Nice progress. Are those actually crutches you're using to balance with?

I admire you for sticking with it, I tried to learn to unicycle last summer and quickly gave up. It is brutally difficult and the injury to minutes spent partaking ratio is like nothing else I've ever tried!

They are the crutches from my ankle rebuild.
I borrowed one last summer from a teenager down the road but gave up after only two hours.
My boys asked if they could join the school unicycle club and it's been helping them and watching them progress thats spurred me on.

Once you have the riding part down, you could take up juggling. It could be a whole new career in show biz.
I didn't realize it was so dangerous and difficult to learn. I'd love to give it a try, but I don't think I'd run out and buy one just so I could. Are there lugged versions of uni's?? It's darn cool you're doing it with your kids!

It's not that dangerous, I'm just an unco! Most of my injuries could have been avoided by wearing long pants or body-armour, but it's too hot down here now to ride in jeans and I don't own any leg protectors.
I managed to do a face-plant yesterday while starting off. I wasn't even moving and lost skin on my forearm, hip and knee. Luckily I was wearing my cycling gloves at the time.
I have improved a lot this week and are bailing-out less. Just got to get the steering sorted, I can't find the handlebars on this thing!
Lugs you say? I don't know if you can get lugged ones but a few of the custom builders around do unicycles as well. Hunter cycles of California for example make some beautiful custom steel frames.

The Unicycle has been on my to do list for years. There's just always something else that takes priority on my 2 wheelers. Glad to see you giving it a shot!
I tried one years ago, and didn't have much luck!

Believe me, I have two wheeled priorities, but losing skin on a borrowed wheel fits my budget at the moment.

You're probably picking up on the main point in all these chapters - communication is key to budgeting as a couple. This next chapter reinforces this fact after you've tried your budget for a while.
Once you create a budget and test it, then you can come back and make any necessary adjustments.
Watch this chapter and let's figure out ways to fine-tune your budget.
Know what's working … and what's not.
After kicking the tires on your budget for a few months, you should be able to identify what's working well and what needs an adjustment.
Whenever the time is right to discuss it, do it. You don't necessarily have to wait for a date night when you know something isn't working. Ultimately, your budget should be flexible where it could be in order for it to work well.
Be honest and make smart adjustments - as you go - to build a strong and healthy budget.
Download the Money Management for Couples Worksheet to help you out.
Budgeting Tip: Set a date on the calendar when you and your partner can talk about your budget to gauge successes and struggles. The goal is to make good adjustments and customize your budget to help you reach your shared goals.

|Plate and rod
|Main indication
|Diaphyseal fractures with non reducible fragments
In the presence of non-reducible fragments or when devitalization of the fragments is likely during reduction, indirect reduction (bridging fixation) such as a plate and rod stabilization technique is indicated.
|Interlocking nail
|Main indication
|Diaphyseal fractures with non reducible fragments
All B and C type fractures, especially the non-reconstructible types, are amenable for internal fixation with an interlocking nail (ILN). The ILN can be used with an open approach but is an excellent minimally invasive device, since it can be placed through small incisions without disturbing the fracture site.
The ILN provides good relative stability to the fractured bone. They are highly effective in counteracting bending forces because of their large diameter and intramedullary location. Unlike intramedullary pins, they effectively counteract axial compression and torsion because of their interlocking mechanisms.
|Bridging plate and alternative double plating
|Main indication
|Diaphyseal fractures with non reducible fragments
32-B3, 32-C3 and usually 32-B2 fractures are not reducible fractures; therefore, biological fracture repairs are recommended.
A plate with a bridging function can under certain conditions be used alone for internal fixation of these fractures. If a bone plate is used alone, it must be able to withstand all the weight bearing forces during healing, as the bone will not initially be sharing the load.
A bridging plate used alone is acceptable in young dogs, when bone healing is fast, and in light weight patients.
Alternative surgical technique: Double plating
|Tie-in technique
|Main indication
|Diaphyseal fractures with non reducible fragments in small patients
An external skeletal fixator with an intramedullary pin tie-in configuration is an alternative to bone plating in small dogs.
|Basic surgical experience, no specialized skills
|Some specialized surgical experience
|Highly experienced and skilled surgeon
|Basic equipment only
|Simple surgical and imaging resources

Since the release of Android's Gingerbread version, Google made what was probably a market-and technology-driven decision to use the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) when an Android device is connected to a desktop. The old way, "USB Storage," was as simple as it gets, with your Android device showing up in Linux file managers like a thumb drive. But with MTP, which is supposed to make your device appear as a media player, doesn't work out of the box on Linux. However, with a couple of quick changes, you can make it happen.
Access via MTP (aka "The Hard Way")
In addition to the way described here using gMTP, you can also configure a connection that lets you use your file manager (Nautlius in Ubuntu, or Dolphin in Kubuntu) to move files around. You'll be mounting the device's "/mnt/sdcard" to a directory on your Linux box, so you'll be able to use a number of Linux-based tools, including rsync/unison, back-up tools, etc…
1. First, you'll need to install the tools necessary to support an MTP connection, and then to connect the Android's filesystem to the Linux one. You can do this on an Ubuntu distribution with the following commands:
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs
2. Next, download this file to your Home folder, and give it a name… I called it "mount-prime.sh" (if you find you can't run it from the terminal once installed, make sure it's permissions are set to be executable).
3. Then, once you connect the Android device via a USB cable, you can use the name of the script as the command to mount/unmount your device to the "/media/Transformer" directory (i.e. for me, typing "
mount-prime.sh" in the terminal will mount my Transformer, and repeating the command will unmount it). If you don't see it right away, don't worry, it takes a good amount of time for the actual connection to happen.
Now you can interact with your Android device files like you would any other directory.
Access via SFTP (aka "The Easy Way")
There are a couple of things that make the MTP route less than ideal. As noted above, it takes a long time for the connection to start up, and once it does, it takes even longer for the files to transfer back and forth. But serving up the files from the Android device via SFTP will also work with existing file managers, and be faster and not require a direct connection as well.
To use this, you'll need to install the SSHDroid Android app. Once this is installed, literally the only thing you'll need to do is start it up. The SFTP service will start up automatically, and display a screen like the one below:
This shows you the IP address you'll need to access. You can either type this directly into a file manager's URL bar, or use the functions in each to create a shortcut for your device.
1. In Nautilus, select "File > Connect to a Server," then fill out the fields as shown below… the IP address and port should match what is shown on the SSHDroid screen.
Also, note that if you fill in the port number shown in SSHDroid (port 2222) and then select the "SSH" as the Type, it will automatically change the port number to the default for SSH connections (22). The default username is "root," and the default password (if you didn't change it on the SSHDroid Preferences screen) is "admin." Once you click the "Connect" button, you'll see the contents of your Android device in the Nautilus window.
2. In Dolphin, click on the "Network" item on the left-hand side, then "Add a Network Folder." The first screen of the wizard will ask you for the connnection type – select Secure Shell here.
The next screen will ask for some details, similar to those Nautilus asked for.
Fill these in based on the user name, IP address, and password, then select "sftp" as the Protocol. There's also a checkbox to save a shortcut to your device, but it will only work if your IP address is the same, so give your device a static or pre-assigned DHCP IP address if you want to use this.
Once you're connected, you can copy, move, synchronize, or even open and edit the files on your device directly from your favorite file manager window.

iBaker frozen pastry
A major sub-contractor for frozen products, NordHaus, decided to start selling its products under own brand name. The decision was made to enter the crowded market with a superior quality range, selling not lower price, but better taste and ingredients.
We at Brand Manual started with a proposed name, our task was to create an upscale packaging concept, along with new identity and the initial range of seven products. The clean, minimalistic packaging is unmistakably premium and is clearly distinctive on the colourful freezer shelf.

Since inception in 1975, Greenhorizons has been seeking the most effective methods for installing, rejuvenating, and maintaining high performance turf. Thanks to some European ingenuity in the mid 90's, we were able to incorporate an incredibly valuable tool into our arsenal of turf care equipment: the fraise mower.
We had always been working to solve the problem posed by excess organic matter that accumulated in the turf's thatch layer over time.
Thatch is a layer of grass shoots, stems, and roots (stolons and rhizomes) that are either alive and well, or are dead and will be broken down into nutrients for the plant! Thatch build up occurs when the turf produces organic debris faster than it can be broken down. This is a common occurrence on high performance turf pitches.
Thatch provides many benefits to turfgrass including insulation, protection from physical damage, and promoting lateral growth. It's also a nice cushion for any players that happen to fall on the pitch!
Unfortunately, it's not all sunshine and rainbows when it comes to thatch… Thick thatch can cause extensive root damage because of how quickly it heats up and dries out. It can also hold too much water during rainy periods resulting in root rot. Even large populations of disease-causing organisms can be found in thick thatch layers. Ultimately you want a thatch layer that's not too thick, not too thin, but just right!
Traditionally, sports turf managers have controlled thatch using core aeration. This helps to correct soil compaction and improve air circulation in the soil. Improved air circulation promotes microbial activity and healthy microbes in the soil are essential to turfgrass performance. These microorganisms process soil nutrients so that they're readily available for the plant to absorb. Topdressing with a sand-heavy soil after aeration will help decompose the thatch layer, and also help with water percolation preventing root rot.
Since the introduction of fraize mowing, core aeration isn't the only way to manage thatch… If the thatch layer is out of control, and you've concluded that the field in question requires intensive renovation, go on and put that fraize mower to work. Be aware however that fraize mowing is a very aggressive process and it must be part of a comprehensive renovation strategy. Several parameters need to be established beforehand such as depths, expectations, field conditions, and field downtime. An initial discussion is crucial to ensure that fraize mowing is truly the right solution, and that it is going to be performed properly.
The concept of fraize mowing is simple: remove the top layer of organic matter including thatch, weeds and invasive grasses, while leaving the main root structure and crown intact. In conjunction with an overseeding process, this main root structure will regrow. There are several different types of fraize mowers that each have their own unique applications. From straight bar, to carbide tip round shank, to a 90-degree tiller blade; as a sports turf manager, you have options. With each implement, you also control depth. Whether you are planning on simply re-growing, overseeding, slit seeding, drop seeding and top dressing, coring and overseeding, or sodding, you can find the perfect fraize mower and depth combo to achieve the best results.
If you decide to fraize mow a field, be prepared to move lots of organic debris! Even light fraize mowing will remove hundreds of yards of material that will need to be pulled off the field using trailers, wagons, or trucks. A close dump site is essential and a plan for how to compost the material for later use will help immensely.
Since fraize mowing removes so much organic debris, it is an excellent cultural practice from an Integrated Pest Management perspective. Instead of using chemical solutions to combat broad leaf weeds and Poa Annua, fraize mowing can pull away any seeds and stands that would have out competed your desired cultivar. As previously mentioned, fraize mowing will also reduce the amount of thatch in your field, which can be home to disease-causing microorganisms! It is an excellent cultural alternative to the many chemical solutions used to treat diseases.
The fraize mowing process will also remove small divots and undulations from the field. You will be extremely pleased to see the flat field that results from proper fraize mowing. In extreme cases when there are large divots and holes, the field will need to be terra planed.
Terra planing is a deeper, more aggressive form of mowing. This is almost strictly used when fresh sod is to be laid, or if the field is too uneven to simply be seeded. Typical terra planing depth is 1.5-2 inches. Sod will root and interface with the existing root structure much better if the surface has been terra planed. If the field is to be overseeded, terra planing is not recommended because the establishment time from seed to usable-field will be very long.
If you choose to lightly fraize mow a field, the post-mow process is typically topdress, groom, an aggressive starter fertilizer application, seed and water. This must be commenced immediately so that the stolons and rhizomes are allowed to regrow.
Here at Greenhorizons, we find that a medium fraize mowing depth in a reasonably even field, followed by mechanical slit seeding provides excellent results. When slit seeding, depth is crucial! Be careful not to plant the seeds in the left-over organic matter, but right down into the soil. Direct seed-soil contact is critical to the success of the project.
A method that has also worked extremely well for Greenhorizons, is to terra plane the center 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of the field and re-sod that area. Then, fraize mow the outer edges of the field at a light to medium depth and topdress or slit seed that area. This will provide a usable field in approximately 6 weeks depending on the initial conditions of the field.
The ideal time to fraize mow for us is the first two weeks of September. This gives the field time to recover for the rest of the fall and early spring before programming is started in late May/June of the following year. Keep in mind though that it is highly recommended to complete your fraize mowing project before the irrigation system is winterized. Some days in September and October can be very windy and dry!
Once a field has been fraize mowed, be sure to have all your tools and materials ready to go immediately following completion. Whether you're seeding, topdressing, or coring, having your equipment prepped and ready to go is key. Additionally, having water access and irrigating as soon as possible will prevent the field from desiccating.
Remember that you need to give the field time to recover after fraize mowing! Improper field management following this process can result in a field in worse condition than before. Be sure to have plenty of time allocated to the project in anticipation of potential hang-ups. You need to be very detail oriented when fraize mowing so as to complete the project properly and in a timely manner.
A word of caution, especially when it comes to soccer fields, never renovate only the goal mouth's and centres. Although this is what typically wears out first, the ability to keep these smaller areas intensively maintained is very difficult. Choose a reasonable width for the centre and fraize mow from end to end. This can typically be irrigated with a zone or two, and can be mowed separately from the rest of the field allowing the renovated area time to establish without traffic.
In summary, fraize mowing can be an excellent tool in the turf manager's bag of tricks, but it must be part of an overall rejuvenation plan. If you plan on fraize mowing, remember these key points: establish a complete renovation plan before starting; consult with a company who has rejuvenation experience; ensure water is readily available for a speedy recovery; and make sure you have the equipment to haul a large amount of organic material and enough space to compost it.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Alexandre Burrows' category.
This is by no means in defense of Derek's performance thus far in the season. I'm very upset with him in that regard.
I DO NOT, HOWEVER BADLY HE MAY HAVE PLAYED IN THE PAST FIVE GAMES, CONDONE SHOVING HIM UNDER A BENCH!!! That's absolutely disgusting! Alex Burrows, you are on my shit list. And as I said to Kim when I realized who was being shoved under then bench, if I see you on the streets, sir, YOU ARE DONE. Yes, that is a threat, and no, I'm not afraid of you.
Do you, Mr. Burrows, realize how dirty the floor of the bench can be? As much as I love them, hockey players are just like any other guy–gross. You all spit on the bench, bleed on the bench, sweat on the bench… Need I say more? Would you like your face shoved in that? I didn't think so. So what makes you think you can shove Derek's face into the floor? Oh, that's right. You're just jealous that he's got an impeccable fashion sense, he's damn good-looking, and oh, yeah, he plays for the Sabres, who are 4-0-1, comparable to your Canucks, who are 3-3-0. It's easy to see why you don't like Derek because through 82 games last year, he had 81 points, but you only had 32. Or is it because he makes $4 million a year, and you only make $483,000? Well, whatever it is, I still hate you.
Derek didn't deserve this from you. A hit, sure. Sending him flying over the boards, okay I can live with that (1, it's pretty funny when that happens, and 2, he's small, so it's plausible). But Alex, pick on someone your own size. Derek's 5'9″ is hardly in the same category as your 6'1″. Why don't you try shoving Pat Kaleta under a bench? That might work out better for you. And when I say for you, I mean for me. So work on that next time we play, okay? Great.
As you're all aware, the Sabres have posted the 10 Stupid Questions on the website (well, 8 of them, at least). And as I've already touched on the Mary Ann and Ginger situation (I heart Pat!!).

Me again! Two days in a row, weird! I'm back, as promised, to show you how I join the ends of the quilt binding when finishing my quilts. It has taken me a LOOOOOOONG time to figure out a good method for this, and an even longer time to remember how. Now that I've got it down, I'm comfortable with sharing it with all of you
I almost always cut 2 1/2"xWOF strips of fabric to make my binding. *WOF= Width of Fold, which is generally 42 usable inches. To figure out how many strips to cut, add up all four sides of your quilt and divide that number by 42. For example, my quilt was 82"x90". 82+82+90+90=344. 344 divided by 42= 8.2. Always round up, so in this case, I cut 9 strips of 2 1/2"x42". Join them all together, then roll it up to make it tidier for stitching.
Until I can write my own tutorial, click here for a good how-to on making quilt binding,
and here for how to attach it.
You will need:
-Fabric scissors
-Ruler with a 45* angle
-Fabric marker
Once you've got your binding mostly stitched on, you are ready to join the ends. Make sure to give yourself plenty of space between the loose ends to work! 20" is ideal, but make the most of what you can with the size of your quilt.
Now is a good time to trim the other binding end to a 45* angle if you haven't already done so. Align the 45* line with the bottom edge of your opened up binding; use the fabric marker to draw the line. Notice that this is the tail on the left.
Open up the binding tail on the right, aligning the bottom raw edge with the edge of the quilt. Make sure there are no gaps or wrinkles in the binding and that it is perfectly smooth and matched up with the quilt! Pin it in place so it doesn't shift while you're working on the rest.
Place the tail on the left on top of the pinned tail on the right.
Use the ruler as a guide to draw the cut angle of the tail onto the binding below it.
Remove the top tail, measure 1/2" to the LEFT of the original line; cut on this new line. This accommodates the 1/4" seam allowance for both sides.
Place the tails right sides together; pin in place and stitch.
Because the ends are at an angle, you will have little triangles sticking out of both sides by 1/4". This part always confused me, so I took a picture at a distance and close up so you can see how this is supposed to look.
Now all you have to do is finger press that seam open, refold the binding on its original crease and finish stitching it to the quilt. Well done, you!
I'll do my best to remember to take photos of the making and attaching steps the next time I'm working on a quilt. I hope you've found this tutorial to be simple and straight-forward.
Happy sewing!

There are some things you need to know in order to become a terrific cook. The following advice is going to provide you with advice that will help you to become one of the best cooks possible. Follow the tips in this article and you will learn to reach your cooking goals.
Prepare in advance as much as possible. It is important to have all the prep work done before you start cooking. However, when you are ready to start cooking and have a deadline for when your meal needs to be finished, it can be a bit stressful. Preparing some of the ingredients ahead of time can reduce the amount of stress you feel when it is time to prepare the meal.
A good tip when using cooking oil is to put some on the sides of the pan while cooking. This way, it will already be hot when it gets near the food. Having the oil at the right temperature when you cook with it will make the flavors pop.
Cooking vegetables for long periods of time causes them to lose a lot of the nutrients that are found in them. To get the greatest health benefit from vegetables, cook them quickly with methods like steaming or sauteing, or serve them raw.
Did you ever regret throwing moldy fruit away? Are you tempted to just cut off the moldy part and save the rest for your meal? Trying to salvage fruit when half of it is bad may save money, but it is not worth the health risks. It is important to throw moldy fruit in the trash because eating moldy food can cause you to become very ill. There is often more mold on the fruit than can be seen by the naked eye.
As stated before, there are some tricks and secrets you have to learn in order to be a good cook. Some people have a knack for cooking, while others have to learn the hard way. By reading this article, it is possible to become the cook you have always wanted to be.

Image Credit: AFP/Stringer/Getty ImagesEven for those of us who cheered, and cherished, the comeback of Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler (2008), there's no denying that that once-in-a-lifetime resurrection steered his career smack into a giant question mark. The question was: What could he possibly do next? As marvelous as he was in The Wrestler, everything about the role seemed so… singular. The poignant, ingeniously conceived parallel between Randy "The Ram" Robinson's broken-down career and lost-in-the-1980s glory days and Mickey Rourke's own faded greatness. The way that Rourke's ruined beauty — the face like melted rubber, a Silly Putty tragedy mask — became the living embodiment of a character who had battered himself, body and soul, into a hulking wreck of flesh. And, of course, the whole comeback scenario itself, which resonated uniquely beyond the edges of the movie screen, so that Rourke seemed to be acting out a metaphorical version of his own teary-eyed resilience. The Wrestler was as canny and artful a platform as a matinee-idol–turned–macho-freak– turned–Hollywood-has-been–turned–great-actor-all-over-again could possibly have hoped for. But given that, what could Mickey Rourke do for an encore?
Just about the first thing he did was extremely shrewd. With the red carpet now rolled out for him (though for how long, no one could guess), he struck while the awards glow was hot and signed on to play the villain in Iron Man 2, thereby proving his viability as a mainstream star. It was a resolutely ace move, because in Hollywood today, you're either bankable or you're nobody, and Rourke, it's clear, had had enough of being nobody. As the Russian superbaddie Ivan Vanko, whipping around those high-voltage lightning lanyards, brooding in his lab, Rourke is just fine: a Slavic brute with a heart of stone. But when you hear the actor talk about how he worked for months on his Russian accent, you can't help but wish that there was a little more to the character — that Vanko's hatred of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark weren't so one-dimensional, that it led to somewhere where Rourke could really, you know, act.
The point is that he gets the job done; he does the cartoon-evil comic-book dance. And that dutiful marionette spirit — the thing that to me, frankly, limits his performance — is what makes Rourke, in Iron Man 2, come off as such a good Hollywood soldier, an actor who paid his dues, stretched his art wings, and is now ready to rock according to the industry's franchise terms. And make no mistake: Rourke is such a supple actor that in his big, beefy hands, playing the game looks not so much cynical as downright invigorating. On Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, he was funny and punchy and loose, with a lot less of that woeful abashment that marked his publicity appearances at the time of The Wrestler. This time, Rourke worked the angle of grooving on his success, and it looked good on him. You could even see bits of the old Rourke coming through, the one from the '80s who would bat his James Dean eyelashes and curl his Elvis lips and make flirting seem like the highest form of sincerity. For a moment, you almost forget that Rourke now resembles Elvis Frankenstein.
And that's the real issue, isn't it? What can an actor who's as great as Mickey Rourke, but who now looks the way that Mickey Rourke looks, do to find his place in a movie culture now dominated by facile, airy youthful beauty? For openers, he'll be seen later this summer, playing a character named Tool in The Expendables, a retro action thriller, directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, that gathers together many a grade-B star from the '80s. And Rourke is reportedly in talks to star as Sonny Barger in a Hells Angels movie to be directed by Tony Scott, which could be an inspired role for him.
But can't you already see the pattern here? The comeback of Mickey Rourke may indeed stick, because with his scarred façade and sensitive roughneck mystique, he's a naturally stylized bruiser-saint who could corner the market on a certain type of pulp action-comix testosterone-on-steroids cachet. The irony is that where he was once odd man out, he's now odd man in; he can fit all too snugly into a movie industry that is now built, to a large degree, on stylized, action-brute, anti-psychological characters. But I also hope that the new, iron-man Mickey Rourke keeps looking for adventurous chances to act. I hope that he thinks outside the box, instead of getting trapped in a box of new-style hipster-hulk typecasting.
Which leads me to ask: How would you cast Mickey Rourke? What sort of role would you now like to see him take on? Should he play a thriller demigod, a Mob boss, Stanley Kowalski, or maybe a middle-aged art-house chick-flick romantic hero paired with…whom? And do you think that Hollywood is going to respond to his comeback by doing him justice, or turning him into an outsize cartoon?

Time flies. I just remembered that my blog's first anniversary has come and gone. You see, I started this blog on 20 September 2011 as an offshoot to my previous effort, Diary of an amateur vampirologist. Amazing. It's been more than a year, already.
You've probably noticed I haven't been updating as much of late. Life's been getting in the way. Also, few things have been inspiring me to write here. I don't see this blog as a 'job', so much as an outlet of expression. I only write about vampy things that interest me—and not much has been piquing my interest in the vampire world, lately. At least, not enough to write about.
For instance, I did wind up watching the Dark shadows remake—on DVD. It was as shite as I expected it to be. House of dark shadows (1970) is far-superior to Burton's airbrushed comedy-horror. See that, instead.
That's not to say I've been totally dormant. I've been active in my role as co-admin of The Highgate Cemetery Vampire Appreciation Society. The group's anniversary's coming up on 27 October. Come join us!
The thing that broke the dryspell was being tipped-off about the 30 October 2012 Jonathan Ferguson lecture. I'm genuinely excited by that. If I was anywhere near Leeds, I'd be there in a heartbeat! If you're able, check it out.
|Dr Leo Ruickbie's witchcraft blog
Ferguson wrote the brilliant 'To kill a vampire' article for Fortean Times, no. 288 (2012). Grab that issue (left) if you can. It features another excellent article, by Leo Ruickbie. Readers may recognise him as the author of A brief guide to the supernatural (2012).
A brief guide serves as a classic example to why you (ok, I) shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I was expecting a threadbare pop-culture treatment, but it's incredibly well-researched. Ruickbie certainly knows his stuff. I bought it along with a stack of other books in my latest 'book spree'. Stay tuned for a write-up on that.
Speaking of things to watch out for, my Amazon trawlings have upturned a cache of upcoming books I'm really enthused about. What did I find? Stay tuned for that, too!
I mentioned that not much had been interesting me in the vampire world of late, but there is something that caught my attention. Andrew M. Boylan recently interviewed Mark Devendorf and Mauricio Chernovetzky—who're responsible for an upcoming adaptation of J. Sheridan LeFanu's 'Carmilla', Styria.
There was a particular portion of the interview I found particularly intriguing:
T_ttlg: Your research tied suicide with vampirism… more specifically mass suicides. Could you tell us more about that?
MC: Yes, what Mark and I realized was that Vampirism not only occurred in the past, but it still happening today. Sociologists and psychologists have simply given it a more scientific name: "Suicide Clusters."MD: These cases all follow a similar pattern: In a small community or town, one person dies or commits suicide. Soon another person, usually a friend or relative is haunted by the dead person until they fall ill or kill themselves. Soon, then the "infection" spreads until dozens are dead. Barring communicable diseases, the only explanation pre-modern villagers had was the supernatural notion they called "Vampirism."
It sounds like a compelling theory and I'd love to read more on it, but I'd give it credence if suicides were a predominant characteristic of vampire cases. They're not.
The pattern's similar, mind you—someone in the community or family dies; those visited by their 'ghost' die soon after. Repeat.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the members of this blog, my readers and casual browsers, alike. You guys make it worthwhile. Cheers!

Lively melodrama from the author of six family-centric novels (Into Thin Air, 1993, etc.) in the vein of Jacquelyn Mitchard or Jane Hamilton.
Middle-aged Manhattan book-designer Gary Breyer—orphaned as an infant and raised by a now-dead aunt—watched all his friends marry, breed, and move to the suburbs. He'd resigned himself to a solitary life until he meets Molly Goldman, a redheaded New Jersey schoolteacher (and fellow orphan). After a whirlwind romance, the two marry. But a few days after giving birth to their first child, Otis, Molly's uterus begins to fill with blood and she grows increasingly ill, falling into a coma. Gary takes a leave from work, hires a German nurse (a well-drawn character who provides much-needed comic relief), and begins sifting through medical Web sites in search of information about Molly's condition. As her illness continues seemingly without end, Gary's slimy boss fires him. Gary, in turn, fires the expensive nurse and begs Suzanne, Molly's estranged older sister (a beauty who ran off to California with her rock musician boyfriend when she was 17), to come back east and help take care of Otis. Destitute and friendless, Suzanne readily agrees. When she arrives, however, she behaves like a stubborn teenager: incessantly smoking around Otis, refusing to perform even the simplest household tasks, letting the baby cry endlessly. Then she and Gary spend the night together, caring for the colicky Otis, and Suzanne develops affection for both the son and his father (who has taken a job as a night watchman). Slowly, she evolves into the model aunt and sister-in-law—except that, unfortunately, she's developed a fierce crush on Gary.
Realistic, well-plotted, eminently readable portrait of a family in crisis—and an improvement on Leavitt's usual formula.

The importance of community health centers
An article by Kim Custer from themorningcall.com addresses the issue of community health centers, specifically women's health centers like Planned Parenthood. She says:
"Today, one in four women who receives contraceptive care does so at a women's health center. One in six who obtains a Pap test or a pelvic exam does so at a women's health center, as do one-third of women who receive counseling, testing or treatment for sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. This basic health care is essential, particularly during difficult economic times, to give women the tools they need to protect and support their families. This is particularly true when you consider that women of childbearing age spend a remarkable 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men, in part because of reproductive health-related needs."
These numbers are too significant to ignore. Community health clinics are vital to the reproductive and sexual health of women.
One Response
For me, this community is very important to increase our knowledge of health

They are not "alt-right," they are white supremacists
"Alt-right" has got to go.
Donald Trump has emboldened white supremacists across the country to emerge from the sewers of the extreme right wing into the light of day. But before Trump's rise to power, white supremacists got a 21st century rebrand.1
Richard Spencer, an infamous white supremacist who wants to create an Aryan homeland for dispossessed white people, coined the term "alt-right" in 2008.2 He wanted to encapsulate extremist right-wing ideals of "white identity" and the preservation of "Western civilization" and make room for a different kind of conservative.3 What he has really made room for is a new kind of white supremacist, unburdened by the negative baggage of Klan robes or Nazi swastikas.
When traditional corporate media outlets call today's white supremacists "alt-right," they sanitize and normalize a movement that seeks to reverse decades of civil rights gains and solidify white power and privilege, using violence if necessary. They need to stop.
Tell traditional corporate media outlets: Call white supremacy what it is. Stop using the term "alt-right."
Earlier this month, white supremacists spent almost 24 hours violently promoting their white resentment and rage in Charlottesville, Virginia. Their torchlit cries of "white lives matter," "Jews will not replace us," "one people, one nation, end immigration" and "heil Trump" gave way to fights with counter protesters and finally a terror attack that killed one counter protester and injured almost 20 more.
What white supremacists planned in Charlottesville was more like a military invasion than a protest.4 They seemed more committed to inciting violence and raising the profile of their extremist movement than staging a peaceful rally.5
Trump led the way in condoning their terrifying actions and communicating to them that he is on their side.6 The tweeter-in-chief was silent while torch- and assault-weapon-carrying racists marched through the streets. When he first spoke out on Saturday, he shamefully blamed "many sides" for the violence. It took him 48 hours to condemn racist violence and white supremacy, 48 hours that white supremacists celebrated as a victory and a rallying point.
But the media played a powerful role as well. Though most outlets condemned Trump's refusal to call out racism in his initial statement, they repeatedly referred to the white supremacist Nazi terrorists as protesters and their race riot as a rally or clash.7,8 They gave space to guests who tried to strike false equivalencies between the white supremacists and anti-racist counter protesters or the Black LIves Matter movement more broadly. This is not the time for the media to normalize white supremacists as conventional political actors wearing suits and ties and pretend that there are two sides to white supremacy and Nazism. As Van Jones pointed out while blasting Trump:
This is a day in which… an American citizen was assassinated in broad daylight by a Nazi. A Nazi, who the day before had been marching with torches down American streets saying anti-Jewish, anti-black stuff… this not a time to talk about both sides.9
When it comes to this kind of hate, there are not many sides. There are not two sides. The media needs to do better and we need to force them to act.
Tell media outlets: Stop normalizing and sanitizing white supremacy.
Until yesterday, the Associated Press Stylebook raised flags about the use of "alt-right" in media coverage of the white supremacy movement, and suggested that reporters "avoid" using the term but did not go as far as recommending that reporters not use it.10 In response to the violence in Charlottesville, they took a slightly stronger stance. They still suggested that writers "avoid" the term but also called out "alt-right" as a "euphemism to disguise racist aims."11
These guidelines, which reporters and editors do not even consistently follow, are not enough. Outlets that use "alt-right" are dignifying white supremacy's horrific racism, xenophobia, misogyny, anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ hate. That's why ThinkProgress stopped using the term last November.12 Other media outlets should follow their lead.
Tell media outlets: Call white supremacy what it is. Stop using the term "alt-right."

We are all given a trust and must prove faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2).
An important part of stewardship is the review of financial records to reduce risk of loss, improve confidence of those who give, and help protect our church. Our canons require an annual review with report to be made to the Diocesan Office no later than September 1st.
To simplify this process and keep costs low, the Finance Committee established the Financial Review Team with members who are experienced and knowledgeable in Episcopal Church financial systems. Their role is to examine and review church accounts to determine that funds coming in, going out, or being held are accounted for, managed and reported appropriately.
Because of past experience, the diocese presumes use of FRT services unless told differently. Congregations may use an independent audit by a CPA or request the Finance Committee's permission to use an outside financial reviewer.
Review Process
A congregations will be sent a "Starting Your Review with FRT" packet. Performing a review typically takes up to 60 days to complete.
A Note on Clergy Discretionary Funds.
A copy of the review report of any clergy discretionary funds must be returned as well. These reviews are most often performed by a cleric not connected to the congregation. The Financial Review Team may conduct this review at additional charge.
Financial Review Team Rates
Congregations alternate between an on-site or a form only review.
• Form submission & on-site visit: $450
• Form submission only: $300
• Affiliated organization or entity:
$50 per hour
A $100 surcharge may be assessed for poor preparation or lack of materials resulting in an excessive amount of time to conduct the review.
Fees may be reduced or waived by the Finance Committee following a written request sent to the Diocesan Treasurer.
2019 Review Types
Looking for Forms
If you have misplaced the documents or forms mailed to the congregation, please contact the Diocesan Office to request replacement forms.

Joel Sloane, a bibliophile and amateur sleuth, is commissioned by befuddled grocery tycoon Christopher Oates to purchase an original Shakespeare manuscript from millionaire Nicholas Torrent. When Joel meets with Torrent's insurer, he learns that the insurance company suspects that Torrent's business affairs are improper, and he agrees to investigate the Torrent estate in exchange for an invitation to the Torrent house. Soon after Joel and his wife Garda take up residence in the Torrent mansion, a Shakespearian manuscript is stolen from Vincent Charlton, a family friend and Torrent's broker, who was examining the document, and Joel suspects Torrent's son Gerald of the theft. Joel questions Gerald, whose pencil was found on the floor near the safe after the robbery. When Gerald finds Joel's questioning too inquisitive, he reaches for his gun, but Joel disarms him. Later, Gerald places a call to Bobby Neville, the flirtatious girl friend of nightclub owner "Lucky" Nolan, and reports that the operation went haywire. Joel eavesdrops on the conversation and decides that a visit to Bobby will provide him with clues to the case. After he enters Bobby's room, however, the police rush in, and he is arrested along with Bobby in connection with the murder of Nicholas Torrent. Other suspects in Torrent's murder include Gerald, who stands to gain millions from his father's death; Phil Sergeant, the librarian, who is in love with Torrent's daughter Christina; and Lucky Nolan, to whom Gerald is in debt. Realizing that the stolen manuscript was actually a forgery, Joel asks police inspector Forbes to keep silent about the fake, hoping to force the manuscript's purchaser to reveal himself. Following his only lead, Joel visits Nolan, but soon realizes that the nightclub owner is innocent, his only interest being in the collection of Gerald's gambling debt. When Joel returns to the Torrent estate, he learns that Phil's only crime was in trying to protect Gerald, who had pawned the manuscript in order to pay his gambling debt. Soon after, Stockton, the owner of the purloined authentic manuscript, demands to meet with Joel and drives to the Torrent estate. Before he can show Joel the manuscript, however, Stockton is murdered and the transcript is found in Gerald's room. Believing that Gerald has been framed, Joel is at a loss for leads until Charlton decides to sell the manuscript for the Torrent family. Joel becomes suspicious after he advises Charlton that the manuscript is a fake and that he should file an insurance claim. When Charlton refuses to let him see the document, Joel realizes that he must have sold the original to Stockton and then murdered Torrent when he discovered the broker's duplicity.

Cooling Off At The White Sands Beach Resort
Aloha TWA family, last weekend has been amazing spending my Saturday at one of the best beaches in Ghana. Don't even know what to start writing about, the food, the beach, the buildings, the views? really don't know where to start from but I definitely know it was an amazing experience at the White Sands Beach Resort and Spa.
A little over an hour drive from Accra to Gomoa Fetteh sits the beautiful White sands beach not too far away from Tills beach. White sands beach is a club but it's open to the public from Mondays to Saturdays. Non members of the resort are expected to pay an amount of Ghs110 per adult as entrance fee. There's a swimming pool, beach, bar, spa and rooms to spend the weekend.
The resort has this African, contemporary and luxurious feel that makes you never want to leave. It's so unique and breath taking. The environment is very relaxing and quite with just few people around, mostly expatriates. I fell in love with almost everything here. The unique buildings, their kitchen decor, the pool(made with stones) the cabana over looking the sea, the art works in the bar and other little details.
The beach is separated from the resort so in order to get to the beach, you'll have to cross the Kalo lagoon by standing on a plastic floating platform which takes less than 3minutes to cross. This experience very much reminds me of Bojo beach and I enjoyed every bit of it. I've included lots of pictures and a video below to help you experience the moment with me.

Love, April.

Looks great – and it's somewhere in Ghana that I haven't been to before, so I'll put it on my list of places to visit!

Fine-grained auditing in SQL Server?
Yes, via a variety of mechanisms, but it isn't an option you turn on.
Method #1: Write triggers underneath each table that log all of the auditing information.
Method #2: Create a server side trace that will trace all activity against your database, storing the file where you can pull it for review.
Method #3 (low transaction volumes only): Create a server-side trace and store the results directly to a table in your database.
Method #4: Use a product like Lumigent's Entegra to audit the system.

I thought this was interesting - there is a way that you can globally force Windows to use short filenames (also known as 8.3 filenames because they were limited to 8 characters for the name and 3 characters for the extension) or alternatively allow Windows to use long filenames that are not bound to the 8.3 naming restrictions. This is the key name and value:
- Key name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
- Value name: Win31FileSystem
- Data type: REG_DWORD
Setting this value to 0 will allow Windows to use long filenames. Setting this value to 1 will force Windows to use short filenames.
When you use the SHORTFILENAMES property in Windows Installer, that is the equivalent of forcing 8.3 filenames but only for a single MSI installation. This registry key controls 8.3 file naming for the entire system, and I have seen this be the cause of 1325 errors ('[2]' is not a valid short file name) when installing MSI packages in some rare cases.
Some setup authors do not pay attention to the setting in the file table for the short file name value and inadvertantly provide a short file name that is greater than 8 characters long. Then when someone tries to install that MSI on a system that has the Win31FileSystem value = 1 or the SHORTFILENAMES property set, they get a 1325 error. For example, you will see this if you try to install Visual Studio .NET 2003 on a machine that has this registry value set because we did not pay enough attention to the short file name values we provided in the MSI. One of the files has a short file name value of "Microsoft" which has 9 characters instead of 8.

So, I take Judah to alot of playgroups. Homer is a nice little town and rates highly in the 'fun activities for babies' criteria…I hear that Bethel is really lacking playgroups (but I actually have friends there) and while Fairbanks has it's own share of baby oriented events (and friends), I would have to, you know, drive alot further to reach them. I certainly would not walk to them. Thus, Homer wins out again, I suppose. The thing is though, people overhear me at these playgroups asking Judah if she needs to use the bathroom and they look at me in a strange manner and ask me if she is potty trained. This provokes eye rolling on my part, as the answer is complicated and if I go into it attempting to explain, they will think I'm crazy and probably won't even believe me, so the question leaves me at a loss for an answer.
I'm sure I have mentioned this before, when I tell people about elimination communication, they think I'm nuts. They tell me it does not work. (Oh, really?) They say it's terribly hard. Gross. Complicated. Biologically impossible. I just really don't understand, I mean, what is not to embrace about not changing diapers?
So anyway, the ridiculous thing is that I am in the midst of writing an (overdue) essay about elimination communication for my English class. Perhaps I shall begin passing my Finished Product out to those who question me regarding Judah's "elimination" habits. I suppose our playgroups provide a general demographic of people who represent the targeted audience of my argument. Perhaps my essay with it's strong thesis and several supporting reasons would succeed at convincing individuals of what is apparently biological normal anyway. But wouldn't the cost effectiveness be a convincing factor in and of itself? For instance, imagine spending less than $200 on diapers (which are reusable even, as they are cloth!) for a child (such as i did…) as opposed to spending between $2,000 – $3,000 which is the average spent for conventionally potty trained and disposable diapered children. Or the environmental factor…no washing diapers, no diapers in the trash, but poo and pee in the potty, as a reasonable alternative! Or the convenience of the brilliant scheme! I have never packed around a diaper bag. Zach, (five month old) Judah and I were stranded in Anchorage once with no diapers of any kind, but as sense would dictate, we did have a tiny toilet for our small child, and she used it and never once had need of a diaper. In a similar situation, I was stranded at a conference in Girdwood once, for three days with (six month old) Judah sans diapers…we had one small pee incident. One!
The other ridiculous thing is, a lady followed me home in her car one day, yelling out of her window to me, "are you the one who potty trained her baby?" So I gave her a book about ec, called Diaper Free Baby by Christine Gross-Loh. The book is now in the process of being passed around to various pregnant women at the playgroup. Hopefully they will read it and learn.
It's easy! It's simple! I only wonder, why would someone choose not to practice ec?
I should add…I do have nice friends in Homer. But still, I resent the fact that most of the people I know and love live in two far away destinations.

Getting Started with IPv6 for Amazon VPC
Create a VPC that supports IPv6 addressing.
To complete this exercise, do the following:
Create a nondefault VPC with an IPv6 CIDR block and a single public subnet. Subnets enable you to group instances based on your security and operational needs. A public subnet is a subnet that has access to the Internet through an Internet gateway.
Create a security group for your instance that allows traffic only through specific ports.
Launch an Amazon EC2 instance into your subnet, and associate an IPv6 address with your instance during launch. An IPv6 address is globally unique, and allows your instance to communicate with the Internet.
For more information about IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, see IP Addressing in Your VPC.
Before you can use Amazon VPC for the first time, you must sign up for Amazon Web Services (AWS). When you sign up, your AWS account is automatically signed up for all services in AWS, including Amazon VPC. If you haven't created an AWS account already, go to https://aws.amazon.com/ and choose Create a Free Account.
Step 1: Create the VPC
In this step, you use the Amazon VPC wizard in the Amazon VPC console to create a VPC. By default, the wizard performs the following steps for you:
Creates a VPC with a /16 IPv4 CIDR block and associates a /56 IPv6 CIDR block with the VPC. For more information, see Your VPC. The size of the IPv6 CIDR block is fixed (/56) and the range of IPv6 addresses is automatically allocated from Amazon's pool of IPv6 addresses (you cannot select the range yourself).
Attaches an Internet gateway to the VPC. For more information about Internet gateways, see Internet Gateways.
Creates a subnet with an /24 IPv4 CIDR block and a /64 IPv6 CIDR block in the VPC. The size of the IPv6 CIDR block is fixed (/64).
Creates a custom route table, and associates it with your subnet, so that traffic can flow between the subnet and the Internet gateway. For more information about route tables, see Route Tables.
This exercise covers the first scenario in the VPC wizard. For more information about the other scenarios, see Scenarios for Amazon VPC.
To create a VPC using the Amazon VPC wizard
Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.
In the navigation bar, on the top-right, take note of the region in which you'll be creating the VPC. Ensure that you continue working in the same region for the rest of this exercise, as you cannot launch an instance into your VPC from a different region. For more information, see Regions and Availability Zones in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
In the navigation pane, choose VPC dashboard and choose Launch VPC Wizard.
Do not choose Your VPCs in the navigation pane; you cannot access the VPC wizard using the Create VPC button on that page.
Choose the option for the configuration you want to implement, for example, VPC with a Single Public Subnet, and then choose Select.
On the configuration page, enter a name for your VPC for VPC name; for example,
my-vpc, and enter a name for your subnet for Subnet name. This helps you to identify the VPC and subnet in the Amazon VPC console after you've created them.
For IPv4 CIDR block, you can leave the default setting (
10.0.0.0/16), or specify your own. For more information, see VPC Sizing.
For IPv6 CIDR block, choose Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block.
For Public subnet's IPv4 CIDR, leave the default setting, or specify your own. For Public subnet's IPv6 CIDR, choose Specify a custom IPv6 CIDR. You can leave the default hexadecimal pair value for the IPv6 subnet (
Leave the rest of the default configurations on the page, and choose Create VPC.
A status window shows the work in progress. When the work completes, choose OK to close the status window.
The Your VPCs page displays your default VPC and the VPC that you just created.
Viewing Information About Your VPC
After you've created the VPC, you can view information about the subnet, Internet gateway, and route tables. The VPC that you created has two route tables — a main route table that all VPCs have by default, and a custom route table that was created by the wizard. The custom route table is associated with your subnet, which means that the routes in that table determine how the traffic for the subnet flows. If you add a new subnet to your VPC, it uses the main route table by default.
To view information about your VPC
Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.
In the navigation pane, choose Your VPCs. Take note of the name and the ID of the VPC that you created (look in the Name and VPC ID columns). You use this information to identify the components that are associated with your VPC.
In the navigation pane, choose Subnets. The console displays the subnet that was created when you created your VPC. You can identify the subnet by its name in Name column, or you can use the VPC information that you obtained in the previous step and look in the VPC column.
In the navigation pane, choose Internet Gateways. You can find the Internet gateway that's attached to your VPC by looking at the VPC column, which displays the ID and the name (if applicable) of the VPC.
In the navigation pane, choose Route Tables. There are two route tables associated with the VPC. Select the custom route table (the Main column displays No), and then choose the Routes tab to display the route information in the details pane:
The first two rows in the table are the local routes, which enable instances within the VPC to communicate over IPv4 and IPv6. You can't remove these routes.
The next row shows the route that the Amazon VPC wizard added to enable traffic destined for an IPv4 address outside the VPC (
0.0.0.0/0) to flow from the subnet to the Internet gateway.
The next row shows the route that enables traffic destined for an IPv6 address outside the VPC (
::/0) to flow from the subnet to the Internet gateway.
Select the main route table. The main route table has a local route, but no other routes.
Step 2: Create a Security Group
A security group acts as a virtual firewall to control the traffic for its associated instances. To use a security group, add the inbound rules to control incoming traffic to the instance, and outbound rules to control the outgoing traffic from your instance. To associate a security group with an instance, specify the security group when you launch the instance.
Your VPC comes with a default security group. Any instance not
associated with another security group during launch is associated with the default
security group. In this exercise, you create a new security group,
WebServerSG, and specify this security group when you launch an
instance into your VPC.
Creating Your WebServerSG Security Group
You can create your security group using the Amazon VPC console.
To create the WebServerSG security group and add rules
Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc/.
In the navigation pane, choose Security Groups, Create Security Group.
For Group name, enter
WebServerSGas the name of the security group and provide a description. You can optionally use the Name tag field to create a tag for the security group with a key of
Nameand a value that you specify.
Select the ID of your VPC from the VPC menu and choose Yes, Create.
Select the
WebServerSGsecurity group that you just created (you can view its name in the Group Name column).
On the Inbound Rules tab, choose Edit and add rules for inbound traffic as follows:
For Type, choose HTTP and enter
::/0in the Source field.
Choose Add another rule, For Type, choose HTTPS, and then enter
::/0in the Source field.
Choose Add another rule. If you're launching a Linux instance, choose SSH for Type, or if you're launching a Windows instance, choose RDP. Enter your network's public IPv6 address range in the Source field. If you don't know this address range, you can use
::/0for this exercise.
If you use
::/0, you enable all IPv6 addresses to access your instance using SSH or RDP. This is acceptable for the short exercise, but it's unsafe for production environments. In production, authorize only a specific IP address or range of addresses to access your instance.
Choose Save.
Step 3: Launch an Instance
When you launch an EC2 instance into a VPC, you must specify the subnet in which to launch the instance. In this case, you'll launch an instance into the public subnet of the VPC you created. Use the Amazon EC2 launch wizard in the Amazon EC2 console to launch your instance.
To ensure that your instance is accessible from the Internet, assign an IPv6 address from the subnet range to the instance during launch. This ensures that your instance can communicate with the Internet over IPv6.
To launch an EC2 instance into a VPC
Before you launch the EC2 instance into the VPC, configure the subnet of the VPC to automatically assign IPv6 IP addresses. For more information, see Modifying the IPv6 Addressing Attribute for Your Subnet.
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
In the navigation bar, on the top-right, ensure that you select the same region in which you created your VPC and security group.
From the dashboard, choose Launch Instance.
On the first page of the wizard, choose the AMI to use. For this exercise, we recommend that you choose an Amazon Linux AMI or a Windows AMI.
On the Choose an Instance Type page, you can select the hardware configuration and size of the instance to launch. By default, the wizard selects the first available instance type based on the AMI that you selected. You can leave the default selection and choose Next: Configure Instance Details.
On the Configure Instance Details page, select the VPC that you created from the Network list and the subnet from the Subnet list.
For Auto-assign IPv6 IP, choose Enable.
Leave the rest of the default settings, and go through the next pages of the wizard until you get to the Add Tags page.
On the Add Tags page, you can tag your instance with a
Nametag; for example
Name=MyWebServer. This helps you to identify your instance in the Amazon EC2 console after you've launched it. Choose Next: Configure Security Group when you are done.
On the Configure Security Group page, the wizard automatically defines the launch-wizard-x security group to allow you to connect to your instance. Instead, choose the Select an existing security group option, select the WebServerSG group that you created previously, and then choose Review and Launch.
On the Review Instance Launch page, check the details of your instance and choose Launch.
In the Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair dialog box, you can choose an existing key pair, or create a new one. If you create a new key pair, ensure that you download the file and store it in a secure location. You need the contents of the private key to connect to your instance after it's launched.
To launch your instance, select the acknowledgment check box and choose Launch Instances.
On the confirmation page, choose View Instances to view your instance on the Instances page. Select your instance, and view its details in the Description tab. The Private IPs field displays the private IPv4 address that's assigned to your instance from the range of IPv4 addresses in your subnet. The IPv6 IPs field displays the IPv6 address that's assigned to your instance from the range of IPv6 addresses in your subnet.
For more information about the options available in the Amazon EC2 launch wizard, see Launching an Instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances.
You can connect to your instance through its IPv6 address using SSH or Remote Desktop from your home network. Your local computer must have an IPv6 address and must be configured to use IPv6. For more information about how to connect to a Linux instance, see Connecting to Your Linux Instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Linux Instances. For more information about how to connect to a Windows instance, see Connect to Your Windows Instance Using RDP in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Windows Instances.
If you also want your instance to be accessible via an IPv4 address over the Internet, SSH, or RDP, you must associate an Elastic IP address (a static public IPv4 address) to your instance, and you must adjust your security group rules to allow access over IPv4. For more information, see Getting Started with Amazon VPC.

Dear Abby
My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job five years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and bullshit with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?
Dear Clueless
Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don' t need him anymore. You're a United States Senator from New York . Act like one.
