Researchers at the University of Minnesota have something of a mystery
on their hands.
This fall, numerous reports flooded in from farmers and truckers –
especially in the western part of the state – who said the fuel filters on
their tractors and trucks were becoming clogged.
Because Minnesota requires that all diesel sold within the state be a
2-percent blend of biodiesel, some speculated that the biofuel might be the
root of the filter problems.
Kelly Strebig, a researcher with the University of Minnesota's Center for
Diesel Research, told "Land Line Now" that the solution might not be that
"We're not absolutely sure at this point yet," he said. "There's a
combination of things going on."
For one thing, Strebig said, the problem is predominantly in the western
half of the state, with only one complaint coming from the eastern half.
In addition, Strebig said there have been similar fuel filter problems
happening in North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa, states that don't require
biodiesel blends.
Strebig said that, while researchers have not yet been able to nail
down a specific culprit, it is likely a combination of factors are to blame – including hurricanes, the fall harvest season and the beginning of home heating
oil season. Strebig said the calls regarding clogged fuel filters started
coming in at about the same time as all of those events were coming together.
"There was a tremendous shortage of diesel fuel," he said. "So at all
levels the petroleum industry ran its tanks down to the bottom. That just stirs
up the bottom of all the tanks at different levels, all the way to the
Strebig said that fuel tanks are seldom drained all the way to the
bottom, so when they are, it tends to stir up sediment.
However, Strebig said that even that theory might yet prove to be
"To have the (fuel filter) problem, you need to have a number of things
come together, and we're not yet sure what all of those points are," he said.
Minnesota did have a problem with its biodiesel in late October, when
one of its major suppliers produced fuel that did not meet state
specifications. The supply was temporarily suspended until the problem was

Women and long-term axial spondyloarthropathy patients at higher risk for complications
Primary tabs
According to a new research, gender and disease duration can predict the risk of developing debilitating symptoms beyond the joints in spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) patients.
Spondyloarthritis refers to an inflammatory form of arthritis affecting the spine, and joints of the arms and legs. It is the most common subtype axial spondyloarthropathies (AxSpA). It is often represented by extra-articular manifestations, such as uveitis, or inflammation of the eye, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. However, the cause of the condition remains unknown. Recently, researchers collected data from the Ankylosing Spondylitis Registry of Ireland (ARSI) to evaluate the prevalence of extra-articular manifestations in an axSpA patient cohort. They aimed to identify the differences in these manifestations in early versus late disease and other characteristics. The study results showed that:
- >50 percent of participants had at least one of the three conditions.
- 35.5 percent of patients had uveitis, the most common of the three.
- The prevalence of uveitis was significantly higher in women than men (46.7 percent versus 32.3 percent) and in men and women who had had the disease for 10 years or longer than in those who had had it less than 10 years (39.8 percent versus 21.7 percent).
- 17.8 percent had psoriasis.
- 9.7 percent had inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- The prevalence of IBD was significantly higher in women than in men (16.5 percent versus 7.7 percent).
The co-author, Gillian Fitzgerald, MD, a rheumatology fellow at St. James's Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, said that these conditions add to the burden of the disease, or morbidity. "Each of these extra-articular manifestations alone has morbidity, and our patients can often have several of these conditions in addition to the morbidity from inflammatory back pain. This can have a huge impact on their quality of life, so it is important for us as rheumatologists to understand as much as we can about them".
Dr. Fitzgerald added, "I think a lot of patients think it's only back pain they should mention, but we are interested in all symptoms. So if they have problems with their skin or eyes or with inflammatory bowel disease, we want them to know to talk with their rheumatologist about it".
According to Theodore Fields, MD, a rheumatologist at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, since 2013 Ankylosing Spondylitis Registry of Ireland has been collecting data is a valuable resource. "Over time, as the years of prospective data accumulation grow, data from this registry can assist in anticipating complications of axial spondyloarthropathy in different patient groups," Dr. Fields said.
Doctors performed surveillance for uveitis in women and looked outpatients with longer duration of disease and carefully treated the subtle inflammatory bowel disease. "For the moment, all patients with axial spondyloarthropathy need to be under observation for the spectrum of associated conditions, but further fine-tuning of subsets of patients at special risk of particular manifestations will help us better focus our screening," Dr. Fields said.
Thus, further research is needed in this context to identify other characteristics that can predict the development of these conditions.

Three Glaring Examples Proving Snopes and the AP Have No Business Being Official 'Fact Checkers'
Snopes and the Associated Press have been given power over social media to define truth but they are often wrong and the consequences are grave.
While our readers are still smart enough to check multiple sources and keep us honest, the power of Snopes and the rest of the "fact checkers" has grown immensely and ominously. Now, Snopes, the AP, and Politifact have woven themselves into the fabric of social media and have become the be all end all of "truth." As a result of this new cozy relationship, they have the power to silence anyone they deem to be false—facts and reality be damned.
What's more, if these new arbiters of online truth do deem content to be "false," whether it is or not, the victims have zero recourse to challenge them and will see social media reach—no matter if it took years to build up—throttled and subsequently turned off.
But they are doing a service to weed out fake news, right? While Snopes and the like certainly do debunk many fake stories, the idea of solely relying on them for the truth is chilling.
Case in point. Within the last month, Snopes and the Associated Press both claimed that articles we wrote were false when they clearly were not. As a result of their illegitimate claims, the Free Thought Project has watched our website traffic drop.
On June 8, Snopes attempted to claim that a story we wrote about Veterans on Patrol was false by claiming that we said this veterans group discovered a child trafficking camp in Tuscon, AZ. The only problem with this claim is that we never made it. The Free Thought Project merely reported on the activities of VOP and noted the possibility that this camp could also simply be a homeless camp. It's why we used quotes in the title around "Child Trafficking Camp" because these were their words, not ours.
Nevertheless, thousands of Facebook users who shared our article received a notification that they had shared news that was determined to be false—when, in fact, it was not.

Our Story
Soft~Pull is truly a product designed out of need and love. In 2004 Laura Mucerino began rescuing Pit Bulls from her local shelter to keep them from being euthanized. Her husband, Frank, watched Laura walk the dogs several miles a day on a retractable leash. Many times the dogs were not leash trained and the dogs ended up walking Laura instead, jerking her arm and shoulder. She also had chronic back pain from the constant pull of the dogs. In 2006 Frank began working on designing a leash that was user friendly and dog friendly. The leash was designed with a "shock absorbing" type system to prevent the sudden jerk when the dog got to the end of the leash.
Unfortunately, the leash was never finished and in 2008 Laura suffered a bad shoulder injury from a dog jerking her shoulder while on a retractable leash. Laura went through 6 months of physical therapy and was warned that if she re-injured the shoulder she would require surgery.
Frank resumed work on the leash design and in 2009 met Van Walworth, a product design and development specialist, who he shared his ideas with. Van and Frank worked together for many months in Van's lab taking Frank's idea and Van's technical experience and turning it into Soft~Pull…a unique technology that resulted in a leash that we believe is the best leash in the world. Other products, using the Soft~Pull technology are now being developed.

He presently owns and operates a retail strip center and is in the process of developing property in the Bahamas. Frank has always enjoyed designing and inventing new products and improving existing products. His focus is to help others design and develop their ideas and products.
Laura Mucerino is a licensed registered nurse, however, she has always enjoyed working with Frank and being involved with their businesses. She is presently property manager of the retail strip center owned by herself and Frank. Laura and Frank have been involved in dog rescue since 2004 and has saved and found homes for hundreds of dogs. Laura is an animal advocate involved in issues such as dog fighting, animal cruelty and breed specific legislation.

Last few days someone posted a deal on flights from KEF (Reykjavik airport) to China for less than US$2k. Actually I found an interesting routing going from Reykjavik, Iceland to Lhasa, Tibet with the following itinerary: KEF-AMS-CAN-CKG-LXA with the return LXA-CKG-CAN-CDG-KEF for around $2.1k. All in Business class with the major sectors AMS-CAN operated by China Southern (in an A330) and CAN-CDG (in a B777) by Air France. All in all, it was a pretty good deal since it connected 2 exotic destinations even if the business class cabin in either long-haul planes are not that spectacular.
But the more spectacular part if when I fiddled around and got a routing from KEF to NRT with a layover in FRA (Frankfurt) or MUC (Munich). The price was at $3.8k but the flights between FRA/MUC and NRT was in First Class. I came up with the following itinerary. Remember when I mentioned that ANA First Square was retailing around the same price between NRT and LAX? Well it seems that FRA-NRT is pretty affordable too!
While it is not spare change, but $3.8k to experience F cabins of both Lufthansa and All Nippon Airways is a good value in my opinion. The only drawback is that when routing through MUC, the F cabins are older versions in both airlines. However the planes serving FRA have the newest cabins and I even see availability in the Lufthansa A380 operating between FRA and NRT.

A buyer considering a purchase of commercial real estate in California will have many details to consider before committing to a deal. In general, a seller should grant the potential buyer a period of time to conduct due diligence. This investigative period allows the buyer to weigh the asking price against factors that influence value and liability. Essential issues to check include the status of the title, zoning, compliance with environmental regulations, cash flow and lease agreements.
Solid economic growth good news for commercial market
According to forecasts from the National Association of Realtors, commercial real estate vacancies are expected to fall about 1.1 percent to 11.9 percent. The industrial sector is also set to experience a 1.1 percent fall in vacancies to 7.8 percent over the coming year. Vacancy rates are also expected to fall in the retail and multifamily sectors of the commercial real estate market as well.
Investment property considerations
It's not unusual for people living in California to consider the purchase of an investment property. Many people appreciate the security of owning real estate rather than worrying about ever-fluctuating stock prices. While real estate can be a good investment, it also has its pitfalls, particularly for novice property owners.
Using technology to differentiate commercial property
Commercial property owners in California might be able to optimize their properties by implementing smart building technologies. These technologies may help by connecting the various processes within buildings to improve energy efficiency while providing visualizations of how the various systems are working.

I was looking for some numbers on what Americans eat (which I suppose is sort of like seeking out a car accident to watch), and found that someone had made this helpful little pie chart (below my commentary).
This thing sure is interesting to look at. Some thoughts that have come to me as I gaze upon it…
• Nearly a third (31.7%) of what we consume was naturally intended solely for baby mammals
• 1,107.3 pounds of consumption each year (over 55%) comes from foods that are foreign to the natural diet of every species on the planet (dairy, flour/cereal, sweeteners, corn, fats/oils)
• That fish sure looks smug
• We consume 232 pounds of animal-based foods versus 248 pounds of grain-based foods… bet the USDA is happy now (if only we weren't still getting fatter)
• I wonder how much of the "veggies" are in potato form… clearly at least 29 pounds, given the amount of french fries is included in the chart
• Apparently people still think corn is a vegetable
• I'll bet the people at sweetsurprise.com are ecstatic that we're consuming 42 pounds of corn syrup a year. From their site:
High fructose corn syrup is made from corn — a natural grain product. High fructose corn syrup contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients or color additives and meets the Food and Drug Administration's requirements for use of the term "natural." [emphasis is their own]
So many things wrong with this paragraph… corn is not a natural grain product, it's domesticated… it contains no real ingredients (i.e. ones that exist without human intervention)… apparently the FDA has loose morals if it considers corn syrup "natural"… by this same logic, cocaine and heroin are also "natural"
• That runner needs to wear a longer shirt
What thoughts occur to you when you look at this chart?

According to the National Cancer Institute, 12.4 percent of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives1. But now, there is a different way to screen for breast cancer that is painless, effective for all breast sizes and has a 3-5 year ealier detection for active cancer cells.
Thermographic Breast Screening
- It's Safe, Easy and Pain FREE!
- No radiation exposure – FDA registered
- No compression of breast tissue
- Detects changes in tissue from the smallest of tumors
- Provides information about inflammatory beast cancer and fibrocystic activity
- Safe and Effect for breast implants
- Useful for evaluation chest wall after breast surgery
- Effective for all breast sizes
- Creates Opportunity for early intervention
We're offering Thermography Screenings at Lake Pointe on August 27, 2015. To schedule your appointment, please call 770- 974-5215.
1. What exactly is thermography?
A. Thermography is a non-invasive screening that maps your individual 'thermal fingerprint'. This fingerprint is unique to you and does not change over time unless there is a disruption, disease or pathology. The scan is done without ANY pain, radiation or compression.
2. How Does Thermography benefit me?
A. A qualified medical doctor closely monitors your images for any subtle changes that can indicate early stage breast disease. This offers you the opportunity to act quickly to resolve any issues.
3. How is Thermography different from other breast exam tests?
A. X-rays, mammography, MRI and ultrasound exams monitor the structure of your breasts. However, thermography monitors the function of your breasts. It is 3-5 years more sensitive which enables any changes to be spotted before the recognition of structural testing. Extensive clinical trial have shown that breast thermography significantly augments the long term survival rates of its recipients by as much as 61%. When used as multimodal approach (clinical exam + mammography + thermography ), 95% of early stage cancers will be detected.
4. How long does it take?
A. 30 minutes for breast scan. Arrive 10 minutes before your appointment for paperwork. No deodorant, perfumes or lotions on breast or armpit regions. No massage, chiropractic adjustments or vigorous exercise before appointment.
5. Who will perform the thermography?
A. Janique Cook or Angelique Scibetta of Mobile Thermographic Imaging are certified Clinical Thermographers. They have 8 combined years of thermography training and obtained their certifications through Meditherm, a highly respected leader in Thermal Imaging. They will conduct your screening.
I'm Skeptical. Does it really work?
1. Spitalier & Associates used thermography to screen 61,000 women over a 10 year period. They found that 91% of non-palpable cancers were detected by infrared imaging, and that of all the patients with cancer, thermography was the first indicator of the disease in 60% of the cases.
Spitalier, H., Giraud, D. et al. "Does Infrared Thermography Truly Have a Role in Present Day Breast Cancer Management?" Biomedical Thermology pp.269-278, 1982
Spitalier and associates screened 61,000 women using thermography over a 10 year period. The false negative and positive rate was found to be 11% (89% sensitivity and specificity). 91% of the non-palpable cancers (T0 rating) were detected by thermography. Of all the patients with cancer, thermography alone was the first alarm in 60% of cases. The authors noted "in patients having no clinical or radiographic suspicion of malignancy, a persistent abnormal breast thermogram represents the highest known risk factor for the future development of breast cancer
Yes, I want to get breast thermography. To schedule your appointment at Lake Pointe Chiropractic, please call 770- 974-5215.

Many years ago our brothers and sisters at the United Church of Christ went 'all-out' embracing all of God's children regardless of Sexual Orientation and openly inviting gay and lesbian ministers to join their denomination. Remember those commercials? What a great campaign and what an amazing ministry.
Today the UCC took another leap of faith stating that, "Condoms should be distributed at places of worship. The March 19 statement, issued at a presentation to the UCC Wider Church Ministries Board, also called for making condoms available at faith-based educational settings." According to UCC executive Michael Schuenemeyer, "The practice of safer sex is a matter of life and death. People of faith make condoms available because we have chosen life so that we and our children may live."

I'm am amazed and inspired at the action the United Church of Christ has taken today.
I've spoken with Mike Schuenemeyer, Executive Director of UCAN (The UCC HIV/AIDS Network) and proposed a full partnership between the HIV/AIDS Ministry Network of Disciples Home Missions and UCAN and Mike has graciously accepted my offer to work together, sharing ideas and resources!
The HIV/AIDS Ministry Network of Disciples Home Missions will no longer sit and wait, we will join our brothers and sisters at UCAN in a collaborative effort to bring faith based HIV/STD prevention education to our denomination and God's broader church as a whole!
The HIV/AIDS Ministry Network of Disciples Home Missions is now booking dates for our spring and summer road trips in the Midwest. If you have an event in your congregation or community that you would like us to be a part of, please let us know.

text: Im new to Macs, so now that I have two computers at home, I need to go wireless. So my question is this.....how do I set up a wireless network in my home with my old pc and new macbook. One thing though, my old pc doesnt have a wireless card, so I still have to connect via a cable, while I want to share the internet through a wireless connection with my macbook. Also, quick question, I was able to connect to the wireless network at my school. However, is there a way my Macbook can automatically recognize and connect by itself. Right now I find myself having to go through so many steps to connect. Sorry about all the questions, Hope someone can help?

Just growing more food won't help to feed the world
By Richard Ewbank. The World Bank's view that we need to grow 50% more food by 2050 to feed 9 billion people, while finding ways to reduce carbon emissions from agriculture at the same time, ignores one very simple fact – we already grow enough food for 10 billion people.
The challenge of feeding the world cannot be met through increases in production – the answer lies in increasing the climate resilience of agriculture in ways that reverse the catastrophic environmental degradation of the last 50 years while also making production more efficient.

Smarter Western blot analysis

We are analysing chemiluminescent Western blots to look for expression of thrombospondin proteins. These can form oligomers which are larger than 200 kDa but can have low expression so it is very difficult using chemiluminescent blots and X-ray film to get the exposure just right to detect these proteins.
In 2017, we decided to install the Syngene G:BOX Chemi XRQ because this system can accurately image large gels and blots with ease. Using the G:BOX Chemi XRQ we can leave the system capturing multiple images and exposures and can always detect our proteins quantitatively even when the signal is faint, avoiding the risk of over-exposure. This means we can analyse our chemi blots more easily and have much more confidence in our results.
We are analysing chemiluminescent Western blots to look for expression of proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases. We were spending a huge amount of time using X-Ray film to visualize our Western blots. This was difficult, as well as time consuming.
We chose to upgrade from our old Syngene gel doc, which we have used for many years but couldn't analyse Western blots on, to the newer G:BOX Chemi XX6 imaging system in 2016. Now 10 scientists regularly use the G:BOX Chemi XX6 to detect their chemiluminescent proteins and we may in future use the system for fluorescent Western blots too. We all like the G:BOX Chemi XX6 because the software is easy to use and we can obtain our results quickly.
We need to image Western blots of a fluorescent peptide to fish out key interacting protein partners to an essential transcription factor linked to leukaemia and other cancers. We can't capture our results using X-ray film because we are limited on space and don't have room for a darkroom where we could develop film.
We chose the PXi for our lab in 2013 because the system is small, yet can do so many imaging applications. Around 20 scientists in our institutes have used the PXi since then and this has saved us time as the system is more sensitive than film and we don't have to keep repeating our Western blots. Using the PXi system, has saved us not only time but a lot of money on the costs of consumables such as film and developing agents so we love our PXi system.
We study nitrated proteins which can indicate the onset of Alzheimer's disease but because the proteins are present in such small amounts we have to have sensitive detection with an imager. Additionally, we have a lot of students wanting to use the machine, which means we need an image analyser that is easy to train them on.
We assessed the G:BOX Chemi XX6 in 2015 and saw that with our large 2D DIGE gels the system could easily detect proteins at below the nanogram level, which is why we acquired the technology in 2015. Since then many of our researchers have worked with the G:BOX Chemi XX6. They have found the system easy to use and does not need continuous servicing, overall we are very satisfied with the performance of the G:BOX Chemi XX6 in our lab.

GameStop is a video game store that allows you to buy new and used games. GameStop is known for their trade-in system, which allows a customer to sell the store their used games for money. The money given in exchange is usually a low amount.
The Meme
The meme involves using a franchise or company (mostly related to games) and say you sold it for a very low amount of money. The meme is a nod to the fact that GameStop doesn't give power to the players, but it instead manipulates them. It's pretty much like your typical modern Miiverse meme.

IT was the evening of the 7th April, 1812. The children of Mr. Kinzie were dancing before the fire to the music of their father's violin. The tea-table was spread, and they were awaiting the return of their mother, who had gone to visit a sick neighbor about a quarter of a mile up the river.
Suddenly their sports were interrupted. The door was thrown open, and Mrs. Kinzie rushed in, pale with terror and scarcely able to articulate, "The Indians! the Indians!"
"The Indians? What? Where?" eagerly demanded they all.
"Up at Lee's Place, killing and scalping!"
With difficulty Mrs. Kinzie composed herself sufficiently to give the information, "That while she was up at Burns', a man and a boy were seen running down with all speed on the opposite side of the river; that they had called across to give notice to Burns' family to save themselves, for the Indians were at Lee's Place, from which they had just made their escape. Having given this terrifying news, they had made all speed for the fort, which was on the same side of the river that they then were.
All was now consternation and dismay. The family were hurried into two old pirogues, that were moored near the house, and paddled with all possible haste across the river to take refuge in the fort.
All that the man and boy who had made their escape were able to tell, was soon known; but in order to render their story more intelligible, it is necessary to describe the scene of action.
Lee's Place, since known by the name of Hardscrabble, was a farm intersected by the Chicago River, about four miles from its mouth. The farm-house stood on the western bank of the south branch of this river. On the same side of the main stream, but quite near its junction with Lake Michigan, stood (as has already been described) the dwelling-house and trading establishment of Mr. Kinzie.
The fort was situated on the southern bank, directly opposite this mansion -- the river, and a few rods of sloping green turf on either side, being all that intervened between them.
The fort was differently constructed from the one erected on the same site in 1816. It had two blockhouses on the southern side, and on the northern a sally, port, or subterranean passage from the parade ground to the river. This was designed either to facilitate escape, in case of an emergency, or as a means of supplying the garrison with water during a siege.
The officers in the fort at this period were Capt. Heald, the commanding officer, Lieut. Helm, the son-in-law of Mr. Kinzie, and Ensign Ronan -- the two last were very young men -- and the surgeon, Dr. Van Voorhees.
The command numbered about seventy-five men; very few of whom were effective.
A constant and friendly intercourse had been maintained between these troops and the Indians. It is true that the principal men of the Pottowattamie nation, like those of most other tribes, went yearly to Fort Malden, in Canada, to receive a large amount of presents, with which the British Government had, for many years, been in the habit of purchasing their alliance; and it was well known that many of the Pottowattamies, as well as Winnebagoes, had been engaged with the Ottawas and Shawnees at the battle of Tippecanoe, the preceding autumn; yet, as the principal chiefs of all the bands in the neighborhood appeared to be on the most amicable terms with the Americans, no interruption of their harmony was at any time anticipated.
After the 15th August, however, many circumstances were recollected that might have opened the eyes of the whites, had they not been lulled in a fatal security. One instance in particular may be mentioned.
In the spring preceding the destruction of the fort, two Indians of the Calumet band came to the fort on a visit to the Commanding Officer. As they passed through the quarters, they saw Mrs. Heald and Mrs. Helm playing at battledoor.
Turning to the interpreter, one of them, Nau-non-gee, remarked: "The white chiefs' wives are amusing themselves very much; it will not be long before they are hoeing in our cornfields!"
This was considered at the time an idle threat, or at most, an ebullition of jealous feeling at the contrast between the situation of their own women and that of the "white chiefs' wives." Some months after, how bitterly was it remembered!
The farm at Lee's Place was occupied by a Mr. White, and three persons employed by him in the care of the farm.
In the afternoon of the day on which our narrative commences, a party of ten or twelve Indians, dressed and painted, arrived at the house, and according to the custom among savages, entered and seated themselves without ceremony.
Something in their appearance and manner excited the suspicions of one of the family, a Frenchman, who remarked, "I do not like the appearance of these Indians -- they are none of our folks. I know by their dress and paint that they are not Pottowattamies."
Another of the family, a discharged soldier, then said to the boy who was present, "If that is the case, we had better get away from them if we can. Say nothing; but do as you see me do."
As the afternoon was far advanced, the soldier walked leisurely towards the canoes, of which there were two tied near the bank. Some of the Indians inquired where he was going. He pointed to the cattle which were standing among the haystacks on the opposite bank; and made signs that they must go and fodder them, and then they should return and get their supper.
He got into one canoe, and the boy into the other. The stream was narrow, and they were soon across. When they had gained the opposite side, they pulled some hay for the cattle -- made a show of collecting them -- and when they had gradually made a circuit, so that their movements were concealed by the haystacks, they took to the woods, which were close at hand, and made for the fort.
They had run about a quarter of a mile, when they heard the discharge of two guns successively, which they supposed to have been levelled at the companions they had left behind.
They stopped not nor stayed until they arrived opposite Burns,2 where, as before related, they called across to advertise the family of their danger, and then hastened on to the fort.
It now occurred to those who had secured their own safety, that the family of Burns was at this moment exposed to the most imminent peril. The question was, who would hazard his own life to bring them to a place of safety? A gallant young officer, Ensign Ronan, volunteered, with a party of five or six soldiers, to go to their rescue.
They ascended the river in a scow, took the mother, with her infant of scarcely a day old, upon her bed to the boat, in which they carefully conveyed her and the other members of the family to the fort.
A party of soldiers, consisting of a corporal and six men, had that afternoon obtained leave to go up the river to fish.
They had not returned when the fugitives from Lee's Place arrived at the fort, and fearing that they might encounter the Indians, the commanding officer ordered a cannon to be fired, to warn them of danger.
They were at the time about two miles above Lee's Place. Hearing the signal, they took the hint, put out their torches (for it was now night), and dropped down the river toward the garrison, as silently as possible. It will be remembered that the unsettled state of the country since the battle of Tippecanoe, the preceding November, had rendered every man vigilant, and the slightest alarm was an admonition to beware of "the Indians."
When the fishing-party reached Lee's Place, it was proposed to stop and warn the inmates to be upon their guard, as the signal from the fort indicated danger of some kind. All was still as death around the house. They groped their way along, and as the corporal jumped over the small enclosure, he placed his hand upon the dead body of a man. By the sense of touch he soon ascertained that the head was without a scalp, and otherwise mutilated. The faithful dog of the murdered man stood guarding the lifeless remains of his master.
The tale was now told. They retreated to their canoes and reached the fort unmolested about eleven o'clock at night. The next morning a party of the citizens and soldiers volunteered to go to Lee's Place, to learn further the fate of its occupants. The body of Mr. White was found pierced by two balls, and with eleven stabs in the breast. The Frenchman, as already described, lay dead, with his dog still beside him. Their bodies were brought to the fort and buried in its immediate vicinity.
It was subsequently ascertained, from traders out in the Indian country, that the perpetrators of this bloody deed were a party of Winnebagoes, who had come into this neighbourhood to "take some white scalps." Their plan had been, to proceed down the river from Lee's Place, and kill every white man without the walls of the fort. Hearing, however, the report of the cannon, and not knowing what it portended, they thought it best to remain satisfied with this one exploit, and forthwith retreated to their homes on Rock River.
The inhabitants outside the fort, consisting of a few discharged soldiers and some families of half-breeds, now entrenched themselves in the Agency House. This stood on the esplanade west of the fort, between the pickets and the river, and distant about twenty rods from the former.3
It was an old-fashioned log-building, with a hall running through the centre, and one large room on each side. Piazzas extended the whole length of the building in front and rear. These were planked up, for greater security, port-holes were cut, and sentinels posted at night.
As the enemy were believed to be lurking still in the neighborhood, or, emboldened by former success, likely to return at any moment, an order was issued prohibiting any soldier or citizen from leaving the vicinity of the garrison without a guard.
One night a sergeant and private, who were out on a patrol, came suddenly upon a party of Indians in the pasture adjoining the esplanade. The sergeant fired his piece, and both retreated toward the fort. Before they could reach it, an Indian threw his tomahawk, which missed the sergeant and struck a wagon standing near. The sentinel from the block-house immediately fired, and with effect, while the men got safely in. The next morning it was ascertained, from traces of blood to a considerable distance into the prairie, and from the appearance of a body having been laid among the long grass, that some execution had been done.
On another occasion the enemy entered the esplanade to steal horses. Not finding them in the stable, as they had expected, they made themselves amends for their disappointment by stabbing all the sheep in the stable, and then letting them loose. The poor animals flocked towards the fort. This gave the alarm -- the garrison was aroused -- parties were sent out, but the marauders escaped unmolested.
The inmates of the fort experienced no further alarm for many weeks.
On the afternoon of the 7th August, Winnemeg, or Catfish, a Pottowattamie chief arrived at the post, bringing despatches from Gen. Hull. These announced the declaration of war between the United States and Great Britain, and that Gen. Hull, at the head of the North-Western army, had arrived at Detroit; also, that the island of Mackinac had fallen into the hands of the British.
The orders to Captain Heald were, "to evacuate the fort, if practicable, and in that event, to distribute all the United States' property contained in the fort, and in the United States' factory or agency, among the Indians in the neighborhood."
After having delivered his despatches, Winnemeg requested a private interview with Mr. Kinzie, who had taken up his residence in the fort. He stated to Mr. K. that he was acquainted with the purport of the communications he had brought, and begged him to ascertain if it were the intention of Captain Heald to evacuate the post. He advised strongly against such a step, inasmuch as the garrison was well supplied with ammunition, and with provisions for six months. It would, therefore, be far better, he thought, to remain until a reinforcement could be sent to their assistance. If however, Captain Heald should decide upon leaving the post, it should by all means be done immediately. The Pottowattamies, through whose country they must pass, being ignorant of the object of Winnemeg's mission, a forced march might be made, before those who were hostile in their feelings were prepared to interrupt them.
Of this advice, so earnestly given, Captain Heald was immediately informed. He replied that it was his intention to evacuate the post, but that, inasmuch as he had received orders to distribute the United States' property, he should not feel justified in leaving it until he had collected the Indians of the neighborhood, and made an equitable division among them.
Winnemeg then suggested the expediency of marching out, and leaving all things standing -- possibly while the Indians were engaged in the partition of the spoils, the troops might effect their retreat unmolested. This advice was strongly seconded by Mr. Kinzie, but did not meet the approbation of the Commanding Officer.
The order for evacuating the post was read next morning upon parade. It is difficult to understand why Captain Heald, in such an emergency, omitted the usual form of calling a council of war with his officers. It can only be accounted for by the fact of a want of harmonious feeling between himself and one of his junior officers -- Ensign Ronan, a high-spirited and somewhat overbearing, but brave and generous young man.
In the course of the day, finding that no council was called, the officers waited on Captain Heald to be informed what course he intended to pursue. When they learned his intentions, they remonstrated with him, on the following grounds:
First -- It whs highly improbable that the command would be permitted to pass through the country in safety to Fort Wayne. For although it had been said that some of the chiefs had opposed an attack upon the fort, planned the preceding autumn, yet it was well known that they had been actuated in that matter by motives of private regard to one family, and not to any general friendly feeling toward the Americans; and that, at any rate, it was hardly to be expected that these few individuals would be able to control the whole tribe, who were thirsting for blood.
In the next place -- their march must necessarily be slow, as their movements must be accommodated to the helplessness of the women and children, of whom there were a number with the detachment. That of their small force, some of the soldiers were superannuated, others invalid; therefore, since the course to be pursued was left discretional, their unanimous advice was, to remain where they were, and fortify themselves as strongly as possible. Succors from the other side of the peninsula might arrive before they could be attacked by the British from Mackinac, and even should there not, it were far better to fall into the hands of the latter than to become the victims of the savages.
Captain Heald argued in reply, "that a special order had been issued by the war department, that no post should be surrendered without battle having been given, and his force was totally inadequate to an engagement with the Indians. That he should unquestionably be censured for remaining, when there appeared a prospect of a safe march through; and that, upon the whole, he deemed it expedient to assemble the Indians, distribute the property among them, and then ask of them an escort to Fort Wayne; with the promise of a considerable reward upon their safe arrival -- adding, that he had full confidence in the friendly professions of the Indians, from whom, as well as from the soldiers, the capture of Mackinac had been kept a profound secret.
From this time the officers held themselves aloof; and spoke but little upon the subject, though they considered the project of Captain Heald little short of madness. The dissatisfaction among the soldiers hourly increased, until it reached a high pitch of insubordination.
Upon one occasion, as Captain Heald was conversing with Mr. Kinzie upon the parade, he remarked, "I could not remain, even if I thought it best, for I have but a small store of provisions."
"Why, captain," said a soldier who stood near, forgetting all etiquette in the excitement of the moment, "you have cattle enough to last the troops six months."
"But," replied Captain Heald, "I have no salt to preserve it with."
"Then jerk4 it," said the man, "as the Indians do their venison.
The Indians now, became daily more unruly. Entering the fort in defiance of the sentinels, they made their way without ceremony into the officer's quarters. On one occasion, an Indian took up a rifle and fired it in the parlor of the Commanding Officer, as an expression of defiance. Some were of opinion that this was intended among the young men as a signal for an attack. The old chiefs passed backwards and forward among the assembled groups, with the appearance of the most lively agitation, while the squaws rushed to and fro, in great excitement, and evidently prepared for some fearful scene.
Any further manifestation of ill-feeling was, however, suppressed for the present, and Captain Heald, strange as it may seem, continued to entertain a conviction of having created so amicable a disposition among the Indians, as would insure the safety of the command on their march to Fort Wayne.
Thus passed the time until the 12th August. The feelings of the inmates of the fort during this time may be better imagined than described. Each morning that dawned seemed to bring them nearer that most appalling fate -- butchery by a savage foe -- and at night they scarcely dared yield to slumber, lest they should be aroused by the warwhoop and tomahawk. Gloom and mistrust prevailed, and the want of unanimity among the officers, debarred them the consolation they might have found in mutual sympathy and encouragement.
The Indians being assembled from the neighbouring villages, a council was held with them on the afternoon of the 12th. Captain Heald only, attended on the part of the military. He requested his officers to accompany him, but they declined. They had been secretly informed that it was the intention of the young chiefs to fall upon the officers and massacre them while in council, but they could not persuade Captain Heald of the truth of their information. They waited therefore only until he had left the garrison, accompanied by Mr. Kinzie, when they took command of the blockhouses which overlooked the esplanade on which the council was held, opened the port-holes, and pointed the cannon so as to command the whole assembly. By this means, probably, the lives of the whites who were present in council were preserved.
In council, the Commanding Officer informed the Indians that it was his intention to distribute among them the next day, not only the goods lodged in the United States' Factory, but also the ammunition and provisions, with which the garrison was well supplied. He then requested of the Pottowattamies an escort to Fort Wayne, promising them a liberal reward on arriving there, in addition to the presents they were now about to receive. With many professions of friendship and good-will, the savages assented to all he proposed, and promised all he required.
After the council, Mr. Kinzie, who understood well, not only the Indian character, but the present tone of feeling among them, had a long interview with Captain Heald, in hopes of opening his eyes to the present posture of affairs.
He reminded him that since the troubles with the Indians upon the Wabash and its vicinity, there had appeared a settled plan of hostilities toward the whites, in consequence of which it had been the policy of the Americans to withhold from them whatever would enable them to carry on their warfare upon the defenceless inhabitants of the frontier.
Mr. Kinzie recalled to Captain Heald how that he had himself left home for Detroit the preceding autumn, but, receiving when he had proceeded as far as De Charmes5 the intelligence of the battle of Tippecanoe, he had immediately returned to Chicago, that he might dispatch orders to his traders to furnish no ammunition to the Indians; in consequence of which all they had on hand was secreted, and such of the traders as had not already started for their wintering-grounds took neither powder nor shot with them.
Captain Heald was struck with the impolicy of furnishing the enemy (for such they must now consider their. old neighbors) with arms against himself, and determined to destroy all the ammunition except what should be necessary for the use of his own troops.
On the 13th the goods, consisting of blankets, broad-cloths, calicoes, paints, etc., were distributed, as stipulated. The same evening the ammunition and liquor were carried, part into the sally-port, and thrown into a well which had been dug there to supply the garrison with water in case of emergency; the remainder was transported as secretly as possible through the northern gate, the heads of the barrels knocked in, and the contents poured into the river.
The same fate was shared by a large quantity of alcohol belonging to Mr. Kinzie, which had been deposited in a warehouse near his residence opposite the fort.
The Indians suspected what was going on, and crept, serpent-like, as near the scene of action as possible, but a vigilant watch was kept up, and no one was suffered to approach but those engaged in the affair. All the muskets not necessary for the command on the march were broken up and thrown into the well, together with the bags of shot, flints, gunscrews, and, in short, everything relating to weapons of offence.
Some relief to the general feeling of despondency was afforded by the arrival, on the 14th of August, of Captain Wells6 with fifteen friendly Miamis.
Of this brave man, who forms so conspicuous a figure in our frontier annals, it is unnecessary here to say more than that he had been residing from his boyhood among the Indians, and consequently possessed a perfect knowledge of their character and habits.
He had heard, at Fort Wayne, of the order for evacuating the fort at Chicago, and knowing the hostile determination of the Pottowattamies, he had made a rapid march across the country, to prevent the exposure of his relative, Captain Heald, and his troops to certain destruction.
But he came "all too late." When he reached the post he found that the ammunition had been destroyed, and the provisions given to the Indians. There was, therefore, now no alternative, and every preparation was made for the march of the troops on the following morning.
On the afternoon of the same day, a second council was held with the Indians. They expressed great indignation at the destruction of the ammunition and liquor.
Notwithstanding the precautions that had been taken to preserve secresy, the noise of knocking in the heads of the barrels had betrayed the operations of the preceding night; and, so great was the quantity of liquor thrown into the river, that the taste of the water the next morning was, as one expressed it, "strong grog."
Murmurs and threats were everywhere heard among the savages. It was evident that the first moment of exposure would subject the troops to some manifestation of their disappointment and resentment.
Among the chiefs were several who, although they shared the general hostile feeling of their tribe toward the Americans, yet retained a personal regard for the troops at this post, and for the few white citizens of the place. These chiefs exerted their utmost influence to allay the revengeful feelings of the young men, and to avert their sanguinary designs, but without effect.
On the evening succeeding the council, Black Partridge, a conspicuous chief; entered the quarters of the Commanding Officer.
"Father," said he, "I come to deliver up to you the medal I wear. It was given me by the Americans, and I have long worn it, in token of our mutual friendship. But our young men are resolved to imbrue their hands in the blood of the whites. I cannot restrain them, and I will not wear a token of peace while I am compelled to act as an enemy."
Had further evidence been wanting, this circumstance would sufficiently have proved to the devoted band, the justice of their melancholy anticipations. Nevertheless, they went steadily on with the necessary preparations; and amid the horrors of their situation, there were not wanting one or two gallant hearts, who strove to encourage, in their desponding companions, the hopes of escape they were far from indulging themselves.
Of the ammunition there had been reserved but twenty-five rounds, beside one box of cartridges, contained in the baggage-wagons. This must, under any circumstances of danger, have proved an inadequate supply, but the prospect of a fatiguing march, in their present ineffective state, forbade the troops embarrassing themselves with a larger quantity.
1 This Narrative is substantially the same as that published in pamphlet form, in 1836. It was transferred with little variation to Brown's "History of Illinois," and to a work called "Western Annals." It was likewise made, by Major Richardson, the basis of his two tales, "Hardscrabble," and " Wau-nan-gee."
2 Burns' house stood near the spot where the Agency building, or "Cobweb Castle," was afterwards erected.

6 Captain Wells when a boy was stolen from his friends, the family of Hon. Nathaniel Pope, in Kentucky. Although recovered by them, he preferred to return and live among his new friends. He married a Miami woman, and became a chief of the nation. He was the father of the late Mrs. Judge Wolcott, of Maumee, O.

The Lord said unto Noah: "Where is the ark which I have commanded thee to build?"
And Noah said unto the Lord: "Verily I have had three carpenters out ill. The gopher wood supplier hath let me down - yea, even though the gopher wood hath been on order for nigh upon 12 months. What can I do, O Lord?"
And the Lord said unto Noah: "I want that ark finished even after seven days and seven nights."
And Noah said: "It will be so."
And it was not so. And the Lord said unto Noah: "What seemeth to be the trouble this time?"
And Noah said unto the Lord: "Mine subcontractor hath gone bankrupt. The pitch which Thou commandest me to put on the outside and the inside hath not arrived. The plumber hath gone on strike. Shem, my son who helpeth me on the ark side of the business, hath formed a rock group with his brothers Ham and Japeth. Lord, I am undone."
And the Lord grew angry and said: "And what the animals, the male and female of every kind that I ordered to come unto thee to keep their seed alive upon the face of the Earth?"
And Noah said: "They have been delivered unto the wrong address but should arriveth on Friday."
And the Lord said: "How about the unicorns and the fowls of the air by sevens?" And Noah wrung his hands and wept, saying: "Lord, unicorns are a discontinued line; thou canst not get them for love nor money. And fowls of the air are sold only in half dozens. Lord, Lord, Thou knowest how it is."
And the Lord in His Wisdom said: "Noah, my son, I knowest. Why else dost thou think I have caused a flood to descend upon the Earth?"

GoDaddy Review
Review GoDaddy GoDaddy Coupons
The Good
The Bad
With a knack for eye-catching, over-the-top marketing GoDaddy has managed to attract millions of customers to their domain registration service through advertising. With that kind of volume it's a no-brainer to offer a variety of hosting services to pair with all those lonely domains.
GoDaddy Hosting Review
Actions speak louder than words, so we should probably lead off by telling you that Web Hosting Preview is proudly hosted on GoDaddy servers. From our experience hosting dozens of websites with GoDaddy nothing beats their easy set-up, quick install and feature-rich control panel…especially at such an affordable price.
GoDaddy and reliability don't always go hand-in-hand. Don't get us wrong, for the vast majority of time it's smooth sailing, but everyone once-in-a-while there's a bump in the road. We've experienced noticeable loss of service for brief periods a couple times over the last few years and of course there was the incident where all of GoDaddy's hosting servers crashed for a half day.
In terms of security we've got no complaints. Hacking of WordPress blogs was a big deal a couple years ago, but since then it seems GoDaddy has gotten there ducks in a row and improved defense against viruses and malware.

Getting back on a school schedule is our goal right now. We are a little behind with getting back to our normal bedtimes and routines. With my son starting school this year, I really needed to step up our daily routine. I have quite a few Expo dry erase boards in my kitchen. I have 4 in total, but decided to just use 2 for the routine center. My favorite way to plan and schedule is by writing them all down. The whole physical part of the process is my favorite. It is in my face and erasing and replanning is a cinch. My husbands work schedule is all crazy right now too, so this routine center really helps keep me sane some days. I will be off my normal blogging schedule for the next 2 weeks trying to get set up with the kids routine. I have always wanted to try one of those cord strung photo frames and this was the perfect opportunity to try this craft out.
You Need:
Laminated Responsibility Images- Print and press with the self lamination sheets
Paint Cards- Disney ones and the 7 section slide ones
Picture Frame
1 Piece of material ($1 at A.C. Moore)
Utility Staples
Mod Podge
Scrapbooking paper
How about all of that color. It makes the day brighter.
Attach your jute cord at the desired lengths, whether it is lengthwise or by width. The utility staple gun works great for this job.
Attach your fabric to the piece of cardboard or use the cardboard piece in the frame. Secure in the back with double sided tape.
Paint cards
Fold over but do not crease your square and snip from the corner across to get even length.
Print your letters out, apply a small dab of Mod Podge, attach your letter and paint over with the Mod Podge. Let Dry completely.
Responsibility Charting
Pop a hole through the image and put it where you want.
Top line is their everyday tasks: Make bed, pick up clothes, shoes etc.
The next line is the chosen chores for that day.
You can twist the brads if you want, but I just wanted it to be easy so I pressed down on the jute. The brad is on either side of the jute holding it in place.
**The best part about this board is that it has images of the task as well as the words, so it works double time. My son does not read, but gets the task from the picture and my daughter loves the cute pictures and reads. Now, granted that doesn't mean that the chores always get done. I swear it is like pulling teeth with them lately to do anything. I have tried so many forms of reward systems and bribes to get them to pick their room up and they will do some of it and then that is it.
You Need:
Expo Board
Washi type tape- 2 pack at the Dollar tree {striped and polka together}
Paint strips for the stars of completion.
You know I had to get in on the action as well. I went with this design for my board, because I needed a little more space for my to do list. Separating that large white space really helped me get my different tasks in order. You can always remove them and start over if you find cuter tape or it just was not set up the way you wanted it. I am enjoying my boards and so are the kids.
Please join us the first week of September for Consider Me Inspired and Clippie Dips Hop- "Inspiration in Progress." If you would like to be featured, please just send us a message so we can get your spot booked. See you soon!
How are you getting back in the groove if you schedule has changed?

There are many existing guides about how to make use of the Elm language, architecting an Elm web application, or detailing standard packages. But what if you are a seasoned Javascript developer relying on tools like npm and gulp for development; how can you accomplish the same tasks when working with Elm?
If you are on OSX or Windows, you may have already installed the Elm platform from one of the installers. There is also an official npm package which makes it easy to install and update elm from the command line, by running npm install -g elm.
npm install -g elm
You now have an easy to use binary called elm with a handful of commands.
Elm Platform 0.16.0 - a way to run all Elm tools
Usage: elm <command> [<args>]
Available commands include:
make Compile an Elm file or project into JS or HTML
package Manage packages from <http://package.elm-lang.org>
reactor Develop with compile-on-refresh and time-travel debugging
repl A REPL for running individual expressions
You can then further dig into each command by adding the –help flag.
So, for example, if you want to know more about how the repl works, you can use this command:
elm repl --help
Elm provides you with something quite similar to the elm-repl tool. It is only available from the command line, but it can be a handy environment to explore the language, especially when you are first starting out.
Once you run the command elm repl, an interactive environment opens where you can type in Elm expressions and definitions.
elm repl
> 1 + 1
2 : number
> "hello" ++ "world"
"helloworld" : String
You can do the same with definitions and ADTs.
> fortyTwo = 42
42 : number
> f n = n + 1
<function> : number -> number
> f 41
42 : number
> factorial n = \
| if n < 1 then 1 \
| else n * factorial (n-1)
<function> : number -> number
> factorial 5
120 : number
> type Either a b = Left a | Right b
> case Left 32 of \
| Left n -> 2 * n \
| Right m -> m + 1
64 : number
You can also import libraries reachable from the directory where elm-repl is running, including standard libraries.
> import String
> String.length "hello"
5 : Int
> String.reverse "flow"
"wolf" : String
The npm command is a powerful tool that can do many things, but the first step in javascript development is to run npm init to setup your project. You end up with a package.json file.
npm init
"name": "mylib",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "My awesome lib.",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
"author": "Me",
"license": "ISC"
At this point, the project does not have any dependencies, but we can add one by using the npm install command.
npm install
npm install --save lodash
The following will add a section to the package.json file and download the library into a node_modules directory.
"dependencies": {
"lodash": "^4.5.1"
A similar tool for Elm is called elm-package. To initialize a new elm project in an empty direction run the command:
elm package install
The tool will generate a default elm-package.json, which already contains a dependency on the elm-lang/elm-core package, and then downloads the library into an elm-stuff directory. As you can see, the process is very similar to the typical node process detailed above.
Feel free to open and edit the file. The fields are going to seem very familiar to the package.json in a node project.
"version": "1.0.0",
"summary": "helpful summary of your project, less than 80 characters",
"repository": "https://github.com/user/project.git",
"license": "BSD3",
"source-directories": [
"exposed-modules": [],
"dependencies": {
"elm-lang/core": "3.0.0 <= v < 4.0.0"
"elm-version": "0.16.0 <= v < 0.17.0"
You can also add dependencies with the elm-package install command. There is even a website like npm.js where you can search and browse for elm packages.
elm-package install
A useful package is 'evancz/elm-HTML,' which adds support for building HTML from Elm code. Let's add it to our project.
elm package install evancz/elm-html
The tool will prompt you to add the dependency to elm-package.json and download the package to elm-stuff. Feel free to browse its documentation to see how you can make use of it in your project.
You can also use the elm-package tool to inspect changes between package versions. Say you know a new version of evancz/elm-html has come out, but you are not sure if you want to update. You can see what has changed between versions using the diff command:
elm package diff evancz/elm-html 4.0.2 5.0.0
The command will show you all of the changes from version 4.0.2 which you have and version 5.0.0 which you would like to have. The output should give you a basis for deciding if you should update.
Now you can manually update the version bounds in the elm-package.json file and run:
elm package install evancz/elm-html 5.0.0
If Elm detects problems with your new version constraints, it will provide you errors and instructions for how to fix the issue.
The build tool for Elm projects is elm-make, which will compile elm files to javascript or HTML that you can use in your web application.
Using the project that we created in the elm package section, create a Main.elm file and add the following code.
elm package
import Html exposing (text)
main =
text "Hello, World!"
Building this project is straight forward.
elm make Main.elm
elm make Main.elm --output main.js
The elm-make project is designed to work with elm-package, so it will automatically pick up the third party packages you have installed. In fact, when you run the elm make command, if the dependencies listed in the elm-package.json file have not been downloaded, elm-make will call elm-package to prompt you to install them.
elm make
The Elm Reactor is an interactive development tool that makes it easy to develop and debug Elm programs.
elm reactor
Running the reactor in the directory of your project will serve it up at http://localhost:8000, which you should navigate to in your favorite browser. You should now see a listing of all the files in the project. Clicking on the link named Main.elm will let preview your app.
If you navigate back to the editor with Main.elm in it and edit the file, for example changing "Hello, World!" to "Hello, ElmCast!", elm-reactor will recompile in the background. Refresh the browser to see your changes.
The reactor also provides an interactive debugging environment. If you navigate back to localhost:8000, notice the wrench icon to the left of the Main.elm entry. Clicking that button will load your elm app for debugging. We will explore the features of this tool in a later article because it depends on diving deeper into the Elm language to truly appreciate.

- what is the problem with hardware AGC?
- why isn't software AGC used?
- Does changing the gain cause a disruption, or can the gain be changed at any time in the C++ libraries?
I am interested in making an aviation receiver for a single frequency. The software I have looked at does not implement any AGC function (rtlsdr_airband and rtl_fm). ...airband has AVC (AGC on the audio) but does not adjust RF gain. Also, neither turns on the tuner AGC.
So, what is one to do? The dynamic range of the dongle is not as good as it needs to be without AGC. In my application, I would rather have intermod and blocking than no AGC, but the signal of interest may range from very weak to very strong.
My testing shows that at high gain, strong signals become unintelligible - no doubt due to clipping either in the analog circuitry, or exceeding the ADC range. At low gain, of course, weak signals disappear.
Thanks in advance.

Acute sciatica — symptoms and treatment options
Acute sciatica occurs when the collection of symptoms known as sciatica come on suddenly, resulting in potentially severe pain. The pain can be debilitating and can keep you from performing everyday activities or even getting out of bed. Acute sciatica is usually contrasted with chronic sciatica, which is diagnosed if episodes begin to occur persistently for three months or longer.
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from the lower back and down each leg. When this nerve becomes compressed, the group of potential symptoms that can result is called sciatica. Acute sciatica may be brought on by sprains to soft tissues like muscles and tendons, but it can also be the result of degeneration in spinal anatomy, including herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease or foraminal stenosis.
Symptoms of acute sciatica
Sciatica is a term for a set of specific symptoms occurring due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. This condition is usually characterized by:
- Pain accompanied by tingling or numbness
- Pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttocks or down the back of one leg or calf
- Increased pain while standing or sitting, sometimes severe enough to prevent standing and sitting entirely
Prevention and treatment
Acute sciatica often resolves on its own in a relatively short amount of time. However, since the condition can be extremely painful while it lasts, most people prefer to prevent it from occurring, if at all possible. Some prevention strategies include:
- Staying active. Daily walking or other low-impact exercise will help stretch the spine and keep the soft tissues in the spine and back healthy.
- Being aware of posture. Bad posture can result in back injuries that bring on an attack of sciatica. Be sure to sit or stand straight, with weight evenly distributed on both hips while sitting and both feet while standing. Shoulders should be down and relaxed, the head held high and looking straight ahead.
If an episode of acute sciatica does occur, some treatment options include rest, anti-inflammatory medications, spinal injection and massage therapy. Some patients also attempt alternative medical treatments, such as chiropractic work, ultrasound, TENS or acupuncture. If you are experiencing acute or chronic sciatica resulting from a diagnosed spinal condition, contact Laser Spine Institute. Our minimally invasive outpatient spine surgery is a safer and effective alternative to traditional open neck or back procedures, offering our patients a shorter recovery time^ and less risk of complication.
Our dedicated team can help you receive a no-cost review of your MRI or CT scan* to determine if you may be a candidate for one of our procedures.
