How long can you survive the post-apocalyptic wastelands of NEO Scavenger? In the near-future, supernatural activity and human warfare have fragmented mankind into pockets of civilization struggling to survive in wild and dangerous lands. You awaken alone in an abandoned facility with no food nor water, and only a hospital gown and some mysterious items as clues to your identity. NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse!

... win98. It's at least as secure as XP...
Did you just say that with a straight face? 98 runs NTFS now (natively, non third party)? 98 can enforce user login? 98 can enforce policies? When did this happen? Is 98 even supported any more... I thought that the patch cycle for 98 and 98se was stopped a while back.
Now on to this anti-piracy kick that MS is on. They are going to do nothing other than drive some enterprise customers away... the harder it is to install/administer the less likely it is that large enterprises are to run it. I don't doubt that many organizations will be looking to RH/Sun/*nix for an easy fix. This could very well be the impetus that many of those organizations are looking for to make the move.

Ok, you got me there. But, you know what I meant.
Sorry, phishphreek, didn't mean to sound so condescending. I do know what you mean. He-heh, I feel kinda sorry for all those users who will be trying to drive Vista without a license.
Well, I don't know if it has changed, but even with XP ( when I first started using it ) as I recall allowed for 30 day installs for learning purposes.
Thanks, IKnowNot. I didn't realize there was an "educational" clause of sorts in M$'s EULA. 30 days for learning purposes?
Would that be 30 EARTH days? Is that spelled out in their EULA?
Is it just me? I find some of the EULAs to be the most convoluted and obtuse documents since the great and notorious Indian treaties of the 19th century.

>I feel kinda sorry for all those users who will be trying to drive Vista without a license.<
The problem is with Microsoft. I had two brand new HP desktops with licenses on the case, properly registered happily getting updates. Microsoft switched over to version 6 of their update site and "Genuine Advantage" and suddenly both of these boxes were "un genuine" because I was trying to reach thru a proxy server.
I had to manually download the updates using "administrator options", basically the version 4 update site.
Now give Microsoft the power to "tag" a computer and strip its effectiveness if it decides a license is bogus, how many hours will genuine users spend on the phone with MS tech support?
Another issue is how many changes or hardware updates are you allowed to your box before Gates and Ballmer decide your license is no longer genuine?
It may very well be time to move my home network to Linux. We already use Firefox for the net, Gmail for mail, OpenOffice as our office suite. Gates can take his new OS and play with himself.
"Somehow saying I told you so just doesn't cover it" Will Smith in I, Robot
Did you just say that with a straight face? 98 runs NTFS now (natively, non third party)? 98 can enforce user login? 98 can enforce policies? When did this happen?
98 is secure against remote attack. Since my (admittedly narrow) definition
of security doesn't regard the user as a threat against his own PC, all that other
stuff is unimportant in my choice of a PC operating system. Policies? Bah, get
a mainframe and give users a dumb terminal. Let them try to install solitaire
on that!
I have installed my licensed copy on other machines a few times to see how XP would react to different things such as partitioning software, drivers, updates, etc., and all was acceptable within the EULA as long as I deleted it when I was finished learning .
I've gone over MS's standard EULA for the home edition, and find nothing about "acceptable learning". Check for yourself. Obviously, there's a number of EULA's, but I have my doubts MS allows the kinds of installs you're describing under their standard EULA's. If you can show me the language of their EULA allowing such installs, I'd be very interested. If I get a chance, I'll check a volume licensing agreement in our MS licensing packs at work (new job!). And with Vista's licensing technology, I can't imagine that kind of install being validated and authenticated.
If it wasn't I don't think there would be any admin that wasn't in violation!
Yep, that's pretty much what I was getting at. D@mn shame we gotta be sneakin' around just to learn what we need to know to support our users.
I'm sure that odds being what they are, one of these will be pirated...

I've gone over MS's standard EULA for the home edition, and find nothing about "acceptable learning".
Yes, I was mistaken about it being in the EULA ( I just checked my XP Pro disk.)
As I now recall ( age is a bitch ) it came from amendments to it on one of Microsoft's tech sites. It specifically spelled out what could and could not be done ( was intended specifically for testing such as I described. ) I am a stickler for trying my best to comply with licenses and such which is why I remember it.
I just did a Google search for it but don't have time right now to sift through all those pages referring to Academic and Educational Institution licenses, Vista testing, etc.
I printed it somewhere several years back, if I find it I'll let you know. I think there was even some discussion here at one time concerning it. Maybe Nhil remembers?
" And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be" --Miguel Cervantes
Firstly, let me make it clear that I am not a Microsoft basher...........we all know that VMS is the only true operating system.............. it is just that the garage space and the three phase power supply limit us?
Yes, we did have the discussion a while back.............. but I am getting old as well
One thing I have to say in Microsoft's favour is that they have NEVER refused to help me, and have never refused a reasonable request. Yes, I have done things that might not be strictly within the Law, but it has not been to their detriment.............well not over here at least?
In the UK they would have to prove intent to defraud and material loss, for instance...............
I do recall what IKnowNot is saying, and it was something along those lines.................... hey, they like as many frontline engineers who work for free as they can get?
I'm suprised that a simple article in USA today that doesn't even begin to cover all the technical details of how this will work is already generating such disdain for the new policies... Don't you think that MS is going to take into consideration how this works and make sure that they don't lose money by overloading their support services with what will amount to free tech support calls?
Also, centralized license management is much better than the way it is done now.. I don't know how many of you have had to audit an organization to make sure all of your software license are legit, but it is a hard and time consuming task. Give me the ability to do all of that from a centralized server, and make it work well(which is doesn't now) and I will take that over the current enter a key on install method any day... I don't see this causing that much more work for companies that plan properly and deploy in a smart manner. If anything it will make things much simpler for very large organizations..

An internal investigation at the City University of New York found that Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business purposely inflated the GPAs of about 15 students in their accelerated executive programs, the New York Post reported.The reason? Certain college officials wanted to keep making money off the tuition from students enrolled in the program, which included many Wall Streeters whose firms were paying for the classes, according to the Post. To do that, they had to inflate the grades of certain students who were bound to fail out of the program.
The accelerated programs allow people in business/finance to work full-time and obtain a master's degree in finance in a year, or an MBA in two years. Tuition for the programs range between $45,000 to $75,000.
From the Post—
"It was done for money," an insider said of the scam. "They get a lot more money from those students. They don't want to lose these people, so they changed their grades."
The result of the CUNY probe that uncovered the forgeries were reported to the Faculty Senate in March. Law enforcement officials have also been notified.
In addition, it appears that some students whose grades were inflated might not be able to hold onto their degrees, according to the Post.
Ouch. We just want to know which Wall Streeters were such bad students that they now have invalid business degrees.

Eastleigh's 828
Designed and built at Eastleigh in 1927, No. 828 was based at Salisbury shed for the whole of her working life until withdrawn in 1964. She had travelled a reputed 1,287,124 miles primarily carrying heavy freight over the main line between London and Exeter, as well as from Salisbury to Southampton and Eastleigh.
No. 828 was also frequently rostered to passenger duties including express holiday reliefs - remember the heydays when
most seaside resorts had a railway station?!
For seventeen years the locomotive gently deteriorated at Barry Scrapyard until 1981 when, with the assistance and support from Eastleigh Borough Council, she was rescued by the Eastleigh Railway Preservation Society. No. 828 was the 122nd
locomotive to leave Barry!
Twelve years and 30,000 hours of dedicated restoration work brings 828 full circle to the steaming, gleaming machine we see today. Since returning to steam, new ground has been broken and No. 828 has travelled many routes previously denied her, including the Settle-Carlisle and probably the highlight of her career to date, participating in the five-engine line-up at Liandudno Junction to mark the end of BR, where she was proud to be the chosen representative of the former
Southern Railway.
The prime person in the rescue and restoration of 828 was former Erecting Shop Foreman at Fastleigh Works, Harry Frith. His recollections, together with son Harry Frith (Jnr) and Chairman of ERPS Godfrey Olson, provide us with a fascinating account of this award-winning SiS Class locomotive. Superb archive footage, stills and of course,
the main line excursions undertaken since 828s return to work are included for your enjoyment.
The future of 828 depends on you! - by purchasing this video you will be contributing to that future.

Making the rounds right now is this William Shatner video (is there anything Shatner can't do?) about the hazards of deep frying your turkey (3:40 long).
Well, I've done it without burning down the house for the last two years; this video showing the set up and immersion without fire is just over 1 minute:
A longer and more complete version of turkey frying from two years ago, showing the results after cooking (2:52 long) is here. This year it's back to more old-fashioned techniques: one in a slow-smoker, and another on a BBQ rotisserie.

KP Oli was a smart kid from the beginning and had a sharp mind. He liked playing chess and encouraged others to take up the game as it helped in brain development, they recall. Besides, Oli also enjoyed playing football and used to make balls out of rags. He was good at scoring goals after successful dribbles, his childhood friend and distant nephew Padam Prasad Oli said. Those days, he liked writing nationalistic poems and reading those to friends, Padam Prasad continued. With help from communist leader Ramnath Dahal, Oli migrated to Jhapa in 1963 at the age of 12. Dahal was later killed in Sukhani Murders. Having been influenced by Marxist and Leninist philosophies, Oli entered communist politics in 1966.
Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

The bands record their Afternoon Songs
The Roe Family Singers are at the 331 Club in Minneapolis. They play here every Monday night, but tonight is a little different.
Quillan Roe, the leader of the group, is meeting with each member of the eight-piece band. He's giving them the words and chords to his version of Afternoon Song. Rich Rue, who plays the dobro, is squinting at the music sheet.
"I should have brought my glasses," Rue laughs. "I don't even know if I can read this, to tell you the truth. I'll just play a G note all the way through and I'll probably be fine."
He and the rest of the band don't seem worried at all about playing a song they've never heard before in front of a crowd. In fact, they're not really even looking at the music.
"I'm better off on a song like this just closing my eyes, and tuning in on what Quillan is doing and hopping on the bus," says Roe Family guitarist Dan Gaarder.
"Just by looking at the chords, I can't really tell what the melody is going to be like," Gaarder remarks. "So we're gonna be riding by the seat of our pants when he starts singing it tonight. So that's the fun of it. That's the beauty of music."
We're gonna be riding by the seat of our pants when he starts singing it tonight. That's the fun of it. That's the beauty of music."
A few minutes later, the Roe Family Singers take the stage. The eight-piece band fills up all of the tiny stage, and much of the floor space around it too. About 20 minutes into the show, Quillan leads into Afternoon Song. He seems a little nervous about playing the song, but his bandmates look ready.
At first, the members of the band are silent. They listen to what Quillan Roe is playing. As the song carries on, they figure it out and they start filling in. Everything clicks, and the song comes off sounding natural.
After the show, Roe is glowing with excitement.
"I loved it," he exclaims. "They're all excellent players, but I wasn't prepared for how well they'd do with it."
From the start of the project, Roe has felt the songs lyrics are too sunny for the band's style. And even though he feels like they got it right, he's still not ready to abandon the band's darker sound.
"There's nothing wrong with writing a happy song. It's something that I wish I could do. I wish that there was a part of me that said, 'OK, let's write a happy song, and let's be OK with it now.'"
Quillan Roe says that for him, Afternoon Song isn't really finished yet. The band will settle on a structure, but the song will sound a little different every time they play it live.
The Owls' approach is a little more deliberate. They're meticulous collaborators.
"I think that 'why' is still a little awkward for you to sing, and I wonder if one of us should sing it?" asks Maria May, vocalist and pianist with the band.
The Owls are at their St. Paul practice space a week before the project's deadline. They're almost done writing their version of Afternoon Song.
But they struggled to get there. One of the main rules of the project is bands can't cut words from the lyrics. So when Brian Tighe brought his song to his bandmates John Jerry, Maria May and Allison LaBonne, the first task was to make the sheer volume of words more manageable.
"And that was where Allison's suggestion of having a counter-melody over the chorus, where she took over the chorus I was singing before," says Tighe.
"Brian was singing all of these 'take one, take two, and then take 10, we make construction paper chains,' but now it's like he skips this line and we sing it. All the lines are in there, but musically it condensed the chorus," LaBonne explains.
It was a start. But LaBonne still had to make the lyrics match the structure of the song.
"What was so fun about this was getting to see The Owls as this machine, almost, this kind of machine that's -- hey, it's working pretty well."
"I want to fit the lyrics into the chorus -- that's like 'take one, take two, and then take ten, But it's the wrong length, the line is the wrong length," she says.
So, still sticking to the rules, LaBonne manipulated the words like magnetic poetry on a refrigerator.
"That's what I was thinking. I was like, if I scramble them around I can get the right length lines for the musical part that we have."
And even though the lyrics were difficult to deal with, LaBonne and Tighe agree that struggling with them was an important part of their songwriting.
"It definitely gave us more challenges, but maybe it made us write a more interesting piece," says LaBonne.
"Because it forced us to write a whole new melody, and maybe that made the ending more exciting," Tighe added.
For Allison LaBonne, this project was about more than just putting words to music.
"What was so fun about this was getting to see The Owls as this machine, almost, this kind of machine that's -- hey, it's working pretty well."
Matt Wilson had a problem with the rules. In fact, he broke one of the primary ones when he cut out some of the lyrics from Stephen Burt's song.
Matt is over this. This is ancient history -- he is long gone as far as that's concerned.
Wilson is at the studio phase of his particular journey. In the studio, he has four hours to craft this particular song, and he is both worried about that and psyched.
"It's fun to have a gun to your head and just record it now," he says.
Wilson called on an all-star cast of musicians to back him up, including Adam Levy of the Honeydogs on guitar, Eric Fawcett on drums and former Trip Shakespeare and Flops bandmate John Munson on upright bass.
The song he brought to the studio was the same one he hammered out at home, but with one new wrinkle. Wilson recorded friends and relatives reading the words he had orginally eliminated, and created a spoken word montage to be inserted on the fly after the first chorus.
"I just grabbed the lines that I just didn't feel like I could say," he says.
The musicians didn't hear the song until they came to the studio. After they got set up, Wilson taught them the chords, and things immediately started coming together. Wilson was probably most surprised by what drummer Eric Fawcett came up with.
"Eric played this really authoritative, simple part, and I was expecting something a little more ornate and diddly, but it was very convincing and so I went with it," Wilson says.
The other member of the rhythm section, John Munson, gave Wilson what he wanted -- a steady, deceptively simple bass line.
Meanwhile, Adam Levy experimented with guitar leads almost right up until the last take.
They settled on a straight-ahead, uncluttered mid-tempo rock song. And they all liked it.
Wilson says the project didn't inspire any revelations. But he says it reminded him of how he's loosened up as a songwriter.
Years ago, he probably would have been too self-conscious to take part in the project. His feelings are mixed on the actual song he came up with.
"I write lots of songs that are kind of like this one, where I'll finish it to a point where I can say, 'Yes, that's a song,' and I can sing it through and it has some internal sense to it," he says. "But is there something there, really? Or is it just kind of a nice scribble?"
Wilson says his Afternoon Song is more than just a scribble. It's a shiny object. He says he'll put it away for a few weeks before he decides whether to polish it into a gem, or just leave it alone.

Every winter, just after the holidays, it's White Sale season. Whether you actually prefer snow white bedding and towels or brighter shades, there's no better time to stock up on linens.
Take stock
You may not need to full sets of new linens. For example, instead of buying the standard set of one bath towel, one hand towel and one washcloth, you may want to provide two hand towels for every bath towel — one for the sink and one for wet hair. Create the sets that suit you best.
Before heading out to the mall, take stock of your bed, bath and kitchen linens to assess your needs. Creating a list of needed items will help you make the most of your time and money. Check to see if you need new towels or a fresh shower curtain. If you have frequent overnight visitors, you may want to replenish your supply of guest towels.
Be sure to test the texture of any towels you're considering buying. Don't assume that soft equals absorbent. Many downy towels merely smear water on your skin rather than soak it up; this can make stepping out of the shower feel downright frigid in winter.
A cozy bed
White sales are terrific for stocking up on necessities like new sheets. When buying sheet sets, don't forget to grab an extra set of pillowcases. Many pillowcases wear out quickly, and the extra set will mean you'll have a spare if needed or you can provide four pillows for two sleepers.
Buy sheets according to comfort. Although higher thread count is considered a marker for quality, comfort is really the best barometer. If you like soft sheets, don't just go by the numbers. Feel a sheet's texture. Consider buying sheets for the seasons. Purchase a softer sheet for winter and a crisp sheet for summer. Check to see if pillows need replacing, too.
Go for something different
Take advantage of lower prices to try a sheet you've never used before. Soft fleece sheet take the chill out of cold nights and offer a luxurious feel, or pick a jersey sheet that feels like your favorite t-shirt. If your blankets are frayed, pilled or matted, look at new styles and textures. Toasty, lightweight down comforters are a particularly good buy now. Down substitute comforters are also a good buy.
Quick tips
Don't overlook the kitchen during white sale season. This is a great time to replace ratty hot pads and dish towels. You can even pick up some holiday prints at reduced prices to put away for next year. Placemats, napkin rings and tablecloths are all on sale. When you get your purchases home, throw everything in the wash to take out the stiffness and add a fresh smell.

To the three literati among our staff, managers, and principals whose papers have been judged the most outstanding produced during the year ended September 30, 1964, it is a pleasure to give well deserved recognition in these pages. All three award-winning papers were considered to be of exceptionally high quality. Francis C. Oatway, senior accountant in our Washington office, won First Award of $500 for his paper Motivation and Responsibility in Tax Practice: The Need for Definition. Outstanding in thoroughness of preparation, documentation, and clarity of expression, this paper in September 1964 was entered by Mr. Oatway in the J. K. Lasser Tax Essay Contest conducted by New York University, winning first place there also and a prize of $1,500. The topic assigned for examination was: Are the existing canons of practice of the legal and accounting professions adequate for the modern practitioner? The contest was open, without geographic limitation, to senior and graduate law school students and senior and graduate accounting students; to practicing lawyers and practicing accountants; and to teachers of law or accounting. The maximum age requirement was 28. It is expected that New York University's Tax Law Review will publish the paper later this year. Robert D. Niemeyer, MAS manager in our Chicago office, won Second Award of $300 for his paper Inventory Control. By skillful handling of terminology necessarily technical, Mr. Niemeyer has rendered a difficult subject understandable. His paper discusses formal methods of determining inventory re-order points in terms of "how much" and "when" factors. The July- August 1964 issue of Management Services magazine published this article. Ernest H. Kenyon, principal in our Omaha office, won Third Award of $200 for his excellent analysis of the problem Corporate Distributions—Liquidating and Dividend. The reader interested in an introduction to this tax subject should find this paper valuable. The paper considers some of the pitfalls in identifying corporate distributions and anticipating how they will be taxed. Mr. Kenyon gave his paper in October 1963 before the Tenth Annual Institute on Taxation of the Texas Society of CPAs in both Houston and Dallas, and it was published in our Selected Papers — 1963. Later this year The Journal of Taxation will reproduce it in their new publication Accountants Tax Journal. For readers newly affiliated with the Firm a brief review of the Awards program may be of interest. In the Fall of each year the Firm presents three awards to staff accountants, principals, and managers who have written papers on professional and technical subjects, presented them before audiences outside the Firm, arranged for their publication, or gained recognition for them in some other way deemed outstanding. Awards for the current year bring the number of winning papers on accounting and auditing subjects to fourteen, on taxes to eight, and in management advisory services to ten. Across the country, the number of offices that have had winning papers is fifteen; six have had more than one. An interesting feature of judging the papers is to observe the changes that take place in an individual's writing over a period of time. At some point in a writer's development it becomes apparent that he has hit his stride—that he no longer regards his writing as a chore to be gotten out of the way but as an occupation that gives him considerable satisfaction. What brings about the change is self-discovery of the creative faculty and how it can dispel the tedium that many people associate with the hard work of writing. The first step in a man's approach to serious professional writing is essentially one of mental discipline. Ernest Hemingway wrote: "Easy writing makes hard reading." We like to think of the Best-Paper Awards less in terms of their worth as "gold medals" of achievement than as indicators of hard mental discipline—the training of the mind that enables a man to carry to completion a well thought-out thesis of substance, sound technically and readable in style. To all who during the year have directed their efforts toward the rewarding goal of constructive professional writing we express our appreciation. Discover for yourself, if you have not yet done so, the relation between creative mental power and serious professional writing. In the process you are likely to find much personal satisfaction! 8

HARRISBURG - Fifty years ago, Pennsylvania voters approved a constitutional amendment to authorize borrowing so the state could purchase land for recreational, conservation and historical purposes. The result was the Project 70 bond program from 1964 to 1970, which led to the addition of thousands of acres to expand state parks, state historic sites, game and fish commission areas and municipal park and recreation areas.
The program gave priority to land purchases in counties where less than 10 percent of the land was in public ownership or there was an urban area of 25,000 residents or more. Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyoming, Wayne and Bradford counties fell into that category.
Project 70 money was used to purchase land for 22 state parks, including Lackawanna, Lehigh Gorge, Shikellamy, Locust Lake, Nescopeck and Mt. Pisgah in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Project 70 helped make possible the great expansion of the state park system in the 1960s and 1970s under the direction of Dr. Maurice Goddard, the longtime top state environmental official.
Project 70 is relevant today due to a unique condition on lands purchased with its money. Any land acquired through Act 70 can't be used for other purposes aside from recreation, conservation or historical use without approval first from state lawmakers.
The state can issue permits to locate utility lines on and to remove oil, gas and other minerals from Project 70 land, an important point given the latest controversy over gas drilling on public lands.
Gov. Tom Corbett has proposed additional natural gas drilling in state forests and in state parks to generate $75 million in lease payments to help balance the 2014-15 state budget. The proposal involves allowing gas firms operating on nearby parcels of privately owned land to drill underground to reach commonwealth-owned gas deposits in state parks and forests as long as it doesn't disturb the land surface. Officials at the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources have yet to identify potential state parks that would be candidates for drilling under the governor's proposal.
A number of the state parks acquired with the help of Project 70 funds are in the Marcellus Shale formation. Mt. Pisgah, Ohiopyle and Oil Creek are some of them. No prior legislative approval is needed for gas drilling in state park lands acquired through Project 70, said Dan Devlin, acting DCNR deputy secretary for parks and forestry, last week. The leasing for underground drilling under the governor's plan wouldn't change the basic use of that land for recreation and conservation purposes, he added.
A Project 70 bill involving a tract in Schuylkill County is before the Legislature.
Legislation sponsored by Sen. David Argall, R-Tamaqua, and Rep. Neal Goodman, D-Mahanoy City, would transfer control of the state Museum of Anthracite Mining to Ashland. The borough has been leasing office space in the museum for a number of years. A portion of the museum land was bought with Project 70 funds. The bill would authorize the transfer provided the land is used only for a museum and municipal offices.
Robert Swift is Harrisburg bureau chief for Times-Shamrock Communications newspapers. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Patriarch Kirill celebrates Divine Liturgy at St. Sergius's Monastery on the Day of St. Sergius of Radonezh's Demise
On October 8, 2012, the Day of the Demise of St. Sergius of Radonezh, the Miracle-Worker of All Russia (1392), His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, assisted by a great assembly of bishops and priests, celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Dormition in St. Sergius's Laura of the Holy Trinity.
Among those who attended the Patriarch service were Mr. I. Levitin, adviser to the Russian president, Sergiev Posad Mayor V. Korotkov and his administration director V. Goncharov.
Among the worshippers were mothers superior of several convents and numerous pilgrims.
According to tradition, hierarchal services on that day were celebrated in all the churches of the Laura.
After the thanksgiving, His Holiness Kirill venerated the honourable relics of St. Sergius at the Laura's Cathedral of the Trinity.
Patriarch Kirill addressed the participants in the celebrations from the balcony of his patriarchal chambers, saying in particular,
'Whenever we come to the Laura we come in touch not only with the history of our homeland but also with her spiritual sources. Among these sources is the spiritual feat performed by St. Sergius of Radonezh. In the remote 14th century, he founded a monastery here, in backwoods, far from towns and villages, and few could imagine at that time that it was to become a place where the Laura of Holy Rus' would show forth, that the spiritual feat of many people would bring forth tremendous fruits, that it was to become a place where Russia's fate would be decided not on one occasion including in the terrible years of the Tatar-Mongol invasion and Polish intervention.
'We are standing on a holy soil, indeed. But the Laura was strong not only in its fortifications and its arms, which it was almost lacking. The Laura has always been strong in spirit and faithfulness to Orthodox faith. And since it was the power of spirit, prayer and faith that was the main treasure of this place, people thirsty of spiritual achievements and expressions of their faith in deed used to flock to it from all over Holy Rus'. What does it mean? It means only one thing – that a saint is a real and visible bearer of the presence of God's grace in the world; he is the most vivid witness to the existence of God. And in order to strengthen their faith, people have always resorted to people strong in spirit so that, coming in touch with them, they themselves may become stronger.
'And today as never before, the Laura as spiritual center of Holy Rus' bears this witness to the presence of God's grace. We come here to touch the holy relics of St. Sergius, to draw grace from him, and every one can feel this grace if one's heart has not turned to stone. One feels the special movements of the Holy Spirit in this holy place. And venerating the relics of St. Sergius, we bow before God's grace revealed through these holy relics. And we come out of here consoled, inspired, asserted in the faith and capable of doing good works and bearing witness to our faith…
'The feat of St. Sergius began with a small thing and culminated in his being the Abba of All Russia, when thousands of pilgrims come despite the misty day to venerate his holy relics. Let us ask our venerable and God-bearing Father Sergius to help us grow spiritually from strength to strength, to help us learn to perform feats, big and small. We should remember that there is no salvation without feat… May the blessing of St. Sergius, his intercession for our Motherland and Church help each of us to follow the way he has paved for many, for those who have glorified the name of God by their lives'.

|Head Coach of Women's Volleyball
|(617) 496-7390
|Previous College:
|Bentley College 1988
|28th Season
Head coach Jennifer Weiss has completed 27 seasons at the helm of the Crimson and has led the program to three Ivy League championships; 2004, 2014 and 2015.
In 27 seasons with the Crimson, Weiss has proven to be one of the most successful coaches in the Ivy League, and is just the third head coach in Ancient Eight history to reach 300 career victories. She has mentored seven Ivy Rookies of the Year, including 2015 pick Christina Cornelius and unanimous selection Corinne Bain in 2013. 2001 Ivy Rookie of the Year recipient Kaego Ogbechie '05, meanwhile, went on to become the first two-time Ivy Player of the Year in Harvard history. Weiss has also coached 78 All-Ivy players during her tenure, including 2012 graduate Christine Wu who joined Elissa Hart '98, Maia Forman '89 and Erin Denniston '02 as one of only four four-time All-Ivy honorees in program history.
In 2014 Weiss was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year after leading the Crimson to a share of the Ivy League championship, and in 2018 Weiss earned her 150th career win in the Ivy League. Additionally, Weiss has served on the AVCA Head Coach Committee for Division I Volleyball and the AVCA All-America Committee for the Northeast Region.
Harvard earned a share of its second-straight Ivy League championship in 2015 and reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history after defeating Princeton in the Ivy League Playoff, 3-1. The Crimson traveled to fourth-seeded Nebraska for its inaugural appearance in the NCAA tournament, and defeated the Huskers in the first set on their home floor before eventually falling, 3-1.
Weiss directed Harvard women's volleyball to a share of its first Ivy League championship in 2004, and in 2014 the Crimson returned to the top of the conference. Harvard finished the year with a 19-5 (.792) overall record, marking the highest win percentage in program history. The team's 19 overall wins, meanwhile, ranked as the fourth most in program history with its 12-2 Ivy record standing as the best in program history. This all came after a 2013 campaign in which the team finished second in the Ancient Eight with a 14-9 overall record and 9-5 in conference.
From 2007 to 2009, Weiss helped the Crimson move up the ranks of the Ivy League, finishing seventh in 2007, fifth in 2008 and fourth in 2009.
After a frustrating 2005, the Crimson rebounded with a solid campaign in 2006. Harvard posted an 11-14 overall record and went 5-9 in league play despite an injury to the starting libero. Three Crimson players received All-Ivy League recognition. Then-junior Suzie Trimble '08 earned second team All-Ivy honors, while classmate Laura Mahon '08 and then-freshman Katherine Kocurek '10 received honorable mention.
The 2004 Harvard squad posted a 15-10 record and went 10-4 in Ivy play. Weiss also tutored Ivy Player of the Year Kaego Ogbechie '05 and Rookie of the Year Laura Mahon '08.
Weiss' 2002 edition of the Crimson posted a 14-11 record that included a 12-2 run through the heart of the season. Weiss earned the 150th win of her career in 2003 with a 3-0 blanking of Princeton.
Weiss guided the 1999 Harvard squad to the final of the Ivy League tournament, where the Crimson dropped a tough five-set decision. That team compiled a 20-13 record, one of three times that Weiss has guided Harvard to at least 20 victories.
She posted her best season in 1997, when she led the Crimson to a perfect 7-0 record in regular season league play and an impressive 25-9 record overall. The team set a school record for victories, eclipsing the 21-win mark set by Weiss' 1995 squad.
Weiss served as Harvard's assistant coach for one year prior to her appointment as the head coach in 1993. In her rookie season at the helm, her squad tripled its win total from the previous year with a 9-16 mark. After improving to 12 wins in her second season, Weiss guided Harvard to a 21-10 mark in 1995, the program's first winning campaign since 1989.
A 1988 graduate of Bentley College with a bachelor's degree in finance, Weiss was a four-year starter for the Lady Falcons. She earned Northeast-10 Conference Rookie of the Year honors and was an all-conference player all four years. Weiss helped her team to the Northeast-10 title in two of her four seasons and was inducted into the Bentley College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998.
Weiss went on to earn her Master's of education from Springfield College in 1992. While at Springfield, she served as a graduate assistant with the women's volleyball program. In addition to her duties at Harvard, Weiss has also coached the Mass Patriots club team.
Weiss lives in Ashland with her husband, Jay, The David G. Bunning '88 Head Coach for Harvard Wrestling, and their two sons - Colby and Keegan.

Good Morning!
Yesterday was another day spent in The COMET, measuring and again, simultaneously modeling, a more refined interior 3d model with SketchUp. I measured all of the ceiling and put the vents and light fixtures into the model. I spent hours measuring and diagramming the intricacies of the main cabinet, which has 3 parts that hold the closet, the fridge and some drawers, and the toilet closet.
Here's some highlights of what I did:
So above you can see the main cabinet, on the back wall, has been broken up into it's 3 parts. This is the model with the doors to each of the cabinets/drawers on. The cabinet to the far left is the clothing closet, the middle section used to have a fridge in the top opening and the lower 3 are drawers and cabinets. The cabinet on the right is the toilet! You can also see the vents and light fixture in this image – the vents are grey and the light fixture is that box on the ceiling. Yesterday while I was there I was trying to figure out if I would need to add any more light fixtures or wire up any more wall plugs. There seems to be just enough, but I need to make a serious list of what I have that uses power to figure it out.
In these two images I have hidden the cabinet door layers so that you can see inside the cabinets (I've also hidden the galley cabinet and galley counter, but you can see the footprint of it on the floor). Like I said, left side is the closet, middle is fridge spot up top and drawers/cabinets below, and the right side is the bathroom. The orange block at the bottom of the closet is the wheel well. You can also see the vents and lights a little better in this one.
Right now the spot for the fridge (and I don't have the fridge that actually fits it) is the top section of the middle cabinet. In the next image you can see the fridge vent. Most likely that whole middle part of the main cabinet will be reconfigured so that the top-opening chest-style solar powered fridge that I have my eye on can fit in there, I can comfortably open it form the top, and have some food storage/pantry above it.
As you can see, and as I wish I could convey to you, the bathroom is insanely tiny. I sat in there the other day just for laughs and it is cramped even for me, and I am tiny! But I think I'll gain some leg room when I install the custom composting toilet, because I'll move the seat closer to the back wall and make it as small as I can.
This is just a preliminary roof sketch based on the vents from the interior (I still want to climb up there and measure everything form the exterior). The purple squares are the existing vents: two air vents, one fridge vent, and the tiny purple circle is the bathroom vent. This diagram gives me a good idea of what I have to work with in terms of configuring the 3 solar panels I'm getting. There's definitely room for 2 up there, but depending on how I set them up, I can either try to fit a third on the roof or instead fit a third panel on the side that lays down flat when I'm mobile and pops up when I'm parked.
As I spend more and more time in The COMET, finding out exactly how much cubic feet I have to work with is really interesting. Paring down to 16 ft. (total is 112 sq ft, but that includes cabinets and benches and everything) will not be super easy for me. I've always had multiple bedrooms, and I've always been a collector. I'm going to miss my vinyl and my vintage knick knacks! My unicorn collection (that makes me sound like a 70 year old lady – I'm not though)! And I have way too many clothes, again I'm a collector of vintage everything, so that will be tough too. To be fair, most of the stuff I have like furniture and clothing is for my store (I have a little online shop, PlanetQueenVintage.etsy.com: vintage is the most fun way to recycle!!). But it's really starting to hit hard what I'll have to do without! Of course I'll be able to store some of my things with my parents, but not like I do now. Though it makes me sad to think of everything I will have to get rid of, it's also incredibly freeing and wonderful to think about, because I've been overhwhelmed by materials possessions my whole life. Freedom!

How to grow celery, tomatoes, ginger and pineapples from kitchen scraps
It's the dead of winter and there's nothing that can be grown outside, so naturally this is the time of year when I get a little bored.
I flip through the garden catalogs that are arriving daily, highlighter in hand, and dog ear the corners. Who am I kidding? There isn't even enough space for another blade of grass in my garden, but, yes, I'll order the new Tuff Stuff reblooming mountain hydrangea. And a Peach Cobbler Buddleia. And a Clematis Piilu. I'll make it work.
And when I'm done dreaming and planning, I'll get creative. I'll clip some bright red stems from my red-twig dogwoods and bring them inside. In a vase of water, they'll sprout leaves; in a dry vase, their color will mellow and they'll add a high-end decorator touch that would cost a pretty penny if purchased on the retail level.
Next month, I'll bring in some forsythia stems and force them to bloom in water and feel like it's spring. In March, I'll do the same with lilacs, and their sweet scent will fill the dining room. And when I get really bored, I'll think about what I can grow from my kitchen scraps this spring, without the trouble of seeds or the expense of starter plants.
If you've ever grown tomatoes, chances are you've left a fallen fruit on the ground and forgotten about it as it decomposed and seemingly disappeared. Then you were surprised when a couple of tomato plants magically appeared in the garden the following spring. The compost pile sometimes breeds similar volunteers, especially if left uncovered and unturned. So why not bury a few whole tomatoes next fall? There will be no seed starting indoors and you'll save money. If you're growing heirloom varieties, next year's tomatoes will be the same; if you grow hybrids, you'll be in for a surprise. Just weed out the weakest plants to ensure proper spacing in the vegetable patch.
This spring, when you're making soup or a salad, save the bottom end of a celery stalk. Trim off the very bottom and soak it in lukewarm water for 8 hours or overnight. Then bury it under an inch of soil, cut-stalk side up. Water it and wait a week or two, and a plant will begin to grow.
The part you scrape and slice is actually a rhizome, which grows underground. Soak a few plump, healthy ones in warm water overnight, then bury with the eyes, or buds, facing up in rich soil (amended with slow-release fertilizer or compost) in a shady spot. Cover by an inch and keep moist, but not soggy. You can also plant ginger in pots, with three rhizomes to a 14-inch container. Dig up in fall, after the leaves have died back.
You don't have to wait until spring to start growing a pineapple plant, though this project will require patience. Cut the leafy crown off the top of a fruit, keeping the knife blade as close to the crown as possible. Wait about a week, allowing it to dry at room temperature -- fleshy end up -- until the cut end hardens. Place it on top of a container filled with a mixture of 70 percent light soil or potting mix and 30 percent compost. Twist it in the soil, pressing down gently, to cover the crown slightly, but don't get any soil in the leaves. The top of the crown and the leaves should stick out of the mix so it appears you've buried an entire pineapple and left the top inch or so exposed, with the leaves attached. Place in a sunny indoor spot. Water every week and fertilize every four months with ordinary houseplant food.
In about 18 months the plant should sprout a red cone at the top. It will be followed by rows of blue flowers -- the precursors of fruit. The pineapple should appear around months 18 to 22. Allow the fruit to remain on the plant for a minimum of six months. When it's a rich golden color, it'll be time to cut it off and dig in. Your plant will be shot, but you can start all over with the crown from your home-grown fruit.

The behemoth Japanese conglomerate, which once controlled the portable music market, announced Tuesday that the company's data compression technology would be compatible with a number of rival formats, including Apple's format of choice, AAC.
In the past, Sony has fiercely held to its own Atrac system. By switching to a technology that supports AAC, Sony appears to be acknowledging Apple's dominance in the digital music playing market, say analysts.
Sony's new management system will allow iPod users to swap some of their music to a
Music downloaded from Apple's iTunes music store is prevented from playing on non-Apple devices by Apple's digital rights management technology.
"That's a big change for Sony," said Shaw Wu, an analyst with American Technology Research. "But it's not surprising. Competitors keep trying to stop Apple, but the company's market share just continues to grow."
Calls to Sony were not returned Wednesday.

Childhood Summer Memories [VIDEO]
Think back. Way back, to the days of your childhood summers. There should be a flood of memories, at least, something that makes you smile. I don't know if spending your summers somewhere else, but summers in East Texas were pretty great to reflect back on.
There are lots of things that are disappointing about adult summers. First, and worst, you have to work through them. Instead of enjoying the heat running through a sprinkler eating a popsicle, you are the person stuck in traffic headed to the packed Walmart to buy the sprinkler and popsicles. All of the adult responsibilities leave less time for summer.
When we were kids, summer seemed to last forever. The last day of school was the most celebrated event of the entire year. Freedom, at last, had come! We were free to forget everything we had just learned and roam the earth as little wild things.
Though waking up for school days had always seemed like torture, the summer morning sun could not come faster for our patience. We were aching to get outside and explore. I was raised in a house were you did not need to be forced outside to play. Though I am sure my parents had the door locked, we never even tried to go back inside. I was lucky enough to live in a more rural area of East Texas. We had what seemed like the whole world at our finger tips.
With pastures full of adventure surrounding our two acres, there was never a dull moment. If we got a bit tired of seeing the same never ending expanse of land, we could ride our bikes down to our friends house. No matter our location, we were busy having fun.
One of the most important things to do during the explorations was to find all of the sweet natural treats we could. Surrounding our house were countless natural black berry bushes. Peeking through thick brush and finding something like the cluster of black berries in the image below would make us shout out in joy.
Laying in the shade of the trees, my brother and I would eat our bounty of berries and soak in the world around us. We had no worries in the world. We were surrounded by warmth, possibilities, and the sweet smells of summer. The aroma of grass, mud, and honey suckle filled the air. I believe I have experienced perfection in these moments. The clean air and quiet noises of the country on a summer day cannot be beat. Those sweet smells cannot be found on the hard concrete streets in the city. One doesn't not understand the greatest smell in the world until they have smelled sunshine and honey suckle.
Do you remember these? They filled the air with a thick sugary perfume guiding you to their stretching vines. Once you found their small white and yellow blooms, you had found summer gold. Sucking the honey from their petals was the best taste. These were always a part of the summer day plan. Gather as many honey suckles as possible, grab your bamboo fishing poll and bobbers, catch as many crickets as you could, and go fishing in the pond behind the house.
My brother and I went fishing almost every day of summer. I hated having to run through the field with those grass hoppers and crickets jumping around us like little dive bombers, but we needed bait. I also made my poor brother bait my line. I didn't like the critters jumping all over me, but it still hurt to see them get stabbed with the hook. With our lines in the pond, we sat and waited in the intense summer heat for anything to bite. Normally we just caught turtles and perch, but each was the greatest prize in the world.
Dirty and sweaty, we would head home to try and cool off. What better way than to run through those sprinklers or just spray each other with the hose? It was only then that we realized, no matter how much sunscreen my mother had lathered onto us before we left, we were so very sunburnt. You know the feeling. Your t-shirt sticks to your skin and burns like a thousand tiny needles stabbing you all at once. You itch but can't scratch without feeling the most heinous pain. Even with cold water running over your body, you feel hot all over.
The only cure was a glass of lemonade, a pound of ocean lotion covering your every inch of you, and a nap in the hammock. I spent hours upon hours of the evening light on my tire swing or in our hammock. I would play my yellow Walkman as I sung along at the top of my lungs. I played every song over and over until I was absolutely fluent with every lyric.
Yep, this was one of the more frequent sing-alongs for the summer time. Its catchy melody kept me humming for many a summer. But, we cannot forget this jam. "Always Be My Baby" was probably the most played song of my childhood. I loved Mariah Carey, she guided me through so many young summer loves.
The summer days spent at home were great, some of the best days I have ever had. But, the days at the lake were even better. I have an aunt that competes in pro bass tournaments. When she came to visit we would get to use her fancy boat. Oh how we loved we aunt and uncle would come visit.
That's right, time to go tubing! Swimming is loads of fun, but tubing is better. The wind in your hair, the water whipping past your underneath, the ropes your holding onto grinding blisters, and the adrenaline of flying through the air all makes for a glorious day. How much gas do you have in your boat? Good, we are going to need all of that.
I remember so many times zooming past my parents who stayed at the beach area to sit in the shallow water in their lawn chairs screaming out, "Waaawhooooo!" I would stay out there for hours. We would only takes breaks to get hot dogs and hamburgers from the beach grill and then it was time to get right back out.
Those days gave me some of the best memories of the summer days of my childhood. Just thinking about these smells, sounds, tastes, and activities has me right back there. Makes you miss those days and really dislike the adult summer days. Why must we spend our days in fluorescent lighting, eating Lean Cuisines, and smelling the stale air circulating through the AC system?
I want to go back to the good old days, what about you?

Harvard took to the court for the first time in the 2012 season as it opened up against Endicott College. (courtesy Jon Luszcz)
BEVERLY, Mass. - Senior Matt Jones recorded a double-double (17 kills and 10 digs) to help lead the Crimson to a 3-1 victory over Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., Tuesday night. Harvard got the necessary offense while holding the Gulls hitting percentage under .200 in all four sets played.
In the first set, the two squads played a tight contest that saw nine lead changes. Harvard began to pull away after sophomore Nick Madden recorded a kill making it 18-17. Harvard scored eight of the next 12 points to secure a 1-0 lead in the match.
The Crimson jumped out to a 10-5 lead in the second set, forcing Endicott to call a timeout. Freshmen DJ White and Caleb Zimmick combined for five of the Crimson's next 10 points to push the score to 20-14. Harvard went on to score four of the next seven points to close out the set, 25-17, and increase its lead to 2-0.
Harvard was ahead by six points in the third set (18-12) but the Gulls wouldn't go quietly. Endicott scored eight of 11 points to cut the deficit to 21-20. The two teams traded points towards the end of the set as the Gulls took its first lead of the game off a Michael Owen error, putting Endicott up 27-26. It was Harvard's turn to fight back next as Zimmick evened the score twice before Endicott pulled away for good, winning the set 30-28.
The teams traded points early in the fourth stanza after an Aaron Jessee service error knotted the set up, 9-9. A kill from Jones and two errors forced Endicott to take an early timeout as the Crimson jumped out to the 12-9 advantage. The Crimson scored four of the next five points, increasing its lead to 16-10 and wouldn't look back as it closed out the set, 25-17, and the match 3-1.
Harvard saw its freshman class contribute right away as Zimmick finished his day with 13 kills and five block assists, while White recorded seven kills and three digs. Nick Madden provided the Crimson plenty of offense from the outside registering 14 kills during the match.
Harvard will be back in action on Friday Jan. 27, when it heads to Rivier. The match is slated for a 7 p.m. start.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution (Major League Soccer) and the Rochester Rhinos (USL PRO) have entered into a partnership that makes the Rhinos the official USL PRO affiliate of the Revolution. The teams' agreement is part of the landmark announcement made by MLS and USL PRO last week to help further the development of professional soccer in the U.S. and Canada.
The agreement calls for the Revolution to loan a minimum of four players to the Rhinos for the season. While the Revs players will remain with New England for the entirety of the Revs' preseason training, members of the Rochester coaching staff will travel to Tucson and meet the Revs for the next stage of the team's training camp to observe players and collaborate with the Revolution coaches. The Revs players loaned to Rochester will be announced closer to the start of the season once that determination has been made.
"We are pleased to formalize what we believe will be a beneficial partnership for both the Revolution and Rochester," Revolution General Manager Michael Burns said. "This affiliate agreement will allow a number of our players to gain increased and meaningful playing time in the Rhino's USL PRO schedule while we can monitor their development in conjunction with Rochester's staff.
"We believe forming an affiliation with Rochester gives us the ability to get our players more competitive games on a regular basis. This option allows those players who would normally see most of their action in the Reserve League to get more consistent playing time, which we believe will benefit our first team in the long run," Burns said.
"We're pleased to be entering this groundbreaking affiliation with the New England Revolution," Rochester Rhinos President and Chief Operating Officer Pat Ercoli said. "The partnership announced last week secured the USL's position directly underneath Major League Soccer, and our affiliation with New England will allow us to maximize this relationship. This partnership allows us to put the best possible product on the field this season.
"We are returning our nucleus from last season and adding a minimum of four MLS players to the group. On the soccer side this also allows us to continue our focus on player development and builds a pipeline for our professional players to Major League Soccer," Ercoli continued.
Per an announcement made on Jan. 23 by the two leagues, MLS teams now have the opportunity to formally partner with USL PRO clubs to further player development. As the Revolution's official affiliate, Rochester will retain a minimum of four Revolution players for development for the entire USL PRO regular season. Those players would then get regular playing time, and have the opportunity to be called back up by the Revs if needed.
MLS sides without formal USL PRO affiliates will send their Reserve teams to participate in interleague competition with USL PRO squads. Matches between these MLS Reserve teams and USL PRO sides will count in both the official USL PRO and MLS Reserve League standings. The partnership between the two leagues aims to strengthen competition and establish a solid foundation for future collaboration, with the goal of enhancing the development of professional soccer players in North America.
