An Introduction to Multiphase Buck Regulators
The below introductory section features a video briefly discussing what exactly multi-phase buck regulators are, what applications they're suited for, and some of the challenges associated with implementing them. Additionally, the listed resources dive a little deeper into the topics covered in the video, providing further instruction in the beginning of your multiphase journey.
White Papers
Designing with Multiphase
In designing with multiphase, Carmen works through a six-phase design for powering the core voltage of a networking ASIC, Marketing Manager George Lakkas explains why multiphase converters are ideal for high currents, and TI engineers blog about common concerns and use contexts.
Testing in the Lab
In testing in the lab, Carmen takes a six phase buck regulator through basic validation testing in the lab with plenty of tips and waveforms shared. Let Carmen show you how to test transient response, input and output ripple, phase stability, and thermal performance.

Multiphase 101
In today's computing environment, CPUs, FPGAs, ASICs and even peripherals are growing increasingly complex and, consequently, so do their power delivery requirements. To handle the higher demands, multiphase regulators are becoming increasingly common on motherboards in many areas of computing--from laptops and tablets to servers and Ethernet switches. Designing with these regulators is more challenging than using conventional switchers and linear regulators, but the benefits of multiphase outweigh the complexity for high-performance power applications.

Like the cinematic adaptation of a late-night Reddit thread, Rodney Ascher's 2012 documentary Room 237 is a remarkably inclusive compilation of conspiracy theories. Picking apart Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, this doc offers no shortage of interpretations both fascinating and insane.
From the bizarre inconsistencies in Kubrick's famously exacting film (the impossible floor plans of Danny's famous tricycle rides alone are riveting), to spurious claims that the accompanying film clips simply don't support, Room 237 declines to overtly contradict its five colorful "experts." The fact that we never see any of them (Ascher illustrates every point with footage taken from The Shining and dozens of other films) almost lends a sort of Ken Burns-esque credibility to even the silliest concepts.
More is more when it comes to something as fussed-over as Kubrick's film, and bu documenting an extraordinary number of theories, Room 237 becomes a celebration of obsession. It also leaves us with the question: Is it even possible to over-interpret a work of art when the theories surrounding it are this entertaining?
The interpretations in Room 237 may not always be convincing, but that's what makes it all the more riveting as it rounds up all the bizarre, labyrinthine paths down which The Shining has led its viewers over the years. If that's not a celebration of the film's merits, then what is?
Possible Discussion Topics
1. Did any of these theories seem convincing to you?
2. Did the inclusion of straight-up insane theories undercut the credibility of the more convincing ones?
3. Describe the first time you saw The Shining. Were you traumatized?
4. At what point does a soundstage's illogical floor plan stop being a simple reality of filmmaking and start having deeper meanings?
5. Does such an in-depth interpretation ruin the mystique of a work for you? Will The Shining be quite as scary now that you've seen Room 237?
Now step away from the elevators and let's start this conversation.

Two Congressmen sent a letter Wednesday asking Apple why it seems to fall short when protecting iOS user information and contacts.
The letter, prompted by news that iOS application Path had been storing user information from address books without user knowledge or consent, asks Apple a few tough questions:
- Please describe all iOS App Guidelines that concern criteria related to the privacy and security of data that will be accessed or transmitted by an app.
- Please describe how you determine whether an app meets those criteria.
- What data do you consider to be "data about a user" that is subject to the requirement that the app obtain the user's consent before it is transmitted?
- To the extent not addressed in the response to question 2, please describe how you determine whether an app will transmit "data about a user" and whether the consent requirement has been met.
- How many iOS apps in the U.S. iTunes Store transmit "data about a user"?
- Do you consider the contents of the address book to be "data about a user"?
- Do you consider the contents of the address book to be data of the contact? If not, please explain why not. Please explain how you protect the privacy and security interests of that contact in his or her information.
- How many iOS apps in the U.S. iTunes Store transmit information from the address book? How many of those ask for the user's consent before transmitting their contacts' information?
- You have built into your devices the ability to turn off in one place the transmission of location information entirely or on an app-by-app basis. Please explain why you have not done the same for address book information.
The letter, written by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California and Commerce Manufacturing and Trade Subcommittee Chairman GK Butterfield, D-North Carolina, asks for Apple chief executive Tim Cook to respond to the questions by Feb. 29.
U.S. & World
While Apple isn't forced to answer the questions, it's obvious that if Apple doesn't there will be more scrutiny by Congress and likely a probe. Google's experience tells us that. Plus if Apple answers, much like Facebook did last year, it's bound to blow over despite threats of government probes.
But should it blow over? We would hope not, because Apple does have some 'splaining to do. Is there some unwritten rule that it's OK to download address books? While Apple has always touted its walled garden approach to apps and devices, who knew that poachers and spies were already hanging out in that same garden.

Apologies if it's been asked before, a search for a forum entry with Exim, 465, SMTP, didn't show anything.
Used Exim on Freesco in the past, had it working well. Used the FAQ/Wiki guidance at:
http://dingetje.homeip.net/dokuwiki/fre ... ail_server
Now, Freesco is on a mobile carrier, and I want to route outbound email through a (different) paid-for SMTP service using SSL on port 465. (Mobile carrier recommends doing this, and handheld clients seem to manage it ok, so the carrier does route port 465 traffic correctly.)
I could not see anywhere in the Exim conf file to stipulate using port 465. I've said
hosts_require_auth = the.paidfor.server
and set up a LOGIN auth stanza with
client_send = ^me^mypass
But the connection is failing and I think it needs to use port 465.
Is it possible to do this, and where should I configure the port?
Any help much appreciated,
regards, Island

Posted 6 years ago on March 26, 2014, 8:16 p.m. EST by ZenDogTroll
from South Burlington, VT
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
So I was in a plumbing supply house today. Not that I'm a plumber but you know, I was, I was in a plumbing supply house today. The water line came apart in the basement last night and so, you know, there was a mess to clean up and parts to get and so there I was, in the plumbing supply house.
They have a tv - next to the counter - in the plumbing supply house. It's a big screen tv.
Does that strike anyone as odd?
It was tuned to FUX Snuz. Seriously. I kid you not.
The guy that was waiting on me went off to do some research and left me there at the counter, all by myself - right beside that big ass tv . . . tuned to FUX Snuz . . .
You just know I couldn't resist, right? There were a couple of other people there, one of them another employee of the plumbing supply house, counter help, haha. Eeyeah.
You know they've done a study I piped up good and loud, they have, they've done a couple of them, that indicate that people who watch FUX Snuz are dumber than the rest of America.
I did. I said that. And heres a link to a recent study. Looks like that article appeared in January this year.
Anyway that's just the way I am. I'm trying to do business with these people and there is that tv and I just cannot help myself. The guy at the counter got all up tight, and he started sputtering about President Obama attempting to take over the internet and shit . . . I mean, I thought it was companies like Comcast that were trying to take over the internet but I dunno, maybe I haven't been paying attention. I was tempted to see if I couldn't get him twisted even harder, maybe make his squealin' just a little more shrill - but honestly I didn't have any notes in front of me and that tv was quite a surprise - and it never dawned on me to just tell him about global warming - how it's right out in the parking lot and the repelican party is DONE . . .
But honestly, I do differentiate between those who are the traffickers and those who are the consumers of LIES . . . I do think it is an important distinction. The guy at the counter is no different from most folks really - and most folks would not deliberately consume an inferior product, not knowing full well the breadth and the depth of the inferiority. Not without a well thought out set of reasons for doing so.
But the owner of the company . . . now that may be a whole other matter.
Anywayz . . . I didn't know if it would be instructive to any of you folks to discover that in many ways the way I act on line is not much different from the way I am in person. I am an obnoxious prick . . . and that is without even tryin'.
There is a thread running around here, Some Current Thoughts of Solution and it seems the author isn't sure if the thread should read ZenDogs Current Thoughts of Solution or not. For a while it did and I'm sure some of you saw it. It doesn't now and it doesn't matter, really.
But what does matter, or so it seems to me, is that I posted the following:
I posted them in that order and then shit just seemed to fall apart. Never mind the particulars. Just know it's been one thing after another, non stop, all day long.
And so I thought, you know, just for the sake of clarity, I might provide a little insight. Yes, the water pump needs an o ring. Without it I won't get a shower. And if I catch the muther fuker droppin o rings in the frozen back yard I will most likely killem. Unless of course they own the property, in which case they can drop all the o rings they like - but they will get a grilling over the matter of who it was that put them up to it - not that they would really know of course.
So much for o ring droppin' mutherfukers . . .
AS for the clown in the parking lot this morning - I wasn't sure if or what . . . but you know - his shoes didn't match his coat and after having been spanked as hard as I have been in the past nothing looks the same and so you know . . . I just couldn't help myself. I really shouldn't have really. The way he was looking around the parking lot - it could have been genuine paranoia, he might not have been acting - but I just couldn't help it. I had to tell him. I said: I really shouldn't mention it, but those shoes really don't go with that coat. I don't know if he caught the sarcasm or not - certainly he did not get the rage, that I hid very carefully. Very deliberately. And I kept walking as he responded. I really didn't want to hear whatever explanation he might offer - and he might in fact not have been an actor, which is precisely why I shouldn't behave that way.
AS I said, I really just couldn't help myself.
And as for that entire series of shit just going wrong - well. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes it's engineered. Either way, I'll say it again. Just to be clear - I don't want anyone to think I regret having said it.
History demonstrates, from the Great Famine in Ireland c. 1845, to the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, to today's conservative resentment over FDR policy and repelican brinkmanship over the economy regardless of consequence during the entirety of President Obama's tenure. Conservatives are insane.
We need a study, one that should not take too long to get at the facts - regarding the full breadth and depth of damage done to this nation by men like the Koch brothers and their allies like Rove, Norquist, and all the rest of them. I don't mean the politicians themselves, but rather their strategists and their think tanks and their money men. The politicians are no more than duly appointed faces fronting for particular, conservative, interests. At what cost must be the question.
Once the evidence has been assembled, and it will show that I am absolutely correct in assessment, conservatives are insane and content to destroy the whole nation if need be to satiate their mad whims . . . once the evidence is assembled a strategy may be devised, one based on the imperative of national interest.
At that point, if conservatives will not relinquish power, then I say . . .
- . . . lets just killem all . . .
any questions?

Never had such gratifying sex fun before. This rabbit dong has strong vibes, especially the vibrations from the rabbit ears that teases your clit which i need. I get wild when i masturbate, i move around and change sex positions a lot, and it's bendable ability works for me cause it moves with me no matter what crazy positions i get in, but still provides stiffness and fills me up completely Tried it in the shower too, stuck it on the shower floor and rode it like a wild bull. you can't go wrong with this oneAnonymous - September 26 2014
I can't believe i've been missing out on this vibrating jelly dong for so long. It has everything you could possibly want from a sex toy.

Vollenhoven, van, family
Van Vollenhoven, an outstanding and widely ramified Dutch family, Mennonite until the 19th century. By its faithfulness and its contributions, both spiritual and financial, this family has given the Mennonite church in Holland meritorious service. Its ancestor was (1) Lubbert Wolfertsz (1578-1663), at first a bargeman, who took the family name of van Vollenhoven, probably after the town of Vollenhove (province of Overijssel), from which he may have stemmed. From about 1610 he lived at Schiedam near Rotterdam, where he operated a cloth business, and was also a shipowner. He was a deacon and probably a preacher of the Schiedam Flemish Mennonite congregation from 1630. His son was (2) Coenraad Lubbertsz, called Koenraad van Vollenhoven, who was a Mennonite preacher at Schiedam and at Haarlem. Another son of (1) Lubbert Wolfertsz was (3) Jan Lubbertsz van Vollenhoven (Schiedam, 1624-Amsterdam, ca. 1670), founder of the Amsterdam branch of this family. (4) Anthoni Lubberts (1617-1707), another son of (1) Lubbert, was an important owner of herring boats at Schiedam and a founder of the large herring fishery of Vlaardingen. (5) Cornelis van Vollenhoven (Schiedam, 1690-Rotterdam, 1768), a grandson of (4) Anthoni, was a flax merchant at Rotterdam and the founder of the Rotterdam branch. He was a deacon of the church at Rotterdam, as were nine of his descendants between 1721 and 1840. In the 19th century this branch joined the Remonstrants. Other prominent members of this family were (6) Coenraad van Vollenhoven (Schiedam, 1682-1743), a son of (4) Anthoni, an owner of herring boats, director of the relief of the poor and of the town orphanage, deacon of the Schiedam Mennonite Church, (7) Willem van Vollenhoven (1707-79), a merchant and wholesale dealer at Amsterdam, who later lived at Haarlem, where he was a deacon and a trustee of the Mennonite orphanage. He is the founder of the Haarlem branch. (8) Jan Messchert van Vollenhoven (Rotterdam, 1748-Bloemendaal, 1814), owner of a brewery at Amsterdam, director of the Dutch Levant trade, shipowner, and writer. His son Jan Messchert van Vollenhoven (1812-1881) in many respects broke the traditions of his family: he studied law, was not engaged in business but in politics, left the liberal political views of his ancestors to side with the "Anti-Revolutionaries," for which political party he was a member both of the Second and the First Chamber. He was a burgomaster of Amsterdam 1858-66. His descendants were Reformed. (9) Aelbert van Meurs van Vollenhoven (Rotterdam, 1749-Utrecht, 1817) was a wholesale dealer and banker at Rotterdam and a deacon of the Rotterdam congregation. His widow Alida (Hesselink) van Vollenhoven (Heerenveen, 1754-Utrecht, 1829) left a considerable sum to the congregation of Knijpe into which she had been baptized. (10) Maria Elisabeth van Vollenhove (1730-1811), a great-granddaughter of (4) Anthoni, was first married to the Remonstrant pastor Jan Verbeek and then (1797) to the Mennonite pastor Cornelis de Vries at Haarlem. After 1881 there are no Mennonite van Vollenhovens. Some branches died out; others joined the Remonstrants and the Reformed church. An outstanding non-Mennonite descendant of this family was Cornelis van Vollenhoven (1874-1933), from 1901 professor of international law at the University of Leiden.

There are skeptics aplenty, including Stephen Chapman at ZDNet, MoneyWatch's sister site. Skepticism is necessary and healthy, as this would be far from a cakewalk for Microsoft. But if you're trying to understand where computing is headed, cynicism would be dangerous. Microsoft has many strengths that could help, and Apple knows it. Here are seven things that Tim Cook is likely weighing.
Corporate buy-in
Apple is the king of consumer electronics, no question. But even with its again growing use in corporations, Microsoft has an establishment in corporate computing that is remarkable. From the operating system on the vast majority of desktops to software that is pervasive, including databases, Office, major corporate applications, and middleware, the company is there, no matter where you turn.
Yes, iPads have become very popular, but they don't naturally integrate with existing systems the way corporations would like. Get the same type of functions in an enterprise-friendly form, and you've provided companies with a powerful reason to buy hardware. Furthermore, the greater number of form factors that will be available are more likely to hit corporate needs, including docking stations for people who have to create and edit documents and spreadsheets and find the experience on a pure tablet wanting, even with the availability of Bluetooth keyboards. (I've been using a Google (GOOG) Android-based system that I bought for traveling, and the ability to seat a tablet to a keyboard with touchpad and extra battery that adds little in weight has been great. Once a Windows-equivalent is available, I'll likely jump just for the desktop software compatibility.)
Massive existing developer base
As Chapman noted, Microsoft will need app developers to compete. I'm wary of the whole "apps are the reason people buy devices," because both Apple's iOS and Google Android managed to build large audiences even without their current levels of app mania. After all, most of the sales and free downloads are from a relatively small slice of the available offerings. But the perception of availability of software is important.
Where Chapman goes wrong, I think, is to say that cross-platform development tools are what could aid Microsoft in this. While they could, he's discounting just how large the Microsoft Windows development camp is. Virtually all corporations putting programmers to work for custom software or to adapt third-party applications have deep Microsoft experience. The most popular software packages, period, have versions for Windows. That's the app strength that Microsoft hopes to leverage, whether on an Intel-based desktop or a tablet or even phone with an ARM chip. Porting isn't an afterthought, but going from one versions of Windows to another? A much easier jump.
Home TV tie-in
Work tie-in is important, but so is home entertainment. That's one place where Microsoft is far better established than Apple because of the Xbox. It's a major streaming platform and has lots of content available. Microsoft is pushing a cheap-up-front Xbox ($99) with an ongoing Xbox Live paid account, plus it has a full motion detection and navigation system, which makes a multi-touch interface look passé.
So the tablet becomes an extension of TV. For the millions of households that already have an online account with Microsoft, it could be a compelling choice.
Unusual determination
Microsoft has screwed up on consumer devices many times. (Can you say Zune or Kin?) But one thing the company has going for it is determination and patience that actually matches Apple's. Yes, there are companies that have eventually beaten Microsoft badly enough that it gave up. The personal finance software category comes to mind.
But it took Microsoft a decade to drop its desktop finance programs. You could call that a waste of time and resources, but it shows how long the company is willing to go to eventually come out on top. The Xbox platform was a major money loser for many years. But Microsoft, like Apple, is in it for the long haul.
Wide range of innovation
Microsoft is one of the largest patent holders in the world, second to IBM. Patents aren't the same as innovation, but the number it holds shows how much investment the companies does in that area. Even rule out many of the piddling patents, and Microsoft has done foundational work in a lot of areas. Much of what it does is invisible to people looking at the consumer electronics space. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist or has no usefulness.
This isn't about a potential legal battle; Apple and Microsoft wisely made peace with each other years ago. But Microsoft has tried often and succeeded a fair amount of time. So, what new things could it bring to a tablet? Hard to tell, but it opens the possibility of approaches that will attract users.
New Borg strategy
The new SmartGlass technology shows how Microsoft has begun to move past the "Windows only, Windows often" approach. Sure, it still wants to sell Windows to everyone multiple times, but as the computing world has changed, the company has been morphing a longtime basic strategy. When you're willing to surround and absorb anyone and everything else, you stand a much greater chance of success, particularly if you want to sell to corporations that aren't crazy about single-vendor solutions anymore and then extend corporate use to the home.
Made the early mistakes
Along with determination, innovation, and advantages is the recognition that Microsoft can do some very stupid and self-defeating things. But the company has been in the tablet space for decades. In fact, you could argue that one reason Apple knew what would work is because Microsoft did so much of the advance work to eliminate what wouldn't. It may finally have gotten many of the mistakes out of its collective system.
The company still faces big odds. Competing with its own hardware partners could prove sticky, at best. But all of them are either using or experimenting with other operating systems, so the days of unquestioned fealty are over, and it may be that the conditions are right for Microsoft to move ahead with a tablet of its own. Again, by no means would this be an easy win, but it's also far from a sure bet loser.

Sunday Singalong with Circlemending - Friends
Yesterday was a unique experience and a really enjoyable time, in spite of 100+ degree temps. Butch & I, along with a select group of musicians & singers, shared the stage in a variety show for the United Methodist Church in Yucca Valley, Calif. entitled "Charlene & Friends" (the organizer was Charlene Ryan-Moore, organist for the church and amazing talent on piano, organ, accordion, and voice). What a talented group! I was honored to be in their presence. We sang & played instruments from about 2 to 4 pm, with a range of genres that is not likely to be found in one location very often. From Bach to Country music, from polkas on the accordion to old ballads on the saw, from originals to traditional pieces . . . this was truly an event that had something for everyone!
I thought it would be fun to keep the idea of a musical variety show going by pulling a common theme from the program: Friends. Charlene impressed upon the audience that, though some of the performers she had known for less than a couple of hours, they were friends on the basis of being friends of friends (of friends . . .).
Friends were a large part of my family's life, not only in recent years, but back in earlier times. When I sorted through family photos, many included the neighbors, fellow parishioners, coworkers, classmates, etc. And sometimes they got together, as friends, to share songs and good times. So, using Charlene's theme, how about songs about friends or songs sung with friends (by you or your relatives)? (If you choose the latter, be sure to explain how the song connects to the theme.) As a reminder, Sunday Singalong can be a full list of the lyrics, the posting of a verse and/or chorus, or just the title of the song. Or provide a link to the lyrics on line, an MP3, or a YouTube video.
One of my mother's favorite songs was "Ramblin' Boy," about two friends who stuck through everything together, even if it meant that one person's potential for a good job was jeopardized. My friend, Tom Paxton, wrote the song back in the early 1960s. My mother died in 1994, but up until just before her death, virtually every time we gathered as a family to share music, Mom would ask for "Ramblin' Boy." Maybe she was reminded of her own childhood best friends, or maybe she enjoyed the theme of being so close that the two were willing to sacrifice everything for the companion. Whatever it was, Mom's love of that song will always be part of my memories of family gatherings.
To hear & see Tom sing this song in fairly recent times, click on the YouTube concert at the 2008 Philadelphia Folk Festival; but to go back in time to 1965, click on the YouTube interview of Tom with Pete Seeger on Pete's Rainbow Quest television program where the two of them sang it together. (Note the difference: The second to last verse originally was "late one night in a railroad camp"; in more recent years, Tom changed that to ". . . a hobo camp." Whichever way, I don't think I can ever hear - or sing - that song without thinking about how much my mother loved it.) Thanks, Tom, for giving us a great song about friendship . . . and thanks for being a great friend!
So invite your friends and let's singalong about friends!

Well, Friend!ReplyDelete
My favorite song about friends is Michael W. Smith's "Friends". You can youtube it but here are the lyrics:
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes he's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Gets me every time.
Thanks for your contribution yesterday!

Jean, this song is a great Argentinean artist named Victor Heredia, is a beautiful song about two friends who have known little I hope the translation is well... I hope you like. Greetings.ReplyDelete
Tenderly friends
We were like friends who said tenderly
Two little vagabonds on the backs of river
In our little wooden boat
We were light of spring calving
At thirteen a child is not lying baby,
And I can assure you that a friend had never beaten.
We swore to be faithful friends for life,
Among brides and poems, laughter and brothels.
Never apart, imprisonment or death.
Always defend, teenage dream.
At seventeen life is utopia
And I can assure you that I did not like a friend anymore
We retraced the road traveled so often,
He lost his faith and sometimes we phoned.
Since our verbiage is not funny
I'm riding on the same river
He sold his dreams and shorter paths.
But I can assure you that I did not like a friend anymore
He lost his own and I also lost mine
Something we changed the sweet scent of summer
Backstage I play to be alive
The brush your dog every Sunday
I no longer remember our river
More I can assure you that I did not anymore,
As a friend I remember your smile and feel that fate
It's like sleeping a few bottles of wine
Some are preserved and others are vinegary,
And though time kills some beautiful souls
I always keep what was yours and mine,
And I can assure you that I did not like a friend anymore

Found in the same Texas junkyard as last week's '52 Buick this Sunbeam is a little crunched up but doesn't appear to be beyond repair from this angle. We are guessing this is an example of the more docile Alpine model simply because we can't imagine many people coming across a V8 equipped Tiger in this condition and not immediately dragging it home.

President Obama is on his way to Chicago right now (as of 12:30pm Friday) to offer his solutions to two major problems hurting our country: gun violence and the slumping economy.
The president is expected to arrive at O'Hare Airport around 1pm. From there, he'll head to Hyde Park Academy at 62nd and Stony Island.
The president will make the case for raising the federal minimum wage and investing in education. He's also expected to propose ways to reduce gun violence by calling for improving education, social programs, and mental health services.
The president's return to Chicago comes on the heels of Hadiya Pendleton's death. She was shot and killed at a park in North Kenwood, which is just a mile from the president's home.
20 male students at Hyde Park Academy will have the opportunity to meet the president. They were selected from a mentor and behavioral skills program.
"The city is chaos. We don't have no order. Everybody dying everyday," said John Perisee, a student at Hyde Park Academy who will have the chance to meet the president.
"The violence is getting out of hand around here. I'm glad he's coming to show some respect and bring attention to it," added Jamari Triggs, another student at Hyde Park Academy.
The president's visit to Chicago is the final stop in a three-day trip. He also went to Atlanta, GA and Asheville, NC. He launched the trip the day after his State of the Union address on Tuesday.

|#510 The Haircut
Ruth talk to Akane about her new hairstyle.
|Play Audio
Akane: Hi Ruth
Ruth: Hi
Akane: Hey did you get a new hair cut?
Ruth: Yeah I did actually.
Akane: Wow, it looks really nice!
Ruth: Oh you like it? Thanks.
Akane: It's shorter than before.
Ruth: Yeah, it's quite a lot shorter actually.
Akane: So where did you get it cut?
Ruth: Oh it's quite an interesting story. I went to a hairdresser just down the road. I saw a sign outside and it said that they were offering cheap haircuts so I went in there.
Akane: Oh, ok well, how cheap was it?
Ruth: Erm, well it was 1500 yen which is about £7.50.
Akane: Oh right, ok. So are you pleased with your new haircut?
Ruth: Erm, yeah, I am pleased. I'm pleased that it's shorter and it's better than it would have been if I had done it myself and I'm also pleased that it was cheap, but its not exactly what I was looking for.
Akane: Oh, so, would you go there again?
Ruth: Erm, probably not!
Akane: No? Well, what kind of person cut your hair?
Ruth: Oh it was quite interesting. Erm, it was really, it was quite a dirty hairdressers really.
Akane: Oh no, dirty!
Ruth: Well it was kind of a bit greasy and everybody in there…well, it was full of old men and I was the only girl in there.
Akane: Oh, ok
Ruth: And the haircut took probably 7 minutes.
Akane: Wow, that's really fast!
Ruth: Yeah, exactly and they didn't wash my hair or anything, so…
Akane: Oh no!
Ruth: But it was cheap and you know I like bargains so it wasn't too bad.
Akane: So there were a lot of old men there and no women?
Ruth: That's right.
Akane: So was it a barber?
Ruth: I hope not! I hope I didn't make the mistake of going into a barber but there was a woman in there cutting hair and she cut my hair
Akane: Oh that's a good sign.
Ruth: Yeah that was a good sign.
Akane: So do you think your haircut will last until you have to go back to England?
Ruth: Well I'm hoping so. It is quite short; it's a lot shorter than it was before so hopefully it will.
Akane: Ok, well I really like it.
Ruth: Oh that's really nice of you, thanks! Well, if you get your haircut don't go there!
Akane: Ok, good advice!

UR::DeletedRef - Represents an instance of a no-longer-existent object
my $obj = Some::Class->get(123);
print ref($obj),"\n"; # prints 'UR::DeletedRef'
$obj->some_method(); # generates an exception through Carp::confess
print ref($obj),"\n"; # prints 'Some::Class'
Object instances become UR::DeletedRefs when some part of the application calls delete() or unload() on them, meaning that they no longer exist in that Context. The extant object reference is turned into a UR::DeletedRef so that if that same reference is used in any capacity later in the program, it will generate an exception through its AUTOLOAD to prevent using it by mistake.
Note that UR::DeletedRef instances are different than Ghost objects. When a UR-based object is deleted through delete(), a new Ghost object reference is created from the data in the old object, and the old object reference is re-blessed as a UR::DeletedRef. Any variables still referencing the original object now hold a reference to this UR::DeletedRef. The Ghost object can be retrieved by issuing a get() against the Ghost class.
Objects unloaded from the Context using unload(), or indirectly by rolling-back a transaction which triggers unload of objects loaded during the transaction, are also turned into UR::DeletedRefs.
You aren't likely to encounter UR::DeletedRefs in normal use. What usually happens is that an object will be deleted with delete() (or unload()), the lexical variable pointing to the DeletedRef will soon go out of scope and the DeletedRef will then be garbage-colelcted.
UR::Object, UR::Object::Ghost, UR::Context

Book Review - Cold Killing by Luke Delaney
The cover says 'No motive, no mercy, no remorse.' This is a fairly cold book all round, full of grisly murders and a most unsympathetic killer. The detective team try hard to have some humanity but in the end this didn't quite gel for me. It is good but just seemed to miss being very good and I don't know why? I think I got annoyed with the wife of the lead detective who wasn't given much to do except to be either irritated or annoyingly caring about her husband's way of immersing himself in the killer's viewpoint. Perhaps that's how detectives' wives are and there isn't a resolution if they don't divorce but I was left wondering how it helped the story and I don't think it did. Some of the minor characters seem to be more interesting than the leads so I wanted to see more of them. Anyway – give it a go and see what you think! Wendy

Actually, Archer is closer to 13 months. But between work, the party and the holidays, I have not had time to sit and write this all down. And when I have had time, I haven't had the energy!
I will try to do a party post soon. But if you want to see some pictures, and are on instagram, you can search #archerisone ! Now, on to the stats!
As usual, some things are the same from previous months...
LengthYou are still TALL TALL TALL! You are almost as tall as your sister! It is so funny! You are about the height of a 15-18 month old I think. You are in the 95% for your age, and are often mistaken for being older.
ClothesYou wear all 18-24 months clothing! I finally cleaned out your closet, and did a little shopping for you. Hopefully we have what we need for winter!
NicknamesArch, Bub, Bubs, Bubba, Brother, Chubs, Chunky Monkey, BuddaBall, Chubbers, Archie-Boy (I am the only one who is allowed to call him that...he will NOT be called "Archie" if I can help it!)
I have heard several family members call him "Archie" lately...that must stop.
You are now on organic whole milk, and love it! The transition was really easy for you. You love all sorts of food, and the more flavor something has, the better! You love to eat guacamole, lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli, all fruits, and many veggies! You are also a BIG fan of meat! Any meat we put in front of you, you gobble down! I am so glad you are a good eater!!!
You pretty much go down at night without much fuss. You are taking two naps a day, and in general sleep really well. You very rarely get up at night. And honestly, it is about time! HA!
- Mama
- Dada
- Bye
- Hi
- Ava (he tries, but it comes out Awa)
- Uh oh
- Bite (comes out "bi bi")
Uh oh is your favorite word, and it is so funny when you say it! You have also started saying "mmmmm" when you are eating, and we are working on saying "woah!" I don't know why. I guess I think it would be cute!
Fun Stuff- some are the same from months 1-11!
* You smile and laugh a lot! Especially in the mornings! That seems to be your happiest time of the day, after you have had your "coffee" (aka milk).
* My prediction that you would be a full time walker by your 1st birthday was correct! You walk everywhere now, and are starting to try to run. You get better each day and we are now working on walking in shoes.
* You are so funny and have a great sense of humor! You love to laugh and play games!
* You play peek a boo, chase (with Wesley and Daddy mostly), and "monkey see, monkey do" (we do something, like stick our tongue out, then he does it) all the time.
* You love puzzles and books.
* You have finally decided that you love bathtime! And even enjoy it with sister in there with you! So we are back to double bathtime, and it is so fun! Messy, but fun! She loves to shampoo your hair for you, and you are such a sweet brother and let her!
*You are fascinated with hairbrushes! You love to carry them with you and you even try to brush mine and sister's hair! It is so sweet!
* You still love to be naked! You just smile and smile when you are stripped down! And you try to bolt from me when I am changing your diaper!
* You are pretty much only fussy when something is wrong or you are not getting your way, or you are tired. At least now we can identify WHY you are fussing. That makes things a lot better!
* You now have EIGHT teeth! 4 on top and 4 on bottom. You are working on your molars. They may be in but I am not brave enough to stick my fingers in your mouth.
* You are very tolerant of your sister, and have really started watching and smiling at her. I think the two of you are going to be very close! Although you do love to pull her hair!!! Y'all have started interacting more and more, and it melts my heart to watch!
* You still prefer mommy, but are starting to really like that daddy guy, too!
* You give kisses and blow kisses on a regular basis. And you are a BIG flirt!!!
* You are very shy around new people, but warm up fast, especially if it is a pretty girl! You love to wave and will just keep waving at someone.
* You still love to clap and you have even taught your sister how to clap again! She had lost that skill but has picked it back up from you! You are such a good brother!
* You have now started doing more with your right hand. So I don't know how your handedness will go? Time will tell! I don't care either way, but it is fun to watch you develop preferences.
* You still LOVE Billy, and he loves you! He doesn't like it when you cry at night, and he will get mommy up to see about you every time!
* You climb on everything now. From the couch to sisters bed to your anywhere chair...if you can reach it, it is fair game!!!
Archer- Happy 1st birthday sweet boy! Mommy loves you so very much, and I am so proud of the boy you are growing into. You are kind and sweet and patient, and so very loving. You are also really funny and happy. You are a great little brother to a very special sister, and I want you to always understand that, even though Daddy and I might have to spend a little more time or effort on Ava, we love you just as much and are just as proud of you!!! You are your own person, and Daddy and I will always love and support you no matter what you do in life- and I know you will do great things with your life! You are smart, sweet, handsome, and precious, and I am so blessed to be your mommy. I love you. We all love you!
-Mommy, Daddy, and Ava

Is there a way to print numbers from 1 to 100 without using any loops or conditions like "if"? We can easily do using recursion but that again has an if condition. Is there a way to do without using "if" as well? Also no repetitive print statements, or a single print statement containing all the numbers from 1 to 100.
A solution in Java is preferable.

|The U.S. Women's National Team after receiving the silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics.
Darci Miller, USA Volleyball Communications Intern, Phone: 719-228-6800, Email: email@example.com
USAV Facebook * @USA_Volleyball
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (August 11, 2013) – Before the London 2012 Olympic Games, then-U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon had a very simple message for his team: "We're going there to play volleyball."
"Hugh gave us a great perspective going into the Olympic Games," U.S. middle blocker Christa Harmotto (Hopewell Township, Pa.) said. "There is a lot of 'noise' around the Olympic games. Fun noise, but it can also be distracting if you allow it."
McCutcheon's message was successful as the U.S. dominated pool play in London, finishing with a 5-0 record. This included victories over rivals Brazil and China, and a mere two sets lost (one apiece to Korea and Brazil). The team entered the knockout stage of the Olympic tournament in first place overall with 15 points in its pool.
"It was a great run," U.S. libero Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) said. "We played well for long periods of time which is a sign of a great team."
Seeded No. 1 in the world going into the Olympics, the U.S. Women did not disappoint as the teams were slowly whittled down. In the quarterfinals, they swept the Dominican Republic. In the semifinals, they swept Korea. After two silver finishes in 1984 and 2008, they looked to be on the path to bringing home the first women's indoor volleyball gold medal to America.
But the third time was not the charm, as the U.S. fell to Brazil in the gold-medal match, 11-25, 25-17, 25-20, 25-17. The Brazilians slid across the court as the Americans swallowed the bitter pill that they going home with the silver.
However, the pains of defeat did not last long.
"For sure it stung and still stings, but you always learn something from a loss," Harmotto said. "I remember the point when the game was lost. I was disappointed for sure, but within five minutes the desire to pursue gold for another four years surfaced."
Harmotto and Miyashiro are both still training and competing with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, which is currently playing in the FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual women's international volleyball tournament. They both have the 2016 Olympics in their sights.
While gold on the court was the goal at London 2012, the team ended up walking away with a gold medal in perspective. Despite McCutcheon's message, the women say their experiences extended far beyond volleyball. Harmotto was able to spend time at a Bible study in the Olympic village in a group made of athletes from six different countries that spoke six different languages.
"Two realizations occurred," she said. "One, sport brings the entire world to one place. Two, that a common belief can bring people from anywhere in the world to be on the same page."
Ultimately, when the team stepped onto the medal podium, though the medals hung around their necks were not the color they'd hoped for, the women were nothing but grateful. For the opportunity, for those that helped them get to where they were, and for the bond they now share with other Olympians.
The Olympics itself was an honor to be a part of," Miyashiro said. "Americans genuinely love the Olympic Games and you can see it in conversations we have with fellow Americans. They are proud that USA is represented so well in the Games. People light up when you talk about the experience. It's pretty great to be able to share it with others."
Harmotto agrees and said she enjoys sharing her Olympic experience.
"When you become an Olympian you have an automatic platform," she said. "What you choose to do with that platform is your choice. For me, there have been opportunities to share my experience with young athletes, with the community and also with my current teammates on the National Team. I've learned that people can't relate to the Olympian, they relate to the person and the challenges and victories you went through to reach your dream."

SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) Damen Bell-Holter and Warren Niles scored 21 points apiece, helping Oral Roberts to an 86-77 victory Wednesday over Texas State in the first meeting between the schools since 1995.
Bell-Holter was 10 of 14 from the field and added a game-high eight rebounds, while Niles hit three 3-pointers for the Golden Eagles (5-4). Niles came into the game sixth in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (55.6 percent). Shawn Glover chipped in 15 points.
Matt Staff led the Bobcats (3-5) with 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting, and Joel Wright scored 17.
Texas State opened the game on a 15-4 run, but Oral Roberts responded with its own run and went ahead for good, 33-31, on Korey Billbury's jumper 4:07 before halftime and led 47-42 at the break. In the second half, the Bobcats pulled within 78-73 on Phil Hawkins' 3-pointer with 2:29 left but could get no closer.

Apple Extends Reality Distortion Field to AT&T Grid
It turns out EDGE is great for mail, and it works well for maps and a whole bunch of other stuff. Where you wish you had faster speed is … on a Web browser. It's good enough, but you wish it was a little faster."
Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. And adding millions of dollars of network infrastructure improvements to your widely maligned "2.5G" EDGE wireless data network does not make it 3G. But it might make it 2.6G, and that could be just enough to temper perceptions that your jalopy of a data network has hamstrung Apple's new iPhone.
Certainly, this seems to be AT&T's view, because beginning last night, subscribers to the company's wireless services began reporting increases in EDGE performance. Dramatic increases. EDGE throughput, which typically tops out at 100 kbps, began hitting 180 kbps or so, with some users reporting runs in excess of 200 kbps. This sudden bump in speed is likely the result of AT&T's "Fine EDGE" project, an effort to beef up EDGE in advance of the iPhone's official debut and ensure that AT&T doesn't end up a scapegoat if the device doesn't do well at market.
One last thing worth noting here: AT&T's 3G network currently tops out at about 380kbps and is expected to hit 1.5mbps (megabits per second) by year's end. So while the performance increase we're seeing in EDGE today is welcome, it really pales in comparison to what could have been …

New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes spent Labor Day with President Obama in Detroit, who spoke at a heavily union rally featuring speakers from organized labor. One of them, Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa, used just the sort of militant rhetoric against the Tea Party that would certainly have been condemned by the Times if coming from Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, or any other conservative politician or activist. Yet Hoffa was completely absent from Calmes's Tuesday story, "For Obama, a Familiar Labor Day Theme."
What Hoffa said: "President Obama this is your army!...Everybody here has got to vote. If we go back and keep the eye on the prize, let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong."
But Calmes didn't even mention Hoffa's presence as one of the rally's warm-up speakers:
Labor Day must seem like the movie "Groundhog Day" to President Obama. On Monday, for a third year he celebrated the holiday that honors workers with union members and their families in a political swing state, promising job-creation measures to reduce a 9 percent unemployment rate and calling on the Republican opposition to "put country before party."
Mr. Obama, speaking to a riverfront crowd estimated by the police to number 13,000, said he would propose "a new way forward on jobs" in his speech on Thursday to a joint session of Congress, which returns this week from its August recess.
Calmes certainly emphasized the rally's union label, which makes the Hoffa omission even more odd.
And almost three years into the Obama presidency, Calmes still won't hold Obama responsible for the woeful U.S. economy, and once again insisted against evidence that the stimulus is working.
Flying here with Mr. Obama were several union leaders, including Richard Trumka, president of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., who has been critical of his compromises with Republicans.
Also joining Mr. Obama was Senator Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, who, as Mr. Obama told his audience, gave the president a Labor Day address that President Harry S. Truman delivered in Detroit in 1948, the year of his come-from-behind election after campaigning against "do-nothing" Republicans.
Afterward, Mr. Levin said he told the president, "Here's a 'give 'em hell' kind of speech."
The president's Labor Day addresses trace the stubbornness of the crisis he inherited.
In 2009, he spoke to an A.F.L.-C.I.O. picnic in Cincinnati, just after the government reported 216,000 jobs lost in August -- relatively good news because it marked a second month of declining losses from a high of 750,000 as Mr. Obama took office. Six months earlier, in February, a Democratic-controlled Congress had passed his two-year, $800 billion stimulus program of tax cuts and spending.
"It's working," Mr. Obama said then. Most economists agreed, though many have since concluded that the package was not forceful enough to counter a recession and crises in the financial and housing sectors. Republicans, who generally opposed it, continue to say that the stimulus program failed and that they will not support another round.

Hamden expected to receive help from National Guard due to blizzard
HAMDEN -- This frozen Saturday, residents may have woken up to the most snow it's ever seen.
Chief Administrative Officer Curt Leng said the town was hit harder than expected, with Public Works employees recalling the Blizzard of 1978, saying this storm may have been even worse.
Leng said the unofficial snowfall numbers weighed in at 38 inches in some places.
Leng said unofficially, Hamden received the third most snow in state, behind Ansonia and Milford.
"What we ended up getting was sort of the worst case scenario," Mayor Scott Jackson said. "So it's actually gotten to the point that the level of snowfall we got exceeds the ability of the plows to move it effectively."
Leng said Public Works has switched to a scoop and dump method, placing snow in dump trucks and then carting it off to be deposited in local parks and other open pieces of land.
"People will have to be patient," Jackson said. "We will not have all the roads cleared today. It does not look like that is a possibility."
Jackson said the town's emergency management team, consisting of Public Works Director Craig Cesare, Police Chief Thomas Wydra, and Fire Chief David Berardesca, are in constant contact, coordinating the efforts of guardian services and snow removal.
Friday night at 10:30 p.m., during the height of the blizzard, Leng said Public Works resources were reallocated to make assisting guardian services its top priority. Saturday, assisting fire and police remains a priority, but Public Works is pulling double duty to get the roads cleared.
Jackson said the town is enlisting the help of private contractors, and assistance from the state should be coming as soon as state roads are cleared. He said state resources and the National Guard could show up as early as late Saturday, or Sunday.
Friday night, about 1,200 people lost power, according to Leng. Saturday, all but two homes have had power restored.
"I'm very thankful to the folks at UI for working very hard on that restoration," Jackson said. "Our UI representatives are in our emergency operation center, which is extremely helpful. This storm, at least at this point, the wind has been less than it could have been, so unlike prior storms, it's not turning into a power disaster, but a weather disaster."
Jackson said because of the severity of the snowfall the 24-hour rule on shoveling sidewalks has been lifted.
"There's too much snow out there. People are going to have to take it easy. Don't run out there and try to shovel, particularly if your road has not been plowed, because the plow is going to come and it's going to dump a couple feet of snow where you just moved a couple feet of snow," Jackson said. "So take it slow, take it easy, and don't spend too much time outside -- it's awfully cold out there."
Jackson said the three feet of snow outside people's doors speaks for itself, though.
Jackson said, "We're hardy New Englanders, and people say, "Hey, you know what, there's nothing I can do here except spend a little family time.""

Changed the title this morning ---- if you click on the white letters of the title on the top of the YouTube it will take you to the youtube and in the text portion you can click on the links to her false cross complaint, the lawsuit against the City, NYPD and IAB as well as other links and info on her violating my patient rights as well as my body, lying blaming me, NYPD fixing the savage attack and Internal Affairs also involved in covering up NYPD crime of coercion.
This morning I changed the title removing the word "violently", adding the word LIED and an exclamation mark to help the video in my goal for it to go viral as one year and 19 days and No Justice.
When I got an actual copy of her false criminal report also a serious crime I added "NYPD Fixed" to the title and added the link to her false criminal report because it proves beyond a doubt the NYPD and IAB fixed this savage crime and proof is no arrest and Det John Vergona was allowed to retire and the City of New York and NYPD chose to pay his legal bills and allow him to be served at One Police Plaza so I caught the NYPD and IAB go way out of their way to protect a cop guilty of coercion.

1 oz 2014 Birds of Prey Series | Peregrine Falcon Silver Coin
The first of four coins in the new and innovative biannual "Birds of Prey" series, the Peregrine Falcon swoops in and makes a striking entrance for the series with its grace and poise. The reverse of this coin features a design by Canadian artist Emily Damstra of a Peregrine Falcon or Falcon peregrinus in flight as it is about to strike.
The Peregrine is roughly the size of a crow with long compact feathers and pointed wings that allow it to reach speeds of more than 200 mph (322kph), making it the fastest animal in the world. The female peregrine, who is larger than here male partner, lays her eggs in a shallow niche that she often scratches out of the side of a mountain. The nestlings will spend the first 35 to 45 days of their life and begin hunting there. At six weeks the nestlings take to the sky and snatch food directly out of their parents talons, until they are finally ready to to leave the nest. This dynamic and revered predator makes a perfect beginning to this aggressive series.
The obverse features the Susanna Blunt effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the words "Elizabeth II 5 Dollars 2014"
This beautifully rendered coin is made from one ounce of 9999 pure silver and makes the perfect addition to any silver or wildlife collection. With a limited mintage of only 1 million coins worldwide this bullion priced coin is sure to sell quickly.
This item may arrive tarnished or in used condition. In multiples of 25 these coins will ship in a tube and in multiples of 500 they will ship in a monster box.

Do you wonder where you are going to put all of those things that you've accumulated over time? There just doesn't seem to be enough of room left in the basement or in the garage. Think about using the garage as a perfect place for storage. Using garage cabinets and other handy storage items is a great way to start that clean up job.
This is the best time to organize that confused clutter that you've let go over time. You may have a bicycle or two laying around, some fishing or ski boots just thrown in the corner, tools, or aerosol sprays and bottles that don't seem to be any place special. Maybe you even have a hose on the floor and that hose is probably all tangled up.
Simply by looking up the name Racor for home storage products will start you in the right direction. They have everything that you need to keep your things out of the way and protected. Your hose and even your power tools can be hung on the wall. Your bicycle can even be hung from the ceiling on a lift or on a type of folding bicycle rack on the wall. The lift is also a great way to keep your ladder off the floor and out of sight. Your ski boots can be off of the floor by using a simple unit called a ski rack. This is also a unique way to keep your skis. If you also love to golf, you can keep your clubs on a golf club rack.
There are also attractive garage cabinets to store your many important items. Not only are all of these storage products useful to keeping your place neat, they are also stylish and built to last. You can choose from a variety of sizes, shelves and shapes for your garage cabinets. They can be found in a handy stacking style. This way you can simply stack a new garage cabinet right on top of one you already have. It's a good idea to have a tall, two-door cabinet in the garage to store items such as rakes, or have four or five shelves to store cans, tools and other smaller items.
Some garage cabinets come with casters so that you can easily move them around. Your cabinet may have drawers, or sliding doors. Just because these cabinets are located in your garage doesn't mean they can't look good. The cabinets also come in different colors to suit your taste.
When you choose the garage cabinets that are right for you, you can simply purchase just one, or buy a whole storage system of cabinets. Once everything is picked up off the floor and put in its' place, you can just stand back and admire your efforts to keep a neat and clean garage.

Crane's Country Store in Williamsburg survives
and prospers selling work clothes
by Bob McEowen
Joe Crane stands
behind the old wooden counter of the store his father built in 1926
and makes sandwiches. One by one, customers waiting in line to check
out place their orders. Joe quickly assembles sandwiches and hands them
over, each loosely wrapped in a single fold of wax paper.
"One meat,
one cheese, one buck," Joe says, describing the lunchtime treat
so popular with shoppers at Crane's Country Store in Williamsburg.
"Some Saturdays we make over 200. Most days we make a hundred."
As popular as the
dollar sandwiches are, that's really not what brings people to
Crane's. Locals come because the store carries a little bit of
everything. Others come to see the collections of antiques perched above
shelves and hanging from the ceiling. Mostly, though, customers come
for men's work boots and clothing.
At a time when many
a country store withered and died as better roads made it possible to
easily travel to bigger towns with bigger stores Crane's found
a niche that keeps it a thriving business today. The store continues
to provide traditional country store items — everything from eggs
and milk to nuts and bolts to farm gates and cattle troughs —
but the store's bread and butter is Carhartt clothes and Wolverine
"The work
clothes end of it has been pretty important to our survival,"
Joe says. "We made it many years before we did this but work clothes
have been good to us."
The transformation
of Crane's Store began in the late 1970s when a nuclear power
plant was being built in Callaway County. Construction workers found
the tiny store, located just north of the I-70 Williamsburg exit, and
bought out its inventory of Carhartt brand work clothes. Bill Crane,
Joe's brother, ran the store at the time and recognized opportunity
when it knocked.
Bill began stocking
a wide selection of the popular coveralls, coats and bibs. Unlike chain
farm and home stores that ordered clothes once a season, Bill restocked
regularly to ensure he had what customers wanted. The workers came to
rely on the store and continued to buy from Crane's even after
the power plant was finished and they moved away to other areas.
"They took
our name with them," Joe says of the lifelong customers Crane's
made. "We do a lot of mail business. We've sent to most
every state and overseas. We have a customer we mail to in Australia."
Crane's has
had so much success with Carhartts it sells more of the brand than any
other single store in Missouri. Until recently the store did no advertising,
relying solely on word of mouth. Lately, David Crane, Joe's son
and the current manager of the store, began advertising on the radio.
"The (Carhartt) company has some money for advertising and they
want you to use it," he says, almost apologetically.
Another sign of
changing times was a recent special promotion that brought a team of
sales reps, towing a fancy display trailer to Crane's. With a
live broadcast on a local radio station, the 4-H club selling pie in
front of the store and free gifts for every Carhartt buyer, the store
was a buzz of activity one December Saturday.
But such fanfare
is the exception at Crane's, which continues to cling strongly
to its country store heritage.
The store began
as the Harrison and Crane, built in 1898, along the Boone's Lick
Trail at Mineola. Benjamin Rush Crane bought that store and renamed
it B.R. Crane and Sons. In 1920, Joe and Bill's father, Sam, moved
to Williamsburg and opened Crane and Sons six years later.
"It was built
as a general store and that's what we try to keep it today,"
Joe says. "We try to carry a general line — hardware, clothes,
food, produce, feed, farm supplies.
never sold beer or liquor."
The history of the
store is recalled in the original fixtures and the many displays of
antiques scattered among the crowded aisles. There are old tools and
dolls, baby carriages and pedal cars, oil lanterns and antique tobacco
pipes everywhere.
"The family
has been accumulators for years," Joe says. "My dad was
interested in arrowheads. My mother was interested in dolls and glassware
and furniture. Brother was interested in pocket knives."
Bill Crane —
fondly remembered by all who knew him — operated the store until
his death in 1999. In 1996, his nephew David returned to Williamsburg
and Crane's Store following a stint managing convenience stores
in St. Louis. Joe, a retired school principal, works alongside his son,
who is responsible for the few changes at the old store, which has been
served by Callaway Electric Cooperative since a member swap in 2003.
Although local customers'
charge accounts are still kept on slips of paper filed in slots behind
the counter, David orders groceries online with a laptop computer. Lunch
meats are now weighed on an electronic scale. But more than anything,
David saw the need to build on the work clothes business his uncle started.
It was David's
idea to expand the store, adding two rooms full of Carhartts and another
devoted to work boots. In addition, the store also carries a large selection
of camouflage hunting wear and upscale Filson brand outdoors clothing.
"If someone
is going to drive from St. Louis or someplace like that you've
got to have the selection, you've got to have a reason for them
to come out here," David says. "We have low prices and we'll
have it in stock. We carry a larger selection than most people do."
The steady sales
of work clothing not only allows the Crane family to continue a century-old
mercantile tradition but also means local residents still have a place
to go for gasoline, milk and bread.
20 miles to Fulton, 20 miles to Auxvasse, 20 miles to Montgomery City.
But it really doesn't make any difference because we've
got this store here," says Gene Austin, a local farmer who remembers
coming to town for 5 cent colas as a child.
These days, Austin
stops by Crane's most mornings for a can of Pepsi. He proudly
leads a visitor to a wall of news clippings and photographs on display
next to Carhartt overcoats and praises four generations of Crane merchants.
good business people and they don't try to hold you up,"
he says.
Besides, Austin says, the lunch deal can't be beat.
"It doesn't
matter whether it's the highest price cut of lunch meat or baloney,
it's still a dollar," he says. "It's the best
sandwich in town."
Country Store is located just north of I-70 at the Williamsburg exit.
The store is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

The collection, which at this time includes marriage records from 13 different counties, contains almost 600,000 images. Of those images, over 280,000 are now name search able. The majority of the records are the applications for marriage licenses. They do not give a great deal of information, however they do include the name of bride and groom, date and place of marriage and in some cases the ages of the new husband and wife. The record below is for the marriage of Emanuel Polikoff and Ida Cohen.
From the marriage license we gain the knowledge that Emanuel was 26 years of age and Ida was 22. We also notice that at the bottom of the document it states "subscribed and sworn to before me this 8th day of January A.D. 1910". With the collection covering 1860-1949, most of the couples should be search able in the various United States census records, which will help verify the information and possibly link them to their families. The collection can be searched for free at www.familysearch.org.

SC Legislative Leaders Living Beyond Their Means
The recent self-congratulatory column by state Reps. Bobby Harrell, Brian White and Bruce Bannister might comfort South Carolina taxpayers concerned about the state's financial well-being … if only it were true.
The authors state:
"Likewise, a government cannot sustain services by living beyond its means. … Washington prefers 'deficit spending' — spending money it doesn't have on things our nation doesn't need — while South Carolina's Constitution mandates a balanced budget. This requires our state to prioritize funding for education, health care, law enforcement and infrastructure before tackling other issues."
That sounds impressive — living within our means, avoiding deficit spending and addressing important needs first.
Unfortunately, that's far from the reality in South Carolina.
Let's look at transportation.
The state's highway system is crumbling. Twenty percent of our bridges are rated structurally deficient or are weight-limited. The S.C. Department of Transportation has projected that it will cost $1.3 billion annually over the next 20 years to bring the road network up to a safe standard. That's the existing system, with no new construction.
Last session the Legislature provided $500 million for repairs and maintenance.
How? By borrowing it — just like Congress — and imposing additional debt on South Carolina residents for another two decades. Our representatives have discovered it's easier to balance your budget when you can the cover the shortfalls with a loan.
In Congress, the debate over borrowing is raging. In South Carolina, deficit spending is not remotely controversial. It's a way of life.
Dig a little deeper and things become even more interesting. It turns out the state could have covered those costs without adding further debt, by using the funds allocated to the extension of I-526 to Johns Island — a project that does not appear on the state priority list.
Remember the authors' endorsement of families that prioritize their expenditures? It's a great rule, but it apparently does not apply to road projects.
Speaker Harrell is the primary proponent of this low priority project. Recently, he advanced a novel, and risky, scheme to fund it.
The state agency that is providing the money to pay for the project, the State Transportation Infrastructure Bank (STIB), ran out of bonding capacity about four years ago, leaving a funding shortfall of at least $136 million for the extension.
But in 2011, Harrell's appointees to the STIB pushed through a resolution to promise future bonding capacity, when and if it is available, to the project, which will not be until sometime in the next decade.
Even Congress hasn't gone that far, obligating future taxpayers not only to assume the liability of current debt, but directing the next generation to borrow even more money for our profligate expenditures.
To continue the household analogy, this is like taking money you should have used to fix the roof on your family's house and buying a new swimming pool instead.
And since your credit card is maxed out, you sign a contract to borrow money a decade from now, when you hope you (or, more likely, your children) will have paid your credit card down enough to be eligible for another loan.
This is a scheme Bernie Madoff might have admired, but fiscal responsibility it is not.
Besides the increasing burden of debt shouldered by South Carolina taxpayers, why should we care about the political manipulation of road dollars?
Because transportation is one of the state's most important responsibilities. It is not enough simply to maintain our existing roads and bridges. Our metropolitan areas are among the fastest growing in the country, with Charleston ranking twelfth out of the 381 metropolitan areas in the U.S.
To protect South Carolina's quality of life and its economic future, we will need to expand our capacity to move people and freight.
This will take true leadership locally and in Columbia, because it will require hard choices about what we can afford and what we cannot. It will mean refraining from "spending money we don't have on things our state doesn't need."
The first step will be for our leaders to tell the unvarnished truth about our infrastructure needs and our financial circumstances, instead of patting themselves on their collective backs with smug comparisons to the U.S. Congress.
Dana Beach is the executive director of the S.C. Coastal Conservation League.

The arch on a gravestone, a visually strong image, is generally accepted to represent the passage to heaven. Think about it: When you see an arched grave marker, it's not too far fetched to imagine stepping through as though it were a doorway.
Most arches I have seen are shared stones—husband, wife; mother, father—which makes me think that the two pillars supporting the arch are symbolic as well.
So far, the arches I have come upon are large arched memorials, but I am keeping an eye out for a simpler marker with an arch carving on its face.

Okay, I've updated the homenode layout to add a link to the new "vote history" information. It appears as "Your votes" after the new "For this user:" heading.
I've moved all non-user-entered information into the table of items that shows to the right of the monk image (when there is one). There used to be three links outside that table. The "send private /msg" link looked the most like user content since it was at the top of the user content with no visual distinction. It is now after the "For this user:" heading. The "Edit your user info" link is now called "Profile" in the new "Edit your: Profile, Settings" entry. The "Settings" link goes to User Settings. I also made the "Scratchpad:" links on one's own homenode not so verbose.
I think the much more prominent location of "Edit your: Profile" will improve the fairly common situation of people having a hard time finding where to, for example, change their password. And I much prefer having the non-user-entered information much more clearly separated.
I hope most of y'all find this to be an improvement as well.
