EVERY grace must come to an end, so philosophises the hungry child; and even the dominion of a Mrs. Snappercaps has a limit and a termination. She and her little soul and her little tortures may shut out all the great varied world for a little time; she may seem to engulf everything for a little time, till all above, around, below is Mrs. Snappercaps and her babies; but land must be gained at last, if it be only the land of death.
For Mr. Snappercaps that land might be the only one in which his poor good old soul should find refuge; but Undine's deliverance came near at hand when the white tents of Du Toit's Pan 1 came in sight, gathered like a flock of white birds round their monster sandheap.
The next evening, free and emancipated, she stood before a store in New Rush, where Mr. Snappercaps had just unloaded his wires and buckets. She felt very strong and very free as she stood there, with her box at her side and two shillings in her pocket, and
1 Du Toit's Pan—now a suburb of Kimberley.
page: 281 watched the wagon roll slowly up the street and out of sight.
It was glorious to be alone again. Alone, though the street was so thronged with the streaming crowd of niggers and diggers returning home from the work that they kicked up the red sand into a lurid cloud over their heads—stark-naked savages from the interior, with their bent spindle legs and their big-jawed foreheadless monkey-faces, who, though they were going home to fire and meals, could hardly get out of their habitual crawl—colonial niggers half dressed, not half civilized, and with some hundred per cent more of evil in their black countenances than in those of their wilder brethren—great muscular fellows, almost taller and stronger than their masters, the white diggers, who formed a thin sprinkling in the crowd and who, in spite of the thick dust that enveloped them, might be distinguished by their more quick and energetic movements.
Undine stood watching the crowd as it rolled past, till the sound of some one closing the window just behind her made her look round. A very swell nigger with a real gold chain and a black cloth suit was putting up the bars.
He was a gentleman who made his living principally at night, but he found it useful to have some ostensible employment which might serve to account for his gold chain and black cloth, if ever he found himself in the close hand of the law.page: 282
She asked whether she might leave her box there till the morning.
"No," was the prompt rejoinder, "not if you don't give me a shilling."
She gave it, for it was impossible to carry it with her or yet to leave it there in the street. She saw it safely deposited in the store, and then walked off in search of a bed of some kind, nothing doubting but that her shilling would gain her a resting-place, if it were only a little square of hard ground in the corner of a tent.
She went to a greasy-looking yellow canvas house with some kind of sign over it, in front of which half a dozen men were lounging. In the house there was only one woman, very gaudily dressed and very florid, whose eyes Undine imagined saw right through her pocket and purse and beheld the one poor shilling that lay there in solitude. She wished herself out in the street again, but it was too late now.
"Can I get a bed here for tonight?" she asked.
"She's a bad one," thought the woman, who, being one herself, ought certainly to have judged rightly.
"You can get a bed for four and six," she said; and Undine with her shilling made a very speedy exit.
Out in the street once more, she plodded on through the wilderness of canvas, past round tents, square tents, torn tents, and whole tents; past canvas page: 283 houses and wooden houses and iron houses, and non-descripts. There were places enough and people enough, but just no place for her. The fresh night breeze as it crept among the tents struck her chill and made her feel cold and heavy to her heart. She was now in the poorest and most wretched part of the camp which lay around the Circus, and was walking on slowly when an empty scotchcart, coming home from the Kop 1 and tearing down the street in the gathering darkness, caused her to step quickly out of its road and almost into a small open tent.
It was hardly dark yet but there was a candle alight in it, and at a great packing-case a dark bright-eyed Malay woman stood ironing white shirts. On another case close at her side, a heap of articles, still waiting to be done, lay piled. There was little else in the room except a torn red curtain covered with lions, which marked off the sleeping-place. On the floor sprawled the woman's brood, forming a motley forest of dusky arms and legs. She was so engrossed in her work that she did not notice the intruder's presence till she had wished her good evening, then she looked up quickly and curiously.
"Could you tell me where I could get lodgings for tonight?" inquired Undine when her salutation had been returned.
"No, not in this part of the Camp," said the
1Colesberg Koppie, now the Kimberley Diamond Mine.
page: 284 woman; then eyeing her sharply, "Have yer been long in New Rush?"
"No," replied Undine. "I arrived this evening." A pause followed, then Undine said:
"Perhaps you would be so kind as to tell me where I might be able to get work. I should be very much obliged to you if you could."
"Work?" said the woman. "There's work enough if there were only hands to do it. What sort of work do yer want?"
"Ironing—any kind of work," said Undine. "I don't care what."
The woman looked at the great pile of ironing on the case beside her. She must get it done that night though she stood over it till morning. So she said:
"If yer can iron, yer can come in and help me get these things done and stay here tonight, but I can't give yer a bed; we've only one and that's only sacks."
So Undine stepped into the tent, to pass her first night at New Rush in ironing gentlemen's pocket handkerchiefs and nightshirts, leaving the other shirts for the more experienced iron of Mrs. Snods, which glided over them with marvellous rapidity and ease, leaving no singe or crease in its track. By-and-by the noise and squalling of the children ceased as one by one they fell asleep on the ground or crept off to the sacks; only the eldest, whose occupation it was to carry the irons in and out, remained awake. page: 285 He was an over-worked, under-grown boy of about nine years, with a very solemn face and a pair of squinting bead-like eyes that were always trying to see each other across his nose. He wore a narrow-brimmed crownless hat, from the top of which his curly black hair rose in a great bunch; the tattered remains of a red tancord jacket and trousers covered his body; on his feet he carried a solitary boot, whose sole was loose and, at every step, flapped solemnly as he passed in and out with the irons. When not so occupied he stood bolt upright before the packing-case, with his hands clasped in front of him, slowly twirling his thumbs, always in the same direction and always very regularly.
About twelve the last shirt was finished, and Undine, half asleep, crept into one of the great packing-cases and slept soundly till morning. When she awoke she found the woman already busy putting fresh clothes into starch, and Tommy just starting off with last night's work. It was agreed that Undine was to remain there that day, and in consideration of her assistance was to get food and a bed in the packing-case that night. Before setting to work, however, she started off in search of her box. It was a real New Rush morning. The fresh air seemed thrilling with a life that even in the close man-defiled camp it could not be robbed of; it crept among the tents and houses and brought back for the moment the roses to the sunburnt sallow page: 286 faces of the dirty children, and made Undine feel brave and able to face anything. She was almost sorry when, after wandering about for a little while, she discovered the store at which her box had been left. Before it stood a digger examining some picks that had been placed outside and a couple of naked niggers who were gazing affectionately at a row of guns. In the doorway leaned the swell nigger with his legs crossed, playing with his watch chain.
"I've come for the box I left here yesterday evening," said Undine. The nigger pointed with his thumb over his shoulder.
"There it is," he said.
Undine went in and saw it standing against the counter.
"Is there anyone here I could get to carry it?" she asked. "It's not very heavy."
"No," said the nigger.
"Can't you? It's not very far," she said, holding out the shilling.
He took it without making any reply, and spreading out his white handkerchief upon his shoulder to prevent the nap from rubbing off his coat, he raised the trunk.
Undine led the way; he followed close behind; but they had not gone very far when the sound of his loudly creaking boots suddenly ceased, and looking round she was astonished to behold her box depos- deposited page: 287 ited in the middle of the street, and the tall black form of the nigger disappearing round the corner.
"This is not the place; you have made a mistake," she said.
The nigger was not a man of many words, so he merely screwed up one eye very tight and opened the other very wide, and walked off. Undine went back to her box and stood by it, looking at the passers by, but none were available for her purpose. There were troops of niggers going to work at the Kop, 1 and sharp little diamond-buyers going to look for the worm, 2 and busy diggers in a desperate hurry, with their sleeves rolled up above their elbows. To none of them could she apply. At last a good stupid-looking Kaffir made his appearance. He had no bucket or pick and seemed to have nothing to do, and though he stared stupidly at her English and broken Dutch, he soon comprehended the meaning of the scarf she held out to him; and the trunk was shouldered once more, Undine taking care to walk behind him. When she reached the tent Tommy had just returned with three loaves of bread, and the solitary knife of which the establishment boasted not being forthcoming, Undine opened her box and produced a handsome silver-mounted penknife. The bright black eyes of the Malay woman marked it eagerly, and marked also the rich red shawl that
1Kop: an abbreviation for "Colesberg Koppie" (the Mine).
2 Presumably the "worm" that the "early birds" were out to "catch."page: 288 covered the contents of the box. She watched the knife as it cut the bread and watched it as it went back into the box, and then began ironing again. Presently she called to Tommy to come out with her to the back of the tent and help her chop some wood. Tommy went, but there was no sound of chopping, nor, when they came in a few moments after, was there any wood to be seen.
Undine, who was busy ironing, never noticed this; something in one of the children's faces had reminded her of what lay in a little English grave far over the water.
The woman began ironing, too, but presently she stopped and, leaning both elbows on the table and fixing her bright eyes on her companion's face, she said:
"I've been thinking that perhaps yer'd like rather to get work on yer own account; if yer would, why, I knows a Mr. MacCuligan who pays well, he does, and he's not over-particular neither. I would not give him up, but, yer see, I've got more work than I can manage, as 'tis. You see, everybody knows me, that's the thing; they know that I'm a honest woman, would not touch a button. It's the character as brings the work. If nobody knows yer, why, yer won't get a shirt to iron," said the woman, still fixing her bright eyes on Undine's face.
Undine wondered, if that were the case, how anyone ever came to be known, but she answered that, page: 289 until she got irons and a place of her own and knew something of ironing, it was useless for her to think of taking work.
"Oh, yer could use some of my irons; I've got a lot yer see; and wood and such like yer could pay for, yer know, and Mr. MacCuligan he don't care how his shirts are neither."
Somehow Undine did not take vastly to this idea of doing Mr. MacCuligan's ironing, but she felt touched by the woman's kindness; she could not pain her by refusing to take advantage of it.
It was very hard to be a stranger at the Fields, the woman said; she had known what it was; but when once a person got known, why, there was more work than they had hands for.
"It's an awful paying thing, ironing is," said the woman, "awful paying. It's as good as having a claim in New Rush Kop, it is"; and when she saw Undine cast a glance round the empty tattered tent she added quickly:
"To yer it would be, of course, I mean. I've got so many brats, what I makes goes."
After a little more conversation it was decided that Undine, with Tommy for a guide, should set off to Mr. MacCuligan's to fetch the ironing.
"It's a long way," said the woman, "and perhaps yer'll think it round about, but the ways in this Fields is round about. Tommy, he knows the way to page: 290 Mr. MacCuligan's well, he does. Don't yer, Tommy?"
Tommy nodded his head very confidently and was soon pattering along the road in front of Undine, the flying sole of his boot flapping up and down at every step.
They turned in the direction of the West End, and Undine, as she trudged behind him, tried to be profoundly philosophical and to place before herself very clearly her own advanced ideas on the subject of labour.
How superficial were the general ideas on the subject. Is not all work, if it be earnestly done, noble and ennobling? Is not all labour worship, be it only scraping a carrot or ironing a shirt? No longer would she be bound by prejudice, but, leading a life based on reason, she would enjoy the greatness of the man who labours.
They had now reached the West End, that most desolate wilderness of gravel-heaps 1 and tents, the tents for the most part not arranged with any attempt at order but forming acute and obtuse angles of every degree. They with their gravel-heaps are pervaded by a melancholy air of decayed greatness. To Undine it seemed a more desolate spot than the most barren plain of the Karoo as they wandered in and out among the gravel-heaps on which the blaz- blazing
1The "débris" heaps—the residue after the diamonds have been washed and sifted from the diamondiferous "earth" in which they occur.
page: 291 ing sun was now pouring down dazzling light—blue gravel-heaps and yellow gravel-heaps, new gravelheaps beside tents, old gravel-heaps, where once, in better days, tents had been. Up them and down them, over them and round them, before them and behind them, their course was like that of the wind which goeth to the south, and turneth to the north, and whirleth about continually.
"Are you sure this is the right road?" she inquired of her dilapidated little guide, who was trotting on steadily before her.
"It's the way," he answered confidently, turning his head but not his body, and with both eyes still fixed most solemnly on his nose; "it's the way." So Undine plodded on.
"Why, I thought we passed this tent with the barrel before it a little while ago! Are we not almost at Mr. MacCuligan's yet?" she asked again after a little time.
"It's the way," said Tommy, shaking his head confidently three or four times, but not even looking round; and soon they found themselves in the Circular Road.
The Road was lively and busy enough, and the glare of the sun on the white road was almost blinding. A scotchcart drawn by a wretched mule and containing a huge barrel of water rattled past them. It leaked, and some ragged little savages, one white and the rest black, were clinging to the cart with page: 292 their mouths wide open and upturned to catch the drops as they fell.
"Where can I get a drink of water?" inquired Undine of her guide, the bright drops making her more thirsty than ever.
"You can buy some at the well," was Tommy's answer.
Buy some! Undine walked on and tried to forget she was thirsty, and wondered what the charm of these strange Fields might be that drew all to them.
"If we're not near Mr. MacCuligan's yet," said Undine, "I think I shall turn back. I can't go on any more." She was growing dizzy from the fierce heat of the sun, and the white tents seemed to throb before her, and the burning sand into which they sank ankle-deep at each step blistered her feet.
"It's the way, but yer don't get there if yer don't keep on," said Tommy, looking back over his shoulder but never pausing for an instant.
Undine, fixing her eyes on the flapping sole of his shoe, followed on.
They were in the best part of the Camp now, where tents were scarce and pretty little canvas houses with verandas and reed fences lined the road on every side.
Before one of these Tommy stopped.
"There's Mr. MacCuligan's," he said, "and I'll run round to the back and see if he's in."
While Undine stood waiting for his return, she page: 293 leaned against the reed fence of the house that stood at her right and looked over into the enclosure. There was a new canvas house with a pretty veranda, at the ends of which hung great Venetian blinds to keep off the sun and wind. On the veranda were some green garden benches and two large cane armchairs. In one of them sat a lady, a delicate milk-white thing dressed in pale blue, with rippling gold hair that was simply gathered into a knot at the back of her small head. Undine looked at her breathlessly. Women as beautiful, more beautiful, she had often seen, but none had ever looked to her as that woman did, contrasted with the coarse clay she had looked at for so many weeks, and contrasted with the boiling, toiling, sandy, grimy world around them. The lady's white slender hands were crossed softly over the gamboge cover of the novel that lay in her lap, and she leaned back with closed eyes, looking like some fairy queen whom a strange chance had transported into the land of dust and diamonds. Undine leaned long against the fence, watching her till she slowly opened her eyes and looked up. They were straight-out-looking, cloudless baby-blue eyes; there was not much expression in them when they fixed themselves on the head and battered hat that showed themselves over her fence; but Undine limped away quickly and looked down at her own "bits of paws," already brown and rough, and at her own dust-begrimed garments, and felt a little page: 294 ashamed of them. What are fine clothes, and a fine skin? Well, nothing, just nothing, when you come to reason about them, and just everything when you come to look at them.
Undine limped away as quickly as might be to the back of Mr. MacCuligan's compound, but when there she was astonished to find no opening by which Tommy could have gained an entrance to make his inquiries, and no Tommy was to be seen. The fence was very high, but, mounting on a gravel heap that lay against it, she was able to look over. A coolie was squatting in the shade, cleaning a pair of boots. Undine inquired whether he had seen anything of her guide and whether the compound were Mr. MacCuligan's. To both these questions the coolie replied by shaking his head and staring. Did he know where Mr. MacCuligan lived? The coolie shook his head again. Didn't live in that part of the Camp. Didn't know him if he did.
Undine dropped down on the ground in the shade of the high fence and held her throbbing head between her hands. She tried to think, but before she knew she had dropped into a heavy sleep.
When she awoke it was almost evening and the cool breeze was blowing in her face. She felt better after her sleep, though her feet were still blistered and her legs trembled a little. She made her way back into the street, and after not many inquiries found herself once more in the neighbourhood of the page: 295 Circus, and was soon in sight of the iron 1 canteen, that she knew stood next the tent she was in search of.
When she stood before it, Undine raised her hand to her forehead, for surely the terrible heat of the day had touched her reason. She looked and looked again. There was the iron canteen on this side; there was the shoemaker's tent on the other; but the tent she looked for and the box she came for were nowhere to be seen. A good-natured man who stood at the door of the canteen noticed her bewilderment and called out: "If you're looking for the Malay woman who used to take in ironing, she's shifted early this morning. If she's got work of yours there's not much chance of your seeing it again, I'm afraid. She was a bad lot," said the man, stepping back into his house to serve a customer.
It took her a moment fairly to understand her situation, and then she soon persuaded herself that it was a most fortunate occurrence that had befallen her and freed her from her possessions. Were they not more trouble than they were worth? And had not experience taught her a lesson which, as that bitter dame teaches nothing for nothing, left her nothing to complain of?
She began slowly to retrace her steps, thinking the while that she clearly perceived where her mistake had been. She had allowed her pride to keep her
page: 296 from her own class, from the white-handed, silver-voiced people of refinement and polish—that was the only reason why she had fared so ill.
With that cool veranda and its milk-white blossom in her eye, she pressed on through the now crowded and busy evening streets till she came in sight of it once more.
Just as she had sat there in the morning, the lady sat there now, only that she had now a pure white dress, and in place of the gamboge-covered book she held now a small china cup. A few rays of the setting sun had found their way under the veranda and played on the rippling hair till it glittered like burnished gold.
When Undine's dusty figure and battered hat appeared before her, she raised her clear blue baby-eyes from her teacup and looked at her—looked very straight, and said: "What do you want? Work? Yes, I have plenty of work."
Undine's eyes followed her tall graceful figure as it moved into the house.
She returned in a moment with a small child's garment in her hand and held it out.
"You can take this first," she said. "If it is well made I will give you two shillings for making it—if it is well made," she said in a clear measured voice, and, without giving the dusty little figure before her a second glance, sank down into her chair and resumed her teacup.page: 297
Undine hesitated and spoke again, for work, without needle or thimble or cotton to do it with, would be small help.
"I will give you needles and cotton, if you wish it," the lady said, "but not a thimble. I never do that; and sixpence must be taken off for the needle and cotton."
The little reed gate closed behind Undine, and soon she was again threading her way through the crowded streets—crowded with home-goers. They were all going to a place of their own; even the naked Mahoras 1 had a pot of mielie 2 pap and a skin waiting for them; but she wandered on till she found herself at the entrance of the Kop 3 they had just deserted. She sat down to rest on the side of one of the mountains of gravel 4 between which the road passed, and, when the camp below was aglow with evening lights, and the noise and stir in its tents and streets became louder and stronger, she rose up and walked into the Kop in the bright moonlight. It was like entering the city of the dead in the land of the living, so quiet it was, so well did the high-piled gravel heaps keep out all sound of the seething noisy world around. Not a sound, not a movement. She walked to the edge of the reef and
3The Kop was the actual site of the mine.page: 298 looked down into the crater. 1 The thousand wires that crossed it, glistening in the moonlight, formed a weird, sheeny, mistlike veil over the black depths beneath. Very dark, very deep it lay all round the edge, but, high towering into the bright moonlight, rose the unworked centre. She crouched down at the foot of the staging and sat looking at it. In the magic of the moonlight it was a giant castle, a castle of the olden knightly days; you might swear, as you gazed on it, that you saw the shadows of its castellated battlements, and the endless turrets that overcrowned it: a giant castle, lulled to sleep and bound in silence for a thousand years by the word of some enchanter. You might gaze until you almost saw the ivy clinging to its yellow crumbling walls, till you almost saw the figures of brave knights and lovely ladies, whom the death-like sleep had overtaken as they wandered on the castle terraces, till the motionless horse and the small arched window and the mighty dragon resting in the gateway were all visible.
Undine, as she crouched beneath the staging, looking at that silent moonlight wonder world, forgot she was hungry and forgot she was weary, and, when she grew drowsy, dropped asleep on the ground with her head resting on her work.
1The mine was then worked by surface haulage. This immense circular hole is now claimed to be the largest hole ever sunk into the earth by man. The diamonds are found on a huge perpendicular pipe, not in the reef surrounding it.page: 299
The next morning the turning of the wheel 1 overhead aroused her. It was hardly light, but the Kop wakes early, and there were many men at work already among the staging. None of them seemed to notice her, and she got up feeling a little stiff and a little cold. There was nothing of beauty about the scene before her now; that had gone with the moonlight. It was nothing now but a great oval hole in the ground where worshippers of King Gold burrow and scrape and scratch, all in his service.
Very dull, and very prosaic now—unless indeed one had happened to be so high mounted above earth that all things fell into perspective, when even Colesberg Kop with its grovelling and grasping might, like niggers and blue-bottle flies and rouge pots, have a charm, a beauty of its own.
But Undine was not high mounted nor was her soul inclined to soar that morning; rather to grovel very pitiably. She was cold, she was stiff, she was hungry, and she held the creed of the hungry—that ideas are a delusion and sentiments a snare, that the way of the world is the wise way and leads to bread and butter, and that all ways which lead elsewhere are inventions of the devil and must be forsaken. She made her way into Main Street, and as she turned the corner she saw a great naked nigger devouring a huge lump of mielie-meal pap which he held in both hands as he passed down the street on
1A haulage wheel on the rim of the mine.
page: 300 his way to work. She thought him the happiest soul she had passed that morning as she walked on looking for a place where she might sit down and work.
No such presented itself till she found herself free of tents and houses on the long low grassy ridge that separated New Rush from Du Toit's Pan. There she sat down, screened by the low scraggy bushes, and began to work.
She stitched as one stitches who stitches for bread, but the calico was stiff, and without a thimble the needle hardly went through, and it made long stitches and little ones, and worked a small hole in her finger which stained the work with little drops of blood. Yet she worked away, without pausing, for an hour, then she sat still for a moment and lay down upon the ground.
It was so strong and drawing, that earth; she stretched out both her hands and clung to it as she used when a little child, as we can cling only when we are weary and heartsick and lonely, as we must cling to something if it be only a tree stump or a stone, feeling as if we were not then so forsaken.
It was a bright warm morning, but she was cold from hunger, and underneath the ground it must be warm, so warm. The earth, the dear old earth that has been mother to us all and must cover us all again sooner or later—it would be so easy to page: 301 drop asleep upon it, so much better than to go on living with nothing worth living for.
"I will die," she thought. "Why should I go on like a fool, labouring and striving to keep a life that is worthless? I will lie still and die."
She turned her face round and looked at the grass on which she lay. Mingled with it were tiny blue and red bells and a bright creeper with yellow flowers. The sunshine came through the low bushes and danced on their golden faces, and up above the bushes she could see the clear blue sky.
It is not all dark, it is not all evil in this life; while the sky hangs overhead and the many-tinted earth lies at our feet, there will always be what is beautiful, always be what makes life worth the battle; and her heart grew strong again. Very empty life may be, very useless, but worth having while there is sunshine.
Hour after hour Undine sat there stitching, and the work became more stained and the stitches bigger and her hands trembled more. At last by mid-day it was finished. She rolled it up and sought her way back to the canvas house with its cool veranda and green Venetian blinds. The lady was inside and opened the door, looking as fresh and fleecy-white as she had done the day before. She took the work from Undine and examined it carefully.
"I don't take such work," she said, raising her round baby-blue eyes to Undine's face. "You must page: 302 take it back and unpick it carefully and wash it, or if you wish you can leave it here; but of course I can't pay you for it. It is for a bazaar and should have been kept very clean."
They were so pitiless, those baby-blue eyes.
Undine felt the tears starting to her own; so without giving any answer she turned round quickly and went out again to the hot sandy street.
As bad as a beggar! Crying for sixpence! Faugh! She hated herself.
She had undertaken to do the work, she had done it badly, she had got what she deserved. Besides, was it not for a bazaar that was to pay for a church? There should be no stains or long stitches in work intended for such a purpose. She was in fault, no one else.
"Old clothes bought here," was written in large letters on a piece of battered cardboard that hung at the door of a little wooden house. Undine noticed it and went in. She had nothing to sell but a fine white handkerchief, for which the woman gave her sixpence, which at the next shop she exchanged for a drink of water and a small piece of bread, such a small piece. When she sat down on the shady side of some gravel heaps that lay behind the houses, she held it in her hand and sat looking at it for a long time before she began to eat. She had felt so hungry in the morning, she could have made friends with the naked Kaffir for the sake of page: 303 his mielie-meal pap; and now she sat there with the lump of bread in her hands and could hardly eat it. Slowly breaking off little bits of crust here and there, she got through half, and with the remainder still in her hand laid her head drowsily on the gravel and for half an hour lay there almost sleeping, but hearing always the rumbling of the carts as they passed in the street. When she aroused herself she felt gnawingly hungry and very glad of the bread, which she still ate very slowly to make it go the farther.
Not far from her, crouching on the ground with his head between his paws, was a great brown dog; surely the leanest and lankest that walked New Rush. While she had slept he had crouched there, watching the piece of bread in her hand, and now with half-closed eyes he looked at it still.
Undine looked at it too and then at him, and then took another bite, and then looked at him again, and then at the bread in her lap; and feeling sure that if she waited it would not be there much longer, she took it up and threw it from her straight into the hungry jaws that were opened wide to receive it.
Almost without a gulp it was gone, and, resuming his old posture, the dog waited for more, but none came. Picking up the crumbs that lay in her lap, she rose to go. The dog sprang up too, and, sidling nearer to her, proceeded to perform around her page: 304 a grotesque dance, at every step of which the sharp bones threatened to protrude through the brown skin.
When she walked away he tried to follow her, but she drove him from her again and again. "Go away," she said. "Go away. Do not follow me. If you do I shall learn to love you, and I am tired; I have had pain enough."
The afternoon light was beginning to grow old and yellow when Undine, passing among the tents at the North Side, was attracted by a small figure seated on the ground between two tents. 'Twas a child of it might be twelve years. She was leaning back against an old box, with her naked feet stretched out in front of her, and the afternoon sun looked full into her face and on the great shock of red hair that hung around it. Everyone else Undine had passed had seemed so hard at work and so engrossed, even the little children in their play and the women in their talk; but here sat some one alone and doing nothing except gazing down at the half of an old iron three-legged pot which she held in her lap.
Undine came near her.
"What have you got there?" she asked, softly.
The girl raised her head quickly and looked up. It was a broad freckled face with very little forehead, and that little wrinkled and knit in every page: 305 direction, with a great heavy mouth and a pair of clear grey eyes.
Before she answered Undine she fixed them on her, and then said in a low, sullen tone, "Looking at my plant."
Undine stooped down and saw, surely enough, growing in the broken pot, the tiniest of rose slips not half an inch high and crowned with two tiny green leaves.
"Do you like flowers?" Undine asked.
For a moment the sullen look vanished and a smile that parted the heavy lips showed a set of dazzling white teeth; then it settled down on the child's face again and she looked at her pot.
"It's the first flower I have seen growing here," said Undine, touching it softly with her finger.
"A gentleman threw it away one day. It had a withered rose on it then; but I put a white bottle over it, and I hold it in the sun all day, and now it's growing, you see." She touched its little leaves softly and caressingly with her finger as she spoke.
"Don't you get very tired of sitting still with it all day?" asked Undine.
A very black look came over the child's face as she answered shortly, "I can't walk; my back's hurt."
"And so you sit here alone all day nursing your flower."page: 306
"Mostly, but sometimes the woman who stops with father don't always go out. I wish she always did. When mother was here she always stayed in, but she's dead," said the child. There was infinite satisfaction in the tone in which the last three words were uttered.
"Have you been long unable to walk?" said Undine, laying her hand softly on the red head.
"Since she beat me the night before she died." She spoke more sullenly than ever and twitched her little brown toes backwards and forwards.
"What do you do to try and get better?"
"Nothing," said the child. "One of those gentlemen that go about with the little black bags and the sugar pills, he stopped and talked to me one day and he gave me something to rub with, but I can't rub it and there is no one can."
"Can't I rub it for you?"
The child looked up half suspiciously, then her eyes brightened a little.
"It's in the tent, and Mary Jones would be angry if anyone went in when she's gone out. Do you live far from here?"
"I don't live anywhere," said Undine. "I am looking for work."
The child scrutinized her from head to foot, with the shrewd suspicious old woman's look that the faces of Field children so soon learn to wear. Then she said:page: 307
"What kind of work?"
"Anything—ironing." She would have added, "Needlework," but a short experience had made her very wise, and she knew that a man's dog is an animal more enviable than a woman's friend if so be the one is mistress and the other maid. Needlework must be done for women, ironing might be for men, so she decided in favour of the ironing.
Her red-headed little companion meditated for a time, then she said, "Mary Jones has lots of ironing in the tent, and she always drinks too much to do it. If you stay till she comes I think she'll let you get some.
So Undine sat down on the ground beside her and waited.

text: As long as HRC has been in the headlines lately, I have a question maybe someone who has been around since the early days can answer. Has there always been a walk up entry system since the begining, and if so, why? I have belonged to a club in MN since it was formed 8 years ago, and after 8 years of dealing with this I can't seem to see any benefit to allowing it. Last weekend we had our upland test, we were planning on around 15+ dogs per test per hearsay, so we purchased birds accordingly. Ended up with 12 and 9, pretty hard to make any money with 40 birds left over. Same goes for the summer test, you never know how many birds to get, how much help, how many lunches ect. .. We have used EE and charged a $15.00 walk up fee and you still have walk up's. It sure would make it easier on the clubs if this was changed.

(Updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, July 2014.)
Herb Scissors, my newest kitchen infatuation, to cut the basil into thin strips.
Mini Salad and Herb Spinner.
Chicken Salad with Basil and Parmesan
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted from one that appeared on the Best Foods site.)
4 cups diced cooked chicken, cut in 3/4 inch pieces
(If you're cooking chicken for this recipe, use 4 chicken breasts to get 4 cups diced chicken. See below for cooking instructions.)
3/4 cup mayo (Can use half regular mayo and half light mayo if you want less fat)
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sliced green onion (or more)
1/2 cup sliced fresh basil leaves (or more)
3 T. grated Parmesan, Asiago, or Romano cheese
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Ingredients for Cooking Chicken:
1 can (14 oz.) low-sodium chicken broth
2 cans water
2 tsp. Italian Herb Blend (or Poultry Seasoning will work too)
While the chicken cools, slice the basil leaves (and wash if needed), chop green onions, and measure the freshly-grated Parmesan. When it's cool, dice chicken into pieces about 3/4 inch square and place into medium-sized bowl.
Combine mayo and buttermilk, whisking until it's smooth. Then stir in green onion, Parmesan, and basil. Add dressing to the chicken in the bowl and gently mix until chicken is well coated with dressing. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. This can be served immediately or chilled slightly before serving. This will keep in the fridge for about a day, but it's best freshly made.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Fantastic location. Very small elevator. We are travelling with a baby and had to take the wheels of the stroller when going in to the elevator. Lovely staff who provided both a highchair and a bathtub for babies. Fantastic. The gas stove was a little tricky to get going and the water heater has a life of its own (you never know when to expect high or low temperatures when showering). One bwd is really good the other is not as nice but not a big problem if you are staying for a short time.Would stay here again without a doubt.
We stayed for 2 weeks. Fast service and the host also answered emails fast. Really a great flat and location, although the toilet door is a thin wardrobe door which is hard to close.
The house was nice and clean. All necessary things were provided. It is in a comfortable central area of the city, perfect for group of friends. The owner was very friendly and cordial.
The only disadvantage is the gas water heater is placed too close to the passing area with open fire that can be dangerous.
Everything was great. Nice flat, evth is like on the pics and as described. Thanks a lot.
Wonderful flat with great balcony which offer a great view on the Danube. Very well situated, almost all can be visited by foot so I can only recommend it to everyone who wants to have a trip in Budapest.
Comfortable and cozy apartment in the heart of Budapest. It is an excellent base for exploring the city - near the Parliament, Margaret Island, the train station and subway. Contact with apartment caretaker was hassle free. I would recommend.
Organization: top
Apartment: very nice
Location: top (inner city but quiet)
Any time again :-)
Thank you.
The apartment was in an elegant old building in a fantastic location. Very easy to get places via metro. But the view! We hated to ever go anywhere and indeed got food at the local grocer and ate and had wine on the balcony at night! The crazy shopping street is on the corner Vaci Utca and lots to offer..but kind of a tourist trap. But fun as is the market hall. I had a Thai massage the first day after being sore from traveling at Spirit massage around the corner and it worked miracles! Security was excellent and the hosts were very helpful, even arranging transport from the airport. Great Gypsy music at restaurant next door. The apartment was amazingly quiet for the location. Budapest is the most beautiful city ( sorry Paris !) and we live in Charleston SC - one of the best cities to visit. Prices were incredible and the food, wine were excellent! We're going you'll some strings to be able to get back on business. And I would not want to stay anywhere else but this same apartment! The photos can't do it justice, truly breathtaking view.
Everything was perfect!

While you were sleeping: Walt Disney, Time Warner gain
Article – BusinessDesk
Feb 7 (BusinessDesk) Investors applauded the earnings and outlooks of Walt Disney and Time Warner, yet Wall Street failed to find momentum amid renewed concern about Europe's ability to commit to the austerity required to kick-start the region's economy.
While you were sleeping: Walt Disney, Time Warner gain
Feb 7 (BusinessDesk) – Investors applauded the earnings and outlooks of Walt Disney and Time Warner, yet Wall Street failed to find momentum amid renewed concern about Europe's ability to commit to the austerity required to kick-start the region's economy.
Shares of Walt Disney gained, last up 1.2 percent to US$54.93 after earlier rising as high as US$55.50, after the company's quarterly profit surpassed expectations and painted a positive picture of its outlook.
"We're very pleased with our first-quarter results, which set the stage for continued growth in 2013, following a year of record revenue, net income and earnings per share in 2012," Disney Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo told analysts during a call, according to Reuters.
Time Warner earnings also beat estimates, boosting its shares 4.2 percent. The company also lifted its dividend and announced a new share buyback program.
"The big surprise here is the incremental return of capital to shareholders with the new dividend and buyback," Janney Capital Markets analyst Tony Wible told Reuters.
And shares of Hewlett-Packard gained, last up 1 percent, amid reports the company is considering a breakup.
In afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a 0.04 percent gain, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index edged 0.02 percent higher, and the Nasdaq Composite Index added 0.08 percent.
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index finished the session with a 0.4 percent drop from the previous close. Equities also fell in Frankfurt and Paris, closing 1.1 percent and 1.4 percent weaker respectively. London gained 0.2 percent.
Weighing on the mood in the euro zone is the increasing popularity of former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi ahead of elections later this month. A poll by Tecne institute for SkyTG24 showed that Berlusconi is closing the gap on front-runner Pier Luigi Bersani to 0.3 percentage points.
Berlusconi's policies are at odds with the austerity sought by European Union leaders as they continue to battle the region's debt crisis and revive growth in its economy.
EU leaders are set to start a two-day meeting on Thursday aimed at finding agreement over the bloc's next budget.
Policy makers at the European Central Bank are also meeting tomorrow, as are their counterparts at the Bank of England.
The euro weakened against the greenback, last 0.4 percent lower at US$1.3526.
The yen continued its slide against the US dollar amid signs of aggressive monetary easing ahead. Yesterday Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa announced that he would step down next month, three weeks before the official end of his term.
"It's the equivalent of waving a white flag for unconditional surrender," Shuichi Obata, senior economist at Nomura Securities in Tokyo, told Bloomberg. "Shirakawa didn't share the government's view that the central bank is responsible for ending deflation."
Liberty Global confirmed it is buying Virgin Media for about US$15.75 billion in stock and cash in a deal that it is worth more than US$23 billion including debt and is aimed at growing the US company's share of the European market.

"Save America's Treasures" has been totally eliminated—the largest Federal program supporting preservation of such treasures as the original Star Spangled Banner and George Washington's tent.
65% of Americans don't know what happened at the Constitutional Convention, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
The "Teaching American History" grants—the largest Federal program supporting history education—have been completely eliminated.
Visits to the Top 20 Civil War battlefields have dropped in half from 1970 to 2009 according to official National Park Service statistics.
40% of Americans can't identify whom we fought in World War II, according to a recent survey by Newsweek.
A quarter of Americans believe Congress shares power over U.S. foreign policy with the United Nations, according to a recent Annenberg survey.
"There is little that is more important for an American citizen to know than the history and traditions of his country," John F. Kennedy wrote in American Heritage.
The "We the People Program," which touched some 30 million students and 90,000 teachers over 25 years, has been completely eliminated.
Two-thirds of Americans could not correctly name Yorktown as the last major military action of the American Revolution, according to a recent national Gallup survey.
The National Heritage Areas and Scenic Byways program, the only major Federal program encouraging visits to historic places, has been completely eliminated in Congressional committee.
John Reed was as American as apple pie and store cheese. Yet he was one of the founders of the Communist International, and his ashes lie under the Kremlin wall. From a mansion on Cedar Hill in Portland, Oregon, through respectable Harvard College, to the Kremlin wall in the heart of Moscow—such is the trajectory of his life. Except that his further evolution was cut short by untimely death, it was the trajectory, too, of the pre-igi^ Greenwich Village radicalism of which he was an integral part.
In the summer of 1918, with Russia removed from World War I as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, the United States sent troops into Russia at two points. It did so only after the greatest soul-searching on the part of President Wilson, who had said that "the treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations … will be the acid test of their good will …" Two factors influenced the decision. In the Far East, Japan had made a move to occupy Siberia, apparently threatening America's "open door" policy for China. In North Russia, English and French leaders had hopes of reviving the eastern front against Germany. In addition, large stores of Allied war supplies had been left at the port of Archangel. The expedition to North Russia resulted in fierce combat between American and Soviet soldiers and throws significant light on the forty years of difficult relations between the United States and the Soviet Union that were to follow.

Religion and America's culture war to be topic of Kristol lecture, March 11
Posted March 6, 2003; 03:33 p.m.
Political analyst and commentator William Kristol will deliver a lecture titled "Under God? Is Religion at the Heart of America's Culture War?" on Tuesday, March 11. The lecture will begin at 4:30 p.m. in 104 Computer Science Building.
Kristol is editor of The Weekly Standard, an influential political magazine. He regularly appears on major television public affairs shows. His writings on political philosophy, American political thought and public policy are featured in both popular and academic journals. He served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle during the George H.W. Bush administration and to Secretary of Education William Bennett under President Reagan.
He is expected to discuss the tendency of secular liberals to differ from many religious believers -- including many Jews and Christians -- on morally charged issues of constitutional law and public policy. He will focus on examples such as the war on terrorism, bioethics and the Pledge of Allegiance controversies.
The lecture is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions as part of its series on "America's Founding and Future."

Marquette University is an academic leader among Catholic Jesuit universities in the United States with an enduring mission centered on the four pillars of excellence, faith, leadership and service. The university is known for its commitment to liberal education through a core of common studies that fosters learning grounded in critical thought and ethics and well-respected undergraduate and graduate colleges, schools and programs in communications, law, dentistry, nursing, engineering and the health sciences.
To fulfill its mission and leadership role in the Marquette University community, the Libraries prioritizes the delivery and creation of content and services "that focus on the needs of today and the possibilities of tomorrow."

Over the past five years, Raynor Memorial Libraries has significantly increased its e-resource acquisitions while simultaneously upgrading and enhancing library information technologies, such as through the creation of a "digital studio" for campus use. The Libraries' enhanced focus on digital curation has led to significant advances, including the creation of an institutional repository for faculty and student research and the digitization of unique collections. The Libraries has extended its services to accommodate the proliferation of mobile devices and applications, thereby expanding its ability to deliver information both within and beyond the walls of the library. The Libraries has also recast its image, evolving from a "study hall with books" to a dynamic learning environment that continues to offer space for individualized research. Given these and other changes in the landscape for providing the Marquette community with critical services and resources, the Libraries has engaged in meaningful restructuring to strengthen organizational capacity.
The strength of Raynor Memorial Libraries lies in its unwavering commitment to advancing "intellectual inquiry and discovery by connecting the Marquette community with information and knowledge."

text: I am entirely unsure what I'm going to do for lunch, even now when I'm supposed to be making a decision of whether to go out to pick up someone for a lunch or not. My ribs no longer feel like they're being kicked every time I cough, but I am lightheaded just from doing a light load of laundry (linens! alliteration!) and still coughing a little. So, either Souplantation or a 6th day of frozen meals and/or cans of soup.

Anybody have any favorites they'd like to see sequels for? Anyone think a certain movie is in need of a proper sequel? Let's hear 'em!
These are my choices (starting with some in development/ production that I can't wait to see!):
Episode 3 (naturally!)
The Two Towers & Return of the King (The next best thing to Star Wars!)
Spider-Man (of course!)
X-Men 2 (ditto!)
MIB 2 (looks to be good fun! Could Big Willy Weekend be making a comeback?)
Terminator 3 (even if it sucks it should still be cool!)
King Conan (I'm really diggin' the idea of Vin Diesel as Arnie's son! Can't wait to see Schwarzenegger take of a few more heads!)
David Fincheer's Mission: Impossible 3 (if anyone can get it right it'll be him!)
Bad Boys 2 (an admittedly guilty pleasure, but one that I think could end up being a lot of fun!)
Ghostbusters 3 (in spite of what Harold Ramis thinks, I feel it can be done, and certainly should!)
Crouching Tiger (I recall hearing rumblings of a Chow Yun Fat starring prequel after the movie became a success. The story already exists!)
Fifth Element 2 (hearing rumors of "Mr. Shadow" a while back piqued my interest!)
Aliens vs. Predator (anyone who doesn't see the potential in this project is just blind. These properties desperately NEED this film made!)
Galaxy Quest 2 (could maked for a damned fun flick!)
Unbreakable 2 (I'm dying to see what happens next! But only if M. Night takes his time to come up with a story that's at least as good as the first. Otherwise nevermind!)
Sleepy Hollow 2 (I envision Burton's Constable Crane taking on various spirits and monsters in a sort of Colonial era X-Files. No Horsemen necessary!)
Evil Dead 4 (Hail to the King, baby!)
a new Cheech and Chong flick (but only by Tarantino. Maybe Robert Rodriguez.)
a new Pee-Wee Herman flick (it's been too long! It'd have to be Burton too.)
Lost in Space 2 (I know a lot of people will call me delusional, but I actually really liked the first one, and thought it made a promising start for what could've been a great franchise!)
The Princess Bride (but only if William Goldman can come up with a worthy story. I love the original so much that I'm dying for a sequel!)

text: What I've done before, and what I've just now scheduled for Sept 15, is to take a walk down the Pacific coast. In past years, I've walked from Pacifica to around Half Moon Bay. It can be done in one long day, or, better yet, over a few days, staying in hostels on the way. There is some beautiful coastline, very fine beaches, excellent mountain trails with wildflowers and breathtaking vistas, and, most importantly, a chance to get the hell away from it all. The last couple of times I've done it, it's restored me to sanity. Ten more days. I can hardly wait.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for managing networks. Each managed entity in the network will run an snmp server (snmpd) which is going to collect datas from the server such as networking, load, cpu ...
Cacti on the other hand is a frontend to the RRDTool with SNMP support. It collects and keep data in a MySQL database and display them through a PHP web frontend.

Well, that beast we know as reality tv may just find its way into comic books. Wondering how this is possible? Well, nothing's been guranteed yet, but with how well super hero films are doing lately, and how well reality tv has proven to be, I just can't see this one being turned down forever. Well, enough of my talking, you want to read what the heck I am rambling on about, so here:
Lee & Nash Creating Superhero Reality SeriesReality veteran Bruce Nash ("Meet My Folks") has teamed with comic book king Stan Lee to search for the next big superhero, reports Variety. The mild-mannered duo will be pitching a fantasy-meets-reality show to the networks.
Project will begin with an open call for contestants who have created their own idea for a superhero. Dressed as their creation, participants will be judged by a panel of celebs who have played heroes in the past (think Lynda Carter).
Semifinalists, under the guidance of Lee, will then get to see their creation come to life as their costumed creations are professionally designed via a "superhero makeover." The remaining contestants will then be thrown into classic superhero situations (save the damsel in distress!).
"We'll put them in scenarios that will be right out of the pages of comic books," Nash said. "We'll try to put obstacles in their paths and exploit their weaknesses."
Nash said he and Lee will scout for both male and female superheroes, and may also put out a call for supervillains.
Lee will likely create a comic book franchise for the eventual winners of the show; depending on the project, the top superhero idea could also find itself in feature development.

Comic Hiatus
So kidnemo needs to take a break. The last couple of months I've had a lot of changes in my life, all of them good, but I have lots of new stuff that is taking up my (already scarce) time.
I am just not able to keep comet 7, kristy vs. the zombie army, and washed ashore going with the amount of free time I have each week.
So I've decided to take a break.
I'm not sure how long it will be and all the sites will stay in place where they are. The store will still stay open. And the buy one t-shirt get one t-shirt deal will continue. I'll still be updating the store page with all of the updated stock as I sell through it.
When will I be back? I'm not sure. Sooner? Later? I really don't know. I just need to reevaluate my schedule and figure out where I can fit things in.
What will be the best way for you to keep track of me? Well, I'm guessing the next project I'll be updating is http://www.washedashorecomic.com/the washed ashore comic so I'd say add the washed ashore RSS feed to your reader and I'll update that as soon as I get back.
You can also join the zombies in my mailbox mailing list which I'll update when I'm back as well. Of course there is always my myspace page which I'll keep updated as well as my deviantart page.
It has been a great run and I look forward to being back. Thanks much to everyone who has supported, encouraged, emailed, chatted, or in any way gave me a positive nod. You have made this entire webcomic experiment great and I look forward to keeping in touch with all the rad people I've met.
I'll see ya when I see ya,
p.s. keep it ninja!
buy one get one t-shirt sale
Alright first the bad news... there is no update for today. I know, that's two weeks in a row and I'm a total jerk.
The last few weeks I've been absolutely busy. Busier than I have been in years and I've had to let a few things slip through the cracks. Sadly for the last two weeks it has been the zombie army. :(
The good news is that I'm running a totally kick butt sale in the zombie army and comet 7 store to clean out all of the old t-shirt designs. If you buy any t-shirt, you get a second t-shirt totally free!
Tell me that is not awesome? And just in time for the holidays! You can visit the comic store right now and get all the details.
Supplies are limited so get up on this asap!
Heya all!
No update today. With the way the holidays fell and how my schedule has been, I just didn't have the time to get the update finished. Especially if I valued my sanity... and sleep time.
So I will see you back here next week for your normally scheduled update and in the mean time why don't you go read some comet 7 yah?
I hope you like today's zombie army update, it turned out pretty cute I think. We are only a few more pages from the end of this chapter. How's it gonna end you are thinking? You are just gonna have to wait and see I'm thinking.
Don't forget to swing by the comet 7 and see today's comic and vote incentive drawing and I will see you cats back here next week.
Thanks for reading!
ooh ooh ooh
I played a few hours of videogames last night. Specifically a little World of Warcraft. I'm about as casual as you can be about that game, but it is still fun times I think.
In between bouts of killing monsters I finished up today's update for you. I like how this page turned out and I hope you will too. I like bugs, especially giant ones.
If you would like some more comics from me, maybe you should stop by comet 7 dot com and see today's comic and vote incentive doodle. Neato stuff all around.
Have a safe weekend and I will see you back here next update!

Re: Defaults Scheduled for Review by the Disciplinary Review Board The following matters have been certified to the Disciplinary Review Board as defaults, in accordance with R.1:20-4(f):
In the Matter of Eugene M. LaVergne Docket No. DRB 02-446
These matters are scheduled to be reviewed by the Board on Thursday, February 6, 2003. R.1:20-4(f) provides that an attorney-respondent's failure to timely file an answer "shall be deemed an admission that the allegations of the complaint are true and . . . provide sufficient basis for the imposition of discipline." Although chances for a successful motion are limited, a motion to vacate the default may be filed with the Board by no later than January 27, 2003. MOTIONS RECEIVED AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL NOT BE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD. The motion should specify why the attorney-respondent failed to file a timely answer (including lack of notice) and should set forth any claimed meritorious defenses to the ethics charge. The motion must also be simultaneously served on the Director of the Office of Attorney Ethics and, where appropriate, the district ethics committee responsible for the underlying ethics matter. A certification regarding that service must accompany any documents filed with the Board.
Respondents may communicate with the Board by contacting the Office of Board Counsel at:

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.
Sweating - excessive; Perspiration - excessive; Diaphoresis
Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.
Excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Persons with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional.
When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it is called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In most cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.
If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body or it may be in one area. Conditions that cause second hyperhidrosis include:
The primary symptom of hyperhidrosis is wetness.
Visible signs of sweating may be noted during a doctor's visit. Tests may also be used to diagnose excessive sweating, including:
You may be also be asked details about your sweating, such as:
Treatments may include:

Marcos was really nice as he welcomed us.. Nice accomodation, huge bed, really comfy and our room was towards the backyard, therefore really quiet. The bathroom was good, too. Only the flush of the toilette wasn't strong enough to flush paper.. therefore we had to put it into a bin next to it.. But all in all, for 3 nights it was a great accomodation. Especially because it is near to Liverpool Street station. Just approx. 3 mins to walk.
Location is key to this accomodation. It is perfectly located!
Marcos is very friendly and nice.
The room was very good for the price paid. That means, that it is big enough and also clean for english standards.
I would recommend it. Hotels for double the price are often not nicer at all! I will come back.
Apartment was clean, secure location. Shared bath for 4 rooms made it difficult to coordinate times for shower and toilet. Plumbing issues necessitated throwing toilet paper in the trash instead of flushing. Marcos accommodating to time to receive keys, housekeeping there daily to empty trash and take care of common areas.
was my second time that I've been here, everything was really nice as always. Marcos is very kindly and the room is clean and with all the services, tv with dvd, fridge, big wardrobe, confortable bed and clean share bathroom. So thank you again Marcos, see you next time ;)
Very good location, the place was clean and nice, kitchen fully equipped. I had nice stay at Marcos' place.
When arriving first, the house looks abandoned from the outside but having entered and moved towards flat on the 2nd floor, the apartment/ room is spacious and clean (so is the shower and separate toilet) and everything looks exactly like on the pictures! Precaution when coming by car as it is not easy to find with this narrow streets. It makes it difficult to find your way back/out of the labyrinth. The kitchen is equipped with a washing machine and many facilities to cook (iron board etc is also available). Although near Liverpool station and bars/ restaurants near by, the place is absolutely quiet. All in all, worth trying!
Las fotos no se corresponden a la realidad!!! El apartamento está peor de lo que se ve en las fotos, y si se intenta contactar con el propietario es imposible. Nosotros llegamos allí y nos encontramos perdidos ya que nadie nos avisó de lo que se tenía que hacer.
Muy lamentable, no lo recomiendo para nada.

Just saw an advertisement for a product called Fido Vite. I was impressed that Mary Howley of Candlewood Kennels was endorsing it. Thought about trying it but basically my 6 month old pup is healthy and has a good coat. Currently feed Pro Plan Sport and give a couple tuna oil pills (that Doc E sells) a day.
Are these probiotic supplements necessary and/or worth the cost?

Driver who rammed military base fence is captured
BOISE, Idaho - Boise police have arrested a driver they say fled two traffic stops, tried to hit an officer's vehicle and barreled through a fence at a military base.
Police say they found 30-year-old Andrew P. Garza of Surprise, Arizona, on Sunday afternoon after a five-hour search. No one was hurt in the incidents.
Starting at 11:15 a.m., officers tried to stop a Chevrolet pickup twice in a five-minute period. The driver fled both times. Minutes later, police say Garza tried to ram a patrol vehicle, but the officer behind the wheel moved and wasn't injured.
The suspect then drove through a fence at Gowen Field before fleeing on foot. He was spotted hours later hiding in bushes.
Police say Garza was released from an Arizona prison 21 days ago. A listed number for Garza couldn't be located.
