History of Lloyd James Funeral Home
Lloyd James Funeral Home, the oldest funeral home in Tyler, opened in 1895 and was originally operated as part of the Swann's Furniture Store near the downtown square in Tyler. At that time, it was the only funeral home in Tyler. In 1920, Swann sold the funeral service to longtime associate A.K. Thorndike, and the funeral home was relocated to South Broadway and renamed Nunnallee-Thorndike Undertaking Company. The firm operated under that name until the early 1930s when it became known as Thorndike Undertaking Company and the business moved to 110 East Front St.
Around 1944, owner A.K. Thorndike sold an interest in the business to Lloyd James and Truitt Pool, and changed the name to Thorndike-James-Pool Funeral Home. When Mr. Pool sold his interest in the firm in 1947, the name changed again to Thorndike-James Funeral Home. One year later, in 1948, Mr. Thorndike passed away, and the name changed once more to Lloyd James Funeral Home. The firm moved to its current, 15,000-square-foot location 1011 E. First St. in May of 1965, and Lloyd James retained ownership until his death in 1967. Mr. James's business partners, A.C. Smart and Leonard Rozell, acquired his interest in the funeral home and continued the legacy of service to families of East Texas.

AVice President Joe Biden told Legionnaires that U.S. servicembers returning from war deserve the very best care and benefits possible – and that includes a job worthy of their service.
Speaking to a full hall at the George R. Brown Convention Center Aug. 27, Biden said shouldn’t have to cut through multiple layers of red tape to gain employment. That falls under what Biden called the one true sacred obligation: to support U.S. servicemembers, “and to care for and protect them and their families when they return,” he said. “That’s the only true sacred obligation.
“The president said, I think eloquently, no veteran who fought for h job. We should not make any apologies for Veterans Preference. We make no apologies for pushing for automatic certification of veterans who have certified skills from the United States military – or pushing for their spouses, when they move from state to state, to keep their licensure so they don’t have to go through a whole range of different tests. If you can keep the supply lines through a certain territory, you sure as hell can manage a business supply chain. If you can command a platoon, you can manage a staff. If you’re held responsible for billions of dollars in sophisticated equipment, you can handle billions of dollars of responsibility in corporate America.”
Switching to those still in the military, Biden – whose son, Beau, served in Iraq while in the Army National Guard – said that the men and women fighting in Afghanistan aren’t the only ones impacted by the war. “We have 60,000 warriors in Afghanistan,” he said. “Today, 60,000 families – multiples of that number – are doing what I watched my wife do every day and what you did every day and your family did every day when you were deployed: Two, five, 10, 20 times a day muttering that silent prayer – ‘Please God, please God, keep them safe.’
“This war is not over. We cannot forget it’s not just the sacrifices of our warriors. It’s the sacrifices their families are making: missed weddings, funeral, birthdays, Christmases, Thanksgivings. These families are warriors as well, and they deserve – just like our warriors – respect, attention and admiration.”
Biden attended U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter’s Medal of Honor ceremony Aug. 26 at the White House and said Carter took an important step for all servicemembers when he acknowledge
“With your help, we’ent,” he said. “ ’s a man of his word. With your continued help, we’l”
Biden also touched on the headline issue in the world – the situation in Syria.
“There is no doubt an essential norm has been violated,” he said. “ is no doubt who is responsible – the Syrian regime. We know th.”
Biden praised the Legion for its continued efforts on behalfsince its creation in 1919.
“That’s what the Legion knows better than almost any other organizations and individuals in all of America – the nature of that obligation,” he said. “That’s why you were formed in 1919. It’s the essence of your existence. Dedicated ‘t’ That’s what you’ve brought to the table. That’s what you’ve delivered to generation after generation of warriors. You kept the commitment.” </s> Singer Rob Thomas, best known as frontman for pop-rock group Matchbox Twenty, swing revivalists Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Dick Fox's Golden Boys are all headed in the coming months to Bethlehem.

en | N/A | N/A | When the church building is reopened for full use of the building you will find that a change has been made to the mailboxes in the fellowship hall. In the past each box was labeled with the member’s name. Boxes were in alphabetical order. This was a perfectly good system as long as membership growth was modest. The rate of new members has increased, and we thank God for that. It does, however, require a change in how mailboxes are assigned.
Using the alphabetical system the church secretary had to reorder the mailboxes periodically as members joined or left. This was time-consuming for her, and often the changes were unable to be made promptly, so there was confusion where one’s mailbox actually was. You may have experienced this mailbox reassignment more than once.
Effective immediately, the mailboxes are in numeric order, #1 to #160. Each member/family has been assigned a number. There are two identical laminated lists of box numbers and names attached to the mailboxes. Please look at the list to find your assigned mailbox. Once you know your number, it will never change. However, the lists will remain as a reference list so you can locate the mailboxes of other members should you need to leave them a note or other item.
EXAMPLE: John Smith is initially assigned mailbox #95. As long as he is a member of DSLC he will always have #95, no matter how many other members join or depart DSLC. But, when John Smith leaves DSLC permanently, for whatever reason, his mailbox number will be assigned to the next new member/family who joins DSLC following John’s departure. Even if their last name starts with a C, or H, or Y, they will have mailbox number 95.
We hope you will find this numbering system to be easy to use. If you do have concerns, please contact the church secretary, Melissa Seife. |

I was a Boy Scout in the 1980s and I loved it. No one sodomized me, though I definitely heard tales of innapropriate touching. Despite this fact, scouting was among the most important things I did as a young kid. Everybody knows the scout motto "Be Prepared," and it's been on my mind a lot lately.Being Prepared in the Baden Powell way is a state of mind. It is a zen practice. The totality of your life should be consumed by preparedness. Learn first aid. Know how to light a fire, drive a stick-shift car, put on a condom, sail a boat, paddle a canoe, ride a horse, shoot a gun, write a letter to your congressman, cook pancakes, pitch a tent, ask a girl out on a date without sounding like a jackass. The list is endless. You may be called upon to do this stuff at some point. Call me a nerd, whatever, I don't care. I'm prepared.So when the story came out last week about the CNet editor who got his family stranded on a snow-bound road, I groaned. I feel bad for his family. I feel bad that he died, but he didn't have to die and that's the worst part of it. If he just had some camping equipment in the trunk, they could have spent half the winter up there. If he had worn decent shoes and a hat, he propbably wouldn't have frozen to death. If he had stuck to the road when he went looking for help, he wouldn't have gotten lost. This list, too, is endless.The scout motto is on my mind again because of this new story about climbers stuck on Mt. Hood. Okay, so they went mountain climbing in December. Not the most comfortable time of year to climb a mountain, but whatever. What kills me is that they planned a "quick" ascent of an 11,293 foot mountain, so they didn't bring a whole bunch of burdensome cold weather gear. Oh boy.

en | N/A | N/A | Polity: How Episcopalians make decisions
Canon Andrew Wright
The 145th Annual Diocesan Convention, February 2019. CYNTHIA L. BLACK PHOTO
“Polity” is how a system is organized and structured. Each expression of Christianity has its own structure and way of making decisions. Some churches found this concept to be so important that they incorporated it into their name: Presbyterians are organized around the work of presbyters (elders); Episcopalians are organized around the work of bishops (episcopos means bishop or overseer). How decisions are made is a specific question within polity. Two common patterns are monarchical, with a central authority making decisions for all, or congregational, with decisions being made by congregations. Most Anglican churches around the world lean towards monarchical, with many decisions, such as selection of bishops, policy decisions or liturgical authorization, still being made by a central authority.
A funny thing happened, though, with the birth of the Episcopal Church in the United States. We were an Anglican church that was deeply formed in the same waters that birthed our nation, with a strong emphasis on representative democracy. It is not accidental that our denomination was formed in Philadelphia in 1789, the same year and context as the Constitutional Convention that gave our country its form of government.
The Episcopal Church is neither monarchical nor purely congregational. Instead, we elect representatives from the congregations to make decisions for the diocese, including the election of a bishop, as we did in 2018. These deputies make decisions across the diocese in our Annual Diocesan Convention; decisions are made between Conventions by an elected Diocesan Council. Additionally, those deputies elect representatives to go to the churchwide General Convention every three years and make decisions to guide the whole Episcopal Church.
Our bishops are elected, our Presiding Bishop is elected, our lay leaders both in the diocese and in the wider Episcopal Church are elected (or appointed by those who are elected). We vote to approve policies and budgets. Our liturgies and the texts of our hymns — even the possible translations of Scripture we use in our churches — are voted on by the General Convention.
Each congregation elects a Vestry or Executive Committee to make decisions such as calling a Rector, maintaining property, and overseeing the church’s finances. At each level, we seek the input and consent of those affected. This reflects the American spirit of participation in our decision-making. However, I prefer to think of it as primarily an outcome of our Baptism and the trust that God places in each of us as God’s children.
In our Baptism, we are made one with Christ. We as a community put on Christ. As we seek to order our common lives, to elect representatives and enact budgets and resolutions, even to elect bishops, all of this we do as a spirit-filled people, seeking to discern what God would have us do. This allows all of us to participate in the vocation of God’s people in the world today. When we elect people to positions in the Church, we are committing ourselves to seek God’s best will together through their work and our support.
As we plan to come together at our Convention January 31 and February 1, pray for those nominated, for those to be appointed, for all in leadership and ministry among us, that we may seek God’s good will together and be a blessing to our world. |

en | N/A | N/A | Humor is the most powerful weapon deployed by director Kenneth Branagh in Thor, his rollicking take on the comic.
Has a lot of that winking wit we've come to expect from our post-"Spider Man" Marvel movies. It has a hunky, self-mocking young star, solid support from a couple of Oscar winners and the slick sheen that state-of-the-art effects can give you.
There is nothing in this surprisingly funny, exciting film that feels like homework, and Branagh even dares to end the film on, if not quite a cliffhanger, then a daring "To Be Continued" note.
All that director Kenneth Branagh must do with Thor is not mess it up, and he succeeds. But that isn't enough. The results aren't as exhilarating as the first "Iron Man," but Downey can't play every superhero.
Unfortunately, the committee-designed script never finds a consistent balance between building characters, delivering action and pushing the story forward.
Thor accomplishes its essential goal and little else, which is to introduce the mighty warrior to the Marvel screen universe. |

en | N/A | N/A | Back to office furniture: I picture the people who design it as being design-school graduates who learned to use CAD terminals and to think in terms of metal panels and pressboard laminate tops. But they should have to work in computer tech support for a college or large office building before they get to design any furniture. Here are a few principles to get them started:
- Cables, while small, have ends which are large, and which must pass through openings and passageways where there are other cables.
- Cables are living things: they multiply. When possible, they tangle. I think they’re having sex under the table top.
- “Cable management systems” must be easier to use than a row of simple plastic conduit clamps under the desk. At least, that’s the standard to beat. The fancy stuff that actually comes out of Herman Miller and Steelcase should be called “cable tangling systems”.
- Under-desk computer mounts must be easier to use than a strap with a clamp. At least, that’s the standard to beat. Steel shafts with little pullies and ratchets and such… more trouble than they’re worth.
- Think carefully about the cable route for the mouse cable. It must be supported above the mouse platform, and be short, because mouse cables are (inexplicably) often shorter than keyboard cables.
- It might make sense to incorporate a power strip into the underside of the desk – and it should be designed so that converter blocks can plug in without bumping into each other or covering other outlets. A typical desk needs at least 7 outlets, so make it 10.
- On second thought, forget designing “cable management systems”. Just put a row of 1.5-inch conduit clamps on the underside of the desk for its whole length. Screw them down on only one side, so the other side can be pulled down to slip in cables.
- Find out how high up on the wall a typical outlet or network jack is – there’s probably a standard for it. Make sure that your “modesty panels” clear that height. Instead of covering it by a frustrating quarter-inch.
1.5 inch conduit clamps attached with one screw. I never would have thought of that. Excellent. |

The red line gives the fit of a Gaussian to the L=-3.5 cut in order to extract the maximum of the lower boundary of the spinon continuum (red line). The magenta line gives the related cut through the theoretical dynamical structure factor calculated via the algebraic Bethe-Ansatz for J3=2.90(6)~meV at L=-3.5. The fits include a sloping background and the elastic incoherent scattering peak.}
\label{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}
In order to learn more about the spin dynamics of BaCuTe$_2$O$_6$, further INS data were collected on the LET spectrometer from a single crystal sample. Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QQ_collection} presents the spectrum collected for an incident energy of $E_{\text{i}}$=4.81~meV, integrated over the narrow energy transfer range 1.8~meV$<$$E$$<$2.2~meV, and plotted in the [H,H,L] reciprocal plane. The data in Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QQ_collection}(a) were measured at $T$=1.8~K and in Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QQ_collection}(b) at $T$=8~K. At 8~K a highly symmetric pattern is revealed with two sets of parallel diffuse scattering streaks which are perpendicular to each other. Streaks of scattering observed in constant-energy slices indicate dispersionless excitations along the streak direction and are typical features of low-dimensional magnetism where the excitations are dispersionless in certain crystallographic directions. In the case of a magnet with one-dimensional interactions, the spectrum varies only along the chain direction and is dispersionless perpendicular to the chain.
In BaCuTe$_2$O$_6$ the only interaction which could give rise to the observed features is J3 which couples the Cu$^{2+}$ ions antiferromagnetically into mutually perpendicular chains along the a, b and c directions. In contrast J1 would produce a zero dimensional magnetism while J2 would result in three-dimensional magnetism. The first set of streaks which appears at integer values of L and run parallel to the [H,H,0] direction, arise from the spin-chains along the c-axis. The second set, which occurs at integer values of H and are parallel to [0,0,L], originate from the spin chains alonh the a- and b-axes. It is a characteristic feature that at odd values of H and L the streaks are systematically weaker than at even values. This scattering pattern sharpens below the transition at 1.8~K (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QQ_collection}(a)) where the streaks split into closely spaced double-streaks.
Energy slices as a function of wavevector parallel to the [H,H,0] and [0,0,L] directions can provide further insight into the spin dynamics. Figures~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(a-d) presents ToF INS spectra measured on LET with incident energy $E_{\text{i}}$=13.75~meV, at $T$=1.8~K (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(a,c)) and $T$=8~K (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(b,d)). The constant energy cuts along [H,H,0] (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(a,b)) show dispersive features which are associated with the chains parallel to the a- and b-axes. Gapless, V-shaped excitations disperse up from the odd integer L and H reciprocal lattice points, while they are considerably weaker at even integer L and H values. The excitations are not sharp but form a continuum which broadens over wavevector with increasing energy transfer achieving strong intensity at $E\approx$5~meV above which they weaken and then disappear for energies greater than 9~meV. The spectrum appears to become more intense and better defined below the N\'{e}el temperature than above. Figures~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(c, d) show the continuum along the [0,0,L] direction collected at 1.8~K (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(c)) and at 8~K (Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(d)). These features are associated with the chains parallel to the c-axis and disperse up from the odd integer L reciprocal lattice points but are significantly weaker at even L.
The high energy excitations of BaCuTe$_2$O$_6$ resemble theic chain where they take the form of a broad multi-spinon continuum rather than conventional spin-waves which would form sharp dispersive modes. Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(e) shows the theoretical dynamical structure factor for the multi-spinon continuum according to the Bethe-Ansatz \cite{Muller1981, Caux2005} which can be compared to the data. Note that because the structural unit cell contains two Cu$^{2+}$ ions per chain, the two-spinon continuum emerges from odd integer reciprocal lattice points rather than at half-integer values. The spinon continuum is contained between a lower and upper boundary given by the relations $E_L$=($\pi$/2)J3$|\sin$($\pi L)|$ and $E_U$=$\pi$ J3$|\sin$($\pi L/2)|$ respectively. The intensity is strongest at the lower boundary, and for half-integer values of L, a peak would be observed in a cut along energy marking the onset of the continuum at $E_L(max)$=$\pi$J3/2, this can thus be used to extract the value of the intrachain interaction J3.
Figure \ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(f) shows cuts through the 1.8~K dataset as a function of energy at L=2.5 and 3.5 r.l.u. with a narrow integration range over L of $\pm0.05$~r.l.u. The data reveal a peak at $ E_L(max)$=4.56(9)~meV, as found by fitting a Gaussian on a sloping background to the data (red line). This gives the size of the antiferromagnetic intrachain interaction as J3=2.90(6)~meV or 33.7(7)~K. The black line in Fig.~\ref{fig:LET_sc_QE_collection}(d) gives the boundaries of the two-spinon continuum calculated using the Bethe-Ansatz for J3=2.90(6)~meV. The calculations are in good agreement with our data. Moreover, the J3 value is found to be similar to the value extracted from dc-susceptibility of 34.40(4)~K and from heat capacity of 34.6(1)~K. The consistency between the size of J3 from different experimental measurements and the qualitative agreement of the experimental INS data with the Bethe-Ansatz theory, including the observation of continuum scattering, provide proof that the J3 interaction is the dominant interaction and that BaCuTe$_2$O$_6$ is a good realization oft where the chains run parallel to the a-, b-, and c-axes.
Finally, although J1 and J2 are clearly much weaker that J3, one or both of them must still be finite. As shown in Fig.~\ref{bcto_ord_moment_visual}, these interactions connect the chains together. In the absence of interchain coupling, a one-dimension magnet cannot develop long-range magnetic order }. Since BaCuTe$_2$O$_6$ orders antiferromagnetically below $T_\text{N}$=6.3~K the presence of J1 and/or J2 is confirmed.

en | N/A | N/A | The fine, equivalent to about $2.72 billion, is the largest of its kind, and is the latest attack on tech companies doing business in the EU.
They've asked Google to stop the malpractice in the next 90 days or a further fine of 5% on the daily global turnover of their parent Alphabet will be charged as the punishment.
Commenting on the matter, the EU Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said; "Google has come up with many innovative products and services that have made a difference to our lives".
"When the Commission asks why some comparison websites have not done as well as others, we think it should consider the many sites that have grown in this period, including platforms like Amazon and eBay", says Kent Walker, Google's chief lawyer in a blogpost today.
Google has issued a statement saying that they disagree with the findings of the commission. This will affect other cases the Commission might build against the internet giant's various businesses, like Google Images. But the Commission's determination on this, and the way in which it appears to have arrived at its decision, make the chances of an appeal look slim.
However, one of the other original complainants - the British price comparison service Foundem - welcomed the announcement. "Google's illegal practices have allowed Google's comparison shopping service to make significant gains in traffic at the expense of its rivals and to the detriment of European consumers".
Google (GOOGL, Tech30) said in a statement that it tries to show ads in ways that are helpful for buyers and sellers.
The fine centers around Google's comparison shopping service - which has been known by names from Froogle and Google Product Search to Google Shopping - and its prominent display in related search results.

We have watched Google undermine competition in the United States and overseas. He adds that Google's data shows that users typically prefer links that lead them to the actual products they're searching for, rather than to websites where they have to conduct the search again.
"We find that this abuse has taken place since 2008, but also that it has taken place in every European country where Google Shopping has rolled out.... and that's reflected in the level of the fine", she said. Only further down the page do you see Google's actual search results for pages relevant to your query.
The $2.7 billion fine represents just over 2.5% of Google's revenue past year and Alphabet, Google's owner, had $92.4 billion in cash as of end of March.
"As a result, competitors were much less likely to be clicked on", she said.
In 2016, the European Union advanced its investigation into anticompetitive complaints about Android. and added a new investigation into the potential anti-competitiveness of Google's Ad Sense service.
At her press conference, Vestager insisted her action was "based on facts" rather than any prejudice the European Commission might have against USA tech companies. The company denies the allegations in both cases.
The commission has already concluded, preliminarily, that Google abused its dominant position in those two cases as well.
However, does Amazon go out and sue Google just because its search ads are below Google's own special search box for Google-partnered products?

By appearing as a peacemaker, he tried to distract from the growing problems in his own country, according to Mareike Le Pelley of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. “Many Ugandans do not remember the war years of the 1970s and 1980s. They were born after the civil war ended,” she said in 2016, at the time head of the foundation’s Uganda office. Young Ugandans, she said back then, were most concerned about the lack of jobs. Discontent is bound to increase, she said.
When Museveni lifted the age limit for presidents in 2017/18 with another constitutional amendment, paving the way for his election campaign, the tide firmly turned: the younger generation no longer saw Museveni, the only president they had ever known, as unavoidable. Since 2017, they have rallied behind 38-year-old Robert Kyagulanyi, a former pop star better known as Bobi Wine.
Kyagulanyi is not only Museveni’s main challenger in the elections — the presidential hopefulumbent president for human rights violations.

en | N/A | N/A | The example discussed here, famous Cahir Castle seen above, is located in County Tipperary, Ireland.
This is is one of the best preserved castles in Ireland and has featured in films such as Excalibur, and TV series such as the Tudors. Look familiar?
This Is What Real Life Looked Like At Cahir Castle In Medieval Times
Here comes the truth about medieval Irish castles.
Medieval times did not make for what we would call luxurious living. Not for most, not even for most of the rich and powerful. For all of society in medieval Ireland, standards of hygiene were poor and there was virtually no privacy.
The great hall at the medieval Irish castle in Cahir.
The outer courtyard of an Irish castle was a very busy place with lots of trades people doing jobs- for example fletchers making arrows, leatherworkers making saddles and bridles, a blacksmith shoeing horses, perhaps a cooper making barrels, and there were kitchens where meals for the workers were prepared. There were also storage areas for grain and firewood and there were, of course, stables.
Cahir Castle then has an inner courtyard, the super-protected area beyond the portcullis, was the main residential area for the family and their servants.
There are two residential halls in the main keep which were inhabited by the family and their servants, all living in a big hall together, imagine.
A total lack of privacy- but that was pretty much the standard at the time.
Residential hall at Cahir Castle.
Not only did they have to share the space with lots of other humans. The ground floor of the keep housed animals! Why? Animals gave off heat, and people liked to sleep in the rooms directly above where animals were kept to benefit from the heat produced. But animals of course, produced waste and smells. People simply had to live with that.
In fact, the entire castle and castle grounds were very smelly in medieval times.
People back then simply got used to living with this level of ‘smell-pollution’. They might have tried to improve it, maybe by using herbs, but basically, heavy smells were everyday to them.
Having grown up in this environment, you probably didn't even notice them. Realizing that just shows you how relative standards really are. Humans will always adapt.
What did they do with the human waste? They had a fascinating medieval waste system. You will have picked up by now that in researching the subject of medieval life, I have developed a small personal obsession with these toilets called garderobes.
The seats of the garderobes at Cahir Castle provided space for two people to use them at the same time. Not a bother to medieval castle residents to have another witness one of your most private moments. Not a concept we can easily understand today though, is it?!
One of the six garderobes at Cahir Castle. This one drained into the town.
Cahir Castle had six different types of garderobes, all emptying in different ways, let your fantasy play! Some of these emptied into the river Suir, or just onto the outside of the castle wall into the town. But a couple of the garderobes at Cahir Castle emptied into hollow spaces- pits, inside a tower of the castle building itself. The human waste was stored there. The smell that came from these would have been quite overbearing.
These pits of human waste were emptied out by hand only a couple of times a year. For the rest of the time, they let it build up. Why, you ask? Good question. They used the smell to sort of ‘disinfect’ their clothes by hanging them above the garderobe (hence the name), hoping that bugs and lice would dislike the smell enough to leave!
Human Waste As A Status Symbol
Imagine the beautifully whitewashed outside of your castle.
Now, if you dare, visualize the garderobe draining waste over the freshly painted surface. I know what you are thinking- not a good image. But not so for the medieval mind.
In medieval times, not only were people not bothered by having the brown stuff run down the castle walls, but in fact it was a bit of a status symbol.
You put your dirt on show in order to demonstrate to the competition just how much feasting was going on at your abode.
People didn’t bathe or even wash very often top to toe, maybe only once or twice a year. Believe it or not, this included the rich and powerful.
The height of hygiene was to wash one’s hands before a meal. Some believed that washing would damage the skin or that contact with water would lead to disease. They mightn’t have been too far off actually because the water supply was used for waste disposal quite freely. This was one of the reasons why so much ale was consumed in medieval times. Ale was safer to drink than water!

Cooking for big meals to be held in the banqueting hall of this Irish castle was done in a detached kitchen building over big fires. It involved an army of servants to do all the tasks required from starting the fire to serving the food and everything else in between.
They didn’t have large pots as such, but instead they used large pouches made from animal skin to cook dishes like pottage- a stew eaten by the commoner containing grain as well as some meat and vegetables. One of the lifestyle advantages of the upper classes was a varied diet. The upper classes ate a lot of meat, often spit-roasted, but they also had access to fruit and plenty of vegetables supplied to the castle by local farmers.

en | N/A | N/A | Designing the interior of your home without proper knowledge of the different types of interior design style can be hard. There are hundreds of interior design styles and hundreds of definitions for each style. Here the focus will be on the contemporary, traditional, transitional, cottage, and eclectic styles. A little research is all that's needed to find the right design style for you.
The focus is all on coziness and elegance when choosing the traditional design style. Furniture takes a more rounded form and takes on a symmetrical arrangement in rooms. Heavy drapes are used as window treatments and Persian-style rugs decorate the floors. The architecture in the room features rich moldings and strong attention to the woodwork. This classic and comfortable design style can only be described as beautiful.
Does the story of Snow White pop into your head when you think of cottage style? This is a style that is all about the casual and personal. The cottage style is closest to the rustic, farmhouse, coastal, country and shabby chic style. The décor in this style uses modest moldings and vintage furniture pieces that you can commonly find in thrift stores. Many of these pieces can be crafted by hand, so if you're on a tight budget this style may be for you.
Creating an Affordable Bedroom Retreat
Published By: Francis Guida - Saturday, April 2, 2016
There is nothing more relaxing than stepping into your hotel room on your first day of vacation. The colors, the smells, the amazing linens, scream relaxation.It all screams relaxation, from the colors to the smells to the amazing linens. It would be so nice to have that every day in your own room. With a few simple upgrades, having your own vacation style bedroom every day is possible. After a long day's work, you deserve your own bedroom retreat.
The difference between a room and a bedroom is a comfortable bed is a part of what makes the room amazing. If your mattress isn't comfortable, consider purchasing one for your comfort level. If a new mattress is something you can't afford, consider a mattress pad. There are many different kinds of mattress pads, like memory foam, and egg crate style and varying thickness to give you the comfort you are looking for without the expensive costs of entirely replacing a mattress.
Upgrading your linens is a great way to make your bed more relaxing. You don't have to spend a fortune for top-quality linens. The perfect time to shop for the best designs and brands for the bed is when seasons change, as this is when most stores have their best sales. Finally, you can drastically improve the look and feel of your bed by adding a headboard.
Lighting will set the mood for any room. If you have too much lighting, or the lighting is too bright, try making the switch to bedside lamps. You can create a warm, welcoming mood for the room by adding side tables that contrast with the style of the bed and placing a lamp on both sides of the bed.
If you aren't looking to add side tables, you can mount bedside lighting on the wall for a look that is more built-in. If your bedroom had overhead lighting, you can install a dimmer switch in order to help you set the mood yourself. By swapping out blinds for curtains, you can allow more natural light to enter the room which will give it a more natural feel.
If you are still not happy with your bedroom retreat after updating your bed and lighting, try applying a new coat of paint to the walls. Painting a room will drastically improve how it feels. Using a gray color can make the room feel inviting and warm. Accent the walls with vacation-style accessories such as a large mirror or boldly colored pictures and frames. A room without clutter is going to simply feel more personal and inviting.
Decorating Your Small Home
Published By: Francis Guida - Tuesday, March 22, 2016
When you live in a small home, it can sometimes be difficult to find an interior design style that fits both your design and personality needs. When it comes to your small home feeling spacious or crowded, storage, furniture, color schemes, and lighting are all factors that play a big part.
When the place you call home is on the small side, the littlest detail can make a room appear larger. For example, using light colors can make a room feel larger while darker colors can make it feel small. The size of a room can also be doubled by adding large mirrors to a wall. Mirrors are able to give the illusion of more space for an easy room upgrade.
Even the size of your furniture and accessories can alter the illusion of space, so choose wisely. Hanging drapes as close as you can to the molding can make the room look like it has high ceilings. Extending the curtain rods on either side of the windows by about four inches won't just allow lots of natural light into the room, but it will also make the window look wider. Remodeling your home to add a look of space isn't necessary, simply adjusting your décor can work wonders.
When it comes to maximizing space, the size of your furniture is important. You can use small side tables instead of a coffee table as it can take up a lot of needed space. Every inch of your home counts when it comes to furniture.
Think about using retro appliances. Not only are they smaller, but they have a timeless decorative charm about them. Adding built-in seating such as window seats in the kitchen and you can rid yourself of unused chairs. Try using lighting other than table lamps to eliminate the need for side tables. Wall mounted lighting that is painted the same color will be able to give a seamless effect without compromising space. Not only is furniture with multiple purposes great for space, but it can also maximize storage as many styles of ottomans feature a removable top for internal storage.
The storage possibilities are endless if you get creative and think outside the box. Use the space under the bed as storage by making or purchasing drawers on wheels, or cute containers to store blankets, shoes, and even out-of-season clothing, such as coats and sweaters. Many beds come equipped with drawers under the bed for storage as well.
Mount a shelf above the kitchen counters in order to store supplies off the counter while still keeping them within reach. Use curtains to create a makeshift closet if you are short on closet space in any room. Space under the stairs is also an excellent option for storage.
The size of your home shouldn't stop you from having a designed interior of your dreams. Anything is possible with the use of a little imagination and creativity. You only need to know where to look when it comes seeing the space in your home that you never knew you had.
Log Cabin Décor Tips
Published By: Francis Guida - Monday, March 14, 2016
Interior decorating can prove challenging for those not accustomed to the rustic look and feel of a traditional log cabin. The goal when decorating is to add colors, patterns, and accessories without compromising the log cabin's rustic feel, but how do you know what you should be looking for? The things you want to keep in mind when looking for décor pieces for your cabin are natural, warm, cozy, earthy, and rustic.
The colors and patterns you need to choose when adding accessories like rugs, blankets, throw pillows, drapes, sculptures, etc., need to be warm, earthy, and bold. This not only adds a personal touch to the cabin but can make parts of the room stand out while still maintaining the natural feel of a log cabin. A bold pattern rug on a hardwood floor with contrasting throw pillows can brighten up any room. Use a color wheel for reference if you need to. It's impossible to go wrong with earth tones, and contrasting colors such as mossy green and sunset orange can make an impression without taking away from a room's warm feel.
Décor Affects Room Size
Small rooms can still serve a big purpose. Make a room feel larger by using floor-to-ceiling drapes as window treatments. This can give the illusion of higher ceilings and give the room a larger feel without the need for a full remodel. An overly large room can also be made to feel smaller by adding oversized pieces of furniture to the room with dark color schemes.
Placing the bed in the center of the bedroom's main wall and decorating it using antique quilts and throw pillows can make it room's focal point. This can draw more attention to the bed as opposed to the overall size of the room. Don't over-clutter a room with furniture and accessories, as this can make it feel too small and cramped.
Accomplishing your decorating goals without the right accessories is tough. Stick to décor that contributes to the earthy, natural feel of a log cabin but also makes a room feel warm and welcoming. Try incorporating family heirlooms like an antique wooden chest into your décor in order to add a personal touch and save money. If they are well placed, antiques can prove charming and rustic.
Hand-carved wooden sculptures are also perfect accessories for any room in a cabin. Choose a theme for the room and use accessories that are associated with the theme. For instance, if the living room has a forest theme, you can use woodland-patterned pillows and throws on the furniture, animal sculptures, and lantern-style lighting on end tables to give it a more outdoorsy feel.
The interior design of your log cabin should not only reflect the natural feel of a cabin but should be a reflection of you. There's no need to be afraid when it comes to decorating. There isn't anything wrong with trying new things. No part of interior design is ever going to be permanent; so if you do something you aren't in love with, you can always change it. It's no big deal.

One of the top needs and wants from home buyers over the last century has been making homes eco-friendly and safe. There are so many different ways to make a home more “green" today, and it's also possible to save money because of these upgrades. Who wouldn't love that? Not all upgrades are created equal, some are going to be worth your time and some simply aren't. Here we'll take a look at some safe bets for adding some social awareness to your home.
For those looking to save money on their power bill, and homebuilders, solar panels have become one of the most sought-after materials. Though the initial cost of solar panels can be a bit overwhelming, the tax exemptions and lowered cost of electricity are both huge perks when it comes to making your home more eco-friendly. Not only do you power your own home with solar panels, but you also get to limit your reliance on the power company and generate additional power for the community. It really is a win for everyone involved (well, maybe not the power company).
Did you know that if you upgrade your old appliances to the modern, energy-efficient versions, you can get tax rebates at the end of the year? It's true! In order to get everyone thinking about lowering their carbon footprint, the government has put incentives in place that will help ease everyone into products that are better for the environment and your wallet. Any place selling appliances is going to have a great selection to choose from, but you need to make sure you ask which will qualify for the rebate if it's a factor in your decision to upgrade, as not every unit will apply.
The sun should be one of the biggest light sources in your home. Making use of the sun in your home can cut costs on indoor lighting and make your home feel more open and spacious. Overhead sunroofs and big windows can really end up brightening up your day in the process. However, not all windows will do, if you live in a warm or cold climate, you know that windows transmit varying temperatures. There are special coatings that are used on energy-efficient windows so that they can keep you cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Do your research and know your options, don't be afraid to get a consultation and ask questions. Windows last a long time in a home, so you want to make sure to choose right them the first time so that you don't replace them year after year.
Just like the slogan says, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." By recycling, you are easily and efficiently making sure that you are doing your part for the environment. Check with your local trash collection company to see if they offer a recycling plan. There are some that even offer perks for taking part in the program. These last few years, reusing items around the home for other purposes has become a sort of movement. The best place to look for advice on how to reuse things that you may have otherwise thrown away is by going online and looking at some repurposing blogs and Pinterest posts for ideas.
How to Stage Your Bungalow Home for a Showing
Published By: Francis Guida - Thursday, February 25, 2016
So, you want to sell the beautiful bungalow home you have an are looking to get the most out of it. You obviously want potential buyers to see all the love, creativity and hard work you poured into your home, but judging a home based on a walk-through can be a little intimidating and overwhelming for people.
What are some of the things buyers look at, and like, when they see a home? Let's look at some of the things that sellers and realtors say they notice when they walk potential buyers through a home.
Bathrooms and kitchens are often the priorities that potential buyers want to see in a home. A great bathroom, but an awful kitchen, or vice versa, can really break a sale. When setting up the kitchen, the less on the counter, the better. Buyers want to be able to visualize themselves in your home, and the last thing you want to do is convince them there's no room for them or their stuff. You want to do the same in the bathroom. You're trying to show them the functionality and spaciousness of both of these rooms, so when they walk in the rooms need to feel both homey and roomy, and ready to be filled with their items.
When guests enter your home, they should feel welcome and at ease. No one wants an animal jumping on them as they enter, or to be assaulted by harsh smells and chemicals. If you want to make a home smell nice you should bake a fresh batch of cookies or bread in order to fill the home with some cozy and comforting smells that everyone can enjoy. And make sure to share those cookies with your visitors if you're really going for the hard sale. The power of free sweets isn't something to take lightly.
While you might like neon orange and pink, visitors may not like them. It's true that paint colors are easily changed, but it's been proven that if the colors in your home are too harsh, it can turn a buyer off completely. People aren't always able to visualize a space and make it their own in their mind, so if you tone down any wild colors beforehand you'll end up making the selling process even easier.
The front of your home can make or break a sale, as buyers will often decide on whether or not to buy a home within the first few minutes. When trying to sell your home, a little TLC for the exterior of your home and landscaping will always be a safe bet. It isn't expensive and has a huge impact on adding value to your home. Simply painting the door, adding plants, and pressure washing the driveway will leap you ahead of most of your neighbors and will make your home stand out above the rest. |

It was a trillion dollar bill that he was supposed to deliver to Europe after WWII to help them rebuild, but he instead kept it for himself. When the FBI got too close he, Homer and Smithers fled to Cuba to start a new country only to discover there already was one. Fidel asks to see the bill, presumably out of curiosity. When Burns asks to have it back Fidel tells him, “Have what back?” and the three of them end up on a raft to Miami.
While I’m here: Can anyone explain how injecting new money into the economy doesn’t effect inflation? Surely that breaks the finance equivalent of Newton’s 3rd law?
If not then they might as well make it 100 billion.
The coin in question isn’t going to enter the economy so no, it won’t affect inflation. Basically, Congress has imposed an arbitrary debt limit on itself and the proposal is to print a bunch of money (equivalent to printing a bunch of treasury bills) and then hold it in a bank vault just to be able to say, “Our assets are worth more than our debt so the debt limit can be ignored.”
It’s all theater. The debt limit isn’t a real limit and the trillion dollar coin isn’t real money. The fake currency cancels out the fake debt limit to allow the economy to function (?) as it did before this “crisis”.
The money has already been injected. Congress has passed the spending, just not the borrowing to pay for the spending. All those SS checks, all those submarines, all the flags on coffins, the checks are already out in the wild. The debt ceiling, like the fiscal cliff, is a manufactured crisis.
Yes the stock market would lose a few points if this happens because as the last five years have shown us, austerity economists and investment bankers are behaving like, and I use the technical term, “selfish crybabies”. They favor economic policies that benefit only a shortsighted creditors |

en | N/A | N/A | Josef Mysliveček was born near Prague. He was a twin. His father was a miller who had quite a lot of money. After he left school he became a miller in the family business. He also studied music. He had already been a chorister in the choir of St Michal’s church where Felix Benda was choirmaster. From 1760 he studied counterpoint with František Habermann and organ with Josef Seger. He started to compose. He wrote six sinfonias which were called after the first six months of the year (in the Czech language the months have names which are about the seasons).
Mysliveček stayed in Italy for the rest of his life. He only revisited Prague once (in 1767-68). Several of his operas were performed there. He also went to Vienna in 1773 and Munich from 1776-1778. He composed operas for several Italian theatres. He met Mozart in Bologna in 1770. Mozart was only 14 at the time. He was good friends with the Mozart family until 1778 when the Mozarts broke off their friendship because Mysliveček promised, but then did not arrange for Mozart to write an opera for the theatre in Naples.
Mysliveček had many sexual relationships during his life, although we do not know the names of his lovers. In the end he became ill with syphilis. He was very ill during the last part of his life. His face became a very strange shape, apparently because he was operated on by a bad surgeon. Mozart was very upset when he saw him looking so ill.
A lot of his music sounds like some of the early works of Mozart. Mozart, in return, uses several musical themes from compositions by Mysliveček. He also made an arrangement of an operatic aria by Mysliveček's: "Il caro mio bene". Mozart changed the words and wrote "Ridente la calma," KV 152 (K⁶ 210a) for soprano with piano accompaniment.
He wrote twenty-six opera seria, more than any other composer at that time. They are full of da capo arias in which the singers can show off their technique. His orchestral music does not sound Czech, it is much more Italian in style. However, some of his chamber music has some Czech folk tunes.

The market for Beatles memorabilia is lucrative A leather collar worn by John Lennon during the late 1960s has fetched £117,250 at auction - nearly eight times its expected sale price.
A signed copy of a management deal involving the Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein also smashed its estimate, reaching £122,850.
A Vox Kensington guitar used by Lennon and George Harrison went for £100,000. The sale at Christie's in London was the most successful pop auction in the company's history, making £788,643.
The Beatles management deal memorabilia is dated 1 October 1962 - a period at the beginnings of the group's recording career. Estimated to fetch no more than £35,000, it was bought by a British private collector for more than three times that amount.
The Lennon neckwear, which he wore throughout 1967 and 1968, went to a private collector in the US.

Figuring is an exploration into 'layered realities' - the perception and experience of more than one 'reality'. It will focus on investigating the perceptual gap between what is seen and what is felt within the both the non-virtual and the virtual environment. By exploring how bodies orient and navigate across both physical and virtual spaces, we will understand how conventions of movement, behaviour, and interaction operate in these layered realities.
Figuring is comprised of a diverse team of collaborators led by dance artist and creative director for the project Lisa May Thomas.
Lisa is exploring the play of String Figures to test structures as collective communicational devices and from which to devise convergences (not a literal mapping or mimicking) between real and virtual environments. String Figures have evolved as a generational mechanism for telling stories through mediated touch, as a tacit form of non-verbal communication that operates to pass down information, values, etc.
More generally, this research will take into consideration issues of proprioception, ways of knowing the body, visual dominance, felt dominance, dance practices, blindfold practices, transfer of body ownership, a scale of embodiment, and the notion that movement (not visual versimilitude) is key to embodied agency.

Hello, it is currently Wednesday, 03 August 2016, 22:22 and I’m using a Samsung S4 Android Lollipop device. The TutuApp Pokemon Go was working fine since last week Friday (when I first downloaded the app) but about 3 hours ago, the App crashed, and I uninstall and reinstalled the app as usual, but after my Login with my PTC account, there is a RED BANNER on to of the screen that states, “A new version of Pokemon Go is available. Would you like to update now?”. and in the middle of the screen there is a WHITE BLOCK with the words, “Update to continue…” and a GREEN BUTTON in the middle that says, “Ok”. When I press the OK green button, it requests me to Update the ORIGINAL PlayStore APP. Which obviously is NOT the same as the TutuApp one. Any Advice? Do you think TutuApp will have an Updated 0.31.0 Version ? Thank you in advance.

Posted by Andrew Juge on Apr 3, 2013 16:22
The Saintsop at the signing of Keenan Lewis to upgrade their corners. The run they made at both Nnamdi Asomugha and Tracy Porter suggests another veteran corner was and is still in their plans. Unfortunately neither player will end up in New Orleans as they inked deals with other destinations in close succession this week. Porter signed a 1 year $2.5 milion deal with the Raiders, and Asomugha signed a 1 year $3 million deal with the 49ers. That tells me the Saints offered both of these guys less money than that, most likely around $1.5 million per year, similar to the money that Victor Butler made.
I don't really see Charles Woodson or Antoine Winfield taking money that low, but you never know how the opportunity to win late in your career will motivate a player to settle for lowball cash. The good news is there is still a massive amount of veteran corners out there with tons of exeperience and some quality. Right now it's a buyer's market, and the Saints will find someone at a nice price that will help them. Don't believe me? Consider these names:

President Hosni Mubarak has ruled Egypt with dictatorial powers for 29 years but is ill and not expected to11. Retired officers, political activists and other analysts here say that the military’s show of force with the striking civilian workers was part of a concerted effort to put the military’s stamp on the choice of the next president.
To enhance their power and prestige, the armed forces cloak themselves in a veil of secrecy, answering directly to the president, not the prime minister or cabinet. They have ignored calls in Parliament for budget transparency. The names of the general officers are not published, nor is the military’s size, which is considered a state secret (observers estimate the ranks at 300,000 to 400,000). “T”“We do .”

General Said, the military adviser to the governmentill works closely with the defense establishment. He says that he believes a military coup is “not an option,” but that he thinks that President Mubarak’s successor, whether Gamal Mubarak or someone else, will have to convince the military that its position in the Egyptian power structure will remain secure.
And that is likely to include a place in the business affairs of the country. Military Factory 99, for example, produces a variety of consumer goods — stainless steel pots and pans, fire extinguishers, scales, cutlery — in addition to its primary function of forging metal components for heavy ammunition.
In the end, the military court dealt leniently with the strikers. After a quick trial, three were acquitted and the five others received suspended sentences.
But the military had made its point. “There are no labor strikes in military society,” General Sowilam said. “If they don’”Co.?

en | N/A | N/A | I's Irish roots, has delved into the Vice President's family tree and unearthed a few surprises's' "Catherine Eugenia"'s a lot of history tucked into her first name.
Biden's quintessentially, so it seems appropriate to focus on the Finnegan and Blewitt branches that played such a strong role in shaping who he would become.
I've's
The Blewitts' pride in their heritage can be seen in Edward's prominence is (for which he chaired Scranton's 1897 St. Patrick's Day Parade), the Irish American Association (founded at his suggestion and now known as Th), and the Mayo Men's Benevolent, Social, Patriotic and Literary Association.
Barack Obama's Kearney forebears came to America from the town of Moneygall, in Co. Offaly, a fact widely known since the President's pint-in-a-pub visit to his ancestral hometown, and it's interesting to note the similarity to the Vice President's family migration. In the case of Biden's Finnegan line, the immigrant was Owen, his great-great-grandfather, and just as with Obama's Kearneys, the patriarch came to America before the rest of his family. In fact, tor. Curiously, both men were shoemakers.
Owen'n't sprint dNew York. It was Owen and Jane's son James who stayed the closest to home, and census records provide a hint as to why this might have been. Two of the four records that include him state that he was blind. This inconsistency suggests that while he may not have been completely blind, he probably had a severe vision problem of some sort, which would explain why he didn't serve in the Civil War or follow the family's preferred occupation of shoemaker. Instead, he became a musician.
Ambrose, the future grandfather who would provide both fodder and inspiration for Biden, had a rough start in life, with his mother passing away before his second birthday and his father dying when he was ten. Just two days before his death, James wrote a will leaving his prized violin to Ambrose, a snippet of information that revealed that he had literally been a blind fiddler.
He also instructed that his house be held a year before selling, and that the "rent or income of my property . . . be paid . . . to the St. Patrick's Orphanage of Scranton, PA until said real estate is legally disposed of or sold." The orphanage in question was opened shortly after the Finnegans arrived in Scranton, and made national news in 1881 when 17 children died in a fire. The local community rallied to rebuild, and the Finnegans were among those who supported the effort, but knowing that James was aware that he would soon be leaving his youngest an orphan makes this final bequest all the more poignant.
It was on June 1, 1909 that the Finnegan and Blewitt families finally linked destinies, when Ambrose Joseph Finnegan married Geraldine Catherine Blewitt. Their first born was a honeymoon baby, which may be what motivated the freshly minted husband and father to put in a season as a census enumerator in 1910. As a result, should the Vice President ever wish to see a sample of his grandfather's handwriting, all he has to do is scan the pages of the 1910 federal census for Dunmore Borough in Lackawanna County.
As with the immigrant Finnegans, Ambrose and Geraldine also sacrificed a son to war when Second Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan, Jr. was killed in May 1944. The plane he was flying has never been located, so he is considered MIA/KIA. Having assisted the Army and JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command) for 14 years with repatriation efforts to identify s, it was immediately apparent to me that should his uncle's plane or remains ever be recovered, Vice President Biden would be eligible to provide a DNA reference sample to help in the process, and given his family's proud military history, I suspect he would.
Little Joey Biden made his entrance the year after Ambrose and Geraldine's daughter, Jean, married Joseph Biden, making him a fifth-generation Finnegan in the United States, but just where in Ireland did they come from?
Tffith's Valuation n "Owen Finegan" and "Jean Bail" (likely a distortion of Boyle as Griffith's Valuation shows no Bail families).
I first began poking into Joe Biden's past before he became Vice President, and have shared bits and pieces of my discoveries online over the years. Even so, it caught me by surprise when I answered the phone one day last summer to hear the caller say, "This is Joe Biden. Vice President Joe Biden." That he troubled to explain who he is may well be a reflection of the values he inherited from Grandpa Finnegan and others, including his great-aunt Gertrude, who wound up at the heart of our conversation that day. Gertie, it turns out, gave terrific back rubs, made the best rice pudding you ever tasted, and frequently reminded Joey to be proud of his Irish heritage. Rest assured he is, Aunt Gertie, and I think it's safe to say the Irish are proud of Joey, too.
It'
in America being Irish was special. And it wasn't just Irish Americans who seemed to appreciate my Irish culture and heritage, it came from many different quarters.
This issue, then, is one of remembering, and each story touches on our history: From medieval Ireland when monks lived in beehive huts on Skellig Michael (which are amazingly well preserved), to the great starvation that began in 1845, to the founding of the U.S. Friendly Sons of St. Patrick's, the benevolent society that helped ease the plight of poor Irish immigrants.
A story on Irish-American sculptor James Kelly calls to mind the many Irish who died fighting in the Civil War, while the tale of Xavier H.S.'s Knights winning the Catholic High School Football League trophy just weeks after 11 Knights were displaced by Superstorm Sandy, reminds us of the part Catholic education played in the Irish American story.
Though our history is layered with tragedy, in our Irish way we choose to celebrate life.
The celebrations will include the opening of the new visitors' center at the Kennedy homestead; a tree planting in the JFK Arboretum by former Ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith in memory of her brother Senator Ted Kennedy; and on June 22nd, Caroline Kennedy will light an eternal flame in front of the Dunbrody Famine Ship & Irish Emigration Experience where our Irish America Hall of Fame has a physical presence.
Fittingly, this flame, taken from the eternal flame in Arlington Cemetery, will be called the Emigrants' Flame.
It would seem that all our struggles – invasions, starvations, emigrations, wars, discrimination, and loss of loved ones – have left us with an empathy for others. That is a legacy we can be truly proud of. We see that empathy shining in generations of Kennedys, in the benevolence of Joe Biden's great-grandfather, and in the good works carried out today by our Hall of Fame inductees before and making clear that action will be taken to prevent another Sandy Hook.
Edward F. Blewitt, his g. that shows he was one of the founding members.
Like many from the western part of Ireland, Biden's Finnegan relatives were Gaelic speakers, and family lore has it that his great-grandmother Finnegan used to read the letters from home for those who could not and she'd write back in Gaelic for them.
As for how his Irish roots have shaped his life, he stated, "They've actually been critical to my career. The Irish ethic of loyalty is important, that you have an obligation to help if you can, that you should speak up when you see what you consider to be an injustice, and that public service is an honorable profession. In my family, politics wasn'g.
"In that same interview, Biden talked about growing up in Scranton, in what he described as " The centerpiece of life in Scranton was the church, the nuns, the priest, the monsignor," he recalled.
His first Irish memories are of encountering his Aunt Gertie on visits to his grandparents' house.
"I'd go upstairs and lie on the bed and she'd come and scratch my back and say, 'ou?' She had never seen the Black and Tans, she had no notion of them, but she could recite chapter and verse about them.

Over the years, Brian has.
Over 50 years ago, Brian bec in 1963 by then-President John F. Kennedy and Ireland's President Eamon de Valera.
As director, Brian had some major achievements. He was the leading fundraiser behind the effort to restore the world famous Marsh's Library at St. Patrick's Close in Dublin, the oldest public library in Ireland. He also founded an American Law Library at University College, Cork in honor of his late father, the Hon. John J. Burns.
"I frankly had envied, in a constructive way, the manner in which six million Jewish people were able to raise billions of dollars each year for the young State of Israel, whereas, by contrast, hundreds of disparate Irish organizations were doing cumulatively a very tiny bit for Ireland even though there were over 40 million of us," he recalled recently.
He determined to arrange a merger between the American Irish Foundation and the newly minted Ireland Fund, formed in the early 1980s by Dan Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Tony O'Reilly, the Irish-born businessman who would become chairman of Heinz.'s instincts were rightins a lifetime trustee of the organization.
In addition to marking this historic merger, 1986 was also a memorable year in that Brian established in honor of his father, who had enjoyed a spectacular career in law before his untimely death in 1957.
John J. was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 1, 1901. He attended Harvard Law School, and in 1931, one day shy of his 30th birthday,. He went on to become part of one of the first New Deal agencies of the Roosevelt administration, and served as Amb. Joseph Kennedy's attorney and closest adviser, while carrying on a successful law practice.
In that tradition, Brian served as a key trustee to the Joseph P. Kennedy Trust from 1998-2010, and was one of the few non-family contributors to David Nasaw's sweeping new biography of Joseph P. Kennedy, The Patriarch.

Devlin was born in Brooklyn in 1941 to Norma Hall Devlin and John M. Devlin, whose grandfather James Devlin immigrated to the U.S. from County Donegal in 1848. John Devlin's story is a remarkable one. Born in Brooklyn in 1911, he grew up during the Depression, and, as a result, did not have much of a formal education. In a pivotal turn of luck, he found work as a clerk for an insurance firm in the Chrysler Building, and from there his career took off. The family eventually moved to Schenectady, New York, where Bob grew up with three brothers and one sister, and where their father became chairman and CEO of Ter Bush and Powell, then one of the largest insurance agencies between New York and Chicago.
hek. In 1977 he joined American General and spent three years in California, then five and a half in Nashville before moving to their Houston headquarters in 1986, as president and CEO of American General Life. By 1993, he had been elected vice chairmannd in 1995 he became the company's president and CEO. One year later, he was made chairman.
From 1995 – 2001, Devlin helmed what would become, by his final year in charg. During his tenure, American General's assets grew from $46 billion to over $150 billion, and its market capitalization rose from $7 billion to $24 billion. The company was acquired by the American International Group Inc. in August of 2001, and Devlin left upon the merger's completion.
Devlin's parents taught him to "'ran," and that's exactly what Bob has done – not only throughout his career, but also his philanthropic work.
Bob became involved in the non-profit arena from an early age, serving on the board of and the YMCA boards in Sacramento and Nashville. After moving to Houston, he and Kate worked with the Holocaust Museum there, hosting the annual gala at which then-Secretary of State Colin Powell was honored with the Lyndon B. Johnson Moral Courage award. Together Bob and Kate wereand Devlin also served on the board of trustees of the Houston Fine Arts Museum.
For ten years, Bob was a member of the board of Colin Powell's America's Promise initiative. M.
A trustee of his alma mater, Tulane, Devlin was chairman of the university'Michael and Matthew both graduated – in 1988 and 1990, respectively – and is now a trustee associate. In 2004, he and Katear.
A significant number of the Devlins' philanthropic projects have been connected to Bob's Irish roots. Growing up, he recently explained, he was aware, through his parents, of the richness of his Irish ancestry, but the emphasis at the time wasn't on where you came from, it was on striving to be American. While many Irish Americans come to treasure their heritage through stories and traditions handed down generation to generation, Devlin's interest in Ireland was piqued when the family spent Christmas there in 1984, and was further enhanced when his two sons attended Boston College. Matt then studied at University College Galway in Ireland during his junior year. There he met Erin Conroy, a young Irish American woman from Marquette University who was also studying abroad. Married with three sons, they now live in Toronto, where Matt is the TV sportscaster for the Toronto Raptors.
Michael, Matt and Erin helped kindle in Devlin a deep interest in his Irish heritage, which has become a major part of his life. As co-chair of the American Irish Historical Society (a position he shared with Liam Neeson), Devlin, along with President General Dr. Kevin Cahill, put in place the long-term strategic plan to save the AIHS's townhouse, the finest Irish one in the U.S., and regenerate the society. Devlin's Irish roots were recognized in 1999 when he was awardednts, and in 2001 when he received the AIHS's Gold Medal.
The Devlins' visits to Ireland often find them in Killybegs, Co. Donegal, where they feel blessed to love a family, Samantha, Colum and their daughters Kaitlin and Shonaugh, as their own. The Devlins have supported the restoration of St. Mary's, a church in Killybegs, and Paul Newman's , which provides a fun, nurturt''s his business to meet and greet, behind the scenes he is just as likely to be helping out someone or some group that needs a hand.
John was raised in the hotel business, the second eldest of five children of Paddy and Eithne Fitzpatrick who owned Killiney Castle Hotel in Co. Dublin, Silver Spring Cork and Fitzpatrick's Shamrock Hotel in Bunratty, Co. Clare. But he did not have his career handed to him on a plate. He began by mowing the lawn at Killiney Castle during the summers when he was a teenager. Eventually, and from there onto washing glasses and, eventually, when he was 17, to mixing
"Dad was always tough on us. He said, 'if you want to have money you have to work for it,'" John recalled in an interview with Irish America. But even back then as a teenager, his favorite part of the job was meeting customers.
Determined to make his own way, and feeling that he had learned all he could in Ireland, he enrolled at the University of Las Vegas' prestigious hotel management course. From there, he expanded his knowledge by working at two Chicago hotels before returning to Ireland.
But the U.S. was never far from his mind. In 1990, with his father's blessing, hechoosing New York and purchasing a building at 57th Street and Lexington Avenue. To save money, he lived in the building as he oversaw its renovation.
Fitzpatrick's Manhattan opened its doors in December 1991 and very quickly became the Irish hotel in New York. Albert Reynolds, who was then Taoiseach, stayed there. Then Mary Robinson, who at the time was President of Ireland, paid a visit. Soon it became the de rigueur for visiting Irish heads of state and celebrities, including Gregory Peck, to choose Fitzpatrick's. Seven years later, John opened another New York hotel, Fitzpatrick's Grand Central, on 44th Street.
"John is know to be a warm and gracious host. He used these skills to achieve success as a hotelier and, perhaps more importantly, to reach out to all sides in the Peace Process. There were no 'Peace Walls' needed in the lobby bar of John's hotel. Late nights brought the sounds of friendship and understanding from all quarters," said Tom Moran, chairman and CEO of Mutual of America, who himself, w''d.
John was very close to his mother, Eithne, a former Miss Ireland, she worked alongside her husband, using her great eye for detail and interior design as they built their hotel business. When she passed away in 1994, John wanted to make sure she was remembered, so he founded The Eithne Fitzpatrick Memorial Fund in her honor. With the death of his father in 2001, the fund became the Eithne and Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Fund. The fund's mission is to " in need." Among its current projects are the Integrated Education Fund, which strives to integrate the education system in Northern Ireland, and the Corrymeela Community, which promotes reconciliation across social, religious, and political divides in the North.
In 2011, Fitzpatrick participated in RTÉ'. For the first time in 20 years, the man who describes himself as "married to his work" was without his Blackberry as he spent eight days in Muirhevnamor pretending to film a documentary and getting to know the people in the housing estate. In the end, he ga'Haforged lasting bonds with a number of the community members. Through Cuidigh Linn, he met an elderly couple, Tim and Diane, both of whom are in wheelchairs. After the show, he assisted in lobbying the local government to provide them with a wheelchair-accessible house, which they have since moved into. One boy from the Craobh Rua program, Joel Maguire, is a few steps closer to achieving his dream of becoming a singer, thanks to lessons and encouragement from John.
FoII awarded him an OBE in 2008. In 2010, he was named Irish American of the Year by this magazine. In 2011, Queen's University Belfast presented him with an honorary Doctorate of Science in Economicsnd as we go to press we learn that John has been named Chairman of The American Ireland Fund, which to date has raised $430 million for projects that promote peace and culture in Ireland.

He is, however, an unlikely Irish hero. Morrison was raised as a Lutheran in Northport, Long Island by Dorothea and George Morrison, adopted parents of German and Scots-Irish heritage. He took an interest in chemistry from an early age, graduating from MIT in three years and then pursuing ahis work rallying the graduate student body sparked his interest in social justice, and in a turn of pace he applied and was accepted to Yale Law School, graduating in 1973. The bonds he forged with some of his classmates, including a couple named Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham, would later prove important. He joined the New Haven Legal Assistance Association, which specialized in providing legal aid to New Haven's poor, and quickly rose to become its executive director in 1976.
Morrison entered politics in 1982, winning the Democratic primary and a grass roots campaign to represent Connecticut's third congressional district. His eight years in the House of Representatives were marked by a fierce dedication to domestic social issues and international human rights. In addition to serving on the House Banking Committee, House Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Children, Youth and Families, he fought harthe poor, becoming an expert in the field. His human rights involvement took him to Cuba, Chile, South Africa, Nicaragua and Northern Ireland.
Morrison was introduced to the Irish cause in 1983, during his Freshman term in congress. He initially joined the Friends of Ireland, a group that at the time included Tip O'Neill and Ted Kennedy, but after two years he accepted the invitation of Richard Lawlor, then vice-chairman of Irish Northern Aid (Noraid), to join the Ad Hoc Committee on Irish Affairs. In 1887, he took that first trip to Ireland, visiting Dublin and Belfast. He met with Irish and British officials, and with Sinn Féin's leader Gerry Adams – with whom, at that point, the American government still refused to communicate. His commitment, which would
However, Morrison first gained notoriety in the Irish-American community not for his role in making Northern Ireland a priority in Washington, but for his work on immigration reform. During his last term in Congress, Morrison served as chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee. That year, he authored one of the most comprehensive revisions to immigration law of the 20th century, and with the help of his allies, including Senator Ted Kennedy, saw it through to legislation.
The Immigration Reform Act of 1990 created new opportunities for skilled workers and introduced the Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery. It increased by 200,000 the total visas to be granted each year, and also saw a certain number allotted to applicants from countries that had been out of favor since the immigration reforms of 1965, including 48,000 specifically for the Irish. These visas soon became know as the Morrison visas, and their author's name became synonymous with the new lives they granted to so many.
In addition to representing and rallying the Irish-American contingent in support of Clinton, Morrison advised and briefed him on Northern Ireland. Once in office, the new president followed through on his promise to devote attention to the struggle for peace.

Traveling frequently to Ireland and the North, the former congressman became one of the Americans for a New Irish Agenda (ANIA), a group that included publisher Niall O'Dowd and fellow Hall of Fame honorees Chuck Feeney and Bill Flynn.

In fact, 2012 saw Ireland fall one place behind its 2011 ranking.
Ireland's high ranking was attributed to the country's high performance in the areas of movement of capital and finance, and cultural integration, and to its disproportionately high level of foreign direct investment. Ernst and Young forecasted that Ireland will maintain its overall ranking until at least 2015, due to continued projected growth in trade and capital – good news as Ireland continues to rebuild its economy.

The NKp46 NKCE technology targetsnd a tumor antigen on cancer cells. New preclinical data show that these NKp46 NKCEs are more potent in vitro and in vivo than clinical therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting the same tumor antigen and have not displayed off-target effects. Additionally, we observed that co-engagement of NKp46 synergized with CD16 to potentiate both tumor cell lysis and NK cell activation.

Sounds like more alone training is required, back to the basics. As you know, there are other tools to use as well to 'calm' your pup, like DAP diffusers, some use Melatonin...
You'd asked for basics for alone training.....

He is not destructive and there are no accidents so I am thankful for that. I don't make a big deal when I leave or come home, I read Greyhounds for Dummies prior to his arrival as well as Cesar Milan's books.

Your brain needs a burst of B vitamins to kick-start its morning production of the energizing brain chemical dopamine. No wonder British researchers say B vitamin shortfalls double your risk of feeling foggy, unfocused and sluggish! Taking a basic B-complex vitamin (like Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex) with a vitamin B–rich breakfast of eggs can quickly boost B stores, increasing morning energy and productivity by 58 percent. Also smart: Season your eggs with a half teaspoon of salt. Sodium in salt helps the body correct overnight dehydration to boost energy levels for up to four hours at a stretch.
Doze off after dinner?
Ozone levels are low in the morning and rise throughout the day, peaking around 6pm. This air pollutant can irritate the tissues lining your lungs, hindering oxygen uptake and triggering dinnertime fatigue. To keep your ozone-level exposure low, decorate rooms that you frequent most with plants such as Boston ferns or English ivy. NASA scientists say these natural air purifiers quickly mop up fatigue-triggering pollutants from the environment, so you don’t feel groggy too early. |

title: "User-Defined Filter User-Defined Filter module to define a custom filterr.
# User-Defined Filter
*Creates a custom finite or infinite impulse response filter*
This article describes how to use the **User-Defined F a custom filter by with coefficients that you specify.
This module is particularly useful for applying a set of previously derived filter coefficients to your data.
## How to configure User-Defined Filter
1. Add the **User-Defined Filter** 2. In the **Properties** pane, choose a type of filter: FIR filter, or IIR filter.
3. Provide the coefficients to apply in the filter. The requirements for the coefficients differ depending on whether you choose a FIR filter or an IIR filter.
- For a FIR filter, you specify a vector of feed-forward coefficients. The length of the vector determines the filter's order. A FIR filter is effectively a moving average, so the configuration values apply a moving average to filter a data sequence.
- For an IIR filter, you apply custom feed-forward and feed-backward coefficients. See the [Examples](#bkmk_Examples) section for some tips.
3. Connect the filter to [Apply Filter](apply-filter.md), and connect a dataset.
4. Run the experiment.
The specified transformations are applied to the selected numeric columns only when you run the experiment using [Apply Filter](apply-filter.md).
## <a name="bkmk_Examples"></a> Examples
For more examp: Demonstrates all filter types. The example uses an engineered waveform dataset to more easily illustrate the effects of the different filters.
### FIR filter example: Exponential weighted moving average
For an exponentially weighted moving average, all coefficients are less than one and the sum of all coefficients equals one. Therefore, the variance of the weighted average will always be less than the input values.
For example, for a FIR filter to approximate an exponentially weighted moving average (WMA), you would supply a comma-separated list of coefficients for the value for the feed-forward parameter:
8 (Deslauriers-Dubuc interpolation)
This FIR filter approximates a triangularly weighted moving average (WMA). You define the coefficients by supplying a comma-separated series of values for the feed-forward parameters, such as these:
0.0625, 0.0625, 0.2500, 0.3750, 0.2500, 0.0625
The values used in this custom FIR filter represent a vector of feed-forward coefficients obtained by using the Deslauriers-D |

Picadilly Ridge runs through here, along with other rivers, however, nothing on the land itself. The property sits on top of a ridge with large mature trees all around but there is plenty of flat land to build, camp, and park. The views up here are epic and bordering the area is the National Forest, the Haight Mountains, and Alder Creek Meadows. As you can see in the scanned map in the photo album below, there is a description and scanned actual photos of the land in the picture album link.
The land comes with deeded access to 4 local lakes: Duck Lake, Lake of the Woods, Indian Lake, and Lake Lure. A local amenity is a stocked lake with rainbow trout and of course, peaks all over to conquer. You can build, camp or park an RV. There is no power or electricity out here because it is so remote and secluded. There is road access to the property off of a US Forest Service Road (USFS 42 N14).
This property does not have cell connection for a reason. It is someplace to get outdoors, hike, fish, snowshoe, 4 wheel, and enjoy nature! There are trails to bike and explore for days in this area. You will find yourself immersed in wildlife and mature trees everywhere. Personally, I think this is a wonderful place for camping or a small cabin to get away.

en | N/A | N/A | Sciatica is nerve pain that begins in the hip and deep in the buttocks and travels down the leg. The largest nerve that supplies the lower body is the sciatica nerve. It comes off the lower spinal cord (lumbar-sacral nerve roots) and dives behind an opening (obturator canal) in the pelvic bone before it branches off to supply the upper and lower legs and the feet.
The pain from sciatica comes from pressure and swelling that results in the nerve pressing against the bones of the pelvis or spinal column. Sciatica can caus and feet.
Muscles that get pinched such as the piriformis muscle and internal obturator muscle can lead to the symptoms of sciatica. This muscle near the hip can be injured or damaged which causes swelling that leads to pain.
TrRspecifically describes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in any body area or muscle as a result of their respective nerve roots being compressed or injured. This can include a Herniated Disc, Spinal Stenosis or other lower spinal condition. The number of nerve roots involved varies but can involve both sides of the body or just one side.
1. The first cause of sciatica is the result of a Herniated Disc. The intervertebral disc can become herniated as a result of being ruptured, bulging, or tornn that area of the body that the nerve supplies will experience symptoms such as pain or throbbing. Most disc ruptures occur in a person who is in their 30s or 40s when the disc contents are a jelly-like substance.
2. The second cause is Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) as a result of aging and excessive micromotion of the spine over time. Bone spurs contribute as well.
3. Isthmic Spondylolisthesis is a result of a small stress fracture that allows one disc to slip forward over another disc which can also pinch a nerve. As the spinal canal narrows as we age and arthritis sets in, sciatica can occur.
4.of the buttock. If that muscle gets irritated, it can cause sciatica even though it is not a true radiculopathy.
5. The last cause of sciatica is Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction which is not a true pinched nerve but can mimic the symptoms.
Back pain is the most common complaint with a herniated disc or pinched nerve. This pain can be deep, penetrating, sharp, or throbbing. The onset of pain can be instantaneous, or it may be experienced as a snapping sensation in the back that is a result of an accidental tear of part of the fibrous part of the disc. The pain may radiate to other parts of the lower body affecting mobility and range of motion. Walking is difficult, and people may be appearing to limp to reduce the pressure on the painful side.
Right: Another view of a herniated disc pinching a nerve.
The treatment for most people with a herniated disc is usually conservative with bed rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and cold packs alternating with warm packs. Avoiding aggravating movements and activities with a slow return to normal activities is the key to long-term recovery. Too much sitting is bad bal roots. Other medications include analgesics, muscle relaxants, or tranquilizers.
A qualified physiotherapist, chiropractor or osteopath can assist with decompression movements for the key area of your back, with exercises for strengthening core stability to support that area of your spine. Gentle spine traction (pulling apart) positions such as swimming can also greatly assist. Some specialty groups also offer computer and pulley assisted ‘Traction Table Therapy’ which can help manage the condition as well.
If a patient is not responding to conservative treatments mentioned above, then surgery may be required. Traditionally a spine surgeon might offer a microdiscectomy (a keyhole procedure performed through your back) to cut away the disc area which is compressing on the nerve. This is usually offered as a first surgery by spine surgeons.
Sometimes this type of discectomy surgery might only be a temporary solution to fix pain, because removing part of an unstable joint can cause greater instability, leading to more surgery in the future.
If conservative therapies fail and there is chance for permanent nerve damage, surgeons who are experienced in Cervical and Lumbar Disc Replacement using ‘new-generation’ implants such as the ESP or M6 Discs may recommend Artificial Disc Replacement right away, to restore healthy height and movement to their spine, giving the patient the best chance at a healthy lifestyle without concern for ongoing surgeries. Traditional spinal fusions using Robotic Navigation can also be offered as a ‘last line of defence’ for patients unsuitable for a motion-preserving surgery. |
en | N/A | N/A | According to the Release Notes, a Wubi upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 fails and is still not recommended – “File not found”. Bug # 613288
If you have upgraded to 10.10 and cannot boot normally:
Boot the LiveCD, make mount points and mount your Windows partition. Then mount your wubi installation. Note you must change sda1 to your Windows partition designation.
sudo mkdir /mnt/windows /mnt/wubi
gksu gedit +80 /mnt/wubi/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Remove all the lines above the first “menuentry” line (Approximately line 85). Save the file and then reboot. Do not run update-grub before rebooting.
Good News on Documentation As of 2 July 2010 there is a new GNU Grub Manual. It is available on-line, as well as in HTML and PDF versions. It’s a step in making threads such as this unnecessary!
More Good News As of late July 2010 grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu7) will only display /, /boot, or /boot/grub partitions on which to install Grub 2. If running grub-install or dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc the user will no longer see every device and partition (including Windows). This should greatly reduce the chance of installing Grub 2 on a Windows system partition and making Windows unbootable. There will also be much less chance of installing Grub 2 to every existing partition.
Important Note to Wubi (Windows Ubuntu) Users: Grub Update results in “No Such Disk”: A late July 2010 Grub 2 update is causing a “no such disk” error for some users of WUBI, resulting in an unbootable system. If the system doesn’t display the original Windows menu, the most likely cause of the failure is that Grub 2 was installed in the MBR and/or on the Windows partition. To correct this, restore the Windows bootloader using this link:
Whether the failure is due to improper user selections or Grub 2’s failure to recognize a Wubi install, it has been reported in the following bug and users can review it for status updates and recovery options when they become available:
“Fix Symbol ‘grub-puts’ Not Found” Error Message: <URL>…ound-when.html
If you can get to a normal installation, run the grub-install command or use the “dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc” command to put Grub onto your current partition. If you have to use the Live CD, use chroot to run these commands (see chroot link in my signature line.
Introduction I’ve written this guide to present some basic information about Grub 2. It is meant for users who may be familiar with basic editing of the original Grub (Grub Legacy) menu.lst and wonder how it carries over to Grub 2. The actual version of Grub 2 used in Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala is 1.97~beta4; 1.98 is the Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx version. In keeping with Ubuntu’s “stable release” philosophy, 1.97~beta4 will remain the official version in 9.10/Karmic and will not be updated to 1.98. In this guide, any reference to Grub 2 will refer to the 10.04 Lucid Lynx 1.98 version, with major differences noted.
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=UUID=444539ba-ab9e-4028-94f5-c1a86b5ec7c1 ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-16-generic
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-16-generic ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=UUID=444539ba-ab9e-4028-94f5-c1a86b5ec7c1 ro single
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved – (Grub 1.98) Enables the “grub-reboot” and “grub-set-default” commands.
The format is “sudo grub-set-default X, with X being the menuentry position (starting with 0 as the first entry) or the exact menu string. Examples: sudo grub-set-default 3 or sudo grub-set-default “Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-15-generic”
grub-reboot. This command sets the default boot entry for the next boot only. The format of the command is the same as for “grub-set-default” (see above).
Caution: Holding down the “SHIFT” key will not display the menu if “GRUB_TIMEOUT=” is set to “0” .
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [ Note: This setting only applies to computers with only a single operating system. ]
The hidden timeout option allows a screen to be displayed without the Grub 2 menu, awaiting input from the user for a given number of seconds. It is available to single-OS computers – if multiple OS’s are known to Grub 2, this option is bypassed.
If a background image is designated in 05_debian_theme it will be displayed rather than a blank screen during a hidden menu timeout.
For integers greater than 0:
The system will pause without displaying a menu for the designated number of seconds. If the user does not press the SHIFT key during the timeout the system will then boot the default OS/kernel.
With a value of 0:
Unless the user intervenes, the system will boot the default OS/kernel with only a slight delay. No menu will be displayed.
On computers on which Grub 2 recognizes multiple OS’s:
This entry is ignored.
The menu will be displayed for the value designated in GRUB_TIMEOUT.
The hidden menu timeout option is not available, as it is bypassed by a conditional in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober.
The system can still boot without displaying a menu by setting the GRUB_TIMEOUT value to 0, however a timeout delay with a blank screen is not available.
The keystatus check for SHIFT key usage is bypassed by the scripts. Holding down the SHIFT key during boot will not display the menu.
If the user of a multi-OS computer wishes to hide the menu while incorporating a blank screen timeout the scripts in /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober can be modified. Please refer to Grub 2 Title Tweaks.
Update: A bug requires quotation symbols be added for this option to be enabled. Change true to “true” and uncomment the line to eliminate UUIDs for linux entries.
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=”true” * Enables/disables the os-prober check of other partitions for operating systems, including Windows, Linux, OSX and Hurd.
GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
The format unless a file is named is: “tempo [pitch1 duration1] [pitch2 duration2] …”
Close Encounters/5 Tone: GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
Fur Elise (note long): GRUB_INIT_TUNE=”<DIGITS>″
Online documentation is available by typing “info grub –index-search play” in a terminal.
The files in this folder are read during execution of “update-grub” or “update-grub” commands. The contents are imported into /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Any file created must be executable in order to be included in the grub.cfg file during the “update-grub” command.
40_custom: A template for adding custom menu entries which will be inserted into grub.cfg upon execution of the “update-grub” command. This and any other custom file must be made executable to allow importation into grub.cfg.
When “update-grub” or “update-grub” is executed, Grub 2 will search for linux kernels and other Operating Systems. What and where is looks is based on the files contained in /etc/grub.d folder.
The files in the /etc/grub.d folder will be read and the contents included in grub.cfg when the “update-grub” command is executed as root.
If the user wishes to get visual confirmation in the terminal that the 40_custom file contents are being added when “update-grub” is executed, the following line can be added to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file:
echo “Adding 40_custom menu entries.” >&2
Place this line immediately after the first line – “#!/bin/bash” – and before the “exec tail -n +3 $0” line.
Kernels removed via APT (Synaptic, “apt-get remove”, etc.) will automatically update grub.cfg and no user action is required. A great tool for removing kernels (and menu entries) is Ubuntu-Tweak, a safe and easy-to-use GUI app.
Type the kernel number in the search window at the upper right (for example – 2.6.28-11).
Select “Package Cleaner” on the left and “”Clean Kernel” from the right panel.
Once the file has been removed or edited, run “update-grub” to update grub.cfg.
Booting LiveCD and Other ISOs Grub 2 provides the capability to boot certain .iso images. These image files (ISO’s) include the Ubuntu LiveCDs, SystemrescueCD and the Parted Magic CD.
The following examples assume the ISO image is located on the user “drs305″‘s Desktop on sda1. The address of the file, named test.iso would be /home/drs305/Desktop/test.iso. Grub 2 uses the convention (hd0,1) to designate sda1. The user must change the path and filenames in the following examples to match the location of the ISO image on their system.
Open the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file for editing as root, or create another custom file in the same folder.
Create a menuentry. Leave the existing first 5 lines of the file alone. Any entries should be made below the pre-existing lines.
Make sure the partition, path and filename are correct for the image you will be using.
Ensure there are no spaces at the end of any lines.
Save the file, run “sudo update-grub”, and then check the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to make sure the contents of the 40_custom file are included. The user will not see the custom file listed in the terminal during the running of the update-grub command.
The following are examples of an Ubuntu LiveCD, the SystemRescueCD, and the Parted Magic CD. In the examples, the ISO images are stored on user “drs305″‘s Desktop on sda1. These entries would be added to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file.
For the SystemRescue CD, replace “rescuecd with “rescue64” on 64-bit systems.
The “quiet” option has been omitted from the “linux” line in order for the user to see progress during boot. Even so, there may be periods where the boot appears to halt. Let it continue unless an error message is visible.
menuentry " SystemRescue-ISO on /dev/sda1" {
Booting from the Rescue Mode Here are some things to keep in mind regarding the rescue mode.
Use the “set” command to review the current rescue mode settings.
Use “ls” to see the partitions. You must determine the Ubuntu partition.
Use “ls (hdX,Y)/boot” to inspect the partition you think is the Ubuntu partition. If you find the correct partition, it will show files and the grub folder. (Example: ls (hd0,5)/boot )
Use “set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub to set the correct path to the grub folder. This must be correct before you can use rescue commands or load the kernel.
You must load modules before you can use them, and the prefix path must be correct.
If an unknown command or file not found error message is generated, the path in the prefix is incorrect or the module is not loaded.
insmod normal help linux – Loads the normal, help, linuxmodules. If they load there is no terminal message. Additional modules may be loaded in the same manner.
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro – Load the linux kernel, substituting the correct designations for “X” and “Y” (example: sda1). The user will see a message showing the kernel has been loaded.
More information on the rescue mode is available in the “Command Line & Rescue Mode“ section of the Ubuntu Grub 2 community doc.
Bonus Section: BSD Menuentry – If you need to have an entry to boot into BSD/Windows from the Grub2 menu, here is the menuentry to put into a custom file:
Grub Rescue Image A bootable Grub 2 rescue image is available for both floppies and CDs. To obtain the images, install “grub-rescue-pc”. Once installed, three images are available in /usr/lib/grub-mkrescue. Use the I]grub-mkrescue [/I] command to create the rescue ISO. See the MAN page for more information. Note: A customized rescue ISO only uses the current systems Grub 2 /boot/grub files. No information from /etc/grub.d or /etc/default/grub is imported.
The ISO only boots to the grub prompt. It uses the Grub 2 files found on the ISO; if the problem is with the system’s Grub 2 files the rescue ISO should boot. However, the ISO contains no kernels and must be told where to find the correct kernel and initrd files on the system. The user must know the drive/partition on which the boot files are located and the non-Grub files must exist and be uncorrupted.
Selected Problems & Bugs meierfra has been busily building pages which detail how to solve many of the common problems users are experiencing with Grub 2. His SourceForge web page should be one of the first stops for those seeking answers to Grub 2 issues.
Wubi (Windows Ubuntu) Users – wubildr Grub2 updates in the spring of 2010 triggered a bug in the ntfs module causing Wubi boot failures. The solution to this boot problem was posted by Agostino Russo and is found in this Lucid Lynx LaunchPad Bug Report #477169, Post 210. The module causing the errors has been fixed and replacing the “wubildr” file in Windows permanently solves this problem. meierfra has kindly provided clear instructions on how to fix this problem at <URL>…lems:Wubi_9.10

BIOS and the Grub2 device map may no longer agree. See this post:
This error is the result of a failure of the GRUB 2 search function. There are various bugs associated with the search function. At the Grub2 menu, highlight the OS you want to boot. Press “e” to edit the menuentry. Delete the entire “search …” line, then CTRL-x to boot.
If the above does not solve the problem, hightlight the OS you want to boot, press “e” to enter the grub edit mode, and on the line beginning with “linux /” change the section “root=UUID…” to “root=/dev/sdXY …” with sdXY being the drive and partition on which the system is installed.
This error is the result of a GRUB 2 installation to /boot but a Master Boot Record ( MBR ) which still contains Grub legacy. This can happen if you don’t select your drive when running sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy. Shortly after starting this command the user will be asked to select the device (sda, sdb, etc). Highlight the drive and press the space bar to select it when presented with this screen. Failure to select a drive will result in an Error 15.

en | N/A | N/A | Turning the Tables Paul Oakenfold is not a celebrity-DJ hack. Or if he is, maybe that's not so bad.
Wednesday, Jul 21 2004
Hating British trance DJ Paul Oakenfold is like hating Wal-Mart -- it's not that much fun. Like the ubiquitous superstore, Oakenfold is officially the biggest and most successful at what he does, namely, playing clubs all over the world, selling mix CDs, and producing remixes for top-shelf pop artists. In fact, Guinness declared him just that, the "World's Most Successful DJ." Also like Wal-Mart, Oakenfold is high-profile and routinely faulted for questionable quality by critics. But Wal-Mart sells a pair of unworn bluejeans for $9. Who can hate that? Oakenfold has moved a million copies of a mix CD, something no other DJ has done. An Oakenfold mix is often the one lonely bit of electronic music in a hard-line, "techno's for sissies" rock consumer's collection. People who know jack shit about dance music know Oakenfold. There's power in that. Hating Oakenfold, then, is almost like wishing for the demise of electronic music itself. If Wal-Mart suddenly went Chapter 11, the GDP of the country would almost be cut in half -- or at least it seems that way. If Oakenfold called it quits, the dance industry would likewise shudder. In 2001, he signed an unknown Russian trance act called PPK to his Perfecto label, and the resulting single sold 300,000 copies and became one of the biggest club hits of the year. Oakenfold produces a trickledown effect that provides nourishment to scores of lesser-known artists: If he gives frequent rotation to a particular producer's track, other DJs will snatch it up, too. It's also fair to say that Oakenfold has been the leading ambassador of electronic music, bringing it to far-flung markets previously closed to it. Last year, he released a two-disc live mix recorded at the Great Wall of China called Great Wall. Although expat Westerners have been throwing underground raves on or around the Wall for years, Oakenfold's performance was the first sanctioned event by a professional DJ. The resulting product is an unremarkable sampling of the latest "hooj choons" that are causing speakers to quake in the world's megaclubs. Woven in with Björk's "Pagan Poetry" and Oakenfold's own pretty "Hypnotised" are a few of the DJ's remixes, most notably his take on Madonna's "Hollywood." And penetrating the elusive Asian market is not the farthest he's gone in disseminating his brand name. In the mid- and late '90s, Oakenfold was able to sneak his completely unsubtle, towering trance tunes into the belly of the beast itself: the rock arena circuit. He was the first DJ to play England's Glastonbury Festival, and he opened for the Rolling Stones and U2. Last year, he was granted the right to remix Elvis. It's almost gotten to the point where Oakenfold's not the biggest fish in the pond. He's the water. And yet, those both inside and outside club culture despise him with a rare gusto. A line of popular "Oakenfold Sucks" T-shirts made the rounds a few years ago, and when URB magazine, the bastion of supposedly authentic "future music," finally put him on its cover in 2000, the letters page in the next issue was bursting with subscription-canceling threats. Because it is so passé and implicit that serious fans of electronic music shit on Oakenfold, his detractors have to engage in gross hyperbole to make their point. "He sucks more than a Slurpee fiend sucking back a lollipop into a jet intake and then pulled out of a space shuttle airlock with a cargo of baby pacifiers," a writer with the rave culture Web site ishkur.com concluded. While it's hard to disagree with the fact that Oakenfold has given new life to this still mostly niche music, it's also widely believed that he's killed certain aspects of it, too. Part of this, of course, is the inevitable backlash that comes with being an artist in any genre who holds the brass ring. But there's more to it. Mark Bowen, 24, an amateur DJ and dance-music chat-room denizen, put it succinctly in an e-mail: "The problem with Oakie is he's become a jukebox. He just plays whatever the current taste is no matter how awful. A DJ should push the boundaries and educate an audience about what's out there." Oakenfold has been asked the question numerous times in interviews -- What about the underground? -- and he told Rolling Stone in 2001 that the perceptions of what he does are skewed. "Ninety percent of the music I play is not on vinyl, it's acetate." (Producers put out small runs of new tracks on acetate before other consumers can get the actual vinyl version.) "You can't get any more underground than that." His argument is slightly specious, since as a superstar DJ he gets the songs that are predestined for chart success early on acetate, which doesn't necessarily make them underground by virtue of the medium. But of course, the titles of the tracks, where they come from, and how underground they are doesn't matter at all to most of the kids lost in a trance at a club, the Great Wall, or wherever Oakenfold will take his music next. The unfortunate reality that those Wal-Mart jeans were made by Burmese preteens doesn't take away from how great a deal they represent. Oakenfold is the closest thing to a household name in dance music because he simply gives consumers what they want, and how deeply he digs to find it is ultimately immaterial to most.

en | N/A | N/A | biggest puzzles in comics, as his comics are often equal parts the most impressive and the most frustrating on the stands. That's the case with Batman #77, which begins with some of the best writing of King's run and ends with a gut-punch of a twist that has the potential to destroy the character's status quo if not reversed.
We all know some grim stuff is coming as Batman and Catwoman return to retake Gotham, so this break arc is a nice breather before this title heads into the last six issues of its run.
We know he's going to make a face-turn by the end of the arc and probably wind up back in oblivion just like Jor-El, but unlike Jor-El he's been taken so far that I don't know if I'll buy it. And still no word on or reaction to what happened to Alfred. But segments like Batman's face-off with Hush, or the brief and thrilling segment involving Kite-Man, show King's deliberate pacing at its best.
There's a strange backup with Harvey Bullock half-naked and singing a weird song while wearing Joker makeup, and I'm not sure what to make of it, but the art by both Romita Jr. and Gerads is top-notch, even if the story feels scattered.
But the problem with this narrative is that for all the hype over City of Bane, it doesn't feel like Bane is the ultimate arch-villain of this story. This showdown almost feels like a Mini-Boss, with Thomas Wayne lurking in the background.

I've had my issues with Tom King's Batman run for a few months now, but I'm happy to report that he does stick the landing in Batman #85 with a strong final issue that calls back to the run's best moments.
So, a fine start. It's nothing we haven't seen before in a Batman story but we haven't seen this type of story much lately, and it's well-executed..
Guillem March's art has improved a lot, although he still has elements of the cheesecake style he had on the Sirens " and fans of that series will be very glad to see the last page. Three issues in, I am fully invested in this mystery.
Under the surface, this Batman is more unwell than he has been in a long time, and I suspect that's going to come out in a bad way soon. But until then, we're being treated to one hell of an entertaining run.
This entire run has been great, but this issue builds the tension up to an almost unbearable level at times.
Joker War is getting all the hype, but Tynion is coming out of the gate on this title as strong as Snyder did.
The title hasn't missed a step, though, as we plunge right back into James Tynion IV's high-octane thriller.
As we rocket towards Joker War, James Tynion IV's run continues to build momentum and it becomes clear just how many hands Joker has everywhere in Gotham.
There''r's Endgame.
This is an explosive kickoff with a great cliffhanger. We'll see how the tie-ins do, but Tynion has event.
We're still in the opening act, but this storyline is exactly as intense and creepy as it should be.
This is what a Joker event should be, and we're only halfway to the big showdown.
It's a great setup for the final two issues of the story, and Selina's cliffhanger has a lot of promise as well. No Joker or Clownhunter this issue, but that's just whetting our appetite for the chaos to come.
The upcoming Batman #100 is an oversized conclusion, and it'll need it"there is a lot built up here for an explosive conclusion to one of the best Joker stories in years.
This story directly leads into the upcoming Punchline one-shot, and it's set up a fascinating new status quo for Batman and everyone around him.
After the sheer chaos of Joker War, it's time for a break"at least for one issue, because Ghost-Maker is lurking right around the corner to be the next breakout villain of Tynion's run. But this issue is much more about the long-term fallout of Joker War"and how it's going to change Batman's operation.
This era of Bruce's past hasn't been explored too much"the last major plot thread to come from that was David Cain as his deranged former mentor"so there's a lot of promise here. And like much of Tynion's run, it's sure to make a chaotic Gotham even more challenging for a very different Batman.
With some great cameos and one hell of a central fight, it's another strong issue in a near-flawless run so far.
With only one issue to go before a hiatus for Future State, this series is still one of DC's most consistently entertaining, but it needs to get its art situation sorted out before the next big arc.
Despite not having any developments as huge as the last few runs"yet"it actually feels like one of the most ambitious recent runs for the sheer number of significant new characters it's introduced.
It's no surprise that one of DC's best books before the relaunch remains so now.
This is very much a breather issue, but that's not a criticism at all. James Tynion's Gotham feels alive in a way the city rarely does, and that allows him to make issues like this"where we're mostly waiting for the chaos to break loose"as compelling as the big action set pieces.
's rThis story is really just the lead character fighting his way through a different boss level every issue before he gets to the woman of the hour, but it's written well enough that it's more than holding my interest.
Ghost-Maker's ascent up the tower continues to be highly entertaining, and I'm looking forward to him finally facing Madame Midas. It's superhero comics by way of Korean martial arts films.
Much of the cast is split around Gotham without too much to do this issue, but coming off the jam-packed Alpha issue, it's a good break that shows us just how much Gotham's fabric is collapsing in only a short time.
This issue, like the last, is mostly prelude before a coming massive showdown, and it's a testament to just how good Tynion's writing is that it hasn't lost a step.
This event has wavered between surprisingly character-driven stories like last month's installment"and no-holds-barred Gotham action like this one. It's a testament to Tynion's writing that both are equally compelling.
This story has been giving just about every member of Tynion's larger Bat-family the chance to shine, and the end of the issue escalates the threat to a new level. Scarecrow continues to be a terrifying presence in the background, but one who prefers to let others do his dirty work. And that makes this story feel very different from past Bat-events.
The cliffhanger might confuse some people"it ties in deeply to what's happening in Ram V's Catwoman run, and I |

en | N/A | N/A | Swimmers don't understand training without it strength work.
The dominated is a regular exercise in your dry workout since it provides such an important global upper body work in swimming.
As we already know, the chin-up consists of raising the body by grasping a bar at a certain height with the hands.
In order for you to include this exercise in your training routines, you need to be prepared in terms of technique and strength requirements.
A movement similar to that of the chin-up is performed, only in the opposite direction, that is, in this exercise the bar is brought to our chest and in the chin-up it is our body that rises to the bar.
You can vary the grips as in the pull-up.
To be able to work unilaterally and thus observe if there are differences in our arms, we can perform one-hand pulls on a high pulley, either sitting or on the floor.
Another variant is to perform it standing up with an elastic band attached to the chin-up bar.
It consists of performing only the eccentric phase of the domina, the descent. To do this, use a support that helps you rise to the bar without much effort.
This exercise will allow you to gain strength in your grip and movement so that you can finally achieve a complete pull-up.
Using a rubber or elastic band will help you with your first pull-ups.
You must progress in the way of use (placing the feet is more advantageous than the knees) and in the resistance of the rubber, so that you will notice the progression. |
