Is Mountain Biking Wrecking Your Health?
As you probably know, I love mountain biking but mountain biking can be bad for you. I am not talking about crashing (which is definitely bad for you) but simply riding mountain bikes. Mountain biking, like many sports can be PART of a very healthy lifestyle. I stress the word "part" because mountain biking should not be your only form of exercise.
The idea for this article came when I saw two very fit looking road cyclists get off their bike and then hobble to the door. They could barely walk! They were hunched over, stiff and very wobbly! Luckily, because we stand, absorb shock and are more dynamic than road cyclists (who often stay in the same hunched over position for hours) mountain biking isn't as bad a road cycling but it still can lead to imbalances in our body. Few sports work all muscles, ligaments and tendons equally which is one of the reasons "cross training" is popular in most sports.
If you like to mountain bike as much as I do don't forget to mix things up every week! The best thing I have discovered to help me stay fit, healthy and balanced is yoga. Yoga helps my posture, my breathing, my mobility and helps calm me. A structured weight training program with mobility exercises can also be a great compliment to mountain biking. Weight training and yoga are also great mental breaks from mountain biking (which do the concentration needed to ride single track is very mentally stressful).
I find the more yoga I do the better I ride (because I breathe better and have more effective strength and flexibility) and the more I enjoy and look forward to riding (my back doesn't hurt, the day off from riding made me miss riding). The same goes for strength training. With warm weather here and great trails beckoning you to ride sometimes it is hard to take a break and do something else, but if you force yourself to be more balanced in how you exercise and recover you will have more fun in the long run.
In short, balance your riding with other athletic pursuits to be healthier, happier, faster and have more fun!
Yoga and weight training are my two favorite forms of exercise to balance with my riding, what others forms of exercise do you do to compliment your riding? What do you like about it and how does help you?
If you are as obsessed with mountain biking as I was for 15 years please read/re-read this article:

We're just as sick as everyone else of getting busy signals at Babbo (seriously, you get busy signals), even when calling the requisite month in advance. So when we heard about TableXchange, a New York startup that promised an online reservation solution just in time for Restaurant Week, we were intrigued. After checking it out, we applaud the founders' ingenuity, but we have some…reservations.
Billed as the Stubhub of restaurant reservations, TableXchange allows users to buy and sell tables at Zagat hot spots the same way baseball and music fans hawk extra tickets on Ebay. Sellers, who must have Paypal accounts, pick a price of up to $40 for their tables. Buyers can then pay for the tables with a PayPal account or credit card, at which point TableXchange releases the name the reservation was made under. The site, which currently offers dinner reservations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hamptons, takes a 12% cut on all reservations sold.
We remember the furor over PrimeTimeTables' first foray into the restaurant scalping business last winter. (PrimeTime actually reserved and then resold tables, the way travel intermediaries often buy and resell blocks of hotel rooms). PrimeTime has since stopped selling individual tables, choosing instead to offer memberships in exchange for a certain number of premium reservations per year. Although the founders of TableXchange seem to have taken great pains to avoid any comparison to PrimeTimeTables, it's hard not to make them.
If restaurants were cooperating with TableXchange, it would be one thing, but they aren't: As far as the restaurants know, they are serving the person who originally made the reservation. And therein lies TableXchange's fatal flaw: Pretending to be someone else for the night just to snag a top table is deceptive (and feels that way), even when you've paid for the right to do it. The big difference between TableXchange and Stubhub, in other words, is that event tickets are not made in the original buyer's name. Someone who buys tickets on Stubhub does not have to pretend to be someone else; someone who buys a reservation on TableXchange does.
If TableXChange began generating some buzz, moreover, another problem might arise. Even if TableXchange could effectively prevent sellers from offering fake reservations (a lesser potential problem, but an embarrassing one to be the victim of), a cottage industry would likely develop around reserving and reselling tables. This would eventually–and understandably–prompt a response from restaurants, which might strike back by demanding an ID from everyone at the door, or a credit card in advance.
The TableXchange service, in other words, sounds convenient, and anyone who has gotten the Babbo treatment can be forgiven for feeling that hot restaurants deserve whatever they get. But any business that forces the buyer to deceive a third-party–which, in its current form, TableXchange still does–is not long for this world. Via NewYorkology

This is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. It's a role-playing game made by some of the people who made 3D Dot Game Heroes and some of the people who made Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light. Nintendo showed it off during its Japanese livestream last night. And it looks wonderful.
Let's try to ignore the fact that it's called Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. This is the type of RPG that Western 3DS owners could really, really use right now. Just stick "Final Fantasy" somewhere in the title and bam: instant hit.

Lindley Vann
Professor Emeritus Robert Lindley Vann alternates with other faculty members teaching the two basic survey classes in architectural history. In addition he offers advanced courses in the fields of Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Pre-Columbian. Since 1995 he has developed his interests in various aspects of non-western architecture into an elective survey class. Drawing from wide-ranging travel and research in disparate fields such as South Asia, Oceania, Pre-Columbian civilizations of Central and South America, and the Islamic world, Professor Vann has developed one of the few courses of this type in the country. In addition to his survey classes and advanced lecture courses, during the past three years Professor Vann has offered seminars focusing upon the city in the classical world, the town of Pompeii, as well as the field of architecture for entertainment in the Roman world.
Lindley's archaeological fieldwork continues. He has participated in excavations at Sardis (Turkey), Carthage (Tunisia), Humeima (Jordan), and Sigiriya (Sri Lanka). From 1981-1990 Professor Vann co-directed underwater excavations in the harbor of Herod the Great at Caesarea (Israel) and since 1991 has directed the University of Maryland Survey of Ancient Harbors in Turkey. From 2001-2004 he also co-directed a project in Pompeii (Italy) investigating the role of food and drink in the ancient city. He will begin work on a new project recording the villas at Stabia (Italy) this year.
Professor Vann continues to involve his students in fieldwork and research on these various programs in both Turkey and Italy. He also offers travel opportunities for students as well as alumni during the January semester break and spring vacation. Destinations during the past several years have included Mexico, Peru, Vietnam, and Cambodia. His trip planned for January 2006 will be to Thailand and Myanmar (Burma).
Lindley continues to lecture widely. During the past year has presented aspects of his research at the Johns Hopkins University, Arizona State University, the University of Mississippi, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Israel Exploration Society, the Scarsdale (NY) Society of the Archaeological Institute of America as well as delivering papers at conferences in Boston and Hololulu. This year he was named the Ahmanson Lecturer for the AIA. His plans for the coming year include delivering papers in Boston, Washington DC, and Antalya (Turkey).
Vann is author of The Unexcavated Buildings of Sardis, British Archaeological Reports International Series 538 (1988) and editor of Caesarea Papers: Straton's Tower, Herod's Harbour, and Roman and Byzantine Caesarea published in 1992 by the Journal of Roman Archaeology. Vann has published numerous articles in journals such as Archaeology, Journal of Field Archaeology, Archaeological News, International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Old World Archaeology Newsletter, Journal of the Israel Exploration Society, Biblical Archaeology Review, Biblical Archaeologist, and Asian Art. His most recent publications focus on the baths and churches at Aperlae and with upcoming work on the fortifications at that same site as well as an overview of harbors in the eastern Mediterranean during the Byzantine period.

NEW HAVEN OPEN: Players reflect on London Olympics experience
NEW HAVEN -- Not only did Maria Kirilenko earn a bronze medal for her performance at this summer's Olympic games in London, she received a car, too.
Kirilenko and teammate Nadia Petrova won the women's doubles bronze-medal match earlier this month. As a token of his appreciation, Russian president Vladimir Putin rewarded all Russian medalists with exclusive black Audis.
"It's a good car," said Kirilenko, who also reached the bronze-medal match in women's singles. "I just talked to my mom this morning. She picked it up."
Kirilenko is one of 21 Olympians in this week's New Haven Open main draw. Several reflected on their time in London and playing at Wimbledon.
No. 4 seed Sara Errani of Italy advanced to the tournament's quarterfinals Tuesday with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Carla Suarez Navarro. Errani lost to Venus Williams in the opening round of singles at the Olympics.
"For me, Olympics are an amazing experience, an amazing feeling," Errani said.
For Great Britain's Laura Robson, it was a homecoming. She grew up playing at Wimbledon.
With the help of some home-court advantage, Robson and Andy Murray won the silver medal in mixed doubles.
"The ribbon is itchy," said Robson, who was on hand for New Haven's making of the draw on Friday. "After three hours of interviews, you don't really want to have it around your neck."
So she left it at home with her brother. At the making of the draw, a young boy handed her a temporary replacement -- a medal made of tin foil.
She talked about staying at the Olympic Village for four nights prior to the start of the games and meeting a handful of British gold medalists, including Mo Farah, who won the 10,000-meter run.
She said the best part was playing in front of a loud crowd every match.
"Wimbledon crowds are always polite," she said. "If your opponent hits a good shot, then they clap. But at the Olympics they didn't seem to do that. I never had a crowd so loud in my life when I was playing Maria Sharapova with the roof closed. It was incredible. I was getting goose bumps as I was playing."
Four-time defending New Haven champion Caroline Wozniacki had different feelings. This was her second trip to the Olympics as she represented Denmark in 2008. Then, she explained, she stayed in the Olympic Village and there was more of a team feeling to the experience.
"In London it was a bit different because the Olympic Village was a 1½-hour drive from the site," Wozniacki said. "We played at Wimbledon where they said it was sold out, but it wasn't packed. There was a lot of security around. It just wasn't the same feeling."
New Haven's No. 2 seed Petra Kvitova was a bit disappointed about falling to Kirilenko in the quarterfinals in London.
"The Olympics are about the medals and I didn't have any," she said. "But it was a good experience for me and to be a part of the Czech Republic."
American Lisa Raymond is playing with Liezel Huber in the doubles tournament this week at the New Haven Open. Raymond and Mike Bryan captured the bronze in the mixed doubles. Raymond called it one of the highlights of her career. She also played in the women's doubles tournament.
"When we played one of our first matches against the Radwanskas, one side was all Poland and the other side we had USA," Raymond described. "You don't have that at Wimbledon. The crowds were certainly a lot different. It was like a Fed Cup or Davis Cup match when you were playing."
Young American Christina McHale was forced to withdraw from the New Haven Open because of an illness. McHale, from New York, still dropped by to watch some tennis, sign autographs and talk with the media.
McHale represented the United States at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics and took part in the pin-collecting craze. She spent a lot of time trying to collect the most obscure pins from other countries. Her most prized one? Micronesia, a subregion of Oceania.
She also made sure to get plenty of pictures, posing with the likes of basketball stars Kobe Bryant, Tyson Chandler, Anthony Davis, gold medalist swimmer Ryan Lochte and volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh.
"I was just stars truck seeing everyone," McHale said. "It was really cool just to be among all the athletes and see all the other athletes. It was an unforgettable experience."

DVB-S Theory
DVB stands for Digital Video Broadcast - Satellite. At its core, DVB-S is a simple mechanism. Digital transmitters beam sets of channels to an area, and they are received by antennas aimed at the transmitter. The scope of this article is to provide basic understanding of DVB-S technology, dish pointing and peaking, and setup in MythTV. In keeping with the philosophy of the (largely US based) MythTV development and user community, no discussion of prohibited activities (civil or criminal) is welcome at any time. If some activity utilizing DVB-S is legal in your locale, bear in mind that it is likely *not* so in the United States (under whose laws MythTV must exist) and is therefore *still* unwelcome in all official MythTV support channels.
DVB-S and DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast - Terrestrial) share in common many characteristics. They both share in common a remote transmitter broadcasting a signal through the air to an antenna, with bundles of channels (multiplexes) being transmitted by one or more transponders. In the case of terrestrial broadcasts, the need for precise aiming is less critical as the transmitters are largely omnidirectional and within short distances. In the case of satellite broadcasts, however, the antenna (dish) must be aimed at an object the size of a schoolbus at a distance of 35,000 kilometers. Precise aiming is, to say the least, critically important.
DVB-S satellites are in geosynchronous equatorial orbit. This means that they are in fixed orbital locations over a single spot on the equator. In populated portions of the world, there is a broadcast satellite at approximately every three orbital degrees. It is quite easily to mis-aim the dish slightly and get strong signal from the wrong satellite altogether.
Just as with terrestrial broadcasts, the quality and size of your antenna is directly proportional to the strength and type of signal being received. The two types of digital broadcast commonly in use today are C-Band and Ku-band. C-band is the older format of digital satellite broadcast, bringing to mind gigantic eyesore dishes. Ku-band is the format favored by consumer dish operators just as Freesat, DISH Network, and Bell ExpressVu. While it is possible to tune Ku and C-band signals with large dishes, only Ku-band signals can be tuned with the small round and elliptical "patio" dishes.
MythTV supports *only* unencrypted material, or material that is decrypted through the use of a legitimate provider-supplied CAM (Conditional Access Module). This rules our for-pay services that do not provide CAMs. Attempts to tune DISH network, DirecTV, Bell ExpressVu and similar are unwelcome in the MythTV community as those providers to no supply CAMs.
Lyngsat is an excellent reference for what satellites are in the sky, where they are located, and what channels they contain.
Equipment Needed
- DVB-S Tuner card
- The DVB-S card must support the modulation and FEC (Forward Error Correction) used by the satellites you wish to tune. If the card does not support these specifications, you will be unable to une your channels! If your provider supplies CAMs, you will need a DVB-S card with an *on-board* (non-USB) CI slot, and the card and CI must be supported by linux.
- Satellite Antenna/Dish
- The required size of the dish will be determined by the signals you wish to tune.
- One Low Noise Blocking Filter (LNB/LNBF) for each orbital location you wish to tune
- RG6 Coaxial cable
- Optional: A DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) Switch if using more than one Orbital Location/LNB without a motor
Equipment Setup
DVB-S tuner cards provide adequate voltage to power at least one LNB in most cases. Choose a location to mount the dish that is sheltered from the elements (particularly wind) and with as clear a view of possible of the satellites. In the northern hemisphere, this will be a generally southern view and in the southern hemisphere, a northern one. Remember, the satellites are in orbit over the equator.
An extremely helpful site is Dishpointer. This Google Maps mashup allows you to provide a set of coordinates or street adress, select the satellite or satellites you wish to aim, and will provide near-perfect aiming information. It is not uncommon for the aiming information to be within a single degree of peak accuracy for the location.
Mount the dish securely using a tripod, wall mount, or other sturdy means of preventing wind and other interference. Leave the dish slightly loose in the mount for the aiming procedure. Run a short length of RG6 coaxial cable from each LNB (located at the end of the dish "arm") to a DiSEqC switch. If using only one LNB, you can run the coaxial cable straight to your receiver or DVB-S card. If you wish to run multiple receivers/DVB-S cards, you will need a DiSEqC switch with an number of outputs equal to the number of cards/receivers you wish to use, and inputs equal to the number of LNBs/Orbital Locations you wish to aim at. Some DVB-S setups use a single LNB and a DiSEqC-compatible motor to reaim the dish dynamically. This is sophisticated but purely optional.
A flowchart for the simplest type of DVB-S setup would be as follows:
Receiver or DVB-S card-->Coaxial Cable-->Single LNB
When aiming more than one orbital location without using a motor, the flowchart might look similar to:
Receiver or DVB-S card-->Coaxial Cable-->DiSEqC Switch--(Multiple Outputs to..)-->Multiple LNBs
Dish Aiming
Although your provider might supply you with a general chart of aiming instructions, Dishpointer is immensely helpful in showing visual landmarks for aiming the dish. Provide the site with your location using address or Latitude/Longitude, and select the satellites you wish to aim from the drop-down. Satellite aiming consists of three "directions:" Elevation, Azimuth, and Skew. These represent the angle, direction, and rotation of your dish.
Setting Elevation
The most critical element of setting elevation is understanding that most consumer dishes are offset dishes. While you might set the elevation to 45 degrees, it will appear to you that the dish is only aimed at 23 or so degrees. The offset of the dish comes from the fact that the dish arm and LNBs are mounted offset from the center and thus the signal is bounced off from a higher angle and reflected down onto the LNBs. This means that some near-impossible aiming conditions are actually quite possible (see example right).

What do moving companies do?
Thumbtack Editors
Moving companies provide a range of services to help you physically move out of one residence and move into a new place. But moving companies can do so much more than just haul your belongings across town in a truck. The national average for moving company prices ($250-$350 per hour) reflects the range of services provided. Here are examples of all the ways moving companies can help:
- Packing: Moving companies can pack your belongings for you. They typically charge a flat rate for both the box and the labor to pack the box. The more time-consuming the belongings are to pack, the higher the cost per box. For example, books could be $5 per box, linens $10 per box, and fine china and glassware $18 per box.
- Specialty moving: Safely move a baby grand piano, a oversize aquarium, or other specialty items with the help of pro movers.
- Storage: Many moving companies can store your belongings while you wait for a new home to be remodeled or closing of your new home to be finalized. If you're moving long-distance, they often provide short-term storage free for a specific length of time, and a set rate after that (such as $60 per square cubic foot of storage space used).
- Long-distance moves: No need to rent a trailer and move your things; a long-distance moving company can haul your belongings across the country for you. Typically they charge by the cubic foot for moves, with prices based on your destination.
- Unpacking: Moving companies can even unpack your belongings for you after they have moved them. This is not as common, and will definitely increase the price, but can be helpful if you're not able to tackle this task yourself.

Sundström's number to be retired
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:52 pm
Well, maybe not in Vancouver, but Björklöven, the team he represented before and after his ten seasons in the NHL, will honour Patrik in connection to the home game against Teg, by having his jersey hung from the rafters. Probably the greatest player to have been raised in Umeå, even if he never earned a lot of hardware. He was however on the only Swedish team ever to win WJC gold, and he still holds the NHL record for most points scored in a playoff game (8).

Kevin Smith's Red State Movie Nearing Profitability... Even Prior To Regular Theatrical Release
from the not-bad deptWe've written a few times about filmmaker Kevin Smith and why he's a content creator (not just filmmaker) you should be paying attention to if (like most of us around these parts) you're interested in new business models for content creators. That's because he's really done an amazing job (for years) combining the two key elements that we believe are at the heart of any new successful business model: connecting with fans and giving them a reason to buy. The key thing is that he doesn't go through the motions on either part (as many do), but really goes to great lengths, both in connecting and in giving really powerful reasons to buy.
Lots of folks panned him for his plan to take his latest movie, Red State, on a nationwide tour this spring, followed in the fall with a standard theatrical release -- but via his own distribution efforts, rather than teaming up with a US distributor (they're still working with foreign distributors due to lack of familiarity or simple feet on the ground in those markets). As we noted at the time, the plan didn't seem all that crazy when you looked at it. He's done very successful Q&A tours where he just performs by himself. This time around he'd be doing the same thing... but with a movie. And, part of the reason why all of this works is because he's made a real, rather than superficial, effort to connect with his fans.
It seems like the plan is working so far. At the very end of a (somewhat touching, if slightly fawning) blog post about Quentin Tarantino, Smith mentions in passing some details about the economics of Red State, concerning the tour and other deals in place, which show that the film is pretty close to being out of the red (no pun intended, really) and into the black:
Over the course of the 15 shows of the Red State USA Tour, we made almost one million dollars from ticket and merchandise sales. A few times, we had the highest per screen average in the country. We started out with a record-making show at Radio City Music Hall and went on to average 1100 people per screening. Had we booked ourselves into smaller houses, we could've SOLD OUT every show; but being in the larger houses cost us nothing extra.Now, he claims that "this business bullshit should only be important to the investors," but I disagree. I think it's important and helpful for those who are blazing new trails to share whatever they're comfortable sharing so that others can learn from it. And, by learn from it, I don't mean to mimic it. I'm not talking about cargo cult copying. But learn from the general concepts, and see what can be applied to other situations.
And apparently, we managed to pull 1100 a night solely from our podcasts: when asked nightly if they heard about the show from a show at SModcast.com, an overwhelming 85/90% of the audience indicated yes (Jon swears it was 100% in Seattle). That bodes well for SIR.
You take what we made on the tour, you add that to the $1.5mil we've pulled in from foreign sales thus far (with a few big territories yet to sell). Add to that $3mil we're on the verge of closing for all North American distribution rights excluding theatrical (which means VOD/HomeVideo/PayTV/Streaming).
The flick cost $5mil to make, but $4mil after the California tax incentive. One of the only things Jon and I promised the Red State investors in exchange for letting us handle American theatrical distribution ourselves was that their $4mil would be covered as soon as possible – something very few other production entities can promise or even offer. Invest a million dollars in almost any production, and you rarely if ever get your money back within five years, let alone the one year it's looking like it's gonna take for our guys to make their money back.
Add up all those figures above and you'll notice our gains are higher than our spending. And without any dopey marketing figures to have to recoup, once we close the aforementioned deals (which Jonn Sloss & LawCo are working to close as we speak), simple math dictates Red State is in the black – long before any wide release. That's music to the ears of any investor who only put up their money in September.
And, given a world with Hollywood accounting, where most movies are designed on purpose to "lose" money on paper, it's quite interesting (and nice) to see a different path being taken.
Now, there is one element that I'm not clear on and perhaps some of you with experience in the movie industry can help out. I tried to reach out to Kevin himself on Twitter, but the man's busy (and sick) and (from the sound of it) getting even less sleep than I do. Here's the part that I'm confused about: I'm familiar with startup investing, where investors (generally VCs) plow a bunch of money into a company in exchange for equity. In those cases, they don't ever expect to get paid back out of revenue, but through the eventual sale of their equity (hopefully for many, many, many, many times what they paid for it). However, in this case, Smith is talking about getting the investment back to his investors quickly (out of the revenue). So, if that's the case... do they still have a financial stake in the later success of the movie? Is it structured as a combination of loan and equity, where they have to pay the investors back first, but then there's also upside on the latter part? Because if they're just getting their principle back, that's nothing special. No one invests in something just to get their money back. They invest for upside. Does it work like a record label deal? Where the "investment" is really an "advance," and the first chunk of revenue all goes to paying back that advance, and then after you "recoup" (as is about to happen here), there's a royalty split? I'm guessing it's something like that, but it would be nice to know the details.
But, even without that information, one thing that is nice to see is an experiment in trying something different with how a film is marketed, distributed and monetized is already working. That's exciting.

Mozilla's Prop. 8 uproar reveals much about tech, gay rights
When Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was shown the door after being outed for giving $1,000 to Proposition 8's campaign to ban same-sex marriage in California, it was a turning point for both the gay rights movement and for Silicon Valley.
Even before Eich, co-founder of Mozilla and a top name in the tech world, resigned last week after a few days in the position - in the face of boycott threats against his company's Firefox Web browser - his opponents were under attack by conservatives and even some in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community for conducting a "witch hunt" against someone with whom they disagreed.
"It is the new McCarthyism," said Howard Epstein, a San Francisco Republican activist. "If you donate, they will come after you."
But for tech companies like Mozilla, which rely on a growing base of mainstream consumers, criticism over Eich's donation to the 2008 campaign is a warning that the inbred network of Silicon Valley has to change its way of doing political business.
"If you're a chipset manufacturer with just five huge customers ... you can have something going on in the back and no one will ever see it," said Wade Randlett, a longtime technology entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. "But folks who work for a fundamentally public-facing company need to understand that there is now no such thing as a safe, private position when you're in the public view."
The crackling speed with which the controversy over Eich's donation went nationwide also shows just how fast fortunes can turn in a wired world.
Complaints began
Eich was one of about 70,000 people who gave money to the Prop. 8 campaign, and for years nothing came of it. But almost as soon as it was announced March 24 that he was being promoted from chief technology officer to Mozilla's top job, complaints about the contribution started to roll in.
Within days, OkCupid, an online dating service, suggested that users dump Firefox and conveniently provided links to such competing browsers as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari.
Eich resisted suggestions that he apologize for supporting Prop. 8, but he resigned April 3, saying, "Under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader."
Mozilla officials said they tried to persuade Eich to stay and insisted that fewer than 10 of the company's 1,000 employees had called for his resignation in Twitter feeds or e-mails. However, in announcing his departure, the company said people are "hurt and angry" over the controversy and that it showed that "we haven't stayed true to ourselves."
Mozilla's underdog position in the intensely competitive Web browser business probably had company officials looking for a quick end to the controversy, Randlett said.
"This is not like in the '70s, when if your phone company made contributions to people you despised, what could you do?" Randlett said. "These (complaints) were coming from people who can change their browsers in a couple of seconds, with basically zero transaction cost."
Others, however, saw the Eich affair as a betrayal of the code of freedom that built Silicon Valley.
"The valley demands openness, but the first time they come across someone they disagree with, they crucify him," said Vivek Wadhwa, a fellow at Stanford University's Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance.
Other supporters
Religious supporters of Prop. 8 worry that the type of pushback that resulted in Eich's resignation could bar observant Catholics, Orthodox Jews, evangelicals, Mormons, Muslims and others whose beliefs are opposed to same-sex marriage from top corporate jobs, even though Prop. 8 passed with more than 7 million votes. The state constitutional amendment was thrown out by the courts.
"This is really very troubling, but, sadly, I wasn't surprised," said Frank Schubert, the Sacramento political consultant who ran the Prop. 8 campaign. "There's now no place in current society for holding a view that people have held for thousands of years."
Even gay rights groups like Equality California, which led the effort against Prop. 8, aren't anxious to get involved in the dispute over the efforts to oust Eich. Equality California said in an e-mail that the group didn't have much to add to the public conversation.
But Andrew Sullivan, an influential gay activist and commentator, slammed the attacks on Eich.
"The whole episode disgusts me - as it should disgust anyone interested in a tolerant and diverse society," he said in an April 3 post on his blog. "If this is the gay rights movement today - hounding our opponents with a fanaticism more like the religious right than anyone else - then count me out."
But there's a difference between holding a personal view and supporting a political position, said Paul Song, executive chairman of the Courage Campaign, a progressive group that was a leading opponent of Prop. 8.
"No one is saying (Eich) can't donate to a campaign or hold his opinions, but it's different when you're the face of a company," Song said. "No one has the right to be a CEO; the whole idea of activism is asking people to make their feelings known."
Problems like Eich's arise not only from the opinions he holds, but from where he holds them, said Corey Cook, an associate professor of politics at the University of San Francisco.
Southern attitudes
While the Dixie Chicks singing group took a huge hit from their country-and-western fan base when they came out against the Iraq War and President George W. Bush in 2003, Cook noted, the Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A fast-food chain actually saw sales rise when LGBT activists called for a boycott over the company's contributions to groups opposed to gay rights.
Likewise, while Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's call for immigration reform may be opposed by any number of people using Facebook, it's the right stand on the right issue to those in Silicon Valley.
"There's always a question," Cook said, "about who works (at a company), who uses the product and what their concerns are."

6xx fields
Use the 6xx fields to provide subject access entries and terms. Most of the 6xx fields contain subject added entries or access terms based on the authority files or lists identified in the 2nd indicator or in subfield ǂ2. Field 653 contains uncontrolled subject access data.
Input standards
If you are inputting Full-level records, subject added entries are required for items that normally receive subject headings (e.g., nonfiction that is not drama or poetry). If you are inputting Minimal-level records, subject entries are optional, but OCLC encourages you to enter at least one subject heading.
Since fields 690-699 do not remain in the master record, you must input appropriate subject headings in fields 600-651 to meet I-level requirements.
Subject authorities
OCLC defines tags and indicator values for 6xx fields to represent the subject authority of the entry and the agency that assigned the entry. Use the following thesauri or subject heading systems:
Constructing the 600-630 fields
If you are inputting current cataloging, construct entries in fields 600-630 according to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, second edition (AACR2) and Library of Congress (LC) practice. Search the OCLC Authority File to verify forms of entry.
Use current LC-AACR2 or AACR2-compatible forms of names and uniform titles. If the current LC-AACR2 or AACR2-compatible form is unknown, construct the heading according to AACR2 and the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations (LCRIs).
If you are inputting retrospective cataloging for fields 600–630, search the OCLC Authority File to verify forms of entry. Use current LC-AACR2 or AACR2-compatible forms of names and uniform titles. If the current LC-AACR2 or AACR2-compatible form is unknown, you may enter the pre-AACR2 form, but you are encouraged to construct the heading according to AACR2 and the LCRIs.
See section 2.2, "Transcribing Pre-AACR2 Copy," for more information.
Constructing the other 6xx fields
For entries in other 6xx fields, use the appropriate thesaurus.
If the topical subject heading is not derived from a standard thesaurus but is compatible with the form of headings from that thesaurus and it has value to institutions other than yours, use either field 650 or field 651 with 2nd indicator 4.
Use field 653 to supplement headings taken from the other thesauri. Field 653 is completely free-text.
If the heading is nonstandard and has meaning only for your institution, use the fields below, which are not retained in master records:
Problematic headings
The Library of Congress has established guidelines for tagging certain corporate bodies and uniform titles. These guidelines and lists of problematic headings are periodically updated and are available in MARC 21, Appendix E - Alphabetical List of Ambiguous Headings. Consult these guidelines when constructing these headings.
Subfields ǂv, ǂx, ǂy and ǂz
In each subject added entry field, OCLC defines subfields ǂv, ǂx, ǂy and ǂz. Use the following guidelines:
Subfield ǂ2
If you use subfield ǂ2, enter it as the last subfield in a field. Enter final punctuation if necessary in the subfield that precedes subfield ǂ2.
Usual practice is to spell out all subject entries, however, you should not spell out the following subject entries:
See the LC Subject Headings Manual for more information about abbreviations.
Transcription from LC copy
Use the following guidelines when transcribing LC copy:
See section 2.2, "Transcribing Pre-AACR2 Copy" for more information.
The print program selects subject entries for printing in fields 600–651 according to the 2nd indicator and in the other fields according to your profile.
The following subject entries can print:
The following subject authorities do not print:
For holding libraries profiled for LC, Annotated Card, NLM or Sears, the print program prints the selected subject entries in the following order:
Local subject entries (fields 690 and 691) print for any holding libraries. Field 695 prints for a holding library based on the library's profile. If field 695 prints in the receiving catalog, fields 650, 651, 690, and 691 do not print. Again, based on the profile, fields 650, 651, 690 and 691 may print in another receiving catalog in the same holding library.
Fields 696-699 do not print.
Printing characteristics
Your profile specifies the following characteristics for each holding library for subject headings:
In headings and tracings, the print program supplies a dash (--) before subfields ǂv, ǂx, ǂy and ǂz.
In the tracing paragraph, the print program supplies consecutive Arabic numerals.

Colorado leads the nation in avalanche deaths; mountains riskier than usual
The snowpack in Colorado is wind-battered, shaky and, as a result, just plain deadly, a host of of local, state and federal agencies warned today.
That warning should go without saying: four people were killed by slides in the Colorado mountains between last Wednesday and Sunday, just one short of a year's average for the state.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center in Boulder is rating the danger as considerable on nearly all of state's mountains from Durango to Steamboat Springs.
"Slopes that are close to sliding are just waiting for a trigger, such as a skier, snowboarder or snowmobiler," Kelly Elder, a research hydrologist for the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado, said in a media release from the agency today.
Sunday, 13-year-old skier Taft Conlin of Eagle was killed when he and two friends hiked into a closed area of Vail Mountain. Two other teens were battered but able to escape the avalanche that was 300 feet wide and traveled 300 400 feet down the mountain.
Also Sunday, Christopher Norris, 28, of Evergreen was killed by a slide 40-feet-wide at Winter Park Resort, when he was skiing with his father-in-law.
Saturday, 24-year-old Tyler Lundstedt of Fort Collins was snowmobiling with his younger brother near Grizzly Creek in Jackson County when they got stuck and triggered an avalanche. His brother, Jordan Lundstedt, 21, was able to climb out.
Last Wednesday, 43-year-old Keith Ames of Aspen was killed by an avalanche while he was skiing with friends in an out-of-bounds area of Burnt Mountain near Snowmass. The Avalanche Information Center's report of the slide, including video, is available here.
Nationally, an average of 25 people have died annually in avalanches over the past decade, according to the Avalanche Information Center's count.
January is the deadliest month with 208 fatalities in the U.S. since 1950. February is second with 193, and March is third with 158, according to the center.
Between 2001 and 2011, Colorado was the deadliest state for avalanches, with 55 victims. Montana was second with 41, and Alaska came in third with 37.
Sadly, four Coloradoans who were sons, brothers and friends also became grim statistics this winter.

In this simulation, the "EMA" developed biogenic weapons during the Vaskan-Kyrian war and tortured prisoners with a neural solvent to gain tactical information for the warship Voyager.
The EMH backup module was discovered in 3074, and The Doctor had to defend himself from accusations of committing war crimes in 2374, although the simple fact of his holographic nature was enough to make the Kyrians question what they had known. (VOY: "Living Witness")
The outer appearance of the EMA was quite similar to the EMH, except for the yellow hue of its eyes, comparable to fellow android Lieutenant Commander Data, and quiet mechanical sounds when it moved.
Like the EMH, the EMA was portrayed by Robert Picardo.

Romney Winning Over Tea Party
Throughout most of the campaign, presidential candidate Mitt Romney has struggled to win the support of the Tea Party Movement. That may be changing. Romney had a strong showing among Tea Party supporters in Illinois and Freedomworks announced that it will no longer oppose his nomination.
Freedomworks, an influential Tea Party organization headed by former House Republican Majority Leader Dick Armey, announced Wednesday that it was no longer opposing Romney's nomination. Freedomworks had previously opposed Romney due to his support for a larger government role in health care when he was governor of Massachusetts, and his support for the Troubled Assets and Relief Program (TARP), which aided banks during the financial collapse in 2008.
Freedomworks' announcement is not the same as an endorsement, but an acceptance that Romney will most likely be the nominee and will need Tea Party support to defeat President Barack Obama in November. Some Tea Party leaders have also expressed concern that Romney's main rival, Rick Santorum, has spent too much time discussing social issues, rather than the main Tea Party concerns – limiting government power, lowering budget deficits and repealing the Affordable Care Act (2010), which they refer to as "Obamacare."
Romney also appears to be winning the support of rank-and-file Tea Partiers. In Tuesday's Illinois primary, Romney won a majority of Tea Party supporters.
Fifty-six percent of voters in the Illinois primary said they support the Tea Party and a plurality of them, 47 percent, voted for Romney. Even among those who said they "strongly support" the Tea Party, support was evenly split between Romney (42 percent) and Santorum (41 percent).
Romney still lacks strong support among evangelicals, another important part of the Republican base. Santorum gained the votes of 46 percent of evangelicals in Illinois, compared to 39 percent for Romney. Evangelicals comprised 42 percent of the electorate in Illinois. Thus far, Romney has won every state in which evangelicals made up less than half of the electorate and lost in every state where evangelicals were more than half of the electorate.
There is much overlap, however, between social conservatism, which many evangelicals identify with, and the Tea Party. According to Ralph Reed, chairman of Faith and Freedom Coalition, in a Tuesday interview on CNN, three out of four Tea Party supporters also identify themselves as a social conservative.
Even in early February, Armey was already saying that the Tea Party was expecting Romney to be the nominee and focused on winning House and Senate races. Tea Party initiatives would then come from House and Senate leadership, rather than the White House.
"We are left with a dilemma that we are not going to get a reliable, small government conservative, out of this nominating process. This is why we've focused our attention on the House and Senate. Our notion is, we will get the legislative initiative coming out of a conservative dominated House and Senate, build a legislative wall," Armey said Feb. 5 on CNN's "State of the Union."
When asked, in the same interview, if he would support Romney as the nominee, Armey replied, "We would rather have a Republican president that is not fully the guy that we adore wanting our affections than a Democrat president who despises us and covets the affections of our mortal enemies on public policy."

Actually, Adventure, the Atari 2600 game that introduced video game Easter eggs to the popular imagination, among other things, now has its second sequel. Both were programmed by Byte Knight over on the Atari Age forums, and the latest, Evil Magician Returns II got an update on Thursday delivering a third level to the game.
It's the sequel to 2009's Evil Magician Returns, which references the unseen antagonist who had stolen and hidden the chalice in the original game. In Evil Magician Returns II you'll have to overcome both him and his vile apprentice, as they both personally guard the chalice. It's got keys, mazes, flickering grottoes and the bat. No word if it has the Dot and a developer credit Easter egg, too.
To play, you'll need an Atari 2600 emulator such as Stella. Evil Magician Returns II can be found at the beginning of this thread. The first Evil Magician Returns is here.
Update: Byte Knight replies to Kotaku: "You can't have an Adventure game without an Easter Egg. After all, it was the first game to feature one!"

Square One: Duly Noted
Until around a hundred years ago, the only way to send music over long distances or preserve it for posterity was to write it down on paper. Electronic media have changed the picture dramatically, and today many musicians don't bother with notation at all. But printed sheet music is still important for a number of types of musicians: classical composers; arrangers who need to print out charts for live performers; teachers who prepare materials for their students; librarians who need fresh copies of old, tattered music; and songwriters who want to share their work but can't sing or aren't set up to record their own demos.
If you need to create printed music, you may be wondering how computer software can help you. In this column, I'll take a look at what specialized notation programs do and how you would interact with one.
Product Choices
There are several high-end notation programs on the market today, each of which is capable of producing fully professional results. Among these are longtime favorite Finale (finalemusic.com), formerly from Coda Music and now published by MakeMusic; Sibelius (sibelius.com), which is published by Avid and has a reputation for ease of use; and Notion Music's Notion (notionmusic.com), which, like the others, includes a high-quality orchestral sound set. Because this isn't a product shootout, you'll need to look elsewhere for detailed comparisons, but I'll use Sibelius for the following examples.
Many MIDI sequencers include utilities for printing basic notation. If you only need to print out occasional charts for a small group, your sequencer may have the features you need. Sequencers' notation abilities usually fall short when it comes to the more complex challenges at which specialized notation programs excel.
Entry-level programs are available as well. Windows users may want to look at NoteWorthy Composer (noteworthysoftware.com), for instance. For Mac users, Adept Music Notation's NightLight — a free, scaled-down version of the company's Nightingale — is one of several choices if you're just getting started (note that Leopard is not supported).
FIG. 1: If you aren''t satisfied with the default positioning of a slur, Sibelius allows you to zoom in, grab it with the mouse, and move it in small, precise increments.
Technical Challenges
The conventions of European music notation developed over hundreds of years. To be useful, a notation program must handle a number of surprisingly tricky chores. Some of these, such as how to space the notes and accidentals in closely voiced chords, come up often. Notation software usually handles graphic spacing automatically yet allows you to make adjustments as needed (see Fig. 1). Other jobs, such as using note heads with unusual shapes, show up only once in a while (unless you're notating drum parts). Professional-quality software will handle both everyday and exotic demands intelligently.
Notation software combines graphics with musical meaning, and users may want or need to interact with absolutely anything on the page. Fingering numbers might collide with beams, for example, and have to be moved up. That's a purely graphical decision. Whether to spell a given note as a G-sharp or an A-flat, however, is a musical choice, not a graphical one, and the software needs to give users an easy way to switch from one enharmonic spelling to the other.
Notes and accidentals need to be spaced properly so that the music is easy to read and has one or more complete measures on each line. And if, as occasionally happens, that's just not practical, the software needs to be smart enough to allow you to break a measure in the middle. Songwriters need a program that can lay out several verses of lyrics and respace the notes as needed so that the lyrics are readable.
Many types of rhythms, such as triplets and quintuplets, need to be dealt with. If you try to insert too many beats in a measure, the software needs to prevent it, and if you don't insert enough beats, it needs to add rests to fill out the measure.
If you're writing for ensembles, you'll need to print out individual parts, perhaps with cues (using small note heads) showing the performer what other instruments are doing. Some instruments, such as trumpet and saxophone, transpose — that is, their staves have to be displayed with a different key signature than the rest of the score. If certain parts rest for several consecutive measures, the software will need to produce multimeasure rests in the parts, but not in the score.
Numerous symbols — including slurs and ties, dynamics markings, and ornaments (such as "tr" for a trill) — need to be attached to individual notes. If a note moves horizontally because it's aligned rhythmically with notes in a different part and that other part is being edited, the markings attached to a note need to move with it. Piano parts occasionally require beam groups that cross from one staff to the other. Instruments such as cello sometimes need to change from one clef to another in the middle of a measure.
The spacing of symbols and the curvature of the slurs may need to be adjusted by hand. Though most software tries to guess what you want, being able to edit objects with the mouse is absolutely necessary to achieve a good-looking page.
FIG. 2: This small floating window in Sibelius corresponds to the number keypad on a computer keyboard. It has five pages of common rhythm values, accidentals, and other marks that can be selected by clicking or typing.
Recording and Playing Back
Modern notation software will provide several input methods. You can enter data using the computer's QWERTY keyboard and mouse, which is easy to understand but rather slow. You can attach a MIDI keyboard to the computer and step enter notes fairly quickly, which is my preferred method. Using Sibelius's keypad, for example, I can touch-type with one hand on the computer and the other on the MIDI keyboard, switching rhythmic values and inserting rests and ties quickly (see Fig. 2). If you're an accomplished keyboardist, another option is to play the keyboard in real time while the software produces a metronome click, and then let the program figure out what rhythms you played.
If you're doing real-time recording, the software needs a way to adjust the notes having a duration that is either slightly too short or too long, or that starts or ends just before or after the intended beat. The notes' actual start times and durations have to be rounded up or down as needed to produce standard note-duration values rather than a maze of ties and 64th-note rests. You'll typically find some options in the Preferences box that will help you deal with this.
Another input option is scanning. Sibelius includes a program called PhotoScore Lite, which can interpret printed sheet music and produce a Sibelius file. (PhotoScore Ultimate is available as an optional add-on.) If you have old music that's falling apart, scanning can save you the endless hours it would take to recopy by hand. Scanning handwritten scores, however, is still in its infancy as a technology. I've tried this with PhotoScore Ultimate but found that it was no faster than using Sibelius's standard data-entry methods and was more error-prone.
Some notation programs include sound-playback engines or allow you to assign General MIDI sounds to individual staves. Listening to your score, or "aurally proofing" it, can be very useful: you may be able to hear the errors that elude your eye. You can also save the playback as an audio file, but notation software can't compete with a sequencer/recorder program such as Steinberg Cubase, Apple Logic, or Digidesign Pro Tools as a platform for producing professional-quality recordings.
FIG. 3: For swingin'' jazz charts, Sibelius lets you choose a pseudohandwritten font. Though it appears jagged onscreen, this font prints out with smooth edges.
Notation software typically includes a variety of fonts, such as pseudohandwritten fonts suitable for jazz charts (see Fig. 3). Printing scores and parts on standard 8½ × 11 paper in an ink-jet printer is a no-brainer. If you need to print out large sheets, such as an 11 × 17 orchestral score, you can save a PDF file and take it to a local print shop.
Sibelius includes a Web-based publishing utility called Scorch. The Scorch browser plug-in is a free download. Once visitors to your Web site have installed the plug-in, they can display, listen to, transpose, and print out sheet music that you have uploaded.
Producing high-quality sheet music at home can be time-consuming, but with today's powerful tools, it's easier than ever. Check out the notation features that your current software provides, or download a demo of the programs mentioned here. Your music will never look better.

Nevada Supreme Court
The Verdict Is In: Nevada Supreme Court Relies on Schneider Electric UPSs
When I think about the Supreme Court, I conjure an image of nine judges sitting on a bench, asking lots of questions (except for Clarence Thomas) to get to the bottom of whatever matter happens to be in front of them. In my image, there's not a computer or iPad in sight.
Behind the scenes, however, is a fair amount of computing power, at least if the Nevada Supreme Court is any indicator. It has about 150 users and about 200 computers between its two locations in Carson City and another in Las Vegas, says Fred Aker, network specialist with the court. Its data center has about 10 racks and a secondary location houses another smaller rack.
The kind of demanding climate that much of Nevada sees also comes with some power issues, Aker says. "In Carson City, especially, our power grid is not perfect. We have numerous power outages, quick ones, if there's any kind of electrical storm," Akers says. "Quite often I see the lights flicker and I'll run into the server room and everything is working fine because it's all backed up. All the desktops stay up, everybody's running."
That's a tribute to the APC by Schneider Electric UPS systems the Nevada Supreme Court uses, he says. In the data center the court has the Symmetra PX 70 "filled up with batteries," to provide 53 minutes of backup power.
"We can make it in from home if something happens and the generator doesn't start," Aker says. "We feel we're covered by the APC equipment. We've never had an issue where it has not worked."
To back up most desktop machines the court uses Smart-UPS 500s along with the Smart-UPS 750 for power user machines.
Asked why he's so sold on APC by Schneider Electric UPS equipment, Aker has a ready answer.
"I've been doing this 30 years and it's the best I've found," he says. "I don't see any reason to go anywhere else."
Check out the video for my full interview with Aker, recorded in the Schneider Electric booth at the recent Interop 2014 event in Las Vegas.

I will graduate with a second bachelor's degree in April. My new degree will be a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am still overwhelmed with how much nurses need to know. It gives me a new perspective on disease, and certainly I have an increased understanding of breast cancer. Still, it is important that medical information be made available to everyone in terms that are easily understood.
With that in mind, I have attempted to review breast cancer for the layman — call it breast cancer 101.
Breast cancer cells start in the ducts that move breast milk to the nipples. It can also start in the small milk-producing sacs or lobules. At the earliest stage, the cancer can only be detected through image screening using mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI technology. The cells can then begin to grow unchecked and out of control to produce a tumor. Once the tumor begins to grow, it can become malignant and push outside of the duct, which is when it may get big enough for a woman to feel on a self-exam. When cancer is found in the breast outside of the ducts or lobules, treatment usually includes chemotherapy to target fast-growing cells that could potentially spread to other areas of the body.
Malignant cells can break from the tumor and travel into the lymph system, which is designed to filter fluids in the body. The most common path for cancer to travel is to the nearest lymph node and from there into the axillary nodes in the arm pit. Cancer can also spread to lymph nodes in the chest or under the collarbone, but this is less common. Once in the lymph system, cancer cells can travel into the bloodstream and reach other organs. Breast cancer is known to spread to the brain, lungs, liver, or bones. Because breast cancer is most difficult to treat once it spreads, most efforts focus are on finding it before it reaches the lymphatic system.
Symptoms of breast cancer include lumps of any size or hardness; swelling in the breast, chest, or arm area; a painful nipple or any change to the nipple, including discharge; and breast skin that is red, scaly, or dimpled. But breast cancer may show no symptoms in its earliest stages. There is nothing available to date that can absolutely prevent the development of breast cancer, but we do know you can reduce your risk through a healthy lifestyle, including a diet consisting of lots of fruit and vegetables, little red meat, reduced fat,and no alcohol. Regular exercise can also lower an individual's risk for breast cancer. In addition, if there is a family history of breast cancer, genetic testing can alert you to be more vigilant and in some cases take measures to further reduce the risk of developing the disease.
Being aware of what breast cancer is, how it can spread, and what to look for is important in the fight against a disease that is diagnosed in one out of every eight women in this nation. This is my effort to provide more understanding and awareness.

May 2011 - Newsletter 97
Yetties Newsybits
The Yetties retirement weekend, 8th-10th of April, went with a real swing. Obviously it meant a great many farewells but the atmosphere was one of celebration. I will certainly remember all my days and I trust those who came will tuck it away in their heads as something to savour in the years to come. The event was helped no end by the weather. Those who had travelled to Sherborne from afar were treated to wall to wall sunshine and the town looking at its very best.
Thank you so much to all those friends who decided that we might needed cheering up and bought us presents. These came in a wide variety of shapes, tastes and sizes. Mountains of chocolates, roses, a Norfolk pineapple plant complete with a small fruit, which looks a bit like a stick hand grenade, and loads of cards and books explaining what retirement was all about and how to tackle it. On top of this there were gorgeous bunches of flowers for our long-suffering wives.
The sale on the Sunday afternoon was a bit of a hoot and I'm delighted to say that much of the Yetties memorabilia trundled off to happy homes. Our rooster, for instance, was snapped up by a Morris Team from Priston in Somerset and he will be appearing on their tours and at festivals etc. I'm sure he is going to be a dab hand at collecting money for charity.
Sherborne Town Council paid us a great honour by presenting us with a citation at the Saturday night concert. This is only the third time they have done such a thing and we were all very proud to receive the plaque from Jane Smith, the Town Mayor. It reads, 'In recognition of service to music and entertainment in Sherborne and the rest of the world as a member of The Yetties folk group.'
Pete is running 4 Music Nights at The Weavers Club, Westbury, Sherborne on the 1st Tuesdays of June, July, August and September. There's not a lot of room in the skittle alley so best ring Pete on 01935 814667 for tickets.
What happened to the life of leisure we were promised? On Monday 11th of April it was all hands to the pump to clean out the minibus. 8 years of litterous allsorts on the floor and bins full of (well you don't want to know). It didn't look too bad by the time we'd finished though. Tuesday it was off to the store in Yeovil to get the back seats and then to Bruton to have them installed. Back home to clear out the detritus they had found at the garage, which we had failed to spot, and then pass the bus on to it's new owners Mike & Sylvia Rodbourne from Suffolk. They still have the logos etc. in place so if you see them on the road give them a toot or a wave or both.
On Thursday (at 7.15a.m.!!!!!!!) I was down at Dorchester Hospital for an operation on my right eye. Cataracts and short sightedness all sorted in one go. The fact that I am writing this four days later is a great tribute to the skill of the surgeon and his team. Hopefully they will sort the other eye before too long. The only snag is that I can now see the wrinkles. Mac had an eye operation back in February and is also doing OK. He is in the same boat now waiting for another appointment.
I am helping to create A Smuggler's Trail for families at Stonebarrow, just to the East of Charmouth, for the National Trust and The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty department of Dorset County Council. This is a stunning location and was used by smugglers years ago to land their contraband. You can learn how they went about their trade and have a lot of fun as well. I'm not sure when it will be open, hopefully quite soon, so watch this space for more details.

Shingles also called herpes zoster, is a painful skin rash caused by the herpes zoster virus; this is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in the nerve cells. Years later, the virus can become active again and travel to the skin. Most people have shingles only once, but it is possible to have it more than once.
Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles, but your risk is greater if you:
The first sign of shingles is usually pain, burning, tingling, or itching on one part of your body or face; you may also feel as if you have the flu, with fever and chills. A red rash with small blisters appears; blisters may occur anywhere most commonly on the back chest or abdomen. The blisters usually appear on one side of the body, spreading along the nerve pathway where the virus was inactive. The rash can also form around an eye, along one side of the face or neck, or in the mouth. In a few people, usually with weakened immune systems, shingles appear on more than one part of the body at once. After a few days, the blisters become dry and form a crust; the crust falls off in days to weeks. This blisters generally do not leave scars.
For most people, shingles heal on its own in a few weeks. But treatment is recommended to help relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce the risk of complications. Antiviral medications are prescribed within the first 72 hours of the appearance of the rash. To lessen symptoms, apply ice packs, cool compresses, or soak in a cool bath, use calamine lotion to calm itchy skin, and always ask your physician about over-the-counter pain relievers. If your pain is severe, your physician may prescribe stronger pain medications.
You can only get shingles if you've had the chickenpox in the past. Those who have never had chickenpox can get the virus from you. Until your blisters form scabs, avoid contact with others.

HAMILTON - Police in Hamilton arrested a pair of burglary suspects after a foot chase that apparently involved a weapon and an assault on a police officer.
Police responded to a burglary-in-progress call just after noon Tuesday on Rex Court in Hamilton, according to a press release from the department. Officers found that the suspects, described as two black males, one wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and the other a black one, had fled the apartment after kicking in the front door.
After searching the area and a brief foot chase, officers arrested two men fitting the descriptions of the suspects, according to the release.
Edward S. Thorpe, 21, of Christoph Avenue in Trenton, was charged with robbery, burglary, weapons offenses, aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. He is being held on $350,000 cash bail, according to the release.
Desean D. Howard, 24, of Boudinot Street in Trenton, was charged with robbery and burglary. He is being held on $300,000 cash bail, according to the release.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Hamilton Police Division tipline at (609) 581-4008.
