule of law seems to prevail for the time being."
The exchange of client information is still subject to the 1996 U.S.-Swiss double taxation agreement, which limits any exchanges to cases of "tax fraud and the like." A revised double taxation agreement concluded in 2009, which would extend cooperation to cases of tax evasion, is still being held up in the U.S. Senate by Senator Rand Paul (Republican-Kentucky) over privacy concerns.
"Of course, the crucial question will be the amount of the penalty that each bank concerned will be asked to pay," Boss said.
Widmer-Schlumpf declined to say how much the targeted Swiss banks would be expected to pay out as part of the settlements, or to confirm reports that the final bill could be as high as U.S.$10 billion.
She insisted, however, that Swiss taxpayers would not be footing any part of the bill, and that the final amount will depend on what the individual banks negotiate with DOJ.
The Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), the country's largest banking industry group, welcomed the fact that the Federal Council proposal would give Swiss banks the opportunity to settle their tax-related issues in a "legal and definitive manner."
"The SBA is concerned, however, about the fact that no information whatsoever regarding the scheme that the U.S. will offer the Swiss banks is available," the group said. SBA added that the size of the fines the banks could eventually be required to pay was an "important criteria" for the banking industry.
"We firmly repeat our demand that the Swiss Federal Council must continue to make every effort to find a solution that stands in proportion to the transgressions being alleged," the group added.
The legislative proposal--the Federal Act on Measures to Facilitate the Resolution of the Tax Dispute between Swiss Banks and the United States--is being proposed to the Swiss parliament under special legislative procedures allowing for quick approval.
The goal is to secure approval so that the proposal can enter into force July 1, 2013. The act would remain in effect for one year, allowing the Swiss government to bypass procedures that would otherwise subject the measures to a possible national referendum.
"The urgency is due to the fact that the United States is unprepared to wait any longer" to reach a settlement, the Federal Council said.
The Swiss banks thought to be targeted by the DOJ investigations are Credit Suisse, HSBC Private Bank, Julius Baer, Pictet & Cie., Bank Frey, Zurcher Kantonalbank, Basler Kantonalbank, Neue Zurcher Bank, Bank Hapoalim (Switzerland), Leumi Private Bank, United Mizrahi Bank Switzerland, and Liechtensteinische Landesbank (Switzerland).

Cunningham takes dance to industrial site
Twice on a single Sunday afternoon in November, the 14-member Merce Cunningham Dance Company will present a new, "site-specific" work titled "Craneway Event" at a repurposed Ford assembly plant in Richmond.
By site-specific, Cunningham means a performance to some degree responsive to the setting in which it transpires.
The new work will take place on multiple stages among which the audience can move. It will include scored and improvised sound elements realized by the MCDC's musicians: David Behrman, John King, Takehisa Kosugi and Christian Wolff.
"Craneway Event" takes it title from the huge, now vacant, industrial space designed by Albert Kahn, where assembled vehicles were once loaded by cranes onto railroad cars at an adjacent siding.
"Craneway Event" will culminate a two-week MCDC residency at Cal Performances that will also involve performances at Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley. The 517,000-square-foot factory building anchors the mixed-used complex now known as Ford Point, bought from the Richmond Redevelopment Agency in 2004 by Orton Development Inc. in Emeryville.
British artist Tacita Dean will shoot the Cunningham Dance Company's preparations for "Craneway Event" and her interaction with the performers and choreographer promises to affect the character of the work the public sees.
Dean plans to shape the material into a film that will serve as a tribute to Cunningham when he turns 90 in April.
Dean has worked with Cunningham before, producing six 1-minute films of him performing "...Stillness (in three movements) to John Cage's compositions 4' 33"..."
In each, Cunningham appears posed in a chair, mirroring the silence of Cage's "4' 33"..." - which calls for a pianist to sit motionless at an open keyboard - and reflecting Cunningham's own mobility problems after a lifetime of punishing performance.
In 2006, Dean made a remarkable film about film itself in a factory in France. In response to the news that Kodak was to close a film production plant in Chalon-sur-Saône, France, she produced a haunting, at times nearly abstract, documentary of her own increasingly obsolete medium coming into being.
Cunningham, who collaborated with Cage (1912-1992) many times while sharing a life with him, has received international recognition for his work, including a MacArthur Fellowship, the National Medal of Arts, Japan's Praemium Imperiale and the Golden Lion at the 1995 Venice Biennale.
Craneway Event: Merce Cunningham Dance Company. 1 and 3 p.m. Nov. 9. Ford Point, 1414 Harbor Way S., Richmond. Tickets: $40 general admission; UC Berkeley students, half price. (510) 642-9988, www.calperformances.org.

The 1940s
All discussions of the Forties in America, whether in books or conversations, tend to separate into two parts: "during the war" and "after the war." It is a decade that seems to split neatly down the middle, divided by the atomic blast at Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, which, for good or ill, ushered the United States into the nuclear age. American teens shared in the wartime patriotism and seriousness, and then in the postwar euphoria and economic boom, just as they shared family and community life with adults. Whereas Willam Graebner, in his study of the decade, called it the Age of Doubt, finding Americans tortured by uncertainty about the future, teens seemed to enjoy life with increasing confidence in themselves, especially during the postwar period. After 1944 the culture of the teenager, just like the term teenager, moved rapidly into the public spotlight, as if during the war it had only been waiting impatiently to become a star.
By 1940 Norway, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France had all been seized by Germany or the Soviets. Only Britain held out, but as news reached Americans about the daily bombing raids on England, the antiwar sentiment in the States began to shift. Japan also threatened America's power in the Pacific, and when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, America declared war on Japan. Germany, Italy, and Japan then declared war on the United States. By March 1942, Japanese people living in the United States were being "interned"--taken from their

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to pass on signing free-agent cornerback Brandon Boykin according to a report by ESPN's Vaughn McClure, yet might visit with free-agent defensive end Dwight Freeney next week according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jim Trotter.
McClure cites a league source indicating that the Falcons have opted to pass on adding Boykin, who visited and worked out with the team on Monday. According to reports, Boykin impressed during his workout but the team was awaiting news on his medical checks. McClure indicates that there were concerns centering on Boykin's hips, but the same league source indicates such concerns were a non-factor in the Falcons' decision.
The Falcons are looking for depth at corner in lieu of a four-game suspension that second-year cornerback Jalen Collins is slated to serve at the start of the season. Fellow 2015 draftee Akeem King played a grand total of 14 defensive snaps last year and 2016 free-agent signing DeMarcus Van Dyke hasn't played a snap on defense since his rookie season in 2011, leaving the Falcons will seriously depth concerns.
Boykin, 25, was surprisingly released by the Carolina Panthers earlier this month after spending seven weeks with the team. Boykin played sparingly with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season after being traded by the Philadelphia Eagles last summer. Boykin is an Atlanta native that played collegiate ball at the University of Georgia before the Eagles drafted him in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Freeney has garnered limited interest on the open market thus far this offseason despite leading the Arizona Cardinals with eight sacks last season in just 11 games played as a situational pass-rusher. Freeney is visiting the Cincinnati Bengals today before he is expected to visit the Falcons.
Freeney, 36, is one of the league's most prolific pass-rushers with 119.5 career sacks over the course of his 14-year NFL career. That figure ranks third among active players, only behind Julius Peppers (136) and DeMarcus Ware (134.5). Freeney's sack total also ranks 19th all time in NFL history.
He spent the bulk of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, who drafted him in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft. In 11 seasons with the Colts, Freeney earned seven trips to the Pro Bowl and was that team's all-time leader with 107.5 sacks before departing the team in 2012.
In 2013 Freeney joined the San Diego Chargers for the next two years, collecting just four sacks in 20 games while working in their 3-4 defensive scheme. He was on the verge of retirement last fall before the Cardinals signed him in October. According to a report from FOX Sports' Alex Marvez earlier this offseason, Freeney intends to play one more season.
Freeney could add a boost to the Falcons' pass rush as a situational defensive end in the team's nickel sub-package, which is the same role he played with the Cardinals last year. In that role, he'd likely platoon with Adrian Clayborn as the team's right defensive end opposite Vic Beasley. The Falcons finished last in the NFL with 19 sacks last season.

3.27.2017 Fallbrook, CA, USA
This past Saturday, I made reservations to have brunch at the Grand Traditions up in Fallbrook, to celebrate my mom's birthday! This is my second visit now, and it definitely lived up the hype from the first time. It's a darling old (huge) house, that serves as a venue for weddings, and a restaurant during the day. Isn't it just gorgeous? I couldn't stop this photoshoot session.
As for my meal, I ended up ordering what I already knew I loved, a classic burger with fries, but honestly so wishing I would have gone for a Belgium waffle with strawberries (next time)! Oh, and for a delicious appetizer, you must order their avocado egg rolls.
Now, at the Grand Traditions, you can walk the grounds which has a total of three specific garden walks, the first being the flower garden, a compass garden, and a path for the water front. The first set of photos you see below is apart of the front entrance, known as the flower garden. It's absolutely breath taking in person, and so dreamy for my type of future ideal wedding spot. The back of this house, called the Beverly Mansion, is a big outdoor porch where the restaurant is located, which overlooks a beautiful lake.
This is my favorite part of the garden, because it reminds me of a tropical jungle. There are so many waterfalls throughout the entire trail, and they are so beautiful. My sister says this path reminds her of Disneyland, in line for the jungle cruise, but I say it reminds me of Hawaii! Nothing get's me like palm trees, and that deep greenery.
I seriously recommend visiting this darling little gem that's located in Fallbrook, Southern California! For years we never knew something this unique could be found in a funky town like Fallbrook, but we are so glad we did. Everything is set at a reasonable price, so it won't break the bank! Would love to come back for a Sunday breakfast, and order my waffle that everyone made look so good. Plus, all over the ground there is plenty of seating, picnic tables, and benches on every garden path, perfect to take a breather and enjoy the scenery.
Happy Birthday Mom, love you!

Life and time are moving in circles, one endless motion, the same hand passing round the same clock witnessed by a million different eyes, each filling every second with their own treasure trove of occurrence and subsequent manifestation.
Walk with me, hand in hand through the neon and styrofoam. Walk the razor blades of broken hearts. Walk the fortune and the fortune hunted. Walk the chop suey bars and the tract of stars.
Walk with me. Down a dark road coated with a hazy fog that makes the streetlights shine brighter. I am not afraid of feeling but I am afraid of feeling unthinkingly. I don't want to drown. My head is my heart's life belt. I should like an emotional inflatable.
I know I am a fool, hoping that dirt and glory are a kind of luminous paint; the humiliations and exaltations that light us up. It is just as likely that as I invent what I want to say, you will invent what you want to hear, an exchange if you will, joint manifestivities. And they shall dance the tango as the record spins the manifesto.
A weak signal into the outer space of each other. The probability of separate worlds meeting is very small. The lure of it immense. We send star ships. We fall in love.
Walk with me. Down a dark road coated with a hazy fog that makes the streetlights shine brighter. I walk away with the taste of you between my legs. Part pleasure, part pain, the antennae of my nervous system still twitching with the hum of the air in the soupy space between.
(An inspired collaboration of quotes and improvised idealisms with lines and longitudes from Gut Symmetry by Jeanette Winterson)

30 minute brisk walk. Need more of a challenge? Every 5 minutes, a 30 second sprint!
It's thankful Thursday time! We all have so much to be thankful for and we love to take this opportunity just to write down each and everything that comes to mind. Please take this time to share with us what you're thankful for as well. If you have a blog expressing your thankfulness, please share the link! Without further ado, here's what we're thankful for:
Mandi's List:
I'm thankful for easy bedtimes. Mckenna may not be the best baby in the middle of the night, but going down for the night, she's a doll. She takes a bath, gets on her PJs, nurses, gets swaddled, I stand next to her crib while holding her and sing a lullaby (which she smiles at me...which melts my heart every night), say "night night," lay her down and leave the room. That's it. She goes to sleep. No battles to rock her to sleep. No having her fall asleep in our arms, laying her down and having her wake back up over and over. It makes bedtime such an easy, stress free process. Plus I love watching her on the camera we have in her room, as she gets herself all wiggled and positioned and then, boom, she's out.
I'm thankful for my hubby and his ability to hear what I mean, not what I say. I talk...A LOT...and Ronnie would tell you "A LOT" is an understatement. When someone talks a lot, there are often times they say things that may sound strange. For example, I started a conversation today with, "I saw someone say they were "happily married," I'd never think to describe myself as "happily married." What I didn't mean was that I wasn't happily married. What I meant was that I would never think to use that phrase, and what I picture as "happily married" is what I pictured marriage as a kid...you know, rainbows and unicorns, candle lit dinners every night and roses at least twice a day. Knowing that I'm probably the happiest wife on earth, I know that happily married describes me, but it's just a phrase I never think of and picture something different when I hear it. Anyway, a different man may take offense and think "my wife is unhappy." My man knows I am just talking, to smile and nod, and that the last sentence I say is generally what I meant to say...after talking in circles and re-explaining what I meant in 500 times...so just listen for that sentence.
I'm thankful for cereal time. Every night before bed, Ronnie and I chow down on a little dry cereal and watch TV together. It is my favorite part of the day. It is our time, just us, to enjoy each other. I LOVE IT.
Ronnie's List:
I'm thankful for lullaby songs. We've been trying to get into a really good routine when putting Mckenna down and one of the things we do is sing her a lullaby. Two things that I love about it: one, Mandi's mom sang the same lullaby to her, and two, Mckenna gets a big gummy smile pretty much every time :)

I'm thankful for iPhone apps. What a great way to kill some time! There are times throughout my day when it's nice to take a 2-5 minute brain break. When that break is needed, I usually turn to something mindless - in walks iPhone apps. If you haven't played Temple Run yet, you have to check it out!!
I'm thankful for frozen treats. Now you'd usually think I was talking sweets, but I'm not in this case. I did a little clean-out of our freezer the other day and found some frozen chicken pot pie mix that Mandi's mom made us. We thawed it out and have now had it for dinner the last couple of nights. Deeeelish!!
So, what are you thankful for today?

Canadian GP 2010
Practice 1 Report - All Mercedes top four in Montreal first session
Jenson Button (1:18.127) set the fastest time in the opening session of free practice for the Canadian Grand Prix, round eight of the 19-race Formula 1 World Championship.
Montreal is a one-off in terms of F1 circuit layout ' a number of flat-out sections interspersed by chicanes and hairpins giving at stop-go nature, where top speed, braking stability and traction are all-important, bounded by close concrete walls which severely punish the slightest transgression.
It was widely anticipated that McLaren-Mercedes, with its potent engines and F-duct rear wing-stalling device would be ideally suited to the track and Button's smooth style appears to be paying dividends already.
Michael Schumacher (1:18.285) has won this race seven times and also has the benefit of a Mercedes engine and an F-duct. The German was just 0.16s adrift of Button but slightly faster than Lewis Hamilton's McLaren (1:18.352). Nico Rosberg made it four Mercedes-powered cars in the first four positions with a lap in 1:18.356.
Sebastian Vettel, still refusing to accept blame for the Turkey incident with Red Bull team mate Mark Webber, was spectacular to watch, just a hair's breadth from the pit wall out of the last chicane and on the exit of Turns three and four. It was testament to how hard the young German was trying and ultimately netted him a 1:18.549, more than a second quicker than Webber (1:19.609), who languished in 14th place after the first session.
Robert Kubica, so strong in Melbourne and Monte Carlo, is also expected to go well at a venue which brought him his horrendous crash in 2007 and also his lone Grand Prix win for BMW a year later. The Pole finished the opening session sixth fastest (1:18.662), marginally quicker than Fernando Alonso's Ferrari (1:18.726). The Spaniard is still insisting that a championship challenge this season is realistic from his current position of fourth, some 14 points off the pace and with a significant Ferrari upgrade due for the next round in Valencia.
Vitantonio Liuzzi (1:19.097) was eighth fastest with his Mercedes-powered Force India, ahead of the Cosworth-powered Williams FW32s of Nico Hulkenberg (1:19.282) and Rubens Barrichello (1:19.313). With Williams technical director Sam Michael aiming at getting both cars into the top 10 in qualifying here, it proved to be a good start for both Cosworth at a power circuit and Hulkenberg in particular, given that it's the first time that the young German has seen the place.


text: Sexual Harassment in San Antonio Dedicated Lawyer Serving Victims of Sexual Harassment There is absolutely no tolerance for sexual harassment in today's workplace.

They often hope that the problem will just "go away". But it won't. They are caught in a daily trap of going to work in a hostile work environment. They often endure strained relationships with co-workers, friends and loved ones and they are denied promotion, raises, overtime and more. If you are a victim of sexual harassment, do not be silent.

Bidding for Fox Will Get Serious After Court Ruling
The fight for assets in the U.S. and U.K. between Disney and Comcast should begin after a federal judge rules on AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner
Not so long ago, Rupert Murdoch's decision to sell the crown jewels of his media company, 21st Century Fox, looked like an acknowledgment that the sun was setting on his reign. Now, as Disney and Comcast prepare to do battle over those coveted assets, Mr. Murdoch looks set to go out in a blaze of glory.
On Tuesday, a U.S. federal judge will determine how glorious that blaze can be. The judge is scheduled to rule on AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner. If the deal is approved outright, it will be a green light to Comcast...

This week I had an assignment for one of my classes to contemplate the role of technology in my personal life, and how the tools of technology both legitimize and dismantle our ideas of solitude and isolation. To start the assignment, I sat alone in a room in my house without any technology, other people, or reading material.
I need solitude, which is to say, recovery, return to my self, the breath of a free, light, playful air — Friedrich Nietzsche
Being away from technology doesn't intimidate me. Maybe that's because I grew up in a home without a lot of technology. We didn't have a television or gaming system, and when we wanted entertainment, we had only ourselves as resources. Of course, with acres of land and four siblings, I wasn't exactly challenged for ways to spend my time, but I did have to rely on my own imagination for entertainment and had to learn to be comfortable with empty spaces and long silences. I feel that I've brought a great deal of that into my adult life. In my home, I try to encourage my family and friends to set their phones aside, for example.
So, in many ways, I thought this assignment would be fairly uneventful.
But then I realized how accustomed I've become to "doing" something. About ten minutes in, my brain was leap-frogging from topic to topic, making mental lists of things to do at work tomorrow, reminding myself to price out snow tires on the Internet, wondering which of our friends had replied to an email thread inviting them to a birthday celebration.
This blogger calls them "thought goblins." Maybe I wasn't meditating, or longing for nirvana, but I still felt that nagging question of "Am I doing this right?" and "I can't seem to relax." I realized that, for me, relaxation often comes when I'm reading a book, listening to a beautiful piece of music, watching a movie, or talking with my partner. In this moment of solitude, when asked to empty my life of all the "things" that I do, you might imagine that I would find relaxation and peace, but instead I felt tense.
Maybe that comes from my parents, who never stopped working or looking for a project. In spare moments, my mother would throw up the piano lid and play a song or two. My father would find something to fix and, if there was nothing to fix, he might start "fixing" things which weren't really broken.
from Giampaolo Macorig "A Man and His Thoughts"
But as the minutes ticked by, and tick they did, I found myself settling into a more comfortable place. Yes, my mind was still working, but now in larger and larger concentric circles. I thought about a piece of music I'd heard on the way home, the way, at that crucial moment in the song, the melancholy guitar solo was joined by joyous human voices. I thought about how I might want to redecorate the room I was sitting in. And then, for awhile, nothing at all that I can remember.
That reminded me of this awesome TED talk about the science of mind wandering, which found (yes, there's an app for that) a strong connection between moments of human happiness and day-dreaming or mind-wandering.
I like the idea that there is something restorative in letting ourselves be "not busy" and "not surrounded." That our brains, freed from restraint, might meander in ways that actually make us healthier or happier.

See ALSA project home page.
SALSA-Lib is a small, light-weight, hot and spicy version of the ALSA library, mainly for embedded systems with limited resources. The library is designed to be source-level compatible with ALSA library API for limited contents. Most of function calls are inlined, and accesses directly to the hardware via system calls. Some components like ALSA sequencer aren't supported, and most of all, the alsa-lib plugins and configurations are completely dropped. Thus, neither dmix nor format conversion is available with SALSA-lib.
HDA-Tools are the programs for setting up the HD-audio driver on user-space. The package includes kernel patches for adding the hwdep hook, and user-space programs for configuration, including module codes for various codec chips.
The following documents are found in alsa-kernel/Documentation/DocBook directory, too. The files below are generated from them.
A tutorial for writing a PCI ALSA driver.
ALSA Driver API Reference
The following one is converted from a plain-text file in alsa-kernel/Documentation directory.
Descriptions about ALSA OSS-Emulation on the kernel.
The newer version of latency-test tool is available. It's for 2.6 kernel only, and uses RTC as the interrupt source.
About the latency on linux, please refer to this page. I hacked Benno's latency measurement tools for ALSA. Here is the FTP directory above.
My colleague, Werner Fink, extended/fixed Andy's ac3play. You can find the latest version here.
ASeqView is an ALSA sequencer user-client which works as event viewr. It visualizes received events, e.g. note-on/off, controls, pitch wheels, using bar graphs, as often seen in many sequencer programs. Using this viewer, even a simple command line sequencer like pmidi or playmidi1 becomes a cool one with graphical interface :-)
Another feature of ASeqView is redirection of events. ASeqView can output the received events to subscription ports with some modification like channel mute or pitch change. Since this works as a real-time filter client, such modifications can be applied also in real-time without complexity.
Since the recent version (0.2.3), aseqview includes the piano view support (thanks to Patrick Horn). See the screenshot below.
This program is originally for AWE32/64 driver on OSS/Free, but
it works now on ALSA, too.
Start the program with
--device alsa option.
Then, connect this client to any ALSA port by aconnect utility, for example,
% aconnect 128:0 65:0Alternatively, you can use
--addr 65:0 option to connect
directly from vkeybd.
Some demo programs for ALSA sequencer. Most of the part has been impelemented in aseqview. I just show this for test only.

Greece is currently feuding with Macedonia over, of all things, the use of the name Macedonia. Greece insists that Macedonia change its name because the Greeks fear that Macedonia is stealing the Greek National identity, and may one day lay claim to an area of Greece known as Greek Macedonia.
How did this come about? If you open a history book, you will find that Greece's national hero, Alexander the Great, hailed from "Macedonia." Greece argues present-day Macedonia consists mostly of Slavs and others who invaded the region a millennium after Alexander died. Greece claims Alexander as its own, from the city of Pella, located in present-day Greece.
Because Macedonia refuses to change its name, Greece vetoed Macedonia's bid to join NATO, and is blocking Macedonia's admission to the European Union.
Names matter. Names influence politics and policy. In a busy world, public opinion forms quickly, and is often based on information that is untrue, or that lacks context. World public opinion can drive outcomes, whether or not the opinion is fact based.
People throughout the world haven't focused much attention on the Greek-Macedonian dispute, but the governments of Greece and Macedonia are at loggerheads. Because it is not a hot button issue for many people outside of Greece and Macedonia, I can tell you this story without sounding provocative.
The name "Palestine" is also a name that matters. This name is central to one aspect of the Israeli/Arab-Islamic dispute.
In the early part of the 20th century, "Palestine" was the name given by the international community to a geographic region slated to be a Jewish homeland. The indigenous people of the area, Jews, were returning to their homeland.
Part of Palestine was taken away from the slated Jewish homeland and given by the British to the son of an Arab ruler who lost control of what became Saudi Arabia. Thus nearly 80% of Palestine became the present-day Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1948, the Jews of the now smaller "Palestine" decided not to call itself Palestine, but rather to call its country Israel. This was a fateful decision. The Arabs who lived in areas of the smaller Palestine—most of them, like the returning Jews, lived there for a generation or two at most—associated themselves with other Arabs who lived in "Jordan" and other Arab nations that attacked Israel to drive Jews into the sea.
In 1950, Jordan "annexed" what the United Nations then called Judea and Samaria, and called the area the West Bank, since the area was on the West Bank of the River Jordan. The people who lived there became Jordanian citizens (Jews were not allowed to stay).
In the 1960's, a movement formed in Egypt, Yasser Arafat's PLO, set about to re-brand local Arabs with a new name their fathers loathed, a named once associated with Jews—Palestinians. The PLO's aim in adopting the name was to start the process of destroying Israel. They made no claim to the "West Bank," then controlled by Jordan, or Gaza, then controlled by Egypt. The movement was not then powerful enough to challenge this status quo.
But something changed along the way.
The current crisis for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is that the majority of its population now calls itself Palestinian too. King Abdullah of Jordan fears "Palestinians" will reference the map that once showed a "Palestine," that included both Jordan and Israel, and attempt to seize control of Jordan.
The "Palestinian" national identity created in the 1960's to destroy Israel, now threatens the Jordanian monarchy.
That is why this past month, Jordanian authorities have started revoking the citizenship of thousands of "Palestinians" living in Jordan. Tensions are rising. Violence is occurring.
The Jordanians claim their latest measures are aimed only to ensure that "Palestinians" are not prevented from returning to their original homes inside Israel. In truth, the actions are meant to preserve the Hashemite Kingdom.
Jordan's Interior Minister Nayef al-Kadi said, "We insist that Jordan is not Palestine, just as Palestine is not Jordan." Compare Kadi's words to the words of King Abullah's father, King Hussein. He said this of Palestinians and Jordanians. "The two peoples are actually one. This is a fact."
In a busy world, names matter. If Jordan were called "Palestine," world sympathy would quickly turn from support for a homeland for Palestinians, to support for solving a border dispute between countries.
The upshot is this. There is plenty of room for everyone to live peacefully and prosper in the Middle-East. Israel, the sole Jewish majority state, should be large enough to be independently viable in all respects. Simultaneously, the world should help facilitate better lives for Palestinians and Jordanians. This is doable, but in a busy world, names matter, and they often get in the way.

Pick on the Taxpayers
- Hey SCC,
Anyone remember Revenue targeting St. Juliana's during Mass on Sunday a while back.
Not sure if this is totally by coincidence or what but with the City Council poised to vote on an Ordinance Amendment this week, it seems like someone from Revenue gave the order to target the 41st Ward before they can no longer write a certain parking ticket.
The City Council is scheduled to Vote on an Ordinance change amending the Permits that owners of Pickup Trucks can get from the Alderman's Office allowing them to park 24 hours-a-day on Residential streets. The current Permit is restricted to Trucks/Large SUVs weighing up to 4,500lbs. The proposed Ordinance should lift that restriction to 8,000lbs.
I know a lot of us have trucks for recreational, sporting, business purposes and the necessary 4WD to get to work in the winter. Throughout the 28 years I've lived in the 41st Ward I have rarely seen or heard of this ticket being written without a complainant. With this said, Revenue was out this morning Targeting Pickup Trucks on the West end of the 41st Ward writing tickets citing MCC 9-64-170A (Essentially, parking for expeditious loading/unloading only). Might be wise to spread the word to get your trucks off the side streets till this gets resolved. Trucks with RV plates and and a Cab Top on the bed, Looks like you might be safe.
Oh and watch out for the infamous "It was a Guy on a Bicycle"!

text: I did not authorize the download and installation of this program and I have no idea where this prorgam came from, but it appears this is the support forum. I fired up my work laptop and I have this new program now in my system tray, Prevx 3.0, and it says I have 10 infections and wants me to buy the program. There is no way to end the process in the task manager. Any attempt to end this process fails. I tried the Prevx removal tool, and it said it was successful in removing it, but as soon as I rebooted, the program starts automatically again. This is my work laptop, and I have no idea how in the world this program got on my machine, but doing so without my consent or my company's consent is a violation of the law. I do not have access to "Add/Remove Programs" on my machine, and this software did not come with it's own built-in uninstaller. Can someone please assist me with the removal of this program from my machine?

Guto Requena describes his work as "a world where flexibility and reclamation of materials and objects make the space both simple and comfortable;" a hybrid habitat where users interact with their surroundings.
The Brazilian architect is on the cutting edge of design. For years he studied the patterns and behaviours of the digital culture, the way it changes the human relationship with design and the way cities and personal spaces are built.
Requena believes that the flexibility and multi-functionality of objects allows for people to interact with them. Interactive living is an idea Requena has been toying with for some time now. His designs are meant to evoke emotional responses, as is exemplified in the hybrid habitat. Pieces in the hybrid habitat do not just promote convenient living, but everyday play.
For his next venture, Requena will design -- and redefine -- Google headquarters in Sao Paulo. His modern take on design and architecture is sure to push the envelope, redefining individual space.

Stone of Reasoning & Discernment
Although cauliflower (or vegetables at all) probably isn't the first thing that pops into one's mind when thinking about Howlite, they do actually have a 6 degrees of separation connection. Howlite is found in it's original state as large cauliflower-like masses. Originally named for Henry How, a 19th century mineralogist, as he was said to be the first to make this discovery in Nova Scotia.
Howlite is a fairly soft gemstone as gemstones go, therefore it takes dye easily; which in turn has allowed Howlite to become an inexpensive alternative to more costly gemstones. It's natural color is white, gentle and clean with gray and black veins. Dyed with any rich hue of color, it may resemble Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli or Red Coral…one would never have guessed that it began very much resembling a common vegetable.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Scientific Gemstone Properties"][vc_column_text]
Mohs Hardness of 3.5 with a monoclinic crystal structure
Howlite is one of those minerals that is more infamous for imitating other minerals than it is for it's own qualities. Natural Howlite is always white or gray, it accepts a nice polish, and it's procelaneous luster is actually quite attractive undyed.
The United States, specifically California, is the source for almost all of the Howlite mineral. Nodules of up to 125 pounds have been found there. It is formed in continental evaporite deposits with other borate and evaporite minerals. It forms in nodules that appear like the heads of cauliflower. Actual crystals faces on the nodules are rare. Veins of black web-like streaks often are interlaced throughout the nodules, adding to their character and appeal.
Howlite is often a confusing mineral to classify. The silicon atom in its formula would normally require its classification as a silicate mineral. Although some classification schemes prefer to place Howlite with other borate minerals in the carbonates class, as it has five borons to only one silicon, and that its character and formation are more in line with other borate minerals.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Metaphysical Gemstone Properties"][vc_column_text]
Howlite is best known for it's strong associations with self-awareness, creativity, and improving one's emotional well being and attitudes. It enhances character building, a sense of decency, and encourages the development of desirable personal aspect. In general, Howlite aids in dispelling anger, resentfulness, selfishness, and allows one to look inside the for answers. It also aids in communicating the negative emotions with a clearer emotional expression, which will always result in calmer 'confrontations'.
It decreases the over critical mind, rudeness and offensive behavior, increasing subtly, decency, and tact. It is also quite helpful for those who tend to procrastinate.
Meditating on a piece of Howlite can assist one in journeying outside the body and gaining insight from ones past lives. Place upon the third eye, it opens memories of previous times and lifetimes.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title="Healing Gemstone Properties"][vc_column_text]
Howlite is predominantly a calming stone. It will aid in sleeping, calming the overactive mind, eases insomnia, dreaming, dream retention and stress relief.
Physically, it calms the whole body and releases muscle tension. It eliminates pain brought about by stress. And is said to aid in healing stress related injuries such as ulcers, heart problems and rashes.
It is helpful in balancing the calcium levels in the body as well as strengthening teeth and bones.
