Ext.data.Model.cache keeps records of destroyed stores
Ext version tested:
- Sencha Touch 2.1
- Safari 5.1
- By default Ext.data.Model has useCache=true.
- Each record of a store configured with such model is added to the Ext.data.Model.cache that seems to be needed for associations.
- The problem is that store.destroy doesn't clear Ext.data.Model.cache. So the cache keeps a reference to each record, each record in its turn keeps reference to its store, so that memory doesn't get released.
- Define a Model with default configuration.
- Create a Store with that Model and load some data to it.
- Call Store.destroy() -> the store is marked as destroyed, store's cache is cleared, but models' cache still keeps all records of the store.
Ext.define('User', { extend: 'Ext.data.Model', config: { fields: [ {name: 'firstName', type: 'string'}, {name: 'lastName', type: 'string'} ] } }); var data = [ {firstName: 'Ed', lastName: 'Spencer'}, {firstName: 'Tommy', lastName: 'Maintz'}, {firstName: 'Aaron', lastName: 'Conran'}, {firstName: 'Jamie', lastName: 'Avins'} ]; var store1 = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { model: 'User', storeId: 'test-store-1', data : data }); Ext.StoreManager.map // test-store-1 Ext.data.Model.cache // user-ext-record-... store1.destroy() store1 // isDestroyed = true, OK Ext.StoreManager.map // no test-store-1 reference, OK Ext.data.Model.cache // BUG: all records still there, user-ext-record-..., with reference to test-store-1 each
- To configure model's useCache=false (not always acceptable) or to call store.removeAll(true) before calling store.destroy().

Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.
29 Nov 2012 2:16 AM #3
Update documentation
Thanks, could you please also add some more details about useCache flag into the documentation. Namely: 1) the main intention of this flag: tracking changes of recors with the same id? how is it used with associations? etc.; 2) advantages/disadvantages of using it; 3) when is it safe to switch it off and so on.
Thank you in advance,
15 Apr 2013 12:05 AM #4
This bug appears to be related to a problem I'm experiencing. If an object is deleted (removed from store, and erased) and then I attempt to recreate the same object (reload it from the server) I get exceptions originating from the cached object (it refers to associated data that is now undefined).

I loved this recipe. I will confess I have not done soft breadcrumbs often and found that challenging. But the taste is wonderful... especially with the yogurt sauce.

If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon. The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance.

Jenny, Valparais0, IN
OMG, it was so delicious! I LOVE it!!! I divided the recipe in half, used 1/2 cup double bran fresh crumbs (1 1/2 pieces of bread), 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (I didn't have fresh) and about 1/2 tablespoon low-fat mayonaise. I started to preheat the oven, but changed my mind, and here is what I did: brushed the non-stick pan with few drops of olive oil (you may use cooking spray) and cooked it covered on medium-low for about 20 minutes, turning once.
Victoria, Montreal, Qu
Although I cut the breadcrumbs, added a little more egg and mustard, and some thyme and fried them (I know but I knew they would be drier in the oven), I found these to be too dry.
Judy, Houston, TX
Too much bread crumbs still even though I cut it down to cup. Patties would not stick together. Did not taste salmon at all.
Marilyn Sirkis, Grimsley, TN
I made this with the following modifications, and it came out fantastic: - 12 oz salmon (because that's what came in two cans) - kosher salt to taste - added fresh dill and green onions to the salmon mixture, in addition to everything else the recipe calls for - used only 1/2 a beaten egg, but added approximately 1 heaping tbsp. light mayo to moisten the mixture. My mixture was very dry before this addition. - did not pan-fry at all; instead, just baked the cakes for 17 or so minutes - used only 1/2 c. or so bread crumbs

1969 AMC Javelin SST - Breaking Down On The Road Can Be GoodWritten by John McGann on October 1, 2007 We Chronicle One Man's Year One Experience.
"Stuff's gonna break, stuff's gonna happen; these things require maintenance. That's just typical of these kinds of cars," says Tom Lodge as we talk on the phone. He has just listed off the repairs he's had to make either on the road or in the aftermath of a road trip in the four years since the restoration of his pristine '69 Javelin. And he is not complaining about any of them, either. That makes him just the kind of guy Year One wants us all to be: not afraid to restore an old car and hammer on it from time to time.
That's the point of the Year One Experience. The Year One company decided to throw a party in 2001 to celebrate its 20th anniversary. It's held the Year One Experience annually since then. A participant ticket costs $50, and anyone can enter. The bulk of the action takes place at Road Atlanta, a 2.54-mile road course in Braselton, Georgia-right down the street from Year One's headquarters. There, attendees can take hot laps and parade laps of Road Atlanta (if they register early enough), run the wet and dry autocross course, smoke their brake pads in a 0-60-0 run, and compete in a car show. The event draws people from all across the country, and the quality of the cars is exceptional. Participants do not have to compete in any of the events if they don't want to, but the emphasis of the weekend-long party is on driving: You drive to the event, take a few parade laps around Road Atlanta, dodge some cones on the autocross course, and make a pass or three at the dragstrip. If something breaks, don't sweat it; you can fix it and continue on.
That's what happened to Tom's Javelin this year. "As I was backing into my spot at the show, I could hear this loud popping sound coming from the back of the car. I knew I had a bad axle bearing." A few of us would probably have been wringing our hands while mentally calculating the cost of a flatbed trip home, and cursing ourselves for not trailering the car. But Tom didn't even look worried. He arranged to use some garage space at Year One's building on the second day of the show and, with some help from the Year One guys, fixed his car in a couple of hours. Of course he tested the new parts by doing a huge burnout in Year One's business park.
Tech Notes
What: '69 AMC Javelin SSTOwner: Tom LodgeHometown: DeLand, Florida. DeLand recently held its quasquicentennial celebration. In English that means it celebrated its 125th birthday.
Engine: Tom wished to keep the car all AMC. Express Engine in DeLand did the machine work. Tom assembled the engine adding a custom-ground Comp cam: 243/243 degrees of duration, 0.579/ 0.579 inches of lift on a 110-degree lobe-separation angle. He ported the heads, installed Manley stainless steel 2.08-inch intake and 1.78-inch exhaust valves, and added Harland Sharp 1.6.0:1 roller rocker arms.
Induction: Nothing too radical here. The 390 breathes in through a 750-cfm Edelbrock carb and an Edelbrock R4B intake manifold. A Holley Blue electric fuel pump keeps the carburetor's float bowl full.
Exhaust: Hedman 151/48-inch headers dump into 211/42-inch pipes. A pair of Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flow mufflers keep the soundtrack interesting on the outside of the car, but quiet on the inside for long road trips.
Transmission: "It doesn't look like it, but it took a lot of work to get that trans in there," says Tom, referring to his TH200-4R. He wanted a strong overdrive to replace the 904 that originally came with the car. He had an adapter made to bolt the transmission to the engine, relocated the crossmember, and made a new transmission mount. He says the work was worth it, though, on long trips. TCI's Trans-Scat shift kit takes the slush out of the shifts, and a 2,800-rpm-stall, 11-inch JW torque converter helps launch the car.
Rearend: Tom had a custom steel prop shaft made to connect the transmission to the Currie 9-inch rear axle. It's stuffed with Richmond 3.89:1 gears on a limited-slip differential and 31-spline Currie axles.
Suspension: Tom didn't deviate much from the original AMC design. He lowered the front by an inch with Eibach springs but kept the stock rear leaf springs. To improve rear traction, he added CalTracs bars and replaced the rear spring shackles with AFCO sliders. Tom says those two components eliminate wrap-up and keep the spring rate constant, allowing him to launch predictably and consistently.
Brakes: Tom raided the AMC parts bin for his 11-inch front rotors, grabbing them from a Concord. "The rear discs," he says, "came already installed on the axletubes." They measure 11 inches, too.
Wheels/Tires: Seventeen-inch Torq-Thrusts are on all four corners. Tom had the rear wheelhouses minitubbed so he could fit 315s out back. The tires areBFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD radials.
Interior: Tom likes the stock look but didn't like the car's original blue metallic interior. He had the seats reupholstered with AMX material, added new black carpet, and dyed the plastic bits black also.
Paint/Body: Tom bought the car in 1995 and started planning the build and collecting the parts he needed, but he didn't get to start working on the car until 1999. Once it was out of storage, Tom undertook the bodywork with some help from Dennis Rainville, also of DeLand. Dennis sprayed it with Ford Ultra White paint. The car was completed in June 2003, just in time for the HOT ROD Power Tour(r) that year.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
After some discussion and trial-and-error fitment attempts, Mike pressed the new bearings back on the axle. Tom quickly reassembled his axles and took the car out for a testdrive.
We spotted Tom's Javelin early Saturday morning and liked it immediately. It had the right stance, big tires, and Torq-Thrusts, and it was probably the only AMC at the show. When we asked Tom if he was available for a photo shoot, he seemed reluctant, citing his bad bearing. "I'll have to spend a few hours fixing it," he said. "Can we take pictures? It would be cool for the story." A few hours later we were at Year One's shop pulling his left axle.While at Year One, we got to snoop around its shop. This was the 30-year anniversary of the release of Smokey and the Bandit, and Year One worked with Burt Reynolds to design a modernized version of the Bandit car, a limited number of which will be built by Year One. These are some of the cars in the process of being rebuilt.

This week's drink (a day later than usual due to the bank holiday) is a twist on a Palmetto recipe, using the amazing Rumbullion! XO along with a couple of superb vermouths, and Bitter Bastards Black Truffle Bitters. The Black truffle notes add a superb, almost ethereal balance to the drink that makes it probably my favourite creation of the last few months.
It's a simple drink to make, which I'm sure will be welcome after last week's (and next week's) more prep-heavy drinks.

MOUNDSVILLE - Following a day where St. Marys mustered only three hits in a 14-0 loss to Moundsville, Post 79 found a way to make contact, as it collected 17 hits, six of which were home runs, as it eliminated Weirton Post 10, 12-8, Wednesday during the Area 1 American Legion Tournament at Valley Fork.
''This has been a long tournament for us,'' Post 10 manager Bill Magnone said. ''We just didn't make the plays when we needed to again. We just didn't play (well).''
That wasn't the case during the first three innings as Weirton jumped out to a 7-2 lead, making it the second consecutive day the club found itself with an early lead.
But, just like the day before in a 10-7 loss to Wheeling, Post 10 slowly let the advantage slip through its fingers.
After St. Marys (23-16) closed the gap to four in the fourth, Matthew Houser and Tony Brunicardi hit back-to-back home runs with two outs in the fifth to make it a 7-5 contest.
Post 79 went right back at it in the sixth as Robby Harper scored on a fielder's choice, followed by a D.J. Burgess hit that drove in Mitch Davis to knot the score at 7-7.
Weirton retook the the lead in the seventh as Matt Cessna scored on an error, but St. Marys relied on the long ball to help seal the deal during a five-run eighth inning that saw Houser, Tyler Davis and Harper send the ball over the fence.
''This is about our 13th or 14th comeback win,'' St. Marys coach Steve Tice noted. ''We've done it a lot this season. These boys have a lot of grit. They're a very mature group.''
With the victory, Post 79 made a date with Moundsville for the second time during the tournament that will be played at 5 p.m. today.
''Any time you get into the loser's bracket, you have to come back and play one game at a time,'' Tice said. ''That's what we're doing here. We beat Moundsville before even though they got us pretty good (Tuesday). We just kind of had a down day.''
Tyler Davis earned a victory as he threw 135 pitches and went all nine innings for Post 79. He also was a triple shy of the cycle as he singled, doubled and homered.
''Tyler had just been an exceptional pitcher for us this year,'' Tice pointed out. ''We don't have very many boys who can go nine. He's not overpowering, but he doesn't get shook up.
''At the plate, he just had a tremendous amount of power. He doesn't have to swing the bat very fast at all, but he can put the hammer down when he needs to.''
In addition to Davis' offense, Houser pitched in with two homers among four hits, while Zach Romine doubled and also hit a home run.
''We have a real strong batting order,'' Tice said. ''We have some real heavyweights in there. We hit several home runs this year. We've done pretty well in that category.''
So well in fact that the 2013 campaign marks the first time in four years Post 79 will finish with a winning record.

Building The Proposal
If you are interested in participating in S-I-R, there are some steps you will need to take in developing a proposal.
It starts with developing the proposed program your institution being submitted for S-I-R funding. The institution must determine whether it has a faculty member outside of the United States in mind for S-I-R funding or needs assistance in recruiting one for the program. This will factor into the S-I-R review process.

May, Zalud Named to Pecos League All-Star GameJune 23, 2014
HOUSTON, Texas – As the Pecos League continues to gain national attention, the league has announced the rosters for the 2014 All-Star Game, which will feature two former Anderson University baseball standouts. Infielder Blake May and catcher Jonathan Zalud have been named to the midseason honor as they will represent their respective teams at Fort Marcy Park in Santa Fe, New Mexico on June 30.
May, who will be representing the Northern Division, is hitting .345 through the first-half of the grueling schedule, while driving in 34 runs and scoring 30 times for the Trinidad Triggers. At the plate, May has six doubles and two home runs on the season while swiping two bags.
Zalud, who was selected to the Southern Division team, is in his first year with the Bisbee Blue, joining former Trojan Thomas Goodman on the squad. In 29 games this summer, Zalud is hitting .340 with 16 RBI and 20 runs scored. The Sarasota, Fla. native has eight doubles with a home run while catching in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico.

Issue Date:
November, 2011
The November 2011 issue of Health Care News reports on a hidden camera investigation into the Medicaid payment practices of several states. Volunteers for Project Veritas, posing as drug smugglers engaged in child prostitution and other illegal activities, exposed waste, fraud, and abuse in several state Medicaid offices.
Also in this issue:
- If a state doesn't implement a health insurance exchange under President Barack Obama's health care law, the federal government has the authority to establish one for it ... except the Obamacare law didn't provide funding for federal exchanges, only state-created ones.
- As Medicaid costs mount to unsustainable levels, Republican governors are calling on the Obama administration to allow increased flexibility in administering the program.
- The Obama administration is struggling to find consumers willing to join federal high-risk insurance pools, even with slashed rates.
- The state and federal health insurance exchanges mandated by Obamacare are increasingly seen as a bureaucratic disaster and destructive of the insurance market.
- Federal payments required by Obamacare are being understated by as much as $50 billion per year because forecasts ignored the cost of insuring many employees' spouses and children.
- HHS is trying--with little success--new tactics in an attempt to get reluctant states to develop health insurance exchanges as mandated by Obamacare.
- Federal government policy is causing an increase in shortages of lifesaving drugs, argues Richard Epstein.

Assuming the existence of enough large cardinals (I'm not sure whether I mean in the original V or in L(R), do whatever is standard), is the partially ordered class of cardinals order-isomorphic to something simpler?
If so, what is the weakest large cardinal assumption that gives this result? Is L(R) ≠ L sufficient?
My best guess would be that it is order-isomorphic to $\omega \cup (\operatorname{Ord} \times \operatorname{Ord})$, with all elements of $\omega$ being smaller than all elements of $\operatorname{Ord} \times \operatorname{Ord}$, and $\operatorname{Ord} \times \operatorname{Ord}$ having the product partial order.

The Best New Shoe Designers to Know
Get to know three up-and-coming shoe brands—Rupert Sanderson, Aquazzura and Paul Andrew—poised to become very familiar soles
CHOO. MANOLO. LOUBOUTIN. You can thank Carrie Bradshaw and her fictional shoe-obsessed sisterhood for making those brands household names more than a decade ago. Though "Sex and the City" may have devolved from cutting-edge television show to fluffy film franchise, women's love affair with heels remains very much intact. There's a reason why department store shoe floors are bigger than ever.
Elegant and bank-account-busting designs, however, aren't limited to the above-mentioned holy heel trinity. In the past few years, brands like Gianvito Rossi, Tabitha Simmons, Charlotte Olympia and Nicholas Kirkwood have emerged to diversify those outsize shoe departments.
Now there are three more to add to that list: Paul Andrew, Rupert Sanderson and Aquazzura. Chances are you've already admired their work—whether Mr. Sanderson's not-too-pointy Elba pumps or Aquazzura's whip-laced gladiator Amazon sandals—on a stylish girl. You just didn't know who made the shoe.
Paul Andrew, a 34-year-old British-born designer, cut his cobbling teeth working for Calvin Klein and Alexander McQueen. He also spent nearly a decade at Donna Karan, an experience that indoctrinated him in the gospel of wearability.
"When I decided to launch my own business about a year and a half ago, the market was so flooded with these chunky platform shoes," Mr. Andrew said. He set out to create a collection of refined single-sole heels but quickly realized that the lift of platforms provided comfort, and decided the slim stiletto could use some scientific improvement. "I've added all these hidden tricks into my shoes in order to make them comfortable," said Mr. Andrew, citing a specially designed padded insert. "It has memory, so it sort of cups the ball of your foot."
Mr. Andrew, who is based in New York, visits the Italian factories that produce his shoes at least once a month. There, he hand-crafts the foot-shaped forms, known as lasts, used in the construction of his shoes.
Working with Italian tanneries, he's developed materials like triple-dyed suede, which allows for ultra-saturated shades of deep teal and electric violet—and also enhances the leather's durability. "I think one of his fortes is the materials he uses," said Barneys fashion director Tomoko Ogura. "He often speaks about the richness of the fabrics or skins that he's using and that translates really well into his collection."
This fall, Barneys began carrying Mr. Sanderson's shoes as well. "They are true shoe designers," said Ms. Ogura of the two. "They're not megabrands making shoes. They really are committed to the craft of shoemaking."
Mr. Sanderson, 47, owns his factories in Italy. "I was used to that when I worked with Sergio Rossi," he explained. "The factory was just there and you went and worked with artisans and technicians to get the shoes made."
Mr. Sanderson established his line in 2001, and though he's always had a fan base in the U.S., selling his wares at Barneys is giving him more stateside visibility. He's also been working with a business partner in Hong Kong, where he owns two stores.
At Barneys, you'll find jaunty flat tassel-topped loafers and his very popular Estelle sandal, a skinny heel with Rococo cutouts. Like Mr. Andrew, Mr. Sanderson relishes the opportunity to obsess over details the old-fashioned way. "It comes from the simple business of making beautiful lasts and heels and proportions, and getting those sorts of things right first," he said. "I always feel more enchanted by the simple line."
That simple line is best seen in Mr. Sanderson's Elba (pictured), a graceful pump that has won many fans since he introduced it last year; he's already made the sleek and serious style in various colors and leathers. The designer isn't, however, immune to a bit of cheekiness. Another signature shoe, the Frisia sandal, is topped with plush, poppy-colored suede lips. "Everyone loves a lip," he said.
A great design that resonates with women can take a new brand far. That's the case with Florence-based Aquazzura, which launched in 2011. The Colombian-born founder, Edgardo Osorio, 28, struck gold with a few styles like his aptly named Amazon and his very flattering suede lace-up Belgravia pump (pictured) that zips up the back.
"[The Amazons] created a nice frenzy," said Hayley Bloomingdale, social media manager of the retail website Moda Operandi, which has sold versions of the shoe in red and yellow snakeskin. "They're very fierce." The style is currently available on the site in black leather.
"That shoe went with me to every city during fashion weeks," said Holli Rogers, fashion director of fashion e-tailer Net-a-porter, of her own black calfskin Amazons, adding that the open-toed silhouette offered her much-needed relief from pointy-toed shoes after weeks of travel.
Ms. Rogers also noticed the Belgravia gracing the feet of many fashion editors during the last round of shows.
Like Mr. Andrew, Mr. Osorio is intent on making his shoes as comfortable as four-inch stilettos can be. "He has been so thoughtful in his approach; fit is really important to him," said Ms. Rogers. "A lot of his friends are female and he tests [the shoes] out on everybody before they go into production to make sure [the customers] were happy."
Just as they're gentle on the soles, Aquazzura shoes have slightly gentler prices that tend not to top the $1,000 mark. "The price has been the other key factor in his success," added Ms. Rogers. "But all the factors came together: great fit, price and design. And that's the perfect product."

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
Dreams Deferred: The Costs of Ignoring Undocumented Students
The political debate over undocumented immigrants in the United States has largely ignored the plight of undocumented children who, for the most part, have grown up and received much of their primary and secondary education in this country. A new report from the Immigration Policy Center by Roberto Gonzales, Wasted Talent and Broken Dreams: The Lost Potential of Undocumented Students, makes clear that without a means to legalize their status, these children are seldom able to go on to college, cannot work legally in the United States, and therefore cannot put their educations to good use. Moreover, at any time, they can be deported to countries they barely know (www.ailf.org/ipc/infocus/WastedTalent.pdf). This wasted talent imposes financial and emotional costs not only on undocumented students themselves, but on the U.S. economy and U.S. society as a whole.
Undocumented School-Age Kids: How Many? Who Are They?
- Children account for 1.8 million (or 15%) of the roughly 12 million undocumented immigrants now living in the United States. About 56% of all undocumented immigrants are from Mexico, 22% from other nations in Latin America, 13% from Asia, 6% from Europe and Canada, and 3% from Africa and other regions of the world.
- Roughly 65,000 undocumented children who have lived in the United States for five years or longer graduate from high school each year.
- These children, born abroad yet brought at an early age to live in the United States by their parents, have some association with their countries of origin, but their primary identification is with the United States. Many of them have been in this country nearly their entire lives and have attended most of their K-12 education here.
- These children are honor roll students, class presidents, valedictorians, and aspiring teachers, engineers, and doctors. Nevertheless, because of the numerous legal and financial obstacles confronting undocumented students, many are unable to apply to college. It is estimated that only between 5 and 10% of undocumented high school graduates go on to college.
Access to Higher Education: Wages Increase and the Tax Base Deepens
- The economic advantages of a higher education for both workers and the economy are clear. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers who lacked a high-school diploma in 2006 earned an average of only $419 per week and had an unemployment rate of 6.8%. In contrast, workers with a bachelor's degree earned $962 per week and had an unemployment rate of 2.3%, while those with a doctorate earned $1,441 and had an unemployment rate of only 1.4%.
- Studies of undocumented immigrants who legalized their status through the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 reveal that legal status brings fiscal, economic, and labor-market benefits to individual immigrants, their families, and U.S. society in general. The U.S. Department of Labor found that the wages of those immigrants who received legal status under IRCA had increased by roughly 15% five years later. Given a chance, now-undocumented students will improve their education, get better jobs, and pay more in taxes.
- A 1999 RAND study found that, although raising the Hispanic college graduation rate to the same level as that of non-Hispanic whites would increase spending on public education, these costs would be more than offset by savings in public health and welfare expenditures and increased tax revenues resulting from higher incomes.
- For instance, a 30-year old Mexican immigrant woman with a college degree will pay $5,300 more in taxes and cost $3,900 less in government expenses each year compared to a high-school dropout with similar characteristics.
Experience Shows That Access to Higher Education Helps Kids Without Burdening Institutions of Higher Learning
- Ten states—Texas, California, Utah, Washington, New York, Oklahoma, Illinois, Kansas, New Mexico, and Nebraska—have passed laws permitting undocumented students to qualify for in-state tuition if they attended and graduated from high school in the state. In addition, New Mexico and Texas allow undocumented students to compete for financial aid.
- The experience of these states reveals that the number of undocumented students is far too small to deprive native-born students of college admission slots or financial aid. For instance, three years after Texas passed a law allowing undocumented students to qualify for in-state tuition rates, the total number of students paying in-state tuition under the new law amounted to only 0.36% of all students attending public colleges and universities in the state.
Given a Chance, Undocumented Students Can Help Fill the Growing Demand for High-Skilled Workers
- Nine of the 15 occupations which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expects to grow at least twice as fast as the national average between 2004 and 2014 require an Associate degree or higher.
- In four of these higher-skilled occupations, immigrants accounted for a significantly greater share of workers than in the U.S. labor force as a whole in 2005: medical scientists (46%), computer software engineers (35%), database administrators (21%), and postsecondary teachers (20%).

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian manifold. Assume $\tilde M$ is a connected Riemannian $m$-fold cover of $M$. Is it true that $$\mathop{diam}\tilde M\le m\cdot \mathop{diam} M\ ?\ \ \ \ \ \ \ (*)$$
This is a modification of a problem of A. Nabutovsky. Here is yet related question about universal covers.
You can reformulate it for compact length metric space --- no difference.
The answer is YES if the cover is regular (but that is not as easy as one might think).
The estimate $\mathop{diam}\tilde M\le 2{\cdot}(m-1){\cdot} \mathop{diam} M$ for $m>1$ is trivial.
We have equality in $(*)$ for covers of $S^1$ and for some covers of figure-eight.

Conservative Christian group, One Million Moms, is upset with Cedric the Entertainer's new TV show "The Soul Man" because it is not "family friendly."
The group asserts the show is a "mockery of Jesus Christ" and the christian faith, saying it does not represent how pastors really are.
One Million Moms also does not believe Niecey Nash represents a good christian woman, saying, her attire and persona is inappropriate and highly sexualized.
"The Soul Man" also stars Wesley Jonathan ("What I Like About You"), John Beasley ("Everwood") and Jazz Raycole ("My Wife and Kids").
The group began a petition against the show seeking donations to have the show cancelled.
TV Land has not released a statement on the petition.

The Cult Of Assassins. {RP} - 02-19-2011, 10:44 AM
1. If you have never RPed with me before, then you MUST PM me with your intro for approval. Do NOT post in the RP until you have been approved. If however you have RPed with me, then feel free to join.
2. Obey the main RPG forum rules. No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. Vampires and werewolves are allowed; absolutely NO Meyerpires or Meyerwolves or you will be kicked.
3. This is an M rated RP so be prepared for some violence. Please don't join if you are young and/or overly sensitive.
4. There are no character forms, so you must introduce the character within your intro. You can have more than one character if you wish. Please try to have at least one character within the Assassins.
5. Try to post at least 2-3 sentences per post, m'kay?
The Assassins were an order that existed from around 1092 to 1265. Posing a strong military threat to authority within the Persian territories, the Assassins captured and inhabited many mountain fortresses. The name 'Assassins' was originally derogatory and used by their adversaries during the Middle Ages. Preserved within European sources, they were depicted as trained killers, responsible for the systematic elimination of opposing figures. The origins of the Assassins trace back to just before the First Crusade around 1080. It is difficult to find out much information about the origins of the Assassins because most early sources are either written by enemies of the cult or based on legends. Most sources dealing with the orders inner working were destroyed with the capture of Alamut, the Assassin's headquarters. The first Grand Master founded the cult for his own political and personal gain and to also exact vengeance on his enemies. The Assassins were generally young in age giving them the physical strength and stamina which would be required to carry out these murders. However, physical prowess was not the only trait that was required to be an Assassin. To get to their targets, the Assassins had to be patient, cold, and calculating. They were generally intelligent and well read because they were required to possess not only knowledge about their enemy, but his or her culture and their native language. They were trained by their masters to disguise themselves, sneak in to enemy territory and perform the assassinations instead of simply attacking their target outright. In short, the Assassins were feared.
That was then. This is now, in the twenty first century, and the Assassins cult is being singlehandedly revived by a new Grand Master. He does not reveal his name, but instead uses his title to strike terror into his enemies and respect into his followers. The Grand Master's motives are similar to those of the first Grand Master. He wishes for revenge on his enemies, and also for personal gain. The Grand Master carries a grudge against the United States of America. He betrayed the country at one point and was forced to flee for his life. Now, his twisted plan is simple. He will direct his Assassins to murder political figures in other countries, leaving false evidence that points towards America as having ordered the assassinations. This will, he hopes, prompt the countries to declare war on the United States, thus completing his vengence. The Grand Master does not care a jot about the lives of civilians who will be at risk if his plan comes to fruition. All he cares about is getting revenge on his old country, and also gaining as much riches as he can get hold of. The Grand Master has a core few of Assassins on his pay roll. Some are vampires; others are trained fighters, mercenaries or bounty hunters. All he asks is that they be skilled in killing. The Assassins will be paid their blood money when they bring the Grand Master proof that they have carried out their task.
World war is threatened; nowhere is safe. There is but one chance that exists to prevent this. A small group of people who have learned of the cult have come together to try to work together to stop the Assassins and bring down the Grand Master. They are vastly outnumbered; there are Assassins from all walks of life and from different countries, so their task will be difficult and sometimes, dangerous. Yet it is the only way to save the world from being rent with war. They must put aside all petty arguments and squabbles in order to work together for the greater good. The Grand Master has a weapon worse than nuclear bombs, worse than weapons of mass destruction... he has secrecy, and he has highly trained killers who carry out his every wish. It will not be easy to stop this man from plunging the world into a horrendous world war which can only end in the destruction of everything that is good. It will be dangerous; once the Grand Master learns that there is a plot afoot to thwart his plans, he will stop at nothing to stop it and to get rid of the group opposing him. But it has to be done; for the good of everyone living in the free world.

The Bowling Green Fire Department is constantly learning new skills and brushing up on old ones.
"We do training everyday. We're trained everyday... sometimes twice a day on various skills be it firefighting, extrication to medical calls," said Bowling Green Fire Department Training Captain Jason Sowders.
Today, it was an extrication simulation using old cars and equipment at Causey's Auto Sales, that challenged the firefighters to devise strategies in the rare event the department refers to as a "side-underride" where a tractor-trailer jack-knifes and a passenger vehicle gets trapped beneath.
"We created this scenario to be able to lift the trailer portion off the vehicle, and simulation of the driver trapped in the driver side compartment. So we'll try to lift the tractor trailer up off the vehicle with what we call air bags... and we use box creeping to reach a contact point," said Sowders.
Sowders says they would attempt to save the patient within what they say is the "golden hour."
"To give the patient the best chances of recovery from the traumatic injuries or blood loss, so we try to get them to the medical facility," said Sowders.
The exercise the department a better idea of what resources they need to save lives in situations like these.
The Bowling Green Fire Department will continue to hold their extrication training at Causey's Auto Sales for the next two days.

I'm thinking about purchasing Hoya HD 58mm Circular Polariser and I was wondering whether it's a good choice and also whether it's for an appropriate price. What do you guys think?
Yes, this is an excellent polarizer. Probably the best there is and certainly the best one I own. I paid much more than that for the 77mm.
Hoya HD polarizers let about 1 stop more light pass through than normal or multi-coated ones. This is a tremendous advantage.
I use the site Lenstip.com Polarizing filters test to understand performance on filters (UV and Polarizing). Their analysis of the real-world performance of filters is reliable and repeatable. I like that they provide an extensive lineup of comparable products.
I didn't see the exact model of the one that you reference, but the Hoya filters do rate highly.

Vegan Hacker
Vegan Hacker is a really fun vegan (no meat, milk, dairy, eggs, etc) food hacking event that happens on the last Thursday of every month. The goal is to get together and "veganize" a traditionally non-vegan food group-- and then get a little crazy with it. Previous Vegan Hacker events have made twinkies, corn dogs, COOKIES, fondue, burgers, and more! Everyone is welcome to participate. Contact us if you have questions, comments, or an idea for a hack!
'Surprise! There is an unusually-scheduled (the first thurs instead of the last) low-key vegan holiday cookie making event on December 5th at 7pm. Come prepared to try experimental vegan holiday cookie recipes, veganize old favorites, and eat other people's cookies! We might also do a mellow coffee roasting workshop on the side. For reals though, we're serious about cookies.'Especially weird ones.
Visit our website (http://www.veganhackersf.com/) to get further details about each hack, pictures & descriptions of what we made, announcements, and other fun stuff.

Hi, I have looked around but all discussions regarding this seems to end around 2009.
The eeepc is currently dual booting ubuntu 10.10 and win vista.
vista only boots some of the time, but when it does it works great.
ubuntu runs great except for internet browsing, which is dog dead slow, doesnt matter the browser, firefox, chrome, etc. and anything to do with graphics.
ive tried numersous things to get the graphics going to see if thats the issue, i.e. not using any drivers but that which came with, installing official ones, non-official ones etc. running metaciy, or the other ones, or running wiithout any of the fancy visuals. including installing the latest ubuntu flash, from various sources,, the latest non ubuntu specific ones, the linux make do ones.....nothing seems to help.
I have forgotten most of what I went through to get averything working from feisty, plus a lot has changfeed since then, and I'm not going through it all again unles there is no other option bar going skint for the first half of next year.
My son want to be able to play the odd windows games/run the odd windows programs through wine or maybe virtual box, (not paying another penny to micro$oft so dual boots or vb images will have to be donated licence keys).
He wants to be able to play certain browser games, like angry birds, CN games and lego hero factory are deal breakers (else we have to exchange his birthday present for something else that will not last him the expense).
But he also needs to be able to do his school work on it, and learn other computer related stuff, as well as general watching streaming/dl'd vids etc...
We want this to last him until it physically breaks or is no longer capable for him to do school work upon.
So, basically, which is the best os to have on this eeepc that can do what we want it do. Was thinking of just upgrating to the latest lts 12.xx and fiddling from there, but cant seem to find any info on it for this eeepc.

Looking at a new rifle.
Posted 28 October 2012 - 05:03 PM
Henry H010 45-70
Marlin 1895 45-70
Marlin 336w 30-30 not really wanting the 30-30 to much but still lookin at it.
So does anyone have any experience with the henry or the marlin 1895 and 336w???

I like that octagon barrel always have like that. Find myself leaning towards the Marlin a lot.
Bisley that is exactly why I am wanting the 45-70 I will be able to use it for deer pig bear and my neighbors stupid pitbulls if they dont shut up lol. Been trying to decide on a caliber for a while and really decided the 45-70 is what I am looking for just because of how versatile it is.
I was at bass pro yesterday picking up some fly tying goodies and decided to take a look at the 1895 sheesh forget it take a number wait and so dang crowded upstairs it wasnt funny. Guess I shall go to Barnwood arms and talk to my ole buddy Joe and take a gander.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 05:46 PM
Something else to consider is the Marlin Guide Gun, the real short model. While you will have to pry the Cowboy Model from my dead fingers, the 26" octagon barrel do not make it a very practical gun. Plus it is almost too pretty to take out..........almost . This is where the Guide Gun would come in extremely handy.
Posted 30 October 2012 - 06:26 PM
Now the Marlin will be able to shoot hotter loads and mount a better choice of sights than mine but I can't picture a bipod or a holographic sight on a lever gun
But I also love my 71 Winchester
Does the Marlin come with Micro grooving or regular rifling as the micro didn't in the past work well with cast bullets and cast are easy to make and shoot in the 45-70 2400 works very well as RL7 with a 300 jacketed 32 in barrel Smokin! the rear sight would not go low enough for 100 yards shot over the target
Posted 30 October 2012 - 07:19 PM
Does the Marlin come with Micro grooving or regular rifling as the micro didn't in the past work well with cast bullets and cast are easy to make and shoot in the 45-70
Soooo tired of hearing that fictitious rumor. Why do the 39a"s with the micro-groove shoot lead so well? Same principle, same metal, same physics.
Never said the Winnies weren't smooth, they should be as loose/sloppy as they are compared to the Marlins . And the mechanics are so much simpler, making it way quicker and easier to clean. You can undo the one screw in the lever on a Marlin and pull the lever, follower, and bolt all out to clean. It's just their QC that has been lacking for a while

Go to this link and have a read http://www.leverguns...ove-barrels.htm
Note it states appropriate size for the barrel Over size so people using standard sized cast bullets under performed they had to slug there gun and get over sized bullet
The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 1973 data for 45-70 page 130 Bullet Diameter Cast 456 Gun used Marlin 1895
So sizing makes a difference but as you see dropped from the mold its 456 how was the person to make it oversize?
So what mold do you cast from and what size does it drop?
Cowboy rules state no gas check will be used
Microgroove barrels early on earned a reputation for not shooting cast bullets well. In fact, when loaded with bullets that are the appropriate size for the barrel (and cast to a suitable hardness and wearing a GC), these guns are capable of fine accuracy with cast bullets. Some of my favorite cast bullet rifles wear Microgroove barrels.
The historical data used in this article was taken in large part from William S. Brophy's book "Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them". For more information on Marlin firearms, this extraordinary book is highly recommended.

I love my henry .22 they are sweet that is one reason why the henry 45-70 is in the fold.
Sorry guys, I'm a huge Henry Fan. While I don't hav any of the big bores, I hve been around a lot of them shooting silhouette and they all perform great. And you talk smooth, you'll trash can any of the others after handling a henry. And the lifetime guarantee is for real. Even if they rarely need it. My money is going for he Henry, 100% american made too.
Here's an interesting posting on the Marlin forum.
I dont use holographic sights or bipods infact I dont use them on any gun. Not my thing.
I can't picture a bipod or a holographic sight on a lever gun
Posted 31 October 2012 - 05:20 PM
Same with scopes, my dad said, if you can hit anything with iron sights, then feel free to get a scope. But if that scope breaks and you cant use iron sights what are you gonna do?
Posted 31 October 2012 - 06:40 PM
Bipods just never have needed one. I dont laydown I dont shoot off of anything for my needs and me just aint needed.
I may put a 3x9x40mm scope on it just all depends but if I do I will use see through mounts so if I need iron sights I have access to them fast.

Sorry Braz, but the lack of loading gate (loaded from the tube like a rimfire) is a deal breaker or me. Not on a .45-70, uh-uh.
I agree. Even though I'd actually prefer being able to load and unload through the tube 95% of the time, I'd want a side gate on a big bore lever gun. I think it was Elmer Keith that said the big bore lever action was the best gun for the great bears of Alaska because it is fast shouting and it is also the only gun where the magazine can be topped off without temporarily disabling the weapon by opening the action or dropping a magazine box. I will probably never hunt in an area where I need to worry about that but it has always stuck in my mind.
For a while Puma made a .454 lever gun that had both loading features. That would sure be nice. I sure wish someone would come out with an affordable lever carbine in .500 S&W.

Its so frustrating because every time I try to hit a high note my larynx rises and feels like a ball clogging my throat up, which stops me from singing to my full potential. Can anyone please give some advice?
An exercise that I learned from a voice teacher that was very focused on taking untrained singers to their "next level" (although she was a Wagnerian-level soprano ;-) might address your issue. It helps you get the throat "out of the business" of making the tone, instead creating the pitch all the way from the diaphragm (and lower). This way the larynx, et al, can stay relaxed as you climb in pitch, instead of clenching.
I'm not sure I can convey it only with words, but I will try:
My teacher called all this the "THE-UHs". It sounds pretty complicated, but once you get comfortable with the "bellows" work, the focus on relaxing your throat can be added later. You are aiming for high notes that have strong, firm support from lower down in your body, but a completely relaxed throat - feel your larynx with your hand!
It seems that you may be describing the action of constricting your vocal chords to "squeeze" out a higher note. I am not a professional vocalist, but I would like to attempt to give you my understanding of vocal technique from a choral perspective at the college level.
In any musical endeavor, technique is very important to prevent harm. Most musicians use their hands to make their music, and so are at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome. Louis Armstrong, the famous jazz trumpeter, managed to injure his lips through poor technique (For this source, search "embouchure" after expanding the bio). And just recently, Adele underwent vocal surgery for the nodules she developed in her vocal chords after years of poor vocal health. Suffice to say, you want to get this right.
That being said, technique generally works by limiting harmful techniques. In music, this generally means staying relaxed. Your neck is no different from a pianist's forearms in this case. You need to avoid "squeezing" the note out of your throat. It's what I believe is causing the feeling of your throat closing up; you're literally squeezing it closed with the muscles in your neck!
It's at this point that my discussion of vocal technique becomes less authoritative, and I am frankly unable to vouch for the accuracy of what follows. I'm merely passing along what I've been told by professionals.
You can imagine your lungs and throat to be a balloon filled with marbles (where the marbles represent air molecules). To hit your high notes, you need marbles to flow out of your mouth faster. There are two major ways to do this: you can squeeze your throat closed, or you can squeeze your lungs harder. Squeezing your throat will result in progressive damage to your voice over decades. Squeezing your lungs will cause less damage, which likely will not accumulate noticeably. Keeping your chest open and breathing deeply (yoga breaths; your stomach should move away from your spine when you inhale, and move towards your spine when you exhale) make this process much easier.
In short, my advice, in the most cynical light possible, is "don't do that". It's obviously not effective for singing at the level you're attempting, and it's dangerous for your voice. To achieve a similar effect, relax your throat and breathe deeply. You'll find at first that it's very difficult to sing without tensing up. You'll likely have to re-learn how to sing without that tension. If this advice is not enough for you, you'll probably need to have a voice teacher evaluate your technique and give some instruction. Good luck!

Internship grad designs taxi of the future
Taxis are everywhere—in every major city from New York, to Paris, London and Tokyo. So why hasn't there been any significant improvement in their design or technology? For years, Ford Crown Victorias have been congesting major thoroughfares around the United States, Mercedes-Benz cabs patrol much of the streets in the entire European continent. It's high time designers put taxis into perspective to benefit the majority of the population who commute publicly on a daily basis. Fortunately, one such designer is paying attention. His name is Slavche Tanevski and his work centers around the Mercedes-Benz Nimbus concept city cab. He pictures the Nimbus to be the cab of the future, specifically… Continue Reading »

WELLSBURG - Representatives of three Brooke High School clubs presented $2,030 for the Brooke County Animal Shelter during Tuesday's Brooke County Commission meeting.
The money was raised by the Paws and Claws, Leo and French clubs through their second Spring Festival, the sale of $600 in T-shirts, $400 in sponsorships and the collection of coins at four local schools, said Joyce McGeehan, adviser for the French Club.
Held May 18, the Spring Festival included a variety of activities for area residents and their dogs, including an agility course, races and other contests. Most were run by students in the three clubs, said McGeehan, event coordinator.

LENDING A HAND — The Brooke High School Paws and Claws, Leo and French clubs teamed to raise $2,030 for the Brooke County Animal Shelter through their second Spring Festival held May 18. The shelter also received a $210 donation from the school's Key Club. On hand at Tuesday's Brooke County Commission meeting were, from left, County Dog Warden Chuck Shreve; French Club member Sarah Wagstaff; shelter Director Donna DeJaro; Paws and Claws member Toby Finsley; French and Leo club member Ashley Clutter; Paws and Claws adviser Michelle Wade; and Leo Club adviser Emily Beall. - Warren Scott
For example, French Club member Emma Wells took photos of dogs with their owners for $5 each, and the photos were developed by Action Images of Wellsburg at no cost.
There also was food for sale and free ice cream donated by Cold Stone Creamery of Wheeling and the Weirton Wal-Mart.
Also on hand were dogs and cats from the animal shelter available for adoption, with the cost for adopters to spay and neuter the animals waived, thanks to funds raised by the festival.
Other students who participated included Kayla Hancher, Sarah Wagstaff, Courtney Fiber, Hannah Armstrong, Tobey Finsley, Lizzie Chuma, Lindsey Willis, A.J. Jeter, Cole Armstrong, Shelby Fisher, Brittany Stapleton, Ashley Brown, Ashley Clutter, Sydney Johnson, Alyssa Rice, Michelle Woodstuff, Tara Gray, Dante Rosso, Brittany Johnson, Alyssa Neville, Kylie Toner, Kylie Selman, Emma Simon, Brianna Meyers, Jackie Carbasho and Destany Walsh.
In addition to McGeehan, faculty involved in the event included Emily Beall, Leo Club adviser; Michelle Wade, Paws and Claws adviser; Shari Buffington, Ellen Larter, Ede Ashworth and Nathan Marshall.
McGeehan said, "Our clubs would not have been able to raise as much money as they have these past two years if not for individual sponsors Thomas Flaherty, Mr. and Mrs. William Grooms, Ede Ashworth, Shirley Cuomo and Joe Cuomo."
McGeehan said four schools participated in the coin collections, and Wellsburg Middle School will be presented a plaque in August because it raised the most money of the four.
She said this year's event was held in memory of Cheryl Flaherty, a retired teacher who loved children and animals.
County Commissioner Tim Ennis also presented to shelter Director Donna DeJaro $210 raised for the shelter by the Brooke High School Key Club.
County Commissioner Jim Andreozzi, a former Brooke County dog warden, said the animal shelter is able to be run in a humane manner because of the support of such groups.

Top 10 Home Maintenance Projects for Spring
Spring is the perfect time to perform a complete inspection of your home, top to bottom, and take care of any necessary repairs.
1 of 11
Inspect the Roof and Chimney
Keep a good roof over your head by examining it for problems yearly – and take care of any you find right away. Make sure that storms haven't lifted, curled, or damaged any shingles, and that there's no "sponginess" underfoot. Remove leaves from roof valleys, and clean the screens on roof vents and louvers.
Check the flashing around your chimney and any skylights, and inspect the rafters inside the attic for any signs of water damage. Clean the chimney cap, if necessary, and have the inside of the chimney cleaned, if you didn't do it last fall.

Conversation between Jo Ann
Rife and Mrs Lillian B. Sears
December 29, 1955
Reel 238 Item 6
JAR: We've talked about the first year you taught schoolMama,
but about the most interesting event that happened was
the second year you taught school; Will you tell us about
LBS: Well, it was interesting; though a little bit terrible. I
could have taught back where I was teaching in Elm Springs,
but I wanted to branch out and get a bigger school and get
one of my one, so I went down in the mountains; and I got
the schol and went out to get me a boarding place. And I
went to a home that was recommended to me; the lady might
like to have me for company. She was a fairly new comer to
the community and her husband was away on a farm doing work.
She was a little lonely; her folks were in the North. So
I went to this place and got my boarding place, and I
hadn't been there but about five weeks when her husband
was murdered. I didn't know what the trouble was about; there
wasn't much trouble. They had one little boy— his name was
Tom; he was only five years old , and he was so fond of
watermelons that his father said that if he lived to the
next year, he was going to raise Tom all the melons that
he could eat— that's all he wanted them for, but he was
going to do that. So anyway there was a group of young men
in the neighborhood who were considered rather tough, and
they advised me when I went down there not to have any
programs at night, because that was back in the days when
they would break up your meetings, in fact —
JAR: How would they break it up?
LBS: Well, they would shoot the window lights out, and if you
happened to be in the way, it was just too bad. On the
way down to take the school, the county superintendent,
who was an old teacher of mine, and he was at the depot
at Fayetteville when I got on and he said,"Lillian, I
think I should tell you that you are going to take one of
the— a school that has one of the worst reputations in the
county. Last year the boys down there— the big boys— got
peeved at the teacher, and they took the stove away in
pieces until he had no stove and he had to leave." Well,
I was forewarned and not much afraid; I was young and
going out to make my way, and I went on down there and sure
enough there were a lot of tall boys. They grew them tall
down there I thought when I began to see them come in— six
footers. And I had only been down there five weeks , and one
Sunday this family that I was boarding with went to an
outdoor meeting-- a Methodist meeting that was being held
outside the church. It was nice weather in the fall, and I
went over with them.There were lots of young people there
Reel 238 Item 6 (cont'd)
and we stayed for the noon— for dinner. And in the afternoon
the neighbors prevailed on them to stay for the night services,
for the moon shone bright, and it wasn't far to go through, but
to go around the mountain was several miles. So they decided to
do that and Hr. Hurray said,"Well, I will have to go home and
take care of my stock, and I will just walk through, because it
is not far and we will drive through after the services." This
he did and it was an old timey house with a long porch in
front; and it was absolutely full of women and they were sitting
in chairs and they were talking, And a lot of the young girls—
women— girls were inside and I was playing the organ and we
were singing. It was getting late then— about sundown— and
those women sitting on the porch then saw a man coming up
the mountainjust as hard as he could come on one of this man's
horses where I stayed( we will call him Johnnie, because I am
not giving his real name), on one of Johnnie's horses. And she
came to the door and said,"Hush, girls." They just sensed that
something had happened. We all quit singing and went out on the
porch and this man rode up to the fence and said,"Mrs So and So,
you must come home, your husband is badly hurt." Well, we gathered
our things and started, and she was , oh, agitated— she was a
weakly woman and a very tiny woman and that was one of the
reasons that she had wanted company,because he hated to leave
her by herself— she was nervous. And they had told this man
when he left home to tell her that he was badly hurt— I'll
tell you he was dead. She seemed to sense, though, that something
terrible had happened by his looks; and we got in the runabout,
as they called them then— it was a low buggy with a parasol
top— and I drove. And there were no roads in those days-— it
was a shelf road on the mountain, just ledges of rock. And you
could trot a little ways, and then you dropped down on another
ledge of rock; and when we would come to a place where we could
trot up a little ways, this man would get right close to the buggy
and urge us on. He would say,"I think you had better hurry— he's
hurt pretty badly." And we would go just as fast as we could. Mrs. .
this lady just got worse and worse and by the time we topped—
came off the last ledge and got down on the level and looked
ahead and went over the rise in the road, we could see all of
this little town had gatheredthere. And she was screaming one
scream after another, and I was driving the horse, "We went on—
they didn't allow her to go down to the house. This neighbor
who killed her husband was the closest neighbor; of course we
didn't know it then. But she was put to bed and then- -
JAR: At another house?
LBS: At another house— one of the neighbors houses. She wasn't allowed
— we weren't allowed — to go on down to her house. And
they didn't remove his body from the road . He was lying in
the road in thick dust. He had come home and put on a big
Mexican hat that he wore , and he had been shot off his horse.
Reel 238 Item 6 (cont'd)
I'll just tell you how it happened. This young fellow had
stole some of his melons along with some others; and he didn't
care for that, but some of them had carried them out and went
over the patch and stuck their heels in them. He hadn't said
anything to the young man until one day that week an uncle of
the young man— they were all neighbors— sent this young man
over to get some building stone that was on this John's place.
This young man was with him, which was his nephew. In going down
into a ravine to get some rock, they found a new pile of those
melons and the older man — the uncle— said to John,"Well, I
see someone has been carrying off the melons." And this John
thought that this would be a good time to reprimand this young
fellow and he said,"Yes, and I think that this young man can
tell us something about it; he was along." He had watched them
after night. The young fellow tried to get mad but his uncle
said,"Just s t down and don't make any scene and we will talk
this over." They did and he told of the different things he
had done in the neighborhood that he shouldn't have done, and
he agreed to be a good neighbor and not do this anymore.And it
went on and the young man during the week got to drinking, and
by the time Sunday came, he was in a mood to kill him. He had
planned to shoot him in the yard, but he saw him get on his horse
and take a halter; and he knew that he had gone to the pasture
to get— to water some more horses. And he took his gun and went
through this thick timber. All in front of the house was thick
timber and he had to turn a corner to go down to this timber.
The young man knew this and he cut across— took a short cut
through and got behind a tall stump and cut the vines all out
so he could see and take a good straight aim, and he waited
until this John came by with the halter on his arm and he shot
him and almost decapitated him. Now back to the inquest. The put
Mrs— the man's wife back to bed. I had sat in the yard all night,
the little boy Tom in my lap under the big walnut tree. People
were milling all around me. I didn't know anyone except the
teacher in the town and the preacher— the Methodist preacher;
I knew them. Then all at once the teacher got up on the porch
and asked if Lillian Beaver— that was my name then— was in
the crowd. I gave the little boy to someone else and went over
to meet him, and him and this preacher took me aside and asked
me if I knew any of the details. I told him that I had only been
there five weeks and they hadn't told me anything about this
trouble that I found out afterwards that they had had. Well,
they wanted to warn me that maybe I would feel better if I
didn't say anything; I didn't sure enough after that. The his wife
wanted to go down to the house, their own home. I was afraid to
go because the next house was the one where the suspected man
lived, and naturally I was afraid that he would be in the empty
house. I was just afraid you know, just naturally afraid, but I
didn't say anything because I had to take her home. Idrove again
Reel 238 Item 6 (cont'd)
and the sheriff's wife, who was an elderly woman, said,"I
will go down with you to the house." He got in the buggy and
Mrs Starr, the sheriff's wife, stood up behind; and as we
turned the corner, she told me afterwards she was a man
shrinking behind the bushes. And it was the murderer: he
told us afterwards he had been behind those bushes to see if
he could find out anything. I didn't know it and it was a
good thing I didn't. We went on down to the house and the wife
was demented by this time she had lost her mind. She never shed
a tear,not a tear during the whole time until after he was
buried and it went to her brain. She had lost her reason for the
time being and I was really afraid of her. When we got to the
house, or to the road which was in deep shadows there next to
that timber, she said,"You take out the horse and put him
away, and I will take her to the house." She said,"Maybe I
can quiet her." Well, I never had taken a horse out of the
harness in my life, but I started tugging at all the buckles and
straps, and I fairly picked that harness off that horse to
pieces. I would undo some buckles and pull on it and it
would be tight, and I would undo another buckle. Finally, I
got it to where it would slide off. I slipped it off and let
it stay right where it ell, and I saw a gate and I don't
know until yet who it belonged to, but I turned the horse
inside it and I started to the house; and I started running
and the more I ran the more frightened I got. And I had to
pass a big chimney corner that was full of fishing poles and
all, and I thought surely,"The man is there." But after
falling and stumbling several times,I got to the house. And
this other lady was out drawing some water and the chain was
making a shreiking noise and the wife being demented for the
time was screaming his name and said he shouldn't be out
there drawing water. Mrs Starr said,"Go on up to your room,
and maybe I will get her to bed and get her quiet." And then
I started up to my room and I had to go up a winding stairway
through one empty room before I got to mine. And being
frightened, I figured surely he is in the empty room and
among some junk they had there. If not there, he is surely
in my own room. I took a handful of matches— we didn't have
any electricity then in the rural areas— I took a handful
of matches, and I was so nervous and so scared that I would
strike and jerk it out before it was ever illuminated,
and I figured I would use them all up to my room. Finally,
I got to my room, and I began to look for the murderer. I
looked in places where a man could not possibly get. I
looked in the commode down where my pitcher and washbowl sat,
and he was not there, and nobody but the Lord and me will
ever know how I hated to lift the counterpane and look under
the bed. I started to sit down and decided,"Well,"— I had
a big trunk— and I decided,"Well, right there is where he
Reel 238 Item 6 (cont'd)
is because it is empty." And I lifted up the lid to see if
he was there; he wasn't there, and finally I convinced myself
that he was not in the room. I sat down on the edge of
the bed— and it being three or four o'clock in the morning—
I sat on the edge of the bed and put my arms around my knees,
and right at that moment the bloodhounds began to howl right
in front of the house in that timber. In fact, the murderer
had been back and front of there twice. Finally, daylight
came, and her folks were all in the North. There was no
embalming center in the town and mighty few anywhere at that
time. So the neighbors came to the idea to take his body over
to her mother's home in town and pack it with fruit jars
full of ice until her folks could come from the North, and
keep his body in that manner; and I was to drive her over to
town. I had to drive her over to town. I had to go right
down the road where he was killed, and there was a puddle
of blood the size of a tub right there in the middle of the
road. Noone had the forethought to cover that up. And they
said that under no circumstances do you stop the horse; you
take her straight through. I tried my best, and when we came
to the place where her husband was killed, she recognized
everything. She saw the blood; she saw the vines had been
cut and everything, and she screamed and the screams echoed
all up and down the mountains and wanted to stop the horse,
but I had slapped him with the reins and he went on. We got
to the turn and there was a church house there, and I never
have known why they had never removed that body, but it was
laying out up there on some timbers, some planks. The wife
grabbed the reins and tried to stop the horse. Two or three
men came out and said,"You must take her on. He is not presentable;
she cannot see him; you must take her on." And they gave
me the reins, and by main strength and awkwardness, I drove
the horse on , and her screams were echoing all over the
mountains. Needless to say I was getting unnerved myself;
anyway I got her over into town and to her Mother's house
in bed,and then I went to the telephone office to call my
father. There were just a few phones then and I had to wait
until he could come to a phone, and I was so unnerved that
when I heard my father's voice, I just broke down and wept
like a child and blurted out that they had killed Mr. X. My
father said that he would come down; and in the meantime
they were looking for the murderer. It was common talk then
that this young fellow was suspected , and he had -relatives
all over the mountain, and they were all helping him, and he
was not captured until Wednesday night and the murder was
Sunday afternoon. The rumors came that he was armed and the
men— some of them— were going to get hurt, and women were
just frantic, and many stories go started saying that they
had captured him and so on, but that was not so at the time.
Reel 238 Item 6 (cont'd)
Anyway, any store could be robbed in the town because
every man had his gun and was out with the sheriff. They
surrounded the mountain. They took boxes of food and
planned to stay until they had closed the circle down to
where they could capture him, and they were making it
smaller all the time. Finally, he sent word — he was darting
into his relatives' homes to get something to eat and all—
finally he sent word that he would surrender at a certain
point if the sheriff would bring just a few men, because
there were men who would shoot him on sight, including some
of his uncles. This was done and he was captured on Wednesday
night. The— a hardware man in this little town was managing
the thing, and he was told by the sheriff to drive around
the mountain and call the men all in. This he did.

I have been having the Super Mom blues. Before I entered the stay at home mom world I had envisioned entering the realm of Super Mom-hood. I thought my house would be spotless 24/7, I would bake bread every day, my children would be perfectly behaved and eat wonderfully cooked meals three times a day. I thought that I would have exorbitant amount of activities planned and that I would be sewing like a machine. I thought I would always be perfectly patient with my children and gracious to my husband. I thought we would visit each great grandparent twice a month and that we would do a service project every week. I figured I would have wonderful dinner parties for our friends weekly and never once look forward to my husband coming home for the soul reason that I need a short break from the kids. I thought we would have weekly crafts we would hand out to family members and pass out bread to our neighbors each week.
In reality my laundry tends to pile up enough my children enjoy jumping and crawling in it and after it is washed it tends to stay in the basket too long. Once I finally fold the laundry it takes normally a day to convince me to put it up. I sew once a month making completing a project slow. I am too chicken to give the baby present to the couple who just had a baby down the street that I don't know and now I am sure the onesie cupcake I made will be too small. I burnt cookies this past Monday and I have toys creeping out of every crevice of the house. I was thrilled to have three hours away from my family to eat dinner with my girlfriends this Friday and I didn't feel guilty once. I let my kids stay up too late in the summer and cheerios are all to common for breakfast. I see my grand parents once a month and I need to put on my big girl pants and get the courage to ask my husbands grand parents if they don't mind us dropping by. If my neighbors get baked goods it is normally cookies that I don't want sitting around the house for me to eat and all to frequently I put it in a container to give them and they sit there till they are stale and I throw them away. I frequently use the library group and the pool as activities and we just run around outside and the house instead of me doing something cool and crafty.

Love your post Mercedes! I think we all feel this way (I know I do!) Don't underestimate the positive effects of going out (to the pool or the library), those offer so many more benefits than anything 'crafty', and they're FUN! You do such a wonderful job with your children, and are an amazing mother! Thank you for the encouragement!
