John Huh was so nervous Tuesday he could remember only one other time in his life that was more nerve-wracking.
He was at Riviera Country Club for a practice round at the Northern Trust Open, where he's playing for the first time in his young career.
Huh, who played high school golf at Crescenta Valley, didn't even have a club in his hands. He was clutching a podium in a ballroom at Riviera and talking to a room of Korean-American dignitaries, six Korean professional golfers and reporters after accepting the crystal trophy for being named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
"It was my dream to be on the PGA Tour," Huh said. "It's such an honor and privilege. It's hard to describe (my feelings) when it was announced. Here I am with the trophy and all the media in front of me.
"It's a thrill and dream to be here. I can say I'm a lucky guy in the world."
Winning an eight-hole, two-man playoff at the Mayakoba Classic in Mexico over Robert Allenby for his first tour victory was nothing compared to this.
"That was 50-50. The odds were good," Huh said with a smile and shrug of his shoulders.
Speaking in front of people is more daunting than anything. His acceptance speech was short and sweet and charming. He was battling dry mouth.
"That's the second-most nervous situation I've ever been," Huh said. "The first was at the BMW. I had to play good that week."
The BMW Championship is part of the FedEx Cup playoff system, and he's the first rookie to play in all four playoff events. He won $2.8 million last year, bought his parents their first home and he and his family moved to Dallas. There was no "I" in the rookie award for Huh when he called his father to tell him the good news.
"I said, `We did it,"' Huh recalled. "It wasn't me. The whole family did it. That was big for us. It was a great honor. They felt proud of what I've done and what we've done so far."
Huh has done well in pressure situations inside the ropes, which is a good thing considering his career choice.
"I'm a really easygoing guy," he said. "I try not to get too serious. But once you're there you can't get too serious. It's working pretty good.
"I think there's two nerves, one where you can still enjoy it and one where you can't handle it."
What a difference a year makes. Huh now wears logos of companies in the U.S. in addition to his Korean partners. He has status to play at Riviera this week and committed so early he was featured in Korean print advertisements for the event that is a hit in the Korean community. People know him, too.
"I feel comfortable here," Huh said. "I feel I belong. I still have that nerve when I stand next to Tiger and Ernie (Els). Those are the guys I looked up to. That's just a thing I have to get over with.
"It's exciting every time I saw them on the range or putting green."
Folks now are recognizing Huh, whose name rhymes with duh. Many fans have the hang of it, but not everyone.
"Sometimes the guy who announces on the first tee screwed that one (up), but it's the moment I really enjoy `cause it's an interesting last name," Huh said. "I don't mind at all."
Huh played at Riviera in the offseason for the first time. In April, he'll play in his first Masters.
His rise to the top has been fast and furious. The 22-year-old who was born in Korea and moved from Chicago to Los Angeles to play golf wasn't even the best golfer on his high school team. After he didn't have enough core classes to use his scholarship to Cal State Northridge, he left for the Korean Tour. He played there three years, won once and met K.J. Choi.
"He's the one who's inspired the Koreans, especially me," Huh said of Choi. "Thanks to K.J., Kevin Na, Charlie Wi and those guys here before me. They're the ones who opened the path and inspire all of us players.
"Hopefully, I'll be one of them who can open the path for those who are coming here soon."
Choi, Na, Wi, D.H. Lee and Sang-Moon Bae were on hand Tuesday to congratulate Huh.
He'll play in today's pro-am along with two-time champ Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples and other big names. He's already carded a second-round 63 at the Sony Open this year but wants more.
"My expectations will be higher than last year," Huh said. "Still, I want to play consistently and in order to do that you have to drive well, manage your game well and have fun out there.
"That's big for me. That's why I enjoy the game."
Enjoying public speaking might not happen, but he's got the playing-well-under-pressure thing down.
Tiger Woods bypasses Riviera again for Arizona, Florida
Tiger Woods isn't playing in this week's Northern Trust Open, but he committed to three other tournaments as players settled in at Riviera Country Club for the week.
Woods committed to next week's World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship at Marana, Ariz., the Honda Classic at PGA National Champion Course and the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship at TPC Blue Monster at Doral in Miami. The latter two tournaments are in Florida, where Woods lives.
"I'm excited to be playing in the Honda Classic again," Woods said. "It's a really good tournament, and it does a lot for the community. I like the golf course, and I came pretty close last year.
"It's part of a busy stretch for me, and I want to continue playing well."
Woods hasn't played here since 2006, despite tournament organizers' attempts to lure him back to the event that gave him his first sponsor exemption as a 16-year-old amateur.
Woods is 0 for 11 at the Northern Trust Open, including two appearances as an amateur. It's the most times he's played an event without winning. He's played well here, but seemingly always had one bad round that made this title elusive for him.
He has four top-10 finishes here and never finished worse than a tie for 20 th. The last time he played seven years ago, he withdrew because he was sick.
Woods put the Honda Classic and Farmers Insurance Open back on his schedule but has yet to add the Northern Trust Open again.
Jerry West, the Northern Trust Open's excecutive director, has made it a priority to convince Woods to return to the event, but it hasn't happened yet despite his efforts. He even played in Woods' World Challenge pro-am this year via his role with the tournament.
West has known Woods for about two decades.
Even without Woods, the tournament has big names, including fan favorites Phil Mickelson and Fred Couples. The tournament also features three of last year's four major winners - Bubba Watson (Masters), Webb Simpson (U.S. Open) and Ernie Els (British Open).
World No. 4 Brandt Snedeker withdrew from the Match Play Championship on Tuesday because of sore ribs that have been causing him discomfort despite his torrid stretch of golf. He won the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Sunday. ... Patrick Cantlay, the former UCLA golfer, finished tied for ninth last week at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am but still had to use his sponsor's exemption to play the Northern Trust Open. Golfers who finish in the top-10 are automatically entered into the next week's event unless PGA Tour regulars account for all of the tournament's spots. That happened this week as the Northern Trust Open is one of the mostpopular events for the world's best players. It's disappointing only in that players are limited to seven sponsor's exemptions per year, and he's already using his fourth. Cantlay has conditional status on the Web.com Tour this year ... Eighteen of the top 30-ranked golfers in the world and 25 of the top 50 are in the event ... Fred Couples will make his 31 st start this week. He's scheduled to play twice on the PGA Tour this year, here and at the Masters. He has surpassed Gene Littler for most starts in tournament history. He's won twice and has a total of 14 top-10 finishes.

Haddock/Development ideas
From HaskellWiki
< Haddock
Revision as of 12:19, 17 December 2012 by Benmachine (Talk | contribs)
Most of these ideas are very old, but some may still be relevant.
- It would be good to have a recursive flag that would operate on all the .hs and .lhs files under a single directory.
- Haddock should emit the documentation about instances. For example, it's important to document that the Data.Map instance of Foldable only folds over the values and not the keys.
- There should be an annotation to include a function's entire definition in the documentation. This would be useful for functions like and(.)where the definition is the clearest possible documentation, and for QuickCheck properties that specify the behavior of a library.mapM
- There should be an option to include a simplified implementation of a function that is equivalent to the one in the code. For instance, instead of showing a complex implementation of List.length that makes use of stream fusion we could show a simple one based on foldl'.
- Optionally show qualifications of identifiers, that is print rather thanSequence.map,maprather than justMusic.T. The option for haddock could beT
--qualification QUAL
none(default) strip off qualification (just)map
origshow the identifiers as they are written in the module (e.g.ormap)List.map
fullshow all identifiers with full qualification ()Data.List.map

Brevard, N.C. - Jamie Atkinson, Ashlie Morrison and Erin Rollins all recorded six kills and Lindsey Rogers continued to lead the backline with a team high 18 digs, but Blaire Fowler's 14 kills led the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters over the Brevard Tornados on Friday night, 25-10, 25-22, 25-13.
Atkinson, Morrison and Rollins led the way for Brevard (4-9, 0-6 SAC) as the Tornados still remain without a win in the conference on the season. Erin Cox and Bethany Stevenson added eight and seven set assists apiece while Cox had a team high two service aces. Rogers led the Tornados back line with 18 digs, while Jordei Osby continued her recent resurgence with four total blocks in the match.
Fowler's 14 kills led the Railsplitters (11-2, 7-1 SAC) as LMU hit 20.6 percent in the match. Jennifer Drumm added five kills, while Brittany Pugh set up the Railsplitters attack with 20 set assists. Fowler also led Lincoln Memorial with three service aces, while Kristen Cantrell and Chelsea Ferron both were in double figures in digs, with 19 and 11 respectively.
A pair of Fowler kills and a Pugh service ace built a 4-0 LMU lead in the opening set as the Railsplitters took control early on their way to a 25-10 victory.
Atkinson led off the second set with a kill as the score went back-and-forth before the Tornados built a 12-9 lead after the block by Osby and Taryn Gmitroski, but Lincoln Memorial tied the match up at 14 following a kill by Fowler. Pugh served the Railsplitters to an 18-15 lead, but Brevard bounced back behind a service ace by Cox and kills by Morrison and Gmitroski on their way to tying the match up at 22 apiece. However, another Fowler kill led to a 3-0 Lincoln Memorial run as the Railsplitters closed out the set 25-22.
In the final set, Lincoln Memorial recorded the first five points and nine of the first 10 as the Railsplitters jumped out early on the Tornados. Brevard fought back, bringing the score back to within five at one point at 15-10 after back-to-back kills by Cox, but LMU went on a 10-3 run to close out the match, ending the evening.
The Tornados remain at home in South Atlantic Conference action tomorrow afternoon as they welcome Carson-Newman College. First serve in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 12 p.m.

Baby Led Weaning - Your Experiences
Many of us on this forum follow Baby Led Weaning. The general principle here is to simply let your baby feed themselves. The baby led weaning mantra is 'food is for fun until they are one'. It involves offering your baby solid food to explore, play with and eat from 6 months of age providing your baby is developmentally ready (e.g. sitting up unaided and reaching out for food). With baby led weaning, a baby should not be hungry when they are offered the food (indeed, at this age babies rarely associate solid food with relieving hunger) but should have already had their milk (ideally breastmilk) and be content (not tired).
We would love to hear your experiences with baby led weaning. How did your baby get on with eating solid food? What food did they particularly enjoy eating? Did you have any difficulties following baby led weaning?
My experiences have been very positive with baby led weaning. I started offering both my boys solid food at 6 months of age (they were ready - grabbing for the food on my plate!). They both seem to have particularly enjoyed steamed chicken and fruit like mango, pears, banana and apple as well as steamed vegetable fingers. My youngest son is currently 10 months old and particularly enjoys tomatoes, avocado and pasta. Baby led weaning is very messy - but if you can deal with that (we put plastic mats on the floor and eat outside whenever possible) then I think it is a great way for children to start a lifetime of healthy, happy eating.
I look forward to reading your experiences with baby led weaning.

The Most Important Problem Facing Children in the US Today
May 17, 2013
In the early 1950s, polio crippled tens of thousands of people in the United States each year, shut down public facilities, and struck fear among parents everywhere. But thanks to a massive public health effort that reached into every community, by 1979 polio had been eliminated from the U.S.
What if we tackled child poverty with the same determination and commitment that we put into eliminating polio? At a time when one in five children lives in poverty, income inequality is growing, and the severe negative long-term consequences of childhood poverty are known, the analogy is not farfetched.
This week, the Academic Pediatric Association (APA) Task Force on Childhood Poverty declared that childhood poverty is "the most important problem facing children in the US today" and issued a Strategic Road Map for addressing it as a public health issue. The APA Task Force commits to raising the voice of pediatricians to build public support for policies that will both reduce childhood poverty and address the negative effects of poverty on children's physical and mental health and development. This builds on similar statements from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Undercover video shows that Gosnell practices are not isolated incident
This article contains graphic descriptions. Please be advised.
(Billy Hallowell) The Dr. Kermit Gosnell legal drama has re-framed America's abortion debate in many ways. As the trial nears its conclusion, Live Action, a non-profit organization devoted to pro-life causes, has released a new, undercover video that is sure to spark additional surprise and outrage among those who oppose abortion.
Part of its "Inhumane" investigation into the nation's late-term abortion clinics, the new clip shows a staff member at a Bronx, New York, clinic instructing a woman on how the procedure would work. The conversation, though, includes a few elements that some will pinpoint as problematic.
In addition to telling the undercover Live Action investigator to flush her baby down the toilet if it is delivered at home, the counselor, who allegedly works at the Dr. Emily Women's Health Center, described what the clinic purportedly does even when babies appear to be twitching or breathing after late-term abortions.
Watch the video below (caution: graphic content):

Buy an Axon, Axon II, or Axon Mote and build a great robot, while helping to support SoR.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I was powering the bluetooth using the 3.3v (2.2mA to 3.1mA load), I jumped the 3.3v pin on Axon to the beside unused pin (discussed in my previous post) and use that pin to power my bluetooth.
In the mean while I will also check if I can borrow a ISP programmer ..... I have a Microchip PICKit2 programmer....may be that can work
I have access to a hotair soldering station and can use it as well as get another expert technician to replace the CP2102 on the Axon board
1. I can get the CP2102 from Digikey (1-2day), however the technicians are aprehensive about damage to the board while removing the old IC and then putting back the good one on. Also the cost of man-hours might exceed the Axon's pricetag.

User:Zzo38/Proposal for additional kinds
From HaskellWiki
< User:Zzo38
This document is proposal about additional kinds.
1 New kinds
## -- New name for (#) kind (although (#) is available for compatibility) [x] -- If x is a kind, [x] is the kind of classes of types of kind x + -- Kind for type-level natural numbers $ -- Means make up a kind from a Template Haskell code
2 Kind of classes
[*] -- Kind of Eq class. [* -> *] -- Kind of Monad class. * -> [*] -- A class that requires a type as a parameter to make a class. [[*]] -- Class of classes. + -> [*] -- Infinite series of classes, selected by a natural number. k -> [k] -- Polymorphic class that corresponds to any given kind.
3 Natural number kind
If a type requires a parameter, it can be a + kind, meaning numbers.
There should be some way to specify a type taking natural numbers by defining it for zero and them for a successor, so that it applies for all natural numbers.
It also means a type of kind + -> + -> + can be a type of adding numbers or other stuff like that, too.

Obviously we have some understanding on the concepts of pushing and polling of data from service endpoints since we basically founded a company on the premise that the world needed a middleware push data service. Over the last year we have had a lot of success with the push model, but we also learned that for many reasons we also need to work with services via a polling approach. For this reason our latest v2.1 includes the Gnip Service Polling feature so that we can work with any service using push, poll or a mixed approach.
Now, the really great thing for users of the Gnip platform is that how Gnip collects data is mostly abstracted away. Every end user developer or company has the option to tell Gnip where to push data that you have set up filters or have a subscription. We also realize not everyone has an IT setup to handle push so we have always provided the option for HTTP GET support that lets people grab data from a Gnip generated URL for your filters.
One place where the way Gnip collects data can make a difference, at this time, for our users is the expected latency of data. Latency here refers to the time between the activity happening (i.e. Bob posted a photo, Susie made a comment, etc) and the time it hits the Gnip platform to be delivered to our awaiting users. Here are some basic expectation setting thoughts.
PUSH services: When we have push services the latency experience is usually under 60 seconds, but we know that this is not always the case sense sometimes the services can back-up during heavy usage and latency can spike to minutes or even hours. Still, when the services that push to us are running normal it is reasonable to expect 60 second latency or better and this is consistent for both the Community and Standard Edition of the Gnip platform.
POLLED services: When Gnip is using our polling service to collect data the latency can vary from service to service based on a few factors
a) How often we hit an endpoint (say 5 times per second)
b) How many rules we have to schedule for execution against the endpoint (say over 70 million on YouTube)
c) How often we execute a specific rule (i.e. every 10 minutes). Right now with the Community edition of the Gnip platform we are setting rule execution by default at 10 minute intervals and people need to have this in mind with their expectation for data flow from any given publisher.
Expectations for POLLING in the Community Edition: So I am sure some people who just read the above stopped and said "Why 10 minutes?" Well we chose to focus on "breadth of data " as the initial use case for polling. Also, the 10 minute interval is for the Community edition (aka: the free version). We have the complete ability to turn the dial and use the smarts built into the polling service feature we can execute the right rules faster (i.e. every 60 seconds or faster for popular terms and every 10, 20, etc minutes or more for less popular ones). The key issue here is that for very prolific posting people or very common keyword rules (i.e. "obama", "http", "google") there can be more posts that exist in the 10 minute default time-frame then we can collect in a single poll from the service endpoint.
For now the default expectation for our Community edition platform users should be a 10 minute execution interval for all rules when using any data publisher that is polled, which is consistent with the experience during our v2.1 Beta. If your project or company needs something a bit more snappy with the data publishers that are polled then contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com as these use cases require the Standard Edition of the Gnip platform.
Current pushed services on the platform include: WordPress, Identi.ca, Intense Debate, Twitter, Seesmic, Digg, and Delicious
Current polled services on the platform include: Clipmarks, Dailymotion, deviantART, diigo, Flickr, Flixster, Fotolog, Friendfeed, Gamespot, Hulu, iLike, Multiply, Photobucket, Plurk, reddit, SlideShare, Smugmug, StumbleUpon, Tumblr, Vimeo, Webshots, Xanga, and YouTube

A little healthy kompetition
As previously mentioned in this blog — and as I tell anyone who'll listen to me — I go back and forth between the two top desktop environments with Fedora on my Fujitsu laptop — the even numbers, as it turns out, have been GNOME and the odd (with nothing to read into this, honest) have been KDE. Since we're now at Fedora 13, it's KDE time.
For those Xfce, LXDE, Fluxbox and IceWM fans out there, I do have machines in the Jungle Room — the lab at Redwood Digital Research in Felton, Calif., named after the same room at Graceland — running those desktops. While I'm a huge fan of Xfce on the machines that run it, I normally don't stray too far from GNOME and KDE.
Moving right along, though, in those instances where I use KDE on the laptop, I've always been impressed with the number of programs that KDE includes when downloading the KDE version of Fedora. This time around, it occurred to me that maybe I should give some of them a chance — rather than just downloading the programs I'm used to (OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) during the post-install phase — I should give the K its due.
But I downloaded the programs anyway. I wanted to do a comparison to see how the KDE software stacked up against the software I normally use across a variety of machines running other desktops. Bear in mind, too, that since I use KDE only six months at a time, I am clearly not an expert on it, and if I've missed something, by all means I'm open to correction.
Before I start, I want to sing the praises for most of the programs I've run that are KDE-native, and single out a quartet of KDE-native programs — specifically K3b, Dolphin, KPackageKit and KColorChooser. The first three have always been very cooperative, have been easy to use and have worked well; the fourth came in handy recently in tweaking a Web site.
Conversely, there are KDE-native programs I don't understand. The top candidate here is Kget — what the hell is that big bouncing disk doing in the center of my desktop? — and it begs the question: Why have it when you can use KPackageKit?
So, without further adeiu and with a little fanfare, allow me to wave the green flag on a comparison and contrasting of programs supplied by KDE against those that aren't.
KWord/KPresenter vs. OpenOffice.org Writer/OpenOffice.org Impress: KDE gets an A for effort on this one. Though not as slick as the OO.o Writer, KWord does open other files and offers the option of exporting a document to a Portable Document Format file (a clear advantage that both have over any Redmond product) and it performs admirably when used. The downside of KWord is that you can only save a document in one format — albeit the most important one (.odt) — whereas with OO.o Writer you can save it in various formats, even if need be in WordStar (which is a Solaris holdover, I know, but still). OO.o Writer also has a huge library of templates for use.
KPresenter, however, stands shoulder to shoulder and goes the distance with OO.o Impress on usability and functionality, to the point where in the past I've actually given talks using my Impress file running, unbeknown to me until later, on KPresenter. Like KWord, the slickness factor is lacking in KPresenter, but all the trappings for making a great presentation are there.
Advantage: OO.o Writer clearly over KWord, but KPresenter and OO.o Impress tie.
Konversation vs. XChat: While I get a handle on Irssi, I should say that I've always been a XChat user. Go ahead and mock me with the training wheels jokes, but it has served my purposes well over the past several years, to the point where I never used Konversation when running the KDE desktop. Konversation v1.2.3, however, may eclipse XChat for my IRC purposes. Its ease of configuring is a huge plus, as is its putting action messages on the screen you're in as opposed to in the server screen only (i.e., when you mark yourself away in XChat, for example, it appears only on the server window; in Konversation, it appears on the window you're in — minor, I know, but enough to sway the simpletons like yours truly).
Advantage: Konversation (but we all know that Irssi is what the cool kids use).
KMail vs. Thunderbird: I have used Thunderbird since it's inception. I like Thunderbird. No, let me rephrase that: I love Thunderbird. So analyzing this one may not be fair, but using KMail to get my fedoraproject.org mail on the laptop has been a pleasant surprise. One feature that takes getting used to, but is logically sound and advantageous once you get the hang of it, is that KMail will nest responses to e-mails, tree-like, under the previous topic's message. To me, it was disconcerting at first, but once I got used to it, it becomes a huge time-saver in following e-mail threads. Being able to see the details of an e-mail by running the cursor over it is also a plus.
Advantage: Thunderbird, because we have a history, but KMail gets high marks and more than likely I'll continue to use it after Fedora 13.
Konqueror vs. Firefox: I really want to say something nice, and find something I genuinely like, about Konqueror. Really and truly, and cross my heart, with all my being I truly hope someday to find something to like. But other than it's an adequate file manager and document viewer, it really stops there and I can't say much more for it. Meanwhile with all the other browsers out there — coupled with the fact that KDE comes with Dolphin (a file manager) and Okular (a document viewer and an outstanding program that, unfortunately, I had nothing to compare it with) — Konqueror seems to be just a niche browser compared to others.
Advantage: Firefox, by default.
Meanwhile, you can still go get Fedora 13 here. And don't be afraid to go try the KDE spin, if you're thinking about it.

Nice post, Larry. I haven't followed KOffice in a long time and am glad for the update. Nothing but ODT in KWord? It used to do .doc in the 1.x days, if I remember correctly. I used to really like KWord – I ran it in Slackware 12.0.
Like you, I was a Thunderbird user. But recently I decided to give Evolution a try after avoiding it for years. Turns out I really like it. It runs great, looks great (better even than T'Bird 3), and it was easier to configure with the difficult-for-me IMAP settings for my mail accounts with secure connections (Thunderbird always had trouble with my particular setup, but not Evolution).
That said, I only use a traditional mail client for a couple of "minor" IMAP accounts. For my "big" e-mail account, I'm POP-ing the mail into Gmail – it's just too easy and too good not to.
For me lately, Firefox = pain. I'm not happy with the huge amount of CPU it grabs onto. I try to use Chrome/Chromium or Epiphany when I can. I did spend some time briefly in Konqueror (running PC-BSD 8.0). Not great, not bad …
June 9, 2010 at 9:45 am
Unfair comparison. The devs for KOffice have been saying that it isn't meant for production work as yet. Wait for Koffice 2.3, and then compare to OpenOffice.
June 9, 2010 at 10:51 am
Koffice has lost a whole lot of momentum over the past year or so.
What KDE needs is more must-have apps like k3b to drag people over. For me that would have been digiKam (and even Krita if it included the features that digiKam has), but I just didn't like it as much as gThumb. I do like Kate and Kwrite better than Gedit, but Konqueror just isn't as good, I think, as Epiphany or Chromium.
I don't know how KDENlive is doing, but that's a space begging to be filled with a video-editing application that doesn't suck.
June 14, 2010 at 6:53 am
Er, no — KOffice rather _gained_ a lot of momentum over the past year. Thanks to involvement from KO GmbH and Nokia, importing foreign file formats has improved a lot. There are about 4500 fixes in KOffice 2.2 compared to 2.1 — and that excludes the 1500 fixes in Krita.
Krita 2.2 is good enough to be used, but 2.3 will be the really end-user ready release. As for the rest of KOffice, that's more a judgment call, but the developer community decided to focus on missing features and user-readiness during the last sprint, which was actually last weekend.
June 15, 2010 at 2:39 pm
After years of using Ubuntu I have to say that lately I'm more and more attracted to KDE desktop. And it is exactly the apps that attract me to KDE. In general I find KDE apps to be a lot more powerful and nicer looking than the GNOME counterparts. K3b, Kdenlive, Kontact, Amarok, Digikam, Kate, KDevelop, Gwenview, Okular, KTorrent, Dolphin are totaly awesome. And even the games while not important are so much nicer. I haven't yet heard of Rekonq but I sure will try it out. Oh and if you have kids, take a look at KDE Education apps, there is nothing like this in GNOME. As for KOffice it's not year ready for me (KWord and KSpread), but KPresenter I actually like the workflow much more than in OOo Impress. And in general the user interface of KOffice is just brilliant. Looks awesome and layout is just perfect for todays widescreen monitors we have. And it is also much more customizable and I like how KOffice is small and fast compared to OOo. Oh and it also offers some nice app that I couldn't find in OOo: KPlato for project management. When KWord and KSpread gain some features (tables editing/creating are sorely missing) I think I'm also slowly going to switch to KOffice.

Converging on SAE Convergence
SAE Convergence® 2010 is coming up fast on my calendar – October 19-20 at Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan. Though I've been to more industry trade shows than I care to count, this will be my first time at the SAE Convergence conference, which is focused on advances in automotive electronics.
There is no doubt that electronics is playing an increasingly important role in automotive system design. Automotive interiors are adorned with visible electronic accessories like stereos, trip computers, and climate controls that we interact with and often take for granted. But perhaps the more important category of automotive electronics are the systems that work behind the scenes to improve vehicle efficiency, reduce emissions, and increase safety – the systems we depend on to keep our cars running at peak performance while transporting us safely to our destinations, whether across the street, across town, or across the nation. Automobiles are a prime example of mechatronic systems, where the performance of once purely mechanical systems is improved with electronic control aided by sensors and actuators – a perfect application for mechatronic system modeling, simulation, and analysis. And that's why, along with many electronic systems manufacturers and suppliers, you will also find several electronic design automation (EDA) vendors, including Mentor Graphics, exhibiting at the conference.
This year, Mentor Graphics will be in booth 1010 talking about our suite of tools that support a variety of automotive design challenges, including:
E/E architecture, systems, and network design
System modeling and analysis
Electrical systems design & wire harness engineering
Thermal design, testing, and simulation
Embedded software
PCB systems design
I'll be there talking about our SystemVision® mechatronic system design environment, and highlighting our link with the National Instruments™ LabVIEW™ virtual test development tools.
As an SAE Convergence newbie, and a long time automotive enthusiast, I'm looking forward to the conference. No doubt there will be many interesting things to see. If you happen to be at the conference, drop by booth 1010 and say hello.

Reusable Menstrual Pads!? Sure. A reusable pad is a different idea....you might even think it's gross. Glad Rags thought so too - at first. Then they tried them and they've never gone back. Join the thousands of women who know there is a better choice every month. Glad Rags Reusable Pads: Safe Simple Smart Women Owned and Operated since 1993! Made to last for years Save up to 300$ within 5 Years Protect your body naturally with breathable cotton Great for women with allergies or chemical sensitivities Doctor recommended No Animal Tested Frequently Asked Questions What is the complete GladRags Product line? GladRags Pantyliner: The GladRags Pantyliner is great for light days or those days when you're not sure if your period might come. It's also great backup for a Moon Cup or Diva Cup, or sea sponge tampon. The GladRags Pantyliner snaps around your underwear just like the wings of a disposable pantyliner. Only much more comfy! GladRags Day Pads: These pads are perfect for day use and consist of a holder and two inserts. Depending on your flow, you can use one or both of the inserts. The GladRags Day Pad with both inserts is the equivalent of an average disposable maxi pad. You can even add a third insert and make it a super maxi. GladRags Night Pads: These larger pads provide added protection while you're sleeping. The night pads consist of a holder and two inserts; both the inserts and the long holder are lined with absorbent terry cloth. The GladRags Night Pad with two inserts acts the equivalent of a super or overnight disposable maxi pad. Menstrual Cups: Menstrual Cups are a sustainable option for tampon users. The Moon Cup, The Keeper Cup, Lunette, or the Diva Cup are perfect for this purpose. They insert into the vagina and catch the flow rather than absorb it. The cups are emptied with same frequency as one would change a disposable tampon. Sea Sponge Tampons: Sea sponges are another great option for tampon users. Sponges absorb blood flow but won't dry out vaginal tissues and are not treated with harsh chemicals. They can be used for many cycles. How To How do I use GladRags? Why the 3-part design? One GladRags Day Pad consists of one holder and two inserts. To assemble, slip the inserts inside the holder, like a letter inside an envelope; then turn the pad over (so the smooth side goes against your body and the tag side against your underwear) and snap the "wings" of the holder around your underwear. When you use both inserts, it is a maxi pad. When you use one, it's mini for lighter day. If you are having an extra heavy flow day, you can place a third insert in the holder for a super maxi. But it's easy to get the pads clean because you take the inserts out for washing. How often do I change a pad? You should change your pad about as often as you would change a disposable pad or tampon: every 2 to 6 hours, or as needed. You will quickly learn when it's time to change. Unsnap, and snap on a fresh pad. Remember, the inserts go inside the holder so you need to change the whole unit. Place the used pads in the waterproof Carry Bag if you are away from home and then wash when you get home. The GladRags Experience Are GladRags comfortable? Yes! All cotton GladRags are soft and breathable, which is so much better than plastic pads that can chafe and irritate your skin. GladRag's customer Nicole had this to say about trying GladRags: "I just wanted to send you a line of appreciation. I love Glad Rags. I just started to use them. I cannot believe I waited this long! I am sold!! I am a lifer now. They are so comfortable and easy on my skin. I love how they feel like regular clothing. It is like nothing is there." If you are raw and irritated at the end of your period, please know that it does not have to be that way! With all of their pads you will experience the comfort and breatheability of cotton. The soft flannel conforms to your body without the twisting and bunching up that can happen with disposables. And because there is no plastic backing you will have less chafing and irritation. One of their customers reports they're much cooler too (she's from Phoenix, she would know). Who uses GladRags? Women all over the world are using GladRags. Students, businesswomen, filmmakers, mothers, artists, travelers, and Peace Corps workers are just a few that come to mind. Everyday women use GladRags—the woman next to you on the street, at school, or at work might very well be using them right now! What about travel? Yes. They offer carrying bags that helps you travel during the day. The Carry Bag holds 4 day pads. Throughout the day you can place your used GladRags in the interior water resistant bag until you reach a place where you can rinse them out and wash them. You can also carry your GladRags around in style by using the fun Oilcloth carry bag. If you are traveling for a longer period of time, they recommend soaking and washing them at the end of the day and hanging or laying them out to dry completely if you do not have access to a dryer. GladRags' customer Lydia found her own solution: "Sometimes I don't have access to the water I would need to rinse my GladRags out or soak them. I just let them dry out as is and soak them for several hours with soapy water when I get the chance. My GladRags come out good as new!" Cleaning How should I clean my GladRags? It's simple: just pre-soak in cold water, then machine wash and dry. Here are the specifics: remove the inserts from the holder; soak or pre-rinse in cold water (change the water daily). Then machine wash with your dark clothes in cold or warm water. Avoid using hot water to wash your GladRags. Machine dry completely. GladRags can also be safely hand-washed and dried, but it's not necessary to do so. Wash your GladRags before your initial use. The pads may shrink a bit in the first washing. If you want to use additional laundry boosters, they recommend Bi-O-Kleen's Oxygen Bleach. Natural enzyme stain removers, like Bi-O-Kleen's Bac-Out are also effective. Please note: Chlorine bleach is NOT recommended or needed. The bleach will not only shorten the life of your pads but will put toxins both into our environment and close to a very sensitive part of your body! Will they stain? The best way to prevent stains is to soak or rinse GladRags immediately in cold water so the stains do not set. The color pads don't show stain - the undyed pads may stain a bit. If you want to use additional laundry boosters, they recommend Bi-O-Kleen's Oxygen Bleach. Natural enzyme stain removers, like Bi-O-Kleen's Bac-Out are also effective. The following products have also been suggested by GladRags users: borax, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, or drying your GladRags in the sun. Also, keep in mind that stains do not mean the pads are dirty. Where can I get a soaking container? They sell a great soaking container on their site. It's practical and best of all, not made of plastic. Or you can look for a container at any department store or -- better yet -- a thrift store or garage sale. Look for anything rustproof that will hold water and a few GladRags. Remember, if you are soaking your GladRags for more than a day, be sure to change the soak water at least once a day. Can I use fabric softener on my GladRags? They don't recommend it for two reasons: Fabric softener is generally a collection of perfume and chemicals -- which you probably don't want polluting the environment, much less that part of your body! Using fabric softener actually makes GladRags less absorbent. Can I use chlorine bleach on my GladRags? They do not recommend chloine bleach for two reasons: Bleach is hard on the fabric and can deteriorate the area around the snap. Chlorine bleach is an extremely harmful chemical - both to our bodies and the environment. They recommend an oxygen based bleach. Design and Materials What is the difference between regular cotton and organic cotton? Organic cotton means that no pesticides or herbicides were used to grow the cotton, so the soil and water were not polluted, nor did farm workers breathe in any harmful chemicals as they worked with the cotton. By purchasing organic cotton GladRags, you are supporting healthy agriculture. By supporting organic farming you encourage its further development and greater recognition for this desperately needed form of agriculture. How absorbent are GladRags? GladRags are very absorbent. The inserts are made with a layer of terry cloth sandwiched between the two outer layers of cotton flannel. The daytime holders are made of two layers of cotton flannel, and the inserts slip between each layer, like a letter inside an envelope. Each GladRags pad comes with 1 holder and 2 inserts, and you can opt to use as many as 3 inserts with a holder for your heavier days. The night pad holders are wider at each end and longer than the day pad holder, and also constructed a bit differently: the holders also has a layer of terry cloth sandwiched between the two layers of flannel, lending the GladRags night pad even more absorbency for your sleeping comfort. The pantyliners are shorter than the day pads and have absorbent terry cloth sandwiched between two layers of cotton flannel. Will they leak? GladRags are designed to be comfortable and absorbent. The flaps that snap around your underwear act as wings to protect the sides of your panties. However, GladRags can leak if left unchanged for too long, just as disposable pads will if they become too saturated. Do they have a nylon backing? The terry cloth makes them very absorbent, so there is no plastic or nylon insert in GladRags. And they find it is not necessary because GladRags are so absorbent! But just like disposable pads, they will leak or spill over if you leave them on too long. You will become familiar with just how long you can go before changing your pad. You should change your GladRags about as often as you would change disposables (every 2 to 6 hours, or as needed). Where are GladRags made? Portland, Oregon, USA. How long will GladRags last? GladRags are made to last at least 5 years. Many women still use the same pads they bought from us when they started in 1993! How are they mini and maxi? GladRags are meant to be as versatile as their customers are. You can customize your GladRags according to your menstrual flow by using more or fewer inserts inside the holder. On heavy flow days, use both inserts that come with the GladRag, or add a third (you can purchase extra inserts and extra holders in the GladRags Extras section of their website). On light days use only one insert. Why do I change the whole GladRags pad, instead of just the inserts? The versatile 3-part design of GladRags, serves multiple purposes: the layers combine to make a thick, absorbent pad that then separates for thorough washing and faster drying; the inserts allow you to customize the pad for your flow. Use one insert and it's a mini pad, use two and it's a maxi. If you have an especially heavy flow you can order an extra insert and use three inserts in the holder, so it's a super maxi. But note that GladRags are so absorbent they actually sell more extra holders because many women find they only need one insert much of the time! What kind of fabric are GladRags made from? All of their GladRags are made from cotton flannel and cotton terry cloth. The color pads are conventional cotton flannel and the undyed are organically-grown cotton flannel. How does the Night Pad work? This pad is longer and wider to provide more coverage while you are lying down. In addition to the terry cloth in the inserts, the night pad holder has a layer of terry cloth throughout so you get extra protection. It's wonderful to go to bed and rest assured that you're covered! The night pad can be used as a post-partum pad and some of their customers with larger bodies or heavier flows use it during the day. What to Get How many do I need? Menstrual cycles vary greatly from woman to woman. Most women use 6 to 12 day pads and 1 to 3 night pads and maybe supplement light days with pantyliners. It all depends on your flow and how often you do laundry. Change your GladRags as often as you would change a disposable, and remember: a pad consists of the holder and two inserts, and so you must change the whole thing, not just the inserts. You can get started with their Pad Sampler Kit. Or, you may wish to reward yourself with one of their comprehensive Deluxe Kits. Which pads are best for me? About the Cost Savings Do GladRags cost more than disposables? No, they're actually much cheaper. When compared to the amount of money spent on disposables, it only takes a couple of years to make up the cost of your GladRags. They are made to last 5+ years. Many women tell us they still use the same pads they bought when they started in 1993! Think of this: it would be tremendously expensive (not to mention wasteful!) to continuously re-stock their kitchens with disposable paper plates, so they buy plates that they can use indefinitely. They make an initial investment into something reusable that will last a long time. It's the same with GladRags. I know using GladRags saves money in the long run but it's expensive to get started. What should I buy with a limited budget? You could start with a Pad Sampler Kit. Another option is to supplement GladRags with your current products and add to your collection over time as your budget allows Safety Concerns Are GladRags as safe as disposables? Yes! They've all had that time when they weren't quite expecting our period some blood got on our underwear. You didn't think they were now dangerous to your health because you got some blood on them and you probably did not throw them away. They think that it is safer to launder reusable pads than throw disposables in the landfill. Disposable pads and tampons are not sterile products, although the over-packaging and whiteness of these products leads you to believe they are. In fact, they are often laden with harmful chemicals that can be absorbed by the skin in one of the most porous parts of your body. Can I get toxic shock syndrome when using GladRags? There is always a "chance" of getting toxic shock syndrome (TSS) with any menstrual product. GladRags are one of the safer options because blood is not staying in the vaginal canal, where the development of TSS is most likely to occur. TSS is caused by usually harmless bacteria found on our skin or in parts of our body. If the bacteria get into the bloodstream, through a cut or tear, they release a toxin. While the risk is still minimal, tampons create a more ideal opportunity for the growth of these bacteria and can dry out the vaginal canal by absorbing the vagina's natural moisture, which can lead to minute tears and increase the chance of TSS. Are GladRags FDA approved? GladRags are FDA accepted for market (nothing is FDA approved) and registered with them. Post-Partum, Vulvodynia, Allergies, Incontinence Do GladRags work for women with vulvodynia, vaginitis or allergies? Yes! They've sold many GladRags to women dealing with these conditions who find the pads helpful during their cycles. Many women have noticed that tampons and disposable pads can be a source of vaginal irritation, and most are unaware that disposable products are highly processed and may contain chemicals to "keep you dry" or cover up odor. Vaginal irritation, allergies, burning, itching, and frequent yeast infections, can all be the result of, or exacerbated by, disposables. Do GladRags work for light incontinence? Yes! A number of their customers have told us they use GladRags for light incontinence. Again, they help prevent irritation and allow your skin to breathe, which is important for people who are wearing them everyday. And just the same as with menstrual use, the number and style of GladRags you use will depend on how heavy your leakage is. Please note that GladRags are not designed for full incontinence. Mary from Delaware notes her success at using GladRags for stress incontinence: "Just sending a note to let you know how much I love your product! I don't really need any pads because they last SOOOOOO long...in fact I no longer need them "monthly". Yes, they have seen me through to menopause (and some occasional stress incontinence). I find the day holders alone are sufficient enough to make me feel secure every day... Keep up the good work..." Are GladRags good for post-partum? Yes - the night pads are especially great for post-partum. While many new moms find they need a large amount of GladRags or pads to carry them through post-partum, any amount of reusable pads would be helpful. They are softer and kinder than plastic on your skin. Some women place their inserts in the freezer after dipping them in witch hazel. The cool inserts soothe and help your tender parts heal. GladRags' customer, Mary, had this to say about GladRags: "Thought I'd let you know that I love my GladRags. I've had them for at least 10 years and they're still going strong! I've used them post-partum after having their three children, and not just in the conventional way. I made a tea of healing herbs and put some on my liners and popped them in the freezer...they were a welcome bottom-soother after delivery!" Sustainability GladRags are designed to last five years. But they know some women who still have the pads the bought early in their business that started in 1993. That's a long time! Using a product one time is not enough. Think of all the tampons and pads you use each time you menstruate and then think about how many times you will menstruate in your lifetime. If you menstruate 340 times in your lifetime, using 20 disposables per period, that amounts to 6800 pads or tampons thrown away. Now consider all the women using disposables in the world. If 500 million women use disposables throughout their lifetime, that's 3.4 trillion pads or tampons thrown away! Not only is landfill space taken up, but these materials cannot be reused and are no longer part of the resources available to us. Then, of course, there's all that packaging, (wrappers, boxes, applicators) that are also thrown away, all the garbage bags used, all the diesel fuel used to truck those products to the stores week in and week out. Using GladRags for even a portion of your cycle makes a difference! GladRags Story Inspired by the simple utility, earth-friendliness, and comfort of cloth diapers, GladRags was founded in 1992 in Portland, Oregon. It began as a home based business that quickly outgrew the extra bedroom and moved to its own building. Today, GladRags is still a small company but with a big presence, promoting positive attitudes toward menstruation and making the environment a safer, cleaner place. GladRags can be found in health food stores and natural pharmacies nationwide. GladRags' Awards and Acknowledgements: Inherit the Earth Award for Environmental Education (1997) from Connecticut College Founder of a New Northwest (1999) from Sustainable Northwest with the Pacific Rim Association of Resource Conservation and Development Councils Best Sustainable Sanitary Napkins (2009) from Willamette Week's Best of Portland 10 years commitment and support of Employment of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities (2009) from Oregon Employment Services Corporation (OESCo) GladRags Staff They have a small team of employees that keep GladRags running day to day - filling orders, answering customer questions, and brainstorming how to get more women to switch from disposables and join the GladRags Community. In addition, they hire a crew from Oregon Employment Services Corporation (OESCo), which finds job opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. The OESCo crew joins us one afternoon per week to package pads, pantyliners, and cups for store shelves and mail order. GladRags Mission "Reusable pads. That's gross!" That's a comment they've heard more than once. But just envision your lifetime supply of used pads and tampons in landfills or washed up on a beach. Now that is gross! The menstrual cycle is a healthy and natural process and it is their mission to create healthy products and market with a positive spin. Language is a powerful force. By talking about their cycles more openly - with positive images and language - they believe women can re-define menstruation.

Microsoft has recently introduced a new and innovative email feature for Hotmail users. Hotmail Email Alias, as it is coined, allows Hotmail users to setup aliases using their existing Hotmail account.
What is an Email Alias?
Email alias is an alternate email ID that is mapped to any existing email address. The core idea behind these aliases is to avoid spam to enter in your original email address. So if you have an email address that you are using for your official or private matters, and you don't want it to be crowded with spam, having an email alias can be very handy and useful.
Email Aliases offered by Other services
Email alias is not a new thing altogether, lot of email services allow users to generate a dummy sort of email alias with the inclusion of a "+" sign to the main email address. For example, if email@example.com is a primary email address of a user, adding up a "+" sign with a description word like "blogger" would generate an alias that is firstname.lastname@example.com. This generated alias would be mapped to the original email ID and spam can be avoided. But the main problem with this particular method is that anyone can figure out the primary email ID from the structure and spam will still keep on coming.
Hotmail Email Aliases
Microsoft has solved this issue with their latest email alias service. Users can choose a completely different email address that will act as an alias to the existing one. Currently you can create up to 15 email aliases for a single Hotmail account with a maximum of 5 per year.
How To Setup the Hotmail Email Alias
Here is what you need to do setup an alias for your Hotmail email ID:
1. Login to your Hotmail account and hover over the Inbox. A cog icon will show up, click it. Then choose Create a Hotmail alias. You will be taken to Hotmail alias creation page.
2. You can also use this link [1] to go directly to the Hotmail email alias creation page after logging in to your Hotmail account.
3. Enter the name of the alias and choose the email extension. Now use the Create an alias button to create the alias and map the same to your existing account. Once the availability check is done, the alias will be created.
NOTE: In some cases, you may be prompted to enter your Hotmail address using the Windows Live ID. Once you are done entering your primary email ID details, the alias page will ask you to choose the email alias for your existing Hotmail ID.
4. You can now opt for a separate folder to save all the incoming mails to the newly created alias or you can save them to the Inbox.
5. Once the alias is created, you will receive a confirmation email in your primary Inbox.
6. If, at any point of time, you wish to remove any of the email aliases you created, go to Account>Other Options>Your Email Addresses and use the Remove option beside the email alias.
Application of Hotmail Email Aliases
Minimizing Spam To Your Primary Email Address:
Well the obvious purpose of this email alias service from Hotmail is to minimize the amount of spam you receive in your primary email address. So, from now on, drop in your alias email instead of your primary email when you visit any shopping site or any services site you can.
Using Task Specific Email:
People who love to use email for staying anonymous, would definitely benefit from this feature. You can use not only your aliases to receive mails, but also to send mails using them. While sending a mail, use the you can choose to use an email with an anonymous mail ID. Refer to the screenshot for detailed instructions.
Better Email Management:
With separate folders, email management is a much better option, in case you have multiple email addresses for different purposes.
Overall, the new feature has definitely made Hotmail a better service, and was a long-awaited need for every Hotmail user. Please let us know what you think about the new change in the comments below.

During college I worked at a now-closed Salt Lake City restaurant called Le Parisien, and I still have happy memories of the French onion soup there, something I ate pretty much every time I worked. This recipe for Slow Cooker Lighter French Onion Soup from Mountain Mama Cooks starts out by caramelizing the onions right in the slow cooker. The soup cooks all day on low and when you're ready to eat, you dish the soup into individual bowls and melt the cheese under the broiler. Kelly lightens up the soup by using a moderate amount of butter and cheese, but this soup sounds like there's still plenty of flavor.
Ingredients for this Slow Cooker Recipe:
- butter
- onions
- garlic
- brown sugar
- dry sherry
- beef broth
- fresh thyme
- bay leaf
- whole wheat bread
- Jarlsberg or Swiss cheese

My grandfather was John Tollefson. He served aboard the USS Fremont in World War II. He passed in April 2016, and my family and I would love to talk with anyone who served with him. Thank you
Patrick Ryan
My father served on the Fremont in World War II. His name was Alexander Evanko, but probably went by Al. He was a shipfitter third class. He had previously served on an LST and took part in the Normandy Invasion, so he couldn't have joined the Fremont until it returned to Pearl Harbor in August 1944, at the earliest. I believe he was on the ship until he was discharged in March 1946. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in 1980. I'd be interested in finding out anything I can from his old shipmates. You can contact his son George Evanko at email@example.com.
Does anyone have a picture of Fremont when she was in drydock at Mare Island Shipyard in Aug 1946. If so, I would like to hear from you. Please write or call.

A special welcome for the USS Fremont signalmen.
If you ever want to re-live your experiences aboard an APA watch "Away All Boats!" starring Jeff Chandler, Richard Boone, George Nader, Julie Adams and Lex Barker. If you watch real close you may see Clint Eastwood. Clint had a one line bit part in the movie. This movie is based on the novel "Away all Boats" by Kenneth Dodson. The story was conceived during Mr. Dodson's wartime service aboard the Navy attack transport USS Pierce APA-50.
The movie's fictitious ship the USS Belinda APA-22 was played by the USS Randall APA-224. The USS Fremont played a minor roll in the making of this movie. The following are recollections of SM2 Kenneth Sapp and GM3 Joe Montgomery: SM2 Kenneth Sapp -- "I was on the Fremont when they made the movie "Away all Boats". I think the ship they used to film on was the USS Olmstead or one of her class. If you see the movie the Fremont can be seen in the background of several scenes. It was filmed off the island of Vieques". GM3 Joe Montgomery -- "We were operating with our "Sister Ship" at the time, the USS Randle APA-224. I was able to get a glimpse of the sail boat that was used in the movie. Also, I was one ot the coxswains that hit the beach with the Marines".
This movie serves as an excellent depiction of what it was like to serve aboard an attack transport. If you were a crew member aboard the USS Fremont you will not be disappointed with this movie for there are many scenes that will cause you to remember life aboard ship.
In the movie there was a Tennessee sailor who was in charge of the garbage grinder. With the exception of being a scrounge, I can relate to the character's job as I was placed in charge of the garbage grinder during my 90 days of mess duty. When in port and unable to use the grinder, empty boxes would be stacked in the grinder space. Myself and several marines who had also been assigned mess duty would hide behind the boxes and play poker.
The movie like most movies does not do the book justice, therefore it is my recommendation that you read Kenneth Dodson's book. Believe me, it is far better than the movie. I have read the book three times over the past 40 years. A year prior to his passing, Mr. Dodson informed me that the USS Pierce (Mr. Dodson's ship) and the USS Fremont sailed many a sea mile together during WWII. "Away all Boats" was re-published by the U.S. Naval Institute, Annapolis, Maryland as part of their "Classics of Naval Literature" series. In the re-published book's introduction, Capt. Robert Shenk USNR (Retired) states, "The Navy .... bought one thousand copies of the novel for officer training--perhaps the only time fiction has ever been used for such a purpose. Clearly, Dodson was successful at conveying the essence of the naval side of amphibious work to laymen and professionals alike." USS Fremont WWII veterans will find the parallels between the books fictitious USS Belinda's adventures and their own experiences very similar. A great addition to a book collector's library.
Kenneth Dodson passed away May 24, 1999 at his home in Stanwood, Washington after a long fight with Parkinsons. He was 91. Dodson was lucid and communicative right to the end. Like any good seaman, he had everything planned and all the details worked out. He even wrote his own obituary. Dodson was buried in the Fern Hill Cemetery, Anacortes, Washington with full military honors. He had just finished a book about his relationship with author Carl Sandburg and this book is soon to be published. Kenneth Dodson's passing was reported to me by his friend Jim Allen.
APA sailors have lost a good friend in Kenneth Dodson. Mr. Dodson in his book "Away all Boats" immortalized for all time our service aboard an APA. He will be missed by all of us who have heard the call "Away all Boats, All Boats Away".

BREVARD, N.C. - The Brevard College Men's Tennis squad opened their fall schedule Friday afternoon at their own tournament, the BC Mountain Invitational. Doubles play was the feature of the men's draw on Friday, and Coach Paul Thomson sent three of his own pairs into action.
In the A Flight, the Tornado squad of Cole Altizer and Jarred Fisher finished with a 1-2 record. Altizer and Fisher opened with a close 9-7 loss to the Pfeiffer team of Lawson and de Witt, then followed it with an 8-3 loss to the North Georgia duo of Patrick and Saulias.
