August marks a new beginning at Fort Hays State University -- the start of classes, meeting new people, and finding a new home for many students and faculty.
For much of August and into September, the university will celebrate the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year with Augustfest, a series of events, activities, programs and opportunities designed to welcome and introduce people to campus life.
Students can participate in Tiger Impact Orientation events and student organization meetings and attend a variety of picnics, open houses, comedy and music events sponsored by various groups, student organizations and departments across campus.
The big public event of the 2013 celebration is "Mission IMPROVable" at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16, in the Breach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center hosted by Student Affairs. This show is free and open to the public.
This fast-paced and exciting new form of comedy is a combination of MTV's
"Wild 'N Out" and "Who's Line is it Anyway?" – but there is a bit of a twist. Just like in the old TV series "Mission Impossible," the Chicago actors in Mission IMPROVable pretend to be agents.
The audience members are the co-agents and participate in the theater games or "missions" by yelling out suggestions. The on-the-spot randomness provided by the audience makes each mission truly unique and very often hysterical.
Students can participate in the Big Day Out Service Project hosted by Tigers in Service from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17. Volunteers will meet at 9:30 a.m. in the Memorial Union Sunset Lounge.
Projects include going through donated clothing for women's shelters with Jana's Campaign, writing letters to overseas troops, handing out posters and save-the-date cards for the Christmas tree auction at Hays Area Children's Center, writing letters to children at St. Jude Research Hospital, and yard work for a group home at the Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas.
The Annual Big Creek Mud Run hosted by the FHSU Wellness Center and Hays Medical Center is from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 24. Participants must be 18 years old and sign up by Wednesday, Aug. 21. The fee is $25 to participate. The first wave will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the last wave at 11:30 a.m. Forty participants are allowed per wave.
Steve Buckingham, an American record producer and four-time Grammy winner, will speak on his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement through a creative infusion of music at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29, in the Fort Hays Ballroom in the Memorial Union.
Buckingham started his career as a rhythm and blues singer in Virginia and went on to make hundreds of records from almost every genre of music. In 1978 Buckingham started his producer career with "I Love The Nightlife" by Alicia Bridges. Since, he has produced records for Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Nickel Creek and many more. This event is free and open to the public.
Other public events of Augustfest include FHSU athletic events, the Back-to-School Picnic on the Quad, 4-7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 19, and Christian Challenge sand volleyball at Sonic Drive-in, 7-10 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22.
Freshmen are required to attend four Augusfest events: PlayFair, New Student Orientation, "We Dare You" and floor meetings.

James Craner, Director of Finance, Curver UKHear how Curver UK has transformed their sales forecasting and rolling forecasting process to better understand the profitability of the business, from sales all the way down to operating profit.
View Transcript
My name is James Craner. I'm Finance Director for Curver UK Ltd based in Cornwall. We're a fast-moving consumer goods business making plastic household goods.
I think like most businesses, we were relying on spreadsheets to do our sales forecasting. We were looking at spreadsheets to then do our rolling forecast. One of the things that the business likes us to do, that I think is very important, is understand the profitability of the business from sales all the way down to operating profit by customer, by SKU. We were doing that with spreadsheets—very time consuming to manage. There were errors in the spreadsheets that had to be fixed, and it was just taking too long to crank the handle—to get that re-forecasting every month and convert it into useful data.
I would have the sales director phone me late in the process and say, "Oh James, we've got a promotion with Tesco that is changing, can I change the sales number?" And it was, "Well, we've already started the process, it's going to take too long in order to meet our timescales of reporting those figures out to the rest of the business." We wanted Anaplan to drive that process into the production scheduling system, as well as driving the rolling forecast—and spreadsheets wasn't the right way.
Training and consultancy costs would be less with Anaplan. Anaplan is very intuitive, easy to learn, and it was easier to implement compared to other solutions that we looked at. And also, being a cloud-based, hosted solution, I didn't have to worry about buying, configuring, and maintaining a database and reporting applications either.
It has really transformed what we're doing. Rather than preparing the data, we're now spending more time analyzing the data and are able to make key business decisions to move the business forward. The standard level of support you get from Anaplan is really good. The online support is very quick and effective to help solve small problems. Where Anaplan adds value are obviously with complex model design and planning issues that we had.
But I originally pitched it to the managing director. I estimated that the investment in Anaplan would pay back within a four-month period. In actual fact, looking back, it's probably paid back in about two and a half months, which I think is fantastic. It's delivered everything that we wanted it to do in terms of giving us the immediacy, in terms of forecasting—we're now starting to find other uses for the product as well.
Innovar supported us through the whole presales process, helping us select the right vendor, configuring a solution, defining the training and consultancy programs. More importantly, having a trusted partner makes a big difference to the decision and having worked with a team before at Innovar, I knew they could deliver—and that's one less thing for me to worry about.
We've been using the application for up to 12 months now, and I think it's providing more dashboards to our users, finding more use cases for it, and then extending it to other parts of the group that we're a part of.
Innovation—I think it's such a key part of the Anaplan DNA because almost every quarter there's something new that comes out and there's always something new that we can use.
My name is James Craner, I'm the finance director for Curver UK and our sales forecasting and rolling forecasting process is powered by Anaplan.

Fantastic Photographers!Reviewed on 5/26/2010 Jen K
Brett & Kiri of Pen Carlson photography were amazing and the best decisions I made in planning my wedding. They were professional and fun to work with before, during and after the wedding. They had great suggestions for locations for wedding party photos, were good at managing... Read More the wedding party during the photos and helped the bride and groom have fun without feeling posed for photos. 2 weeks after the wedding they were able to send us a short wedding slideshow set to music that touched a little bit on each part of the day. We were able to share these photos with friends immediately while waiting for them to touch up the entire portfolio. We are still waiting for our full portfolio of photos but from what I have seen so far, they will be stunning. They were amazing and I would definitely recommend them to any bride! Check out their blog- http://www.pencarlsonblog.com/

Let me start by saying the song is quite dope.
Now, I know The Game's name dropping, and jab throwing are perpetually playing Limbo by themselves trying to figure out: "How low can we go this time?"
"The pictures of me and Em, I burned them/ So there ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile/And since there ain't no Proof, I'll never walk through 8 Mile…"
Aside from this being an obvious dart flung at Eminem (who, quite frankly, should maul this man), does he realize that:
A.) Burning pictures is kind of a stalker/"dateless prom" thing to do on a record, B.) he just damn near disowned a whole city, and C.) one should never piggyback a deceased MC in a negative context? Respect for the dead, sir?
Aside from that, the song is flames. Peep it.

Hi there. Im tryin to solve this one, I know that if I find the way to get one more vertex i'd have it solved.
The point A(-1,8) is the vertex of a rhombus which minor diagonal is situated on the line L:
, . Get the coordinates of the rest of the vertex knowing that the rhombus area is 30.
Well, I haven't done too much. Actually I did some, but then I realized that I had confused something, cause I got the line L' where would be located the major D, but I've used for it the point A, and then I was trying to get the point of intersection between L and L', so then I doubled it, and I was going to get my second vertex, but then I realized that it was wrong, cause I couln't use point A, cause A don't belongs to L', it belongs to L, so...
So, I don't know much about L', but that its perpendicular to L.

Screaming in the quiet night
Wes Snelling is all flash with his group Trash.
Picture: JOE ARMAO
IT IS 1 o'clock on Friday morning but while Melbourne sleeps, its Fringe is burning.
Artists from past festivals are catching up with collaborators, drinks are going down like it's New Year's Eve, and a man in a Priscilla-like feathered head-dress is displaying his fabulousness accompanied by two blonde dancers in sparkling split-leg red dresses and torn fish-nets.
In the middle, Fringe Festival creative producer Elena Vereker is hugging performers and friends as they wind down together from a boundary-pushing night on the street level of Melbourne's arts scene.
"All the creative power. It all comes from right here," she says, her arm sweeping to take in the diversity of the festival's club.
"Ninety-five per cent of our acts come from here (Melbourne)," she says. "This is where it's at."
Rewind: 5.30pm, Thursday. As commuters shuffle into Flinders Street Station, a crowd is gathered in Federation Square around Human Momentum, a bamboo perplexity of swings and seesaws.
Children squeal as the "workers" invite them in to play. The festival's work experience kid yanks on a rope, as the push of the swings powers pumps that drive water out of tanks and down the bamboo pipes.
The highly exposed location is part of a plan to bring the public closer to the Fringe. "You find mostly it's about cracking the stigma of arts," Vereker says. "But if you can just get the door open it's cracked."
Around the corner is a white shipping container. One half is a box office and information centre, the other disconcertingly like a Fitzroy share-house living room: shag carpet, brown leather cushions and an all-consuming desire to not get off the couch.
Vereker may be putting in 19-hour days during the festival, but it's not showing as she leaps out of the seat and we motor to the main hub of the festival, North Melbourne. The city's Town Hall and the nearby Lithuanian Club have been given over to shows and we slip into A Minor Dilemma, where performer Justin McGinley, skipping about like a talkative Mr Bean, is preparing for a hot date. Between using a hair dryer to cook eggs, spinning his hat off his head a la a Michael Jackson video and a studying a motivational tape on flirting it doesn't end well.
Now we're outside, in a laneway behind the Town Hall. Metres ahead a body, covered in newspaper and rubbish, cavorts on the ground. We're ushered closer, then enclosed behind a cyclone wire fence as the performers rise from the filth and begin a monosyllabic babble. They pull puppets from their pants, and dance with violent glee as a disconcerting soundscape is broadcast. Finally, a puppet constructed from scrunched newspaper is walked down the lane. It stands 2½ metres tall and rages, before slumping to the ground and being burnt to warm the performers who then crawl into wheelie-bins and have the lids slammed shut on them. This is The Human Layer, and it would be horribly depressing if it wasn't for the soaring chords from Voices of Hope, a gospel choir whose sound bleeds from the hall above.
Twelve singers line the stage in black-and-whites, unaccompanied, thundering out with feverish emotion.
"(They're) songs that just drop into your soul," one said in explanation, before launching back into chorus.
Next door, in Czech House, Russell Fletcher is performing his Tribute to Danny Kaye and acting like the lost bastard child of the famed entertainer.
Vereker, 32, grew up in Ringwood and began her career as an actor. She's now part of the small team that co-ordinates the 237 acts and feels like a "custodian" of the Fringe's 22-year legacy. Soon she'll get her two days' worth of sleep a post-festival tradition before continuing to raise more than $700,000 by filing up to 120 grant applications a year. The work is appreciated. Last year one artist wrote in chalk across the front of the festival's Collingwood office: "Everyone in this building deserves a massage and a day off."
Now we're in Bremen where Death and his skeleton army are chasing a group of animals heading to a mythical city. The cast of almost 50 fill the stage as the puppets swirl and Death's river rises in a flurry of plastic sheeting.
Vereker smiles as the applause rings out for the cast.
"Before June you just don't know what your festival is going to look like," she says. "It's open access all in."
Now it's on.
Back in the club they're roaring past midnight. In the quiet city, the Fringe is screaming.

Details on how we measure are available on our Technical Page.
ADSL, VDSL, DSL - the standard broadband service provided over a telephone line from an exchange or a cabinet (FTTN), VDSL is a faster version than ADSL. They use similar technology and backhaul, so sometimes DSL is used when referring to both. ADSL is sometimes called "Standard Copper", and VDSL "High Speed Copper".ADSL1 Rural only broadband.
Backhaul or Longhaul - the links that are used to connect over long distances, e.g. from say Christchurch or Hamilton to Auckland.
Capped Plans - the most common ADSL service, where you have a monthly plan having a GigaByte (GB) limit of usage each month before your speed is slowed or you must pay more.
Unlimited Plans - ADSL service where there is no monthly limit on the amount of data used. Specifications for this service include that it may be "Managed" and have "performance reductions applied during peak demand periods."
Cable - Cable is offered by Telstra & Optus in Australia, and is available in a limited number of cities. Vodafone offers cable in the Wellington and Christchurch areas.
Cabinet - In NZ there are two cabinet types, an Active Cabinet, which has electronics inside, usually a DSLAM, and a Passive Cabinet, which is simply a flexible cable joint. They are common in suburbs as large steel cabinets with usually two doors for accessing the insides. Chorus is often having them painted with pictures to reduce graffiti.
DNS - Domain Name Server. As the Internet is based on IP addresses, a DNS service translates domain names into the corresponding IP addresses. Searches require translation into IP addresses, and poor DNS performance slows the browsing experience.
DSLAM - the exchange or cabinet based equipment that your modem is connected to, over the pair of copper wires that are exclusively allocated to your premises.
Ethernet - The wiring used to connect computers to a network, typically an Ethernet cable is coloured (often blue), with small square connectors at each end.
Fixed Wireless - Fixed wireless is sold in New Zealand using the Mobile 4G network. The service involves using a gateway (AKA; modem, router, wifi as well as a VoIP converter) with an internal SIM card within the modem to provide your normal home broadband over the mobile network. Vodafone, Spark and Skinny offer the service using gateways that look and feel exactly like an ADSL or VDSL modem (gateway). However they are portable, plugging them in anywhere in the cellsite area not only meets their network rules but works, all you need is power. In fact Vodafone have been selling their model to caravan clubs for use in mobile campers for some time. Spark sell a data gateway which is a fully "portable wifi 4g router" and is only the size of a cellphone, but includes Wifi and router facilities but runs on a battery, however has a tiny data cap compared to the fixed wireless solutions they also sell.
FTTN - Fibre To The Node is based on fibre-optic cables run to a cabinet serving a neighbourhood. It uses existing coaxial or twisted-pair infrastructure to provide connections from the cabinet to the home. Approximately 50% of NZ homes are able to be served by FTTN
FTTH - Fibre To The Home (or Premises) are connected using a gigabit passive optical network (GPON). A fibre cable, known as the "drop fibre", goes from the premises to the street. The "drop fibre" cable joins a "local network" which links a number of premises to a splitter in the fibre distribution hub. In NZ this is known as UFB.
Gaming Servers - TrueNet uses 5 gaming server addresses based in Sydney for testing, however these change frequently without notice and we sometimes miss the change. We would be pleased to use others if we had the IP addresses, if you own one, please contact us. Those we use currently include:
- League of Legends (1) - 18.104.22.168
- League of Legends (2) - 220.127.116.11
- Battlefield 4 - 22.214.171.124
- World of Warcraft - 188.8.131.52
- Starcraft - 22.214.171.124
ISPs - Internet Service Providers. TrueNet has probes measuring almost 20 ISPs but only reports on those where there are 5 or more probes working during any particular month.
Latency - The time for a packet of data to be returned by a remote server to the probe when a "Ping" command is issued. TrueNet sets targets for maximum median latency that are known to be achievable. The roundtrip Latency between Auckland and Dunedin in fibre optic cables is roughly 15 msec.
LFC - Local Fibre Company. These companies are rolling out FTTH connections subsidised by the government, but must sell services through ISPs.
Live Public Webpages - These were listed on Alexa.com as some of the most popular websites from NZ, we often change websites to ensure fairness between ISPs. The location of the website is based on perception (not the location of the cache or CDN)
- NZ: Kiwibank, NZTA, Priceme, Radio NZ, Real Estate, Scoop, The Warehouse, ANZ, Orcon, Slingshot, Spark, Vodafone, Voyager, Westpac, Broadbandcompare, Chorus, Commerce Commission, Farmers, Immigration NZ, IRD, NZ Metservice, NZ Herald, NZ Post, NZTA, Priceme (NZ), Stuff, Trademe, TVNZ,
- Australia: Bureau of Meteorology, News.com, Nine News, SMH, ABC News, Google(AU), Commonwealth Bank, Realestate (AU), .
- USA: ABC7 - LA, Blogspot, CBS Local - LA, Daily News, Diply, Netflix, Outbrain, Reddit, SF Chronicle, Vice, Wikipedia.
- China: - Aliexpress, Alibaba
- UK: The Lab Bible
- We also measure TheLadBible, but that is a UK based site, extremely popular in NZ so is cached on a CDN in the USA.
LLU - or Local Loop Unbundled lines are DSL lines where the ISP uses their own DSLAM in the exchange to deliver DSL services. The ISP then leases the copper line (Local Loop) between the exchange and their customer's premises.
Median - The Median is found for each probe and this is input to any analysis to calculate the average performance. This means that any result represents the "middle" performance measure applicable for that probe. Using median ensures that the result is more representative due to the often skewed nature of measurements by probe.
NBN Fibre (AUS) - "NBN co is a single entity rolling out fibre nationwide and then wholesaling it to ISP's" from a good comparison here.
RBI (Rural Broadband Initiative) - from the Chorus page here "RBI pulls together several elements that mean 87% of rural New Zealand will get ADSL2+ or VDSL broadband. It incorporates copper, fibre and wireless networks to deliver better broadband. Where you live and work determines what solution is provided - either fixed line broadband (over the our copper and fibre networks) or fixed wireless broadband (over Vodafone's mobile network)."
Speed - Throughput or the median peak connection speed achieved during our standard test downloading an image from our test servers. TrueNet normally reports speed as a comparison at low vs high demand times to show any capacity constraints evident in speed performance, often called the Time of Day analysis.
UFB Fibre (NZ) - Ultra Fast Broadband connections are the service offered by some ISPs over the Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network built by LFCs over government subsidised fibres. Services now being offered include 200Mbps, 100Mbps, 50Mbps and 30Mbps, with 1000Mbps available as part of the Gigatown initiative.
Webpage Download - TrueNet maintains a Standard Test page which is used for measuring the time to download the entire page. This page is visible here, we use a copy located on our test servers for test downloads. The time to download excludes the time for a browser to generate the page on a screen, some are faster than others.

|Reviews for Their Midnight Revels
| mentalillusions chapter 12 . 1/20/2013
I really loved this story it was so wonderful! The letters in the previous chapter made me cry they were so beautiful. I love how all through the story everything felt like it was really planned and thought about, not like in the actual DA where things just happen for no reason! Also i loved how you refferenced real things, and even if i dont know what they are, it shows that the story was really thourght about and planned. Did i mention i really loved it? Who knew i could find something which combined my love of period-set things and fantasy and romance. Sorry i havent reviewed until now, but this should make up for it. Oh dear its reaallly long. Well, yes! Thankyou for such a lovely wonderful story!
Oh and i loved the texts
| Guest chapter 12 . 1/19/2013
As much as I loved this story, I can't stop thinking, how did Mr. Bates get Anna to co-sign on naming their son after Thomas!?
| TheMysteriousGeek2345 chapter 12 . 1/19/2013
Such a cute ending. LOLing about Mycroft Holmes being in it, as well as Thomas using emoticons! I loved this story it was cute, tragic and happy at the same time. Brillaint!
| Lady Strallan chapter 12 . 1/19/2013
Nice that they got to live a happy life.
| Guest chapter 10 . 1/15/2013
I can't tell you how happy it made me when o'brien calls thomas her family. I hate what fellowes has done to their relationship, because she's right. When she says "people like us," she doesn't mean meanies, does she? I love this story so much that i forgive you for bates and thomas making nice!
| Lady Strallan chapter 10 . 1/14/2013
I'm so please that they will finally be together.
| TheMysteriousGeek2345 chapter 10 . 1/14/2013
Yes! :) They got married! So happy about this chapter, and hoping it is not the last! Please continue!
| TheMysteriousGeek2345 chapter 9 . 12/11/2012
Yay- they got out! But- Thomas has forgotten everthing :( .
Hope he remembers and that both he and Edith get to stay in the faery world.
| The Green Eyed Cat chapter 9 . 12/10/2012
Awwww! I loved this. It's really nice that they get their happy endings. Hopefully Mary and O'Brien won't screw it up for them. Great chapter :)
| TheMysteriousGeek2345 chapter 8 . 12/8/2012
This is really awesome- Poor Thomas and Edith... :(
Hope they get 2 return to the faeries and stuff like that.
| Gold Phoenix Selreena chapter 8 . 11/28/2012
Being a fan of Emilie Autumn, who then inspired me to learn about Victorian/Edwardian mental health and institutions, I know what you're on about XD Really awesome chapter as always, I really do want Edith and Thomas to be with the fairies... hopefully they will get there one day :D
| The Green Eyed Cat chapter 8 . 11/27/2012
This chapter was great but incredibly sad. I really hope that Mary sees the error of her way soon (O'Brien is pretty stubborn, so I don't want to hold my breath on that one). I was really pleased that Carson felt so sad about Thomas. I have this great image in my head of Bates and Sybil telling Carson the truth, Carson nicking the car and them all driving off to rescue Thomas and Edith. I know that's probably not where you are going with it, but it amuses me.
I feel really bad for poor Thomas, I really want to give the guy a hug. I know that the isolation is awful too, but I kind of feel like Edith has been in training for that her whole life with everyone ignoring her all the time, whereas poor Thomas is being tortured while he feels like he's been rejected by the only person who has ever really understood him. I really don't know how Mary and O'Brien can think they are possibly doing the right thing here, they are just causing pain and suffering where there would otherwise be acceptance and happiness.
Can't wait for the next chapter :)
| Gold Phoenix Selreena chapter 7 . 11/20/2012
Woot, pleasantly surprised when I saw this was updated. I like reading your author notes too XD Very interesting :D
| The Green Eyed Cat chapter 7 . 11/19/2012
That's really sad, why can't they let them be happy rather than being locked away forever? I'm really hoping they change their minds and let them go.
| Gold Phoenix Selreena chapter 6 . 11/10/2012
Ooooooooooo crazy times are about at the Abbey. Looking forward to the next chapter, so excited! :)

This show really put a human face on illegal immigrants. This is my favorite episode by far.
At the beginning of the episode I was leaning towards siding with the minuteman Frank but as the episode progressed Frank became irritating and I grew to love the illegal immigrant family.
Even though these people were illegal immigrants, its hard to blame them for coming here after viewing the portion of the episode where Frank traveled to the family's old home in Mexico. They pretty much lived outdoors with a tin roof. There was not even sanitized water to drink.
They seem to be really good people, especially the mother. One of their daughters was a straight A student and a Princeton hopeful. You really fell for these people.
At the end Frank claimed to love these people but wanted to send them back to the hellhole they came from. This really irritated me, Frank doesn't know the first thing about love.

Back to Home Page or Contents Page or Judaism or Index
Mishnah (Hebrew, teaching) is Jewish oral law and in particular a collection of oral law completed by Judah ha-Nasi. Originally all oral law was designated as "mishnah" and it was accepted that the mishnah of one tanna was different from that of another. After Judah ah-Nasi reacted and arranged his six orders of mishnah around the beginning of the sixth century AD it was initially described as "Our Mishnah." The Mishnah is divided into six sedarim, orders, Zeraim (Seeds), Mo'ed (Festivals), Nashim (Women), Nezikim (Damages), Kodashim (Holy Things), and Tohorot (Purities): the Talmuds are based on these sedarim. Judah ha-Nasi embodied in his collection many earlier collections: he "systematized the mishnayot; they had been previously systematized, but he stated the halakhah both anonymously and and according to the views of a score of disciples of the sages Thus the final text contains many different styles as well as an enormous variety of opinion." (Samsom and Chinon) At the same time Judah ha-Nasi laid down his personal rulings which is why the amoraim on occasion assert, "the Mishnah represents an individual opinion," (B.Suk.19b) Because of such combining and selecting of existing collections, Judah ha Nasi's Mishnah became representative of the entire community and authoritative, although other collections were attempted, such as Tosefta. Later commentators debate as to whether early mishnah collections were in writing, and it is argued that Judah ha-Nasi's Mishnah was only taught orally. Different sequences of the six sedarim are given by Resh Lakish and R. Tanhuma which argues for an oral transmission. Each seder is divided into massekhtot, treaties. The sequence of the treaties differs within the orders of the different manuscripts. The text was also emended by later teachers; the most important early manuscripts are the Kaufman manuscript in Budapest, the Parma manuscript, the Oxford manuscript which contains the Maimonides' commentaries, and the Cambridge manuscript. It was first printed in Spain in 1485, but the first complete surviving edition was printed in Naples in 1492. A.G.H.

The Historic Town of Springfield, Louisiana is conveniently
located off Interstate 12, on Highway 42.
Springfield is the place "Where Everybody is Somebody"
Springfield began in the 17th century at one of the northernmost points considered to be navigable on the Natalbany River. Between Springfield and Lake Maurepas, Ponchatoula Creek joins the Natalbany and increases its flow. Via the Natalbany, Lake Maurepas, and Lake Ponchatrain, and Bayou Saint John, Springfield had access to New Orleans by water; similarly, at the time (prior to the damming of the channel by levees) along the Amite River and Mississippi River, Bayou Manchac provided shallow-water access between Springfield and Baton Rouge.
By 1810 Springfield was one of the areas of interest in the rebellion against Spain to produce the Republic of West Florida. Bricks from the old Spanish fort can still be found at its location roughly 200 yards in front of the current Post Office
This lovely red brick antebellum structure served as the Livingston Parish Courthouse from 1835 to 1872 when the town of Springfield was the parish seat of Livingston Parish. It is a national register property located at the intersection of Second Street and Mulberry. Later on the parish seat was moved to the community of Port Vincent, where another former parish courthouse also stands.

The politics of the Incirlik base in Turkey; cause for alarm for the USA
The coup attempt led Erdogan to shut the airspace over the airbase and power. It exposed the vulnerability of the base which stores nuclear weapons.
Turkey has been a long-standing member of NATO having joined the alliance in 1952. It is the nation with the largest military establishment in NATO and its actions can have severe effects on the alliance. The coup against Erdogan has changed a lot of things and also brought into focus that if Turkey leaves the alliance the effect on NATO would be catastrophic.
Aftermath of the coup
The military coup against Erdogan has literally stirred the cauldron. Erdogan feels that the coup was engineered with support from the CIA and his long-term foe Gulen, now in self-imposed exile in the USA. The aftermath of the coup saw Erdogan apply a no-fly zone on the most important US base in Turkey at Incirlik.
This base is extremely important as it houses the strike force of the USAF with nearly 2000 personnel. It is also used by the Turkish air force. The base also stores nuclear weapons. It is only about 70 miles from the Syrian border. The USAF flies missions from this base against #ISIS. The result of the no-fly zone was that all air activity ceased at the base, though aircraft returning from missions were allowed to land.
Erdogan followed up the enforcement of the no-fly zone by cutting the external power supply to the base. The base had to be run on internal power and exposed the risks of keeping nuclear weapons in a country plagued by uncertainty.
Further repercussions
The commander of the base General Bekir Erican Van was alleged to be involved in the coup attempt and asked for asylum, which was turned down.
He was subsequently arrested on orders of Erdogan, who began a massive purge of elements suspected to be part of the coup against him. He was cautioned against this by the US Secretary of State Kerry as well as European powers. He also proposed to re-introduce the death penalty which has brought a warning from the German Chancellor that it would affect Turkey's chances of joining the EU.
The external power supply was restored and operations have commenced from the base but the events have cast a shadow on the Incirlik base. It has brought into focus the fact that the weapons stored at the base can easily fall into Jihadi hands or renegade troops. It can also lead to a situation where Erdogan may himself order the takeover of the base and the nuclear weapons. Erdogan is trying to forge a relationship with Russia and this is cause for worry for the USA. #Foreign Affairs

Ronaldo Slashed To Win The Ballon d'Or - 8/1 To Top Score In Brazil
Lionel Messi may have won four Ballon d'Or Trophies. however, after single handedly guiding Portugal to victory in their crucial World Cup qualifier against Sweden, William Hill have slashed the odds of Cristiano Ronaldo winning the Ballon d'Or from 2/1 to 4/9 with Franck Ribery 15/8 and the Barcelona legend out to 8/1. Following Sweden's defeat, Ibrahimovic's odds have drifted from 20/1 to 28/1.
"When the prices first came out, Ronaldo was 9/2 to win the Ballon d'Or but he has just been absolutely phenomenal this season and it seems that for once he will not be playing second fiddle to Mr Messi," said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.
Ronaldo is 8/1 to finish Brazil 2014 as leading scorer after his stunning hat trick in Sweden saw Portugal win 4-2 on aggregate to qualify. We also make him 7/1 to be the player of the tournament.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A central Missouri man says rescuers were shocked that he survived being pinned to his bed by a tree and a power pole that fell onto his home during a powerful storm.
Cheston Fox told KOMU-TV he was trapped from the waist down but remained conscious after the pole and the tree crashed into his mobile home around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Teams from the Columbia Fire Department and the Boone County Fire Protection took about an hour to rescue Fox. He says the crews cut the bottom out of his trailer and took his bed apart to extricate him.
Fox said he underwent X-rays but suffered only bumps and scratches.
The same tree also went through the wall of a neighboring mobile home, but the resident ran out just before the room collapsed.

Halloween Costumes for Kids: Fun Girls' Easy-Sew Gypsy & Princess Costumes
I remember playing dress-up with my mother's fancy dressing gowns - one in particular, her favorite and mine, was a silky, deep turquoise with long bell sleeves, and two ruched panel-inserts in the front in a paler turquoise and cream that fell from neck to hem. The billowing skirt made a long train that flowed out behind me. I felt like a real princess as I paraded in front of the mirror and passed in stately procession up an down the hallway in her fluffy, low-heeled mules.
There was always something wonderful at the back of the closet - something that could be tacked up, pinned or basted into a smaller size to become a beautiful Halloween creation.
Gypsy Girl
From Gypsy to Hippy...
The best part of Halloween fun was always being allowed to wear make-up. For that one special night (and the one afternoon of the school costume party), we were granted admittance into that magical circle of women who wore make-up.
Magically transported into temporary womanhood, or so we thought at the time, our imaginations were set free as we floated as fairies queens, wafted as royal princesses or smoldered as a gypsy-girl temptress for that one exhilarating evening. We felt like movie stars with our kiss curls, tiara-crowned ringlets, lightly rouged cheeks and cherry-red lips. Some even sportted eye shadow!
Though we never achieved the effortless-seeming glamor of Carmel Myers, the silent film actress and Zigfield Follies girl pictured below, it certainly wasn't for lack of trying.
A generation or so later, girls were raiding the back-of-the-closet-collection of long skirts, shawls, peasant blouses, and head bands to recreate the Haight-Ashbury/San Fransisco hippy-dippy, love-child look.
Carmel Myers - Glam Gypsy
The Times, They Were A-Changin'
I remember attending a costume party while at college. I was wearing one of my mother's favorite skimmers from the '60s, a paisley print in bright, swirling colors - hot pink, orange, red, and dark green - one of the typically eye-popping color combinations of that era.
The dress featured long sleeves, that were gathered and full at the shoulder, then caught into fitted cuffs from elbow to wrist, each cuff sporting twelve self-covered buttons, in nifty button-and-loop closures. The dress had a Nehru collar, shoulder button-and-loop closure that matched the cuffs. The bright fabric was gathered in soft folds at the yoke, and fell in a soft drape to just above the knee - a fairly modest length for that time.
I teased my hair into a bouffant pouf, and pinned a flat bow in the crown. My smoky eye shadow, cat's-eye black eye-liner, and false eyelashes were "Twiggy-perfect." I had even found a pair of clunky-heeled sling-backs to complete the ensemble.
Feeling quite pleased with my efforts to recreate the Carnaby Street look, and in authentic clothing, I strolled through the party goers. Suddenly, a young woman stopped in front of me and touched my sleeve, fingering the material. Smiling, eyes wide, she exclaimed, "Oh, my God!"
My bubble of pleasure was quickly burst by the next words out of her mouth...
"Where did you find such an ugly dress?" she asked.
I tried to kindly put her words down to the drink in her hand. After all, alcohol has been known to loosen the tongue and cause one to blurt out unfortunate remarks one would never dream of saying when sober.
"It's so sixties," she continued. "Don't you just hate the sixties? They had such ugly clothes!"
"It was my mother's," I replied, conjuring up my best, insincere, 'nice-to-meet-you' party smile.
"How lovely for you," she replied and wafted off in a cloud of perfume and alcohol-laced fruit punch fumes.
So much for authenticity...
Gossamer Fairy Wings
Pretty as a Princess
Gypsy Girl - little sewing required
Fairy Princess - some sewing required
Skirt - long, broomstick-pleated works best
Ladies dresses: two of the same or similar size, in complimentary fabrics, with full skirts, flounced or with crinolines
Blouse - white or bright printed peasant-style
(Out-of-style grad, prom, or bridesmaid dresses work very well for this)
Ballet flats or exercise slippers
Ballet flats or exercise slippers
Scarves - two large silky squares, one smaller print square
Jeweled tiara, fancy necklace and bracelet play set
Gold or beaded chains and necklaces, long, with or without medallions
Fairy wings
Single large gold hoop earring - clip-on style
Fairy wand
Fairy Princess:
- Choose the dress with the best fitting bodice for your under-dress or base. Turn the dress inside out and fit it to your child, pinning it in place. The best way to size down a dress without making major modifications, is to make princess-style seams, one on each side, on the front and the back of the dress, from the middle of the top shoulder seam to the waist. This allows you to take in a large amount of fabric without having to deal with zippers and re-cutting sleeves.
- Cut the bodice from the second dress, leaving about an inch for a seam allowance.
- If the first dress has crinolines, or is the puffier skirt, attach the second dress skirt over top of the first dress. If the second dress has attached crinolines, attach it to the waist of the first dress, under the first dress.
- Cut the over-skirt up the center, and hem on both sides. Tack the over-skirt back so that the under skirt shows in the front.
- Wrap a long sash, or piece of silky fabric with the edges tucked under, around the your child's waist to cover any rough edges, and tie the sash in a puffy bow at the back.
- You can tack on small bunches of silk flowers on the under-skirt for a fancy effect.
- Add the fairy wings. Give the elastic straps a light coating of glitter glue and allowing them to dry. you may have to touch up a few spots after your child puts on the wings, but the overall effect will be enchanting.
Add the tiara, costume jewelry, ballet flats, magic wand, a touch of pink lip gloss, and your fairy princess is ready for her Halloween ball.
Gypsy Girl:
- Pin or baste the waist of the skirt to fit your child's waist. If the waist has an elastic in a casing, you can also simply open the casing near the seam, and shorten the elastic.
- Fold one large, square scarf in half, diagonally, and tie it around your child's waist with the points hanging down on one side.
- Raise the neckline of the blouse by pinning or shortening the elastic or ties.
- If necessary, tighten up the elastic in the sleeves so they fit snugly, but not too tightly, at your child's wrists or just below the elbows, whichever you prefer.
- Blouse may be worn tucked in or tied at the waist with the second large, square. Fold and tie the square the same as the first one, but tie it on the opposite side from the first scarf.
- Fold the smaller scarf in half diagonally, tie it over your child's head with the ends to one side (like a pirate scarf)
- Drape one of the necklaces around your child's head so the medallion is in the center of the forehead - pin in place. You can tack the necklace in place with needle and thread if you prefer.
- If your child has bangs, pull out a few strands of hair to shape into a "kiss curl" and use hair spray to hold it in place. you can make several curls, or one on each side, if you prefer.
Ballet flats or exercise slippers complete the costume. You can add some sparkling, costume jewelry bangles, and then all your gypsy girl needs to be the belle of the Halloween party is a touch of cheek color and some red lipstick.
Pretty as a Princess
You can, of course, purchase a pattern to sew a costume, but the materials will cost almost as much as purchasing a costume online, and many of us don't have the necessary time build a costume from scratch.
It's much more fun to take your child along on your search. That way, she can be there for sizing, and she can help pick out the prettiest dresses. You can find some lovely and inexpensive second hand and out-of-style grad and bridesmaid dresses that can easily be cut down and pinned up into lovely costumes both you and your child will love.

Oh, I remember going as a gypsy one year for a fancy dress competition in school...came in third. LOL
More absolutely fantastic costume tips, RedElf! And reading through your memories brought back some lovely ones of my own. Voted up, useful, and awesome!
Voted up. Great and seasonal information. Dressing up is all part of the fun. I'm often seen in old Irish costume doing my Haloween storytelling, or as a witch at bonfire parties.
I seem to recall being a princess one year too.

Apple defeats 'OS 9' trademark suit
MacOS 9 protected by 'fair use' rule
An attempt to force Apple to drop the 'OS 9' from its MacOS 9 operating system was chucked out of court on Friday. Veteran OS developer Microware Systems brought the case after MacOS 9 was released last autumn. Microware offers an operating system of its own called OS-9, and has done for years. It claimed Apple had infringed its trademark. Not so, said the US District Court. Apple's use of MacOS 9 was permissible under the principle of 'fair use', presumably since it refers to the OS' version number and not its name. In any case, MacOS 9 and OS-9, despite the fact they both run on the PowerPC processor, are aimed at very different markets: consumer and mainstream computing, and embedded applications, respectively. So there's little or no chance that buyers of one would confuse it with the other. ®

Phenomenalism from the Greek phainomenon (appearance) philosophically means any system of thought that has to with appearances. "The difficulties present in the dualism of phenomenon and object have led a number of philosophers to the position of phenomenalism." [Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion Eastern and Western Thought, W.L. Reese, Humanities Press]
If the descriptions and conclusions for an observation are altered in any way by conditions of perception due to phenomenalism, discombobulating science is created. To discombobulate is to become confused or stymied. Phenomenalism is a problem in astrophysics that leads to science going down the wrong path that causes confusion and stifles the true nature found in cosmology.
Phenomenalism is hardly recognized in scientific methodology for understanding the universe and I propose we develop and build a new branch of scientific methodology specifically called Astrophysics Phenomenalism to explore, identify and recognize the causes and effects that produce phenomenalism.

EU report says 25% of Irish women suffer domestic violence
05/03/2014 - 16:10:11Back to Ireland Home
Safe Ireland is calling domestic violence against women to be dealt with at Cabinet level, after a new EU report confirmed 1-in-4 Irish women suffers violence.
Ireland has the poorest reporting rate, with 70% of Irish women saying they do not contact authorities after serious abuse.
A report of 28 EU countries also found 1-in-3 Irish women have experienced psychological violence from a partner.
The CEO of Safe Ireland, Sharon O'Halloran, said something must be done by the Government.

Why are they so touchy? It's complicated, but the short answer is globalization. In the past, only the mobile, moneyed elite in Islamic countries got to experience Western lifestyles, but now that TV, radio and computers have spread Western pop culture almost everywhere, traditional Islamic societies feel that their way of life is under attack. It's like the way some members of our Black middle class felt when certain "experts" argued that most of New Orleans East and Gentilly ought not be rebuilt. What sounded hunky-dory to real estate developers and urban planners sounded like sacrilege to the home folks.
Fortunately, there are no images of Mohammed or maps of New Orleans with any neighborhoods missing at Barrister's Gallery, so no violent reaction is imminent. Instead of gods or prophets we see regular folk, but often from unlikely perspectives. Dan Tague, the show's organizer, is kind of a serial curator, and while his efforts are often interesting there is always a risk that his cast of usual suspects can become repetitious. Fortunately, much of what we see here is surprising and enlivening. Michelle Elmore's Chopper is a big color blowup of someone's elaborately bejeweled front teeth. Here they are closely cropped and framed by the dude's moustache stubble and ample, tropical lips, and blown up many times life size in a stunning example of cosmetic dentistry bordering on baroque architecture. More subtly shocking is Sean Neary's Public Enemy portrait of Saddam Hussein being examined by a doctor. It looks like a canvas painted with broad, cubist brush strokes, but up close it is clearly a collage with facial contours cleverly constructed from different shades of paper taken from printed magazine advertisements.
Alex Podesta's Untitled (Bunny Self-Portrait) is a realistic, near life-size sculpture of a bearded man in a bunny outfit dressing a nearly identical bearded man in an identical bunny suit. Sort of like a modern artist with a Harvey the Rabbit alter ego, it is spooky, surreal and spectacular. But Jeffrey Cook says his own arrangement of six prints of barn owls, each with a jigsaw puzzle-shaped piece missing, is actually a self-portrait because he's "wiser now," in the wake of recent events. No less enigmatic is Tim Best's diptych of two large photographs, Breathing Indicator and Ascending Chanel, views of a snappily dressed young professional man and woman who look like they've just been thrown out of some place, landing on their respective backsides, arms and legs astraddle. Curator Tague suggests it's a corporate analogy of a Biblical theme, perhaps an Expulsion from the Garden of Enron. Hmm. But Daphne Loney's display case with an alabaster-white forearm paired with a little statuette of the Blessed Virgin is pointedly mysterious in a Duchampian vein, a symbolic confrontation, perhaps, between the Holy Mother and the chaotic forces of Dadaism.
Dan Tague is himself represented with a body-shaped outline on a wall in the form of an orange extension cord, with a frayed end on the floor amid some coins in a puddle of water. He says the orange extension cord has become a symbol of life and death in these parts, where every week the bodies of asphyxiated workers are found near electrical generators in places with poor ventilation, in a kind of Home Depot vision of mortality. Appropriately, Christopher Brumfield's Portrait of Me as a Mochia Worrier rounds out the ritualistic atmosphere in a pseudo-Peruvian burial mound for a "worrier" instead of a warrior. While this Atypical show contains some fairly familiar stuff, its occasional flashes of brilliance burn brightly in the works that most eloquently live up to its name.
