Syntace, the maker of high end German components have been busy this year, with new stems, handlebars and wheelsets. Their partnership with Liteville keeps growing, and they're revamping both of bike companies two models. Syntace has a couple of interesting new products for 2013 that are oriented towards the 29er crowd. The FlatForce stem has a negative 6 degree rise (-12mm), and comes in 44mm, 55mm, 66mm and 77mm lengths, and includes titanium hardware. It has the same rectangular shape and wide bar clamp as their MegaForce stem, which offers increased torsional rigidity, and for weight savings, it utilizes extensive internal sculpturing.
As an interesting side note, the Syntace design engineer got the idea for its shape when his child was watching Ice Age, and he saw the Scrat the squirrel (mix of the word's squirrel and rat), with his pronounced saber-toothed snout.
He got the idea for the MegaForce stem rectangular shape, when he observed a loaf of bread that his Wife was making, and he noticed how the risen bread naturally chose that shape. Sometimes designs come from the strangest places!
The Vector 7075 aluminum and carbon handlebars get a couple of new versions, and a name changes for each of the seven shapes, to designate their rise and material they're made from. The new carbon additions are the High 5, Low 5 and Low 10, which have a +5mm, -5mm and -10mm rise respectively, all of which are 740mm wide.

Mommy Mailbox Grab Box March 2018 Review
Everything came in a regular sized Mommy Mailbox box, but this box was so heavy! I really can't believe how much they were able to pack into this tiny box. It was so much fun to open and see what was inside. I received a total of 20 items, 14 of which were from previous boxes, but the rest I'm not sure about, so if you are a regular subscriber, you might get repeat items, just FYI!
Canvas Navy Tassel Hoop Earrings – Retail Value $14.00 (From the December 2017 Mommy Mailbox).
There were a total of three jewelry items in this box, which I think is the perfect amount. These little tassel earrings are just enough of a statement for me as I tend to keep my earrings on the smaller side. They are fun and casual and perfect for dressing up my everyday look.
Olive + Piper Leah Studs in Champagne – Retail Value $32.00 (from the October 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
These feel a little more costume-like to me with the big jewels, but you can see from the detailed back that they are a nice quality. They are a mix of glass crystals with a 14k gold plating and titanium posts. They are just sparkly enough for me to feel feminine without feeling gaudy and the pale colors make them fairly versatile.
Lucky Feather Shine Bright Bar Necklace – Retail Value $18.00 (From the November 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
This necklace is 14k gold plated zinc and as you can see it can be worn at either 16" (too tight for me!) or 18" long. While it is not the highest quality, so far it has held up to everyday wear and even my toddler son pulling on it.
I love the simplicity of this necklace and that it can be worn every day and go with just about anything. The length is just long enough that the neckline of your top shouldn't matter and the gold adds a hint of flare.
Cashmere Scarf – Estimated Value $75.00 (from the October 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
This scarf was a Mommy Mailbox exclusive in the October box and the pink color was for Breast Cancer Awareness Month theme. This is 100% cashmere and I kept the estimated price from October's review even though that actually seems on the lower end for cashmere that is not a blend.
This scarf is so soft and luxurious. It is also quite large and can easily be worn as a shawl as well.
Bryt Socks – Value $12.59 USD (£8.95. From the August 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
Bryt socks began as a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of boosting confidence through fun and colorful socks. These have no-slip cuffs and reinforced heels for comfort and they certainly are the quirkiest socks in my drawer!
Stonework Studio Yoga Mat Cleanser (6.67 oz bottle) – Retail Value $14.95 (from the September 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
This yoga mat cleanser is made from a mix of witch hazel, distilled vinegar, and essential oils. The smell alone makes your mat feel fresher and doesn't leave you smelling chemicals during your next downward facing dog. Plus the handle is designed to not break in your gym bag!
Rifle Paper Co. Bon Voyage Travel Memoir – Retail Value $15.00
Rifle Paper Co. has such detailed and beautiful designs and this Travel Memoir was no exception. I love the colors they used and that the actual pages are cream with gold lines. The cover is made of linen which feels very durable. Overall it is such a nice quality that it will make the perfect gift for anyone taking a trip.
I Sleigh Mug – Estimated Value $6.00 (From the December 2017 Mommy Mailbox. I updated this to reflect a lower value after reading some of the comments from December's review!)
This mug was a Mommy Mailbox exclusive in the December box and came with the hot cocoa and spoon detailed below. The mug itself is very simple and has just a bit of iridescent shimmer. It's a cute play on words for the holidays and will make a great gift come Christmas!
Ghirardelli Hot Cocoa Mix Packet– Retail Value $1.00 (From the December 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
Who doesn't love hot cocoa? Especially when it's from Ghirardelli! This was a nice little treat to receive along with the Peppermint spoon below. Even though it's April, we are still expected to get more snow or at least some colder weather so I'm looking forward to enjoying this on a chilly day to warm me up!
Melville Candy Chocolate Peppermint Spoon (0.5oz) – Estimated Value $2.00 (Buy 24 for $49.99. From the December 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
Melville Candy has such fun treats! They seem to be pretty creative and offer nice seasonal options! I'm sure this was a perfect treat to receive in the December box with chocolate, peppermint, and marshmallows. I am certainly looking forward to enjoying it with my hot cocoa soon!
Sailor Paper Company Gift Tags – Retail Value $5.00 (from the November 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
These little handmade chalkboard gift tags are a handmade item from an Etsy shop. There are 8 tags with 4 different designs and I am sure they will come in handy for the holidays. They are really cute, gender neutral and I love that they come from such a small shop on Etsy!
Ocean Elemental Grateful Heart Bath Bomb (5 oz.) – Retail Value $7.95 (from the November 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
This bath bomb is a decent size and it's packaged so nicely with the orange sparkly ribbon that matches the bath bomb inside. I can see why they included it in the November box with these pretty fall colors! This has notes of citrus and berry and will make a nice, relaxing bath for a tired mama.
Illume Go Be Lovely Bar Soap in Sugared Blossom (6.4oz) – Retail Value $8.00 (from the October 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
How pretty is this soap? Just from the packaging, you can tell it is luxurious, especially for a bar soap. This has notes of jasmine, Italian citron, and Tahitian vanilla bean. I really don't ever use bar soaps, but this is so pretty that I might just have to display it in my bathroom somewhere!
Jersey Shore Cosmetics My Lash Secret Eyelash Curler – Retail Value $30.00
I was happy to receive this beauty tool – eyelash curlers are one of those things that I use so rarely that I never invest in a decent one. The silicone cushion on this one seems a little firmer than most and it even came with an extra cushion once that one wears down!
Lauren Brooke Cosmetics Eco-Friendly Cheek Brush – Retail Value $17.00
This brush is incredibly soft and has the perfect angle on it for building color on your cheeks. This eco-friendly brush is natural, vegan-friendly and has a bamboo handle. While I have a brush set that I am happy with, this will be a nice one to throw into my bag when traveling!
Jersey Shore Cosmetics Natural Radiant Gold Leaf Highlighter (0.15oz) – Retail Value $22.00
This highlighter (swatched below) looked so crazy gold to me when I first opened it that I was a little afraid to try it, but it goes on so light that it's hard to overdo it. It was very buildable and I felt like it gave me the most natural, shimmery glow. Even though yellow tones are not usually good for my skin, I felt very pretty and glowy in this. Plus it's 100% natural & vegan, and paraben-free.
Lip Primer by Cargo Cosmetics (0.15oz) – Retail Value $19.00 (from the November 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
I used this lip primer before putting on the Lord & Berry gloss (both of which are swatched below) and I really felt like it made a difference in how the gloss went on. This is a pretty lightweight primer. It was smooth and helped to create a matte texture on my lips that seemed to even them out before applying a top coat of gloss.
Lord & Berry Skin Lip Gloss in Touch Up (0.203 oz) – Retail Value $16.00 (from the July 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
I was afraid that this gloss was going to be way too dark and possibly even goopy on my lips when I first saw it, but I'm happy to report that I was completely wrong! It went on so smoothly, was very lightweight and I really felt the color was so flattering. This is probably my new favorite makeup find!
Ofra Universal Eyebrow Pencil (0.04 oz) – Retail Value $13.00 (from the December 2017 Mommy Mailbox)
I have received this sample several times now in other beauty boxes and the problem is that I don't use anything on my brows, but it says you can also use it on your lips and eyes as well. It is water resistant and made from beeswax which is why I think it glides on so smoothly (swatched below). As for the color, it is supposed to be universal and work with many different hair colors, but since I'm brunette and this is brown, I can't really attest to that!
Orglamix Cream Eyeshadow in Goji (0.12oz) – Retail Value $19.00
This was a pretty unique product for me as it is 100% natural and made from coconut oil, which I think is awesome, but also makes for difficult application! The coconut oil hardens up so I had to really work at it to get the product out. I did love how smooth and moisturizing it felt though and while the color didn't seem like it would be flattering, it was pretty sheer so I think it works (swatched below)! It also seemed to stay on pretty well for a cream shadow!
These are the swatches of all the makeup from top to bottom: highlighter, lip primer, lip gloss, eyebrow pencil and eyeshadow.
In this photo, I have on the highlighter, primer, gloss, and eyeshadow.
Verdict: I was amazed at how much they were able to fit into this Grab Box! There was such a great variety of items inside and I really think I will use almost everything! Since I am a pretty new subscriber to Mommy Mailbox I didn't receive any repeat items, but even the items that were from previous boxes are items I don't think I would mind having doubles of for myself or for gifting! The promised value of the box was over $150 and the value I received was $347.49. This is an incredible value for a $42.95 box!
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes! As of publication, boxes are still available!

| 8.9°C Belfast
David Cameron will discuss the Ukraine crisis and EU reform with Herman Van Rompuy at Chequers tonight.
The Prime Minister and the European Council president are due to hold talks over dinner at the country retreat.
Downing Street said the "major areas" they would cover include "priorities" for improving the EU, as Mr Cameron pushes for change after pledging to hold a referendum on British membership if re-elected.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said "not enough progress" had been made implementing last week's Geneva agreement, designed to defuse tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
"We remain of the view that it should be seen through," the spokesman said. "It is important that progress is made in the coming days.
"I don't think enough progress has been made in recent days on this.
"I think you will see the UK, our partners such as the US, the EU as well... will keep making clear the importance of seeing quick progress on this."
Mr Van Rompuy, who has been touring Europe for meetings with leaders, is expected to stay the night at Chequers.

No problem. Thanks for letting me know.
I'm so glad to hear that. I always look forward to your threads. We have to beat Baltimore. Take the smugness off their faces.
Glad you got it!
The coin is actually from the Club level food "action stations". You first buy the coin, and then give that to the person at the "station" you choose. Not too many people just keep the coin and skip the food, so you shouldn't see too many others out there.
Like my Certification of Authenticity huh? That's a one of a kind, haha.
Yes Jordan, the box came in a few days ago, not sure how you crammed so much Bronco stuff into one box. Two favorite pieces have to be the coin and the signed picture from Miles to Myles. We're going to frame and hand that in the room. Also laughed at the authentication you put on the signed card. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and generosity. You have been a great friend to me. Myles will have a nice collection to start him off thanks to you.
Hey man, you PM box is full.
Did you ever get the box of Bronco stuff last week?
Let me know man thru here or PM.
Broncos goodie box on the way for Myles!
It's time this kid started having a real Bronco collection!
Having kids can be messy, your gonna need something to clean it all up!
Nahh, I never do the pre-season stuff, but LT was asking Robyn if I plan on doing the reg season again and I said Yes, what can I say I'm a sucker for the Broncos and game day! Hope all is treating you well my friend.
It's just WRONG that your name isn't under the Gameday thread. Just wrong!
That is all.....
Hey brother! I hope married life is treating you both well. Please say HI to Robyn for me.
I'm good lol! Just heard McBean is a Raven and Xanders got the ax.
team preacher
Bench Warmer
Ring of Famer

In this guide I will take apart the display panel on HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop.
You can use my instructions for removing and replacing the LCD panel with inverter board.
First, remove the battery.
There are five screw seals located on the screen bezel.
Remove all five seals with a sharp object. Remove all five screws found under the seals.
Insert your fingers under the bezel and start separating it from the back cover.
Wiggle the bezel to disengage plastic latches.
Continue removing the bezel.
LCD bezel has been removed.
You'll find the inverter board under the screen.
Carefully unplug cables from both sides of the inverter board. Remove the inverter and replace with a new one if necessary.
NOTE: some HP Pavilion dv9000 models come with dual backlight and require a dual inverter board. Instead of one connector on the right side (as it shown on the picture above) it has two connectors.
In the official service manual for HP Pavilion dv9000 I found the following part numbers:
Display inverters:
For use with Dual Lamp display panels 432959-001
For use with Single Lamp display panels 431391-001
Remove three screws from each side of the screen. These screws securing the hinges to the cover.
Now you can access the back side of the LCD panel.
Carefully remove the tape securing the video cable. Unplug the video cable from the connector.
Remove two screws from right side of the mounting bracket.
These screws securing the LCD panel to the hinges.
Remove the screen and replace it with a new one if necessary.
Note: On the picture above the single backlight lamp LCD is displayed.
The dual backlight LCD has two backlight cables.
In the official service manual for HP Pavilion dv9000 I found the following part numbers for LCD panels:
17.0-inch, WXGA+, TFT Dual Lamp display panel with BrightView 432954-001
17.0-inch, SXGA+, TFT Single Lamp display panel with BrightView 432953-001
17.0-inch, WXGA+, TFT Single Lamp display panel with BrightView 432952-001
LCD panel, bezel and inverter have been removed.
This model has a known issue – broken left hinge. In the next post I explain how to replace the broken left hinge.
You'll find instructions for removing the hard drive, memory, wireless card and keyboard in my previous post.

Call it a layer 8 reading fail, the PICNIC result or the well-known ID-ten-T error, the fact is that we sometimes cause havoc on a perfectly sane and healthy OS because of our own interaction with it... even if we cannot explain why.
Take, for instance, what happened to me last week. I started browsing the Web with my prefectly functional Mageia 2 Linux box. Meanwhile, a small voice coming from the back of my head was urging me to shut down the system and go do something safer, like locking myself out of the office not to have easy access to the computer. Yet, I chose to ignore the call of Wisdom and, after reading about the latest Java manace, I decided to run a test for rootkits on my system. That was when I lost my grip on reality and went down the rabbit hole.
I must say that I use Firefox and have NoScript, AdBlock Plus, and other add-ons for security. On top of that, I had disabled iced-tea. However, I ran the tests with rkhunter and found a worrying message: A rootkit called Gaskit was installed on my system!
Panic invaded my brain and the Windows mentality took over; in a second, I was trasported to a day four years ago, when virus infections were as dreadful as expected, and all my neurons went in zombie mode to format and reinstall the system.
Even so, I visited some forums and read that, after a Mageia update, rkhunter flashed false positives. I was familiar with false positives since my Windows days, but the zombie neurons had already multiplied and ate up my remaining sane-thinking ability. I began formatting.
Luckily, the format-reinstall process is accomplished with greater ease and speed in Linux than it takes in Windows: in about an hour and a half, the system was up and running as it was before my sanity collapsed.
Without the fear, I began reading more about how to actually test if Gaskit was installed or not. I tried the verifications and guess what: it had been a false positive all along!
I could almost sense the resentment coming from the computer.
From that experience, I learned that one should monitor oneself for stupidity before using a computer. We all know when we are being stupid, don't we?
And then, if the stupidity level is exaggeratedly high, we should simply walk away from the machine until we regain some sense.
The computer will be grateful.

Located in Saale-Unstrut, a region famous for castles and winemaking, the cathedral town of Naumburg looks back on a history of almost a thousand years and has many associations with Martin Luther and the Reformation.
Martin Luther stopped in Naumburg for the first time in 1521 on his procession to the Diet of Worms. Some 20 years later, in January 1542, he inaugurated his trusted friend Nicolaus von Amsdorf as the first Lutheran bishop at the cathedral.
The late-Romanesque/early-Gothic cathedral is today one of the most important cultural monuments from the High Middle Ages in Europe and is a leading attraction along the Romanesque Route. Also famous is 'Uta of Naumburg', one of twelve statues of the cathedral founders. This stone sculpture dating from the 13th century is a major work of the German Gothic style.
Naumburg is a picturesque town with cultural monuments from the Romanesque and Gothic periods, colourful town houses from the Renaissance and baroque eras and pretty little lanes. Fans of baroque music should be sure to visit the Church of St. Wenceslas with the largest Hildebrandt organ in the world. It is considered the embodiment of Johann Sebastian Bach's ideal organ. Its chimes can be heard several times a week from May to October as part of a short concert at midday.

I was just curious as to why I see many people in this forum using BufferedReader over the Scanner class? I don't believe I've heard of it before I came here, I've just always used the Scanner class.
Is there any particular reason why someone would choose BufferedReader? I've not run into any problems or confusing using Scanner, but if there is a better advantage of BufferedReader, I may start using it.

I'm linking up with Five Minute Friday where we are instructed to "Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write." This week's prompt is "Try."
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
I remember it like it was yesterday. Many years ago I woke up, swollen eyed, and stomach caved in from an emotional meltdown. My roommate at the conference centre where our retreat was being held, pulled out her cell-phone.
"I think the Holy Spirit is telling me I need to share this song with you," she said. And from the speakers of her phone, Amy Grant's voice sang, "Don't try so hard."
Well, of course tears sprang to my eyes more! Yet, also a comfort. The Spirit was letting me know that all my trying to be okay, to be better, and more perfect was unnecessary. I was (am) okay just the way I am. At the time I was trembling in comparison, and in insecurity, believing I could never be perfect enough, and my inner critic was telling me "there's something wrong with you!"
But Amy Grant's words spoke the truth I needed to hear.
"He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard"
The goal, my friends, is never to try to be perfect, but to press on toward the knowing of who you ALREADY ARE as His beloved–loved just 'cause you're you.
Visit Five Minute Friday for more inspiring reads from fine writers!

Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement (formerly)
Slytherin (possibly)
- "You realise that I am on my way downstairs to interrogate your wife, Cattermole? In fact, I'm quite surprised you're not down there holding her hand while she waits. Already given her up as a bad job, have you? Probably wise. Be sure and marry a pure-blood next time... But if my wife were accused of being a Mudblood — not that any woman I married would ever be mistaken for such filth — and the Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement needed a job doing, I would make it my priority to do this job, Cattermole. Do you understand me?"
- —Yaxley intimidating Reginald Cattermole (actually Ronald Weasley in disguise)[src]
Yaxley was a wizard and a Death Eater who fought during the First Wizarding War. Yaxley did not search for Voldemort after his first downfall, but this was forgiven after Voldemort's return in 1995. Yaxley also fought at several battles of the Second Wizarding War, such as the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. When Voldemort was in control of the Ministry of Magic, Yaxley became the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Yaxley went on to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, where he was subdued by George Weasley and Lee Jordan. His fate after Lord Voldemort's final defeat, however, is uncertain.
First Wizarding WarEdit
Yaxley was one of the many Death Eaters who fought in the First Wizarding War. After Lord Voldemort's first downfall, Yaxley managed to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban. Like many others, Yaxley believed Voldemort had been finished and, thus, did not attempt to find him.[4]
Second Wizarding WarEdit
Yaxley returned to Voldemort after his rebirth. Yaxley became, once more, an active Death Eater during the Second Wizarding War.[5] In July, 1996, Yaxley participated in the kidnapping of Garrick Ollivander alongside Fenrir Greyback and another Death Eater. He also participated in the destruction of the Millennium Bridge.[6]
Battle of the Astronomy TowerEdit
- "We've got orders. Draco's got to do it. Now, Draco, and quickly."
- —Yaxley pressures Draco.[src]
In June of 1997, Yaxley was among the group of Death Eaters who led an assault at Hogwarts Castle. Along with Alecto and Amycus Carrow and Fenrir Greyback, they managed to overpower the Order of the Phoenix members who were assigned to guard the palace, and reached the Astronomy Tower, where he pressured Draco Malfoy to do the deed Voldemort ordered him to perform: murder Albus Dumbledore.[7] Yaxley was determined to follow the orders, attacking Greyback when he moved forward to attack Dumbledore. Before Draco could bring himself to kill him, Severus Snape arrived and, seeing Draco unable to do it, murdered the Headmaster himself, blasting the body from the tower. The Death Eaters had stood aside due to a fear/respect for Snape's presence, as Yaxley did not try to argue.[7]
The Death Eaters proceeded to flee from the castle, before any of the Order of the Phoenix summoned Ministry of Magic reinforcements. While getting down from the Astronomy Tower, Yaxley was hit with a Full Body-Bind Curse by Harry Potter.[8]
Later, when Ministry of Magic officials searched the Tower, they found Yaxley[9] and he was likely arrested and taken to Azkaban.
Ministry take-overEdit
- "Severus, here. Yaxley — beside Dolohov."
- —Voldemort to Severus Snape and Yaxley when they almost arrive late to the meeting.[src]
A few weeks later, Yaxley had already broken out of Azkaban. Yaxley attended the Death Eater meeting at Malfoy Manor in July of 1997. During that meeting, he reported that he had placed Pius Thicknesse, then head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, under the Imperius Curse as part of Lord Voldemort's plan to take over the Ministry of Magic. Many of his fellow Death Eaters were impressed, though Voldemort believed Snape's estimate of when Harry Potter would be removed from his relatives' home over Yaxley's.[10] Yaxley fell for the trap set by Alastor Moody on that count, whereas Snape knew the true date, setting the stage for the Battle of the Seven Potters.
As Head of the Department of Magical Law EnforcementEdit
On 1 August, 1997, Voldemort's plan and Yaxley's efforts succeeded when Minister Rufus Scrimgeour was killed and Pius Thicknesse became the puppet Minister for Magic.[11] The Ministry fell under Voldemort's control and Yaxley, as an inner-circle Death Eater, was made the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.[5] In this role, he participated in at least some of the interrogations and harassment of Muggle-borns, along with Dolores Umbridge, Head of the new Muggle-Born Registration Commission, while using his cruelty and new authority to intimidate lower ranking employees such as Reginald Cattermole. The Ministry also designated Harry Potter as Undesirable Number One, under the excuse of him being wanted for questioning of Dumbledore's death. Snatcher groups were then dispatched to capture any Muggle-borns who refuse to register, along with Order of the Phoenix members and Harry himself.
The Death Eater led Ministry also took over Hogwarts. Severus Snape was made Headmaster, and Amycus and Alecto Carrow were appointed Professors.[12]
Infiltration of the Ministry of MagicEdit
- Mary Cattermole: "They're frightened, they think that I might not come home —"
- Yaxley: "Spare us. The brats of Mud-bloods do not stir our sympathies."
- — An exchange during the interrogation of Muggle-born Mary Cattermole.[src]
Yaxley played a major role in this infiltration alongside Dolores Umbridge. During Umbridge's interrogations of Mary Cattermole as part of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, Yaxley sat next to her observing the case, refusing to pity her children while mocking her questionnaire answers, and having intimidated the man who disguised as her husband earlier to get his office dried in time. When the trio reached the courtroom they saw Umbridge obtained the locket and at that moment they acted. Harry, under the Invisibility Cloak, Stunned Yaxley. When Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley freed the Muggle-born prisoners, Yaxley woke up and pursued angrily.
Yaxley madly began to chase the trio as he ordered all Floo Network transportation to be sealed. At the last moments he grabbed Hermione's arm as the trio Disapparated. Hermione managed to evade him by using a Revulsion Jinx, but not before revealing the location of 12 Grimmauld Place. Thus, the house was no longer a safe hideout for the trio while leaving Ron splinched. After this the trio had to go to their tent in the forest. Harry speculated that Yaxley was bringing fellow Death Eaters into the house via Apparition.[12]
Battle of HogwartsEdit
- Yaxley: "Definitely heard something. Animal, d'you reckon?"
- Dolohov: "That head case Hagrid kept a whole bunch of stuff in here… Time's nearly up. Potter's had his hour. He's not coming."
- Yaxley: "Better go back. Find out what the plan is now…"
- — Yaxley and Dolohov guarding the Forbidden Forest.[src]
In 2 May, 1998, Yaxley participated in the Battle of Hogwarts. He and Antonin Dolohov stood guard in the Forbidden Forest during the brief interlude that followed Voldemort's ultimatum to Harry Potter. They were followed back to the Death Eater camp by Harry under his Invisibility Cloak.[13] During the final moments of the battle, Yaxley was defeated by Lee Jordan and George Weasley. His ultimate fate is unknown, though if he survived, he was most likely captured and sent to Azkaban along with the rest of the surviving Death Eaters.[14]
Physical appearanceEdit
Yaxley was described as having hard, blunt features[10] and an unpleasant smile. He was relatively tall,[10] and has blond hair that he prefers to tie back.
Personality and traitsEdit
Yaxley, like many other Death Eaters, was obsessed with blood-purity.[12] In 1997, he became the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and he, along with Dolores Umbridge, imprisoned muggle-borns in Azkaban. During one of such Yaxley laughed at Mary Cattermole, who was afraid of what would happen to her children, saying that "the brats of Mudbloods [did] not stir [his] sympathies",[12] indicating that he despises even half-bloods, despite Voldemort permitting them to continue living in the Wizarding community.
Yaxley is a proud and ambitious person, as he described in detail on how he subdued Thicknesse, as well as eagerly speaking of the plan to move Harry, in hopes of attracting more praise from Voldemort and fellow Death Eaters.[10] He can also be rather harsh with his fellow Death Eaters when they overturn the Dark Lord's orders, as he violently blasted Fenrir Greyback aside for trying to kill Dumbledore without letting Draco a chance, though he did step aside when Snape stepped silently forward to accomplish the deed, showing that Yaxley may have a certain level of feared respect for him.[7] During his tenure as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he was very intimidating to the lower-ranked employees: he used his authority to intimidate Ron Weasley, disguised as Reginald Cattermole, to get his office dried in time, while ignoring a greeting from another wizard, showing his lack of manners;[5] though he did nod approvingly at Harry, disguised as Albert Runcorn, showing he still has a level of respect for who he considers to be a fellow pure-blood supremacist, However, he is not completely loyal to Voldemort, as he did not attempt to find him after his first downfall.
Lord VoldemortEdit
Yaxley became a Death Eater and served Lord Voldemort around the First Wizarding War. When Voldemort met his first downfall at the hands of Harry Potter, Yaxley was not loyal enough to try to find him, as he managed to feign his way out of the Ministry's search by claiming to be under the Imperius Curse. Thirteen years after this, Yaxley returned to his master's revival, and was forgiven for his loss of faith.
Following this, Yaxley was imprisoned into Azkaban during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, but was released during a breakout. Despite this, he managed to remain in Voldemort's confidence, and was praised by Voldemort for being able to subdue Pius Thicknesse. After the takeover of the Ministry, Voldemort placed Yaxley as the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, showing great faith in him despite the past lack of faith and the imprisonment. This contrasts how Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange were treated, whose past failures had led to a loss of faith and respect amongst the ranks of Death Eaters despite the latter's unyielding loyalty.
Death EatersEditAmongst his fellow Death Eaters, Yaxley has some mixed relationships. He reacted violently against Fenrir Greyback for trying to kill Albus Dumbledore when it was assigned to Draco Malfoy, though in all fairness Fenrir was not an official Death Eater, and therefor received little respect amongst them. Yaxley, at the very least, respected Severus Snape with a sense of fear, as he backed down when Snape stepped forward to kill Dumbledore. He received many praises from the Death Eaters when he went into detail in subduing Thicknesse, though he seemed a little envious when Snape was receiving slightly more attention and praise from Voldemort.
Ministry of Magic EmployeesEdit
During his tenure as the Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcements, Yaxley abused his position by intimidating the less-ranking employees, such as Reg Cattermole, especially for marrying a muggle-born, and threatened him to have his office dried out within one hour or have his wife face even more dire consequences. He also ignored a wizard's greeting, showing little respect for those he did not deem worthy. However, he did nod approvingly at Albert Runcorn, showing respect for a fellow pure-blood supremacist. Seeing Yaxley scold and intimidate the trio in disguise, other employees refrained themselves from entering the same lift as them, as though in fear of infection.
Muggle-borns and Half-bloodsEditAs a Death Eater who believed in blood purity, Yaxley shows hatred and contempt for Muggle-borns and Half-bloods alike. During his time in assisting Dolores Umbridge in prosecuting the captured Muggle-borns, he ruthlessly sneered at their despair and ignored their pleas, and even showed distaste for half-bloods due to what he considers to be impurity. He made it clear that he would never marry any woman who would be even mistaken for a "Mudblood", but that if she was, he would sooner focus on his job than care for her.
Magical abilities and skillsEdit
- Imperius Curse: Yaxley was skilled in the use of the Imperius Curse, being able to keep Pius Thicknesse under his control throughout the entire war. However, Yaxley did claim that he had a difficult time in subduing Thicknesse.
- Nonverbal magic: Yaxley hit Greyback with a powerful knock-back jinx, possibly Ventus, without speaking an incantation.[7]
- Duelling: Yaxley was a very proficient duellist, able to hold his own extremely well against former duelling champion Filius Flitwick and fight him to a stalemate while Antonin Dolohov, one of Voldemort's most powerful Death Eaters, was defeated by Flitwick. Yaxley was amongst the Death Eaters who managed to last until the end of the Battle of Hogwarts and it took George Weasley and Lee Jordan to finally take him down.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Yaxley is portrayed by Scottish actor Peter Mullan in the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
- It is likely that Yaxley is related to Lysandra Black (née Yaxley), wife of Arcturus Black II and maternal grandmother of Arthur Weasley, and thus to the Black, Crouch, Longbottom, and Weasley families, albeit distantly.[15]
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows he is mentioned by a passing ministry official muttering about him being promoted again, although he is not seen. His role during the Infiltration of the Ministry of Magic is taken instead by a senior Ministry official (who takes "Reginald Cattermole" and "Mafalda Hopkirk" into a meeting) and by a Death Eater (who grabs Ron Weasley at one of the fireplaces).

Notes and referencesEdit

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Rosacea
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Living With Rosacea]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
The steps that you can take to help manage your rosacea are mostly focused on reducing flare-ups. A number of factors can cause your rosacea symptoms to flare up; however, these factors vary among people with rosacea. It is unlikely that every trigger will cause you to have a flare-up. Common triggers include:
- Emotional stress
- Sun exposure
- Hot weather
- Alcohol or caffeine
- Very hot or spicy foods
- Exercise
- Wind
- Hot baths
- Cold, windy weather
- Hot drinks
- Scrubbing, rubbing, or massaging the face
- Irritating cosmetics, other toiletries, and skin care products
The steps you can take to help reduce your risk of a flare-up and to manage your symptoms when they occur include the following:
- ]]>Reduce stress.]]>
- ]]>Protect yourself from certain weather conditions.]]>
- ]]>Watch what you eat and drink.]]>
- ]]>Exercise in moderation.]]>
- ]]>Be gentle with your skin.]]>
- ]]>Talk to your doctor or dermatologist.]]>
You can also take steps to ]]>manage the emotional effects]]> of rosacea.
Reduce Stress
You can reduce stress]]> by taking care of yourself. This means eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of sleep, exercising regularly, and having enough time for rest and recreation. A variety of relaxation techniques can also help you to cope more effectively with stress. Examples include meditation, deep breathing, yoga, and biofeedback.
Protect Yourself From Certain Weather Conditions
Sun, hot weather, humidity, cold, and wind can trigger rosacea flare-ups in many people. The following tips can help you to protect yourself:
Sun exposure —Stay out of the sun between 10 AM and 2 PM during the summer. Wear a gentle, non-irritating sunscreen with at least an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher all year long. A wide-rimmed hat can help shade your face.
Heat, humidity —Try not to overexert yourself during a flare-up of rosacea. If possible, stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment. Keep your face cool with a cold cloth. Sip cold drinks or chew on some ice.
Cold or windy weather —Limit your time outdoors. Cover up with ski masks or scarfs. Use a moisturizer with SPF on your face daily to protect it from the drying effects of cold and wind.
Watch What You Eat and Drink
Keep track of foods and beverages that cause your symptoms to flare up. If you notice that your rosacea gets worse after eating certain foods, avoid them or make some modifications. Some people with rosacea find that they have to reduce their intake of alcohol or avoid it completely. Hot spices such as white and black pepper, red pepper, paprika, and cayenne can cause a problem for some people. It may also help to reduce the temperature of hot beverages such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
Exercise in Moderation
Intense exercise can cause a flare-up of rosacea symptoms in some people. This may be the result of increased blood flow to the face or overheating. Therefore, make every effort to stay as cool as possible during exercise. Avoid heavy exercise and try shorter, more frequent workouts. Exercise during cooler parts of the day like early morning or early evening. When you exercise inside, make sure that you have proper ventilation such as open windows, fans, or air conditioning. Wear clothing that "breathes," and keep a cool, wet cloth around your neck during hot weather. Also, keep a spray bottle with cool water for your face.
Be Gentle With Your Skin
Treat your face gently. Avoid any skin care products that cause stinging, burning, or itching. It's best to use skin care products with little or no added fragrance. Use a smooth and gentle cleanser, and don't use rough facecloths, brushes, or sponges. Keep water temperature lukewarm when bathing or washing your face. Don't use saunas or hot tubs. Men should use electric shavers rather than a blade.
Talk to Your Doctor or Dermatologist
Talk to your doctor or dermatologist about how you can reduce your risk of triggering flare-ups of rosacea. Certain medical conditions such as menopausal hot flashes, fevers, and systemic diseases can cause flushing and trigger a rosacea flare-up. Drugs such as vasodilators and topical steroids can also aggravate rosacea. Get advice from your doctor about how these or other situations can affect rosacea.
Reducing the Emotional Impact of Rosacea
Rosacea changes the appearance of your skin. You may feel embarrassed and self-conscious as a result of these changes. It is quite normal to feel this way, but you can help turn this situation around by taking a few steps. First, get the medical treatment you need to keep your rosacea under control. Second, make the lifestyle changes you need to reduce flare-ups. Lastly, you can apply makeup to hide blemishes, tiny blood vessels, and redness. Green-tinted prefoundations are recommended to mask redness, and can be covered with a skin tone foundation. Powders are not recommended.

I listened to the debate today on Bloomberg between Ron Paul and Paul Krugman.
Link if video does not play: Krugman Says Fed 'Reckless' to Allow High Jobless Rate
I do not feel Ron Paul did a very good job at making his points, and I certainly wish Ron Paul was a more charismatic speaker.
However, Paul Krugman made at least one preposterous statement. In contrast, Ron Paul simply failed to drive home his points clearly and precisely.
Said Krugman "The reckless thing is to allow mass unemployment to continue".
The statement is absurd. Although the Fed does have a dual mandate on employment and inflation, as I have pointed out on numerous occasions, the Fed's Dual Mandate Is Mission Impossible
Here's the deal.
1. The Fed can control money supply but it will have no control over interest rates (or anything else).
2. The Fed can control short-term interest rates, but then it would have no control over money supply (or anything else).
That is the full and complete extent of the Fed's "control". Note that neither price stability nor unemployment is in either equation. The reason is the Fed controls neither.
The result of all the recent Fed printing is a big yawn, otherwise known as excessive reserves as the following chart shows.
Excess Reserves of Depository Institutions
Does that chart look like the Fed is in control? If so, control of what?
Excess Reserves Then and Now
The above "Mission Impossible" snip was written August 27, 2009. Excess reserves now look like this.
Printing More Money Likely to Cost Jobs
The Fed could print another $trillion tomorrow and I highly doubt if it would do anything but cost jobs. Yes, that's right "cost jobs".
How so?
It would likely increase speculation in food and commodity futures, especially energy. It would drive down interest rates on CDs further robbing those on fixed income who would have less to spend.
If commodity prices rose but demand did not (which is what I expect would happen), it would add to cost pressures at businesses which in turn would likely fire workers.
The idea that the Fed can create jobs is ludicrous (the housing bubble and subsequent crash are proof enough) but that does not stop fools from preaching the message.

The fact that three of these people shared the same surname, Soule, led me to look to see if they were related, possibly sisters or cousins. From what I've found, they were not sisters, nor were they cousins. Soule was, and is, a very common surname in Maine.
If you have information to share, please leave a comment or contact me directly. Thanks!
Valedictorian Theresa Helen Soule was born in July 1876 or 1877, the daughter of Sidney and Helen (Thorne) Soule; she married Jesse Loring Rhymes.

My grandmother, Bertha Maria Small nee Davis, graduated from Freeport High School in 1899. I was always told that was the 1st graduating class. Obviously not. Can you enlighten me?ReplyDelete
I found an 1886 reference to a high school in Freeport at the Corner. However, could it be that your grandmother graduated from a fancy new replacement building, finished in time for the Class of 1899? Here's the link to the Freeport Library, which has a history room, The Bartol Room, where the reference librarian could help you: http://www.freeportlibrary.com/dunning.htmReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to comment - and thanks for the nudge that helped me discover the Bartol Room!

Young C.L.R.
Depicting the Haitian Revolution in the Black Jacobins
*** Legends ***
by Yussuf J. Simmonds
C.L.R. James
"A historian, journalist, author and social theorist, who was influential in the United States and the United Kingdom [1901–1989]
There are some individuals whose work has impacted large segments of the human family but they are relatively unknown; such an individual is C.L.R. James.
Born Cyril Lionel Robert James and became known as CLR James, he was born in Trinidad and Tobago which at that time was a British colony. His country's colonial status helped formulate James into the man he eventually became: a person with leading ideas about the end of colonialism (world-wide) specifically the British Empire. He also used the penname J.R. Johnson; was famed as a writer on cricket; and was very much involved in the socialist parties while in the U.S. and U.K.
After attending college, James embarked on a career as a cricket journalist and then as an author of fiction. He became widely known as a writer on cricket, eventually writing an autobiographical text, Beyond a Boundary, which became the seminal work on the game, and is regarded one of the best books on cricket–and some even say, the best book on any sport. The basis for the book, as James later explained, described cricket in an historical and social context, and how it played a strong influence on his life, and blended his role in politics and his understanding of issues of class and race.
(In the opening of the book, James wrote, "….Our house was superbly situated behind the wicket [a set of three stumps topped by two crosspieces used in cricket]. A huge tree on one side and another house on the other limited the view of the ground, but an umpire could have stood at the bedroom window…. Thus the pattern of my life was set." Not surprisingly, the literary quality of the book attracted cricketers of all political views).
During those years, James was still searching to find his niche in life; from writing, he went to teaching. One of his students was the future prime minister of an independent Trinidad and Tobago, Eric Williams, in addition to several other students who would also become prominent citizens in Trinidad and beyond. But, he continued to write; his first novels included "La Divina Pastora" (1927) and "Triumph" (1929). James became a member of the anti-colonialist Beacon Group, a circle of writers associated with "The Beacon" magazine.
In 1932, James left Trinidad bound for England. There he worked for the Manchester Guardian and helped his friend, Learie Constantine to write his autobiography. (Constantine was a well-known cricketer and future minister in the prime minister's cabinet, after Trinidad gain its independence). The circumstances in most British colonies forced many of the citizens to seek higher education–particularly law and medicine–in England. However, James hoped to further his literary career and took a different path from most who came from the British colonies. He also felt that furthering his education was critical for him, as a Black man, to realize his literary ambitions.
Another aspect of James' experience in the U.K. was his interaction with others from other colonies and the desire to campaign for the independence of the West Indies (British and other colonizers). Back in Trinidad, he had authored a pamphlet, The Case for West Indian Self Government." The year after he arrived in England, James moved to London and became a leading figure in the International African Service Bureau, led by his childhood friend George Padmore, to whom he later introduced Kwame Nkrumah. "George Padmore in my view is one of the greatest politicians of the twentieth century. He earned for himself the title of 'Father of African emancipation'."
James became a leading champion of Pan-African agitation and the Chair of the International African Friends of Abyssinia, which was formed in 1935 in response to Fascist Italy's invasion of what is now Ethiopia. His work, along with other pioneers of West Indian descent, including the Honorable Marcus M. Garvey, Norman Manley, Sir Alexander Bustamante, Sir Grantley Adams and Dr. Eric Williams, laid the foundation for organizations like the West Indian Federation. Most of these men were in England about the same time and many of them knew each other. They were victims of the same oppressive colonizer and they had a common purpose and a common enemy, and it was in their interest to formulate a common plan.
In addition, James and his West Indian compatriots saw the Pan African Movement (PAM) as travelling a parallel path aiming at the same enemy with the same ultimate goal–independence. Those in the PAM included future presidents of independent African countries–Jomo Kenyatta (Kenya); Abubakar Tafewa Balewa (Nigeria); Nkrumah (Ghana). James became a leading Marxist theorist after joining the Independent Labour Party (ILP).
Around that time, there was much political activity in London and James, though political, was still first and foremost a writer. He wrote a play about Toussaint L'Ouverture, which was staged in the West End, England in 1936, and starred Paul Robeson and Robert Adams. That same year saw the publication in London of James's only novel, Minty Alley, which he had brought with him in manuscript from Trinidad. It was the first novel to be published by a Black Caribbean author in the UK.
This was following by two other works of non-fiction: World Revolution (1937), a history of the rise and fall of the Communist International; and The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution (1938), a definitive history of the Haitian Revolution, which later on became the seminal text in the study of the African diaspora. In 1938, James travelled to the U.S. where he eventually spent the next 20 years searching, lecturing and looking for ways to further his life's mission–the fall of colonialism.
When"The Black Jacobins" was first published, it gave impetus to those (especially colonial students in England) who were bent on unshackling the chains of colonialism from the West Indies and Africa respectively. Then more than 25 years after the first publication of the work, it was being used by authors to strengthen their arguments about Caribbean culture. For example, in a 1971 article titled "African Religious Survivals as Factors in American Slave Revolts," James's discussion of the voodoo in "The Black Jacobins" is used to describe how religion served to fuel the Haitian Revolution. Then in a second edition, published in 1963, there is an appendix titled "From Toussaint L'Ouverture to Fidel Castro" was included.
The text of James's book chronicled the story behind the Haitian revolution and also the leadership of the former slave Toussaint L'Ouverture. By examining the brutal conditions of the slaves and the composition of the slave-owners and "free" Blacks and Mulattoes leading up to the Revolution, James showed how those conditions precipitated the social necessity for revolution. James provided the reader with the social context, introducing the complex social classes and their various interests: new slaves from Africa vs. slaves born in the colony, slave-owners, poor or "small" whites, free Blacks and Mulattoes (some of whom were slave-owners but still oppressed). The work also explored the economic relations between the Caribbean economy and the European economy during the era before the Haitian revolution.
While in the U.S., James aligned himself with the communist party and after World War II, the party did not believe that its prospects were ripe of a revolutionary upsurge. There were disagreement within and among several of the communist party factions and their potential power dissipated as the U.S. forged ahead as a bastion of capitalism. At that time, James still described himself as a Leninist, even though he publicly rejected Lenin's conception of the role of the revolutionary party. He argued for socialists to support the emerging Black nationalist movements that was budding in the U.S. And by 1949, James rejected the idea of the vanguard role within the revolutionary party.
According to research, James's writings were influential in the development and promotion of Marxist thought. He himself saw his life's work as developing the theory and practice of Leninism. In 1953, James was detained on Ellis Island for having overstayed his U.S. visa by over ten years. While detained, and in an attempt to remain in the USA, he wrote a study of Herman Melville of Moby Dick's fame, "Mariners, Renegades and Castaways: The Story of Herman Melville and the World We Live In;" he then arranged to have copies of the privately published work sent to every member of the Senate.
James briefly returned to England before returning to Trinidad in 1958. Independence was in the air though it would actually take four more years before it became a reality. He edited "The Nation" newspaper for the pro-independence People's National Movement (PNM) party. He also became involved again in the Pan-African movement believing that the independence of Ghana, a year earlier, illustrated that decolonization was the most important inspiration for international revolutionaries. James also advocated the West Indies Federation which was very short-lived, and created differences between him and the PNM leadership which was led by Dr. Williams whom he had met in London in the 1930s. James returned to England and in 1968 he was invited to the USA, where he taught at the University of the District of Columbia.
Ultimately, James returned to England where he spent his last years in Brixton, London. In the 1980's, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from South Bank Polytechnic (later to become University of the South Bank, in London) for his body of socio-political work including that relating to race and sport (particularly cricket).
During the 1970s and 1980s, there was a publishing resurgence of books by James including four volumes of selected writings: The Future In the Present, Spheres of Existence, At the Rendezvous of Victory, and Cricket.
In 1983, a short British documentary featuring James was made.
In 1983, the C.L.R. James Institute was founded in New York with his blessings; it was affiliated with the Centre for African Studies at Cambridge University.
And in 1985, a public library in the London Borough of Hackney was named in his honor; James himself was in attendance. He died four years later and his widow, Selma James, attended a reception there to mark its 20th anniversary in 2005.

In the Future, There will be Robots is a play advertised on the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, it takes place in the Vice City Art Center. It stars Claude Maginot, who also helped produce the play. He was also interviewed by Amy Sheckenhausen on the radio station K-Chat to promote the play. An advertisement for the play can also be heard on Wave 103.
The cast of the play seem to wear sequined, exceptionally tight clothes, particularly pants. It seems that the play is poorly received, as people have described it as "(too) difficult to put into English", and "the performance that has left critics speechless". Morgan Merryweather seems to genuinely enjoy the play, as he calls into K-Chat to talk to Maginot when he is being interviewed on the station.
- The play is supposedly referenced by Lazlow on Integrity 2.0 in Grand Theft Auto IV. He says that in the 80s there was "this weird performance art about robots".
- The play is mentioned by Steve and Bill in the Electron Zone segment on LCFR in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Chefs and Restaurateurs Flunk Gluten-Free Quiz at NRA Show
Ambler, Pa. (PRWEB) May 22, 2012
Chefs and restaurateurs lack a fundamental understanding of gluten-free protocols, and it's a threat to those with gluten-related disorders, according to the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), the non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and improving the lives of those of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
"When most people dine out, they expect a meal that's safe to eat. Individuals with gluten-related disorders don't have that luxury," said Alice Bast, founder and president of NFCA.
Earlier this month, NFCA quizzed chefs and restaurateurs on the floor of the National Restaurant Association Show, an international gathering of professionals in the foodservice industry, and the results were alarming. Many of the chefs and restaurateurs said they have gluten-free options at their restaurants, yet less than four percent of them responded correctly to four questions regarding gluten (see "Survey Questions" below).

Do we have to infect animals in addition to vaccination?
Do we have to infect animals in addition to vaccination?
A farm that had a PRRS outbreak in January 2016 is planning to extend the census during the first half of 2017 with the introduction of replacements weighing 20 kg in the fattening units. Should an infection with farm animals be used in addition to vaccination? Should nursery piglets be vaccinated to reduce the "risk"?
Answered by: Enric Marco I Published on: January 13, 2017
I understand that if 20-kg replacements are going to be introduced, the procedure will take place in an area separate from the farrowing unit.
If that is the case, I would recommend contact with farm animals in order to ensure that there are no subsequent re-circulations and always after vaccination. If the acclimatization process is done correctly, it should not generate re-circulation in the farrowing unit and, therefore, the herd should remain stable. In this case, I would not recommend vaccination of piglets in order to reduce the risk.
Before any extension of the census is carried out, it is important to know not only the replacements' health status with regards to PRRS, but also whether they are positive or negative to M. hyo or other diseases.
As regards M.hyo, the introduction of negative sows may lead to late infection and M. hyo excretion at farrowing, which may be a destabilizing element when those animals reach the fattening phase. Contact with farm animals during the growth phase would prevent this from happening, as long as the gilts were previously vaccinated.

WHISTLER, B.C. - Canada cemented its status as one of the world powers in luge on Saturday as national team athletes doubled the country's all-time world championship medal count on their home track.
Alex Gough teamed up with Sam Edney, Tristan Walker and Justin Snith to earn silver in team relay just hours after she captured a bronze medal in women's singles racing in the FIL Luge World Championships at the Whistler Sliding Centre.
Previously, Gough's individual bronze in 2011 and the same foursome's third-place relay result last year were Canada's only medals won at the world championships.
"It was a weekend of close, close results," said Edney. "We had a successful Saturday and Alex gave the other three of us the encouragement that we deserved to be on the podium. It just feels really good to be on there in front of this home crowd."
In team relay, each squad uses one male, female and doubles sled, with the athletes hitting a lever at the finish line to open the start gate for the next teammate. The Canadians recorded a total time of two minutes 4.472 seconds, finishing as runners-up to the powerhouse German team.
Germany finished in 2:03.826 to take gold, its lineup consisting of the world champions crowned in the individual disciplines throughout the weekend — Felix Loch, Natalie Geisenberger and doubles duo Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt. Latvia placed third with a time of 2:04.854.
"I'm extremely proud today because this is something I didn't expect," said Canadian head coach Wolfgang Staudinger. "Having two medals walking away from worlds has never happened in Canada … so this is fantastic."
Earlier Saturday, Gough led a strong showing from the Canadian women as three from the host nation finished in the top eight.
Calgary residents Kim McRae and Arianne Jones placed seventh and eighth, respectively, while fellow Canadian Jordan Smith finished 19th.
Gough, 25, finished with a two-run, combined time of one minute 13.546 seconds to rank third on Saturday.
"It feels really good. It's tough to be that close to the silver medal and not be there, but I'm still really happy with my performance," said Gough, who was just 12 thousandths of a second out of the runner-up spot.
"I felt like I had really good, consistent runs, and I felt like I slid as well as I have all week, so I have to be happy with that."
Canadian fans at the finish dock chanted Gough's name as she began her second run and erupted in celebration when her time appeared, indicating a podium finish.
"I could hear some of the cowbells going," said Gough. "They were definitely a great crowd and they were super loud and supportive, so I'm happy to see everyone out."
Germany's Geisenberger won her first world championship title, finishing in 1:13.428. German teammate Tatjana Hüfner, the Olympic and two-time defending world champ, finished second in 1:13.534.
"It's perfect. It's a big dream to get a gold medal at the world championships and the dream is true now," said a smiling Geisenberger. "I had a perfect set-up on my sled and nearly-perfect starts."
As expected, the Germans dominated the weekend of racing in Whistler, taking home eight of a possible 10 medals and all four gold medals. Canada was the only other country to end the event with multiple podium finishes.
In the next year leading up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, the Canadians will be focused on closing the gap on their German rivals. Team relay will be a medal event at the Games for the first time in 2014.
"We need to keep working the way we are," said Gough. "We keep coming closer and closer … and we need to continue to do that and keep fighting for it. Yes, it is frustrating to see (Germany) on top all the time, but we are going to fight for it (in the next year)."

In 1998, The Crow Wing County Genealogical Society Newsletter in Brainerd, Minnesota published an article about George Angus Barclay. This article appeared in their Heir Mail newsletter. The editor kindly sent me a copy and I thought it was well done considering he was not her ancestor.
- George A. Barclay
- 1844 to 1898
- Wagner, Company, I, 9th MN Infantry
- Enlisted 15 Aug. 1862,
- Discharged 24 Aug, 1865
- Resident about 25 years.
George Barclay operated a hotel and store in Pine River for a number of years. He was also engaged in lumber operations in the areas.
The following quotation is taken from Down the Mississippi written by Captain Glazier in 1881. Capt. Glazier describes his trip to Pine River and his pleasant surprise in finding George Barclay's place. "Sometimes in the road and sometimes out of it; now driving along the shore of a lake and again over huge logs and boulders, it was voted that our ride to Pine River was unlike anything we had ever else where experienced. The ranch of George Barclay, the only white habitation between Gull and Leech Lakes, was reached at five o'clock in the evening. Here we were most agreeably surprised to find very good accommodations for both man and beast. Barclay is a decided favorite with the Indians, and his prosperity in this isolated corner of Minnesota is largely due to his friendly relations with them. He is always supplied with guns, knives, beads, tobacco and such other goods as are in demand by his dusky neighbors, for which he received in exchange furs, game, snake-root, and such other products of the forest as find a ready market at Brainerd or St. Paul."
Later Brainerd historian, Sarah Thorp Herald added, "In 1894 Barclay's establishment had lost all resemblance to a trading-post and had become a lumberman's hotel of some pretensions. It was a two-storied structure with the inevitable "false front" of frontier towns, and stood in a grove of jack pines near the newly-laid Brainerd and Northern Railroad tracks.
Newspaper accounts of 3 Nov. 1898 describe Mr. Barclay's death: "Mr. Barclay was shot about seven-thirty on Sat. evening. When the fatal shot was fired, he was sitting in a chair, smoking a cigar, and talking to four or five men, about five feet away from a window in the barroom of the hotel. The assassin fired through the glass, the ball passing through Mr. Barclay's neck from side to side, probably cutting the carotid artery of the jugular vein."
After authorities were notified the remains were brought to Brainerd for burial. The Pap Thomas Post of the BAR handled the arrangements. The funeral services were conducted from the Episcopal Church with Rev. C.F. Kite officiating. Burial was in Evergreen Cemetery (Current records do not list his burial.) (Note: There is not death certificate for George only the Coroners records.) He was survived by his wife and a married daughter, Mrs. R.A. McDonald. (Note: Should be R.S.)
From what I've been able to determine from my research, no one was ever convicted of shooting George Barclay. Those on the scene saw no one, the killer apparently was able to escape into the darkness of the nearby forest and escape being brought to justice. Her Mail, Fall. 1998. (Note: There are several posts on this blog describing the murder, coroner's report, grand jury and trial regarding the murder of George A. Barclay.)
I have visited the Crow Wing Genealogical Society in Brainerd located in the Family History Center near the Church. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mncrowwi/gs/ Researching George Barclay and Amarilla required extending my search beyond Cass County. I thank them for this nicely done article on my great-grandfather.
I wrote a post on this blog about George's service as a Wagoner in the Civil War. It is really difficult to find information about men who served in the support part of the Civil War. The focus is the battles and the officers. It has turned out to be one of the most popular posts on this blog. A quick Google search reveals a little more information about this valuable service to the war effort now appearing online.
