Your New State-of-the-Art, Space-Age, Awesometastic Movie Theater!
Movie theaters are good, but they could be AWESOME with these three simple changes:
Theaters are giant windowless boxes soaking in the sun and using up tons of kilowatts keeping the place nice and cool. What a waste! Put them underground!
Underground movie theaters are energy-efficient and just plain prettier. From the outside. No more giant beige box. However, it's best to keep the lobby above ground so the staff don't turn into complete troglodytes.
Imagine a row of high-tech kiosks where you can buy your tickets and/or order your snacks for pickup AT THE SAME TIME. Pay for everything at the kiosk, print out your ticket, pick up your snack and GO WATCH THAT DAMN MOVIE!
Fear not! This will not put teenagers out of work. They can staff the regular ticket counters for moviegoers who just can't handle that there new-fangled technology stuff.
Also, sadly, we still need people to prepare the food. AND techs to fix the kiosks when they break. (Or at least to hang an out-of-order sign on them.)
*Thanks to my hubby Dale for this idea! 🙂
No more 10 minute trek to and from the bathroom all while missing a major plot point. Just install a bathroom (or two) just inside the door of each theater at the cineplex.
Each bathroom will have red lighting for less light leakage. There will also be closed circuit TVs showing the same movie as in your theater! Located inside each stall and above the sinks, you'll never miss a moment!
You'll always have the perfect seat with the new parallel universe seating arrangements! Using quantum mechanics, multi-dimensional fractals and Schrödinger's Cat, there is one block of seats in the perfect spot and EVERYONE can sit in it at the same time watching the same movie.
For a few bucks extra, you can buy that seat in a block so you and your friends can sit together!
For double the price of a matinée ticket, you can get the full theater experience: images of everyone else sitting in the theater are projected around you, giving you the full audience effect! Additional features include video and audio, or, for a quieter experience, restrict audio just to standard audience reactions such as gasps, laughter and screams!
A bonus to this bonus: fewer physicists will be out of work creating and maintaining this theater attraction! That's right, physicists can work in the entertainment industry!!!!! And get free tickets! Sexy!
So get your friends together and demand to be the first in the nation with a very special, state-of-the-art, space-age, awesometastic, underground, kiosked, interior toileted, multi-dimensional seating theater!

This Week's Color is R:132 G:91 B:149 (#845b95)
Class is one of my blind spots when it comes to axes of discrimination, and so I found the Cracked Podcast on class in the US - and the extensive related links - fascinating. I believe I'm middle class; I really recognized myself in the description of looking down both on people from "trailer parks" and people with "Legacies" for Ivy League Schools. However, I have a lot of fantasies of and aspirations to be classy: I wield power through social leverage instead of physical, I try to have "good taste" and not be garish or lewd, I reify self-control and philanthropy. Ethically, I'm solidly pro-social justice, but examining my own class is unexpectedly unnerving.
There's a secondary conversation at the end about changing social mores which I found really interesting - the point about how rapidly terminology and understanding is changing within individuals of a variety of classes. I think we over-estimate the effects of changes: Civil Rights didn't end racism, Marriage Equality didn't end LGB discrimination, and suffrage didn't end sexism - it's 2016 and we're actually not that progressive on the whole.
If these topics interest you, I've been really struck by both the Cracked Podcast topics and their responsiveness to feedback along social justice lines. It's one of the only male dominated podcasts I listen to regularly because they really help me with building those skills in myself. Their ability to self-examine and rethink things is really admirable.

Inside, I made a little tag book of sorts. I used a ball chain, so new pieces can be added any time.
The tag book consists of a bead and charms, a couple of different sized tags, and two different sizes of a chipboard cage with solid back (2" and 3"). The wires of the cages were colored with silver metallic Sharpies, and the backs were covered with images from the Blue Birds collage sheet. I used spray mount to attach the fronts to the backs. The birdhouse charm on the last tag is hung in a little window. I used a little E6000 to hold the bottom of the charm in place on the bottom of the cutout ledge.
Here's an aerial view of the paper flowers and leaves stacked up on the top of the box:
I think it makes a pretty nice set for spring. For a complete set of supplies I used in making this project, click here.

Higher mark-ups on hardware and software have become an accepted reality for the average Australian consumer, but that could all change, thanks to a parliamentary inquiry announced by Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Stephen Conroy over the weekend. The impetus behind the inquiry is Labor MP and federal member for Chifley Ed Husic, writes Laura Parker on sister site GameSpot AU.
Husic pointed out the usual price-hikers — Adobe, Apple, Canon, Lenovo, Microsoft — in a speech to parliament last month.
Could this be the end of the Australia tax? My own experience from Canada is not optimistic on this front; things were marked up above US prices, and the border was only an hour's drive away. Rather than being an Australian- or Canadian-targeted mark-up, it seems to be more "not the US"-based.
It should be interesting to watch the vendors explain their pricing policy, though, especially for digital goods. I'm looking at you, Adobe and CS6 pricing.
Meanwhile, discussion and flaming has continued over the issue of whether Linux Australia should change its name.
A summary of the discussions until Friday is over on ZDNet Australia, or you can wade into the mailing list itself and let the spiky tone wash over you.
The prime example of a conference that would be better served by a name change is PyCon Australia,. Its organiser Chris Neugebauer wrote: "I believe that something like 'Open Source (Communities) Australia' indicates that the organisation encompasses free and open-source projects beyond Linux. It seems to me that with such a name, it would be clearer that the organisation covers the Python community in Australia, also the Drupal community — many communities — and not just the Linux Community."
The retort to which, from David Newall, was: "If the Python community are put out by our unashamed attachment to our Linux roots, might we not be better to cut them loose and use our energies (and finances) to support a more grateful and less embarrassed group? Might sound harsh, but give it fair thought."
On a more positive note, if you were looking to head to PyCon Australia, early bird registrations are now open, and the conference has secured a deal with Wrest Point Casino for accommodation.

Veterans Day YMCA Special
On Saturday, November 11, 2017 the YMCA of Greater Montgomery will be having a Veterans Day YMCA Special. We will be waiving the joining fee for all active duty, reserve, former, and retired military personnel. This is for one day only so don't wait!
History of Veterans Day
The United States Congress adopted a resolution on June 4, 1926, requesting that President Calvin Coolidge issue annual proclamations calling for the observance of November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. A Congressional Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday: "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'."
In 1945, World War II veteran Raymond Weeks from Birmingham, Alabama, had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who died in World War I. Weeks led a delegation to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who supported the idea of National Veterans Day. Weeks led the first national celebration in 1947 in Alabama and annually until his death in 1985. President Reagan honored Weeks at the White House with the Presidential Citizenship Medal in 1982 as the driving force for the national holiday. Elizabeth Dole, who prepared the briefing for President Reagan, determined Weeks as the "Father of Veterans Day."
U.S. Representative Ed Rees from Emporia, Kansas, presented a bill establishing the holiday through Congress. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, also from Kansas, signed the bill into law on May 26, 1954. It had been eight and a half years since Weeks held his first Armistice Day celebration for all veterans.
Congress amended the bill on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans," and it has been known as Veterans Day since.

Shooting Big!
Here are a couple of shots that I took for the project. The first one is of a bearing. When I say bearing, it is not like any bearing that I have ever seen. I'm talking big and heavy. Substantial. I liked the way the light was playing off the shiny parts and decided to limit light so that the outer housing tended to blend into the black background. It turned out very industrial looking, but a little artsy looking too.
In a time that I haven't been doing much photography, this was a good exercise that required me to think about what I would photograph, previsualize the end product, and then use the principles learned in The Manual DSLR Project to bring my creative vision to fruition.
The graphic wrap should be installed in the next couple of weeks; I will share a photo of the trailer at that time.
All the best... Mike

The First Snow
First snow has arrived. According to the news, the accumulation will only be one or two inches. When I had my car at the tire place, I put on snow tires, so I feel prepared for winter driving. It's amazing to think that a few days ago, it was almost 70 degrees.

Ways To Get Some Cheap Christmas Shopping Done
Though many people take pleasure in the spirit of giving gifts during the holidays, it can also be true that Christmas shopping might be a considerable economical burden for some people. This can be very true should you have a big household or perhaps a size able list of close friends that routinely swap Christmas presents. Holiday shopping is usually a personal difficulty for individuals who truly feel obligated to buy pricey presents for each individual on their Christmas list. Nevertheless, it is possible to handle the monetary pressure which frequently results from Holiday shopping. A great way to cope with this monetary issue is to create a financial budget in advance. An additional way to handle the financial pressure of Holiday shopping is to buy gifts all year round rather than all at one time. This information talks about the value of establishing a financial budget for cheap Christmas shopping along with just how Holiday shopping becomes much less fiscally difficult simply by spreading out your Christmas purchases all through the year.
Anyone who has issues over how much money they are having to pay on their Christmas gifts should look into setting up a financial budget so they are able to do some cheap Christmas shopping. So that you can start the whole process of establishing a budget for your Holiday purchases, you should initially make a list with all the different individuals you want to purchase Christmas gifts for this christmas season. This particular shopping list ought to include the many special relatives and buddies you usually buy presents for along with any co-workers or staff you usually buy presents for. You might also need to plan for items contributed to toy drives set up by non-profit agencies in case you generally make contributions during these kinds of holiday events.
After you have the shopping list of individuals that you give gifts to, generally there are a handful of techniques to begin setting up a financial budget. Maybe the best way would be to choose how much you intend to spend on the Holiday shopping and split this sum by how many gifts you need to buy. This may give you a financial budget where you intend to spend the same amount of cash on Holiday presents for each individual on your Christmas checklist. This kind of spending budget technique might be suitable if you are considering buying comparable presents for everybody on your Holiday list however it will not work if you wish to buy a little something special for some of your best friends or family members.
An additional method for creating a Holiday shopping budget so that you can get some cheap Christmas shopping done is to find out what amount of cash you want to devote to Christmas gifts and then divide the list of people in to various groups. A few of the groups you might like to incorporate are special friends and family members, co-workers, acquaintances and presents that are bought for individuals you don't know very well.. After you have all the people of the checklist grouped you are able to figure out the amount of your complete spending budget you want to spend on each and every group. For instance you may choose to devote 50% of the entire budget on your best friends and family members, 25% of your total spending budget on co-workers, 15% of the spending plan on acquaintances and the other 10% on Christmas presents for nonprofit drives. You may then start using these figures to decide on the overall sum of money you will pay out on each group and split that amount from the overall number of individuals in each and every group to determine the amount of money for everyone on your Christmas list.
Christmas Shopping on a Budget
One last method for setting up a financial budget for your cheap Christmas shopping is to begin by figuring out the amount you intend to spend on the people that you are closest to on your checklist. This will in all probability consist of your closest family members. When you establish the amount of money you want to spend on closest family members, it is time for you to divide up the leftover cash in your Christmas shopping spending budget. This could either be done randomly by splitting up the rest of the amount of money in your spending budget by the amount of individuals remaining on your checklist or you may proceed to look through your checklist choosing the dollar amount for each individual till you have spent all your money within your budget. At this point if there are individuals still left on your Christmas list you will need to possibly reevaluate the dollar amounts you will have previously selected or think about removing a few individuals from the checklist.

Brooklyn Bridge
Centennial Bridge, a number of film and television dramas, viewing the Manhattan skyline and sunset views.
Introduction of scenic spots
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the bridge is equipped with walking and cycling lanes. Stroll on the bridge, the ship under the bridge, high-rise Manhattan in front of the sky, Sunset twilight in the river and the distance of the Statue of Liberty, New York is the most beautiful scenery.
Under the Brooklyn Bridge is the beautiful environment Park, the bridge bottom carousel may help you to regain the childlike innocence, nearby Dumbo Art District also can take you to appreciate the American artists ' inspiration and the creativity. Walk to the Manhattan area, and you can go to Chinatown or small Italian areas to taste the delicious, or walk down the street to a busy wall on the vicinity of a touch of copper cattle.
The bridge is also a common scene in American film dramas, such as "The Bankruptcy sisters", "Gossip Girl", "New York mob" and other dramas. Walking along the road, but also to see the words of the world's countries, if you with pen or friendly ask around the world friends, may wish to leave the best wishes here.
Special Tips
1. For security purposes, "love locks" on the bridge have been banned and violators will be fined $100.
2. There is a white line in the middle of the bridge sidewalk, because pedestrians are common with cyclists, so pedestrians walk on the right side of the white line and cyclists ride on the left. Do not walk on the bicycle road to the people who affect cycling.
3. The bridge is a lot of people, do not crowded, noisy, long time also do not stay in one place, avoid affecting other pedestrians or bicycles pass.
4. On the July 4 of the United States Independence Day, the fireworks can be watched here.

How does self-regulation develop?
Sensitive and comforting care from warm, supportive and trusted adults helps children develop self-regulation. Children can also learn how to regulate their feelings by watching their parents and carers manage their own feelings and behaviours. Seeing their parents and carers effectively manage their own feelings and behaviours helps children learn how to do this for themselves.
Why is self-regulation important for mental health?
Self-regulation skills are linked to how well children manage many other tasks during early childhood. For example, as a child learns how to self-regulate, skills such as concentrating, sharing and taking turns develop. This enables a child to move from depending on others to beginning to manage by themselves. Most children at some stage will struggle to manage their feelings and behaviours, particularly when they are tired, hungry or facing new experiences. When this happens, they might become upset, sulky or angry.
This is all part of being a young child and is not necessarily cause for concern. However, difficulties in emotional and behavioural self-regulation that occur often, across a number of settings and over long periods of time can be warning signs that mental health difficulties may be present. Examples of self-regulation difficulties in children include ongoing difficulties with concentration (eg being able to listen to a story), looking very sad and uninterested in daily activities (eg playing with other children), or becoming easily upset and worries so they are unable to move on. In this situation talking with a health professional may be useful.
What helps develop self-regulation?
Parents, carers and staff play an important role in helping children learn to self-regulate their feelings and behaviour. There are many opportunities for this in the normal routine of day-to-day life. Some of the ways adults can support children's development of self-regulation skills include:
- Closely observing a child to help you to see what they are coping with and where they might need more support.
- Providing the support children need at times when they are upset, tired or angry helps them to develop their self-regulation skills.
- Breaking down complicated tasks into manageable parts so that children can practise self-regulation without becoming overwhelmed. Activities like learning to get dressed, turn taking, listening to others and working out differences give children an opportunity to practise their self-regulation skills with the support and guidance of a trusted adult.
- Demonstrating effective self-regulation of their own feelings and behaviours. Children learn how other people behave by watching the people around them. When parents, carers and staff effectively manage their own feelings and behaviour they model self-regulation skills to children. Adults model behaviour every day, such as the way that they talk to people, wait for the traffic lights to change or decide what TV program to watch, for example. These all require self-regulation of feelings and behaviour.
- Using words, gestures and touch as cues to help children regulate their feelings and behaviour. Naming feelings for young children like: "You sound angry"; or "l wonder if you are frustrated?" help children recognise their emotions. When gentle touch and words are used together this can act as a cue for children to start calming themselves, for example, 'let's relax' or 'l am here to help you'.
Other suggestions to consider
Other suggestions that can be useful when helping children keep a balance and manage their feelings and behaviours are:
- being calm
- responding and acknowledging what children are trying to communicate
- using supportive boundaries, routines and limits to provide structure and predictability
- making sure experiences are suited to the age of the child
- showing empathy and care towards children.

Writer: Tonya Suther, (575) 646-6233, firstname.lastname@example.com
New Mexico State University's Master's of Public Administration program has received a six-year reaccreditation from the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). The College of Arts and Sciences program is one of the first in the U.S. to be reaccredited with the agency's new, higher standards involving student learning outcomes.
"With the implementation of NASPAA's new accreditation standards, the role of assessment, and especially competencies, in the quality assurance and self-study process was magnified," said Christina Medina, the program's director and associate professor of government. "Programs now have a greater responsibility to demonstrate how well students are learning the information the program provides."
The certifying organization, formally known as National Association of School of Public Affairs and Administration, consists of 282 member institutions, offering undergraduate and graduate degrees in public affairs and administration. Accreditation through NASPAA indicates that a program has undergone a rigorous peer review process and deemed a quality program.
Of the total number of MPA programs eligible to participate in the peer review process, 172 programs at 162 schools (only 57 percent of member schools) were accredited in 2012-2013, according to Medina. NMSU's program has continuously received accreditation since 1989.
"While the previous standards required that programs be mission driven, engage in assessment, and use assessment results to guide performance, the new standards require an additional focus on student learning outcomes," Medina said.
The reaccreditation process began with a yearlong self-study, reviewed by a commission of 11 peer institutions and a public practitioner. A three-member team then conducted a site visit, meeting with faculty, staff, students, alumni and key administrators. The team sent the final report to the commission who made the recommendation.
Neil Harvey, government department head, said the process led to the implementation of an advisory council made up of program alumni, donors and other stakeholders. He said it also provided an opportunity to takes things in a different direction in response to cultural diversity, the U.S.-Mexico border region and the university's mission as a land-grant institution.
"We plan to really craft the identity of the program, as well as the department's," Harvey said. "To fit those needs and those possibilities that we have, just because of who we are and where we are."
The program is intended for students seeking employment in the public and government sectors, as wells as with nonprofit organizations.

Brides and grooms pour over color swatches and read countless articles to decide exactly which shades of their desired colors complement each other best when choosing wedding colors. Pinks and greens, blues and yellows, the color combinations are seemingly endless. A monochromatic color scheme is nearly never seen. Using a monochromatic scheme even in just key areas of a wedding ceremony and reception can help create a unique, memorable and beautiful look and atmosphere.
It's All In the Textures
The key to properly implementing a monochromatic (or nearly so) color scheme is to vary the textures rather than the colors. Soft silky flowers, grainy sand, smooth ceramic containers and jagged crystal hard candies all in the same color add the variety needed to create an impressive display. Vary flower types in bouquets but keep them all the same color. Shades will of course vary.
Color Accents
For an afternoon party, try a white scheme with a few very pale and varying shades of yellow. Try to let the colors flow with each other rather than using one to accent the other. An evening reception may use all shades of silver and gray. Satiny silver table cloths, gray napkins with a touch of white embroidery and classic silverware and silver chargers. Matte white wedding invitations with pearlized white accents can set the stage for a monochromatic wedding.
Be sure to use several shades of the chosen color and only one or two shades of any other color being included. The added color should be very close to the original color that has been chosen. Any accents of other colors should be limited to one accent per table or table sized area. Keep in mind the accent will be a pop of color so be sure it is unique and well placed.
Get an Idea
A great way to try out this idea without spending a fortune on fabric samples is to order card stock in various shades of a few colors. To get different textures use crayons and colored pencils in similar colors to create false textures. Also make cutouts in the card stock to add the illusion of texture. The cutout pieces can be used sprinkled on a piece of card stock in a different shade to give another perspective.
A monochromatic color scheme is unconventional, nontraditional and so unexpected it leaves guests breathless from the effects. Pull out those swatches and start dreaming.

Are you a sniper who likes a bit of photography on the side? If you answered, "Yes, I like to shoot faraway pictures when I'm not shooting faraway humans," we have the camera for you.
Fujifilm's FinePix 10.3MP HS10 claims the world's first 30x manual zoom, meaning you'll need steady hands if you're going to snap on full extension sans tripod, even with the triple image stabilisation.
Moving targets – sorry, subjects – can be shot in 1080p video as well, and the HS10 has a 1000fps slo-mo mode, too, for taking pictures of exploding fruit. Or heads.
The HS10, which we first heard about in spring, can also handle 10fps continuous shooting and has a hi-res 3in LCD, sweep panorama and an electronic viewfinder that automatically kills the LCD when held to your eye.
Fujifilm FinePix HS10 is available now and will set you back £380, considerably less than you'd pay for a new tactical assault rifle.

While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger cars they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, advertising and marketing team prepared the world for the intro of a car they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 essentially every element of the car's design and advancement, from initial design sketches to clay designs, was photographed and thoroughly documented. Chevy used the possessions to develop a 30 -minute film The Camaro for sale in Duncan NE , which was later on shown on TELEVISION and in cinema. They likewise presented ladies's clothing called the Camaro Collection and even a Camaro roadway race game.
Chevy Camaros For Sale
In November, Chevy sales executives and creative individuals previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's age-old ad agency, instantly began deal with brochures, direct mail and sales promo materials, along with print, outdoor and TV/radio marketing. In April 1966, at the New York Car Show Interview, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had been chosen for the new vehicle, but did announce that prices of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Duncan NE model will be in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management was nervous about the aggressive undertones of the Panther name. A similar bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac variation, code word the Banshee, to be relabelled Firebird. Over its short lifetime, the F-car had been called by numerous names consisting of Wildcat, Chaparral, Commander and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy considered utilizing the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which progressed into GeMini and finally Gemini. However, GM's upper management vetoed the idea, fearing the car might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that someone at Chevrolet lastly proposed the name Camaro and upper management rapidly agreed. Although the name has no genuine meaning, GM researchers apparently discovered the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "pal" or "companion." It's reported that Ford Motor Company researchers likewise found other meanings, consisting of "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Since a number or pre-launch materials had actually already been released utilizing the Panther name, Chevy's the majority of pressing difficulty was to now rename their new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Duncan NE by looking for classic car dealers.
Lastly, on June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live interview in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the first time in history that 14 cities were linked in real time for an interview by means of telephone lines. Elliot M. "Pete" Estes, who changed "Bunkie" Knudsen as Chevrolet General Manager in July 1965, began the press conference by declaring all participants were now club members of the Society for the Elimination of Panthers from the Automotive World (SEPAW.) Estes with confidence revealed that Camaro was selected as the name for Chevy's new four-passenger sports car to honor the tradition of starting Chevy design names with the letter C such as the Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle, and Chevy II.

Hello Thursday Friends!
I am usually very nervous about water coloring because I am sort of a control freak. So this tends to be the extent of it for me. Even though it is primitive, it makes me happy. Now on to the stamps: I love the sets I used because you can mix and match them. These sets are really popular for Bible Jounaling, but for me as a card maker, they are wonderful and versatile stamps too.
Here is a list of the sets I used:
Creative Worship Just Be (coming soon)
Creative Worship Words of Life Collection 3 (coming soon)
Be sure to check out all the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
wonderful clear stamps.
Have a marvelous day and we'll be back tomorrow with another post.

|Rare find: Dug ID disc for 18th New York Cavalry Private Patrick Burke.
It's the size of a penny. (Photo: Donald L. Clem)
|Well-worn front of bronze McClellan ID disc for
Private Patrick Burke.
(Photo: Donald L. Clem)
By Richard E. Clem
When it comes to collecting relics and doing research on the Civil War, many unanswered questions surface. The following article leaves a question that may never be answered, but perhaps some reader might shed light on this unsolved mystery.
The Clem brothers started "eyeballing" for Civil War relics on the Antietam battlefield in the late 1960s. Picking up four or five of the little "gray messengers of death" (bullets) would be considered a good day. Back then, the National Park Service owned very little of this hallowed ground -- the majority of the battlefield remained in private ownership. With the invention of metal detectors, you can imagine the sudden increase in the Clem collection. And, yes, as posted on John Banks' wonderful Civil War Blog, at one time our combined collection contained around 30,000 bullets as well as many belt buckles, eagle breast plates, cartridge box plates and much more. (1)
After 20 years of swinging a metal detector in Washington County, Md., I had been blessed to have dug up three Union soldiers' ID (identification) tags. All had been lost or discarded during the Union army's pursuit of the Confederates after the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863. The stories behind these rare ID discs, or "dog tags," can also be found on John's blog here, here and here. Now it was my brother Don's overdue turn to discover one of these cherished artifacts, which most relic hunters would consider the "ultimate find." (2)
With local Civil War sites becoming less productive and harder to find, the Clem brothers decided to travel south into Jefferson County, W. Va. and Clarke County, Va. The fields, woods and apple orchards between Charles Town and Berryville proved to be very "fruitful" -- mostly Federal cavalry relics from General Phil Sheridan's 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign. (3)
The author's Civil War relic hunting journal, kept weekly since 1982, lists the following: "May 1, 1987, searched small woods just south of Summit Point (Jefferson County), dug 26 Sharps bullets, Don dug 63 Sharps + McClellan tag inscribed: 'Patrick Burke, Co. F., 18th N.Y. Cav.y, Albany City, N.Y.'" The standard .54 caliber Sharps bullet had a small paper or linen cartridge that held the black powder. However, three of Don's Sharps had cartridges made of animal skins. These rare projectiles were called "skin bullets" simply because instead of paper, the shell or cartridge holding the powder was made mostly of sheep membrane or intestines. There were many campsites around Summit Point, and after more than a century, the wooded, rocky area that yielded these Union artifacts appeared to have been untouched from the days of the Civil War. (4)

I can still hear my brother's excitement that unseasonably warm afternoon as we climbed into the pickup: "At first I thought it was just another Indian head penny until I noticed the hole and what looked like McClellan!" There are two sizes of the McClellan bronze ID disc. Don's find, the small variety, is the size of a penny while the larger version is about the size of a quarter. These little gems were not army-issue -- standard U.S. Army "dog tags" would not come until years later. Burke would have purchased his ID tag before or right after leaving New York. The front of the new discovery was well-worn, but comparing it with a non-dug duplicate and using a little imagination, one can read "Maj. Gen. G. B. McClellan, Peninsular Campaign." The "G" and "B" in McClellan's name stand for "George Brinton." Fortunately, the reverse side that includes Burke's name is very legible. (5)
After Don's discovery, questions automatically arose: Who was Patrick Burke? Did he survive the war? Was he married and did he have children? And where was he buried? The first step to trace the career of this Union cavalryman from New York was to send to the National Archives in Washington for copies of his military and pension files. (6)
From Ireland, Patrick Burke settled in Albany, N.Y., just prior to the Civil War. In the summer of 1863, the 18th New York Cavalry was organized to put down the New York City draft riots. On Aug. 12, 1863, 18-year-old Patrick Burke enlisted as a private in Company F of the 18th New York Cavalry to serve as bugler for three years. According to his military records, Burke had brown hair, brown eyes and stood 5-3. Once the riots were under control and peace restored, the 18th New York Cavalry left the state and was stationed in the defenses around Washington. In January 1864, the New York troopers received orders to report to Texas, Department of the Gulf. (7)
In the Lone Star State, the regiment was attached to 19th Army Corps, and the Yankee boys performed commendably. The 18th New York Cavalry also saw action in Louisiana and Mississippi before it was mustered out in Victoria, Texas on May 31, 1866. By that time, the war had been over for a year. (8)
Private Burke returned to civilian life in Albany, N.Y., where he married Mary Ellen Hughes on May 15, 1872. The couple's union produced three sons, John, Thomas, Joseph, and a daughter, Helen. After her husband died in 1879, Mary Ellen Burke applied for a widow's military pension, and she went to be with her husband in May 1917. (9)
But one major unanswered question remained about the life story of bugler Patrick Burke: How did his ID disc get to Jefferson County, W.Va., where it was discovered by my brother? No record exists to prove the 18th New York Cavalry was ever in the state! But we can certainly speculate how the small disc got there.
Burke's military file reveals he was "present" with his outfit from date of enlistment in New York to being mustered out in Texas. Perhaps while the 18th New York guarded defenses around Washington, several companies (including Burke's Company F.) performed reconnaissance or rounded up horses for the regiment in neighboring states. In the fall of 1864, units of the 19th Corps were sent from Texas to support General Phil Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley. Although no records exist that indicate this, perhaps elements of the 18th New York Cavalry traveled north with the 19th Corps to northern Virginia or West Virginia. One thing is certain, however: Because of the large number of Sharps carbine bullets we dug that spring day in 1987, the McClellan tag came from a Union cavalry camp. (10)
The Clem brothers would be grateful for anyone who could furnish material to prove how Patrick Burke's ID tag was left behind in Jefferson County. Besides the "Spirit of All Knowledge," the only other person who knows the truth is off duty and resting in a cemetery in Albany, N.Y.

John Blair
|John Blair
|Former Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
From: September 26, 1789 – October 25, 1795
|George Washington
|Samuel Chase
John Blair, a firm supporter of independence and the Constitution, was a member of a leading Virginia family who gained more renown as a lawyer-jurist than as a politician. President Washington appointed him as one of the original Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.[1]
Early life
"Scion of a prominent Virginia family, Blair was born at Williamsburg in 1732. He was the son of John Blair, a colonial official and nephew of James Blair, founder and first president of the College of William and Mary. Signer Blair graduated from that institution and studied law at London's Middle Temple. Thereafter, he practiced at Williamsburg. In the years 1766-70 he sat in the Virginia House of Burgesses as the representative of William and Mary. From 1770 to 1775 he held the position of clerk of the colony's council.
An active patriot, Blair signed the Virginia Association of June 22, 1770, which pledged to abandon importation of British goods until the Townshend Duties were repealed. He also underwrote the Association of May 27, 1774, calling for a meeting of the colonies in a Continental Congress and supporting the Bostonians. He took part in the Virginia constitutional convention (1776), at which he sat on the committee that framed a declaration of rights as well as the plan for a new government. He next served on the Privy Council (1776–78). In the latter year, the legislature elected him as a judge of the General Court, and he soon took over the chief justiceship. In 1780 he won election to Virginia's high chancery court, where his colleague was George Wythe.
Constitutional Convention
Blair attended the Constitutional Convention religiously but never spoke or served on a committee. He usually sided with the position of the Virginia delegation, of which he was a member. Others in his delegation included James Madison, George Mason, James McClurg, Edmund Randolph, George Washington, and George Wythe.
While in the commonwealth ratifying convention, Blair helped win backing for the new framework of government.
Supreme Court
In 1789 Washington named Blair as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, where he helped decide many important cases.
Later life
Resigning that post in 1796, he spent his remaining years in Williamsburg. A widower, his wife (born Jean Balfour) having died in 1792, he lived quietly until he succumbed in 1800. He was 68 years old. His tomb is in the graveyard of Bruton Parish Church." [2]

Yes, I'm still here. I really miss updating this blog. The past couple weeks I've actually managed to read some books again! I actually reached my goal of 111 books this year already. I think I'm going to hold off on reading any new books until the new year so I can catch up on stuff for this year….maybe! Well, here's an update. Sorry if you're sick of Agatha Christie…but I'm not, so here's what I thought of the books I read in the last few months.
The Moving Finger- Someone is sending nasty anonymous letters in a little village. One of the letters supposedly drives a woman to suicide. This is a Miss Marple novel but she's not in it a whole lot. The narrator, a newcomer to the village, tries to do some sleuthing on his own, but obviously doesn't quite get it. This is another favorite of mine. I always seem to love the Miss Marple novels. I just seem to really like the casts of characters in the small village settings. I don't think I solved it, but I don't remember! My Rating: 10/10
Towards Zero- A Superintendent Battle novel. An old woman is murdered and her nephew is the obvious suspect but everything is not as it seems. I liked the idea behind this story but there were some little side-plots that I felt were thrown in and didn't really fit. I solved this one. Too easy. My Rating: 7/10
Death Comes as the End- Really different from all Christie's other novels- this one's set in ancient Egypt. Really interesting concept and well-done, in my opinion. I do prefer her contemporary novels but this was neat for a change. A man brings a new young concubine home and she ends up dead. Then other family members stop dying. Is it her ghost seeking revenge? I don't think I guessed this one either until very close to the end when it was almost too late! My Rating- 8/10
Sparkling Cyanide- A reworking of her short story, "Yellow Iris." A woman is poisoned at a dinner party and her husband seeks to recreate the events a year later. This one has a totally different conclusion and features Colonel Race instead of Poirot. I preferred "Yellow Iris" to this, actually. I liked the new twist but Colonel Race really failed as a detective and that was a big let-down for me. I didn't solve it either. I got so good at guessing after a while but I guess that couldn't last! My Rating- 7/10
The Hollow- Country house party….Poirot stops by to visit just as a man falls over dead from a gunshot wound. Is it his wife, standing over the body with a gun? This was another good one because of how you got to see in the characters' heads. No one's actions seemed to make sense until you find out the solution, which…I did guess! My Rating- 9/10
The Labors of Hercules- Poirot's friend tries to tell him that he should spend his time reading the classics instead of solving mysteries. True to his name, he somehow stumbles upon mysteries that recreate the labors of Hercules. This was a series of short stories that varied in terms of quality. Some were pretty good, others were kinda boring. My Rating- 7/10
Taken at the Flood- A family patriarch dies in the Blitz but his new young wife miraculously survives….before he has written a new will. She is left with everything and his family is struggling because they had been dependent on him. Then some people die, but not necessarily who and why you would think. Really confusing book! I was completely wrong on everything. I also found one part of the ending really disturbing. My Rating- 8/10
Sadly my ability to review these books went down since I waited so long!

Cosequin ASU goes above and beyond the traditional Glucosamine/Chondroitin Sulfate products on the market with the addition of ASU (Avocado/Soybean Unsaponifiables). Cosequin ASU is a dual synergistic formula: the specific trademarked Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate have demonstrated synergy in stimulating the production of cartilage matrix components, while ASU acts synergistically with Glucosamine for additional joint support. In fact, the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate plus ASU has been shown in cartilage cell studies to work better than the combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate alone at inhibiting the expression of several agents involved in cartilage breakdown. These ingredients, while working via their own mechanisms of action, also work together to deliver comprehensive joint health support.
- ASU is obtained from avocados and soybeans
- ASU is a potent ingredient demonstrated to help protect cartilage and support joint function
- Tasty and easy to deliver powder

James Hamilton
Fall 2006
This course features a detailed final report and a presentation that was delivered to community stakeholders in the projects section.
Through site-specific client-based work, this course will allow students to materially contribute to redevelopment decision-making regarding a former inner-city industrial site. The course will focus on generating and analyzing pragmatic redevelopment scenarios given the issues of brownfields and environmental contamination, community preferences, regulatory constraints and economic realities.
The course is designed along two parallel and mutually reinforcing educational tracks: Field learning and classroom reflection, with ample time built into the schedule for both. As the course will focus on an actual site, there will be a sizeable portion of student time spent on location and in the surrounding community.

Presidential Candidate Meeting
We believe our generation has the most to lose or gain in this election. That's why we came together to build the Next Generation Blueprint for 2016.
Crowdsourced from more than 1,000 people in our network from 160+ cities, colleges, and universities, the Blueprint makes a bold claim: It matters who rewrites the rules, not just what rules are written.
The Blueprint is our clarion call. We live in a period of seismic social and economic shifts that have eroded the basic social contract between government and citizens. We must reimagine the building blocks of our economic, civic, and social well-being for a changing America. And we must ensure that our generation has a seat at the table.
We've identified actions our leaders can take to open the doors of government to our generation and are advocating for an aggressive approach by local, state, and national decision-makers in their first 100 days in office to meet the challenges of our time.

The former Rockford High School and Central Michigan wide receiver was not selected in the seven-round NFL draft, which concluded Saturday.
The 6-foot-5, 214-pound four-year starter for the Chippewas now will have to wait and see what NFL team his agent Rick Smith can get him hooked up with.
It was a long wait for Anderson's Central Michigan teammates, as quarterback Dan LeFevour, who was projected to go anywhere from the second to fourth rounds, was picked by the Chicago Bears with the 181st overall pick in the sixth round.
Fellow wide receiver Antonio Brown went a few picks later, 195th overall, to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

FDA further restricts pain medication use in kids
- Author: Aubrey Nash Apr 22, 2017,
Apr 22, 2017, 1:43
On April 20, the FDA issued a consumer alert warning parents that codeine and tramadol, which are both opioids, can cause unsafe breathing problems in children.
The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it is requiring makers of prescription versions of the medicines, codeine and tramadol, to change the products' labels to warn against giving them to children under age 12, and to limit use in older children.
Furthermore, the FDA also added that children ages 12 to 18 should also be warned against the use of medicine codeine or tramadol.
A 2012 review of pediatric deaths linked to codeine use resulted in an FDA boxed warning restricting its use in children younger than 18 years to treat pain after surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids.
In the body, opioid painkillers and cough medicines are broken down into morphine. Presently, codeine is approved to treat pain and cough - including as a frequent ingredient in prescription cough syrups - and tramadol is approved to treat pain.
These medicines can cause life-threatening breathing problems in children. Tramadol is not approved for any uses in children, but it is commonly prescribed off-label to children anyway.
The agency listed 15 medicines affected by the action, plus all of their generics, which included J&J's Tylenol with codeine and Vertical's tramadol med ConZip. FDA has also identified nine cases of severe breathing problems, including three deaths, with the use of tramadol in children younger than 18 years from January 1969 to March 2016, it added. Since some medicine contains narcotics like codeine and tramadol that are proven to be fatal to kids.
"These medications carry serious risks, including slowed or hard breathing and death, which appear to be a greater risk in children younger than 12 years, and should not be used in these children", the FDA said in a statement released on Thursday.
"We understand there are limited options when it comes to treating pain and cough in children", Throckmorton said.
Moreover, in order to counter pain and coughing, parents are advised to discuss alternative pain medications for their children with their doctors.
Regarding codeine use during breastfeeding, a literature search revealed numerous cases of respiratory depression and sedation, including one infant death, especially in mothers who have the CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizer genotype. Codeine products are available by prescription and, in some states, over-the-counter (OTC).
Unlike adults, some children don't metabolize the drug, which prompts adults to give a higher dose in order for the medication to be effective.
Aside from breathing issues, codeine also causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, and skin allergies.

It's that time of year when I reflect on the last 12 months and wonder about the next 12. As I get older reflection seems to emphasise just how quickly the years pass.
This year has of course had its ups and downs. Seeing the council seat which John Fletcher held for so many years slip away to another party was definitely a down. And there have been others as the dire financial situation in the country has taken jobs from so many and hope from others.
But there have been some good moments too - becoming a great-aunt 3 times in the same month as we celebrated 40 years of marriage was wonderful. Holidaying with family and meeting up with cousins I'd not seen for almost 60 years was another high spot. And there are many more happy family memories from 2011 to treasure.
Being able to witness our good friends Suzanne and John Fletcher having their long service to the borough recognised by being made Honorary Aldermen was the most enjoyable bit of the full council meetings this year, I'm sure, though of course not the most important. That honour falls to those meetings where the council's budget and forward plans are set.
And what of 2012? With luck there will be more joy with family and friends. There will be much work around the ward dealing with the issues residents bring up. There will be next year's budget setting process, and a need to look very carefully at all the implications of the council tax grant being offered. There'll be the Olympic Torch relay and Fairtrade Fortnight and the 25th Stockton International Riverside Festival and no doubt much more. So 2012 promises to be at least as busy as 2011.
Best wishes to all of you for 2012. In the words of the old toast: Health, Wealth and Happiness, and the greatest of these is happiness!

Former Israeli Ambassador To The United States, Michael Oren, Reflects On The Passing Of Ariel Sharon
HH: Former prime minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, was laid to rest today near his Sycamore Ranch in the Negev Desert. Joining me to perhaps recall for Americans who don't know, and for those who do know, the great importance of Ariel Sharon is Israel's former ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. Ambassador Oren, welcome, and thank you for joining us on what must be a very emotional day in Israel.
MO: Good to be with you, Hugh. Yes, it was quite a day. I attended the ceremony at the Knesset and then at the gravesite. World leaders, certainly Israeli leaders present and past were there coming together to commemorate truly an extraordinary figure in Israeli history, a figure that one of our founding fathers, that covered the period from the creation of Israel in 1948 until very recently, a figure not without controversy. But that controversy was set aside today as people celebrated his extraordinary accomplishments, his heroism and his leadership.
HH: Later in the program, I'll be joined by Jonathan Tobin of Commentary, and by Yossi Klein Halevi from Jerusalem. And I'm going to ask them the same thing I'm going to ask you. For the general American audience who may not recall everything about Sharon as he's been in the twilight for nearly a decade, can you capsulize what he meant to Israel?
MO: Well, as I say, he's a member of the founding father generation that today, really, within the last, outside of Shimon Peres, our president, he was wounded and left for dead in a desperate battle in Israel's war of independence in 1948. In the 1950s, at a time when the Israeli army was very demoralized, he created the famous commander group, 101, that fought terrorism in its first attempt to destroy Israel. In the 1956 campaign, he created the paratroopers and led them behind Egyptian lines to a very dashing and daring victory there. '67, Six Day War, he was one of the successful generals on the Egyptian front, and in 1973, the Yom Kippur War, he led Israeli troops across the Suez Canal in a military maneuver that's still studied at West Point today, to surround the Egyptian Army and bring a very successful conclusion of the war. And then he worked into politics. He was a champion of the settlement movement. According to his son today, he created a hundred different settlements. But he was also the architect of the very ill-fated Lebanon War starting in 1982, the Siege of Beirut, the Sabra And Shatila Massacre of Palestinian civilians by Christian militia men, which compelled Sharon to resign, found indirectly responsible by an Israeli investigative committee. And then he comes back. When everyone thinks he's gone, he comes back, and he comes back as a prime minister at a time when Israel is on the verge of imploding under Palestinian suicide bombers, after the outbreak of the terror war in 2000, and he beats them back again. He beats back terror again and again. But no sooner has he crushed the Palestinian uprising than he turned around and uprooted almost 20 settlements that he himself had helped create in the Gaza Strip, removing 8,000 settlers from their home, some of them forcibly, another four settlements on the West Bank, and he was prepared to withdraw even further unilaterally to the West Bank when he was struck down by a massive stroke. And that was in '06.
HH: Now Ambassador Oren, many people, Jonathan Tobin says we really don't have an analogy in America, and I think he's more like de Gaulle than anything else. But since you, you're a historian, and I also am assuming that you worked personally with Sharon and had conversations with him. What was he like to work with? And what was he like just to be with?
MO: Well, I've had several encounters with Sharon, and they confirm what just about anybody who has worked with him will tell you, that for all of his controversial nature on the international stage, all of his audacity on the field of battle, on the personal level, he was a very kind, caring, unassuming person who radiated warmth. And people who worked with him loved him. One of the speeches, one of those moving speeches today at the Knesset was by his personal secretary, who had been a personal secretary also for Yitzhak Rabin and for Ehud Barak, who were Labor prime ministers. And when she found out that she was going to be working for Ariel Sharon, he submitted her resignation. And she told us, related how Ehud Barak said no, you must work for Ari Sharon. You're going to find a different man. And she ended up working for him for five years, and eventually going in to apologize to him for some of the earlier reservations that she had had, and she ended up loving him. And I don't think that her story is an exception.
HH: Now Mr. Ambassador, is there a legatee? Does anyone hold the Sharon pedigree? Is there someone who speaks for the Sharonite movement in the way that de Gaulle left behind an entire movement and not just a person?
MO: Well, not entirely. I mean, no one has had those type of heroic roles in warfare that span not one, but many wars. By…on the other token, no one also has that same type of controversy behind him, like the Lebanon War or the disengagement, Lebanon War very unpopular, the last disengagement very unpopular in the right in Israel. But the big question is leadership, and he was, whether you disagreed with Sharon, whether you liked him or disliked him, no one could gainsay his leadership, that he was a man who was capable taking great decisions. And today, you have in Prime Minister Netanyahu, you have a man who has a very respected military background as a commando in Israel's special forces, and many years of legislation and leadership and diplomatic history. He has some very important decisions to make in the coming years, certainly, whether it be on the peace issue or on the Iranian issue.
HH: And a last question, Mr. Ambassador, and thanks for staying up late on an emotion-filled day in Israel. If you look at the Sharon leadership style, what's its greatest strength, and what's its greatest weakness?
MO: Well, the greatest strength, of course, is his ability to make very hard decisions, sometimes out of the box. So in the decision to create a commando group in the 1950s when such groups didn't exist, as he conducts cross-border raids was out of the box. Everything he did with the paratroopers was. Building settlements in his time was out of the box. And disengaging them was as well. That was Sharon's hallmark, his ability to take the tough decisions, and the decisions that sometimes that nobody saw coming. The drawback was his inability at times to take the public with him, and certainly, the major share of the public. And this is what he learned, I believe, Hugh, during the first years of that Palestinian intifada, which broke out in September of 2000 with this rash of terrible suicide bombers that eventually claimed the lives of a thousand Israelis. And I'll never forget living in Jerusalem and hearing these bombs going off almost every day, every night, and asked myself when is Sharon going to act? When it Sharon going to, why is he holding fire? And Sharon waited. He waited, he waited to make sure that he had the public behind him.
HH: And did he care a whit about international opinion? Or was it just the Israeli public?
MO: He cared about international opinion. Particularly, he cared about his relationship with President Bush. And certainly after 9/11, President Bush had a change of thought about the war on terror. And he recognized a very close ally in Arik Sharon. And the beginning of the Bush administration, there were reservations on the American side about some of the actions Israel was taking to defend itself, but in March, 2002, President Bush came out every night and said Israel had the right to defend itself. And it was very controversial.
HH: And on that note, Ambassador Michael Oren, Israel's former Ambassador to the United States, thanks for spending time with us on an emotion day in Israel and staying up late to do so. We greatly appreciate it.
End of interview.

Detroit City FC are one of the most-discussed teams in American soccer, possessing some of the most passionate fans in the country at any level.
I've followed the club closely since their inception in the NPSL in 2012 and after years watching from afar, finally attended my first Detroit City FC match, the season opener on May 12 vs Milwaukee Torrent at Keyworth Stadium.
On matchday, Dion Degennaro — my gracious host and photographer of the Northern Guard Supporters — took me for a tour of Detroit; stopping to see the good, and gaining perspective by driving past the bad, before heading to Keyworth for what was an incredible atmosphere.
To avoid being "that guy" on his phone in the supporters section, I wore a pair of Spectacles to share my experience. Here's what I saw during my day in Detroit.

Mohamed Dia (b. August 5, 1973), is the founder of the his own label, range of Sport's wear. French, of Malian origin. Mohamed Dia is often cited as being a sign of success of people from the suburbs. He has always been a supporter of integration and supports the idea of "positive integration".
Having visited the USA, at 19, , he realised at what point French Television did not have any policy for the integration of other races on the television. Exposure of non French people was so limited that no role models, no heroes or other were available to people who's origi,s were non-french (white and catholic).
Mohamed felt that it was time for people to realise that success for "non french (black, white and yellow) was not limited to sports or rap stars.
Mohamed is, today, CEO of one of France's most succesful streetwear companies.

Also one thing to notice: There is such a thing as having too many cooks within the kitchen. A terrific traveling tip is to get to know the bellmen at your lodge and ask them a number of questions. Traveling additionally gives people the chance to witness the attractive creation in various locations. People say that 'You'll be able to choose a man by his footwear.' In the same approach you'll be able to even decide a person by the type of baggage or traveling bag he makes use of.
A latest article from Wanderlust travel magazine has quoted some alarming statistics which present the danger of doing so. Klm airline air tickets are cheap within the off season and so attempt to schedule your travel at that time. We can provide extra layers of safety and safety for ourselves, like for instance when traveling we it's strongly suggested carrying a secondary door lock – a $5 price and small enough to place in your pocket offering this secondary layer of safekeeping.

Vikings 0 - 34 Tigers
13 March, 2017
Some Castleford tigers fans were either late to the game or turned round and went home because of a situation on the roads. The kick off wasn't delayed tho and a lot of Cas fans missed the start of the game.
For the first 20 mins Widnes put pressure on Castlefords line, but Cas held out and then opened up with 4 tries. Minikin went over twice and Shenton and Eden got one a piece making the half time score Vikings 0 - 22 Tigers.
Matt Cook and Greg Eden both scored in the second half, but Widnes didn't score at all.
Castleford were outstanding again and remain at the top of the league table after the first 4 games unbeaten.
Castleford - played 4 - won 4 - lost 0

A team of experts from Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will be holding an open session in Derby on Wednesday 1 November in order to give local people the opportunity to ask questions or share experiences on supporting a loved one with dementia.
A panel of psychiatrists, nurses and occupational therapists will be at the Dovedale Day Hospital on London Road in Derby between 6-8pm so that carers can learn more about supporting a loved one with dementia in the home environment, meet local people in similar situations and find out about the support available in their local area.
This event follows a number of other successful dementia Q&A events held across Derbyshire.
One attendee, who wishes to remain anonymous, attended an event in south Derbyshire after her husband was diagnosed with dementia. She said: "These sessions have been extremely useful and I would be lost without them – they're a true lifesaver. The fact you are with other carers who are living in similar circumstances makes you realise that you are not on your own."
Full details of the free session next week are as follows:
• Wednesday 1 November, 6pm to 8pm at Dovedale Day Hospital, London Road, Derby DE1 2XX.
Dr Ed Komocki, Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry for Derbyshire Healthcare, said: "I would encourage anyone who has questions about dementia to attend this free interactive session to get the answers and support they need.
"It is estimated that around 850,000 people in the UK have a diagnosis of dementia and this figure is expected to rise by a staggering 40% over the next 12 years, according to the Alzheimer's Society. However with an early diagnosis and the right support at the right time, many are able to lead active and fulfilling lives for many years. Therefore we feel it is vitally important to host these informal sessions to equip our local community with the information they need to spot the signs and symptoms of dementia and to help people live well in their own homes for as long as possible."

The best part is that my wife, Anna, assembled the whole system and installed Xubuntu Jaunty 9.04. She isn't very into this stuff, but she did it with very little direction and no physical help. What a sport!
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zoneminder
This doesn't get you 100% there--you have to enable ZoneMinder in Apache like so:
sudo ln -s /etc/zm/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/zoneminder
sudo a2ensite zoneminder
Now ZoneMinder was reachable at http://localhost/zm and I started configuration. I added the Panasonic camera as an external source (the same one from my last post), but the camera's page in ZoneMinder had no image. Going directly to the camera worked, so I knew I had a problem somewhere on my new system.
I enabled debugging in the "Options" section of the web interface and restarted Zoneminder:
sudo /etc/init.d/zoneminder restart
And found this in the debug logs located in /tmp:
07/04/09 09:21:11.757615 zmc_m2[32546].DB1-zm_monitor.cpp/259 [monitor purpose=1]
07/04/09 09:21:11.757662 zmc_m2[32546].DB1-zm_monitor.cpp/266 [shm.size=36865516]
07/04/09 09:21:11.757723 zmc_m2[32546].ERR-zm_monitor.cpp/270 [Can't shmget, probably not enough shared memory space free: Invalid argument]
Google found me an answer in the ZoneMinder FAQ:
sudo sysctl kernel.shmmax=36869516
sudo sysctl kernel.shmall=46869516
To make this permanent, I created /etc/sysctl.d/60-shmem.conf and added:
# Needed for zoneminder camera buffer
kernel.shmall = 46869516
kernel.shmmax = 36869516
kernel.shmmni = 4096
My one camera is working great, but I'm anxiously awaiting 2 more that should arrive next week. I installed my BlueCherry video capture card and will post again when I've hooked up my other cameras.

Lakewood, Colo. - May 13, 2010 - ZeaChem Inc., a developer of biorefineries for the conversion of renewable biomass into sustainable fuels and chemicals, today announced that it has signed a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to receive the $25 million grant awarded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Biomass Program, and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The agreement allows ZeaChem to begin receiving the first phase of funding from the grant.
The DOE grant will be used to construct and operate the cellulosic ethanol production capability that will be added to the core ZeaChem technology, which will produce ethyl acetate, the chemical precursor to ethanol. ZeaChem will begin producing cellulosic ethanol in 2011 at the company's 250,000 gallon-per-year biorefinery, to be located in Boardman, Oregon.
"We are pleased to finalize the award agreement with the DOE and look forward to starting cellulosic ethanol production at our biorefinery," said Jim Imbler, president and chief executive officer of ZeaChem. "This funding accelerates our progress toward commercialization and represents how government programs aimed at developing emerging technologies can provide the catalyst for long-term economic growth and energy independence."
About ZeaChem Inc.
ZeaChem Inc. has developed a cellulose-based biorefinery platform capable of producing advanced fuels and intermediate chemicals. ZeaChem's indirect approach leapfrogs the yield and carbon dioxide (CO2) problems associated with traditional and cellulosic based biorefinery processes. In addition, ZeaChem has a significant capital cost advantage compared to other cellulosic technologies. By efficiently extracting the most energy possible from biomass feedstocks, ZeaChem significantly increases output while reducing both production costs and environmental impacts. Incorporated in 2002, ZeaChem is headquartered in Lakewood, Colo. and operates a research and development laboratory facility in Menlo Park, Calif.
