Shalimar Gardens In Kashmir
Built by Emperor Jehangir for his wife Nur Jehan, Shalimar, 15 kms from the TRC, is a beautiful garden with sweeping vistas over gardens and lakes, and shallow terraces. The garden is 539 m by 182 m and has four terraces, rising one above the other. A canal lined with polished stones and supplied with water from Harwan runs through the middle of the garden. The fourth terrace, by far the best, was once reserved for royal ladies
The Shalimar Gardens is an example of Mughal gardens built by the Mughal emperor, Jahangir, in the lake city of Srinagar, which is the summer capital of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was built specially for his beloved and talented wife, Mehrunissa, titled Nur Jahan.
The gardens comprise four terraces, containing a canal supplied with water from the Harwan gardens nearby.The top garden, unseen from below, was reserved for the ladies of the court.The garden is considered to be very beautiful during the Autumn and Spring seasons due to the colour change in leaves and the blooming of flowers.
Covering an area of approximately 539 m by 182 m, the Shalimar garden offers an amazing view over the other gardens, lakes and shallow terraces. Also known as the "garden of love", the Shalimar Mughal Gardens has four terraces, rising one above the other. The fourth terrace of the garden was, at one point of time, reserved for royal ladies. There is also a canal lined with polished stones running through the center of the Shalimar Bagh. The canal is responsible for supplying water to the garden from Harwan

Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update
I have a lot of thoughts about this book. I was worried that it would be a doom and gloom type affair, but it turns out that it was quite inspiring. Sure, it was hard to read in an "Oh God, we're screwed because nobody is going to listen" kind of way, but I think the culture of the US is slowly (maybe too slowly) shifting toward realizing that we need to be more sustainable, which is slightly encouraging.

A Whistler catering company has won a prestigious national award.
Hilarie and Grant Cousar, owners of Whistler Cooks Catering took home the "Best Event Caterer" Award at the Canadian Special Events National Awards Gala in Toronto last weekend.
The award was in recognition of the work Whistler Cooks did for the 2010 Olympic Games held in Whistler and Vancouver last February.
"Catering for the 2010 (Olympic) and Paralympic Games was in itself such an unbelievable opportunity and honour; to be recognized as the best catered event in Canada goes a long way and will be shared with the many team members and local partners that made the event so memorable," said Hilarie Cousar.
"Hopefully this will give increased exposure for Whistler and Cultural Tourism; this is an award the entire community of Whistler can be proud of."
Whistler Cooks is the largest off-site caterer in the Sea to Sky region not only specializing in sport events but in fine dining, corporate and social affairs.
It was contracted to provide the catering services during the Olympic and Paralympic period at three Olympic venues - The Whistler Sliding Centre, Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Celebration Plaza.

The Sox are (mercifully) off today as they travel back home after Wednesday's marathon finale in Oakland. So this seems as good a time as any to take a look around the Sox minor leagues and check in on some of the top prospects and anyone else who is off to a solid start for the Sox affiliates.
AAA Charlotte Knights
The Sox top farm team doesn't have as many of the big named prospects as it had last season, but there are still some names to keep an eye on here. The obvious one is Michael Kopech, the Sox top pitching prospect, who will likely see the big leagues sometime this year.
Kopech is scheduled to take the ball Friday night when the Knights play in Indianapolis. He has made two starts this season, tossing a total of 10 innings while allowing one run on seven hits with four walks and 11 strikeouts. He has thrown 66% of his pitches for strikes so far. Kopech will likely continue to work on his changeup while down at AAA, but if he keeps mowing down the opposition, his time with the big club could come sooner rather than later.
Outside of Kopech there aren't a lot of pitching prospects at Charlotte, but there are some bullpen names to keep an eye one, especially considering the pen's performance thus far. Jeanmar Gomez has tossed seven innings allowing just one unearned run while striking out six and walking one. Xavier Cedeno has allowed one run on two hits in 5.1 innings with seven strikeouts and hasn't walked a batter.
Some of the position players at Charlotte to keep an eye on are off to a slow start. Casey Gillaspie is hitting just .200 with no extra base hits and 20 strikeouts in 45 at bats. Charlie Tilson is hitting .216 with four doubles and three stolen bases.
Catcher Kevan Smith has just rejoined the team after being hurt in spring training and his off to a nice start going 4-for-9 (.444) with a double and two RBI. Outfielder Daniel Palka has been the Knights best hitter so far, slashing .292/.382/.500 with three homers.
AA Birmingham Barons
Perhaps the most notable name at Birmingham is also the one off to the toughest start. Catcher Zack Collins, the Sox top pick in the 2016 draft, is hitting just .071 (2-for-28) to start the season. However, he has walked 10 times, the most on the team, to keep his OBP at .308 despite the terrible batting average. One of his two hits was a home run so at least he made it count.
The other catcher on the roster, Seby Zavala, is off to a great start. Zavala is slashing .353/.467/.618 with a couple of homers already. Third baseman Trey Michalczewski is also off to a good start hitting .306 with three doubles.
The good news for the fans in Birmingham is that top Sox prospect Eloy Jimenez is set to return from his spring training injury and join the club.
On the mound Ian Clarkin is 2-0 with a 0.73 ERA having allowed one run on 9 hits over 12.1 innings. He has struck out eight while walking only two batters.
Jordan Guerrero will take the ball tonight for the Barons. His first two starts have been solid, as he has allowed three runs over nine innings with eight strikeouts and two walks. He has thrown 68.5% of his pitches for strikes.
A+ Winston Salem Dash
Now here is a team that has been, and probably will continue to be, very fun to watch. Several of the Sox top prospects are already playing in Winston Salem, and they will likely be the first to get to watch Cuban phenom Luis Robert when he returns from injury as well.
Let's start at the plate where the Dash have eight players hitting .289 or higher. Leading the way is the reigning Carolina League Player of the Week Micker Adolfo. The 21-year-old from the Dominican Republic is slashing .364/.417/.582 with two homers and six doubles.
Right behind him is Blake Rutherford, who is off to a .357/.404/.524 start with seven doubles. Joining them in the outfield is Luis Basabe who is hitting .353 with two homers, two triples, and four doubles. Outfielder Joel Booker is also off to a hot start, and all four of them have an OPS of .911 or better. It is certainly a crowded outfield in Winston Salem, and as we noted, Robert isn't even there yet.
On the mound the two big names to watch are Dane Dunning and Dylan Cease. Dunning's first two starts were incredible, allowing just one run on five hits over 11.1 innings while striking out 16 and walking just two. His last time out he was roughed up a little allowing four runs on eight hits in six innings, but he didn't walk a batter and struck out seven more. His K/BB ratio currently 11.5 and his WHIP is 0.865, so he's probably the next in line for promotion if he can keep this up.
Dylan Cease has also been good, although not quite as good as Dunning. Cease has allowed six earned runs on nine hits over 15.2 innings with 18 strikeouts and six walks. He's throwing strikes on a little over 62% of his pitches, and has had some tough luck behind him defensively that have derailed some innings and driven up his pitch count. Still, a sub 1.00 WHIP and a three-to-one strikeout to walk ratio is pretty good.
A Kannapolis Intimidators
Not as many names to watch here as in some of the other places but there are certainly some guys off to a nice start in Kannapolis. Second baseman Tate Blackman is hitting .306 with three homers and a couple doubles. Although he has also struck out 18 times while only walking once.
On the hill John Parke is off to a great start having allowed only one run on five hits in his first two starts. He has 12 strikeouts in 12 innings and is yet to walk a batter.
Kade McClure is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA through three starts with 20 strikeouts against six walks in 17.1 innings.
So that's the roundup for now. Obviously the return of Eloy Jimenez is big news as he will look to pick up where he finished last season and that was by crushing AA pitching for the Barons. But the hot starts for the trio of Adolfo, Rutherford, and Basabe at Winston Salem is another great sign. The Sox have a ton of outfield depth in the minors, and that will really help them out in a few years.

We recover what you can't replace.
Studio City, Calif (PRWEB) May 31, 2016
$300 Data Recovery, the number one rated data recovery company based on customer reviews, has announced a $50 discount on its services to anyone affected by the wildfires in the Canadian municipality of Fort McMurray in Alberta.
"As people return to their homes they may not realize that it's often possible to recover data from hard drives damaged by different factors related to natural disasters like heat, moisture, or impact," said owner and founder Brian Cometa.
The Canadian has government announced that a portion of the 80,000 evacuees may begin returning to their homes starting on June 1, weather permitting. Some may find that their single hard drives or RAID systems have damaged by heat, impact, fire, water, or power surges related to the wildfire. All are eligible for the discount.
Cometa explained that, as a rule of thumb, do not power on or tamper with a damaged hard drive; it could make the data more difficult or impossible to recover. "If a hard drive has been damaged by smoke or fire, don't try to clean it," Cometa said. "And if it has gotten wet during firefighting don't dry it off. Put it in a sealable, airtight plastic bag."
$300 Data Recovery can help victims of the fire learn whether or not their data is likely to be recovered before mailing in their hard drive with an online Chances Form. Prices are clearly stated and they can call (323) 230-0622 if they don't have Internet access yet.
The company places a high value on pricing transparency. Few data recovery companies explicitly listed the cost of their services when Cometa founded $300 Data Recovery in 2007-- so he took his business in a different direction. There is no diagnostic fee and no charge if his team cannot retrieve a customer's data.
"I felt like other companies took advantage of stressful situations people are in when their hard drives don't work," he explained. "They'll reveal additional fees after the work is done and many don't list the cost of their work at all—you have to send them your hard drive and wait for an emailed cost estimate. Then they might only provide a range of prices (e.g. $1200-$2500). With us, there are no surprises and we'll keep you informed of our progress every step of the way."

had to write a poem about love and hate. I tried to mix it all into a dark ball of wax.
here goes:
a murderous love
"Tell me a story", she said looking into his eyes
I have become my story he replied.
Looking into the dark pools of his eyes she found wonder
Fascinating turns of tricks from spirits long gone
She closed her eyes to the dark heavily recessed night
In the background she felt hands slowly holding her
Warmth in drowning.
I will never let you go he said
With a slight smile that she never saw he lifted her into the water.
I will never let you go

Libya leader: Embassy attack unrelated to Islam video
'They chose this date, 11th of September to carry a certain message'
(Israel National News) The anti-Islam film that is being used as an excuse for violent protests in many countries had "nothing to do with" a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi earlier this month, Libya's leader told NBC News.
This assertion flies in the face of the view expressed by President Barack Obama, that the attack was part of a reaction to "The Innocence of Muslims" video. Obama hinted at this view again Wednesday in his speech at the UN General Assembly.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News' Ann Curry, Mohammed Magariaf – who is president of Libya's National Assembly and de facto leader – noted that the assault happened on Sept. 11 and that the video had been available for months before that.
"Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September," he said. "They chose this date, 11th of September to carry a certain message."

I've been having email contact with the Poor Clare Colletine Community lately, whom I spent almost twenty years growing up next to in North Wales. I initially emailed them because I visited their Convent earlier this year when I was home to see Mum in the nursing home, and the experience affected me deeply; it was very healing. It's been lovely to have the contact with them, and keep up my connection with St Clare and St Francis, and feel there are presences and people out there who are praying for Mum, for all my family really. It makes holding the hugeness of our situation easier to bear.
Today, they sent me some pictures, which was touching, and I've included them in this post as it was St Clare's Day on Saturday.
Here is the dormitory where she lived and died.
And here's a picture of Mum before her last stroke, opening presents on her 69th birthday. I haven't been able to look at photos of her for a while now, it's been a bit too much to take. So it's good to look again, and see her in all her loveliness and with her hair in plaits.

At Sloan's Automotive, we understand the terror that comes with the words "transmission repair" and we want you to know that there is hope after all. Whether manual or automatic, heavy duty or low range, the transmission is a vital part at the center of your vehicle's drivetrain. Your transmission is instrumental in turning the engine's power into forward movement, so it's not surprising that problems with this important component can cripple your car. The experts at Sloan's Automotive have years of experience working on transmissions of all types and sizes. When everything grinds to a halt we have the skills to get you moving forward once more.
One of the easiest ways to avoid a large transmission repair bill is to flush the fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer's guidelines. Your transmission contains a lot of intricate moving parts which can deteriorate quickly if not properly lubricated. Sloan's Automotive's technicians can take a sample of your transmission fluid and determine how long it will be before it's time to renew. When that time comes, we can have you in and out of the shop quickly.
Sometimes our technicians don't get to look at the problem until after something has gone wrong. While this is certainly more serious than a simple transmission fluid change, it doesn't have to spell disaster. At Sloan's Automotive, our expert technicians can carefully disassemble your transmission, identify any faults, and determine whether repairs can be made or not. We utilize an extensive network of parts suppliers, manufacturer knowledge, and expert repair skills to get your transmission repaired, and your vehicle back on the roads of Orlando, FL.
At its most basic, your car's clutch allows the engine and gearbox to engage and disengage from each other between gear changes. This means that although the engine's output shaft is still spinning, there is no load on the gears which may cause them to shift improperly. Once the next gear is smoothly selected your clutch will re-engage the engine and gearbox, resuming forward momentum. Over time, and especially in improperly operated manual transmission vehicles, the clutch can become worn and less effective at its job. A damaged clutch can allow the engine and gearbox to re-engage mid-gear change, and this can have serious effects on the health of your transmission. Sloan's Automotive determines the health of your clutch through diagnostic testing as well as test driving. As with a transmission fluid flush, we'll have your car back on the road and your peace of mind stretching for miles.
Another area of our gear-based expertise is your car's differentials. These sit in the middle of your car's axles between the wheels and are vital for a smooth ride. As you turn a corner, the outside wheel has to travel a greater distance than the inside wheel. Without properly functioning differentials, the wheels would turn at the same rate causing your car to vibrate horribly, and struggle to turn whenever you tried to go around a corner. When it comes to examining, diagnosing, and fixing faulty differentials, our experience with transmissions makes Sloan's Automotive the best place to go in Orlando, FL.
Avoid transmission disaster by coming in and having your transmission, clutch, and differentials checked out today. Call us at 407-228-7889 or visit us in Orlando, FL so we can schedule an appointment to ensure your car is in tip-top shape!
Our competitively priced transmission services include:
Automatic Transmission
Automatic Transmissions shift between gears automatically to optimize driving, and changes gears based on the driver's throttle pedal, vehicle speed, engine speed, and vehicle load. Typical automatic transmissions have 4-5 forward gear ratios, a Reverse, Park, and Neutral gear. Shifting gears occur automatically once the car is in Drive and there is no need for a clutch pedal or gear shift like there is in a Manual Transmission. Automatic transmission repair is complicated based on all the components that make it up, and you need to have any automatic transmission issues properly assessed by auto mechanics. Call 407-228-7889 to talk to the mechanics of Sloan's Automotive about your transmission problems.
There are clutches in both automatic and manual transmission cars, and different types of clutches. When shifting gears, the clutch engages and disengages from the flywheel and transfers the torque through the transmission. Clutches should help your vehicle start and shift gears smoothly. The clutch in your car receives a lot of wear and can eventually wear out. If your clutch begins slipping irregularly or is making noises that are raising suspicion, contact Sloan's Automotive to see if clutch replacement is necessary.
Four-Wheel Drive Transmission
A four-wheel (4x4) drive vehicle has differential gears, both front and rear axles, and a transfer case attached to the transmission. Four-wheel drive vehicles demand maintenance on the transfer case, front differentials, rear differentials, and transmission fluids. Visit us on 1703 E Michigan St for service on your four-wheel drive transmission services.
Front-Wheel Drive Transmission
If your vehicle has Front-wheel drive, the engine drives the front wheels only. The power is routed through the transmission to the final drive where it is split and sent to the two front wheels through the drive axles. The engine, transmission, and additional hardware is all located in the front of the car. If you are in need, Sloan's Automotive of Orlando, FL will gladly repair front-wheel drive transmission vehicles.
Manual Transmission
Driving a vehicle with a Manual Transmission requires using the clutch pedal and gear shift to manually shift gears based on the speed of the vehicle. Manual transmissions have been built with anywhere from two to eight gears. Front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are the two main configurations for manual transmissions. Typically, manual transmissions require less maintenance then automatic transmissions. At Sloan's Automotive, our auto mechanics can diagnose your vehicle and then recommend the transmission repair or transmission service you need to ensure safety and improve the lifetime of your vehicle.
In motor vehicles, the transmission usually refers to the gear box, which uses gears and gear trains to transmit speed and tourque from a rotating power source to another device. You can have your car's transmission replaced with a new, rebuilt, remanufactured, repaired or used transmission. For more information contact Sloan's Automotive in Orlando, FL. Our experienced service technicians can help you make the best decision for your vehicle and your wallet.
Service, Diagnose and Repair
Transmission repair is not something to take lightly. The transmission is connected to key parts of your vehicle and needs to be working properly for your safety. Transmission services include replacing filters and draining fluids to prevent transmission damage. Typical transmission issues that may lead to repair may include shifting issues, slipping, stalling, fluid leaking, and the service light turning on. If you are concerned that you may need transmission repair, don't hesitate to schedule an appointment at Sloan's Automotive today.
Transfer Cases
A transfer case is a part of a four wheel drive system found in four wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles. This can be done with a set of gears, but the majority of transfer cases manufactured today are chain driven. The transfer case is connected to the transmission and also to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts.Trust the automotive experts at Sloan's Automotive for all your transmission repairs.
My entire family has been HUGE fans for the better part of 20 years! Great service and people! Highly recommend!!!!!
Always honest and friendly. Quality work and great results! Would recommend to everyone.
Always friendly, knowledgeable, and fair. Best service in town. I LOVE that they give back to the community.
I love these guys! They take care of you and always have smiles on their faces. The expertise of their work, the timeliness of the work done and the trust is important to me and they accomplish all of that. Thanks to Kenny, Will, Jim and Terry and those whose names I don't know but do an awesome job!
The work needed is presented with upfront and honest information. They diagnosed issues specific to the problems I went in for, nothing more. Also seems like a trusted neighborhood resource for a lot of DIYers who couldn't complete work in their driveway. Trustworthy.
Excellent service. I was calling for an inspection on a vehicle 2000 miles away. It?s a first car for my son and they made me comfortable that everything was in good working order and a safe vehicle. Kind good people- highly recommended!
I came here to Sloan's to get my car looked at. I'm beyond impressed! Will, the gentleman who was at the counter treated me with the greatest costumer service. He was friendly, knowledgeable and funny! Their bathroom was unbelievably clean and smelled great! Very woman friendly! I recommend Sloan's to everyone needing their car fixed!
I have been using these guys now for almost 10 years. Just when you think they have done their best for you they step it up again. On the way to sell my van it breaks down. the sale hangs in the balance. Call Kenny and in 6 hours its towed repaired and ready to go. He stayed late on his time to fix it. Where you going get that service? Nowhere but here. Thank you guys. Can't say enough. My Shop for auto repair. 10+.
Great service, honest and do a great job communicating with you on progress of your vehicle. I like getting a copy of the diagnostic sent to me through text via a link.
Great place to get a car serviced. The office area was nice and welcoming. Every encounter I had with an employee was a great experience. Honest and reliable work. I really appreciate their hospitality.
The shop is always clean, Prices are reasonable, Staff is always pleasant -- would highly recommend!
Always honest and prices are fair. They quickly fixed an A/C issue that two other garages and the dealer couldn't figure out. They get all my work and my referrals.
Fair, transparent, friendly, efficient, accommodating. All words not commonly associated with mechanics, Sloan's embodies them. It's always a pleasure to see Jim, and this shop is always busy (a good sign)! Last time I went for a diagnostic and oil change, I grabbed a bite next door at the Fillin' station. Done in an hour.
Friendly, helpful & reasonably priced. I would recommend to family, friends & associates.
Very honest and trustworthy. Was upfront about a potentially costly repair, but when an easier route worked out, they let me know and I ended up with a much cheaper option. Very happy with their service and communication. I'd use these mechanics again in a heartbeat.
Professional and certified. Quality shop to take your vehicle to, especially if you plan to keep it long term. They assess problems especially well and discuss all solutions with you ahead of time. Highly recommend!
Excellent Service! Very Reliable & Knowledgeable Team! Will recommend Sloan's Automotive to ALL my family and friends! Thank you :)
First time customer with an immediate and unscheduled vehicle problem. I initially chatted online with Sloan?s, and from then on received excellent treatment, clear communication, and successful repairs were completed by COB the following day. Diagnosis was first sent to me via email, with a follow up call. Necessary work was identified, with other less critical issues deferred for another day. At checkout, the charges were exactly as specified in the initial conversation, and the vehicle has performed very well since. Sloan?s earned more business from my four-car family with this engagement.
Highly recommended! Responsible, honest people and high quality service, I can safely say you will not be let down. If Kenny or Jim or anyone at Sloan's sees this please give a big hug to Ann from Raquel and me! We're in New Orleans now and the car has had no issues at all. Thanks to all the team!
My entire family has been HUGE fans for the better part of 20 years! Great service and people! Highly recommend!!!!!

Finally people are speaking up about this crap! Unbelievable what manufactures are getting away with. FYI there was class action lawsuit settled out of court brought on by consumers of ink.
I have heard an alleged $8,000 a gallon, that's a heck of a price to pay for the pleasure of holding a piece of paper. And that's before we consider the costs associated with manufacturing the cartridges
nice blog….Robin,What are Compatible Ink Cartridges?
$20,000 per gallon but it illustrates a good point. A lot of consumers are finally catching on to this and are demanding some better alternatives. To get the most bang-for-your-buck, it's best to go for a continuous ink supply system (aka: bulk ink) that works with your printer. But beware of the low quality CISs made in China.
Highway robbery is an BIG understatement. I've been seeing more and more OEM pushback from companies providing compatible cartridges or bulk refill systems.
They won't give up either, it's too lucrative of a market.
Printer ink is consumer fraud, pure and simple.
Congressional and Justice Dept action is demanded to end this scam.
That, is all there is to this crime.

HUMMING A SICKENING TUNE shall encompass a track by track review of the complete recorded works of THE RAMONES, giving consideration to each song's composition, recording and place in the overall arc of the band's career.
Sunday, August 25, 2013
YOU'RE GONNA KILL THAT GIRL-- Leave Home 13
One of LEAVE HOME's bigger disappointments, YOU'RE GONNA KILL THAT GIRL had been an early demo (see THE RAMONES' OTHER DEBUT ALBUM ) strong enough to trigger an offer from SIRE records for a single deal-- an offer the RAMONES refused, hoping to hold out for a contract for a complete album. This tactic more or less ended up proving effective, but when time came to finally record the tune for the second long player, the weakly mixed results proved underwhelming enough to have the track nixed as a possible 45.
A strikingly knowing exercise in the doowop genre's dominant changes, the obvious commercial potential of this throwback rocker makes, in retrospect, the piqued interest of their eventual record company unsurprising. Even in demo form, with JOHNNY not quite yet on top of the varying dynamic of the verse/chorus segue, the infectious appeal of the oldie style composition was clearly apparent. The final failure of the LEAVE HOME attempt to fulfill the detectable promise of the original recording remains one of the lp's deepest puzzles.
Commencing with a conceptually sound but somewhat rushed DION & the BELMONTS-style introductory section, the band surges into a chorus and bridge modified to their pulverizing approach, but adhering stringently to the idiom's standard melodies. Once the song proper begins, however, the deficiencies of the production's balance become clear. Perhaps by design (especially if the song was still under consideration as a single), the overall mix seems less brash and heavy than the remainder of the album. The churn of the guitars and bass feels less ferocious, the background singing is insufficiently rousing, and the recurrent problems of the drums being too low in volume and the lead vocals being too high reach an apex of intensity here. Though the performances are primarily more than adequate (and the charms of the number undeniable), the entire effort ends up feeling rather emasculated. (Shortly, an impassioned, dazzling concert performance of the song on IT'S ALIVE would finally allow YOU'RE GONNA KILL THAT GIRL to ascend to its conceived heights.)
Certainly JOEY, who wields the required teen tragedy-style pathos (and seems unfazed by the near-satirical, sick cliche extreme of the lyric) carries through with admirable fervor. But although hardly disastrous, any minimal consideration of this composition's competing versions reveals the sting of wasted opportunity that hangs over this misfire of what shall become one of their most under-regarded early classics. In the end, the best that can be said is how well YOU'RE GONNA KILL THAT GIRL displays the RAMONES' concrete grasp of Rock 'n' Roll's fundamental foundations, and how effortlessly (even unconsciously?) they could be manifested if required-- despite deceptive efforts to affect an 'unschooled' aesthetic.

COMMANDO-- Leave Home 12
This deceptively contradictory rocker pitted two already prevalent thematic terrains into an anthem so absurd as to border on dadaist. JOHNNY's patriotic militarisms clash head on with the Germanic obsessions of DEEDEE's youth, resulting in a concoction which finally defies conventional consideration. (The undercurrent of Naziism suggested by, for instance, the line pertaining to culinary orthodoxy, seems at odds with the then still-current reference to the Vietnam conflict, despite the trooper's stated willingness to travel as far as both countries' capitals.) The unimaginative machismo of the verses is turned inside out by a bizarre chorus cataloguing a numbered list of personal 'rules,' one of the band's most memorable lyrical conceptual gimmicks. Nonsensically, adherence to the law of 'der Vaterland' is equated with the importance of a kosher diet, the appeal of capitalist separatism, and (undercutting the warmongering combativeness of the song most definitively) an infantile, reverential respect for 'mommy.' Fortunately, the vocals are so hilariously powerful, and the melody's blistering arrangement so irresistibly performed that the ludicrous turns taken end up seeming completely moot. In fact, the relentless force of the song feels totally fitting to the paramiltary singlemindedness of the dubious narrative's improbable mercenary protagonist.
Musically, the stunningly primitive creation is simplistic (yet, versatile) even by the RAMONES' early standards. (Years later, as the band became grew determined to nostalgically recapture their primal strengths, they would often to revert to raw, two part verse/chorus bashers such as this.) Indeed, the heavy verse riff, which alternates between two keys, would soon be retooled for GO MENTAL on ROAD TO RUIN. As well, the four chord chorus melody would be unapologetically recycled in the next decade on ANIMAL BOY as the primary core of APEMAN HOP.
TOMMY achieves a dense, dark mix which perfectly matches the band's merciless pulse. An impatient DEEDEE starts thumping his bass even before the introductory count is completed, a pulverizing performance by JOHNNY sounds more like an army of guitars instead of just one, and TOMMY's switch to a half time cymbal count for the verses (quickly becoming a common tactic as the RAMONES' music grew steadily faster overall) is confidently seamless. But despite the personal resonance probable throughout the lyrics for DEEDEE (whose father, after all, was a career military man that stationed his family in battered Berlin, and was certainly not above dominating his family with cruelly martial doctrines), the major triumph finally belongs to JOEY, who remarkably wraps his pipes around a guerilla goon persona, charging through the chorus' imperious proclamations, and flinching not an inch at the jibes towards the jewish which permeate the track. (At least there can be little doubt that his mother Charlotte Lesher received the 'nicest' treatment, as she initially allowed the embryonic group to have their first practices in the back storeroom of her art gallery.) Whatever the debatable political correctness of the thematically wobbly compositional end result, the transformation of the gangly lead singer into a fearsome soldier of fortune (even for humour's sake) is emblematic of the culture of reinvention so firmly at the heart of the burgeoning punk movement's individualism-- as it had existed, truthfully, throughout the story of Rock 'n' Roll.

RAMONES: TOP TEN '1-2-3-4's! -- List #7
The RAMONES often insisted that they almost immediately resorted to a shouted 1-2-3-4 start to their songs due to an inability to master the 'silent count.' Soon, however, the novelty of the oft repeated intro struck their fancy, and they began to relish the relentless recurrence of the gimmick. Quickly, the retooled weakness morphed into one of their most beloved, identifiable eccentricities.
In a long career where this device would be wielded endlessly (but perhaps less often on their albums than one might think--see Postscript), there would be presented inevitable opportunity to pick a few favorites. And indeed inevitability is the keyword, for as surely as a RAMONES classic became as likely to follow 1-2-3-4 as the number five, the band themselves represented what in retrospect seems an unavoidable step in the progression of Rock 'n' Roll's history. So without further ado, a tribute to the numerological quartet that is the mathematical key to the heart of the RAMONES' sound.
In chronological order. Naturally.
Straight out of the gate the RAMONES unapologetically and unaffectedly kick off one of their earliest efforts with their soon to be trademark. Even at this embryonic stage, DEEDEE sounds unashamed and ultra-confident. Also noted for the (non-) record: I CAN'T BE, a similarly obscure pre-debut demo, which catalogues an amusing 1-2-3 (cohabitation, procreation and housecleaning.) This denotes a deadly triumvirate of domesticity which should be avoided at all costs.
The early appearance of a 1-2-3-4 triggering the title chant is trumped shortly thereafter by a unique count all the way up to 8, building extra expectation before the heavy middle section riff commences.
A normal 1-2-3-4 opens the debut's classic closer, but in fitting with the Germanic theme DEEDEE sparks the unforgettable coda with a countoff 'auf Deutsch.'
DEEDEE amusingly begins playing his bass even before he completes the opening kickoff, but of course this track's most notable 1-2-3-4 remains the 'rules' militarily mandated by the group. Strict adherence to Der Vaterland, Capitalism, culinary Orthodoxy and maternal reverence all get equal time.
One of the less noted details which helps make this track such an exhilarating thrill is that we enter only upon the last 4 of DEEDEE's opening count, causing a tangible, nervous anticipation for what is to follow.
This track brandishes a childhood nursery rhyme towards its nefariously celebratory devices, utilizing the (literally) odd count of 4-5-6-7 to better accomodate the subnormals' likelihood of rapturous ascendance.
Amidst the bloated production techniques piled upon the END OF THE CENTURY LP by PHIL SPECTOR, the band reassuringly (albeit after a heavy introductory section) blasts into the meat of this track with the standard countoff. Perhaps the album's least galling display of studio muckery, this is the sole appearance of 1-2-3-4 on this release.
This TOO TOUGH TO DIE cornerstone features a hilarious, 'studio verite' exchange between DEEDEE and JOHNNY even before they can get to the countoff.
This rather calculated throwback to the classic early approach from HALFWAY TO SANITY begins with certainly DEEDEE's most confused sounding instigation. Did he begin the 1-2-3-4 backwards?
For their farewell abum, the RAMONES opt to start things off in style, coming full circle with a perfectly mimicked 1-2-3-4 from CJ opening the proceedings.
A good friend of mine in high school once put forth the theory that the quality of any RAMONES album was in exact accordance and proportion to the number of times 1-2-3-4 was uttered. This worked fine for me- my favorite album was (and is) IT'S ALIVE, where the count in some form or another appears 28 times. The theory seemed to fall apart considerably, however, with the decidedly inferior LOCO LIVE, which featured virtually the same tally. (Years later, as their final concert drew nearer, a troubling, insidious detail began to take hold: a gradually growing pause between 4 and the songs' commencement, until there existed almost space enough to utter 5. A sobering indicator of time's passage.)
But what of the studio albums? A surprising amount displayed not even a single 1-2-3-4: PLEASANT DREAMS, BRAIN DRAIN, MONDO BIZARRO, ACID EATERS, plus the undeniably strong ROAD TO RUIN and SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE. The theory felt firmer with the records where it occurred only once: END OF THE CENTURY, ANIMAL BOY and ADIOS AMIGOS. It gets wobbly with the inconsistent HALFWAY TO SANITY, which piles up a much higher count of four. From here though, the rule bears out quite effectively: pretty much five total for each of their first three classic LPs (allowing for oddities such as COMMANDO and CRETIN HOP). And with an undebatable sum of six 1-2-3-4s, the grand nod goes to TOO TOUGH TO DIE, their superlative midperiod comeback.
Maybe Dax was on to something.

CALIFORNIA SUN-- Leave Home 11
The RAMONES had a problem. Although they had performed the oldie CALIFORNIA SUN in their sets from the very beginning, the friendly neighborhood competition (and aesthetic cousins) THE DICTATORS had stolen their thunder by including a version on their 1975 debut album Go Girl Crazy. Not willing to let go of a good thing, they stubbornly trudged ahead with their own reading for LEAVE HOME. This revealed that even if the band might stoop to recording material already notably covered elsewhere (even by their friends), they would at least take care to allow a passage of time long enough so that any possible clash could be nullified- or at least sidestepped. (Their later re-assimilation of CHINESE ROCK would be postponed somewhat more artfully.) If the RAMONES version of CALIFORNIA SUN came a bit too soon after their rivals, they could still arguably lay claim to having arrived at the song first. More importantly, the band undercut a substantial portion of potential controversy by simply producing the superior interpretation.
Originally recorded by R'n'B singer Joe Jones in 1961-- but made famous shortly thereafter in a surf version by the Rivieras-- CALIFORNIA SUN is a song seemingly tailor made to follow-up the RAMONES' debut album cut of LET'S DANCE. Sub-BEACH BOYS, pre-British Invasion cheese, the tune appeared prime for appropriation by the band-- only the anchor guitar figure proved a possible obstacle. Though uncomplicated, the lick can be deceptively difficult to nail (especially if one guitar alone must shoulder the rhythm burden seamlessly as well). Surprisingly, JOHNNY remained willing to buckle down, and for years the sly riff continued to represent his most challenging tidbit in their live performances.
Basically disregarding the DICTATORS' cover, the RAMONES ignore their lyrical adlibs and simply focus on the Rivieras' verses (which, ironically, are altered somewhat from Joe Jones' original) and bare instrumentation. The RAMONES add a unique touch to their arrangement by foregoing the introductory unsung verse (present on all other versions), instead allowing DEEDEE to count off straight into a chorus. This shortens the time elapsed before the vocals begin, and also makes the tribal drum/riff-accompanied verse more intriguing when it finally does arrive.
One of LEAVE HOME's most powerful mixes supports a perfect performance. The drums' toms exhibit fat echo and presence, and the guitars have delicious tone (especially the overdubbed primary riff). JOEY's performance is dead on, and their decision to not mimic the DICTATORS call and response background vocals was a wise one. (They naturally also eschew their numerous lead guitar overdubs, one of the other augmentations which ultimately make the Go Girl Crazy version sound rather bloated in comparison to the RAMONES' minimalist take.)
That the band's aesthetic could retool such an ancient, rinkydink 45 into such a striking, fierce blast of modern rock laid bare something which was not always apparent at the time: The RAMONES represented less of a reactionary recoil to rock and roll progressiveness and more of a natural (even unconscious) inheritance and perpetration of its its true ideals.

WHAT'S YOUR GAME-- Leave Home 10
An extremely early effort from JOEY which had already been demoed in practically identical form (see RAMONES: THE EARLY DEMOS), this sludgy ballad was held off of the debut for later inclusion here. But besides the predictable root key adjustment- a step up from the first attempt- little tangible effort has gone towards its improvement. The undeveloped melody gets some window dressing via some sonically attractive guitar strum overdubs, and the lush background vocals do display some amount of care (the response to the second syllable of 'insane' is undeniably memorable), but the minimal consideration afforded this benchwarmer finally results in perhaps the dreariest track created by the RAMONES' original lineup.
The lyric pertains to a girl's struggles with mental illness, one of their least compelling explorations of this subject. The allusions to 'sweet' Mary Jane already sounded out of date at the time of LEAVE HOME's release, and the subsequent Punk movement's backlash against hippies only amplified this anachronism. (Indeed, although at least two members continued to toke up, the future would hold few, if any, references to marijuana in the group's lyrics-- despite regular mentions of other harder drugs and pharmaceuticals.) Similarly, the protagonist's desire to conform her appearance to those who surround her seemed at odds with the burst of individualism that the New Wave's culture explosion would soon embrace. Also, JOEY's repetitions of 'yeah' at the second chorus' emotional apex ring slightly overwrought and old fashioned, though otherwise he strives to be sincere and convincing with verses which, though underwhelming, in all probability represent a thinly veiled self portrait.
The cannabis code words and reverb drenched vocals do mark this track notably as the RAMONES' first dabbling in psychedelia. Not wielded again until the MARKY era, the middle section of IT'S NOT MY PLACE (IN THE 9 TO 5 WORLD) from PLEASANT DREAMS prefaced the first full fledged plunge into the tripped out realm with TIME HAS COME TODAY on SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE. This would finally culminate on ACID EATERS, a concept record of predominantly LSD era cover versions, and for their final album they would go down to the rabbit hole well one more time with SHE TALKS TO RAINBOWS, a measurably more effective (and weathered) reiteration of WHAT'S YOUR GAME's musical and lyrical ideas.

SWALLOW MY PRIDE-- Leave Home 9
Although superficially displaying the trappings of typical romantic lyrical longing (especially encased in LEAVE HOME's obligatory stab at pure pop), upon closer inspection SWALLOW MY PRIDE is a revelatory self portrait review of the band's (mis)fortunes at the sophomore LP point. There is hardly a single line of lyric which doesn't seem to directly reflect situational resonance for at least one band member. JOEY's unconquerable optimism, TOMMY's displeasure at being taken for granted, JOHNNY's desire for militaristic control, DEEDEE's downbeat impatience-- all manage to get touched upon in the very few lines of lyric, and each mentioned personalty trait was a very short time away from finding full flower.
'Two years' in-- the specific passage of time has relevance-- the RAMONES' career seemed already stalled in a purgatory perched between obscurity and substantial success. The spiritual sons of the STOOGES and NEW YORK DOLLS should have known better than to expect too much too soon, but clearly the tantalizingly tangible next level, within reasonable proximity but insurmountably ungraspable, was beginning to solidify frustrations.
Commercial enough to be released as a 45 after the bizarre, out of nowhere appearance (and subsequent addition) of SHEENA IS A PUNK ROCKER, but undistinguished enough to remain a likely component of the group's live set, SWALLOW MY PRIDE is an appealing exercise around the 1-4-5 in the key of B. (The bridge predictably drops down to Gsharp/Aflat, but a stricter adherence to genre rules probably would have dictated that this should have been a minor chord.) Opening aggressively-- perhaps too aggressively for a potential single?-- then switching to a now-familiar muted 'clicking' guitar verse, the track is potently melodic; especially the soaring choruses. However, problematic minor details detract from the overall knockout. Some lines of verse have a few too many words, forcing odd phrasing from JOEY, and although the background vocals are impressive for the choruses, they are distractedly and less effectively tagged on in other places. The middle section repetition of 'oh yeah's isn't a bad idea, but the heavy echo and reverb only accentuate the thematic inappropriateness of JOEY's bratty delivery. (This section has been almost completely overhauled from the original version appearing on early bootlegs, where British Invasion-style 'come on's are repeated over a standard punk lick.)
Proof of tunesmithing aptitude assumed to be outside their ability, but likely to be underrated next to their early undeniable classics, SWALLOW MY PRIDE remains an effort apt for confused appraisal in the RAMONES' ouvre. It certainly does not match up to either LISTEN TO MY HEART, the debut's grade A pop confection, or the forthcoming LOCKET LOVE, an improvement of similar musical ideas destined to appear on ROCKET TO RUSSIA. Still, it was years before TOMMY would decide against facing another 'winter' with the band, before JOEY's persistent invocations of 'real cool times' would be touched with desperation's tinge, before DEEDEE would be overtaken by the muddle of grimmer looking days, and before JOHNNY's amorous actions would threaten to undermine the 'ship's stability, necessitating a uniform tight-lipped-ness. The song endures as a reassuring snapshot of group solidarity in the face of problems that, for the moment, loomed primarily only as foreshadowing.

text: "Can it sit by the table? I brought something…" Roger, who just walked in, is pointing at the little black nylon shopping bag hanging from his walker. I move the chair a few feet towards the table. With careful shuffling steps, Roger positions himself in front of the chair and slowly folds his tall frame to sit down. Immediately he pulls out a packet of crackers and a small transparent plastic container. He opens his pocket knife and starts spreading a brownish paste on top of crackers. "I will get you a plate." I rush into the kitchen, not far, since we are in the dining room where a sing-along is about to start. I inspect the pile of porcelain plates. It should not be too big, dwarfing the offering, but if it is too small the crackers will fall on the floor. I pick an old fashion white round plate, with a large rim. I help Roger arrange his snacks on it. It looks fine. "Shall I pass it around?" I ask. –Try one." suggests Roger. I cannot refuse. The cracker is dry and salty, but the spread interesting. "Is it chopped liver? –Yes, my daughter brought it. –I like it. Does she make it herself? –Sometimes she does. This one is from a store." How long has it been in his room? I do not remember seeing a fridge in there? We will get sick? I have been working steadily in elders' residential communities, for the last ten years. This is the first time someone has brought a snack to share during a scheduled group. This is sacred. I am not stopping. I present the plate around the circle of residents. "No, thank you." "I am so full from lunch." "Maybe later." The answers are polite but negative. The musician, about to start singing, whispers to me: "Is that safe?" before pronouncing a loud "No, thank you very much." I find this rude. I comment:"Our musician can't eat now. If he was choking on a crumb, it would ruin the whole program." Just before I put the plate back on the table, one woman decides to try a toast. She is appreciative: "Yummy, thanks Roger". I put the plate in front of Roger and take a second. "Thank you, it is so thoughtful of you to have brought a nice snack for all."

I read a piece on the Makurdi Cargo Airport written by one of Benue's great writers, Dr. Terhemba Shija and I found the write-up as a very constructive input. This statement from Dr. Shija, "I have no problem with the Makurdi cargo airport project" set a wonderful tone for a robust discuss.
Dr. Shija, the questions you have raised regarding the cargo airport are well seated and deserving of a response from the Government.
I nonetheless disagree with you that the Benue State Government "…is selling this idea primarily as a political project with apparently no bankable feasibility study report to back it up." The National Civil Aviation Policy 2013 reviewed all sectors of the aviation industry and provided the feasibility study for private sector development of cargo airports in particular and aviation infrastructure in general in Nigeria.
A major part of the Aviation Master plan was (is) the classification of Airports into: (1) Pilgrims Terminals (2)Cargo Terminals (3)International Airports. Between 2012 and 2014, both Price Water House Coopers and IOS Partners, Inc, completed feasibility studies on: (1) Aviation Institution Reforms (2) Infrastructural development (3) Rapid Cargo Airports Development in Nigeria.
The study identified Benue as one of the states good enough to have a cargo airport. The report concluded that the existing passenger airports in the country could not combine the cargo component, hence the need for the establishment of airports to specialise in airlifting of cargo.
Let's now zero the answer to Benue State. After it had carried out its field study, CDC Consortium made a presentation to the government economic team on the feasibility of a cargo airport and its economic viability in Benue State etc. The government team was satisfied with the presentation of the group before the agreement was made.
On your genuine concern about the 25-year concession given the investors, you need not worry so much sir, because the investors have carried out their diligent study of the Benue aviation market particularly as it affects cargo transportation and are confident about the existing prospects.
No Dr. Shija, the Benue State Government has not unjustly taken credit over the cargo airport. The Government has attracted the airport project to Benue and has already provided massive land upon which the airport is to be built. Secondly, the 15% equity contribution, though not to be made now, will be paid later through the profit generated from the airport, so the Benue State Government holds a vital stake in the project as a key business partner.
Dr. Shija, your statement that "…there appears to be a gross lack of preparedness for the arrival of this gigantic project in Benue…" is also not correct sir. The Ortom administration is well prepared for the cargo airport project. Negotiations for the airport began last year. An MOU was signed between the State Government and the investors after the Government Economic Team had met on many occasions with the investors and all the necessary steps were taken. The communities to host the project were then contacted and the land obtained.
Your interesting question "Where do we have the cargo for export" finds answer in these facts: the airport is not billed for completion next week. It is to be completed in 2020. The Samuel Ortom administration is already taking steps to boost mechanised farming in the state and one of the measures is the introduction of the tractor scheme which will enable our farmers to buy and own tractors as well as other farm equipment at (government) subsidized rates. You are aware that the government subsidized fertilizer at 38% for farmers at the commencement of the last cropping season. This will continue. Similarly, dry season farming is being encouraged as the establishment of earth dams is set to commence soon for irrigation.
You may ask 'where is the capital? Simple answer sir. The Ortom administration has attracted a N2 billion loan from CBN for Benue farmers as well as agree with Bank of Industry to jointly table N2 billion for farmers of the state in particular at only 5% interest rate. The State Government has let go of its 5% in the deal so that our farmers can obtain the loans at only 5%. This has never happened in Benue before now.
I expect your next question to be 'where are the roads to link farmers and markets? Great question that will be, if you ask me sir. The Samuel Ortom administration is already doing much in road construction as 11 abandoned roads and two new ones are at various stages of completion while the Bureau for Rural Development and Cooperatives is aggressively rehabilitating and constructing roads in different communities of the state.
Wonderful question from you on the issue of Marketing Boards, Dr Shija. Come next week, the Benue State Executive Council will approve the revamping of the moribund State Marketing Board. You are aware sir, that the move will mark the return of the Commodity Marketing Company Ltd, thus addressing the lingering problem of unsold farm produce in parts of the state.
Though I don't speak for CDC Consortium and may therefore not go deeply into the issue of their identity, permit me to say that the Benue State Government did not give a contract to the Consortium. It would therefore have been out of place to insist that the group displayed a track record of achievements (evidence of past projects they handled) before any agreement would be signed.
Your 5th question goes back to the preceding one. Again, since I do not speak for the Consortium and the administration which I serve also did not give a contract to the group, it will be a harsh judgment if I join you in doubting the credibility of the group and even qualifying their promise as "…what only money doublers can promise or do."
I hope I have attended to your posers Dr. Shija. Remain blessed orvesen wam.

Before Dawn in America
By George Sterling
Slowly the hours beyond the midnight crawl. Far on the frozen night a train goes by. I know there is no starlight in the sky, But that concealing fog is over all, Alike for stars and men a somber pall. Remoter now, a cold, mechanic cry Is signal, and the poplars stir and sigh, As ranks that wait in vain the trumpet's call. Now breaks the day on Belgium and France. Over the shoulder of the world, I know What rubrics gleam on the recording snow (That page of Heaven's book that lay so pure!) As, votive to the race's huge mischance, Men die, O Liberty! that thou endure.

Caravan and Gunbarrel Highway don't normally go in the same sentence, but when you add ZONE RV, it's possible. After conquering Cape York together, ZONE RV Directors Matt Johns and David Biggar got a taste for life on the road and were hungry for their next off-road adventure. In business and in leisure, David and Matt are never shy of a challenge, so it was inevitable the next trip would be harder, longer and dirtier.
In a chance meeting with new ZONE RV customers Reg and Michelle Toohey, it was Reg who convinced David and Matt to take a convoy of ZONE RV caravans with him from the most eastern (Byron Bay) to western points (Steep Point) of Australia. A veteran adventurer who has travelled the world in his old faithful LandCruiser 200 Series, Reg was quickly nicknamed 'Reg the ledge' due to his sheer legendary stories. In his spare time, the retired businessman could be found flying his plane, skipping his boat or cruising in his Bentley. He was just the guy they were looking for to lead them on their next trip.
Matt hitched a ZV-20.6 Venture to his LandCruiser 200 Series, David took a Z-16.6 Off-Road on his LandCruiser 70 Series and Reg towed his brand-new Z-21.6 Off-Road on his LandCruiser 200 Series – three days fresh out of the ZONE RV factory in Coolum Beach, QLD. A support vehicle from ARB Maroochydore was also on hand during the trip.
The trip took an unexpected turn after learning the Plenty Highway was closed due to flooding. Having done the trip from QLD to WA countless times, Reg suggested they go down the Gunbarrel Highway instead. He'd completed it twice before, but never with a caravan. In fact, it'd be safe to say most caravanners wouldn't even dream of taking their caravan down it, let alone a brand new one worth over $126,900. To put it into perspective, it took three hours to drive 13kms in one stretch of the 'road', as the team were stopping every minute to clear the road for the caravans.
But Reg and Michelle weren't concerned, and they had no reason to be, as both off-road caravans made it down the highway unscathed with zero repair needed. Not one bit of dust – in fact Reg said the dirtiest thing to go in his caravan at the end of each day was the dust on his boots. "I'm amazed at how well the vans stood up, and what we did to them…you could take these vans anywhere, she was a ripper!" said Reg. Considering the ZV-20.6 Venture was pushed well beyond its intended use in such conditions, the team were impressed with how well it handled it.
That's not to say there were times on the Gunbarrel Highway when Matt and David were questioning what they hell they were doing there, yet they all agree now it was the highlight of the trip. Particularly one night, when the team set up camp in the middle of the Gunbarrel Highway road, cooked a roast and enjoyed complete isolation and comfort like never before. Amongst the flies, 40-degree heat, flat tyres, endless driving, and strenuous road clearing, it was all worth the adventure when the team could enjoy a nice hot shower, home-style cooked dinner and comfortable bed each night – no matter where they ended up.
They clocked up 6,789kms in 11 days, completing the route from Byron Bay to Steep Point in record time. Watch the full East to West trip on the ZONE RV YouTube Channel at youtube.com.au/zonerv.


text: When yellow fever devastates Philadelphia in 1793, the Cook family and many others succumb to the terrible disease. As Laurie Halse Anderson's novel Fever 1793 opens, sixteen-year-old Mattie Cook has just lost a close friend to the epidemic. Mother wants Mattie to flee the fever's progression, but Mattie instead attempts to keep the family's coffeehouse running with the help of Eliza, a free African American woman. Mother falls ill, and in an effort to protect her family, sends both Mattie and her grandfather away from the city. Mattie too becomes ill but recovers, returning home only to find out that thieves have looted the coffeehouse. She is heartbroken when Grandfather later dies following a brutal attack, but finds another person to worry about when she encounters a child named Nell, orphaned due to the fever's death toll. When Nell, and Eliza's nephews, fall ill, the young girl and her older friend doggedly nurse them back to health. Mother survives, though now a semi-invalid, and Mattie decides, against societal dictations, to run the coffeehouse with Eliza as her partner. Though burdened with painful memories, Mattie ends the novel believing that better days are ahead. The fortitude and determination of Anderson's heroine centers this gripping novel, and the historical context gives the story an authentic edge, making it suitable for middle school readers.

About The Report
The CIUS Research Report No. 65, Ukrainian Literature in English, 1966-1979: An Annotated Bibliography (527 pp.), compiled and edited by Marta Tarnawsky, is the fourth CIUS Press publication of Ms. Tarnawsky's major continuing bibliographic project which attempts, for the first time, a comprehensive coverage of translations from and materials about Ukrainian literature published in English from the earliest known publications to the present. The focus of the Ukrainian Literature in English project is on modern Ukrainian literature, i.e., literature written originally in the Ukrainian language and published since 1798. The detailed annotated bibliographies produced by Ms. Tarnawsky cover the following types of English-language materials: (a) books and pamphlets, both translations and literary studies; (b) articles in journals, encyclopedias, symposia, and other collections; (c) translations of prose, poetry, and drama in journals and anthologies; and (d) book reviews in journals and collections. Extensive general indexes make these bibliographies easy to use and reader-friendly.
The three earlier annotated bibliographies published by the CIUS Press include: Ukrainian Literature in English: Books and Pamphlets, 1890-1965 (RR No. 19, 1988), Ukrainian Literature in English: Articles in Journals and Collections, 1840-1965 (RR No. 51, 1992), and Ukrainian Literature in English: 1980-1989 An Annotated Bibliography (RR No. 62, 1999).
The English-language sources listed and discussed in the present publication, Ukrainian Literature in English, 1966-1979, reflect the complex political climate of that period. On the one hand, they include a large number of Soviet publications testifying to the Communist regime's attempts to control literature and use it for propaganda purposes. On the other hand, numerous materials published in the West reflect a reaction to these pressures and persecutions of writers in the USSR. As a detailed and all-inclusive annotated bibliography of the English-language sources dedicated to Ukrainian literature, the current research report, together with the three earlier volumes, represents an invaluable information resource and guide for scholars, students, and English-language readers interested in Ukrainian literary culture.

Yesterday was Launch Academy's first ever Ship it! Saturday, a day-long hackathon with the goal of creating something of value and launching it. Current and past launchers as well as members of the Ruby community in Boston were in attendance. It was an excellent way to use the skills I'm learning and switching gears for a day to refresh the mind.
For my project I wanted to create an open-sourced tool to improve how people consume information on mobile devices. I browse the web on my iPhone regularly and appreciate responsive design and love seeing fresh approaches to interaction design. I'm particularly interested in single-page interactive designs made possible by JavaScript. Here are some cool examples I've come across lately (compare desktop and mobile device to see what I mean):
- Acumen – A non-profit tackling poverty.
- Website of Leonard Burton – freelance front-end designer and developer
I wanted to try my hand at creating a novel interaction suited for mobile devices using technologies that I've been learning. The system I created consists of animated tabs revealing pages of information that is suitable for a basic profile page or something similar. I used CSS3 animations combined with jQuery to achieve the effects. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages and anyone is welcome to fork it as well as contribute. Check out Tabtastic and let me know what you think.

From Savannah, Georgia, USA:
For a teen who is in evolved in many activities, how many glucagon kits should he/she have? Where should they be kept? Can a doctor write a prescription for more than one kit per patient?
Yes, multiple prescriptions may be written for the glucagon kit. Speak with your diabetes clinician about the best plan for your teen. Check with your insurance about coverage, and pharmacy about cost, as the kits are not cheap, and that may limit the number you decide on. Ideally, you would have one at home and at school. You may have one with coach. Depending on your teen, he/she could carry with his/her other supplies and that would cover the multiple activities you mention.
Make sure you check the package for the storage temperature and keep track of the expiration dates.
And, just a reminder about the importance of having oral carbohydrate available to treat the other more common lows, as they inevitably come up. A glucose gel is great to have on hand.
Here is a good place to review Low Blood Sugar.
