Nobody wants the invasion of a scalpel, even when the cut can improve things.But after a recent diagnosis, I changed my mind. My second opinion two months ago was very different than the one I got more than 10 years ago and that mis-diagnosis back then gave a potentially dangerous mass of mostly fatty tissue, a head start to possibly rob me of the use of my left hand, and worse, become a host for cancer. This is a warning about why you should look into any growth on your body that didn't come with the original model.
What does Lipoma look likeImages of Ganglion Cysts
"It was wrong location and history was wrong." It only took internationally recognized University of Tennessee surgeon Dr. Robert Wallace, about 10 seconds to voice a contrary second opinion to a 10-year-old diagnosis. What I had growing in my left arm was no non-threatening ganglion cyst."They come from joints in the wrist and they don't usually go up the wrist, don't go forward, and aren't that size," Dr. Wallace said.The growth that appeared to be relatively smooth at rest, looked fat, and ominous when I made a fist. A lipoma. It had to be surgically taken out.
"The problem with Lipoma is there are some, though rare that can have malignant potential called lypo sarcoma," Dr. Wallace said.
Cancer is rare in these growths. This is one on a healthy woman that stays the same size year after year."One of the differences with yours compared to that lady, hers may be stable, yours was growing," Dr. Wallace said. "Kept growing, kept growing."Dr. Wallace, was a primary surgeon that successfully separated the Memphis conjoined twins several years ago. It made international headlines.To him, my case, though rare was a walk in the park. Dr. Wallace would have to make a 10-centimeters or 4-inch long cut slanted toward my body, deep enough to get to the bottom of the 7-centimeter long growth, without severing the median or minor nerves that control my left hand.

But I've already said how much Serena sucks the fun out of watching tennis for me, so I try not to think about it too much.
Truthfully, I prefer seeing Serena win instead of Vika, so "The Injured One" getting shut out would be a small consolation.
As for Maria, I like where she is with her game in many ways. If she stays healthy, I think she's now entering the peak of her career. She can play some great tennis in these next few years if she keeps that fire and desire. Her attitude remains awesome and she seems very content and happy with her life. If she continues to improve her game, there's no reason why she can't win several more tournaments and get to slam finals. Serena keeps me from making predictions in 2013. Remember, Maria made those 3 slam finals in the past two years with Serena struggling to return from her injury. She took great advantage of that. Based on the way Maria played this year, I would confidently predict at least 2 slam finals appearances with one victory for her in 2013 if Serena was out of the picture. But with her around, I'll take a cautious wait and see approach and hope for the best.
The media always hops on the Serena bandwagon and then something goes wrong. Like I think she's the best ever and all, but she's never been the dominant player for longer than 12 months at a time. She's hasn't stayed healthy that long, so it'll be a first if Serena dominates next year from beginning to end. I think she'll probably defend her 2 slams, but I'm not about to pick against Maria at Paris and IDK if Serena will be as dominant in OZ just cause the surface is slower.

Ginger Brothers
Historic Preservation Track, 2nd year graduate student
Ginger is from Northern Virginia, about 2 hours outside of D.C. Her undergrad was in Historic Preservation at the University of Mary Washington. Ginger said, "I walked into UMW ready to combine museums, folklore, and English. I am really interested in heritage tourism. My advisor at UMW told me that the program at WKU was the best and he believed I'd be happiest here."
After graduation Ginger thinks she'd like to go back to the Museum of the Shennendoah where she volunteered this past summer. She is also thinking about the possibility of working with local tourism boards to work on heritage tourism.
Fun and random factoids:
When she was little she wanted to be happy, be a good person, and archaelogist/artist. She was also obsessed with rainbows, which she called bebows.
She would love to be her childhood heroine, Stargirl Caraway, who followed her own path and believed in the power of random acts of kindness.
Though she has no pets in Kentucky, Ginger does have two dogs and a very ornery grey tabby back in Maryland.
In what free time she has, Ginger likes playing with music, art, photography, and being a movie buff. She also fishes and has lots of stories if anyone wants to hear them.

Chicago House by Tadao Ando
The Japanese architect Tadao Ando has major works in Asia and Europe. And, more recently, in the United States. Fort Worth's Modern Art Museum is his latest addition to the United States. But, did you know that long before that he designed a private residence for a couple in Chicago? Here's a look:
The Eychaner/Lee house follows Ando's trademark of pristine reinforced concrete, steel and glass. Constructed in 1998, it was Ando's first built work in the US, except for a gallery interior. I remember being an architecture student and trying pretty unsuccessfully to get a glimpse of the home: the design is turned inward, but is quite open from the court side.
Have any readers seen the home? Anyone actually been inside?

The house is somewhere in Lincoln Park. I believe it's on Wrightwood between Sheffield and Clark.
I used to live down the street from this home. In many ways it's quite beautiful, but in my opinion the structure doesn't fit with the surrounding neighborhood and architecture.
Lincoln Park: on Wrightwood (600 block), between Orchard and Clark. Awful monolithic box in a neighborhood of mostly grey/brown stones. All the surrounding neighbors called the place "The Fortress of Solitude". I always felt sorry for those who lived across the street from it.
I've been inside it once for a fund-raiser. From what I remember of it, it's pretty spare on the inside, at least in the more public areas on the first floor. Almost museum-like with lots of art - mix of modern and ancient. The pictures don't quite show it, but there is a large 2nd-floor outdoor space hat runs almost the entire length of the house, which is where the fund-raiser was held. I spent a majority of my time upstairs in the back of the house in the library, which is much more low-key and is full of books (obviously) and photos and mementos. It is a very beautiful place, especially during the summer where you can spend most of your time walking around the house outside.
It looks like a prison.
While it might not be to everyone's taste I would love to see more of the inside. I use to live just down the street and still live in the neighborhood, I can't think of a more interesting modern house that I've seen in lincoln park.
The owner bought the three flat next door to supervise construction. There were rumors that some of the concrete wasn't up to snuff aesthetically and had to be torn down and repoured, it really was an exacting process. They had to use specially coated formwork to get the smooth finish.
Despite that level of precision and perfectionism, Ando is known for having condensation on inside glass... He did an interesting house on the coast in Sri Lanka, which is much more outward looking.
I met Mr. Ando - he desgined the library at Asia University, where I learned chinese in Taiwan. His style is very brutal, lots of concrete, with a heavy focus on the interplay between light and shadow. A truly amazing architect, I'm honored to have met him.
That is one of my favorite houses in Chicago. I would love to see the interior.
The neighborhood architecture is beautiful. This is totally out of place. See the Google Map of Ando house
Boo! I used to live near this house and always wanted to see the inside. Clicked the link hoping to see pictures. I bet it's gorgeous.
Another Tadao Ando creation is in Chelsea/NYC-
the beautiful Morimoto Rstaurant owned by Steven Starr in conjunction w/ the "Iron Chef" himself.
I happen to think all those new-built, faux-French chateau/ Italian villa, single-family homes all over Lincoln Park are abominations that ruin the neighborhood, too. While I wouldn't want to see a block full of houses like Ando's, kudos to the owners for hiring an actual architect rather than buying some crappy builder McMansion.
I got to tour the house under construction, no picts though (that I know of...its been a bit and they'd be on film). They did indeed have to repour some of the sections (they even had to remove an entire portion when a floor plan change was made, a bathroom or something was changed around which resulted in having to repour the walls and floor as everything was cast in place).
The construction company used coated forms and only used them once and then sent them off to be used on other jobs. When we were there there was a group of about 4 people going around and filling in the air bubbles. they were mixing mortar and applying it _by hand_ - no tools per Ando's office.
fortress of solitude? bah, I'm with catiaelizabeth on this one, there's a lot of other crap out there. You wouldn't want an entire street of these, but there's nothing wrong with one being part of a larger streetscape.
The street is littered with houses of different styles. There's even a factory nearby! Why single out this one?
The house is amazingly beautiful. It adds to the character and charm of the neighborhood.
One of my favorite things about chicago's neighborhoods is the wonderful diversity in architectural styles. And personally, I think the contrast between this house and its neighboring vintage homes is quite beautiful. Beauty comes in many forms...
The garage door on the front is what really gets me. I always wonder when I walk past, do they raise open the garage door for the pizza delivery guy? But I suppose anyone who'd live here wouldn't eat anything as pedestrian as pizza.
The only awful style of house to have hit Chicago are those McMansion, cheap brick deal. I can't believe those things were allowed to be built.
Oh, let's not forget the Mcmansion looking condo unit buildings... disgusting!
I was in it once, maybe ten years, ago and was knocked out by its beauty. It was an early autumn evening, the light was perfect, the sheet of water in the atrium was like a piece of glass. Later, I found out someone had spent a few hours removing every leaf, every speck of windlown litter from the atrium's pool. Basically, it's a Modern version of heaven, and just as hard to get into, or, maybe, if there were a power outage, to get out of, since I don't remember any of the doors to the outside having anything as plebian as an actual handle. Then again, this place probably has its own generators in the sub-sub basement. And yes, the concrete was like silk.
!!!! I lived next door to this house 2 years ago and always wanted to know who built this. The address is 661 W. Wrightwood I believe. (I lived at 659 W. Wrightwood.)
My room mate and I called it the Robot House when we lived there. Whoever lived there had insane parties with glowing purple and blue lights shining from inside the walls, with legit bouncers standing outside that gate. Very strange.
Having been to the museum in Fort Worth, I can say that the experience of the structure with all that concrete and those windows, light & shadow--is actually quite something. Don't know if I'd want to live in a museum-like space, though.
I was always curious about this house! I found some pictures here:

- Connects 3.6 million patients to over 9,000 doctors
- 3 years old
Learn more about DoctorBase
John threw us off when we called to chat, because he thanked us for taking time to talk with him. That was when we knew DoctorBase was using Unbounce to do something pretty spectacular within their business.
"I can tell you that having a marketing agency creating your landing pages vs. having our marketers using Unbounce is…" (he laughs) "it's such a different world now thanks to you guys."
DoctorBase is an online service that allows patients to speak with their doctors. To achieve the success they've seen, DoctorBase has overcome huge legal and motivational hurdles within the medical industry, leaving few resources to employ much-needed aggressive acquisition marketing campaigns to both doctors and patients. Their marketing had to be efficient and effective in order to acquire both groups of people simultaneously while still building their platform and dealing with complex legal issues.
In order for DoctorBase to succeed, it was critical that they start aggressively to recruit doctors immediately. While the marketing team was able to drive leads to the website to sign-up, only a handful of the leads actually converted, significantly dropping the effectiveness of their marketing. To add insult to injury, the marketing team couldn't change anything on the landing pages, because their developers were busy building the core product.
Marketing is critical, but so is product development. John needed a solution that would optimize his marketing, signing up as many doctors as possible using their existing marketing activities. They decided to give Unbounce a shot.
John's team re-built the sign-up form for doctors in Unbounce in a matter of minutes, which replaced their old form. By diverting leads to the new form, they achieved a conversion rate of 31% – not bad! After a few A/B tests in Unbounce, they landed on the epiphany that changed their business: By simply removing a few unnecessary fields in the doctor sign-up process, they experienced a 30% lift in new doctors. Since each doctor represents an average of 2,000 patients, this lift dramatically increased usage, profitability and usefulness of their product. By their estimates, that one test grew their yearly revenue by $1.56 million and increased their marketing ROI by 40%.
Since seeing these dramatic results, John encourages everyone in the company to create landing pages. Unbounce has become a core service for their business with three departments relying on it. 1) Marketing drives all advertising to Unbounce landing pages to ensure the highest conversion rates. 2) Sales creates and updates landing pages to ensure the highest conversion rates. 3) Operations uses Unbounce for customer satisfaction surveys.
"I'd recommend Unbounce, because your engineers are going to love you. They're never going to roll their eyes again (…). You're going to look like a rockstar to your boss, because you're going to be able to figure out what the best message is. You're going to be able to increase your conversion rates literally within a week or less"
- John

The US army said Thursday that at least 99 soldiers committed suicide in 2006, nearly a third while in Iraq or Afghanistan, signaling a rising suicide rate compared to previous years.
The army also recorded 948 serious suicide attempts which required hospitalization or evacuation as well as two deaths with unclear causes still under investigation.
Among soldiers who killed themselves in 2006, 27 were in Iraq and three were in Afghanistan. The army also reported 44 suicides in the first six months of 2007, 17 among soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The suicide rate among active service members was 17.3 per 100,000 in 2006, compared to 12.8 in 2005 and 10.8 in 2004. In 2001 the rate was 9.8 per 100,000.
The figures showed a higher rate of suicide than found in the general population of people aged 17-45, which is 13.4 per 100,000.
The army said in its report that it had found no correlation between sending soldiers on missions and suicide rates. The study authors said personal and marital relationship problems, which are often aggravated by soldiers' absences, remained the primary motivation for the suicides.
4 Responses to "Suicide rate up among soldiers"
My soul cries out for respite,yet I find no solace.I witnessed suicide by Frag in R.V.N. Later in life I lost a beloved family member to a self inflicted shotgun blast.If they only knew the pain they have left behind .Still I can reason not the cause other than they were hurt and had nowhere to turn for trusted help.What can be done for one who is wounded in the mind without inflicting further damage I know not.I remain here,as my heart,like George Harrisons guitar, gently weeps. Pray mightily for our troops!
Soldiers do not represent the general population as they are 90% young men. Young men are overrepresented in suicide statistics. This is sad, but statistically minor.
Gandhi was brilliant and that quote shows just how brilliant. He knew what he was talking about. He served on an ambulance crew in WWI. BTW, white South Africans had the highest death rate of all of the countries who were either part of the Commonwealth or the Empire. South Africans of colour served with distinction in the front lines.
BTW, if you ever go to NYC, go find Gandhi's statue on the edge of Washington Park. It's a nice setting and an appropriate tribute.
These too are casualties of war. A human mind can suffer injuries that cannot be seen on x-rays. These injuries can occur when troops are in a battle zone, away from loved ones for long periods, while having to witness killing and mayhem daily. Just knowing ones family may be enduring hardships because of your absence could play havoc with ones mental state. Wars have always been deadly events, its always been that way, but sadly, the deaths & injuries that wars are resposible for, quite often occur far from the battle field and unfortunately, are never counted as official casualties.
"What difference does it make to the dead, the
orphans and the homeless, whether the mad
destruction of war is wrought under the name of
totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or
democracy?" Mahatma Gandhi

Spring 2014 Graduate Colloquium
english department
Friday, March 28, 2014
4:45 - 9:00 p.m.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Christopher Wilson
Respondent: Kiara Kharpertian
Venue: 2101 Commonwealth Avenue
Dinner will be provided.

email@example.com or email@example.com
Call for Papers
The "popular" has always been a notoriously difficult term to define, with historically and ideologically contingent meanings that range from the idealized connotations of folk culture to attitudes critical of or ambivalent toward mass-produced culture. What is frequently at stake in these semantic wrestlings is a sense of the boundaries that need to be erected in order for normativity and canonicity to be established, and the attendant disregard of the "popular" for those same boundaries. The "popular," then, can be variously thought of as the exorcised "other" of polite culture, the self-reflexive inquiry into signifying practices, and the conservative or subversive (re)appropriations of units of meaning. We invite papers that grapple with the boundaries produced, traversed, or otherwise called into question by the "popular."
Please submit 5–7 page papers for a 12–15 minute presentation. Papers must be submitted by March 2, Sunday, for consideration. Please email all submissions and questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. Possible paper topics include but are not limited to:
- Gothic explorations
- Popular print culture
- Working class culture
- Crime fiction and crime cultures
- Popular adaptations
- Sensationalism and mass entertainment
- Visual, digital, and media cultures
- Cultural icons and cultural iconicity
- Sport cultures and the body
- Ideological purposes of the fun
- Cultural categories, normativity, canonicity
- Global mainstream cultures and resistance
- Self-reflexivity and parody
Get Involved
We need help! Help us design flyers, market the event, or read submissions. We also need help with set-up or tear-down on the day of the event. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The average age of a retiree is typically 65. But a company in Bismarck is seeing a trend among their employees to leave the work force a few years early.
Basin Electric is facing the most retirements in the co-op's history. This past year 179 workers retired from the energy company, most of them having 30 years of service under their belts. The retirements don't come as a surprise as most of Basin's power plants began operating between 1954 and 1981, and the plants that came online in the 70's are seeing the most major turn over. HR representatives also say employees have seen financial advantage to enter early retirement. But the company says they have been planning for the turn over and are preparing for their new work force.
"Even though we did see an increased number of retirements in 2013 that wasn't a surprise for us, we've been watching those numbers. We do workforce numbers planning, succession planning at Basin electric and we are prepared for this drop off in the number of employees and we will be bringing in new folks. So this is not a surprise at all, but we will still see that trend continue," says Ellen Holt, Basin Electric.
Basin says they expect a high number of retirements for the next 3 to 5 years. The open job positions span the industry from engineering, to labor, to information technology.

Apparently, the Phoenix Suns are mighty serious about extending guard Eric Bledsoe before the Halloween deadline. General manager Ryan McDonough told the Burns and Gambo show on Wednesday that the team has been involved in talks regarding a contract extension for Bledsoe.
They hope to reach a deal before the Oct. 31 deadline that if passed would lead to Bledsoe reaching restricted free agency next summer.
"If we're not able to work out a deal (by Oct. 31), we would start next summer with Eric as a restricted free agent, but obviously we're hoping to get something done before that," the general manager said.
In the radio interview, McDonough admits that signing Bledsoe to an extension is a projection more than anything. The guard's scoring capabilities and court vision are clearly there, but Bledsoe is still a project in terms of commanding an offense. Without having evidence he can play as a true point guard might not even matter. At the least, the Suns hope Bledsoe can carve out a career as an elite defender.
Rather than the Suns fending off outlandish contract offers from other teams next summer, Phoenix hopes that it signs him to a respectable deal now and that Bledsoe outplays his contract this year. The risk in inking a deal before the season is that his ceiling is lower than the hype — and thus the market — drummed up.
So is he worth an extension that is likely to be for four seasons and at least $40 million?

Contact Information:
For more information about the aNH3 Equaply® applicator, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 217-224-5717.
aNH3 Equaply® SYSTEM
Accurate control of mixed gas and liquid phases is difficult to achieve. Conventional application systems do an excellent job of applying consistent amounts of anhydrous ammonia over a field. But they don't provide equal flow to each injector knife. Heat exchangers cool the ammonia below its boiling point before entering a flow meter and control valve. With only liquid present, the valve can exert near perfect control. However, when the anhydrous goes through the control valve it loses pressure and boils, creating a mixture of liquid and gas. This mixture is difficult to split evenly in a manifold. Therefore, distribution among the knives is random and variable.
Operation of the aNH3 Equaply® System
1. Anhydrous passes through a filter basket in a filter tower as it enters the Equaply® system from the nurse tank. A 30 mesh stainless steel screen retains foreign material as small as 1/32 inch. Magnetic material deposits on a magnet inside the basket.
2. Our Liquimatic® tower vapor separator (U.S. Patent 7,096,802 and patent pending) accepts flow from the basket filter, liquid at the bottom of the towers and vapor at the top. The tower separates the gas by letting it escape through a solenoid valve at the top of the tower. A small head pressure of liquid anhydrous inside the tower keeps pressure under boiling as the liquid enters the pump.
3. A Hypro centrifugal pump boosts pressure of anhydrous ammonia far above its boiling point. The pump assures constant pressure as the liquid is manifolded to knives.
4. A flow control system assures that the application of ammonia is constant. Variable rate application becomes easy. The Equaply® system works under Deere, Trimble and AgLeader GPS control. Stand alone systems typically have Hiniker or Micro-Trak controllers.
5. Impellicone manifolds are standard with the Equaply® system-- this, in spite of the fact that they are made by one of one our competitors. They are a backup if, for some reason, flow of 100% liquid can't be maintained.
6. At the exits from the manifolds, orifices cause streams to split equally among knives (openers.)
7. Each knife line leaving the manifold can measure pressure to individual knives. When pressures at all knives are equal, there are equal ammonia flows. Gauges can detect plugged lines and plugged orifices.
Nurse Tank connection- Previously, we made recommendations specifying 1.5" hose and connections from the nurse tank to our Equaply® system. Those recommendations have become requirements. For high flow rates, the use of dual tanks with dual lines is necessary, particularly during cold weather. To maximize flow rates we recommend that you acquire tanks dedicated to your use. See our section on tanks for details. Unlike Exactrix, our system does not need bottom outlet tanks.
VAPOR SEPARATOR- The one and only reason for heat exchangers with ammonia systems is to cool the anhydrous below its boiling point. In systems without pumps, vapor makes flow meters inaccurate and pumps vapor lock. But heat exchangers have a problem with the coolant line unbalancing flow among the knives. Also, capacity of heat exchangers is greatly reduced in cold weather. Our Liquimatic® vapor separator solves these problems, allowing high flow even in cold weather.
A hydrostat protects against over pressurization by solar heating of a standing, charged system.
Pump-The pump assembly is the second most important part of our system. We use a Hypro centrifugal pump because it does not have surges like piston pumps. A hydraulic motor drives our pump. A solenoid operated hydraulic valve turns the pump motor on and off for each row.
Perhaps the most important reason for a pump is equal distribution. The pump keeps anhydrous as a liquid until it can be split at manifolds. To understand what happens with a mixed liquid/gas stream it helps to have transparent pipes. The Red Ball rotameters in our early prototypes were those clear pipes. During startups and when there were malfunctions, one could see the vapor as it went through the rotameters. When vapor first appeared in the system it would exit in the first rotameter of a bank of four. Increasing amounts of vapor then reached subsequent rotameters. Vapor takes the easiest path. For example, if there is a circular manifold on a toolbar which tilts down to the left on a hillside, vapor will tend to go out of hose barbs which are up and to the right, liquid going down to the left.
For custom applicators, the most important reason for a pump is the ability to apply at full rate when it's cold. Conventional systems often slow down during late Fall and early Spring.
FLOW MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL- Equaply® Custom units have as standard, a MicroTrak flow sensor and a KZCO "Q-ball" servo valve. The "Q-ball", available only from KZCO, provides sensitive control at lower rates than are possible with conventional ball valves. The flow sensor signals the controller which then operates the servo valve. With our system the flow sensor has maximum accuracy because it sees only liquid.
Manifolds & Orifices- After the servo valve, we split flow at one or more manifolds. Each manifold is controlled by an electrically operated valve. Multiple manifolds with electric valves allow swath control, turning off one or more sections.
The range of rates possible with a given set of orifices is not great as we would like. This is particularly true with large seasonal temperature differences. Nurse tank pressure can easily range from 50 psig to 150 psig. Fortunately the TeeJet® orifices in the Equaply® system are quickly changed. Often, we widen the range using Impellicone manifolds.
Side dress applications typically skip a row; a 16 row toolbar will have 15 knives. In that instance, we can supply orifices for the two end rows that have 0.5, 1.5 or 2 times the rate of interior rows.
Flow verification- The Equaply® system uses a pressure gauge per row to verify row to row equality of flow. When upstream pressure and downstream pressures are the same with same size orifices, flows are the same. Pressure gages connect downstream from the knife orifices. They are mounted on a gauge tree or panel between the tractor cab and the toolbar. One can tell at a glance if a knife is plugged (high pressure) or an orifice is plugged (low pressure).
Our "Equarow" electronic row monitor and system is now a functioning prototype and we hope to introduce it late Fall 2011.
ACCESSORIES- The "Yield+" chemical injector is now in limited production, available this Fall. The Yield+ is capable of high pressure injection of N-Serve into the anhydrous stream. Other injectors for N-Serve can't be used with Equaply® Custom systems because they do not provide high enough pressures. For those desiring to inject liquid fertilizer with anhydrous, we have a companion unit with a centrifugal pump.

RAID Write Back vs Write Through
To suffer or not to suffer? That is the questions.
RAID Features
Write Through Cache
With Write Through Cache the data is written to both the cache and drive once the data is retrieved. As the data is written to both places, should the information be required it can be retrieved from the cache for faster access. The downside of this method is that the time to carry out a Write operation is greater the time to do a Write to a non cache device. The total Write time is the time to write to the cache plus the time to Write the disk.
Write Back Cache
With Write Back Cache the write operation does not suffer from the Write time delay. The block of data is initially written to the cache, only when the cache is full or required is the data written to the disk.
The limitation of this method is that the storage device for a period of time does not contain the new or updated block of data. If the data in the cache is lost due to power failure the data cannot be recovered. When using Write Back Cache a battery backup module would prevent data loss in a RAID power failure.

Portland Seattle Tacoma Vancouver letters 1890 1896
previous: Railroads June 1890
Portland, Oregon
June 21st 1890
Chas. E. Leland
My dear Son
Arrived this Morning three hours later than schedule time, but all the better for the delay gave me an opportunity to see some beautiful scenery, which we should have missed had we been on time. I do not feel anymore tired than after a trip to Phila or M'[iddle]town.
We rest here today and night. At 11 AM tomorrow we leave for Tacoma. Play there three nights, then the ride to Seattle is short, but after our week here, commencing the 30th we shall be on the train two nights going to San Francisco.
This Country is lovely. Should not mind having to live here. I telegraphed you and John on my arrival. I had written that which ever one I telegraphed to was to telegraph the other, but thinking the letters might not have reached you, I thought it best this Morning to telegraph to both.
You see I am living in a fine house and kept by Chas. Leland. All furnished in [Charles] Eastlake [Arts and Crafts] style and quite new. Will be able to tell you more about the City in a future letter. Love and Kisses to my darling children, Albert and Neppie from their loving Mother
Tacoma, Washington
TACOMA, Wash, June 23rd 1890
My dear Son.
Yes, I think there was an effort made by Mr. [H.C.] Jarrett to have the train stop at Middletown. I had told him, and also the conductor who helped Neppie up on the steps, that I was very anxious to see you as I was going so far away. He was the sleeping car conductor. I also spoke to the Passenger Conductor, or train conductor I suppose, would be the right name for him, and then again to Mr. Jarrett - so annoyed them all. I got my desire complied with, and was very glad I could.
We arrived here last Evening about 7. We passed through a fertile country and Industry flourishing on all sides. It is astonishing to see the many new villages being built up along the line of railroad from here to Portland. We have a beautiful Theatre to appear in.
I shall try to see something of the place tomorrow. They have street cars here worked by electricity. I shall see what I can through a side on these. There is a large Indian Reservation here that I hope to visit before leaving. I have addressed two of the Morning papers to you. I believe there is an afternoon paper published also, but I have not yet seen it.
Crane & Co played here last week and yesterday met them halfway between here and Portland. Both companies got out of the cars, and each greeted the other very warmly and ended in singing "Auld Lang Syne" in a very high key.
It was very funny, and was thoroughly enjoyed by ourselves, as well as the natives, the latter looking on in blank amazement, but I do not think there were a quarter of the number Mr. Jarrett gives in his interview with the newspaper reporter. I think 40 would be nearer the mark than 400.
Of Cranes Company whom I knew were Mr. & Mrs. [William Henry] Crane, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Lizzie Hudson Collier, Mrs. Georgie Drew Barrymore, Mr. [George F.] DeVere and Mr. Herbert who was at the Chestnut St Theatre [Philadelphia] during my last season at that house.
This is a great country up here! And this is a very picturesque town. The cut of the hotel shows the front looking toward Puget Sound. The street and general entrances are on the other side, the building being alike on both sides. I have a very nice room with a view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Wish all my children were here to see it.
We give 4 performances here, then to Seattle for the rest of the week. We hear that the hotel there is better than this one, but the theatre will not be so comfortable. A new theatre is being built there, but will not be finished in time for us.
The climate here I think agrees with me better than that of San Francisco, and all the company are astonished at feeling so well. Will write again before going to Seattle. Until then with love to my dear children Albert & Neppie I remain their loving Mother
June 25th 1890
My dear Son.
At breakfast was surprised by hearing from Miss [Ada] Dyas that we do not go to Seattle. Instead of Seattle we may go to Victoria, B.C., leaving here by boat tomorrow Morning at 8, arriving at Victoria at 4 PM. Eight hours ride by boat. I suppose I shall learn at Matinee whether this is a settled fact or not. And will leave this open until then.
The City Directory is billed for this place tomorrow night and will not be bought out or we could finish the week here. I wish we could. I do not like going by boat. I am afraid of being seasick.
Last night not being on the bill I went to bed at 9. Had an extended rest and sleep -- feel first class this Morning. On Monday night we had $1500 in the house. House fine last night and "take" good for both performances today. I will enclose you a Portland programme for next week. It is funny. Guess we will have to play in Chinese yet! With love and Kisses to my darling children, Albert & Neppie, from their loving Mother
Well we do go to Seattle for two nights -- returning and playing here on Saturday night. Do not take our hotel trunks with us.
Good Matinee for "Saints & Sinners". Last night house $1400. Big take tonight for "Capt Swift".
Seattle Washington
June 26th 1890
My dear Son.
Well I am in Seattle! at the above hotel which stands on a high hill overlooking Puget Sound -- the "Mediterranean of America". The view from my window is indeed very beautiful.
The City, like Tacoma, is built on a succession of hills, but I think the site is prettier than Tacoma. And I should think healthier. There is more swampland lying around Tacoma but the water is salt in the Sound so may not be aquish [malarial].
We left Tacoma at 8 this Morning by boat, only two hours ride by boat and less by rail. We were told last night that we played here two nights and returned to play S[aints] & S[inners] on Saturday night in Tacoma. The Seattle Morning papers say we play three nights and a matinee. They (the management) have got things nicely mixed up this week.
Did well in Tacoma though, 1st night, $1500, 2nd $1400. Matinee $800 and last night was certainly not less than $1400. Over $5000 in four performances -- not bad, eh!
Met a Mr. Bushbell on the boat this Morning who has been residing here a year. Says he wouldn't go back East to live for any consideration. He is a New York man too. Through his influence 41 persons have come out here to live. He is very enthusiastic over this part of the Country. The Climate is so even all the year round. I have been feeling well since my arrival anyway. Suppose it must be the Climate. Love and Kisses to Neppie and Albert from their loving Mother

Portland, Oregon
July 1st 1890
My dear daughter Neppie.
Since I left Boston I have been on the move all the time, and the past two weeks have been spent on railroads & in theatres. We are here for a week, and although we are to give eight performances, still it seems a rest to be in one spot for even a week.
We give three Matinees, one tomorrow and another on Friday -- being the 4th of July -- and one on Saturday, but we do not play Saturday night, as we leave by 6 PM train for San Francisco where we will be stationed for five weeks.
I am afraid if the heat continues, that it will injure our business for the rest of the week. This is the only hot weather we have met since leaving New York, and therefore we ought not to complain. Perhaps this will be over before we leave for San Francisco -- if not we shall have a hot, dusty journey down the coast.
I was very glad to be able to say goodbye to you in passing Middletown. I was afraid they would not give me any satisfaction about it, and until we got there I was in doubt of even seeing you. I thought the train might rush past so quick that I would not be able to see you sufficiently to recognize you. But all turned out very nice. And the conductor was indeed very kind.
The company had a joke on me for Kissing Albert. Some said they thought the boiler had burst -- others that one of the big trunks had fallen off the train. But they were all very much interested in the train being stopped for me to see my son!
We have a very pleasant party indeed. There are 24 of us and when so many people are thrown together, there is usually some disagreeable element amongst them, but so far everyone is agreeable, and our railroad journeys have been quite pleasant and enjoyable.
I am of course delighted to hear from Albert that your health is as good as can be expected "under the circumstances". He tells me that your Mama does not yet know. I think when you have told her, you will learn that she has had very strong suspicions of it for sometime. We Mothers can read between the lines very accurately, and I do not think anyone could keep your Mama in the dark very long.
You have only about four months now, and will not have any too much time to get ready in. I fully appreciate your feelings for your Mama, but again she may feel badly at you for not telling her.
From Hattie you may expect one embroidered flannel shirt and several pairs of shoes. She will have plenty of time for fancy work while at Cape May. And in August will pay you a visit when she will give you the benefit of her experience.
You ought now to secure the services of a good monthly nurse. If you leave it too late, it may be difficult to find one that would be desirable to have around. I wish I could be nearer to you and look out for these things for you, but that cannot be at present. So I can only suggest & advise you. The last month you will not feel much like sewing, so you had better think about it now, and get it over. With love and Kisses to my dear children, Albert and Neppie, from their loving Mother
Portland, Oregon
July 5th 1890
My dear Son.
We are to leave here today at 6PM and are due in S.F. on Monday at 7:45 AM. A long ride! two nights on the train.
Aunt Jack is the bill for this afternoon. The 4th was celebrated here in good old Yankee style. So many processions, fireworks &c were given that it rather interfered with our business, our Matinee being only $400.25. Last night I suppose, was more than double that amount, so not so bad for one days work. Hope we shall do as well in California as in Washington & Oregon.
The change of weather the past two days has given us all a little shaking up in the way of "Summer Complaint". I was quite queer yesterday and had two performances, but I am better today. The first taken was Miss [Ada] Dyas on Monday night. Fortunately she did not have to appear on Tuesday night, and was able to doctor herself up -- she was really very ill -- the worst case amongst us, but she is quite well now.
I hope your birthday gift reached you in time. Love and Kisses to my dear children, Albert and Neppie from their ever loving Mother
Summer Complaint seems to be gastrointestinal, judging by a Boston Globe ad of Sept 1887, saying that "Cholera Morbus, Cramps, Colic, Diarrhoea, Summer Complaints and Dysentery all cured by a teaspoonful of Perry Davis Pain Killer.

Portland, Oregon
H.C. Bowers, Manager
Sept 15th 1896
My dear Son,
Your letter gave me great pleasure to hear you had enjoyed the visit of your sister & her family. I am pleased to hear that you thought John had improved in health and appearance. I think you are quite right in saying John eats too many sweet things, That is, and has been the trouble with the whole family. John scarcely ever finished a meal at his own table, that he does not get up, go the cupboard and bring some preserves, no matter what he has eaten, to finish up with.
I felt pretty tired out on reaching this hotel yesterday 8:30 AM having been two nights on the train, but I pulled through last night all right, and had a refreshing night's rest. We had a splendid house last night. First night in ten weeks that the theatre has been open. The Public was hungry for a show I guess. I hope this and tomorrow night's will be as well attended.
Wish we were booked here for a week, Hotel and Theatre both comfortable, and only across the street from each other. We leave 9AM on Thursday for Tacoma, about 4 hours ride by rail. From there by boat to Victoria on Friday. On Saturday by boat to Vancouver, back by boat to Seattle for Monday and Tuesday next - and from there to Salt Lake another two nights on train.
From there to Kansas City. which will take two, if not three on train. But then the hardest part of the travel will be over, but by that time it will have been pretty severe. And I imagine rather exhaustive to the treasury. But we have our salaries up to date and have no right to criticise our management.
I hear that Chas Frohman is to be in St Louis while we are there. His Stock Co will be there also and it is to rehearse them in some new play that he goes there. I don't suppose he will bother much with us. Love and Kisses to Ted, Neppie and yourself from your loving Mother
Vancouver and Victoria
P.O. Box 572
Vancouver, B.C.
Septr 19th 1896
My dear Son,
We arrived here by boat this Morning at 9 o'clock, but I did not get up here to this hotel until 10:30. We left Victoria at 2 AM having gone to the boat after performance and went to bed, but the boat did not leave until 2 AM. We return the same way tomorrow. Going from here to Victoria, change boat there and go through to Tacoma, or else we would have to get off the boat in Seattle at 4 AM, not a pleasant hour but by going through we get an undisturbed nights rest and leave for Seattle at 9. Ride two hours on the water and get there at 11 AM Monday. Play there Monday and Tuesday and then turn our faces homeward. By the time this reaches you we shall be about leaving for Kansas City. Then I shall be over 1500 miles nearer to you.
I suppose you are by this time keeping bachelor's hall? It will be lonesome for you, but I hope the change will do Neppie good. Had a letter from Hattie in which she says she has not yet heard when to expect Neppie, but hopes to see her soon.
We had a fine house last night in Victoria. Arrived there 5:30 PM and boarded the boat at 12. Boat started for this place at 2 AM. Did not give me much time to get an idea of Victoria.
I shall be glad when we reach Kansas City. Will have a few nights rest and hard travel will be over. Love and Kisses to Neppie and Ted and Albert from their loving Mother
This is the first (and only) telephone number to show up.

Seattle, Wash Septr 22nd 1896
My dear Son,
We arrived here yesterday about 11 AM. Had a foggy trip through Georgian Bay and Puget Sound. All the beautiful views of the scenery were lost. We have had fog ever since we reached Portland. We leave here at 4 AM for Portland, remain there for seven hours and then start for Salt Lake. Two nights or rather three, counting tonight on the train. I do not think the trains are as tiresome as the boat. We had to take three to get here from Vancouver, B.C. and all were propellers. And the pumping noise of the machinery was too tiresome for comfort.
Who are you going to vote for? And who will be the next President? Tell me all about it. I suppose John goes for McKinley. What is [Senator] D.B. Hill driving at? I think he is going to astonish us by and by. He is playing a deep game for something.
I suppose if I keep well, I shall not see any of you before December. Nearly five months since we parted, and what a lot of ground I have been over since then, and have still three thousand miles to cover before reaching you. Love and Kisses to you my dear Son from your loving Mother

Handling Node Failover from REST API
I'm writing a script to automatically failover when a node is down, but I can't figure out the correct HTTP call. I've read through the REST API documentation, but couldn't find anything specific to failover.
The closest method I could find is Ejecting a Node from a Cluster:
curl -i -u Administrator:password -d otpNode=10.0.1.11:8091 http://localhost:8091/controller/ejectNode
The value for
otpNode is the node's "hostname" attribute, as returned by Getting a Bucket. But I keep getting" 400: Server does not exist."
So my questions are:
/controller/failOver endpoint, but there are no details given. If this is what I need, how do I use it?
Many thanks!
(Note: we currently can't use the automatic failover in 1.7.1 because we only have 2 nodes. Automatic failover requires at least 3 nodes).
You're on the right path with ejectNode, yes.
The otpNode should be similar to one in the list from the /pools/default URI. The format you have there is wrong. Note in the docs there is an example with similar format.
The code that handles this seems to agree that it's not in the list you're trying to eject it from:
Aha, thanks! I somehow missed that /pools/default returns the 'optNode' I want (I was using the 'hostname').
I'm wondering now what the difference is between the `ejectNode` and `failover` operations. Would it be appropriate to first failover the node, rebalance, and then eject the node?
You may wish to 'failover' without ejecting the node. For instance, you may want to failover to replicas within the cluster, fix the machine, then rebalance to bring it back in. You may also want to eject it, rather than bother with fixing it.

basically what i'm saying is i want to read about scary teacher/student shenanigans
if we harness all the energy that whiny teenagers exert complaining on the internet and convert it to raw productivity we would have floating cars and time travel and houses on the sun

Volkswagen isn't just going to let Ferdinand Porsche's immortal beetle get washed down the drain. After such a successful sales run, it would be a shame for the beetle to just drift away into nothingness so Volkswagen has decided to rejuvenate the bug by presenting the funky Volkswagen Ragster Concept.
Sources say the Ragster concept will be exhibited during next year'sDetroit International Motor Show where it will either create a big stir amongst the Beetle lovers or be haphazardly glanced at by passers-by. According to recent reports, Volkswagen says the Ragster isn't just a remodel of the current Beetle, but a completely re-engineered vehicle complete with an all new chassis, body panels, and interior.
The power for the concept comes from a choice of three engine packages, from a range-topping 2.0-liter to a 211hp four-cylinder, and a 1.2-liter that produces a mighty 110hp. There are also plans for a mix of turbo diesel variants.
We must say, the Volkswagen Ragster Concept does show a bit of promise. They have basically taken the Beetle , added a ragtop, and gave it some attitude. The Ragster even looks the part with the front windshield looking as if the Beetle has furrowed its eyebrows. Nicely done, V-Dub. Definitely a much better option than the next generation Beetle rendered by David Cordoso . Now we'll just have to wait and see if it can take the place of the classic Beetle.

Look no further than Bad Company for evidence that Anthony Hopkins just likes to work -- or, less charitably, just likes to collect a paycheck. It wasn't even the oddball pairing with Chris Rock, per se, that inspired so many giggles of disbelief when the earliest trailers hit the theaters (which was eons before its release), but rather, the very idea of the Merchant-Ivory thespian appearing in a buddy action-comedy. After that reaction faded, the next might have been that it was just crazy enough to work. But the titular adjective applies to every element of Bad Company, a new low in soulless swill for both producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joel Schumacher. Rock, not Hopkins, is the driving force behind whatever success this movie might muster, and the talented comedian does have moments of grace, barely even choking on the script's numerous jokes that rely on insulting, ethnic-specific name-dropping, like "He's the Tiger Woods of murder!" But that same accursed script thrusts him through so much other formulaic stereotypical nonsense -- does the black sidekick always have to be a motormouth coward during gun battles? -- that it's impossible to ignore or forgive. Furthermore, everything audiences have come to hate about Schumacher collides in one film, from the superficial sleekness of his car-commercial hues to his distracting fetishes for helicopters and mobilized SWAT teams -- all of it exacerbated by Bruckheimer's typical agenda. And Hopkins? He puts a stamp on it and mails it in. He's spent much of his career in good company, so the title alone -- as meaningless and forgettable as anything else in the movie -- should have told him to take his tea elsewhere.
