Dan Freeman began hand-making custom leather shoes in the 1970s, and opened his Middlebury shop about ten years later. To learn the trade, he tracked down an old leather-worker in New Orleans, and spent days on Grey Hound buses traveling to Louisiana. After some persistence from Freeman, the New Orleans man agreed to teach Freeman his trade. Freeman estimates that there are around ten people left in the country that make the his type of custom boots and shoes.

Cruz to amend ethics report to reflect asset
WASHINGTON - Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is amending his financial disclosure report to the Senate to reflect a $75,000 debt that is owed him by a college roommate who joined him in investing in a Caribbean-based holding company in 1998, spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Friday.
Cruz's staff described the Houston Republican's actions following a report by Time magazine's Swampland online blog that described the senator's dormant business investment.
Cruz invested $6,000 to co-found a Jamaica-based investment firm with his former college roommate at Princeton and Harvard law school, Jamaican Rhodes scholar David Panton.
Cruz and Panton were debate team partners as well as roommates.
The Cruz investment grew to be worth $100,000 - with $25,000 paid to Cruz earlier and $75,000 in a promissory note still owed him after he sold his interest, Frazier said. Cruz has not had any dealings with the firm or its successors for at least a decade, Frazier said.
He said the long-forgotten promissory note was inadvertently not reported on his financial disclosure report to the Senate during his 2012 campaign, but it was reflected on the latest submission.
Cruz has made arrangements to submit an amended disclosure report to reflect the financial interest, Frazier said.
Cruz told Time on Thursday that amendments to financial disclosure reports are common in the Senate.
"There is a routine back and forth with the staff with whom you file the report where they make inquiries," Cruz told the magazine.
Cruz told the magazine there had been "an inadvertent omission" of the promissory note from earlier financial disclosure filings that had been corrected after a conversation with Panton.
The Time report was "much ado about nothing," focusing on a 15-year-old business venture that Cruz "entirely divested more than a decade ago," Frazier said.
Cruz divested his investment in 2003 when his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, served in the Treasury Department during the first term of President George W. Bush.
"Upon divesting from the venture in early 2003, the senator received a partial payment and also a promissory note from his business partner and college roommate," Frazier said. "That promissory note - on which this entire (Time) article is based - is technically still owed (and thus was voluntarily disclosed), but it has never been paid and Sen. Cruz has never attempted to collect on it."
Cruz, a co-founder and a preferential shareholder of Caribbean Equity Partners, received the promissory note from a Kingston-based successor firm, Caribbean Equity Partners Investment Holdings when he sold his share, Time reported. The note examined by Time identified the successor holding company as CEP Investments Holdings Limited.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Katif Center, established to maintain the legacy of the Jewish communities of Gush Katif and northern Samaria, last week marked eight years since the forced displacement of some 10,000 Jews with a documentary project featuring 800 interviews with the former residents.
Speaking at the event, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat called on the nation's leadership to realize there "must never be a second disengagement." Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin added that the uprooting of Jews from Gaza is "the Yom Kippur of conservative Israeli politics."
Unveiled at the Begin Center in Jerusalem, the Katif Center's documentary project allows visitors to its website to choose individuals from the former Jewish communities in Gaza and through his or her testimonies experience what it was like to be expelled from the area.
Barkat noted that the Gush Katif settlements, much maligned on the international stage, had "been established by governments from across the political spectrum...[in order to] meet a very real need to settle the land and establish security in the south."
The decision to uproot Gush Katif under American and Western pressure "was a national trauma," Barkat continued. "Anyone who was there was scarred for life."

Mayor Don Wesely will participate in the "Lights On Lincoln!" luncheon Thursday, October 10 to recognize Lincoln's many after school programs. The Lincoln Public Schools Foundation is sponsoring the event from 11:30 to 1 p.m. at the Cornhusker Hotel, 333 South 13th. It is part of the national celebration of "Lights On Afterschool!"
In a proclamation to be signed at the luncheon, Mayor Wesely says quality after school programs "provide a safe, friendly learning environment for our children that boosts their academic achievement; encourage families to become more effective partners in their children's education and support working families by ensuring that their children are safe and productive after the regular school day ends; and build stronger communities by involving our students, parents, business leaders and adult volunteers in the lives of our young people."
The keynote speaker at the luncheon will be Wendy Puriefoy, President of the Public Education Network based in Washington, D.C., the nation's largest network of community-based school reform organizations. Puriefoy is a nationally recognized expert on school reform and society. Other speakers will include Bill Johnston, Publisher of the Lincoln Journal Star; Phil Schoo, Superintendent of the Lincoln Public Schools; and Harold Clarke, President of the Lincoln Public Schools Foundation.
After school services are one of the programs offered through Lincoln's 15 Community Learning Centers (CLCs), partnerships based in schools or other community locations where neighborhood teams plan, implement or expand projects that meet the community's needs. Lincoln was one of eight cities in the nation to receive a technical assistance grant from the National League of Cities to establish and maintain CLCs.
In a concurrent effort to emphasize the importance of youth in the community, 25 youth development workers from Lincoln and Lancaster County are participating in a three-day regional training program called MidWest BEST. Lincoln is one of eight Midwest cities selected to provide this training through YouthNet of Greater Kansas City and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City.

A skin graft is a patch of skin that is removed by surgery from one area of the body and transplanted, or attached, to another area.
Alternative Names
Skin transplant; Skin autografting; FTSG; STSG; Split thickness skin graft; Full thickness skin graft
This surgery is usually done while you are under
Healthy skin is taken from a place on your body called the donor site. Most people who are having a skin graft have a split-thickness skin graft. This takes the two top layers of skin from the donor site (the epidermis) and the layer under the epidermis (the dermis).
The donor site can be any area of the body. Most times, it is an area that is hidden by clothes, such as the buttock or inner thigh.
The graft is carefully spread on the bare area where it is being transplanted. It is held in place either by gentle pressure from a well-padded dressing that covers it, or by staples or a few small stitches. The donor-site area is covered with a sterile dressing for 3 to 5 days.
People with deeper tissue loss may need a full-thickness skin graft. This requires an entire thickness of skin from the donor site, not just the top two layers.
A full-thickness skin graft is a more complicated procedure. The flap of skin from the donor site includes the muscles and blood supply. It is transplanted to the area of the graft. Common donor sites for full-thickness skin grafts include the chest wall, back, or abdominal wall.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Skin grafts may be recommended for:
- Areas where there has been infection that caused a large amount of skin loss
- Cosmetic reasons or reconstructive surgeries where there has been skin damage or skin loss
- Skin cancer surgery
- Surgeries that need skin grafts to heal
- Venous ulcers,
pressure ulcers, or diabetic ulcers that do not heal
- Very large wounds
- When the surgeon is unable to close a wound properly
Full-thickness grafts are done when a lot of tissue is lost. This can happen with open fractures of the lower leg, or after severe infections.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
- Reactions to medicines
Problems with breathing
Risks for this surgery are:
- Chronic pain (rarely)
- Infection
- Loss of grafted skin (the graft not healing, or the graft healing slowly)
- Reduced or lost skin sensation, or increased sensitivity
- Scarring
- Skin discoloration
- Uneven skin surface
Before the Procedure
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
- What drugs you are taking, even drugs or herbs you bought without a prescription.
- If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol.
During the days before your surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin (Coumadin), and any other drugs that make it hard for your blood to clot.
- Ask your doctor which drugs you should still take on the day of your surgery.
- If you smoke, try to stop.
If you have diabetes, follow your diet and take your medicines as usual.
On the day of the surgery:
- Usually you will be asked not to drink or eat anything for 8 to 12 hours before the surgery.
- Take the drugs your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
Prepare your home. Plan to have the help you will need from your spouse, a friend, or a neighbor.
Make sure the bathroom and the rest of the house are set up safely so that you do not trip or fall. Make sure you can get in and out of your house easily.
After the Procedure
You should recover quickly after split-thickness skin grafting, except in cases of major burns. The skin graft must be protected from trauma, such as being hit, or heavy stretching for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
Depending on the location of the graft, you may need to wear a dressing for 1 to 2 weeks. Avoid exercise that might stretch or injure the graft for 3 to 4 weeks. Some people need physical therapy after their skin graft.
Full-thickness grafts need a longer recovery period. Most people with these grafts need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 weeks.
Outlook (Prognosis)
New blood vessels begin growing within 36 hours. Most skin grafts are successful, but some do not heal well. You may need a second graft.

Hello 2009
Why can't we maintain that sort of balance in every day life?
I'm so not ready to go back. The latter half of last year was totally overwhelming and all consuming, and I know that this coming year is going to be pretty similar whilst Ink & Spindle is still in its early days. But I know that I'm fortunate to be able to do something that I love every day.
Now for a bit of eye candy, these gorgeous hand bound books by Nicole of Freshly Blended, covered in my textiles:
Nicole sent me a little stack and I'll pop some in the shop soon :)
Hope you had a great break and are looking forward to what 2009 holds :)

it's always a struggle to get a little balance in life isn't it?
And you can always see the bigger picture more clearly when you've had a little break!
Let's hope we can all keep our resolutions this year! ;)
Good luck in 09! x

All the best with finding that balance in 2009. I found 2008 similarly overwhelming, and it's been such a relief to not wake up with a list of things to do running through my head in the holidays. But it's also so cool to do the things we love - we really are the lucky ones!

Happy New Year!
I agree with you 100% - I think in the crafty world we get so fired up with ideas and enthusiasm that it's hard to realise that if we don't take a break we are hurting ourselves doing everything all the time.
I think this year I'm going to start designating one evening a week to do nothing at all, not go out, not read, just nothing, perhaps listen to the radio and nap!
Hope you find a little more time for yourself this year too.

Love the notebooks! They are fabulous. I am fan of your work.

I discovered your wonderful blog late last year (that sounds so far in the past now!) and find it helps give me the drive to get back into my own work. I'm trying to find a job even slightly related to crafts and sometimes it gets a bit disheartening, seeing other people living the dream is great! Best wishes for 2009 and beyond.

It's so cathartic cleaning out all your old stuff isn't it? - when I left Australia I think I got rid of two trailer loads. I loved it! Know what you mean about not quite being ready for the new year - I feel like I need some sort of plan... hmm. Thanks for all your supportive comments over the past year - it really is motivating to have another voice to my projects and thoughts. Thanks again and have a great 2009! Looking forward to more Ink and spindle progress :)

Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
From Toyota press: In 1958 Land Cruisers were known by the model-name FJ28V. But model-year 1960 brought engineering and styling changes that heralded the birth of an icon. That's when the 20 Series took an evolutionary step into the 40-series. The familiar fold-down windshield, solid axles and sturdy leaf springs of the 25-series remained. But design revision provided the FJ40 with its now-familiar flat, white top, angular lines, wrap-around rear windows and fold-out rear doors, short overhangs, a horsepower boost to 125, a three-speed transmission and the introduction of a two-speed transfer case. The change worked, especially here in the U.S. From 1961 to 1965, the FJ40 was Toyota's best-selling vehicle.
Early experience in developing countries amply illustrated the FJ40's suitability as an exploration/expedition vehicle. Only one thing needed improvement: There wasn't enough space in which to haul the fuel and supplies needed for long trips – this notwithstanding the presence of the FJ45V, a long, four-door version of the basic FJ40, which was built alongside the FJ40. So in 1967, responding to calls for a Land Cruiser with more comfort, more capability and more cargo capacity, the FJ45V was replaced with the four-door Land Cruiser 55 Series.
The 55 Series was a development of the 40 Series, using hardware lifted from the 40 Series. But it rolled upon a wheelbase that was lengthened by 16 inches. To satisfy those looking for more comfort than available from the 40 Series' utilitarian interior, the 55 Series offered a padded dash, a fold-down rear seat and seating for six.
The payoff came in production and sales numbers that nobody – outside Toyota – could have predicted. By 1968, Toyota had built and sold 100,000 Land Cruisers. Demand for them was so great that assembly was done in a number of countries outside of Japan, including Brazil and Pakistan.
The early 1970s were years of development of existing Land Cruiser models. For instance, in 1975 all Land Cruisers received an enlarged 4.2L (256.3 c.i.) B-series engine and with it, a new four-speed transmission. This engine underscored the Land Cruiser's reputation for unstoppable torque, a critical element that helped provide the Land Cruiser with its ability to crawl over obstacles on challenging trails.
By now, Land Cruisers were an established part of rough-country life in the United States. For miners, ranchers and surveyors, the Land Cruiser was the vehicle of choice. In fact, in 1971 a Land Cruiser was driven across the United States while surveying an off-road route.
By 1972, more than 200,000 Land Cruisers had been sold worldwide – and 300,000 by 1973.
There was play, or at least sport, as well as work: In 1974 a nearly stock FJ40 won the grueling Baja 1000 off-road race. Its sole modification involved its conversion for the use of propane, instead of gasoline, as fuel.
As the Land Cruiser's reputation grew, so too did the demand for it. As a result, by 1977 a half-million Land Cruisers had hit roads and trails everywhere. But time was closing in on the 40 Series, and also on the 55 Series. For all the refinement it had received over its life span, the 40 Series remained fairly Spartan. So 1983 was its final year of sales in the U.S. Production of the 55 Series ceased in 1979. Sales numbers, meanwhile, continued to reflect the popularity and success of the Land Cruiser name. By 1980, 1,000,000 had been sold.

Using woven fibers as opposed to chop, which dissipate heat faster and have a longer wear life, the big brake kit is manufactured in Europe and said to be released by mid 2014.
The premium Sicom kit includes rotors, pads, calipers, and all necessary bolt-on hardware. Weight savings in this case is said to be 55 percent over steel. An optional brake duct cooling system will be available as well.
MSRP is TBA but we were told that fronts would be around $9000 with a total package around $16000. Renntech is a North American distributor for Sicom. Sicom began in 1998 but mainly focused on Euro OEM. The past two years it has launched into the aftermarket.

CONWAY, S.C. -- Boston College took the 6-1 win over the Golden Eagles to round out Tech's three-game bout in Coastal Carolina's Caravelle Resort Tournament.
The Eagles snagged an early lead in the bottom of the second inning as Tech's Nick Price (pictured) faced seven batters in that half of the inning. Four singles by Andrew Lawrence, Matt McGovern, Matt Hamlet and Matt Watson and a fielding error on Tech yielded the two runs to set a score of 2-0, which held through the seventh inning.
Austin Wulf's RBI single in the top of the seventh yielded Tech's only run of the game, as it brought pinch-runner Zach Flynn across the plate, making the score 2-1. Boston College answered, however, in the bottom of the inning after two more fielding errors put two men on base for Mike Sudol to work with. His RBI single sent Brad Zapenas home to give BC the 3-1 lead.
They continued the scoring in the eighth inning when McGovern walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Hamlet walked, and a sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third. Zapenas' double scored both, and came across the plate himself on a single by Anthony Melchionda to clinch the 6-1 win.
John Leonard got the win for the Eagles, striking out five in five innings of work, while Price was tagged with the loss for Tech. Price struck out three on the day.

Crowd enjoys festival
Several hundred people visited the Historical Society's second annual "Hanging of the Greens" program Sunday afternoon (Dec. 17) at River Lea in Beaver Island State Park. Those attending the program enjoyed the works of Mozart and Vivaldi as performed by the Grand Island High School string ensemble. The audience was moved by the vibrant performance of Charlene Aird who appeared as solo performer under the direction of Nicholas DeAngelo. The High School's senior choir, under the direction of Mary Hitrick, led the assembled group in the singing of traditional carols. Cyrena Dixon accompanied them on the reed organ which once stood in the Island's Congressional Church and which since has been given to the Historical Society by the DeGlopper family.

Daly co-sponsored drinking age bill
State Sen. John B. Daly co-sponsored legislation which raised the state's legal drinking age for drinking from 18 to 19. "I supported this measure," said the senator, "primarily because I believe it can reduce the carnage we see on our highways year after year." According to state statistics, drink driving is the leading killer of young people in New York state and accounts for more than 44 percent of deaths among 18-year-olds, he said. The senator added that more than half of the automobile crashes involving 18-year-olds are alcohol related. "Although I realize that 18-year-olds are considered in every other way to be adults and may take exception to the bill, I do believe that it is in their best interest and in the best interest of the people of New York state," Daly concluded.

Thruway Authority announces plans for I-90 reconstruction
The Thruway Authority has announced it received three bids for a four-mile Niagara Thruway (I-90) reconstruction project that will require the division of some traffic onto Niagara Street. Oakgrove Construction Inc., with a bid of $29.1 million, is the apparent low bidder for the project, scheduled to begin April 1993. "It will be one of the largest construction contracts awarded since the Thruway was built 38 years ago," said Executive Director John H. Shafer. "More importantly, about 300 construction jobs will be created."

Mesmer Airstrip saga continues
During the opening portion of Monday night's Grand Island Town Board meeting, board members listened to attendees as they once again voiced their concerns regarding the ongoing Mesmer Airstrip saga. At an Aug. 19 meeting, board members approved a site plan for the airstrip, upsetting many residents. This past Monday, many of those same residents were out in force attempting to put a stop to the next phase of this project-the construction of a 44-by-49-foot hangar. "The Zoning Board of Appeals has denied two previous requests for a large hangar," argued Kristine Lavango. "The most recent the same size as this request."

English language varieties
In the United States, United Kingdom and most of their former territories, English is the main language. However, there are some significant differences in spelling and word usage among the British influenced varieties (also called Commonwealth English) and US English. This article discusses some of these differences that may be useful for travellers to know.
Usage by countries
Commonwealth English is the most important language variety in Australia, Anguilla, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, the Cook Islands, Dominica, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guernsey, Ireland, Jamaica, Isle of Man, Jersey, Malta, Montserrat, Nauru, New Zealand, the Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Singapore, Turks and Caicos Islands and the United Kingdom.
US English dominates in the United States of America, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Liberia, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau and the Philippines.
Canada uses a mixture of British English rules for spelling and US English for vocabulary and many idioms. An exception to this rule is for terms related to motor vehicles, in which US English terminology and spelling are exclusively used ("tire" instead of "tyre", "gas" or "gasoline" instead of "petrol", etc.).
In all countries where English is used there are variations in vocabulary and usage that are peculiar to that country.
Words spelled the US way tend to be shorter (silent letters are often dropped) and spelt more phonetically.
Editors might want to consider substituting a word that is spelt the same in both varieties; eg rather than using airplane or aeroplane, substitute aircraft.
US - Commonwealth
Words used
In common speech, some 4,000 words are used differently in the UK from the US. World Wide Words[1] is a mine of information if you wish to know more.

The Collapse of Easter Island
I also have been following the recent campaign by the government of Chile to get Easter Island to be declared one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. How wonderful are the Moai (giant statues) that are all over the island? A recent show I was watching on the History Channel referenced Easter Island as proof of alien interventions in the past of humanity. However, I give the alien hypothesis no credibility. Humans built the monuments on Easter Island and they also destroyed the environment as well. The paradise of Easter Island was ruined by good old human nature.
However, my recent exposures to Easter Island have made me curious about the collapse of Easter Island. As such, I have sought out a few good Web resources on the topic. Here are some I found useful:
History of Easter Island - "At the time of Roggeveens discovery the island probably contained from 2000 to 3000 inhabitants of Polynesian race but it appears that there were as many as 10,000 to15,000 of them in the 16th and 17th Centuries. The civilization of Easter Island had degenerated drastically during the 100 years before the arrival of the Dutch, owing to the overpopulation, deforestation and exploitation of the extremely isolated island with its limited natural resources."
Easter Island's End - "I suspect, though, that the disaster happened not with a bang but with a whimper. After all, there are those hundreds of abandoned statues to consider. The forest the islanders depended on for rollers and rope didn't simply disappear one day-it vanished slowly, over decades. Perhaps war interrupted the moving teams; perhaps by the time the carvers had finished their work, the last rope snapped. In the meantime, any islander who tried to warn about the dangers of progressive deforestation would have been overridden by vested interests of carvers, bureaucrats, and chiefs, whose jobs depended on continued deforestation."
The Chilling Tale of Easter Island - "When the last palm was cut down there was no longer the wood to make the heavy canoes needed for long sea voyages or to hunt the porpoises that were an important part of the Islanders diet. With the porpoises gone the people had to turn even more to the seabirds, and then the rats, as a source of food. When they were gone, starvation resulted, the government collapsed and cannibalism appeared. Human bones started to find their way into trash pits."
The Lessons of Easter Island - "What amazed and intrigued the first European visitors was the evidence, amongst all the squalor and barbarism, of a once flourishing and advanced society. Scattered across the island were over 600 massive stone statues, on average over twenty feet high. When anthropologists began to consider the history and culture of Easter Island early in the twentieth century they agreed on one thing. The primitive people living in such poverty-stricken and backward conditions when the Europeans first visited the island could not have been responsible for such a socially advanced and technologically complex task as carving, transporting and erecting the statues."
There are problems with comparing Easter Island and the Earth. The analogy is not quite an exact one. However, there is some truth to it which is why Jared Diamond's coverage of Easter Island is so fascinating and powerful. Is the Easter Island tragedy now happening on a global scale? Regardless, the whole history of Easter Island is well worth researching and reading about.

Here is an interesting article from the American Scientist by an archaeologist the rebukes Diamond's finding on Easter Island. I haven't read Collapse so I am not sure how it lines up against it. But I think it is worth checking out.

Okay, so this isn't really scholarly, but here's a comic to go with your post:

I do not see the link to the current world. We are not about to run out of resources in any way conceivable. Even the fear of recking the environment will be overcome with great ease in years to come (still will be expensive though).

Teleport atoms and scent molecules may be possible in future
- Details
- Written by Super User
- Hits: 7394
He [Yusuf] said: "No blame at all will fall on you. Today you have forgiveness from Allah. He is the Most Merciful of the merciful. Go with this shirt of mine and cast it on my father's face, and he will see again. Then come to me with all your families." And when the caravan went on its way, their father said: "I can smell Yusuf's scent! You probably think I have become senile." (Qur'an, 12:92-94)
Today, scientists state that teleporting atoms and scent molecules may be possible in the near future. In Surah Yusuf 94, Prophet Yusuf's (as) father says that he can smell his son's scent. Scientists also say that it will soon be possible to send scents in the same way as pictures and three-dimensional images are sent. Therefore, this verse might be a sign of an advanced technology developing from the current research into transmitting scent.
Like our other sense perceptions, smell forms in the brain. For example, a lemon peel's molecules stimulate the nose's scent receptors, which then transmit them in the form of electrical signals to the brain for analysis. Therefore, when the scent's signal is artificially formed in another form, the scent can be perceived in the same form. Indeed, the "electronic nose" is one of the research areas showing that this may well be possible in the near future.
A human being's scent perception system makes it possible for a trained nose to name and distinguish some 10,000 odours. Professionals in the perfumery business who have received special chemical training are able to sniff a scent that contains 100 different odorants and then list the ingredients. (See footnote188 ). This superior creation in the human nose has encouraged many scientists to design similar equipment. Efforts are underway in various research and development centres to replicate this human scent perception system. The models developed on this basis are termed "the electronic nose."
The human nose's receptors are composed of proteins; those in its electronic counterpart are composed of a series of chemical receptors. Each receptor is designed to detect different odours; the more their distinguishing capacities are enhanced, the more difficult production becomes and the greater the cost. The signals collected by the sensors are turned into binary codes, by means of electronic systems, and then sent to a computer. The electronic systems can be thought of as imitating the nerve cells responsible for scent detection, and the computer as the brain. The computer is programmed to analyse the data and thus interprets the binary code signals.
Electronic noses are currently being used in the food, perfumery, and chemical industries, as well as in medicine. Universities and international organizations are also providing major support for such projects. Nevertheless, as stated by Julian W. Gardner of the University of Warwick, researchers are still in the early stages of this technology. (See footnote 189)

Remembering Queen Front Man Freddie Mercury On The 21st Anniversary Of His Death
Today marks the day that 21 years ago the front man of the British rock group Queen, the irrepressibly colorful Freddie Mercury, succumbed to complications of AIDS. The band had carried on after the death of their singer, but it was never the same; the band had matched the intensity and sonic wallop to the eardrums its singer vocally postulated, and was one of those lighting in a bottle, one of a kind situations, ala a Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Who, and The Beatles (many of those bands acting as an influence to Queen). Mercury's death created a void in rock/pop music for all time and also set a standard for singing excellence for all time as well.
Mercury was gifted with a vocal range that reached untold galaxies; he had perfected the term bombast, as Queen's self-indulgent musical posturing never sunk them, largely in part to A) the ferocity and flowery he/she kind of style manifested by Mercury, with his boldness on stage, and his flamboyance somewhere in the middle of Marc Bolan and Elton John and B) the fact that they were mainly the only band engaging in a kind of theater rock/cabaret progressive (in the early days of the band's career) style, which ultimately became their instant trademark.
Mercury, however, was the golden ticket for the band, as great as the taut sonic musings of Brian May's guitar, John Deacon's nimble and soulfully assured bass, and the rat-at-at back beats from Roger Taylor was, it was the operatic, soaring, attitudinal, guttural vocal attack of Mercury which hit most memorably; he could be at moment's notice tender and reaching, aching and pained, upbeat and confident, the voluminous discography of the bands 20-year career (1971-1991) has elements of each of those aforementioned adjectives in them: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "You're My Best Friend," "Spread Your Wings," "Dragon Attack," "Under Pressure," "Who Wants To Live Forever," "Don't Stop Me Now," "Another One Bites The Dust," "Bicycle Race," "One Vision," "I'm Going Slightly Mad," the list goes on and on, a lot of these songs play out like American classics, which in a way they rightfully are, even though the band members are England natives. It's more like world classics actually, as the band was revered and loved from continent to continent, again largely because of Freddie Mercury, who was a larger than life figure to most of the fans.
Although in later years as he got sick and began to look frail and emaciated in his physical being, his musical force still burned in the flue as brightly and strongly as ever. The last album he did with the band, Innuendo, released in 1991, contains some of the most personal and incredibly adventurous music of the bands entire career. The album was barely released in the record stores when Mercury succumbed to his illnesses at the young age of 45.
When Freddie passed 21 years ago, it ended an era that was Queen. His style is timeless, however, and Queen songs live on as vivid and alive as if the man himself was still here with us, that alone shows the essence and power and influence of Freddie Mercury, who is still dearly missed by music fans everywhere. "Don't Stop Me Now" he intones on a great track from Queen's Jazz album. There was no stopping the enigmatic force that was Freddie Mercury, then, now, and in all of time. He was a shooting star, like Lady Godiva, don't stop him now, indeed.
A 20-song collection of some of Queen's greatest tunes, titled Greatest Hits – We Will Rock You Edition, is on sale in MP3 format for only $3.99 right now, and contains stand-outs like "Killer Queen," "Fat Bottomed Girls," "Another One Bites The Dust," "Bicycle Race," "We Will Rock You Good," and "We Are The Champions," and of course, their most memorable song "Bohemian Rhapsody."

To determine how badly faded a hull is, owners should rub the surface with a clean rag. If the chalky surface rubs off onto the rag, the gelcoat is heavily oxidized and needs some work. However, with hundreds of different products on the market, all touting to be the best cure for dull, faded gelcoat, finding the best products for the job can be overwhelming.
One-part cleaner/wax products are a good place to start. These compounds are usually some form of wax combined with a very mild cleaner, a very mild abrasive compound and sometimes a lubricant. Applied with a buffer, they do a good job on mildly dulled or chalked areas.
Also included in the single-part products category is restorer/wax. These typically have a more aggressive rubbing compound than the cleaner/waxes. Some products claim to have an abrasive that continues to break down when being applied, producing a finer finish.
There is another class of products touted to be the best solution for faded and chalky gelcoat. These products are usually in the form of an acrylic or similar coating, much like floor wax. These liquids are very thin and easily applied. They quickly dry, leaving behind a waterproof coating that fills in the gelcoat surface to form a shiny layer. Since the coating is very thin, multiple coats are usually required.
The downside to these products is that the coating will wear away or turn yellow. Depending on the conditions, the finish has one to three years of life. In most cases, a yearly reapplication of several coats is suggested. After that, a total reapplication is needed. The selling point is the ease of application and the instant shine achieved.
Other products used to remove oxidation are polishes and waxes. Polishes are best applied with a buffer and a clean pad. Users should apply the polish and buff out until the gel coat color is uniform and glossy. They shouldn't buff at a high speed since there's a risk of overheating the surface. Once the color is uniform, a good quality paste wax for maximum protection and shine can be applied. Most paste waxes will last three to six months and should be re-waxed appropriately.
Before repainting the boat, compounding is usually the last process employed. Rubbing compounds come in variations from mild to heavy-duty. They are usually applied to the surface and then buffed with a power buffer. Pads should be changed often as they tend to get clogged with the rubbing compound and gelcoat.
The best results are a uniform color and smooth satin finish. The more aggressive rubbing compound alone won't produce a shine. The surface also has to be polished. After polishing, an application of a good paste wax should result in an almost showroom finish.
A great product to help throughout the cleaning process is Shurhold's Buff Magic, a fiberglass reconditioner and deoxidizer. It's formulated to be user-friendly, whether buffing by machine or hand. The company's microfiber towels are super-soft and extra-strong and are ideal for polishing and shining gelcoat surfaces.
For areas that need a little more help, Shurhold's Dual-Action Polisher's 6-inch oscillating head allows anyone to get the same great finish, without burns or swirls. General detail maintenance like waxing and buffing can now be done in half the time, with half the effort and half the amount of product. The Buff Magic Compounding Pad is six and a half-inch in diameter and made of 100 percent twisted wool. This pad was designed to work with Buff Magic and is perfect for removing oxidation.
Shurhold's Dual Action Polisher costs $149.98, while the Compounding Pad is $23.98. A three-pack of Microfiber Towels is priced at $18.98 and a 22-ounce can of Buff Magic is $28.98. Dedicated to educating boat owners, Shurhold provides key tips for boat value preservation at www.shurhold.com. For more information call 800-962-6241.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 31, 2013) – Returning to the familiarity of the Dome, the ETSU men's basketball team will play back-to-back Atlantic Sun Conference games this weekend, beginning with a visit from Northern Kentucky Thursday evening.
Tip between the Buccaneers and the Norse is set for 7 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Bucs (6-16, 4-5 A-Sun) need a victory to get back in the race for the A-Sun regular season title. Currently, ETSU sits two games back of five teams that are tied for the league lead at 6-3.
For more on Thursday's game, read the game notes below or click on the game notebook link above. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team entered this new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season ... The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones missed the first seven games of the year for academic reasons ... Jones returned against Ole Miss on Dec. 14 ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU has looked to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. ... Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) have increased their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) are blossoming into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton has been getting help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville).
Last time out
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (Jan. 28, 2013) – In a reverse of the ETSU men's basketball team's normal trend this season, the Buccaneers played a strong first half only to see things unravel after the intermission Monday evening against USC Upstate. ... Despite leading 34-33 at the break, ETSU looked on as the Spartans put together a 13-2 run to open the second half and ultimately scored 55 points after the break to pull away with an 88-71 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play at the Hodge Center. ... For the game, the Spartans shot 53 percent – which included a 62 percent clip in the second half. USC Upstate's junior forward Torrey Craig led the Spartans' offensive attack with a game-high 23 points, while three other Spartans' reached double figures. ... Meanwhile, the Bucs committed 17 turnovers in the game and was outscored 30-18 in the paint. ... After struggling in the first half during recent games, the Bucs actually got off to a much better start against the Spartans. ETSU led by as many as six in the first half and ultimately held a 34-33 edge at the break. ... Unfortunately for the Bucs, the second half was a different story. Upstate came out with a better offensive attack and quickly used a 13-2 run powered by seven points from junior forward Jodd Maxey to build a 10-point lead at 46-36. The lead swelled to 12 before ETSU's comeback tendencies returned. ... The Bucs answered with a 9-2 run to make it 61-56, but that would be as close as ETSU could get the rest of the way.
The series versus Northern Kentucky
This is just the second meeting ever between the Bucs and the Norse ... ETSU won the first game at NKU 49-44 back on
Last time out versus USC Upstate
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (Jan. 7, 2013) – The streak is over. ... Getting a 12-point, five-rebound effort from junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville), the ETSU men's basketball team snapped its nine-game losing streak by holding off a late rally from Northern Kentucky to win 49-44 Monday evening in Atlantic Sun Conference play at the Bank of Kentucky Center. ... ETSU (3-12 overall, 1-1 A-Sun) played one of its best statistic games of the year, shooting 46 percent from the floor and out-rebounding the Norse 30-23. The Buccaneers also outscored NKU 20-8 in the paint and 14-3 off turnovers, and held the Norse to a 35 percent shooting clip. ... Harris was joined in double figures by senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) with 12 points, while freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) pitched in 11. Jones also picked up a game-high four steals in 33 minutes of action. ... The Bucs played their best first half of the season, shooting 55 percent from the floor and out-rebounding NKU 14-10 to build a lead of 26-20 at the break. In the first half, the Bucs pounded the ball inside and outscored the Norse 16-2 in the paint, while also besting Northern Kentucky 10-2 in points off turnovers. ... After the break, ETSU basically maintained a lead of between six and nine points most of the way, but NKU put together an 8-4 run in the final six minutes to get to within three points at 47-44 with 34.4 seconds left in the game. ... The Norse took a shot with 13.9 seconds remaining at got the offensive rebound, but after a timeout, their inbound pass missed the mark and was intercepted by ETSU senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis). Jones hit both free throws to make it 49-44 with 11.6 left and iced the game from there. ... Amazingly, the Bucs won despite not scoring a field goal over the final 10 minutes of the contest. All of ETSU's seven points during that time came from the foul line.
Jones meeting expectations for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow expected the return of senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) would improve his team's efforts on the offensive end of the floor … He was right. … After posting a career-high 21 points against No. 4 Arizona, followed by a team-high 14 against Hawaii and another team-best 17 against San Francisco, Jones is now averaging 14.8 points per game since returning from academic probation against Ole Miss back on Dec. 14. ... Jones is currently second on the team in scoring.
Rembert heating up from outside
Sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time this season, and against Jacksonville he gave ETSU's coaches even more reason to utilize him ... Hitting on 5-of-7 attempts from 3-point range against the Dolphins and then going 2-of-4 from outside against UNF, Rembert is now hitting on 41 percent of his 3-point attempts for the season and has connected 35 times from outside this year ... He now ranks second in the A-Sun behind UNF's Parker Smith for 3-point field goal percentage.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has used 14 different starting lineups in the team's 20 games this season ... Injuries and dismissals have left the ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination, as the team currently stands at 5-16.
McClain a "key" to success for ETSU's offense
When freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) missed several games early in the year with ankle injuries, ETSU's coaching staff kept pointing out how much better the Bucs' offense would be when he returned ... They were right ... As an example, McClain dished out eight assists and did not commit a turnover in the win over North Florida (1/26), and helped the Bucs to a season high 56 points in the second half against the Ospreys ... In that game, McClain also pitched in seven points.
Young Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has 10 players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, and of that group there are only six total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Freshmen trio shine in win over FGCU
When Florida Gulf Coast built a 19-point lead over the Bucs back on Jan. 12, few would have thought a youthful ETSU team could pull off the victory ... However, a freshman trio that included redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville), and true freshmen Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) and Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) had a different plan ... Helping power an ETSU comeback, the young Bucs ultimately came back and won 85-75 ... Wilson finished the game with a game-high 21 points, while McClain pitched in 10 points and eight assists at the point position, and Stramaglia came off the bench to score 14 points and grab five rebounds ... The question for ETSU fans is whether these youngters can continue to grow and become more consistent.
Gadsden-Gilliard shows signs of production
Early in the season, ETSU coaches spoke openly about the potential junior transfer Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) to produce quality numbers ... Thirteen games into the season KGG had struggled to meet those predictions, but that changed against Lipscomb (1/5) ... Setting or matching personal bests for points (13), rebounds (7), assists (3) and free throws (3) in 30 minutes of action, KGG played arguably his best game of the season so far. ... KGG has followed that game up with better performances, including a pair of double-double efforts in recent games, posting career highs for points (16) and rebounds (11) against USC Upstate (1/28), as well as another double-double effort against Jacksonville (1/24).
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances have forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle in the early going this season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) has still given the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaging 15.3 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball Thursday by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted six 20-plus point games so far this season.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 786 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.

Every day, seven people die in home fires, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms. Sadly, children and the elderly disproportionately lose their lives. The American Red Cross wants to improve the odds and save lives, that's why we launched our Home Fire Campaign in 2014.
A critical part of the campaign is Sound the Alarm, a series of home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events across the country. Red Cross volunteers, along with fire departments and other partners canvass at-risk neighborhoods, installing free smoke alarms, replacing batteries in existing alarms, and providing fire prevention and safety education. In just three years, we've accomplished so much, including the installation of more than 1 million smoke alarms and prepared more than 1 million people against home fires through our home visits.
Volunteer Opportunities Listed Below
Start a Fundraiser - See Opportunites Below
1. The Red Cross and its partners will install a limited number of free smoke alarms for those who cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or for those who are physically unable to install a smoke alarm.
2. The Red Cross installs a limited number of specialized bedside alarms for individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
3. A number of organizations are partnering with the Red Cross to accomplish the goals of our Home Fire Campaign. Depending on where you live and other factors, it is possible that we will forward your request to one of our partner organizations so they can contact you to set up an appointment.
4. The Colorado region provides installation services in their region only. If you live outside of this area and would like to identify your local region office, please visit RedCross.org (or call 1-800-REDCROSS).
5. If you are able to purchase and install your own smoke alarm, but would like information on home fire safety and smoke alarm installation, please visit redcross.org/homefire.

I am trying to run ubuntu off of USB. Here is what I did:
- Checked USB formatting. confirmed that it is FAT32
- From instructions on this page I downloaded (Universal USB installer).
- From this page I downloaded ubuntu 32 bit onto my windows PC.
- I ran the universal USB installer as per the instructions here and successfully (seemingly) downloaded everything onto the USB
- Restarted computer; hit esc. for start up options; F9 for list of options but then Flash Drive is not an option.
I don't know what I did wrong but last week I took a class using this same computer where flash drives were provided with Ubuntu and I was able to boot right up, no problem. I think I missed a step putting together this USB.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Michigan DE Graham wins Senior Bowl MVP
Posted by Evan Silva on January 30, 2010 7:41 PM ET
Michigan DE Brandon Graham, a likely mid to late first-round pick in April's draft, took home Senior Bowl M.V.P. honors as Jim Schwartz's North squad whipped Tony Sparano's South team 31-13 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium on Saturday evening.
Graham was highly disruptive despite seeing limited snaps so everyone could play. He finished with five tackles and two sacks, including a strip-sack of Oklahoma QB Zac Robinson to force a fumble recovered by the North at the South's 49-yard line.
Cincinnati WR Mardy Gilyard was highly productive for the North offense, catching five passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. Gilyard, who struggled with drops during the practice week, proved much better in the live setting. He beat decorated Alabama CB Javier Arenas down the right sideline for his touchdown, hauling in the 32-yard throw from Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour. LeFevour doesn't possess great arm strength, but moved the ball aggressively and finished with 97 yards on 10 attempts, the one passing touchdown, and another one-yard rushing score.
Headliner Tim Tebow of Florida was a non-factor. His scrambles didn't work against the elite speed of Schwartz's defense, and Tebow refused to throw down field. Tebow also fumbled twice, losing one, and managed just 50 yards on 8-of-12 passing. He gained four yards on four carries.

oh my god i'm dying what is that dog even
What's actually happening is that Riona here has repurposed her Bladed Chakram launcher into a Dog launcher. As to whether or not she strapped the Dog onto the Bladed Chakram or simply shoved the launcher up Angelo's ass is left to the viewer's imagination though. What doesn't make any dog-goddamn sense is how Riona is able to physically support Angelo's weight given that she looks like she's never even heard of a workout, let alone lifted a finger in the name of manual labor. She doesn't even look like she ever came into contact of a source of protein larger than a nut (at least until you give her the Devour command).
^You saw that on GAF? I saw the same image in the import thread over there. Pretty much the main reason people post stuff like that is to keep finding reasons to shit on the games (which is adorable at this point if you ask me). That said, I'm gonna search for that dog once I get my copy.

I mean, I haven't seen anything side-by-side so I won't judge it completely until I actually play it.
Speaking of the LR:FFXIII doge...

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (download) (as text) (annotate)
Fix bug #451596 - Mark ext4 as recommended fs
Part of bug #437338 - Remove acronym YMMV and use a better known sentence (in this case, "your results may vary")
Enhancing information on downsides wrt multiple partitions. This hopefully also clears up some of the confusion that is surrounding separate /usr partitions. Yes, it now mentions that an initramfs might be needed in that case. And no, we do not "recommend" a separate /usr partition, nor do we "not recommend" it.
Bug #334167 - Add ext4 information for HPPA architecture
Update HPPA handbook for the weekly autobuilds. Note that HPPA users must still download and boot a 2008.0 liveCD, as there aren't any weekly CDs. I guess the hardware is old and won't really change. Once there's a more recent CD, we can change hb-install-hppa-medium.xml to use the correct conditional include for the autobuild CD directory. Fixes bug 260403, bug 292726, and bug 234310.
Engrish fixes, bug 253374
fixing include blockdevices link to a correct one
release time. note that since this is beta1, the release dir and stage/media names have been adjusted accordingly. also, the handbooks are marked with a disclaimer=draft, so once the final is out, that will be removed and the release names adjusted. in the mean time, these are live. the beta is officially released. no, it's not april fools, but it is april 1st. :)
fixing tree type confusion. spank whoever told me to add that ext3 stuff in the first place, and me for blindly adding it. all fixed now; also fixed reiserfs, since it's actually B+, not B*
2007.0 release is here; final changes and new docs
Removing -O dir_index was not clever. It'll have to be removed for 2007.0 though.
Reworded reiserfs and ext3 descriptions for bug 153518
2006.1 networked docs are in. portage handbook still untouched per separate bugs. thanks to all the hard work, guys. blame me if something is wrong (and please fix quickly) :)
Improved coding style (tx grahl). *No Content Change*
#101034 - Adding "-O dir_index" information to the guide Leaving it out of the real example mke2fs command to "stage" it. When we know more about this b-tree stability and architectural support we can follow the SPARC handbook and use it by default.
#92450 - Add in information about the size of the Portage tree
#82559 - People got confused about the sentence :/
Separation of Gentoo Handbook into Current and 2004.3
#73345 - Fix more Gb/GB and Mb/MB typos
Converted dates to YYYY-MM-DD format
Moving 2004.3 documentation
Adding version/date information in pages
add some better partitioning info
#63752 - Add "and SATA" to the 15-partition limit warning
#61651 - Tell the user that there is a 15-partition limit for SCSI
#50289 - Move mounting of /proc right before the chrooting. This also takes care of the errors users receive while unpacking the stage tarballs. Apparently logics is something the crowd wants less
Move over files from the draft/ directory. 2004.2 is released :)
#57937: removed occurrences of xfs-sources, gaming-sources and [*] /dev/pts
#57267: performant is not proper English
Changes in default partition scheme according to #50894
#42823 - Separate architecture specific instructions in separate handbooks

The phrases within the quotation marks are my great-grandparents' actual quotes, with context provided in my grandfather's hand.
MOM: Growing up in the city + off from school in the summer, we had to be back in the apartment after the sun went down because:
"There is no good on the streets after dark."
DAD: When I didn't think I could handle going to Regis High School (a scholarship school):
"If the other kids can do it, you can do it."
DAD: "Don't take yourself too seriously . . . if you do, no one else will take you seriously at all."
"Laugh every chance you get, there will always be occasions to cry."
MOM: "Get as much education as you can. No matter what happens in life . . . that is the one thing no one can take away from you."
MOM: On raising babies:
"Get them before they are two, or they will get you."
As I type these out, I find that they're a lot more revealing than I realized on first reading them, and I hope to do some more in depth posts unpacking some of them in the future.

PLOVER, Wis., Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Authorities in Wisconsin said a woman found to be living with more than 300 rats running loose in her trailer home is being evicted.
The Portage County Sheriff's Department said Darlene Flatoff will be evicted from her Birch Tree Estates home in Plover within the next 10 days after health officials discovered the woman has been keeping more than 300 rats loose in her home since March of last year and possibly longer, the Wausau Daily Herald reported Thursday.
Officials said the rodents and their droppings are posing a health risk. They said Flatoff bought her first rats from pet stores and they eventually reproduced with wild rats.
"The health department is looking for me to meet with them in person along with the exterminator," Birch Tree Estates owner Luke Hilgers said. "Just to make sure that the exterminator's plan to address the issue will satisfy their expectations."
Officials said the eviction was planned after Flatoff failed to abide by an order to rid her home of rats by Jan. 17.
