Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15600 Release 7.2
August 2007
Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.
Release notes address closed (maintenance) issues, caveats, and new features for the Cisco ONS 15600. For detailed information regarding features, capabilities, hardware, and software introduced with this release, refer to Release 7.2 of the Cisco ONS 15600 Procedure Guide, Cisco ONS 15600 Reference Manual, Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide, and Cisco ONS 15600 Troubleshooting Guide.

Changes to the Release Notes
This section documents supplemental changes that have been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15600 Release 7.2 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15600 System Software CD for Release 7.2.
No changes have been added to the release notes for Release 7.2.
Review the notes listed below before deploying the ONS 15600. Caveats with tracking numbers are known system limitations that are scheduled to be addressed in a subsequent release. Caveats without tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the product.
The ONS-SE-2G-xx.x complies with performance criteria for all intra-facility fiber cables and connectors per Telcordia GR-326-CORE, Issue 3 Sept. 1999. Cisco recommends the following approved suppliers for intrafacility fiber cables to use with this product:
Maintenance and Administration
Caution VxWorks is intended for qualified Cisco personnel only. Customer use of VxWorks is not recommended, nor is it supported by Cisco's Technical Assistance Center. Inappropriate use of VxWorks commands can have a negative and service affecting impact on your network. Please consult the troubleshooting guide for your release and platform for appropriate troubleshooting procedures. To exit without logging in, enter a Control-D (hold down the Control and D keys at the same time) at the Username prompt. To exit after logging in, type "logout" at the VxWorks shell prompt.
PPM hardware part numbers are displayed incorrectly in the inventory column. This issue will be resolved in Release 8.0.
When an ASAP card 1PIO that has STS1 circuits on it is removed, the downstream NE will see UNEQ-P on the STS1 circuits instead of AIS-P, as expected. Concatenated circuits will see AIS-P, as expected. This issue does not occur with 4PIO removals, or with concatenated circuits. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
When you perform a Manual Switch To Protect and then an SD-L condition is raised on the Protect port that preempts the Manual Switch To Protect, the CTC Maintenance > Protection tab shows "APS_CLEAR." When you click Clear in that tab while the SD-L is still present on the protect port, the K bytes will change to "No Request" for about 400-1000 frames before redeclaring the SD-L condition. This issue can occur on ONS 15600 ASAP cards with 1+1 protection. It does not affect other cards or protection schemes. This issue does not affect traffic. This issue can only occur when using the CTC Maintenance > Protection tab under the aforementioned conditions. To avoid this issue, do not click Clear when the CTC Maintenance > Protection tab shows "APS_CLEAR" and SD-L is present on the protect port. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
A CTC client session can disconnect from an ONS node during simultaneous deletion of large numbers of VT level circuits (3000+). Connectivity to the node will recover without any user action. If the condition persists, restart the CTC session to reconnect. This issue is under investigation.
ONS platforms support only a single OSPF virtual link. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Network connectivity could be lost if a backbone area becomes segmented into multiple GNEs. This occurs only if multiple ONS 15600 nodes and routers are connected to the same LAN in OSPF area 0. If a link between two routers breaks, the CTC session connected to Router 1 will not be able to communicate with the ONS 15600 connected to Router 2. To resolve, you must repair the link between the routers or provide another form of redundancy in the network. This is as designed.
If OSPF on LAN is enabled with an area ID that is the same as the area ID of any of the DCC Links, CTC will not be able to discover any of the DCC Connected Nodes. To avoid this issue, set the OSPF on LAN area ID to an area other than any of those already occupied by a DCC link. This is as designed.
Equipment alarms are always reported based on the activity of the particular card, without taking card redundancy into consideration. Thus, an equipment alarm such as CTNEQPT-PB-0 may be raised against a line card as CR(SA) even though the traffic is protected. This issue will not be resolved.
Choosing certain qualities of RES settings in the CTC Provisioning tab, Timing subtab, may trigger a reference failure. Specifically, this can occur if you select the quality of RES level such that any of the following are true.
When you then input an actual reference signal lower than ST3E quality, the failure is triggered. This issue will not be resolved.
Optical IO Cards
A MFGMEM alarm might be incorrectly raised when using an ASAP card with the PIO4 with one SFP, then replacing that with a PIO1 and an XFP, then returning to the original configuration. When the alarm is mistakenly raised, it does not clear. You must remove and reinsert the SFP to clear the alarm. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
When the Active XC is removed, the traffic from the line card might be lost. If the line card is an ASAP card, the lack of traffic will cause a low transition signal density to enter the ASAP line card ASIC on the backplane egress interface. The downstream FPGA on the ASAP 1PIO daughter card will begin detecting B1 errors. These B1 errors will cause unexpected path protection switches. These errors will also be reported as equipment failures.
To avoid this issue ensure that the Active XC is in OOS-MT state before removing it. If this issue does occur, reset the 1PIO ASAP daughter card to clear the errored state. Resetting the ASAP carrier card will also clear the errored state. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
In ASAP card view, the PIM graphic might not update with the correct color after an alarm is cleared. This can occur anytime there is an alarm raised against the PIM or any of its subcomponents (PPM or port). To recover from this state, you must either click the Synchronize button, or change to node view and then back to card view. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
No graphical representations of LEDs for ASAP ports are displayed in the CTC card view. SD and SF LED representations are also absent from the CTC node view for some legacy OCn cards. There are no plans to resolve this issue.
BLSR Functionality
When you create a circuit in IS,AINS state while a BLSR is in the switch state the circuit will not transition from IS/AINS to IS. To avoid this ensure that the BLSR is in a stable state before creating a circuit. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Connections might still exist after circuit deletions on BLSR DRI rings for which the primary node is isolated. For BLSR DRI rings with several types of DRI circuits, if you isolate the primary node by deleting the database, reseat the I/O cards, then delete all BLSR DRI circuits, the SSXCs still show connections. To avoid this issue, do not delete or create BLSR DRI circuits when a node on the BLSR DRI ring is isolated. This issue will not be resolved.
CSCdx61916 and CSCeg20536
If, using CTC, you attempt to create a protected VT1.5 circuit that originates on one ONS 15327/454 that is connected to the ONS 15600 via path protection to another ONS 15327/454 that is connected to the ONS 15600 via 1+1 or BLSR, the circuit creation request will be denied because of mixed protection domains. CTC is currently incapable of routing VT circuits across the ONS 15600 when mixed protection schemes are involved. VT traffic can be routed across the ONS 15600 when mixed protection schemes are involved by performing the following:
Step 1 On the ONS 15600, create an STS level cross connect with the requisite path selectors.
Step 2 Use CTC to create a VT circuit from the source node to the trunk ports that interface to the 15600.
Step 3 Use CTC to create a VT circuit between the destination node and the trunk ports that interface with the 15600.
Note While this workaround provides the ability to route VT traffic across the ONS 15600 when mixed protection domains exist, the traffic must be managed as three separate circuits instead of one single end-to-end circuit.
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
When you attempt to configure VT circuits on a test configuration consisting of two ONS 15454 nodes and one ONS 15600 node, when both ONS 15454s are connected to the ONS 15600 node using a dual path protection connection configuration, and when the ONS 15600 node serves as an intermediate node between the two ONS 15454 nodes, you may be unable to create a VT circuit from one ONS 15454 to the ONS 15600 and then to the other ONS 15454. VT Tunnels are created, but the VT circuit is not created. A mixed protection domain error message is raised when this occurs. To avoid this issue, create the VT tunnels manually, so that the two tunnels do not create a topology where the working and protect tunnels share the same I/O card. After the tunnels have been created, the VT circuit can be successfully added. This issue will be resolved in future release.
Physical PM parameters can not be retrieved through the SNMP interface. MIBs released with the ONS 15600 do not have entries for the following physical PM parameters.
The standard SONET Generic MIB does not have entries for these. To work around this issue, use CTC to retrieve the values. SNMP support for these parameters may be considered for a future release.
The following PM parameters can not be retrieved through SNMP.
•Protection groups:
•Far End counts for line and path
•1-Day PM counts
To retrieve these counts, use CTC. SNMP support for these parameters may be considered for a future release.
Bridge and Roll
The manual bridge and roll feature allows you to perform the END command once the roll operation transitions from a ROLL PENDING to ROLL condition, even if the roll to port has an invalid signal. To avoid traffic impact, ensure that the roll-to line is alarm-free. If an alarm exists, you can choose to do nothing and wait for the alarm to clear, to delete the roll, or to proceed in spite of the alarm. This issue will not be resolved.
The AS-MT and the AS-CMD alarms do not show up on the alarm profile in CTC, so you cannot change the severity of these alarm using CTC. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
You cannot set the GIGE admin state to IS,AINS using the TL1 ED-GIGE command for the ONS 15600 ASAP card. The TL1 ED-GIGE command denies attempts to change the ADMIN state to IS,AINS this card. CTC, however, can execute the state change. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
The wrong SSMs for additional references are displayed in the TL1 RTRV-SYNCN command response for a 1+1 working line when that line is used as the primary reference for a node. References including SYNC-NE 2 and 3, and SYNC-BITS are incorrectly reported. To avoid confusion, use CTC to view the correct SSMs. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
The status field incorrectly displays IS-NR when performing a RTRV-EQPT TL1 command where the AID is of type PIM (Pluggable I/O Module) or PPM (Pluggable Port Module). Since PIMs and PPMs do not support equipment protection, the status field should display NA. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
You cannot perform an ENT-EQPT for a valid card type when the current equipment state is OOS-AUMA,MEA&UAS. When the fault PPM comes up as OOS-AUMA,MEA&UAS and then the ENT-EQPT command is entered using TL1, the command is rejected. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
A TL1 user cannot preprovision IO cards when a filler card is in the slot. Removal of the filler card will clear the slot and allow the TL1 user to preprovision the IO card. This is by design.
Resolved Caveats for Release 7.2
The following caveats were resolved in Release 7.2.
Maintenance and Administration
When a PPM or PIM is physically removed from a node yet remains provisioned, the CTC display shows as blue, as though it was only preprovisioned. Because the PPM or PIM is physically removed, and thus raises an improper removal alarm, CTC should display the alarmed entity as yellow. This issue is resolved in Release 7.2.
New Features and Functionality
This section highlights new features and functionality for Release 7.2. For detailed documentation of each feature, consult the user documentation.
New Hardware Features
One-Port I/O Module for OC-192 Support on ASAP Cards
Release 7.2 supports a new 1-Port I/O (1PIO) module, also called a Pluggable Input/Output Module (PIM), which plugs into the ASAP carrier card. With the Release 7.2 1PIO module the ASAP card provides up to four OC-192 ports per card. The ports operate at up to 2488.320 Mbps over a single-mode fiber. The ASAP card, when used with the new 1PIO module, supports up to four physical connector adapters (known as Small Form-factor Pluggables [SFPs or XFPs]), with two fibers per connector adapter (transmit [Tx] and receive [Rx]), for use with OC-192 line rates.
New ASAP Connectors
The following XFPs are new for Release 7.2, and work with the 1PIO only:
An ASAP carrier card supports up to four 1PIO/PIMs for OC192 line rates. Each 1PIO supports one SFP/XFP. The maximum configuration for an ASAP card using 1PIOs is 4 SFP/XFP ports. These ports can each be provisioned as OC192 line rate.
New Software Features
Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable NE Default
The Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable NE default makes it possible to set by default whether or not a user creating circuits can change (override) the automatic circuit routing setting (also provisionable as a default).
The new NE default supporting this feature is:
This default works in combination with the existing circuit routing default:
The overridable option enables network administrators to manage how circuits are created on a network-wide basis. For example, if the Automatic Circuit Routing default is set to FALSE (the check box is unchecked by default), then setting the Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable default to FALSE ensures that manual circuit routing is enforced for all users creating circuits (the default is not overridable by the user). When the Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable default is set to TRUE (the factory configured setting) users can click in the Automatic Routing check box to change the automatic routing setting if they wish.
When the Route Automatically check box is not selectable during circuit creation, the following automatic routing sub-options will also be unavailable:
•Using Required Nodes/Spans
•Review Route Before Creation
Like the Automatic Circuit Routing default, the Network Circuit Automatic Routing Overridable default applies to all nodes in the network. The Route Automatically check box is either overridable or not depending on how the default is set for the node you are logged into through CTC. To ensure correct behavior after setting the default, propagate the chosen default setting to all nodes through which users might log into the network to perform provisioning. For more information on NE defaults and their provisioning consult the user documentation.

Yeah, if you sit on a BTS transmitter you will have sleep problems
Gawd... Awful reporting... They used 1.5W+ which is way above the power of a basestation in an urban environment. In fact nowdays even the countryside ones operate at lower levels. Phones use even less - in the milliwatt range.
You have to be actually sitting on a stack of BTSes to get that level of radiation. Or have a whole array of them under your bed.

MIZI has proven its effectiveness against diarrhoea in weaned piglets in various studies. The SCHAUMANN active ingredient made of micronized zinc oxide (ZnO) offers safety in the critical weaning phase and helps to reduce performance losses.
Bereits nach kurzer Siloreifezeit ist BONSILAGE SPEED G in der Lage, hohe Mengen an hefen- und schimmelpilzhemmender Essigsäure zu bilden. Mit dem Siliermittel behandelte Grassilagen überzeugen schon nach 2 Wochen Siloreifezeit durch aerobe Stabilität.
Energy deficits, especially at the beginning of lactation, are a problem in dairy cattle farming. These deficits can be compensated by the use of BONSILAGE silage additives.
The 2017 silage competition of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Agriculture once again proved the strength of Europe's leading silage additive BONSILAGE. Grass silages treated with BONSILAGE came in first.
A new trial shows that Tirsana BSK NG increases the milk performance. Especially at farms with automated milking systems, palatability of feed at the robots und balanced energy supply plays an important role for the performance of dairy herds.
Monoglycerides (MCM) support intestine health and encourage powerful, consistent growth of fattening pigs until the end of fattening period. Feed intake and conversion rate develop positive.
RUMIVITAL®i überzeugt beim Einsatz in einer Teil-TMR mit NFC-Werten im Grenzbereich (385 g NFC/kg TM), die durch das Ausgleichsfutter noch verschärft wurde. Aber auch in Voll-TMR-Rationen mit hohen NFC-Werten kann RUMIVITAL®i seine Wirksamkeit beweisen.
The chamber of Agriculture of Lower Saxony has awarded grass silages of high quality. Many farms were able to produce, despite adverse weather conditions, highquality forage and lay foundation for low feed costs, high animal health and best performances.
The results from a 450-sow herd confirm the effectiveness of SCHAUMALAC 50 PLASMA G. Higher daily weight gains, improved feed conversion and increased throughput guarantee the economic viability of pig rearing.
Farm-based studies confirm that BONSILAGE PROTECT provides efficient protection against Clostridia and silage heating in the medium DM range.
Reports from the world of practice confirm it: SCHAUMA OMNI-S leads to more intensive oestrus behaviour and a higher conception rate. The positive effects of SCHAUMA OMNI-S have been documented in another practical trial.
The use of RINDAMAST products improves feed conversion, supports feed intake, increases daily weight gain and ensures well-balanced animals in general.

Discovery Cove in Orlando
Junior Jetset: Discovery Cove
If you're looking for a fabulous family adventure, there's a spot in Florida that offers parents an oasis and their offspring incredible sea-life encounters. The folks at Busch Entertainment invited me to Orlando to check out Discovery Cove, a reservations-required, tropical retreat that offers kids six and older the chance to get up close with dolphins and those of all ages the opportunity to swim with rays (their stingers have been removed) and tropical fish. One lagoon also allows for safe snorkeling alongside sharks and barracudas as a partition separates the two pools. And, a bird aviary where park goers can hand feed over 250 exotic birds.
- Location: Orlando
- Price: $269 all-inclusive per person, children under 3 are free.
- Includes: Dolphin encounter, unlimited access to coral reef, ray lagoon, pool, tropical river, and aviary, all food, beverages (including alcoholic ones), swim gear (mask, snorkel, swim vest, or wetsuit) towel, locker, sunscreen and use of locker-room showers, etc., parking, a complimentary photo, and a pass to SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, or Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
- Food: Breakfast — muffins, pastries, coffee, juices, tea,etc. Snack stations — chips, cookies, sodas, juice, etc. Lunch at Laguna Grill — offering entrees like pasta primavera, lobster salad, fried chicken, salmon, and kid-friendly favorites from mac and cheese to mashed potatoes.
While some parents may find the park a tad pricey, the chance to interact with sea life in such a safe environment is well worth it in my opinion. My experience was so incredible that I plan on returning with my own kids once they are old enough to swim with the dolphins. Most amusement parks cost a pretty penny, but this one is incredibly relaxing since it also offered sandy beaches for lounging and was not over crowded. Discovery Cove also has ample lifeguards patrolling the water areas and staff at your beck and call. If you're searching for a place to splurge on your fam, this is it.

In January, Roadracing World Editor-in-Chief John Ulrich penned an editorial where he outlined his desire to create a three-event road racing series that would take place between the six-week time period of AMA Pro Road Racing's first and second rounds.
This "triple crown" event would be help bolster the current five — hopefully to be announced six — events on the AMA Pro Road Racing calendar, which in-turn would help AMA Pro Racing teams and riders meet their obligations with their sponsors.
Ulrich also hoped in his article that some sort of tape-delayed TV package could be put together for the three events as well, another item desperately needed by AMA stakeholders, yet seemingly elusive for DMG officials to put together.
Several sources have now confirmed to Asphalt & Rubber that the triple crown series is a go, with Sonoma Raceway, Auto Club Speedway at Fontana, and Miller Motorsports Park to host the three rounds on its schedule.
Ulrich's event will piggyback off the amateur racing schedules at those race tracks, making the triple crown event a proper Pro-Am outing of motorcycling's best professional and amateur racers.

Im trying to extract any and all matches with RegExMatch for some anims. I want to modify the anims easy and create sequences so the easiest way i thought was to use variables with multiple entries. I did not actually start on it, trying to find the solution to separate stuff first.
So, anyone know the regex thing for extracting something like this:
I tried mutliple RegEx combos, this being the latest.
Now, i could use tons of loops that would match one by one and removing one entry at a time but i thought a regex match would be much more efficient because it already sets any match to an array that i can later parse. Any thoughts?
Code: Select all
; The anim instructins that should take place.
AnimSeq=[Action: PlayOnce] [Move: X "500"] [Move: Y "200"] [Action: AnimEnd]
AnimSeq2=[Action: Play "3"] [Move: X "500"] [Move: Y "300"] [FrameCount: 35] [Action: Finish]
; Remove spaces because its one constants not needed for any evaluations?
StringReplace, AnimSeq, AnimSeq, %A_Space%, , All

Here's my advice for President Barack Obama as he embarks on his second term: Follow the example of one of your heroes, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Not the Roosevelt of the first two terms but the Roosevelt of the next two. The Roosevelt who won the war.
Everyone agrees that the economy is recovering from the recession far too slowly. Everyone wants U.S. businesses to start hiring again. The Obama administration knows it needs to mend fences with business. Maybe it should study how Roosevelt pulled it off.
When it entered World War II in 1941, the United States was the world's mightiest industrial power, but lagged behind the major belligerents in military strength. Yet in 1942 — the first year of war production — U.S. factories produced more aircraft, tanks and artillery than all the Axis powers combined. That same year, the U.S. outproduced Japanese naval yards by an astonishing 16-to-1.
To accomplish this remarkable feat, Roosevelt had to recognize that the business community that he had antagonized and alienated during his first two terms in office held the key to the nation's survival. As the historian Richard Overy explains in his book "Why the Allies Won," Roosevelt's response was basically to turn over war production to his political opponents.
The administration tried not to micromanage, he writes: "Corporate bosses had as much, if not more, experience of the kind of planning and coordination needed in a wartime economy than did government officials, whose only real experience was the ill-starred New Deal."
Ford's bomber
One of the most famous stories of the war involves the B-24 bomber, the U.S. wartime mainstay. Henry Ford was invited to bid on a parts contract. He refused. He would rather build the entire plane, he said, from start to finish, using the assembly-line method that his company had pioneered.
Even the military was initially skeptical. How could the mass-production techniques that turned out automobiles be adapted to the construction of planes, tanks and ships? A car, after all, had about 15,000 parts; a B-24 bomber had 1.5 million. The tried and true method of building one plane at a time, rather than using an assembly line, appealed more to both the generals and the civilians in charge of production.
But Ford insisted that he could build a plant that would produce a bomber an hour. Nobody thought such a thing was possible. Nevertheless, in the end, the administration gave him his head. The result was the Willow Run plant, one of the great success stories of wartime production. Running full tilt, the factory almost met the goal that once seemed so laughable: A finished bomber came off the line every 63 minutes.
It's not just that Ford was correct. It's that he was motivated by the desire to maximize profit, which provided the necessary incentive to innovate.
As the war went on, notes Arthur Herman in his book "Freedom's Forge: How American Business Produced Victory in World War II," the business community successfully resisted efforts to place a single czar in charge of the production of war materiel. It preferred the extant system, which left "defense production in the hands of business, not the government." Obviously, some of this was self-interest, but not all of it. According to Herman, the system remained untouched "largely because everyone could see how well it worked."
The point isn't that business is necessarily better or smarter than government. It's that government isn't necessarily better or smarter than business. That's why genuine conversation and the exchange of ideas matter so much.
Obama's foot
Unfortunately, the Obama administration, during its first term, got off very much on the wrong foot. Bob Woodward, in his book "The Price of Politics," tells the story of a telephone call in which Sam Palmisano, at that time the chief executive officer of International Business Machines Corp., warned then Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the health care bill might cost the company $700 million over 10 years, leading to 20,000 lost jobs. Emanuel, in Woodward's telling, responded with profanity-laden disbelief.
But why? An increase in the cost of employees tends to lead to fewer employees. This isn't advanced economics. It's simple arithmetic. Sometimes the trade-offs are worth it, and being honest about them is helpful. Environmental regulation hit the Coal Belt hard, but led to cleaner air. Business doesn't always have to get its way. But it needs to be an integral part of a serious and reflective conversation.
The politics of such conversations are touchy. So far, to judge from the accounts in Woodward's book, the Obama administration has handled them poorly.
That isn't to say it is easy to handle them well. In his book "Knowledge and Coordination," the economist Daniel Klein points out some factors inhibiting the necessary exchange. "If the conversation is friendly and cooperative, commentators clamor against the influence of lobbyists and special interests. If the conversation is fearsome and demanding," he writes, "some complain that business withheld information or misled officials."
We might add to Klein's summary by paraphrasing the legal scholar Alexander Bickel: If the conversation is one-sided, it isn't a conversation at all; it's a monologue. This has nothing to do with whether one thinks the administration's agenda is anti-business. The president can have abundant good will toward the private sector and still recognize that there are more good ideas than his experts and allies have come up with.
Nor is the point whether the administration has friends in the business community — obviously it has many. It's whether Obama is willing to reach out to those with whom relations are more strained. Outreach doesn't mean a speech, or a roomful of press, but an actual private conversation from which both sides might learn, followed by the possibility of stepping away from ideological certainties and allowing businesses to lead rather than follow.
In both Herman's and Overy's telling, that's what Roosevelt and his people did. Getting the economy unstuck isn't the same as winning the war against fascism, but that doesn't mean we can't use the same methods. Once the United States joined the war, Roosevelt accepted the premise that business executives knew more about their fields than even the best-intentioned regulators. The hostility of many executives toward his policies didn't change this underlying truth.
From this beginning, political antagonists built together the mightiest industrial power the world has ever known. If the United States is to maintain its primacy, it could do worse than starting out the same way.

It seems to me that, more than any other grape, merlot gives wine that is either really good or really boring. Most, of course, falls into the latter category. Even if it's not outright bad, it's dull and generic with little to provide interest. The wine we opened last night was very much in the other category. I bought it after being very impressed with it at the winery, and it did not let us down. Very dark color, forward nose of black fruit with some good resiny/brambly notes. Big on the palate, with rich fruit character, herbs, and nice resiny flavors to provide some complexity. Nice bracing acidity and moderate tannins kept it very nicely balanced, and it finished long and clean, if a bit astringent.
If I heard correctly at the winery, they will not be making any more of this. Their parent company (Allied Domecq, I believe?) decided they are to be a PINOT NOIR producer. It's too bad - this is some really good juice. We need more merlot like it.

Galactic Empire raises terror alert level to orange
Where man always bites dog

Problems playing this file? You might be a dope.
While Empire officials insist the decision to elevate the alert level is merely a precaution, galactic political analysts are not so sure. Many have pointed out that the significance of the death of known Rebel associate Obi-Wan Kenobi has been severely overplayed by the Empire's press liaisons. "Kenobi was nothing but an old man with a light-up sword and detailed knowledge of the inner engineering schematics and tractor beam mechanics of the Empire's headquarters," said one such analyst. "The fact the the Empire is drawing so much attention to this minor player's demise is alarming, and may suggest that the Empire is scrambling to keep terrorist activity quelled." Such obvious treason by critics of the Empire has been dealt with swiftly, and any detractors of the invincible Galactic political machine have been detained indefinitely.
In an official statement, Grand Moff Tarkin, who was recently promoted from Minor Moff, expressed confidence in the Empire's ability to deal with the "rebel scum." He seemed confident and powerful until a reporter asked him to comment on rumors circulating that detailed blueprints of the Death Star may have been obtained by the Rebel forces and stored on a droid resembling a garbage can. At this point he became agitated, insisting that the Rebel Alliance was not a threat to the Empire, and that "those guys look like dorks." Tarkin finally vowed immediate victory against the Rebels, promising to crush them with one swift stroke. "The rebels are not a major concern of our Homespace Security Department. We have several leads on their location, and are engaged in aggressive measures, rather than preventative ones. " At press time, the Empire's fleet was embarking to the suspected Rebel Headquarters on Yavin, and rent on high-end condos in the Death Star has dropped to an all-time low.

Moon and Regulus [1]
Most stars are fairly round, like balls. But the star that represents the heart of the lion is shaped more like a pill - a disk that's much wider through the equator than through the poles.
Regulus, the brightest star of Leo, stands to the left or lower left of the Moon as night falls this evening, and trails along behind the Moon during the night.
Regulus is sculpted by its rotation. Its equator spins at about 700,000 miles per hour - more than a hundred times faster than the Sun. That pushes the gas at its equator outward, so Regulus is about a third wider through the equator than through its poles. And that's about as wide as it can go. If the star were to spin just 10 percent faster, it would fly apart.
The spin is probably the result of interactions between Regulus and a companion star. The companion was originally much heavier than Regulus, so it aged more rapidly. As it neared the end of its life, it puffed up and dumped some of its gas on the surface of Regulus, spinning it up. Today, all that's left of the companion is its hot but dead core, a white dwarf.
Because the gas at Regulus's poles is so much closer to the core than the gas at the equator, the poles are thousands of degrees hotter than the equator, so they look much bluer. They're also much brighter.
Again, look for Regulus to the left of the Moon this evening. It'll stand above the Moon tomorrow evening. We'll have more about Regulus and the Moon tomorrow.

I hacked the existing emacs-based ODB EditorClient to launch Sublime Text instead, so you can now edit in Sublime Text from anywhere* if you install the lovely QuickCursor from the Mac App store. I borrowed Nate Beaty's beautiful icon - hope that's ok, but let me know if it's not!
To install: Download github.com/downloads/jaylevitt/ ... app.tar.gz, unzip it and put it into your Applications folder, then relaunch QuickCursor.Source: github.com/jaylevitt/SublimeEditorClient
@jps: ST doesn't like filenames with colons, and QuickCursor uses colons to delimit its internal path-to-textarea mapping. If I do "subl somefile:something", it works fine, but "subl somefile:something:0" (to specify the starting line) doesn't. It's not important for QuickCursor, but it'd be great if you could be smart about handling that extra colon so this will work for other ODB-related uses. Assuming there are any.
You are my hero! I would like to fix the unicode problem, but I am not experienced in Objective C as well...
Since Nightly Build 2187, Sublime Text supports the ODB Editor Suite natively. So now it works with QuickCursor out of the box. Woot!
For those wondering how to get it to show up, make sure you're running at least QuickCursor 2.6, go into QuickCursor preferences, and add the custom bundle ID "com.sublimetext.2".
I'm still having trouble with this. Has any one gotten a great experience out of this? The big issue I've seen is inconsistently posting back into the form (not sure if I need to save, save & close window, save & close window & close application).
Additionally I'd love to have it always open a new window, set to default layout.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same issues, Daniel. When I fiddle with it it seems to work great, then I'll spend 30 minutes working on an important document only to have it lost when I close the document, exit Sublime, and not have the updated text appear in Safari (for example).
This thread should be moved to Technical Support.
It works as well as for other editors, e.g. TextMate or MacVim. But in general I suppose QuickCursor should be cosidered a hack. It is fairly easy to get it to loose connection to the initiating text field. Anyhow, I always make sure I have the final text in the clipboard as well, in case the update fails. Ymmw ...

Cherry Blossoms Say Spring (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now at:
In the style of the Picture the Seasons books, Cherry Blossoms Say Spring looks at the life cycle of a cherry tree, the history behind the gift of the Japanese cherry trees to our nation's capital, and the association of cherry trees and spring. Vibrant scenes from the Cherry Blossom Festival and the flood of visitors to the Tidal Basin are balanced with shots of the natural beauty of these trees. Nothing captures spring quite so iconically as cherry trees in Washington, D.C., and this portrait of them evokes the awe countless Washington, D.C., visitors and residents have experienced over so many years.

Jason made these years before in cooking school at The French Culinary Institute (called choux à la crème) but I wanted to find an Italian version. So I emailed our friends Paola and Antonio the owners of our favorite artisan gelateria, Maki and asked them for their favorite profiterole recipe. Anything dessert related especially if chocolate is involved they are our favorite place to turn. Below is the recipe Antonio learned while taking a cooking courses at La Cucina Italiana as well as the "Profiterole Pyramid" topped with a healthy helping of chocolate cream!!
Profiteroles - Cream Puffs - Choux à la Crèmemakes 50
250 ml water
150 gr flour, sifted
100 gr butter
4 eggs (both yolk and white)
salt/sugar: just a pinch
Bring the water, together with the butter, the salt and a pinch of sugar, to the boil.
Add the flour and mix well keeping the pan on the fire for just a couple of minutes, until the mixture is well amalgamated and it comes off the sides of the pan.
Let it cool down a little before adding the eggs, one at a time: mix well the egg before adding the following one.
Put the mixture into a sac a poche or pastry bag and place the profiterole or 'choux' (they should be as big as a walnut) on a baking tray covered with parchment paper.
Cook for about 15-20 minutes at 180/200° C until they puff up and get a nice golden color.
Tip: Antonio would reduce the amount of butter (20gr less) should he need to fry the profiterol (he would also add a pinch of baking soda) while the above recipe is good if you want to cook them in the oven.
Filling: ( You can also fill with custard cream or even whipped cream)
284 ml/10fl oz whipping cream
1 vanilla pod
powdered sugar (icing sugar) to taste
Place the cream into a bowl. Cut the vanilla pod in half lengthways with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the cream.
Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Add icing sugar, to taste, and mix in gently.
Topping: Since we asked chocolate makers for their recipe, of course they top their profiteroles with a healthy drizzle of chocolate sauce.
500 ml milk
5 egg yolks
150 gr sugar
35-40 gr corn flour, sifted
250 gr dark chocolate
250 ml cream
Bring the milk to the boil then add the chocolate.
In a separate bowl, mix sugar and egg yolks. Then add the flour, mix and finally add the end the hot milk/chocolate
Cook the mixture very gently for a couple of minutes just until it starts boiling. Remove from heat and add the cream.
Tip: If you want the classic profiterole pyramid, just dip them into the chocolate sauce (after you've filled them with cream) and place them on a plate and decorate.

Welcome to our on-line catalog. A list of patterns that are available is in the "List of Crossbows" page. In addition, all of the old crossbow patterns are still available, and they are listed in our book, Iolo's First Book of Crossbows. which is available for free download. The book contains information on medieval archery, bow safety, and all of our crossbow styles and options.
We build only Medieval and Renaissance-style crossbows — mostly light target and recreational bows. We can make bows anywhere from 50 to 180 lb. draw, 250 to 1500 inch-pounds of power. (Inch-pounds equal draw weight x draw length, thus 100 pounds x 8 inches = 800 in/lb.)
For backyard target practice and medieval war games, such as those played by Markland Militia and the Society for Creative Anachronism, we recommend a bow of about 75 lb at 7 1/2 inches of draw (@ 550 inch-pounds). This same bow would suffice for hunting small game or for bow fishing. Accuracy and penetration required for hunting large game, or target shooting at longer ranges (over 75 yards require a bow of 100 lb. or more. We recommend at least 1000 in/lb, preferably 1200.
The standard bowstave for our bows is a very efficient aluminum alloy prod of about 75 pound draw at 7 1/2 inches of draw. This bow can be drawn to a bit over 80 lb. and can be under drawn down to about 50 lb. If you desire a strong bow for long range shooting or hunting large game, you will want to purchase the steel bowstave (prod) that is available from 125 to 175 pounds at about 7-8 inches of draw. The steel prod will cost an extra $60. (We have discontinued the fiberglass bows due to difficulty in getting them at a reasonable prices and their inherent fragility.)
A note of caution: Bows in excess of @150 lb. of draw will be hard to pull, have more recoil and destroy more bolts than the lighter bows. They will not be as much fun to play with, and are more likely to seriously injure or kill your neighbors if you should have a shooting mishap in your back yard. All bows are dangerous if used unsafely, but the STRONG bows are REALLY DANGEROUS! We do not recommend you buy a bow in excess of 150 lb. unless you have some particular purpose for a very strong bow.
To help disguise their modern look, all aluminum crossbow prods come with a dyed (black or brown), stitched on deerskin cover. The prod may be made without the cover, upon request, for a $15 reduction in price.

MERRIMACK, NH - (July 22, 2008) - Treatment for cellulite is a healthcare holy grail – second only (in this author's opinion) to a cure for male pattern baldness. As the bane of women the world over, interest in the space is hearty.
Elemé Medical has developed the FDA-cleared SmoothShapes system, a proprietary technology (dubbed Photomology) to treat the underlying causes of cellulite. Photomology combines laser energy with mechanical massage and vacuum to improve the appearance of the skin surface, but only temporarily.
The company, private and venture-backed, raised $18 million this week in a "Series C" financing led by L Capital Partners. The round also included Hambrecht & Quist.
In a multicenter, prospective, randomized and controlled clinical study of the SmoothShapes system, 81% patients treated showed reduction in subcutaneous fat in the 'treated' versus 'untreated' leg. Most patients found the treatment comfortable and 80% wanted to continue "ongoing maintenance treatment".
What's better than a cure for cellulite? A solution that requires ongoing treatment!
Targeted markets include plastic surgeons, dermatologists, OB/GYN and primary care specialists, medi-spas, aesthetic clinics and health clubs. In 2006, the body shaping market generated $4.5 billion in device sales, procedures and fees. By 2011, the market could grow to $8.1 billion, says Michael Moretti, in his Global Body Shaping Market Analysis, published in 2006. Expansion will be "driven both by rising demand from consumers and expanding supply from practitioners," says Moretti.
The newly raise funds will be used to commercialize the SmoothShapes System and also to further the company's pipeline of body shaping technologies.

Aluminium bridge design
We offer advanced design aluminum bridge decking technologies that provide you with clear advantages over traditional steel and concrete construction.
Bridge decking technologies
We offer two aluminium bridge decking technologies:
- Aluminium isotropic deck technology
- Aluminium orthotropic deck technology
Both have been successfully tried and tested on bridge deck projects for decades. Evaluations funded by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration show that aluminium decking is viable for many bridge applications.
Aluminium in bridges
Complete more projects, at lower cost and in less time – and also minimize traffic disruptions during rehabilitation and repairs.
Aluminium bridge
Aluminium bridge technologies are strong alternatives to traditional steel and concrete constructions because:
- Aluminium facilitates rehabilitation versus replacement
- The metal is easily and profitably recycled
- Lower maintenance costs lead to lower lifecycle costs
- Decreased dead load allows old bridges to be widened on existing substructure
- Time is saved with pre-assembly options for bridge decks or bridge replacement
Contact Hydro with your bridge project and we will develop the aluminium solutions you need.

Blueprint Camp Continues: Head to Indy Wednesday
July 13, 2010
They've been on campus less than two days, but thirteen young men involved in the Blueprint Summer Program have already gotten a taste of what their college course loads might one day look like. Click
to see photos from Blueprint Summer Programs at Wabash.
"We're thrilled to be offering young men from high schools throughout the country the opportunity to experience the college classroom," said Bill Doemel, director of operations for the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts. "Five young men are currently exploring the biology and chemistry of drug development. Eight young men are engaged in a very different course that focuses on the issues of life and death as those intersect with ethics and law."
For the pharmaceutical development program, Wabash professors Ann Taylor, Scott Feller, and Walter Novak from the Chemistry Department are leading the students.
"We have already learned what pharmaceutical drugs look like and how they are created," said Dillon Shellman, who attends Central Noble High School near Fort Wayne, Ind. "It was really interesting for me because I enjoy science and am interested in entering the medical field."
The students will travel Wednesday to Eli Lilly and Company in Indianapolis. Wabash alumni Jared Fennell '93, Principal Research Scientist, and Alonzo Weems '92, Assistant General Counsel, have organized a visit to the company so students will see first hand how new drugs are discovered and developed.
Wabash professors Scott Himsel, Cheryl Hughes, and Todd McDorman are joined by Kris McAloon, a Constitutional Law and A.P. Government teacher at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, and are confronting and considering some of the legal and ethical issues that arise from decisions about life and death.
McDorman led a session Tuesday morning that focused on the exploits of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, better known as "Dr. Death." McDorman presented several videos reporting Kevorkian's activities that gave different views on the doctor's role in physician-assisted suicides. The students were then asked to discuss the material and defend their thoughts.
"We are trying to give the students exposure to a wide variety of questions that are at the intersection of law and ethics, but also involve public policy" McDorman said. "These questions touch a number of subjects that might not be available in the high school curriculum – philosophy, rhetorical studies, and constitutional law. The students have been very engaged to this point and they have already had their beliefs tested."
Students in this track will meet with Judge John Baker, who is Chief Judge of the Indiana Court of Appeals. Judge Baker, in 1982, made a crucial legal decision concerning the fate of "Baby Doe," a child born with Down's Syndrome and an incomplete esophagus. Judge Baker will be talking about this case and the ethical and legal issues surrounding it.
While these academic experiences are at the core of their week on campus, these students also have time to relax, to know each other better, to know Wabash students, and to know the opportunities of the campus. Students also have the opportunity to learn about college admissions procedures from Wabash Admissions staff.
Along with field trips to Eli Lilly and Judge Baker Wednesday, the group will also visit the NCAA Hall of Champions, spend time in downtown Indianapolis, and have dinner at a popular steakhouse.
The Blueprint program runs until July 17.

Ontario Graduate Certificates in Math, Science and Engineering Campus Programs
Math, Science and Engineering Certificate Schools offer programs where students could earn a stand-alone credential or prepare for a future masters degree. Called graduate certificates, most courses of study entail anywhere from three to eighteen credits. Typically, the courses target a single content area which means they might fit into a year of full-time study. Through a focused program, students could work to refine or gain technical skills and knowledge, reboot a resume and further their grasp of current theory and research.
What Programs Do Math, Science and Engineering Certificate Schools Offer?
You can look for Math, Science and Engineering Certificate Schools for graduate certificates in each of these technical areas and their related subjects. Most programs tackle one aspect of a broader category, so you can cast a wide net first and then refine based on your career goals and personal interests.
How Do I Get Started?
You basically need a bachelors degree to apply to most schools with certificate programs. That said, math, science and engineering certificate schools could have programs that cater to professionals with experience and a graduate degree in hand. A few examples of campus-based graduate certificates in math, science and engineering are listed below.
On-Campus Engineering Certificates
An advanced certificate in materials science and engineering could form a common base of materials-oriented knowledge for students from diverse academic backgrounds. Typical applicants hold a bachelors degree in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Interdisciplinary in nature, students who pursue their certificate could take courses that include chemistry, physics, and electrical, mechanical, and microelectronic engineering.
A graduate certificate in engineering management
could help current engineers gain the skill sets needed to manage business. Courses could explore leadership from the point of view of the technology professional as well as key issues for engineer managers. These could cover things like product development and market success for new technologies. If you decide to take the next step towards an M.S. in Engineering Management, in most cases these earned credits can be applied towards the master's degree.

The wildlife viewing at Duma Tau and Chitabe was incredible. We saw both cheetah and leopard kills. The two locations were equally beautiful, but different. We were a little intimidated because we had never traveled to Africa but it was so easy! All we had to do was sit back and let everyone take care of us.

Deus Ex shipped in June 2000. Sales were, and continue to be, strong, worldwide. Critical response (with one or two notable exceptions) has been positive. We've already won several "best of year" awards in the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. Needless to say it's gratifying when people appreciate your work.
We did a lot of stuff right on Deus Ex; we did a lot of stuff wrong. In this article, I'd like to take the opportunity to looks at some of that stuff. Specifically, I want to discuss:
Let's start with a simple question for those of you who have no idea what Deus Ex (a.k.a. "That Game with a Wacky Name") is…
The Deus Ex player's alter ego, J.C. Denton, strikes a heroic pose.
What is Deus Ex?
I'll try to be brief. (Those of you who know me know I'll probably fail…)
Fictionally, Deus Ex is set in a near-future version of the real world (as it exists if conspiracy buffs are right). For some real shorthand, call it "James Bond meets The X-Files." (Remember that seemingly innocent claim that Deus Ex is set in the real world. It'll come up again shortly…)
Conceptually, Deus Ex is a genre-busting game (which really endeared us to the marketing guys) -- part immersive simulation, part role-playing game, part first-person shooter, part adventure game.
It's an immersive simulation game in that you are made to feel you're actually in the game world with as little as possible getting in the way of the experience of "being there." Ideally, nothing reminds you that you're just playing a game -- not interface, not your character's back-story or capabilities, not game systems, nothing. It's all about how you interact with a relatively complex environment in ways that you find interesting (rather than in ways the developers think are interesting), and in ways that move you closer to accomplishing your goals (not the developers' goals).
It's a role-playing game in that you play a role and make character development choices that ensure that you end up with a unique alter ego. You make your way through a variety of minute-to-minute gameplay experiences (which add up to a story) in a manner that grows naturally out of the unique aspects of your character. Every game system is designed to differentiate one player-character from another, and to allow players to make decisions that reflect their own biases and express character differences in obvious ways in the game world.
It's a first-person shooter because the action unfolds in real time, seen through the virtual eyes of your alter ego in the game world. Your reflexes and skill play an important part in determining your success in combat. However, unlike the typical FPS, Deus Ex doesn't force you to shoot every virtual thing that moves. Also unlike the average FPS, in which gameplay is limited to pulling a virtual trigger, finding blue keys to open blue doors and jumping to reach seemingly inaccessible locations, Deus Ex offers players a wide range of gameplay options.
And finally, Deus Ex is like adventure games in that it's story-driven, linear in narrative structure, and involves character interaction and item accumulation to advance the plot. However, unlike most adventure games (in which you spend the bulk of your time solving clever puzzles in a search for the next static, but very pretty, screen), Deus Ex asks players to determine how they will solve game problems and forces them to deal with the consequences of their choices.
Deus Ex was designed from the start to combine elements of all of these genres. But more important than any genre classification, the game was conceived with the idea that we'd accept players as our collaborators, that we'd put power back in their hands, ask them to make choices, and let them deal with the consequences of those choices. It was designed, from the start, as a game about player expression, not about how clever we were as designers, programmers, artists, or storytellers. Which leads naturally to a discussion of having clear goals -- the first thing I think we did right.

Is there any app for iPhone 4 that let you play backgammon iPhone vs iPhone?
Yes, Backgammon premium is the name of the app, from Trivial Technology. It's $1.99, it's worth it as most free options don't offer multi-player options.
IPhone 3GS to iPhone 4. I just bought a iPhone 3GS the day before the iPhone 4 was announced. Is there any way I can return mine with the money going towards the iPhone 4?
I'm assuming this is old as the iPhone has been out awhile, but no there is no return policy with Apple or AT&T.
IPhone 3g wont work with universal dock it says in the box iPhone iPhone 3g and iPhone 3GS and comes with the connectors but it says this accessory is not made to work with iPhone?
restore your iphone completely...
Should I buy an iphone 4 now or wait for the iphone 5 PS I have the 1st gen iPhone so i wanna new phone but w8ing seems better because they keep releassing new models every year which is annoying?
Depends, if you really want the iPhone 5 then you should get it if you don't mind spending more money on it. I'd wait.
Your iPhone up when you tried to update the software to iPhone 4 then you had to restore the iPhone to original factory settings and now it wont do that HELP?
No it is not as sliim as iphone 3g

It seems as if Brandon's quarrying history has been reborn with the Route 7 road work just south of town. Unlike in the 1800s, when Brandon enjoyed its heyday as a marble quarry center, the work is now being conducted with enormous excavators and front-end bucketloaders, the kind my young boys love to watch in videos. The dump trucks lined up and waiting to be loaded are size of those we see at Omya's open house each year. Gravel has been spread on each side of the road to bear the weight of this enormous equipment and to give the giant rock moving machines room to maneuver as they carve out the hillside in order to straighten and widen Route 7's tortured twisting route out of Brandon.
I have always been drawn to Brandon's marble history. The hitching posts that are still located in front of the older homes, even those way out in the country, are mute testament to its importance, as are the places where old marble slab walkways remain intact. A few houses are still graced with front stairs or retaining walls for raised lawns, and others are lined with marble edging or curbs.
But I am most intrigued by the marble ghosts that haunt the town. On Route 7 south of Woods Market Garden and before the river, if you look up to the left you can see an old hitching post still standing in the woods where there must have once been a house. Just north of town, next to a side-by-side two-family home, stands the crumbling front wall and steps leading to a house that is no longer there. And down by the tracks on the corner of Union and Church Streets, a vacant lot is edged with a marble curb where a house once stood.
It makes for exciting backyard archaeology. Once, while digging up an azalea bush for transplanting to a sunnier spot in my yard, I found its root ball had encased a large chunk of marble that somehow had ended up under ground a few feet from the front of the house. I assume that these and other large chunks of broken marble castoffs I have unearthed while gardening had once been hauled to the site when the original house was moved there in the 1850s to create an ad hoc foundation. My most exciting discovery to date, however, was when we ripped up our asphalt front walk and uncovered the original marble stepping off stone at the curb, now a good two inches below the level of the lawn.
I put all of my recovered marble in what we call our "stone garden," modeled after the one we like to visit at the old Vermont Marble Company's factory building in Proctor. I am not above raiding the slag pile that remains undisturbed many years after the closing of the factory for bench pieces and supports when we visit. But mostly I like to reuse stone I have found on my own property, knowing that it probably came from a Brandon quarry or cutting mill. I make cairns among the flower beds and marble pathways through our overgrown thicket of a garden. Each of my children also has their own special marble bench. One day I hope to collect enough of my own marble to raise our rotting carriage barn sills enough to keep it standing for another 150 years.
Brandon began cutting marble before it became a quarrying town in its own right. The first marble mill was built over the Neshobe River at the site of the current Town Offices, and it sawed Pittsford marble transported by boat up Otter Creek and the Neshobe River beginning in 1811. The first quarry on record was opened on a farm west of the village in 1840, and by 1843 a Mr. E. D. Seldon owned both the quarry and the old stone mill above the village, creating a vertical monopoly that allowed him to exploit his investments extensively. Six-horse teams were required to haul the rough-cut blocks from the quarry on the swampy outskirts of town to the mill. It must have been quite a sight, as well as a traffic stopper, when one of the teams came laboring up to the mill. A sample of the pure white statuary marble can be seen in the Brandon Congregational Church's pulpit, which Mr. Seldon donated. Other marble companies followed suit, quarrying and milling their own product and hauling by horse-team to the rail station for transport.
Most Brandon quarries were bought up and fell into disuse long before they were quarried out. Either the owners died and no one was willing to invest in newer technology to make them profitable, or a fire destroyed the nearby mills necessary to make the finish work financially viable, or a competing company bought them and let them sit idle to keep prices high. Such was the case with the Vermont Marble Company of Proctor, which by the 1870's owned several of the most prominent of Brandon's quarries.
My favorite quarries are the ones just past the intersection between High Street and Franklin Street (Route 7) behind the American Legion—ironically, just north of where the current quarrying is taking place. Unlike most of Brandon's quarries, which lie far afield from major roads, these two quarries were the last to be actively worked in Brandon, until they finally closed in 1937. It is amazing to look at their relatively small size and consider the sheer effort of human labor, as well as that of the horses, to extract and transport the marble to be finished.
For more than 100 years, Brandonites performed the backbreaking labor of working the quarries. In the mid-1860s, a man received a dollar and a quarter for an 11-hour day. Meanwhile, quarry owners poured their profits into both expanding their businesses and their houses. #45 Park Street, originally built in the 1830s in the Greek Revival style so prevalent at that time, was later owned by local quarry magnate David Griffith in the 1880's. He added on features like an Italianate porch. Another house on Franklin Street features a beautiful marble fountain that was installed some time after the original house was built in the adjoining lot. Now, when I sit in traffic waiting for the road crews to allow my lane of traffic through, it take me back to the last of Brandon's gritty, glory days as a marble town — to the beauty and wealth that it added, to the workingmen's lives it sustained, and to the fossil clues of the town's architectural and industrial past to be admired and wondered about.

Notes and memories of music-making with Martyn Bennett, compiled and arranged by Margaret Bennett.
"[From the preamble to the book] ... This is by no means an attempt to write a life story, but merely to record a few anecdotes shared by some of the folk who have been part of Martyn's world of music-making. While a number of them arrived by letter or email, most were recorded in conversations. They're simply put together for the enjoyment of those who knew Martyn, his music, his sense of humour, delight in the ridiculous, his intense perception, profound sensitivity and his warm compassion."
--Margaret Bennett
All proceeds from this warm, often witty, often moving and often profound book go to Bethesda Hospice.
