What is the purpose of this program?
To provide an enjoyable common reading experience for the entire city of Lake Oswego and promote the public library as an educational and cultural hub for the community. This program is designed to bring the community together by inviting participants to read a novel and enjoy a series of events which expand on the cultural, social and political themes that tie that novel together.
Who can participate?
Anyone high school aged or older.
What would I be required to do?
Read the book, discuss it and/or attend events. These events are conveniently located and free of charge.
What are the guidelines for book selection for Lake Oswego Reads?
The selected book must:
• Be for high school aged readers and older.
• Appeal to a wide range of readers.
• Strengthen civic pride, foster discussion among residents, and bring the community together through the common bond of reading.
• Offer opportunities for additional citywide special events.
• Be affordable and available in paperback, audiobook, and eBook.
• Author and/or authority available to speak.
Who selects the book?
The Steering Committee for Lake Oswego Reads, consisting of librarians, community leaders, high school English teachers and high school students: https://www.ci.oswego.or.us/loreads/steering-committee
The book is selected from suggestions from the public and the committee. Suggestions can be given to Cyndie Glazer at: email@example.com.
Previous Lake Oswego Reads Titles:
2007 — The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
In honor of Zafón's tale of mystery and intrigue in Barcelona, we held events celebrating Spanish culture, history and cuisine. Frequent discussion groups on the novel complemented a special art exhibit by local artists and students, a lecture by the author, a concert of Spanish music by the Lake Oswego Millennium Concert Band, Sangria Saturdays at Graham's Book & Stationery, a special night of Spanish cuisine at Tucci and more.
2008 — Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
Greg Mortenson's story of building schools for girls in Pakistan after an attempt to climb K2 inspired the community to learn more about rural Pakistan and its culture. Events included a special tea-infused dinner at FiveSpice Bistro, a Pakistani Market, a Himalayan tea tasting, a harrowing lecture by a Pakistani immigrant, cooking classes focused on Pakistani cuisine, lectures by the authors, and charity drives.
2009 — Stubborn Twig by Lauren Kessler
Kessler's account of one Japanese family's struggles with racism in Oregon during World War II drove us to study all aspects of Japan and Japanese immigrants. Featuring a personal account of the Japanese internment camps, a speech by Lauren Kessler, a demonstration of traditional brush calligraphy, a concert by renowned koto master Mitsuki Dazai, mah jong and origami lessons, and a re-enactment of the trial of Minoru Yasui, the Lake Oswego community embraced all aspects of the story.
2010 — The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig
To complement Ivan Doig's old-fashioned story of education and intrigue on the prairie, we hosted events that evoked the time-period and themes central to the plot. From an old-fashioned hoe down and horse show to a police captain's talk about people living secret lives in Lake Oswego and even a spelling bee, we brought the novel to life in our community.
2011 — Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
The story of twin brothers born to a doctor and a nun and orphaned at birth, the book spans decades and generations, moving through history and hospitals in India, Ethiopia and America. The community explored the novel through art exhibits by local artists and students, Ethiopian coffee and cuisine, Indian dance demonstrations, guest talks about Ethiopian culture and history, discussions of contemporary health issues, and a presentation by the author.
2012 — Mink River by Brian Doyle
The story of the small Oregon coast town of Neawanaka and its people was the perfect book to do a community read and celebrate a book that was written by one of our own Lake Oswego residents, Brian Doyle. There were a total of 31 programs at 20 venues and a whopping 10,000 participants. Of the 31 events, 28 were free, including a barbecue dinner that tied into the book attended by 600 people. During February there was an opportunity to learn Gaelic, have a "cow" barbecue, listen to opera, learn about crows, see 25 artists' paintings inspired by the book, ride a bicycle with the mayor, see a photo exhibition inspired by the book, and visit the Public Works Department and operate a piece of heavy equipment. There was such a sense of happiness and friendliness during the entire month.
2013 — Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron
The book tells the story of Jean Patrick Nkuba, a gifted Rwandan boy, from the day he knows that running will be his life to the moment he must run to save his life, a ten-year span in which his country is undone by the Hutu-Tutsi tensions. While Running the Rift was the centerpiece of Lake Oswego Reads, the 28 events in 28 days offered lectures, Rwandan music & food, book discussions, art and photo shows and fun activities including an 8K fun run. Nineteen local artists and many high school art students displayed original artwork based on their reading of Running the Rift. Three Lewis & Clark College Rwandan exchange students shared their experiences. Thanks to the Friends of the Library, Naomi Benaron spoke at the Lake Oswego High School auditorium to 600 people. The nationally recognized, award winning Lake Oswego Reads program brought our community together for the seventh time during February with over 12,000 people in Lake Oswego reading and/or participating in the community reading program.
2014-Celebrating William Stafford
This year Lake Oswego Reads was proud to join Oregon Reads in the statewide celebration of William Stafford's centennial! Poet William Stafford had a close tie to Lake Oswego, having lived here for many years, and throughout the month of February we celebrated that tie by exploring some of his many poems and highlighting other works by this prolific author. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen weather conflicts, six events had to be cancelled, but we still hosted eighteen events that brought together community members to commemorate our venerable former Poet Laureate. Some of these events included a screening of the award-winning documentary Every War Has Two Losers with filmmaker Haydn Reiss, meet and greets with two artists that have created illustrations for Stafford's works, a sold-out celebration at the Newmark Theatre, a presentation by Stafford's son Kim (including a dessert hosted by the Lake Oswego Women's Club), and several wonderful poetry readings and discussions, including one with Louisiana Poet Laureate Ava Leavell Haymon. People also had the opportunity to visit the Library and view a beautiful collection of handmade quilts inspired by Stafford's poems, as well as a selection of some of Stafford's own photographs.
2015-All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
A tale of an orphan boy in Nazi Germany who has a gift with radio; a blind girl who is part of the resistance in occupied France; an old man who is haunted by the ghosts of his past; and a gem that curses whoever owns it with health and long life was the book for the 2015 Lake Oswego Reads.
Thirty-two events were held throughout February as part of the reading of this novel with over 16,000 people in attendance. Events included a discussion with a panel of veterans of World War II; French and German wine tasting; French music; an art show of artwork based on the book from 19 artists; book discussions; talks from experts in blindness, gemology, World War II, and radio; History professor discussions on Nazism, Hitler Youth, and Childhood in Nazi Germany; World War II displays; and a presentation by Anthony Doerr about "The 10-year Journey of Writing All the Light We Cannot See." This book was named the Pulitzer Prize winner for best fiction two months after Lake Oswego read it.
2016-Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher
This coming year marks the 10th anniversary of Lake Oswego Reads. And what a success this program has been, bringing the community together with well-chosen books and the events planned around them — events that offer additional enjoyment and understanding of the book.
Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan tells the story of well-known early 20th century photographer, Edward Curtis, and his quest to photograph Native Americans and their rapidly vanishing way of life. The book contains a number of Curtis' photographs, making it a work of both literature and art.
The 11th annual Lake Oswego Reads celebrated space, rockets, women, STEM, history, the 50s because over 2,000 people read Rise of the Rocket Girls by Nathalia Holt. This is the true story of the women called "computers" who launched America into space. In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly created Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made the exploration of the solar system possible.
Many more people attended 34 programs during February and visiting displays all over town. We appreciate the many companies and universities that donated their space for programs and are grateful for the many speakers who donated their time.

2 Ohio spring breakers killed in Florida crash
Published: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 6:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 6:11 p.m.
EBRO, Fla. — Two Ohio women driving home from spring break have died and seven other people are hospitalized after a traffic crash in the Florida Panhandle.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol crash report, Brittney Gallagher of Willoughby, Ohio, was driving near Ebro on Saturday morning when she drifted into opposing traffic. Troopers said Gallagher's attempts to correct the problem caused her vehicle to rotate and cross into the path of a pickup truck driven by Kelly Porter of Stillwater, Okla.
Gallagher and her front passenger, Courtney Miller of Niles, Ohio, were pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers said each was wearing a seat belt.
Two other passengers, Diana Mitchell of Solon, Okla., and Lauren Kane of Willoughby, Ohio, were hospitalized in critical condition.
They were all spring break visitors returning to Ohio, Walton County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Bill May told the Northwest Florida Daily News (http://bit.ly/WPHhJ3).
Authorities said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
Porter was hospitalized in serious condition. One of Porter's passengers, Braden Solis of Oklahoma City, Okla., was hospitalized with minor injuries. Three other passengers -- Tyler Magar of Yukon, Okla., Courtney Burnett of Edmond, Okla., and Matthew Gallant of Oklahoma City, Okla. -- were hospitalized with serious injuries.
According to WJHG-TV in Panama City (http://bit.ly/Zhi8EC), Gallagher and her passengers were all Ohio State students. Porter, Solis and Magar are students at Oklahoma State University. Gallant attends the University of Oklahoma. Burnett goes to Southeast Missouri State.

Hi all,
I would like to achieve a "Pass A" grade for the CELTA course.
For those who have done, or who have teached it, just what would it take to achieve a "Pass A"?
What exact skills (and level of skills) are required to reach it?
And, what books are the best for succeeding in this course?
If you could reccomend other threads [or websites], that would be wonderful.
My thanks to all

A guided tour outside the Glyptotek's opening hours requires a special opening of the museum. This makes the tour considerably more expensive. A guided tour for a maximum of 25 people outside opening hours thus costs from DKK 4000, including payment to attendants and VAT.

Kinda late to ask now, don't you think?
For one, it wouldn't be right to skip out on the seller, after U bid on the auction and came out as the top buyer. If you wanted people's opinions, it probably would have been best to ask us before the acution closed.
As for the gun - a Glock 26 is a good gun. I can't offer opinions on used guns, though, because I would never personally buy aused gun. But, I've explained my stance on that before.
But, I suppose $300 for that is not too bad.


text: So excited that your book is here! I would love a copy! This blog has been wonderful for this newlywed couple! A friend sent me the link as part of a wedding gift, and it has filled our table (and tummies!) many a time this past year! The best part was attempting a cabbage roll recipe and actually succeeding! I then told my husband that I had conquered the world. :D Thank you for inspiring us with yummy looking food and step-by-step, fail-proof directions!

Really? I haven't read the Bhaghavad Gita, could you recommend a reliable translation?
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.
Accepting this vision the demoniac being deficient in spiritual intelligence having lost contact with their soul ; degradedly engage in abominable activities to influence the destruction of the universe.
The demoniac, taking shelter of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige, and being thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.
The Blessed Lord said: Fearlessness, purification of one's existence, cultivation of spiritual knowledge, charity, self-control, performance of sacrifice, study of the Vedas, austerity and simplicity; nonviolence, truthfulness, freedom from anger; renunciation, tranquility, aversion to faultfinding, compassion and freedom from covetousness; gentleness, modesty and steady determination; vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor--these transcendental qualities, O son of Bharata, belong to godly men endowed with divine natur
Arrogance, pride, anger, conceit, harshness and ignorance--these qualities belong to those of demoniac nature, O son of Prtha.
The transcendental qualities are conducive to liberation, whereas the demoniac qualities make for bondage. Do not worry, O son of Pandu, for you are born with the divine qualities.

Maybe two or three of the major Upanishads were exrtant at the time of the Buddha. The Upanishads do not present a singular view, but rather they presenta variety of views on things of life and death and liberation. Much of what the Upanishads are doing is a taking from the non-Vedic forest tradtion of which Buddhism and Jainism were a part.I do want to mention one thing, which is that the early Upanisads and the Dhamma were both being formulated around the same time, and the dearth of textual evidence from the era offers the possibility that the textual borrowing went both ways. As an example, it is possible that the Upanisads are where the Suttas get the ## Marks of a Man bits, as well as the kasina disc meditations.

great work bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great work bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, this is making me wonder as I asked LSFU in November and heard, that her turn aorund time was over one year!!!
Anyway. Please post some pics of the suit as soon as you have it.
Wow! I got my new flightsuit in the mail today and is it awesome! The fabric is much better quality and seems far more screen accurate IMO.
Here is the swatch from "Dressing a Galaxy" for reference:
Here are my two suits side-by-side for comparison:
Notice the stiching in the arms? Jango had them, now I do too!
Also- look at the pleats in the back:
This makes it far more comfortable. I've been wearing it around my house for over an hour now because I can't believe how great it is. I have to take it off now so I can start sewing the button holes for my leg armor but I should have some great pictures after the event this coming weekend and I will be sure to come back here and post them. Carole- YOU ROCK and have earned all my Flight Suit business moving forward!
Thanks for posting your progress with your Jango project, it's helpful and a pleasure to read. I'm running a number of parts and about 6 months behind you with mine, lol. I also have MOW ROTJ gauntlets I'll be converting, so those pics and points are particularly helpful, as are snap/armor attachments. On the gauntlets, did you strengthen the inside any (add fiberglass/etc)?
Thanks again,
- Tom
I have on all the ones I built and these did come with it already completed. I woud definitely do it!
Ijust realized that I have not updated my thread at all (slaps hand) in a while. Since I replaced the flightsuit I have been very happy! Love it! I have also had 5 or 6 troops that I have neglected to post pictures of, but here is one from our "May the 4th be with you" troop. Yes, my temporary knee armor slid down off the velcro on that side- but my DarkSide CC's should be replacing these this weekend.
Attachment 68674
looks great Brother, must be fun out with other fans! sweet
Thanks Syper. Yes, I am loving it. I had a great troop last weekend for Make-A-Wish where I had the privilege of handing them a ticket for a whole week in Disney World. It was an amazing feeling seeing such happiness in two young boys that you could tell have been through hell already in their short life. This hobby is worth EVERY penny and EVERY hour spent. It is worth every cut, burn, gluing, and smashing of fingers. Pick what you love and start. Don't stop until you complete it, then keep repairing and upgrading it. In the end, it is worth all of it.
Edit: I neglected to mention that I have made some more adjustments and a few repairs already. I was noticing that my backplate was overlapping my girthbelt so I took a couple inches off that and it is much better! I have also received my DS knee's but they are too small for me. I have tried a couple different ways of gluing it with different pieces on the inside, but none of them felt strong enough to survive a troop when I put them on. I decided to just get a set of RKD's inner knee armor and glue the DS CC part on to the outside of that. I feel pretty confident that this will work for my thick knees since I use his knees on my custom mando and they fit perfectly.
This was Wednesday night this week. What a blast, lol.
Hey, how do you like your Crow62 boots?
Honestly, I like them a lot. Thye look great and are reasonably comfortable on a long troop. I was in kit for ~ 9 hours last Saturday. I must admit they seemed to get scratched up pretty easily last weekend at Philly Comic Con. I don't know if I just had kids stepping on me a lot there or what. I've worn them probably 10 times before that event and not scratched them at all, then all of the sudden I got a bunch in one day...
Kit looks amazing, so jealous you got to go on stage we have too many TK's taking up those spots :P
Thank you Voss and yes, I got lucky that his people agreed to have me and Cpt. Rex :)
Hi Vultana, is posible that you can scan that Jango magazine and upload here? I want for my jango photo references , well if that is possible, thanks bro.......................... o send it via pm
That is no Jango magazine per se'. Rather, a page out of the Dressing a Galaxy book. There are a few other pictures of Jango, but nothing you don't already have from a 100 different places on the internet. Sorry.
Hi Snowaure,
As I recall, there were two, maybe even three issues of Star Wars Insider that had Jango Fett on the cover (one had him and Zam, I think),but the image quality inside was disappointing (as a reference source). I was looking at buying them on eBay, but a friend had copies at home and after looking at them told me to not even bother.
Vultana, I knew that is not a Jango magazine bro, was a simple words from me, and I ask you with all respect is you can scan that and publish, thats all bro................thanks..
Azrok, thanks for you words bro, I ask because I am a Jango Fett fan in all ways, and that pictures I dont have it in my archives, thanks bro..............................
No worries. If I get them, I will scan and send to you. The cover with Jango and Zam is pretty cool.
Okay Snowaure, I'm working on getting copies of those Star Wars Insiders, I believe specifically issues # 57 and #64. I have Dressing a Galaxy, will look for those. Will scan and send to you, hopefully can have them received and scans sent to you by end of the month. I'll PM you then for email address, or you can send to me before then. Thanks for the good reminder to get back on topic here...
..So, back to topic, Vultana, question for you, or wanted to see what your thoughts were on the cc buffing with steel wool. I've started polishing my CC helmet (Cruzer BKBT also), using the .0000 steel wool under running cool water. I saw a good comment somewhere on TDH the other day when researching the method vs Rub N Buff or painting. Someone mentioned (I'm paraphrasing) that some people do the steel wool method too dark, others do RnB (or paint) too bright, but both may look similar in photos, especially flash.
So far, I feel my first "layer?" of the steel wool work seems to be running a little dark, but I don't want to overdo it and buff it away completely, though may have done that in one spot (weathering should take care of that nicely). I have since been bearing down less and taking it slower. After you did your helmet/armor, and started logging some time in the suit indoor/outdoor, photos with flash/without, any thoughts on dark/light, going back to hit the steel wool again, etc?
Thanks, and once again, great thread - thanks for sharing the journey.
- Tom
Hey Azrok,
This is one of my pet peeves about RnB that I wasn't going to bring up, but since you ask me directly I will speak to it. Mind you that this is just my personal opinion based on my experience so far with the 10+ events I have done (including a couple 9+ hour days in kit). I would stick to the CC and 0000 steel wool and avoid the RnB as much as possible. The only place I have RnB on my entire kit is the gauntlets because I purchased them already completed that way. I have found that no matter how old, dry or polished the RnB feels to the touch, it still rubs off my gauntlets and gets on my vest and ammo pouches and it is not exactly easy to get it off leather. I am constantly trying to remind myself not to rest my gauntlets on my ammo pouches, but it is hard not to do it when you get tired.
I have to admit the jury is still out for me on how long the CC will last though. I carry my kit around in the largest Stanley box with foam in the bottom, but the plates are getting pretty scratched up just touching each other in side the box. I considered using cloth or foam to protect them between layers, but I fear that it won't all fit inside the boxt then. I have to carry my helmet seperately as it it right now. I would be very interested in hearing what other people are doing to protect theirs while they travel around between events.
The cold cast will last a very long time.
The nice thing on the small scratches is they really just add to the weathering. My ab plate and gauntlets have a ton of small scratches on them that I notice but the public and even the 501st guys I troop with on a regular basis don't tend to see them. I even had one person ask me how I put them on the suit to make it so authentic. To which I had to laugh and tell him that it was just a couple of years worth of trooping and it was not intentional.
Actually, if you look at the reference shots in the gallery here, there are little scratches on the real deal too... it definitely adds a sense of realism and bounty hunting :)
I agreee TLobe00 and have no problemwith a few for "reality". I was just growing concerned over how beat up they were looking in just 10 troops. I think I am working out a better way to care for them (see other thread) moving forward and it shoud be good.
thanks Azrok, PM send with mi email to the future scan.......................great

Cisco Eos Helps Deliver the Hottest Show at SXSW — Cisco's Flip Video Sweetens the Pot for Those Viewing at Home
Unless you've been living under a rock (and not listening to rock) for the last 24 years, you've probably heard of the annual South by Southwest Music + Film + Interactive Festival held in Austin, Texas every March. This fast-growing show attracts a crowd of 35,000+ people who are there to look at the best in original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. We're excited that the Cisco Media Solutions Group (CMSG) will be participating in force this year, not only by showcasing Cisco Eos-enabled sites at our booth, but also by getting involved in one of the most anticipated shows at the festival: Killers, Lasers, Papers!
At 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 17, Grammy-winning artists Cee Lo Green, Lupe Fiasco, and Wiz Khalifa are coming together at La Zona Rosa to deliver a performance that is sure to steal the limelight at SXSW! Presented by Atlantic and Elektra Records, Killers, Lasers, Papers is an event that you won't want to miss, and now you have no excuse for missing it. Why? Because the full event will stream live to a global audience from the Cisco Eos-powered site www.killerslaserspapers.com, as well as each of the artists web sites. Not only will you be able to watch the show live from your computer, or Internet-enabled TV, the event can also be viewed from your tablet or smartphone.
CMSG has been working closely with Atlantic Records to deliver a unique fan experience both physically and virtually.
The live stream will be hosted by showcase opener Donnis and Gurj from MTV's Downtown Girls who will provide fans at home with special access during set breaks. They'll also ask fans real-time questions about what's going on at the show for a chance to win a customized Flip MinoHD™ made especially for this event. Visit www.killerslaserspapers.com/scavengerhunt for more information.
If you're attending the festival and want to learn more about Cisco Eos, be sure to stop by the Cisco Eos booth on the expo floor at stand #322 or come see Dan Scheinman, SVP and GM of CMSG, speak on the panel "You've Built a Social Network, Now What?" on Wednesday, March 16 at 12:30 p.m.

Chevy Chase And Potomac Maryland (MD) Online Shopping – Safety Tips For Shopping, Online Chevy Chase And Potomac Maryland (MD)
With the Holidays just around the corner, we are all rushing around trying to get our holiday shopping done and over with. But who wants to spend the little time they have in over crowded shopping malls with other crazy holiday shoppers? Not me. Over the past few years I have discovered the wonderful world of online shopping and it makes my shopping experience so much easier and it gives me more time to spend with my family around the holidays. The only problem with shopping online is the safety factor. And even though major retailers do everything they can to make sure that we have a safe online shopping experience, online consumers can easily fall victim to various kinds of deception, including identity theft. When shopping online there are a few safety rules that you should be aware of:
- Try not to keep any personal or financial information stored on your computer, including account passwords. It's better to store this information on some form of removable storage device such as a thumb drive or external hard drive, and make sure that you keep the files encrypted.
- Don't give your personal or financial information to online vendors unless you are absolutely certain that the company and person you are dealing with is legitimate.
- Wherever possible, use secure payment services such as PayPal.
- Use a credit card over a debit card and try to keep all of your purchases on one card. This way it is easier to keep track of your purchases and if you do fall victim to any sort of theft only one account is affected and it is much easier to dispute.
- Make sure that you are using antivirus software and keep them up-to-date.
- Be aware of any website that asks for personal information and check to make sure they have a privacy policy and go through it.
- If you have ever noticed, when shopping online, some websites have a lock icon in the status bar. If it seems locked, this is a secure website; if it is unlocked it is not secure. Make sure that when you are submitting info online that the lock icon is locked. You can also double click this icon to get that web page's security details.
- Another way to tell if a site is secure or not is in the URL itself. If it starts with https://, you are on a secured page; if the URL starts with http://, you're not.
Here at Geek ABC we want you to have a pleasant experience on the internet, you can never be too careful when shopping online. Geek ABC is a locally owned and operated computer and network service and repair company. Our computer geeks have expertise in, but not limited to, desktop and laptop computer repair, emergency data recovery, data transfer and backup, virus and spyware removal, network installation and repair (both wired and wireless), software and hardware install and upgrades, as well as remote tech support and one-on-one training.

Tour de Breakfast
Alternative commuters celebrate end of Bike/Walk to Work Week
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Sunday News Correspondent | May 18. 2013 8:20PM
Seacoast-area bicyclists work up an appetite for Friday's breakfasts, marking the conclusion of this year's Bike/Walk to Work Week in New Hampshire. (GRETYL MACALASTER/Union Leader Correspondent)
About 100 alternative commuters attended Grill 28's inaugural breakfast at Pease International Tradeport early in the morning before splitting off to their respective jobs for the day.
Josh Pierce, president of Seacoast Area Bicycle Routes, is happy to see Bike/Walk to Work Week participation growing, as it means more commuters are using their bikes instead of their vehicles to get to work, at least for one day each year. A national Bike to Work Week effort started about 50 years ago.
SABR started the state Bike to Work week event 11 years ago with the Rockingham Planning Commission and the Strafford Regional Planning Commission, and it has spread to other communities, including Manchester, Keene and Concord, through Commute Green New Hampshire. Commute Green encourages commuters to choose an alternative to driving alone at least one day a week, whether biking, walking, taking the bus or carpooling.
Easier commuting
Bike path improvements are coming with the opening of the new Memorial Bridge between Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth this summer. Bike paths will be improved with the widening of shoulders on Route 108 between Durham and Newfields and plans for a multi-use path project at Pease that Scott Bogle, senior planning director with Rockingham Planning Commission, said will help cyclists navigate the tricky entrance of the Tradeport from Route 33.
"In trying to promote biking to work, we are not suggesting somebody needs to be hard core about it and go out rain, snow, ice. We want people to give it a try," Bogle said. "By having the event, we give people a chance to give it a try, find out if they like it, have fun, exercise, save money and then maybe do it again."
Award ceremony
A celebration event was held Friday evening at the Portsmouth Brewery, and handmade trophies featuring various bicycle gears were presented to businesses of various sizes in the Corporate Commuter Challenge, for having the most employees participate in Bike/Walk to Work Week.
Bogle said he hopes not only that next year's event is an even bigger success, but that more people on a regular basis consider alternative commuting as they head into work in the coming summer days.

A lot of folks use 'em for Cowboy Action Shooting, where all the guns have to have been built before 1900, or replicas of such guns.
Stoegers are a popular gun.
Yes, they are also good for home defense. Reliable and rugged (as attested to by folks who rely on them for competition).
Oh yeah, they're a lot of fun to shoot, too.

Homeless High School Dropout Aims to be Doctor
Anti-social, rebel biker Ignacio Calles first rode onto the University of St. Thomas campus in 2012 sporting long hair and wearing his then-preferred torn jeans and boots. The young man who stormed out of an abusive home at the age of 14, choosing to drop out of school and live as a teenage runaway for three years, had defied life's odds through sheer will and a remarkable, natural intelligence.
Calles still gets around on his "beautiful, black" Honda CBR600. And he still wears his trademark leather jacket, but these days, underneath, is one of the "super bright-colored" neckties, which he will sport beneath his graduation gown in May.
Calles joins 298 undergraduates and 739 graduates at the University's 64th Commencement Ceremony at Reliant Stadium on May 17.
With a 4.0 and bound for medical school in the fall, the 24-year old achiever recalls what he has overcome so far.
"When I turned 18, I moved in with some relatives," Calles said. "Then I walked up and down every street downtown putting in applications. Jason's Deli hired me as a delivery driver for minimum wage. It was a decent income for a dropout who had a place to live rent free."
Eager and willing to work hard, he got up at 3:30 a.m. to catch the 4:30 a.m. bus and be at work by 6 a.m.
"I would work until they closed to make as much as possible," Calles remembered.
Saving like a fiend, he bought a car after six months, enabling him to take a second job at Walmart. Along the way, he got an apartment, earned his GED, then added enrollment at Houston Community College to his busy schedule.
The eyes-on-the-prize student said, "My rule was that I would do my homework as I got it and would not sleep before it was done. It paid off."
As hard as he worked, Calles is quick to acknowledge the role that luck played. A friend he met at his restaurant job was hired at T-Mobile and helped pave the way to a better-paying position for Calles.
"It changed my life because I could go to school in the morning instead of at night, and it was a lot less tiring," Calles said. "A lot of lucky things happened to me."
Medical school is his target—and he has three to choose from: Baylor College of Medicine, New York University and Washington University. Slackers don't get in. When the straight A student received his first B, he quit working in order to focus on studies.
"I lived off of my savings," Calles explained. "I had planned for that."
What he could not plan for was the academic experience he would have at UST, including valuable relationships with professors.
"They are accessible and I can talk to them about anything whenever I want," he said.
Grateful for everything in his life, including the generous financial aid he received from UST, Calles said he is a different person after studying at St. Thomas.
"UST is like a family," Calles said. "Everyone was so welcoming and good to me. Honestly, I've become a nicer person here because of how friendly the environment is. You would not even recognize me as the same person."

NORFOLK, Va. - The UNC field hockey team arrived in Norfolk, Va., Wednesday evening to continue preparations for Friday's NCAA semifinal game against Syracuse.
Before boarding the bus for the 3.5 hour trip on Wednesday afternoon, the team held its final Henry Stadium workout of the season, the last practice there for nine Tar Heel seniors: Katie Ardrey, Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany, Emily Kole, Kelsey Kolojejchick Meghan Lyons, Kate Nealon, Katie Plyler, Caitlin Powers and Caitlin Van Sickle.
Following dinner at the team hotel (which included an impromptu juggling competition with the stress ball provided as NCAA Championship souvenirs), the players had the rest of the evening off to relax and do school work.
On Thursday, the Tar Heels will hold a late-morning practice at the Powatan Sports Complex and then look forward to the NCAA Championship banquet in the evening.
Stay tuned to GoHeels.com for more on Carolina's trip and watch live on ncaa.com Friday at 2 p.m. as UNC takes on No. 5 Syracuse, the only team to have beaten the top-ranked Tar Heels this year.
UNC, 22-1, is making its 17th appearance in field hockey's final four. The Tar Heels have reached the national semifinal for the fourth year in a row and the fifth time in the past six years.

Converting numbers
From HaskellWiki
(added a bunch of content, reorganized)
m (added FAQ and Idioms categories)
|Line 74:
|Line 74:
Revision as of 19:37, 20 June 2007
Converting between numerical types in Haskell must be done explicitly. This is unlike languages (such as C or Java) which automatically cast between numerical types in certain situations.
1 Converting from IntegralIntegral types are ones which may only contain whole numbers and not fractions.
fromIntegral :: (Num b, Integral a) => a -> b
2 Converting to RationalTo convert something to a
toRational :: (Real a) => a -> Rational
3 Converting to Integral
This is an inherently lossy transformation since integral types cannot express non-whole numbers. Depending on how you wish to convert, you might choose one of several methods.
- ceiling
- floor
- truncate
- round
4 Automatic conversion
Repeatedly people ask for automatic conversion between numbers. This is usually not a good idea; for more information, refer to the thoughts about a Generic number type.
5 original
Hi, I am trying to write some funs that convert between two coordinate systems. The first coordinate system, which ill call coord1, starts in the upper left at (0, 0) and ends in the lower right at (500, 500). Coordinates in coord1 have type (Int, Int). The second coord system, which ill call coord2, starts in the lower left at (0.0, 0.0) and ends in the upper right at (1.0, 1.0). Coords in coord2 have type (Float, Float). I was hoping someone could help me figure out how I can rewrite the two functions below so that the type checker will accept them.
coord1ToCoord2 :: (Int, Int) -> (Float, Float) coord1ToCoord2 (x, y) = (x/500, (500-y)/500) coord2ToCoord1 :: (Float, Float) -> (Int, Int) coord2ToCoord1 (x, y) = (500/(1/x), 500 - 500/(1/y))
examples of what i want. i think i have the logic right :)
coord1ToCoord2 (0, 0) -> (0.0, 1.0) coord1ToCoord2 (250, 250) -> (0.5, 0.5) coord1ToCoord2 (350, 350) -> (0.7, 0.3) coord1ToCoord2 (500, 500) -> (1.0, 0.0) coord2ToCoord1 (0.0, 0.0) -> (0, 500) coord2ToCoord1 (0.5, 0.5) -> (250, 250) coord2ToCoord1 (0.7, 0.7) -> (350, 150) coord2ToCoord1 (1.0, 1.0) -> (500, 0)
Ah. I realize what is messing me up.
When i saw an expression like
500 * 0.2
i had assumed that 500 :: Integer because it didnt end in a .0. but it actually has type Double. so my problem was i would do something like this
(toInteger (500 :: Int)) * 0.2
which of course the typechecker wouldnt accept. now that i have rid myself of my incorrect assumptions i see that i should be writing
(fromRational (toRational (500 :: Int)) * 0.2) :: Float
now that i have a better understanding i am able to write my funs. thank you for your help :)

Earthquake insurance to cost D.C. estimated $175,000 a year
Three years ago, the idea of the District government carrying earthquake insurance was not exactly front and center on anybody's mind. But that was before we all realized earthquakes can happen here. And they can cause damage.
The D.C. Council amended the D.C. Code last month to allow the city's captive insurance agency to purchase earthquake insurance. The insurance, expected to cost upward of $175,000 per year, is optional only if the District wants to lose out on millions of dollars in federal aid.
The magnitude 5.8 earthquake of Aug. 23, 2011, centered in Louisa County, Va., caused $6.8 million in damage to buildings owned by the D.C.government, including 31 school facilities. President Barack Obama later signed a disaster declaration making the city eligible to receive public assistance equal to 75 percent of the cost of repairs, or roughly $5.1 million.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency requires the District to obtain and maintain insurance equal to the amount of federal aid. If it does not, D.C. risks losing that aid.
The legislation, offered by Mayor Vincent Gray, limits the earthquake insurance to the buildings damaged by the 2011 temblor, including the Boys and Girls Club at 801 Shepherd St. NW, Walker-Jones Elementary School at 100 L St. NW, the Metropolitan Police Department 2nd District building at 3320 Idaho Ave. NW, the D.C. Armory, School Without Walls and One Judiciary Square.
For business owners in the Washington area: Have you added earthquake insurance to your policy since 2011? Let me know, in the comments or an email.

:-P I'll let you know how the chlorox and brake fluid turn out.
From my experience with 4 boys:
I don't know about baseballs, but stuffed animals and ceiling fans are fun.It is possible to pee on the toilet. Not just on the seat, but ON THE TANK.
You're not having fun unless somebody is crying.You CAN catch a racoon by the tail.
It is better to walk 30 feet to pee in the yard rather than 10 feet to the bathroom.Fruit trees aren't for that stupid fruit stuff, but for climbing.
Anything is a sword. Or gun.Thankfully they haven't heard about the brake fluid thing. yet .

Protecting the data of our members is one of our highest priorities. We are most effective when partnered with our members to detect fraud. Please report anything out of the ordinary concerning your PenFed accounts immediately to email@example.com.
Change your Password regularly. PenFed recommends this be done every 60-90 days.
Never give your passwords to anyone. PenFed will NEVER ask for your password in an email, over the phone, in a text or any other communication method.
Do not reuse passwords. Do not use the same password you have set for PenFed Online for any other account.
Use a password manager. If you use a password manager, you do not have to remember all your passwords; only the one to the password manager. This allows you to use long, complex and unique passwords for all your accounts. Be sure to make the password to your password manager a strong one. Macs have a password manager built in (Keychain) and there are many available for Windows.
Use a "two factor" method for authenticating to sites if available. This is especially important for email since email is often used to reset passwords, confirm actions and as additional method for identity verification.
Install protection software on your home computers such as anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-fraud protection software and keep them up to date.
Use a personal firewall. Firewalls are built into virtually all computer operating systems. Click here for more information: Windows, Mac
Use a physical home router/firewall between your computer and your cable or DSL modem.
Turn on automatic updates for your operating system (Windows, Mac) and applications that you have installed, especially your web browser, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave and Oracle Java.
Create a second, non-privileged operating system account, for normal, everyday use and use your privileged (administrator) account only when needed, like when installing software. (Windows, Mac)
Use a pop-up blocker. Set your browser preferences to block pop–ups as pop-ups can contain malicious code.
Use a browser add-on that blocks advertisements (an ad blocker)
Use a browser add-on that blocks scripts such as No-Script, uBlock or use a sandboxing technology like Sandboxie.
Conduct online banking and make financial transactions only with a trusted computer (one owned by you or someone you trust) on a trusted network—wired or wireless.
Never use a public computer for online banking. If you must bank while away from a trusted computer, use the PenFed Mobile App.
Turn off your computer when not in use.
Review your account and transaction information regularly—least once a week. If you notice any changes to your account that you didn't make, contact us immediately at 1-800-247-5626.
Set up account alerts to receive alerts on your cell phone or in e-mail so you can stay updated on your account activity. Set up account alerts
Freeze your credit report. A security freeze prevents potential creditors from being able to pull your credit file. When your credit file is frozen, ID thieves can apply for credit in your name, but not be able to establish new lines of credit. Few creditors will extend credit without determining the risk of doing so (i.e., view your credit file). You can unfreeze your credit file any time.
If you do not freeze your credit report, check it regularly. Ensure you recognize all the accounts listed. Contact one of the three major credit-reporting agencies for a copy of your credit report.
Do not send sensitive information via e-mail. Never e–mail passwords, account numbers, social security numbers or other sensitive information to anyone.
Sign out of accounts and websites. When you have finished using an Internet service that you have logged into, sign out and do not just close the browser. It is possible that some sites may not close your session (log you out) when the browser window is closed.
Check certificates. When visiting secure sites that have a padlock, green address bar or begin with "https" view the site certificate and verify that it is for the site you believe you are visiting. This can be done by clicking on the padlock and then "view certificate" or "more information". This will display the details about the certificate including the owner and issuer.
Do not root or jailbreak your mobile device to get around limitations set by your carrier or device manufacturer. It removes protections built into the device to defend against mobile threats.
Only download Apps from official stores such as iTunes or Google Play.
Avoid connecting your smart phone to an untrusted wireless network.
The first thought that generally comes to mind when someone mentions hacking is the common media image of a dark room, a glowing computer monitor, and stacks of soda cans leaning precariously over a keyboard. Would it surprise you to find out that far more hacks are accomplished with words than technical knowledge? This is called Social Engineering, and the goal is to convince you to help the attacker do all the work for them!
How does the attacker trick you into doing this? They rely on four general strategies… appealing to greed, appealing to fear, appealing to authority or relying on human kindness.
Every one of these scenarios can occur over email, chat, text, the phone or even in person.
In all of these situations, you can avoid being caught out with a few strategies.
Memorize PINs and do not write them down. If you do write them down, keep them in a password manager or on paper nowhere near your credit or debit cards.
Protect your credit card information, so do not provide it online unless you are making a purchase from a website you trust. Secure sites typically will direct you to a secure page with a URL starting with "https://" whenever you make purchases or are asked to provide confidential information.
Don't store credit card numbers and other financial data on your cell phone or PDA.
If you have a card with RFID, use an RFID blocking (Faraday) wallet, purse or other container to protect your card from unauthorized reading.
Beware of skimmers. Skimmers are small devices that are designed to fit over card slots and keypads to collect card data and card PINs. Common places for these are ATMs and gas pumps. Some are virtually impossible to identify. If the card reader is loose or you see exposed wires, do not use it.
Identity theft can happen even if you've been very careful with your personal information. Below are some potential indicators of identity theft.

Phoenix Looks to Push Winning Streak to 12 Games Against UIC
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Winners of 11 straight games, the RV/RV Green Bay women's basketball team (16-2, 6-0 HL) returns home for the first time since Jan. 12 after winning the last four games on the road. The Phoenix will host UIC (6-13, 2-4 HL) on Saturday at 2 p.m.
In its last contest, Green Bay felt right at home at Wright State's Nutter Center, where the Phoenix turned a 37-9 lead into a 49-14 halftime advantage. Wright State shot just 2-26 (7.7 percent) from the field in the first half, and was held without a field goal for the first 14:26 of the game. The Raiders outscored Green Bay in the second half, but the Phoenix was able to come away with a 70-48 victory.
Redshirt junior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) tied her career high with 14 points and added eight rebounds, while Green Bay again contained Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Kim Demmings. After scoring a career-low three points in the first meeting this season, Demmings scored just six points on 1-7 shooting and had four turnovers. In two meetings this season, Demmings went 2-20 from the floor with only nine points and 11 turnovers.
SCOUTING UIC: The Flames travel up I-43 on a three-game losing streak, with road losses at Wright State and Detroit, and most recently a home defeat to Youngstown State on Thursday. UIC is just 1-8 on the road this season, with the lone win coming across town at rival Loyola on Jan. 12.

iSCSI Boot via appliance ports and their dependancy on uplinks?
Hi All,
I have a question in regards to ISCSI boot via an appliance port on a Cisco UCS 6248 fi. The set up currently consists of a NetApp filer (FAS3240) with a direct connection to the FI via an appliance port. The finalised setup will be eventually connected to the LAN via uplink ports, thus creating a secondary path. However, for the time being, the iscsi boot is failing to detect the directly connected LUNs by displaying the "initialize error 1" message. So the question really is whether the appliance ports have a low level dependancy on the uplinks and connectivity to the network. Has this been set up without an active uplink?

On Diplomacy and the Botanical Gift: France and Mysore in 1788
September 1788 was a busy time for the Jardin du Roi. Several months previously, an ambassadorial deputation had arrived in Paris from Seringapatam in India. After paying tribute to their host, and once they had sampled some of Paris's many delights, the three ambassadors requested on behalf of their ruler, Tipu Sultan, that the French furnish them with a particular catalogue of gifts. The desiderata ranged from Sèvres porcelains to French armaments but also included requests for crates containing exemplars of France's flora—and a team of gardeners to tend to them. Louis XVI's ministers leapt to action, drawing on their contacts at the Jardin du Roi to obtain the living specimens, and the personnel, required by their Indian visitors. The ambassadors and a carefully selected French entourage finally set sail from Brest in November 1788. The resulting correspondence, now preserved in the archives of Paris's Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, depicts the hectic process of responding to the ambassadors' requests, and details the French envoys' experiences during their journey from Brest to India's Coromandel Coast.
The French response to the Sultan's demands invites us to consider the role played by plants and people within diplomatic relations in the late eighteenth century. This paper examines the motivations behind this botanical exchange, and questions the extent to which the plants' potential economic value actually mattered to France and Mysore. It also emphasizes the necessity of developing a fuller understanding of the processes through which botanical exchanges took place, for plant transfers depended entirely on recruiting practitioners with a wide range of expertise. The paper not only underlines the significance of information transfer and practical knowledge to the history of colonial botany, but also exposes the types of information that were exchanged, and how these were mediated by different social groups. This is a paper about a journey from France to India, and it is about the making of knowledge—both social and botanical—in the heyday of colonial botany.
Sarah Easterby-Smith is a Lecturer in Modern History at the University of St Andrews. Her research is broadly concerned with the interaction between science, commerce, and cultures of amateurship in the eighteenth century. She is currently completing her first monograph, which is a social and cultural history of botany in late eighteenth-century France and Britain.

Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) kicks off this summer's free professional development seminars for scientists and engineers on Wednesday, June 15 with a talk about how to launch your career after graduation. All seminars are held in Krieger 205 at 11 a.m. and are open to all members of the Hopkins community, though topics are geared toward undergraduate and graduate students.
Tom Fekete, INBT's director of corporate partnerships will speak at the first seminar on Wednesday. Fekete works to build partnerships between INBT faculty researchers and industry leaders. He also coordinates student education and training opportunities through corporate partnerships.
Fekete has worked at Johns Hopkins University since 2009 and comes with more than three decades of experience in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, primarily in a senior management role. He last worked for KV Pharmaceuticals of St. Louis, Missouri, as Director of Operations Projects. Prior to that, he directed manufacturing sites for Astaris LLC of St. Louis and held executive level positions in research, engineering and manufacturing for the chemicals operations for FMC Corporation in Baltimore and Philadelphia. The holder of four U.S. patents, Fekete, earned his Master's in Chemical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and his Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
INBT's professional development seminars are designed to expand students' knowledge of issues and ideas relevant to but outside of the laboratory and classroom experience. Additional professional development seminars this season include:
- June 29: INBT's Student-made Film Festival; come watch the premiere of the latest group of films produced by INBT-affiliated students on their current research. Films are made as part of INBT's course, Science Communication for Scientists and Engineers: Video News Releases.
- July 13: Adam Steel, PhD, Director of Systems Engineering at Becton Dickinson, will discuss medical device development. Dr. Steel joined BD in 2005. Previously he was vice president of research and development at MetriGenix. He earned his PhD in analytical chemistry at the University of Maryland College Park and undergraduate degrees in chemistry and mathematics from Gettysburg College. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in medical device development at the National Institutes of Standards and Technology.
- July 27: Grant submission process and how to obtain funding; a roundtable discussion with INBT affiliated postdoctoral students.
