DEAR MARY: I have a food vacuum sealer but find that it mashes and mangles delicate items, like cookies, bread and brownies.
The main reason I got this machine was so I could send home-baked goodies to family and friends far away. Now what do I do? I could use a canister, but they are expensive, and I wouldn't want to mail that. My machine is not a fancy model, so there is no way to "half vacuum" the air out before the crushing begins, if that's even an option on more expensive models. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! —Julianne, Illinois
DEAR JULIANNE: I have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer that I use all the time. In fact, this is my third in 25 years. I use it every day and swear by it. My current model does have a manual override option that allows me to complete the seal before delicate items get crushed beyond recognition. But all is not lost if you do not have this feature.
Freeze the items before sealing them. In a frozen state, delicate items are harder to mangle.
My FoodSaver has paid for itself many times over — but only because it has a permanent place on my kitchen counter with the bags and attachments always at the ready.
DEAR MARY: We need your advice. My husband and I are thinking about putting an addition onto our house. I am 60, and he is 61. I am employed, and my annual income is about $45,000. My husband is on Social Security disability. We have around $85,000 in retirement accounts, $8,000 in credit-card debt, $1,500 in savings, and 15 years to go on our $73,000 mortgage.
Our daughter and grandchild live with us now, but she says she will be moving out soon. Our other daughter just got divorced, so she and her kids may be moving in. If we do build, should we take out a home equity loan or should we refinance the whole thing for 30 years? Or should we not do it at all? — Maggie, Connecticut
DEAR MAGGIE: Improving your home by adding to your debt would be, in my opinion, a big mistake, given your husband's limitations, your age and your considerable debt. My advice is not to do it at all.
In the years before you retire, your primary focus needs to be on making sure that all of your debts are paid in full, including your mortgage. You are far from that place, even though you have accumulated some funds in your retirement accounts — money you should not touch at this time.
With each year that passes, the chance of you being able to continue to work full-time diminishes considerably, which makes getting debt-free sooner than later even more urgent.
If you increase your debt now to improve your home to accommodate returning children, you will soon discover you are so far off course it may be impossible to recover in the work years you have remaining. You need to concentrate all of your energies — physical, emotional and financial — on getting ready for the next 25 or 30 years of your lives.
As difficult as it will be to break the news to the kids, making sure you do not become a financial burden to your children is the best gift you can give to them.

November has become the month when men up and down the country grow a mustache in order to raise money for prostate cancer. But in Hull, England, one "Movember" participant stands out: she's, well, a she. Sarah O'Neill has decided to forgo her depilatory regime this month in order to raise awareness of polycystic ovary syndrome, which often plagues sufferers with excess hair. The 29-year-old, originally from Belfast, said she was daring to grow her facial hair in the hope that others would gain a greater understanding of the fairly common health problem.
"I wasn't diagnosed with PCOS until I was 22, but I had been used to the stares for years. For a while I worked in a mobile phone shop and often, when I refused a customer a contract – usually a young man – he would get cross and make a mean comment about my mustache. It was very hurtful," she said in a phone interview this week.
Last month O'Neill, an account manager for a kitchen and bathroom company, successfully completed another charity feat by not touching alcohol for the Go Sober October campaign for Macmillan Cancer Support. "I realized I must have some willpower and I remembered that my cousin had done Movember a few times before, so I decided to do it too. I think I've stolen his thunder a little now."
At the start of November, O'Neill had her first ever shave, which she filmed for posterity – "I've never done that before – usually I use some special cream I get prescribed by my GP, or tweezers or an epilator," she said. "But for once I want to grow the best mustache I can, so I thought I'd shave in case that encouraged hair regrowth." O'Neill's facial hair is mostly blonde, with the occasional ginger sprouting. Seen from the wrong angle, she says, it can sometimes "look as though I've got a handlebar mustache."
When I spoke to O'Neill, she was on day six and rather enjoying the experience. "It's very liberating not having to spend half an hour sorting my moustache out," she said. "At the moment it's very bristly. When I kissed my partner goodbye this morning, she complained that I'd stabbed her. Some dark hairs have started sprouting from my chin too, like a mini goatee."
O'Neill says her girlfriend, Tina, is "really proud" of what she is doing. But she hasn't decided yet whether to make her mustache a permanent feature. "At the minute, it's temporary," she said. "But who knows how I'll feel at the end of the month?"

Item Description
Letter, C [Charles Robinson] to My Dear S [Sara Robinson]
Author: Robinson, Charles
Date: October 1, 1857
Another personal letter from a tired and somewhat discouraged Charles Robinson in Lawrence to his wife Sara, who is apparently about ready to rejoin her husband in Lawrence, as he discusses meeting her in St. Louis. Robinson made reference to business affairs, including those in Quindaro, and curiously suggests that he was "about ready to go with Mr. Grover to South America" because he was "getting sick of this turmoil & strife."

At its 14th annual National Religious Leaders Summit held December 1012 in Atlanta, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People focused on moving the faith community back to a leadership role in matters of social justice. Faith leaders committed to working with the NAACP on HIV/AIDS and other issues. At the three-day meeting, faith and lay leaders created a post-election agenda for communities of faith, and Roslyn M. Brock, NAACP board of directors chairperson, led a dialogue session with mainline protestant denominations to discuss the NAACP's five strategic "Game Changer" areas.
In response to the dialogue, faith leaders made a national commitment to address HIV/AIDS in the black community after hearing NAACP's report, "The Black Church and HIV: The Social Justice Imperative." Church leaders agreed to work with the NAACP to expand HIV testing opportunities and to offer faith-based training and prevention education in churches, seminaries, historically black colleges and universities, and organizational national conventions.
The Summit presented a national training session on HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention that was attended by 100 pastors, faith leaders, and members of local NAACP units and state conferences, including representatives from cities with some of the highest rates of HIV prevalence. Brock commented that the commitment by the highest offices of these denominations to engage in this work, has solidified the Black Church's concern and commitment to reverse the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The churches represented at the NAACP meeting included AME Zion, Christian Methodist Episcopal, Black Methodist for Church Renewal, National Baptist Convention-USA, National Baptist Convention of America, Progressive National Baptist, and Primitive National Baptist.

Wheeling Intelligencer
Louis Bennett, Wheeling Air Fighter, Missing In Action
News Of The Tragic Mishap On The French Fighting Front Comes In A Cablegram To Johnson C.
M'Kinley, Brother-In-Law Of The Aviator - Hope Expressed That Young Bennett Was Not Dashed
To Death, And Is Prisoner In The Hands Of The Germans
August 29, 1918
Louis Bennett, Wheeling Air Fighter, Missing In Action
News Of The Tragic Mishap On The French Fighting Front Comes In A Cablegram To Johnson C. M'Kinley, Brother-In-Law Of The Aviator - Hope Expressed That Young Bennett Was Not Dashed To Death, And Is Prisoner In The Hands Of The Germans
Louis Bennett II., West Virginia's foremost war flyer, has fallen in action on the British-German fighting front in Picardy. He has been officially reported as "missing in action" since August 24, by the British air ministry, and the news reached relatives in Wheeling yesterday morning in the following cablegram from the British authorities:
"Lieutenant Louis Bennett, of the Fortieth Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, has been missing since going into action August 24th."
Whether young Bennett was killed while bravely fighting over the German lines, or disabled and compelled to land, resulted in his being taken prisoner, is not yet known.
The cablegram telling of the distressing occurrence came to Mr. Johnson C. McKinley, a brother-in- law of Lieutenant Bennett, whose wife was formerly Miss Bennett, and with whom the aviator made his home while residing here. Mr. McKinley left at once for Washington to make every possible effort to ascertain the fate of the missing aviator.
Lieutenant Bennett enlisted in the British aerial service only after his inability to have his services accepted by his own country.
The message yesterday came as a bolt from the clear sky, and the entire community was shocked to learn that the young West Virginian is reported missing and probably killed.
Lieutenant Louis Bennett, it will be remembered, came to this city several years ago from Weston and was the founder of the West Virginia aviation school, which was so successfully carried out last summer on the big aviation field at Beech Bottom. He was 24 years old and the son of the late Louis Bennett, Sr., of Weston. He was widely known all over the state and had a host of friends.
In the month of May, 1917, Mr. Bennett, with the aid of Mr. McKinley and a number of other West Virginians, established the Beech Bottom training school, the result of which was that twenty-two men were made aviators for the United States government.
Following the training given the boys at Beech Bottom, Mr. Bennett went to Princeton university, where he was given further training as an aviator in the Princeton flying school. He graduated with high honors and was a registered aviator, ready to do his bit for his country.
Following a number of attempts to enter the military service of this country and failing, owing to several minor reasons, he applied to the British flying corps in Canada, and was admitted as an aviator and after a brief training in Canada was sent overseas.
In a number of letter written home Lieutenant Bennett told of flying over the battle lines and how he had many narrow escapes from accident. In his letters written home he told of first going into action over the battle lines on July 23, and each day after that making trips over "No Man's Land" and into the land of the enemy. He also told in his letters of having many fights with the Germans, and how he had narrowly escaped death several times.
Louis Bennett became known all over the country as a result of the successful aviation school at Beech Bottom and made many personal friends of noted aviators, many of whom have made the supreme sacrifice in the great fight for freedom. He was a personal friend of Lieut. William Thaw, of Pittsburgh, who was killed recently and several others who have given their lives.
His name was mentioned by everyone in the state as the pioneer West Virginian to enter into the training of men for aviation for this country, and everyone knew him.
Lieut. Bennett was among the many aviators flying over the great armies in the big battles. It is thought that while engaged with a German plane, he was probably wounded and compelled to land, which means that he is either a prisoners [sic] or has given his life.
Louis Bennett, Sr., was also one of the most widely known citizens of the state. In 1908 he was the democratic candidate for the governorship, but was defeated. He was always active politically, and was prominently identified in the work of the Democratic party. He died a few weeks ago.
Mrs. J. C. McKinley is a sister of Lieut. Bennett. Mr. McKinley has gone to Washington to make an investigation through the United States war department and through the British ambassador to learn the whereabouts of the missing soldier if he is alive. A cablegram was immediately forwarded to the British authorities in an effort to learn more details.

By Dr. Mercola
All across the United States, people are fighting for their right not to be injected with vaccines against their will.
Currently, the Colorado Board of Health has been holding hearings on whether or not to adopt a new rule that would mandate healthcare workers get an annual flu vaccine -- with NO religious or personal exemption, while a federal vaccine advisory committee has recently voted to encourage hospitals and medical facilities to require health care workers get an annual flu shot as a condition of employment.
Other states are faring a bit better.
In New Jersey, Governor Christie recently pocket vetoed a bill that would mandate flu vaccines for the state's health care workers.
(When a bill is "pocket vetoed" it is not returned to the legislature for a possible vote to override the veto.)
And in West Virginia, where residents can currently only obtain a medical exemption for vaccination, a new bill has been introduced that could expand exemptions to religious and conscientious reasons.
Parents in Kansas are also fighting for more vaccine exemption rights, along with those in Florida and Mississippi.
This is good news.
But in the state of Vermont, there are bills in the House and Senate to strip the right to exercise a philosophical exemption to vaccination from state public health laws.
Parents are opposing the legislation that is being supported by state public health officials and medical trade associations.
In this video commentary, Barbara Loe Fisher examines the threat to philosophical exemptions to vaccination by interviewing the parents of seven-year old Kaylynne. Kaylynne was a healthy seven year old living in Vermont who died within 92 hours of a routine flu shot in December 2011.
Kaylynne's parents are pleading with the Vermont legislature to oppose proposed bills that would strip philosophical exemptions from state vaccine laws. But the Vermont Health Commissioner and the drug industry-backed American Association of Pediatrics are pressuring legislators to take away parental informed consent rights.
It is extremely important that Vermont residents who want to protect their right to obtain a philosophical exemption to vaccination for their children IMMEDIATELY contact their state representative and senator and ask them to vote "NO" to S. 199 and H. 527.
Legislators in other states may soon follow Vermont's lead and try to restrict your right to make voluntary vaccine choices.
In Arizona, public health officials and medical trade groups are pushing bills to require doctors to sign off on religious and philosophical exemptions to vaccination, which is similar to a law that passed in Washington state last year..
At present, all but two states (West Virginia and Mississippi) allow religious exemption to vaccination.
In the video above, Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), discusses this important exemption, and why it's so vital we defend our right to opt out of vaccinations for medical, religious, or conscientious belief reasons.
All Americans need to know their options for legally opting-out of vaccinations, and you also need to know why it's so important to protect this legal option, whether you choose to use every federally recommended vaccine for yourself and your children or not.
Forced Vaccinations for Health Care Workers—A Real Threat to Health and Liberty
The right to make an informed, voluntary vaccination choice for yourself (or your child) should be an inalienable human right because it involves taking a risk with a pharmaceutical product that could cause harm or even death. There is no guarantee that taking a vaccine (or any other drug) will not cause a complication and lead to serious injury. Yet we've seen time and again how government tries to take away our human right to say 'aye' or 'nay' to potentially hazardous medical interventions like vaccination.
In response to the proposed federal recommendations for flu shot mandates for health care workers[i], the NVIC sent a public comment to the National Vaccine Program Office, US Dept. of Health and Human Services[ii] stating in part:
"The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) has historic standing in representing the vaccine injured and vaccine consumers concerned about vaccine safety and the critical need to protect the legal right to informed consent to vaccination in America. NVIC co-founders worked with Congress to insert vaccine safety and informed consent provisions in the historic National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
... NVIC does not advocate for or against the use of vaccines but defends the human right to exercise informed consent to medical risk-taking, including the right for everyone to have access to full information about infectious diseases and vaccines and the freedom to make voluntary decisions about vaccination.
Vaccines are pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury or death, which can be greater for some than others.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a landmark report in 2011, Adverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality, and acknowledged increased susceptibility for individuals, who have unidentified genetic or other biological high risk factors for adverse responses to vaccination that can lead to permanent injury or death. In addition, out of the 27 adverse events reported to be associated with influenza vaccination, for which the IOM committee reviewed evidence in the medical literature to try to determine causation, the committee was unable to make a determination for 23 of the 27 adverse events because there was either an absence of studies or the studies were not methodologically sound enough to prove or disprove causation.
Therefore, a mandatory, one-size-fits all approach to vaccination punishes those at greater genetic and biological risk for suffering harm from vaccines.
Mandatory vaccination policies without exemptions also penalize those holding religious or conscientious belief objections to vaccination. It is unfair, irresponsible and unethical for employers to force health care workers to choose between their health, their deeply held spiritual or conscientious beliefs or their job. In the past two years, we have seen an increase in the number of harassment reports made by health professionals to NVIC. They are reporting they are being threatened and fired from their jobs for declining influenza vaccination even though:
(1) they have already suffered previous vaccine reactions that their employers refuse to recognize as serious enough to qualify for a medical exemption because those reactions to not adhere to strict CDC contraindication guidelines; or
(2) they have a personal or family history of severe allergies, vaccine reactions, autoimmune or neurological disorders that employers reject as qualifiers for a medical exemption because the CDC does not list those medical conditions as a reason to defer vaccination; or
(3) they have deeply held spiritual or conscientious beliefs that oppose vaccination but the employer refuses to grant an exemption because the health care worker does not belong to an organized religion or church with a tenet opposing vaccination, which is a violation of constitutional rights.
As a result, these health care professionals – some of them with decades of experience on the front lines caring for patients – find themselves on the street with no job or income during these hard economic times. This should not be allowed to happen in America."
OSHA Opposes Mandatory Flu Shots
The largest national nurses union opposes mandatory flu vaccination as a condition for employment, eNews Park Forest recently reported. The National Nurses Union (NNU) is also calling for members of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee who are also pharmaceutical representatives from Pfizer and Novartis to recuse themselves from voting on this issue. These companies will make millions of dollars from the flu vaccine sales that a mandate would create. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has also issued a statement opposing mandatory flu shots for health care workers without exemptions, stating[iii]:
"While we are supportive of the Healthy People 2020 goal of a 90 percent vaccination rate, we have seen no evidence that demonstrates that such a high rate is in fact necessary. Furthermore, the current influenza vaccine is no magic bullet.
The current state of influenza vaccine technology requires annual reformulation and revaccination and the efficacy is quite variable. Every year there are numerous circulating strains of influenza that are not included in the vaccine. In years where the antigenic match is good, the vaccine only provides protection against the 3 strains in the formulation. In years when the antigenic match is poor, the vaccine may provide no protection at all.
The limits of current influenza vaccine technology are especially problematic in the context of a mandatory influenza vaccination program that results in job loss. Lastly, reliance on a mandatory influenza vaccination policy may provide healthcare workers, health care facility management and patients with an unwarranted sense of security and result in poor adherence to other infection control practices that prevent all types of infections, not just influenza. Influenza vaccination has always been just one part of a comprehensive multi-layered infection control program."
Understand the Risks You Take Before You Take Them...
If you want a clear illustration of what could happen to you or someone you love, should the seasonal flu vaccine become mandated for all health care workers without exemptions, take a look at this video profile of a former professor of nursing, who was left completely disabled after a seasonal flu shot. This is a risk every single health care worker would have to take in order to keep their job, should this federal recommendation go through...
Is that really reasonable?
Is Your Doctor Breaking the Law?
The seasonal flu vaccine is not the only vaccine the U.S. government is trying to mandate. The HPV vaccine is another, and it has been associated with many reports of serious injuries and deaths, just like the flu vaccine. In September of last year, California passed bill AB499[iv], permitting minor children as young as 12 years old to be vaccinated with sexually transmitted disease vaccines like Gardasil without parental knowledge or parental consent.
This could be a disaster in the making... Informed consent is especially important when it comes to vaccination because no one can predict whether your child will be one of the children who has a devastating vaccine reaction, such as brain inflammation, paralysis, immune dysregulation, permanent brain damage, or even death. Furthermore, doctors have been notoriously lax when it comes to providing patients with full disclosure of potential side effects. And even if they did inform minor children of vaccine risks, are pre-adolescent children really cognitively and emotionally mature enough to understand them and fully weigh the risks and benefits appropriately? And what about the minor child, who is given one or more vaccines without the knowledge of a parent, and suffers a serious vaccine reaction but the parent, who has been kept in the dark, doesn't even know what is happening?
Lack of disclosure is now coming back to bite at least three Canadian doctors, who are being sued by the parents of a 14-year old girl, Annabelle, who died following her second Gardasil shot[v].
Linda Morin, Annabelle's mother, claims she was not informed by anyone of the side-effects linked to Gardasil, and that the doctors were negligent in their treatment of her daughter, as she suffered apparent side effects of the vaccine right after her initial dose. The symptoms: vomiting, confusion, incoherence and inability to speak or walk, was simply dismissed as a migraine attack. Two weeks after her second inoculation, Annabelle was found dead in the bathtub...
All Americans should know that if your doctor does not provide the CDC Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) sheet, or directly discuss the potential symptoms of side effects of the vaccination you or your child is about to receive BEFORE vaccination takes place, it is a violation of federal law.
You have a right to know!
In addition, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 requires doctors and other vaccine providers to:
- Keep a permanent record of all vaccines given and the manufacturer's name and lot number
- Write down serious health problems, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths that occur after vaccination in the patient's permanent medical record
- File an official report of all serious health problems, hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following vaccination to the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)
If a vaccine provider fails to inform, record or report, it is a violation of federal law.
Together We Can Change this Assault on Your Health Liberty
Non-medical exemptions to vaccination, including the religious and conscientious belief exemptions, are necessary because one-size-fits-all vaccine mandates, such as the one currently being proposed for health care workers violate the ethical principle of voluntary informed consent to medical risk-taking, which is a human right. Ultimately, our goal is to change the health paradigm so that everyone has the unobstructed freedom and legal right to make informed, voluntary choices about medical procedures, pharmaceutical product use and options for healing and staying well.
What You Can Do to Make a Difference
While it seems "old-fashioned," the only truly effective actions you can take to protect the right to informed consent to vaccination and expand vaccine exemptions, is to get personally involved with your state legislators and the leaders in your community.
Mass vaccination policies are made at the federal level but vaccine laws are made at the state level, and it is at the state level where your action to protect your vaccine choice rights can have the greatest impact.
Signing up to be a user of NVIC's free online Advocacy Portal at www.NVICAdvocacy.org gives you access to practical information to help you become an effective vaccine choice advocate in your own community. When national vaccine issues come up, you will have the latest information and call to action items you need at your fingertips to make sure your voice is heard.
With one click of a mouse on your computer or touch on your iPhone screen, you can be in touch with YOUR state legislator IMMEDIATELY when NVIC emails you an Action Alert about threats to vaccine exemptions and choices in your state. So please, as your first step, sign up for the NVIC Advocacy Portal.
Contact Your Elected Officials
NVIC will help educate you about how to write or email your elected state representatives and share your concerns. You might even want to call them, or better yet, make an appointment to visit them in person in their office. Don't let them forget you!
It is so important for you to reach out and make sure your concerns get on the radar screen of the leaders and opinion makers in your community, especially the politicians you elect and are directly involved in making vaccine laws in your state. These are your elected representatives, so you have a right and a responsibility to let them know what's really happening in your life and the lives of people you know when it comes to vaccine mandates. Be sure to share the "real life" experiences that you or people you know have had with vaccination.
Internet Resources Where You Can Learn More
I also encourage you to visit the following web pages on the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) website at www.NVIC.org:
- NVIC Memorial for Vaccine Victims: View descriptions and photos of children and adults, who have suffered vaccine reactions, injuries and deaths. If you or your child experiences an adverse vaccine event, please consider posting and sharing your story here.
- If You Vaccinate, Ask 8 Questions: Learn how to recognize vaccine reaction symptoms and prevent vaccine injuries.
- Vaccine Freedom Wall: View or post descriptions of harassment by doctors or government officials for making independent vaccine choices.
Connect with Your Doctor or Find a New One that Will Listen and Care
If your pediatrician or doctor refuses to provide medical care to you or your child unless you agree to get vaccines you don't want, I strongly encourage you to have the courage to find another doctor. Harassment, intimidation, and refusal of medical care for making independent vaccine choices is becoming the modus operandi of the medical establishment. Never stay in an abusive doctor/patient relationship.
If you are treated with disrespect or are harassed in any way by a doctor (or government official), do not engage in an unproductive argument. You may want to contact an attorney, your elected state representatives or local media if you or your child are threatened.
However, there is hope.
At least 15 percent of young doctors recently polled admit that they're starting to adopt a more individualized approach to vaccinations in direct response to the vaccine safety concerns of parents. It is good news that there is a growing number of smart young doctors, who prefer to work as partners with parents in making personalized vaccine decisions for children, including delaying vaccinations or giving children fewer vaccines on the same day or continuing to provide medical care for those families, who decline use of one or more vaccines.
So take the time to locate a doctor, who treats you with compassion and respect and is willing to work with you to do what is right for your child.

Taylor Swift's 'Mean' Gets the 'Glee' Treatment in New Video
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hear Taylor Swift's 'Mean' performed from a male prospective? Thanks to a gender-bending performance of the No. 1 country song on last night's (May 15) episode of 'Glee,' fans are now truly able to appreciate the tune from both sides of the spectrum.
McKinley High's resident heartthrob Puck (Mark Salling) tackled an acoustic arrangement of Swift's tune with a little help from Coach Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones) in the most recent episode, which also featured celebrity cameo appearances by actress Lindsay Lohan and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
'Mean' seems a likely candidate for recognizable cover tunes — and we're surprised 'Glee' didn't take it on earlier, considering the series recurring themes of self-acceptance and teenage angst in a high school setting. In the past, the show has tackled country covers in Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' and Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup,' among others.
How does the new version measure up to Swift's original recording? Watch below and voice your opinions!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Gov. Deval Patrick went to his rural home the day after the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect was captured and got "quite drunk" alone in a restaurant, he said during a candid conversation at a Boston area marketing firm.
Patrick also told employees at HubSpot in Cambridge on Wednesday that he was relieved that bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured on April 19, because otherwise people would have been complaining about the "shelter in place" order he gave that day, locking down Boston and several suburbs.
Patrick went to Berkshire County the day after Tsarnaev was captured, he said. He and his wife have a vacation home in the town of Richmond, about three hours west of Boston.
He said he went for a swim, then out to dinner alone to read a book. The restaurant's co-owner put him in a corner away from other diners.
"She starts bringing me things to drink as a celebration. And by the end of the meal, I was actually quite drunk, by myself," Patrick said, according to the Boston Herald.
Maggie Merelle, co-owner of the restaurant Rouge in West Stockbridge, said Patrick had a "glass of chardonnay or two" with dinner but she doesn't remember him being drunk.
"He wasn't tipsy. I never would have known," Merelle said.
She said hosting the governor made her feel "like an old Jewish mother feeding him. We just wanted to nourish him."
Patrick also said he had no money and couldn't pay his bill, so he asked if he could come back the next day to settle up. Merelle said the governor "definitely" squared his tab.
President Barack Obama called Patrick on April 19 and advised him that he couldn't keep the region in lockdown indefinitely, the governor said. He said he would have ended the "shelter in place" order once the door-to-door search in Watertown was completed had Tsarnaev not been captured.

I'm not good in the German language so if you don't mind I write in English.
I followed this thread: musikding.rocks/wbb/index.php/…Vibe-Vintage-Verdrahtung/
I read your comments about the forum-vibe's powersupply and the rectifier bridge. From what I could understand I don't need the rectifier since the wall wart suplly delivers 18VDC already, and therectifier bridge operates from above 40 VAC.
So I got that out, checked and rewired everything resembling the wiring diagram I found on that particular thread you were on.
Still, the bulb doesn't flash or glow. I wonder If the elco's C101-C103 have to dissapear as well? I suppose they're there to stabilize the power along with the two resitors in between them.
Another question I'm dealing with; The LOF section has a + and - connection on the PCB, do I have to connect these, or has the LFO section already power supplied from the power supply?
A few diagrams that were posted on the thread differ slightly, are they all working or is there only one that is correct?
I had the impression that you have a rather good understanding of this circuit.
I have a basic understanding about electronics, so I checked the whole circuit with the schematic in hand, so I would think components are soldered in the right place.
Thank you for reading this, if you have any clue please let me know.
Thank you,

A Partial History of the Anton Tuchscherer Family
Written by Agatha Tuchscherer (nee Janer) in 1988-2002
Translated by Maria Tuchscherer, daughter of Anton and Agatha
My name is Agatha Tuchscherer, maiden name Janer. I was born on June 25,1915 in Colelia, Romania. At age 20, I married Anton Tuchscherer, also born in Colelia. We had two children, our son, Josef, was born on March 16,1935 in Colelia, Romania and our daughter, Maria, was born on December 21,1943 in Netztahl, Poland.
The year that changed our lives forever was 1940. The German government had made an agreement with Romania to repatriate all German settlers who lived in various European countries. This pact was made against the will of our people, who were living contently in rustic but peaceful villages. Land developed by several generations of our people, through back-breaking labour, into productive small farms, was sold back to Romania. On the 20th of November 1940, we left our houses, our farm yards still stocked with animals and crops, under strict supervision of German military guards. We were promised full compensation for all we had left behind...a promise never fulfilled, but for a token financial payout 30 years later.
We arrived bewildered in Bavaria,Germany, on November 28,1940. Once free farmers in single family homes, we were herded into a Catholic convent. The crowded living conditions with 14 families, many with very young children in one room, were hell. The crying children, parents screaming at them and at each other, never seemed to stop day or night. We were told we would be accommodated in our new homes within weeks, but the ordeal continued until July 20,1942.
Our new homes were not as promised, instead, we had to prepare for another major move, this time to Poland. Another country just as strange to us as was Germany. No one was happy with this decision. We had been happy in Romania and felt we should protest but no one was allowed to decline. The only alternative was a concentration camp, therefore, our choice was clear. We were taken by train to Litzmannstadt, Poland, where we were once again housed in a "Lager" (camp) for 5 days.
On July 28, 1942 we arrived in Schadki (Netztahl in German). The Poles had to move out in order to accommodate us. Our home was a 2 room dwelling consisting of a bedroom and a kitchen. The furnishings, dishes and other basics were supplied. Because we had been farmers in Romania, we were committed to be farmers in our new land. The crops were ready to be harvested and within a week we had to begin to prepare the horses for harvesting. There was only one threshing machine for all of us and as one farmer's land was cleared, the machine was moved to the next field. However, more difficult than this, was the learning of a new language. We worked along side Polish speaking people and our hired help were also Polish. We were commanded to seed so many hectares of land and eventually we were given 23 hectares as our own.
The type of crops were also dictated in that we had to plant wheat, potatoes, beets and chicory. All of this had to be delivered as was ordered. Of the livestock, we were allowed one and a half chicken per person for our own use and from the rest of the poultry we had to deliver approximately 1500 eggs a year from each hen . If one failed to comply, a hefty fine was imposed. It was similar with livestock and all of it had to be given to the government for slaughter.
My husband Anton was not able to learn a lot about his new farm. On February 20,1943, he received a telegram to report to Braschnitz, Ostpreusen on February 28. He would be enlisted in the German army with my brother Jacob Janer, who never returned to us again. Anton was later sent to Norway so that throughout the war he was fortunate never to be near the Front. The wives remained at home and with the help of the hired hands, carried on the farming as before. I was young and was happy to have something to do.
By now I was fluent in Polish and had good people who worked for me. They were faithful and hard workers. The Deputat (hired man) had 2 children who also helped in the summertime. Of course the wages were also dictated to us and children got paid daily, the Deputat and maid were paid monthly. Our maid, Maria, worked side by side with me and helped me take care of the swine. My livestock consisted of 10 Milk cows, who had to be milked 3 times a day. With all of these responsibilities I needed help with the house work and Maria aided me with that. Nothing was easy to obtain if we were in need of something. We felt like "Zigeuner" (gypsies who beg) and were always bidden to present a requisition in person in order to state our needs. Not having any other form of transportation, I had to learn to ride a bicycle and rode many kilometers to do these errands.
With the war still in progress, we lived in constant fear and anxiety about our loved ones in the army. No one related any news to us and we were too afraid to ask because we knew the alternatives...concentration camp or death. In 1944 there were public meetings, which we were summoned to attend, and suggestions were made to rehoove the horses and to have enough food ready for the children in case we had to flee again. However, the bureaucrats optimistically told us not to worry.
Then, it came all too quickly! On the night of January 18,1945, a bitter cold night, found the Burgermeister (Mayor) at my window yelling " Frau Tuchscherer, go quickly, the Russians are here!" My shock at these words immobilized me for several minutes. My two children, Josef, now eight years old and Maria only 13 months were my first concern in preparing for our safety. So at dawn, on January 18,1945, we left our home once again in our horse-drawn wagon and our hired man. Our flight had a difficult beginning but it worsened as time passed. Thousands of people tried to squeeze onto the narrow, icy roads. One after the other they formed a caravan, a slowly moving caravan into the unknown. There were many accidents, wagons rolling into the ditch or horses falling on the ice, this made the already grim situation even worse. We had left our home on a Thursday but by Sunday my fate befell my worst fears. At four in the morning, on January 21, I had an accident with our wagon. The horse was unable to pull the heavy load on the icy road and must have slipped because we were suddenly capsized into the ditch. Josef was pinned under all the luggage which was extremely heavy since I had packed everything from clothing, meat, bread and cookies for our journey. All of this was frozen solid and was now crushing my son beneath.
Maria was 13 months that day. She was also pinned under the wooden slats and seriously injured on her left side. All of a sudden she stopped crying and I knew she must be dead. Behind us we saw German soldiers who had heard the racket and came to help us to free the children. We were safe again but here we were in the middle of the forest and a thick fog had begun to settle on that morning. We were also not allowed to use bright lights because the bombers were flying above ready to drop death where there seemed to be life. However, the soldiers helped us to leave the forest and we were on our way...to God knows where.
We were eventually encountered by Red Cross workers who helped us onto another wagon which took us to a place called Exin, where we arrived at daybreak. There I was to receive medication and bandages for the little one's wounds.
The wagon, which had the children, was to wait for us in Exin but somehow they continued on and by the time I checked for them, they had already left the area. Among the thousands of wagons I couldn't distinguish one from the other, especially the one which carried my children. I had never felt such anguish and fear. The nuns tried to console me that we would find the children, yet no one called to inquire whether anyone had lost children. I stayed with the nuns for a little while longer but suddenly tore myself away and began to run in the direction I thought my children had been last seen. I was crying and praying loudly, but no one asked what was wrong or paid any attention to me. They all had their own sorrow. The Russians were very near and people were running for their lives.
As I ran blindly, not knowing where, I often fell due to the ice but I felt nothing but hope and trust in God that I would find my children. Eventually an S.A. officer stopped to pick me up in his car and he took me to Alburkund, about 22 km. from Exin. I knew I would find my children there, I just knew it. Nothing in this world could be worse than losing one's children, living, breathing children. I wandered the whole day Sunday and then a miracle occurred. Late in the afternoon daylight was waning and a calm had settled over the town, when suddenly, a small wagon appeared with two "Hitlerjugend" (Hitler's youth) boys atop the wagon and beside them my two children! I yelled even louder as I recognized my son by his clothing and I cried tears of joy to see him. The baby was frozen stiff having wet herself and not being changed. Her little fingers would have broken off had I tried to move them.
We think that we can die from hunger if we haven't eaten for a few days, but I learned that that isn't true. I nourished my child of 13 months with three pieces of hard black bread and snow for ten days. I begged for those three pieces of bread which was very humiliating, I was used to giving, not taking, but I knew I had to save her. Children cry when they are hungry and cold. When she would cry I would put snow in her mouth to appease her. She would then go to sleep more or less contented. It took ten days to cross the German border on foot. I had to carry the baby and Josef walked by my side. I had saved only one blanket from all my treasured fine linens, clothing, dishes and important papers, all was lost. The blanket was wet and gradually frozen because I had no means with which to change the baby. I had wrapped my coat around the children when we were still on our wagon and of course that was gone too. I, like my children, had no warm clothing in the bitter cold. The cold was so severe, my fingers were frozen and it was unbearable to hold the child any longer. I decided we would all die together and threw the baby into the ditch. I said to Josef, "Come sit beside me and we will sit here until we die." He cried and said "But Mama, we can't let the baby freeze to death here." I came to my senses and dragged myself to the bottom of the ditch, picked her up and we continued wearily, starved and cold, on our way. We followed people on foot, never knowing where they were going but hoping to safety. Everyone rested at night and early in the morning we would start off again. Then one morning the alarm came that the Russians were very near. No one wanted to take me along on their wagon so I continued to walk. The fire from the grenades was flying over our heads but we continued on. All at once a teacher offered me a lift and wouldn't allow anyone to pass until I was settled in the wagon. I'm sure we wouldn't be here today if they hadn't taken us along. He and his wife were "Russland's Deutsche" who also left Russia in 1944 because of Hitler.
We finally crossed the border at Weiksel where we had to cross a bridge over the frozen river Weiksel. We were safely on the other side when we heard the cracking of the ice from the weight of the wagons and many people perished in the icy water. Then the worst happened. The Russians were on the other side and blasted the bridge with several bombs. Many people were still crossing and were now hanging in bits on the trees, in the water and on the ice. Small children, the unborn were all massacred.
Once we arrived in Germany I had to leave the kind people and their wagon and I was once again on foot. I met an older couple who took me in for the night. They gave me warm food and water so that I could clean myself and the children. After 12 days it felt so good to be clean again! The next day I took a train west. It didn't cost anything to ride the train and even if it did I had no money, not a Pfennig! I arrived in Berlin but knew no one. I couldn't contact my mother or my sister who were also to travel to Berlin. I had no change of clothing for any of us and also didn't know anyone to whom I could I could turn to for help. I had always been very shy and found it very difficult to ask for anything. I stayed in Berlin two days and three nights which was a mistake. The bombs fell like rain and every two minutes there was another blast. We were in a bunker with many other people but there was nowhere else to go. By the third day I felt I had to leave, I had had enough and decided to try to go to Lülsfeld where we had been placed from 1940 to 1942. However, upon arrival I made a bad decision. I should have gone to the Bürgermeister (mayor) for assistance, but I didn't know one could do that. Consequently I ended up at Friedrich's. Frau Friedrich was a very mean, malicious person. They were farmers so I had to work on the field, darn socks, spin wool and knit late into the night, seven days a week.
The Friedrichs lived in filth, worse than we had to endure on our flight. She beat and abused my children, cursed us, cheated us of food and mistreated me any way she could. It was a sad existence with no end in sight. I received no money for the work and after three years it finally ended. I had arrived in Lülsfeld in February 1945 and had written to my husband in Norway to tell him we had lost everything. He had written once and that was my only contact from him. If he did write more often the letters never reached me. Later I learned that he didn't receive my letters either and the year passed with the fear that we would never be united again.
The war finally ended in May 1945 and I had heard nothing from my mother, Senfarosa. My father had died in the first World War before I was two years old. My only brother died in Russia in 1943 so I had only my sister, Martha, left. I didn't know whether she was alive or where she might have been sent. Life went on and on November 1,1945 I had just come home from a Mass for the soldiers, who had died in the war, when a knock came at the door. My husband, Anton, stood there! The shock was overwhelming, but only part of my pain was relieved. I had still not heard of my mother or my sister.
On October 14, 1946 my husband was in Schweinfurt where he worked for the American Army as a prisoner of war. A Frau Euring, whom I had met several years before, was at a hospital visiting a patient. My husband happened to be visiting his mother, who was very ill, at the same hospital. Frau Euring recognized Anton and said that my mother and sister were both in Schweinfurt. They had been in a Lager (camp) for a month and had no idea were I was. We were only a few kilometers apart. I immediately went to Schweinfurt to see Frau Euring and she told me where I might find my sister and my mother. Martha had had three children when she left Poland. Like me, she had lost everything, including two children who died of starvation during the flight. The eldest, a daughter Hermina, survived. My mother was also ill and they were living in a barn for five days without food and water after the Polish army had driven them out of their home. They were eventually removed to the Lager where my sister had to work very hard under the strict eye of a polish army officer. They were somewhat fortunate in that they could milk one of the cows in the barn but they did not have one dish to use for meals, such as they were. My young nephews, ages 13 months and 5 weeks old, died 11 days apart. Another son would be taken from her in 1953 when he died as a baby. In retrospect we felt fortunate to be alive and together again, although we had lost a brother and she had to leave 2 children to be buried.
Germany was not the promised land we had hoped for after the war was lost. It wasn't our "Fatherland" and we felt very strange in our new country. Germany was almost completely destroyed from the bombings and there was plenty of work to be had. My husband had always been a very hard worker and he was able to find a job as construction worker in Würzburg, where we lived from 1946 to 1952. The ravages of the war and the devastated cities and towns were only too near to the fear we had experienced, thoughts of moving to a better land were always on his mind.
Fortunately, he had a sister, Julia Friedrich, in Canada and the authorities suggested that anyone who had relatives overseas should apply to that country. I didn't want to start all over again, another new country, to be apart from my family and to be a stranger in a country with a different language and customs. However, the memory of war was still very fresh and I agreed to go, to find peace. So on December 9,1952 we left by train to Rotterdam to sail on the Maasdam, a Dutch ship. After an eight day journey of stormy winter seas, we landed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We took a train from Halifax to Montreal where we overnighted and carried on the next day. One humourous incident we encountered in Quebec, was seeing a group of people carrying brooms and going into huge barn-like building. I was so impressed that this country had such a standard of cleanliness! I learned later that they were going curling!
We overnighted in Winnipeg, Manitoba and at last our journey was nearly at an end. We arrived in Bienfait, Saskatchewan at 2:00 A.M. on December 22, 1952, only to be met by a stranger whose name was also Friedrich. He had received our telegram instead of our brother-in-law, Mathias (Matt) Friedrich. Bienfait is a small town and soon we found our relatives.
We didn't speak English, had no money, no jobs until September 1953 where Anton found steady work in the coal mine in Roche Percee, south of Bienfait. The children attended school, learned English quickly and I kept our house on a small budget. One day as my husband was walking on the outskirts of town he came across an abandoned farm house which, with a lot of work, could possibly be made inhabitable. We bought it for $500.00 and had it moved by our brother-in-law Matt, to a lot in town. Anton, Josef and I had dug out the basement by hand and when we thought it was deep enough we used cindercrete blocks, which Matt had made, for the foundation. It required a lot of work to remove the old plaster, to insulate, to install new windows, doors and shingles but we were used to labour, it was ours. We lived in our home until 1995 and for 42 years we lived in peace and were thankful for our life in this new country.
Addendum: Due to declining health and to be nearer my brother Josef and me, my parents moved into a Seniors Highrise in Regina, Saskatchewan, in August, 1995. Sadly, Dad couldn't adjust to apartment living, he missed his home, his garden and feeding the birds. He spent the last 4 months of his life in a nursing home and died on his 84th birthday, June 15, 1996. Mom continued to live in the apartment until August 28, 2002. She was still knitting a pair of socks for the poor and all the ingredients were on the kitchen counter ready to make her own mustard. She went into hospital on August 28 and died of an aortic blot clot on August 31, 2002. Josef and I were with both of our parents when they died.

Raphael's Eszterházy Madonna in Rome
Rome [ENA] In 1508 the painter Raphael was invited to Rome by pope Julius II della Rovere. The commissions offered by the pope changed the life of the artist, but also the concept of Italian art. The art historian and architect Giorgio Vasari wrote that it was Bramante, the superintendent-general of the pope, who suggested him to recruit Raphael. Probably Francesco Maria della Rovere, son of Giovanna Feltria, also prompted
the pope to recruit the artist. At the age of twenty five, Raphael arrived in Rome leaving a few works, probably including the Eszterházy Madonna unfinished. The scene of the Eszterházy painting is very interesting and important from the point of view of art history. The set represents a broad natural landscape, where there's the Madonna with the Child in her arms. Both are turned toward the infant Saint John the Baptist, who is kneeling and absorbed in reading the scroll.
The painting expresses a delicate scene of affection in which the emotional harmony of the figures is entrusted to their gestures and their eyes. The Roman ruins in the background, which were not in the preparatory drawing, suggest that the work was conceived in Florence but completed immediately after Raphael's arrival in Rome in 1508. The painting was donated by pope Clement XI to Isabella of Portugal (1503-1539), Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, then it was passed to Prince Kaunitz and then, at his death, to the Eszterházy, a noble Hungarian family.
In 1871 Raphael's masterpiece entered the collection of the Szépmmüvészeti Múseum in Budapest. At the moment the painting is in Rome by National Gallery Barberini Corsini, loaned by Budapest Museum till the month of April 2018. The painting has been insured for five million euros for its travel to Rome. Raphael's Eszterházy Madonna was stolen on November 1983 and the work was found by the Italian Carabinieri special artistic pool in an abandoned convent near Aigio, Greece.
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino known as Raphael was painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking. After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael's more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models.

|DOPL members
The Descendants of Point Lookout POW Organization (DOPL) held a service at their Confederate Memorial Park. Curious, I drove down again on Saturday to attend.
|A lively round of "Dixie"
I enjoyed the people in period costume, the cannon salute, and the small camp set up outside the memorial.
I did not enjoy the guest speaker, who hailed from my own state. His railing and inaccuracies were upsetting; his is that rare voice that has made southern history so unpopular.
With polite applause, the other attendees (many of whom probably work at the nearby military base and realize the Civil War is over) seemed to be sincere history buffs who want to pay respects to their ancestors. I gave Thomas's name to one man, Steve, who promised to look him up.
|Pt. Lookout prison camp descendants
I was pleased to get an e-mail from him the next morning, with images of Thomas S. Maness' records.
Thomas deserted to the Union side, which didn't surprise me. He was kept a prisoner for nearly a year, despite his apparent willingness to take the oath of allegiance.
I was surprised to learn that he was only at Point Lookout a short time, about a month.
|Camp kitchen
Under severely overcrowded conditions at Point Lookout, Thomas was among a large group of prisoners transferred to another prison camp in July 1864 — Elmira, N.Y.
Next: Journey to Elmira

I like this book because it is exciting. My favorite part was when Eddie flew his plane into Mrs. Jeepers. I liked this part because it was funny and exciting.
I felt happy because the kids solved the mystery of Miss Kidwell and saved Bailey City.
While I was reading this book I wondered if Miss Kidwell was really a gremlin. I still don't know if she really was or not.
I recommend this book for 2-5th graders. A child who likes books that are funny, exciting and full of imagination will enjoy this book.

Your ferret's cage should be spacious and well ventilated; this means no aquariums! Housing your ferret in an aquarium puts her at a higher risk of developing heatstroke and respiratory disease. Ferrets do not get the proper air flow in an aquarium, so their cages must be constructed from a material, such as wire, that allows for proper ventilation. If the cage has a wire floor or wire shelves, cover them with fabric, carpet remnants, or another covering to protect your ferret's sensitive feet.
The cage should be placed somewhere that is not in direct sunlight and away from any drafts. It should be in an area where your ferret will get human interaction, but where it will still be relatively quiet. This means that your kids' playroom isn't the best place for the ferret cage! The cage should also not be placed near other pets' cages, such as dog crates or rabbit hutches. This will cause unnecessary stress for both animals.
There are a number of supplies your ferret needs in her cage, including food, water, litter, toys, and bedding. Ferrets often like to make a mess, so keeping the cage clean and healthy means cleaning up any spilled food, wiping up any spilled water, and removing any torn toys and bedding. If your ferret has an accident outside the litter box, clean it up promptly. Avoid using any wood chips or cedar shavings litter or bedding. These contain harmful phenols that are not healthy for your ferret's delicate respiratory system. Scented litters are also unsafe for ferrets, so avoid them as well.
Keeping your ferret's cage clean and healthy will require effort on your part, and it's best if you come up with a schedule for cleaning to make sure that you don't forget anything. Here is a typical cleaning schedule:
Depending on the number of ferrets you own, you may need to do some of these tasks more frequently. For example, if you have multiple ferrets, you may need to scoop the litter box twice a day and dump it completely a few times a week. Always tailor your cleaning schedule to your individual ferrets' needs.
It is much easier to clean the cage when your ferrets aren't in it, so consider purchasing a playpen to house them while you are cleaning. This is necessary if you use cleaning products that must be completely rinsed and dried before allowing your ferrets access to their cage.
You play a large part in keeping your ferret's home clean and healthy. Regular cleaning will ensure you and your ferret enjoy many happy years together.

A man should own a wardrobe suitable for every occasion of the day. During a vacation the beach is a big daily event, so try to leave the Hawaii surf trunks and tank tops inside the wardrobe. Preferably in the fireplace. With fire.
These lightweight articles keeps you cool and are easy to carry around. The hand sewn quality of the Zanone pique, shown numeral times on my blog, gives you a cleaner look than the normal tee as well as it's lighter and leaner. A printed, mid-length swim trunk, small panama hat and mediterranean sandals helps you create an unavoidably superior look.
The bag is quite essential when it comes to the whole look and is often a problem. Many of us has a week end bag of some sort, which is too big for the beach, and hopefully we are trying to avoid using a plastic bag from the supermarket. This easy tote is perfect for beach trips and also possible to use for other occasions after the summer is over. Problem solved.
Tip: If you are not quite ready to spend your money on a beach bag you can use a big shoe bag in a neutral color to keep your keys and other essentials. It's actually a quite handy tip.
