|This file is intended to be a brief introduction to the build
|This file (UPDATING) is intended to be a brief reference to recent
|process and a reference on what to do if something doesn't work.
|changes that might cause problems in the build process, and a guide for

|None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
|sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
|now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
|mode for most common activities, there is a new config
|file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
|The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
|is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
|configuration file is also strongly advised.
|See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
|the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
|Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
|build the included texinfo files, do:
|cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
|make MKINFO=no dependall install
|The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
|"${DESTDIR}" from path names.
|This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
|For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
|update tools/mtree, before running make build.
|CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
|if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
|install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
|alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
|of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
|The build system was modified to take advantage of
|this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
|use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
|reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
|fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
|If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
|and rebuild libc:
|make includes
|make do-lib-libc
|If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
|before rebuilding the tools.
|The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
|including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
|All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
|The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
|(and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
|split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
|This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
|new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
|libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
|required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
|do this.
|An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
|which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
|their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
|A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
|NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
|default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
|objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
|compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
|to the assembler.
|Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
|old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
|incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
|The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
|a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
|against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
|markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
|The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
|the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
|system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
|generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
|have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
|if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
|If you have questions about this matter, please contact
|Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
|Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
|to be rebuilt.
|The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
|dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
|must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
|A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
|which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
|must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
|Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
|framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
|before building a new kernel.
|The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
|will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
|file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
|ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
|options MULTIPROCESSOR
|options COM_MPLOCK
|MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
|certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
|linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
|and /sbin are dynamically linked.
|If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
|you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
|make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
|USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
|- TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
|there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
|- EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
|root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
|enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
|gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
|reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
|Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
|are now provided in /rescue.
|To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
|what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
|from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
|crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
|is statically linked.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
|smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
|sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
|will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin
|Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
|the build process).
|NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
|etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
|configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
|the problems identified.
|This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
|configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
|<bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
|Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
|Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
|on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
|newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
|ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
|if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
|to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
|Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
|so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
|the VAX assembly files.
|ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
|will break as mtree aborts early.
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin
|If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
|reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
|toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
|To fix:
|Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
|Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
|After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
|In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
|you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
|point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
|point is broken.
|To build:
|remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
|remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
|against the new libgcc.a)
|Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
|the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
|required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
|to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
|to build a new kernel.
|libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
|before building libc.
|The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
|see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
|procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
|build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
|manual update log.
|Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
|BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
|UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
|by the new build system.
|src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
|symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
|prevented this was corrected.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
|Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
|for you.
|/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
|absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
|understand the format.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
|Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
|is suggested before running a snapshot build
|The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
|a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
|files that still reference this file.
|Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
|grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
|requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
|building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
|the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
|(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
|`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
|kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
|(i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
|from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.
|See 20011029 above and BUILDING file in this directory for more information.
|[updated 20020630 since i386 gas moved when USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN enabled]
|Bootloader update on ELF platforms. DDB in kernels from before
|this will be unable to read symbol tables provided by newer
|Texinfo was updated to 4.0. To avoid failures when trying to
|build the included texinfo files, do:
|cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
|make MKINFO=no dependall install
|Enabled correct .init/.fini processing in crt0. The way this
|was done was to change a -I directive to cc(1), which means
|make(1) will have a stale dependency (it will be checking the
|timestamp on the wrong "dot_init.h").
|The symptom you will see is that new programs die with SIGSEGV
|if you have a stale dependency.
|Solution: "make cleandir" in both lib/csu and libexec/ld.elf_so
|before starting your build.
|A construct was added to uvm_page.h that uncovered a bug
|in lint(1). If you get a warning/error about a non-portable
|bitfield, update your lint(1) before proceeding.
|Added named user/group to system. Need to hand add this in or builds
|will break as mtree aborts early.
|To work around add by hand:
|to /etc/group and add:
|named:*:14:14::0:0:Named pseudo-user:/var/named:/sbin/nologin
|to master.passwd (use vipw for instance if doing by hand).
|Now a make build should progress.
|get/setprogname() added. Any hostprogs that may use this will need
|to be bootstrapped manually until the host system is current.
|Known problems: sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff

|CFLAGS and rebuilding should work)

|building a snapshot before fully bootstrapped.
|prepare the code to compile with stricter gcc flags. in
|particular start eliminating redundant declarations. Yacc
|needs to be installed before make build.
|introduce .if commands(target) in make(1). You need to
|bring everything up-to-date first, then without installing
|anything make and install in usr.bin/make, then proceed
|with make build.
|bsd.subdir.mk committed 20001230 had a bug which caused
|afterinstall targets to run too soon; update again.
|New share/mk files needed to support .WAIT in SUBDIR variables.
|If you get make errors,
|(cd share/mk; make install)
|Also, PRINTOBJDIR has changed and is now used more heavily.
|The `ca' device driver has been replaced by `ld'; although the
|major and minor numbers haven't changed, you should update your /dev
|The following make directives are obsoleted.
|By default, RSA is built into libcrypto. IDEA and RC5 will not be

CASTINE, Maine -- Salve Regina knocked off Maine Maritime 42-8 in a New England Football Conference game Saturday. The Seahawks remained perfect in the NEFC at 5-0, 6-2 overall, while the Mariners dropped to 1-4, 1-6.
Dan Buonocore rushed for a game-high 136 yards for Salve Regina, Steven Wilken was 21 of 31 for 347 yards and Alex Hule (9 catches-109 yards) and Matthew Traynor (7-146) caught most of Wilken's passes to pace the Seahawks offense.
Billy Wehterbee carried 27 times for 127 yards for Maine Maritime and Michael Fahey added 43 yards on 14 carries. Joshua Doolan caught three passes for 44 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown.
Salve Regina benefitted from a Maine Maritime fumble on the opening kickoff of the game, and went ahead 7-0 five plays later on a one-yard run by Buonocore.
Maine Maritime took its only lead of the game after its defense forced a four-and-out with 7:34 left in the first quarter. The Mariners put together an 8-play, 80-yard drive that was capped off by a 20-yard touchdown pass from Fahey to Doolan. The drive was kept alive by a roughing the punter penalty on Salve and Wetherbee's four-yard run on fourth-and-three. Wetherbee's two-point run gave the Mariners an 8-7 lead.
The Seahawks took the lead for good early in the second quarter. Wilken capped a 9-play 80-yard drive with a 16-yard sprint and gave Salve Regina a 14-8 lead. Wilken hooked up with Traynor on 17-yard pass on Salve's next possession to put the Seahawks ahead 20-8.
Salve Regina added 22 unanswered points in the second half to secure the win. Wilken fired scoring passes to Hulme and Traynor and Pascale added a one-yard run.
The Mariners missed a scoring opportunity in the third quarter with a third-and-goal at the Salve 1. An errant pitch fell on the ground and Phil Terio fell on the ball for the Seahawks.
Danny Ives led Salve Regina's defense with 11 tackles. Joshua Burnett tallied eight and Troy Smith finished with seven.
Frank True picked up a game-high 12 tackles for Maine Maritime, with a pair of sacks. Josh Doyon and Michael Cummings each finished with nine tackles.
The Mariners return to action Saturday, 1 p.m., at MIT.

Some Siddha Home Remedies made with fenugreek will be detailed below as well as its medicinal properties.
The name fenugreek is from the Latin word "Greek hay".
It is mainly used as a digestive aid. It is also widely used by nursing mothers to increase inadequate breast milk supply. Studies have shown that fenugreek is a potent stimulator of breast milk production and its use increases milk production to as much as 800%. It is available in capsule form in many health food stores.
By itself, fenugreek has a somewhat bitter taste.
Several human trials demonstrate the anti-diabetic effects of fenugreek and helps ameliorate most metabolic symptoms associated with type-1 and type-2 diabetes in both humans and relevant animal models. It is currently available commercially in encapsulated forms and is being prescribed as dietary supplement for control of hypercholesterolemia and diabetes by practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine.
In recent research, fenugreek was experimentally shown to protect against cancers of the breast. The hepatoprotective property of fenugreek seeds is also well known.
Also fenugreek is found to have the following properties, according to some Siddha texts.
1. Pacifies 'heat'.
2. Stops diarrhea
3. Cures hemorrhoids
4. Cures halitosis or bad breath
5. Cures mouth ulcers
6. Soothes itching
7. Helps treat skin diseases
8. Arrests hair fall
9. Cools eyes
10. Clears red eyes
11. Softens skin
12. Strengthens body
13. Cures inflammation
14. Cures cough
Following is one of the many Siddha home remedies for stomach ache using fenugreek.
Fenugreek – 100 gm
Cardamom seeds – 25 gm
Sugar candy – 250 gm
Wash fenugreek thoroughly. Dry it in shade. Put it in an earthen pot and pour 300 ml lemon juice to it. Close the pot with a lid and heat it over stove. Reduce the juice to half. Remove from the stove and let it cool. Now filter out the fenugreek seeds and dry it in shade. Once dried, grind the seeds to a coarse consistency.
Similarly clean the cardamom seeds thoroughly and dry it in shade. Once dried, fry the cardamom seeds slightly over fire and then powder the seeds. Add this to the powdered fenugreek. Add powdered sugar candy to this mixture.
How to Use
Take a spoonful of the powder along with a glass of warm water in the morning one hour before breakfast. Similar procedure is adopted in the afternoon and night.
Things to Avoid
Groundnuts, oily food, meat, pumpkin etc should be avoided. Do not keep awake late into the night. Do not wander about in sunlight. Avoid excessive sexual indulgence.
Preferred Diet
Fresh vegetables, ghee, buttermilk, honey, pepper, garlic, pomegranate, orange, banana etc can be taken in plenty.

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND--(Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2012) - As a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, Glass Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:GEL)(NZAX:GEL) ("Glass Earth" or "the Company") is issuing the following news release to clarify its disclosure:
Glass Earth announces that to enable compliance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, all non-compliant disclosures of historical resource estimates, current resource estimates, and estimates of contained ounces in potential exploration targets, have been amended or removed from the Company's website, corporate presentation and fact sheet pending amendment for compliance.
As part of this process Glass Earth is revising its disclosure documentation and related processes to ensure compliance now and in the future with NI 43-101 guidelines.
Glass Earth advises that these changes affect disclosures in relation to the Muir's-Massey Reef, WKP and Placer projects. Going forward, the Company intends to follow NI 43-101 rules requiring classifications and fixed quantities and grades for current resource estimates, cautionary language and other details for historical resource estimates, quantity-grade ranges and cautionary language for exploration targets, and to file NI 43-101 reports supporting its resource disclosure within the prescribed periods.
Specific clarification related to earlier non-compliant disclosure in the Company's Muir's property news releases from January 27, 2012 to June 28, 2012, the Company previous website, and investor materials are as follows.
Prior disclosure of the Muir's historical estimate was not compliant with NI 43-101 because it omitted mandatory cautionary language and other information required by NI 43-101 for all written disclosure of historical resource estimates.
GEL clarifies and restates its Muir's historical resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 section 2.4 as follows:
The Muir's Property has an historical estimate of 390,000 oz gold, quoted at a grade of 1.5 g/t gold, using a cut-off of 0.5 g/t, no classes are identified or known.
GEL retracts the Muir's recent "in-house" estimate of 5.6 million tonnes grading 1.25 g/t gold disclosed by a Corporate Presentation on the Company Website of November 2012 (the Corporate Presentation) pending preparation of a technical report, as the estimate is not compliant with s2.2 and s3.4 of Ni 43-101. The Company will promptly announce any material resource estimates that result from preparation of its Muir's technical report.
GEL retracts the prior disclosure of a 2008 "global" resource at WKP (previously disclosed in the Corporate Presentation) as these estimates omit classifications and information required by NI 43-101 about the estimation procedure. The Company will promptly announce any material resource estimates that result from preparation of its WKP technical report.
Specific clarification related to earlier non-compliant disclosure for the Company's Placer projects in the Corporate Presentation and other investor materials:
Technical Reports are being prepared. The company intends to finalize technical reports in relation to Muir's, WKP and Placer on or before 21 January 2013.
GEL acknowledges the following disclosures of potential exploration targets did not meet the requirements of NI 43-101 to use ranges of quantity and grade, explain the basis for the disclosures and to include mandatory cautionary language. The company therefore retracts the disclosures in the Corporate Presentation and other investor materials of large ounce-only quantity ranges or ounce quantities with associated fixed grade, referred to as "potential," at WKP, Ophir, and Muir's.
NI 43-101 disclosure requirements for resources and reserves also apply to adjoining or nearby properties. To clarify, historical production and/or resource estimates and detailed references for production and mineral estimates for the nearby Martha and Golden Cross mines are presented below.
Martha Mine 10 Moz Au and Ag Equivalent (Newmont Waihi)
GEL CEO Mr Simon Henderson, MSc Geology (CODES), an AusIMM Chartered Professional under the Discipline of Geology; is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an employee of the Company. He has reviewed and approved the information given in this press release.
About the Company
Glass Earth Gold is one of New Zealand's most active gold exploration companies with landholdings proximal to world-class gold deposits and cash flow from its wholly owned placer projects. With an experienced geological team the Company is exploring promising gold prospects across both the North and South Islands.
In the North Island, exploration efforts are focused on large epithermal gold systems in the Hauraki Region, akin to the operating Martha Hill mine, (Newmont Mining).
In the Hauraki Region, Glass Earth Gold has identified and developed significant ground positions around the active Martha Hill gold mine operations at Waihi. The Newmont-Glass Earth Gold Waihi West JV (Newmont earning in) and Hauraki JV (65/35), including drilling at the WKP discovery, are being actively explored and managed by Newmont in collaboration with Glass Earth Gold. The recent announcement that Glass Earth Gold has acquired option rights to the Neavesville gold/silver prospect (just north of WKP) will mean an increased exploration focus in the Hauraki region. Glass Earth Gold has also defined several significant epithermal gold targets to independently explore in this region, including the Muir's Reef Gold project.
In the South Island, exploration efforts are focused on the Otago Region, home to OceanaGold's Macraes Goldfield, for identification of mesothermal "Macraes-style" gold targets and revenue generation through placer (alluvial) gold production.

Stamford woman ready to take on Miss America pageant
STAMFORD -- It has been 80 years since someone from Connecticut snagged the title of Miss America, but Stamford's own Kaitlyn Tarpey is hoping that will change this year.
The 21-year-old took the crown of Miss Connecticut on June 22 and is poised to compete in the nationwide competition in Atlantic City on Sept. 15.
"I'm excited," Tarpey said, sitting in the living room of her Cove home. "I have this sense of calm over me. I've been preparing for the last three years."
Winning the title would mean the first time two women from the state took the Miss USA and Miss America crowns in the same year. Two weeks ago, 25-year-old Erin Brady, of Glastonbury, was crowned Miss USA.
There are two Miss Connecticut pageants, with one going on to Miss USA and the other advancing to Miss America. The main difference between the two beauty pageants is that Miss America includes a talent portion.
Five days after winning, Tarpey returned home full of enthusiasm for her victory and the next step in her adventure. Her crown, sash and pictures from the competition sat on the coffee table. Her bedroom is filled with trophies, ribbons and gowns.
"My schedule's a little crazy," she said. "I'm getting booked left and right."
Tarpey explained that she decided to compete in pageants about three years ago, after she had become seriously ill with Lemierre's syndrome and pneumonia. While in the hospital, she told her mother that she wanted to start Irish step dancing again. Her mother, Ann Dzenutis, said they would enter a beauty pageant with a talent competition.
When Tarpey recovered, the mother and daughter looked for local pageants, which is difficult in this area because there's no Miss Stamford or Miss Fairfield County.
"There are certain local pageants that you have to be a resident and others that you have to be a resident of Connecticut," Tarpey said.
In the next few years, Tarpey entered and won the Miss Rocky Hill, Miss Simsbury and Miss Southington pageants. She placed in the top 10 and was named first runner-up in the Miss Connecticut pageant, before finally taking the top prize.
"It was my third try at Miss Connecticut," she said. "The third time's a charm."
Twenty contestants were in the Miss Connecticut pageant, which was held at the Garde Arts Center in New London and awarded a $7,500 scholarship. So far, Tarpey has received a total of $12,200 in tuition toward her education at the Honors College at Pace University. The Miss America pageant awards a $50,000 scholarship.
Tarpey, a senior majoring in professional studies communication, said she plans to work in human resources some day. "But I'm going to put off school for one more semester, so I can prepare for Miss America," she said.
To prepare, Tarpey said she has to practice dancing, speaking, styling her hair and applying her makeup. Next week, she'll go to The Crowning Touch in New Bedford, Mass., to choose a dress for the big show. The store is sponsoring her in the competition.
"My gown is top secret," she joked.
Tarpey will also be promoting her personal platform, which is awareness for veterans returning home from war. During her upcoming speaking engagements, she'll be touching on that subject and how beneficial pageants have been to her life.
As Miss America, she said it's important to be well spoken and, when you enter a room, make sure people think you're the only one in that room. She said she is going to the pageant with the mindset that she has already won.
"I feel you have to walk on the stage feeling you already are Miss America," she said.
Pointing to the crown on the table, she said the four points stand for "style, success, service and scholarship."
Tarpey was born in France, where her father played basketball during the early years of her life and French was her first language. The family moved to Stamford when she was 6 years old and she attended local schools, including K.T. Murphy Elementary, St. Cecilia and Turn of River Middle School. She then attended Loomis Chaffee, a boarding school in Windsor.
At about 8 years old, Tarpey said she began Irish step dancing with the Anam Cara Irish Dance School in Stamford. She is working with instructors at the school to choreograph a contemporary Irish step dance for her routine.
As Tarpey walks the stage, she will have plenty of supporters in the audience cheering her on. She comes from a huge family and dozens of relatives are planning to attend.
Tarpey said she is relaxed about the pageant and plans on being herself. She said she is going to stay the same "Irish dancing, dorky Kaitlyn," she has always been.
"I feel ready," Tarpey said. "I feel I could go to Miss America tomorrow and compete."
The last Miss America to come from Connecticut was Marian Bergeron in 1933. The West Haven girl was 15½ when she won with her vocal talents, according to the Miss America website. She died in 2002 in Ohio.

The medical equipment marketplace is replete with broad selections of equipment and supplies for medical, dental, and beauty salon equipment. There are several websites devoted to supplying such items. Trade networks exist within social commerce climates that constantly move products in this category every hour of every day. It is a highly competitive market and the information provided regarding the products is sometimes reliable and in other situations it is unreliable.
Within this market it is important to know certain facts. In order to learn these facts, you might have to critically shop around and ask many questions. When you do this, you will find contradictory information as well as useful information. You will see that some businesses selling these products are reliable and others are not. Ultimately it is confusing. One of the best companies that I have seen is Crystal Medical http://www.crystalmedical.co.uk.
Crystal Medical has a special niche in the medical equipment marketplace. They offer an exceptional variety of products in many categories including dental, medical, surgical, opthamalic, nursing, homecare, veterinary, pharmaceutical, and software categories. All of the products they offer are of high quality. Their dental equipment line is comprehensive and takes quality seriously.
Perhaps one of their best features is the flexible payment plans. With Crystal Medical, you may purchase medical equipment, dental equipment, and beauty salon equipment outright or you may rent the products on agreement for nominal fees. They have their payment plans set up in such a way that the equipment you purchase can pay for itself with added profit. Often these upgrades in equipment yield better business profits, easily offsetting the cost of the equipment itself.
Uncategorizedly, there are other organizations that offer similar equipment. You should research those as well. I believe you will discover that Crystal Medical offers the best products and the most practical payment plans. Considering the fact that they offer a 5 year warranty on all of the products they sell, it is a deal worth considering. Advance the technology of your healthcare practice with a reliable company and you will be assured better quality and cost.

Gilles Villeneuve
Joseph Gilles Henri Villeneuve (January 18, 1950 – May 8, 1982) was a Canadian Formula 1 racing driver.
- "I will drive flat out all the time … I love racing."
- Henry, pg. 25
- "The sport is more important than anything. More important than any of the people in it. Of course I say what I think. I always have, even if it upsets people like Ecclestone and Balestre. Why should I be afraid of them? The fans aren't here to see politicians and manipulators. They're here to see me. I am very secure in my feelings about racing. I make a lot of money from it, but one thing I can tell you for sure: if the money disappeared overnight, I would still be in racing, because I love it. The entrepreneurs would be gone."
- Interview during the driver's strike at the 1982 South African Grand Prix, Donaldson, pg. 297
Interview with Gilles Villeneuve post-Imola 1982[edit]
Interviewer: Gilles Villeneuve, ninety hours after Imola you've got over the anger, but the fever is still there right?
Gilles Villeneuve: Yes, the fever is still there, as I said at the end of the race, he robbed me of a win and I still think that way.
Interviewer: So you haven't changed your mind?
Gilles Villeneuve: No I haven't...changed my mind. That's how it should be. If you look back at the lap times for the race you'll see I'm right.
Interviewer: Gilles, wasn't there some sort of agreement, beforehand?
Gilles Villeneuve: There was an agreement. I've been with Ferrari now for three years; the order has always been not to get involved with a battle. For instance, if the car's in the lead and there's no one close behind, it's better to go slower and not run the risk of breaking down. In other words, to be sure of finishing.
Interviewer: People are saying that Gilles Villeneuve has never had this sort of problem with other drivers but this time, he wanted to be respected. At least, that's what some people are saying.
Gilles Villeneuve: Er…I don't understand.
Interviewer: People are saying, Villeneuve has always fought hard and has always raced for the sake of racing. This time though, he wanted to be respected as the almost certain winner.
Gilles Villeneuve: Er…I still don't quite understand. When I was behind Jody, in South Africa, I overtook him only when he went into the pits. When I was in Monza, which was the last possibility for me, my last chance of becoming world champion, I stayed behind Jody without even trying to overtake him. When I was er…erm…in Monte Carlo, when I was in Monte Carlo, my gearbox failed but, before that happened, Jody was driving slowly because he had the advantage but I never tried to overtake him. Here, instead it was different. When the slow down sign is out, I slow down, making the other drivers slow down too. And then, Didier overtook me, and if you look at the lap times for Imola, every time that I'm in front I lap at 37.5 to 37.8 to save petrol and the engine also because I have a 45 second lead over Alboreto. When Pironi is leading, we lap at 35.5. Gilles Villeneuve Interview post Imola 1982.
About Gilles Villeneuve[edit]
- "Gilles was a totally uncomplicated non-political guy with no hangups whatsoever. He was totally and completely honest. If we were testing .. and the car was rubbish, he'd come in and say 'Look, the car's rubbish … I don't mind driving the car, don't get me wrong, I'll drive it all day .. and I love every minute of it, but I thought that you ought to know the car's rubbish.' … The Old Man (Enzo Ferrari) loved him for this."
- Harvey Postlethwaite Ferrari Technical Director (1981 - 1987) - Henry, pg. 25
- "He also never drove anywhere at anything less than an absolutely flat-out pace, be it on the road or the track..."
- Harvey Postlethwaite - Henry, pg. 25
- "I think Gilles was the perfect racing driver … He had the best talent of all of us."
- Niki Lauda, triple Formula One World Champion - Donaldson, pg. 318
- "His car control was extraordinary, even compared with the many talented drivers I have had the opportunity to drive against over the years. … [He drove a] Grand Prix car to the absolute limit of its ability."
- Jackie Stewart, triple Formula One World Champion - de la Plante, pg. 122
- I know no human being can do miracles but Gilles could really surprise us sometimes.
- Jacques Laffite Formula One driver, 1982
- "Behind the wheel of a racing car he was fearfully quick, never stopped trying, and could extricate himself from the most precarious situations with deft brilliance."
- Alan Henry, Motorsport journalist - Henry, pg. ii
- "In a situation like that I know I would have been scared stiff. But I am sure that when Gilles felt his Ferrari take off, his last thought was anger, plain and simple, because he knew that he had spoiled that one perfect lap."
- Eddie Cheever Formula One driver and Indianapolis 500 winner - Donaldson, pg. 318
- "His death has deprived us of a great champion - one that I loved very much. My past is scarred with grief; parents, brother, son. My life is full of sad memories. I look back and see the faces of my loved ones, and among them I see him."
- Enzo Ferrari - Donaldson, pg. 322
- "His death signified the passing of a certain approach. He was the last person who had the totally un-inhibited joy of driving a racing car."
- Alan Henry, motorsport journalist and friend of Villeneuve - Donaldson, pp. 316-317
- "Quite seriously, I've never felt anything like the same about racing ever since. I nearly packed it up."
- Nigel Roebuck, motorsport journalist and friend of Villeneuve - Donaldson, pg. 316
- "I was at home in Monaco that Sunday. A friend of mine called from Zolder and said 'Gilles has had a big accident, and it doesn't look good at all.' So I phoned Joann, and shot up to her place very quickly. From then on it was chaos and disaster. You don't want to think about it."
- Jody Scheckter, 1979 Formula One World Champion and Villeneuve's teammate in 1979 and 1980 - Donaldson, pg. 319
- "It was terrible when Gilles died. I cried that day and the next one too, even though I had to race... ...and I remember the feeling that we were all starting equal, from now. Villeneuve was gone. We all knew he had talent beyond our reach."
- René Arnoux, Formula one driver
- "The kids were just 8 and 10 years old and seemed to be doing much better than I expected. That first night they both went upstairs to bed, and later I went up to check on them. They were asleep. When I saw Melanie I started crying. She had a picture of her dad with her. She was holding it in her arms."
- John Lane, long-time companion of the Villeneuves - Donaldson, pg. 319
- "[Gilles] was the fastest driver in the history of motor racing. .. But more important for me is that he was the most genuine person I have ever known."

There are still no answers in a double homicide in Hardeeville. The bodies of two people were found Friday night near a wrecked car.
With mixed emotions and no answers, the family of Desmond Brown is doing their best to try and cope with their loss.
Edward Brown is dealing with the loss of his brother, 25-year old Desmond Brown and his girlfriend 26-year old Octavia Scott. They were both found shot inside their car, in Hardeeville.
Now the Hardeeville Police Department is looking for tips on what happened to Brown and Scott. "Initially it was reported as a vehicle accident, somebody noticed the car crashed into the tree and they were two bodies lying outside the vehicle," says Police Chief Richard Nagy.
Edward says he can't imagine why somebody would want to hurt his brother. "My brother was a good person. He wouldn't have let anybody who he didn't mess with get so close to him. It had to be somebody that he trusted."
And until the missing piece to this puzzle is solved, the questions will still remain.

The 2010 College Bowl games have descended upon us and with it we begin working overtime on the season as we handicap the matchups.
One time-tested theory that holds up well during the post-season is isolating teams and how they fared in games this campaign against winning opposition.
It's one thing to make your mark against stone-cold losers. It's another to be able to go toe-to-toe against winners.
Listed below is a breakdown of 2010 bowlers that fared well against teams that owned a winning record at the time of their meeting this season.
Here are the teams that were winners on both sides of the SU (Straight Up) and ATS (Against The Spread) ledgers against winning teams this season. Check it out:
Auburn 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS
Boise State 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS
Connecticut 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS
Hawaii 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS
Michigan State 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS
Missouri 6-1 SU and 4-3 ATS
Navy 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS
NC State 4-2 SU and 4-2 ATS
Northern Illinois 2-1 SU and 2-1 ATS
Ohio State 7-1 SU and 5-2-1 ATS
Ohio U 2-1 SU and 2-1 AT
Oklahoma 7-2 SU and 5-4 ATS
Oklahoma State 5-1 SU and 3-2-1 ATS
Pittsburgh 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS

Tulsa 3-2 SU and 3-2 ATS
Virginia Tech 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS
West Virginia 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS
Wisconsin 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS
On the flip side are the 2010 bowlers that struggled both SU and ATS in games against winning teams this season. They include:
Arizona 2-3 SU and 2-3 ATS
Army 2-3 SU and 2-3 ATS
East Carolina 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS

The Dynamic Duet!
The original Duet was showered with awards and critical praise and is considered to be one of the finest portable usb audio interfaces available. Not content to sit back and enjoy the complements, the fine men and women of Apogee have announced a successor, sensibly named Duet 2 . Built using the same innovative approach as the Duet, a key element of the process was user feedback. The new unit is packed full of new and exciting features and Apogee have boasted that it will provide even better sound quality!
For those not yet familiar with the Duet it is a purpose built interface, specifically with Mac users in mind and it is optimized for use with Apple's flagship Logic and Garage Band software. The interface enables you to achieve studio quality recordings of vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, anything musical. On top of this the output sound quality is so accurate you can utilise the Duet in mixdown situations too. Finally the unit's modest dimension make it the ideal portable interface and as such it can travel anywhere with you. So if you're a Mac user, why make life more complicated with one of the also-rans? Why not give Duet 2 a try?
At present Duet 2 is expected to land mid to late April. Pre-order yours now to avoid disappointment.

Looking For: Easy and Portable Breakfast Recipes
Liz is looking for quick, portable breakfast ideas. She writes: I'm an elementary school teacher, and I'm always rushing out of the house in order to get into school early to do lesson planning. Since the kids are super-energetic and eager, I definitely need to eat something in the morning to keep up with them. I used to buy a muffin or granola bar on the way, but that's getting expensive. I'm looking for some good quick-breakfast recipes.
We have some ideas for Liz. Read on for a gallery of breakfast recipes, and add your own ideas too!
Here are a few more criteria from Liz: It needs to be something that I can make in big quantities once a week or so and have on hand as I run out the door. It should also be fairly portable, unlike yogurt, so I can eat either as I walk to work or at my desk. And, of course, healthy and delicious would be ideal!
Is this an impossible dream? Or could I possibly get 15 more minutes of real dreaming in a day?
This isn't impossible at all, Liz! We have a few ideas here (click through the gallery above to see which looks most appetizing), and the readers will pitch in with more great ideas.
Most of these are breads or muffins; realistically, that's the easiest thing to make ahead and pack later. But we also think that most quiches and frittatas are great for this too. You can cut them up and wrap each piece individually, then refrigerate or freeze for quick morning consumption.
1. Zucchini Muffins - We like to pack our zucchini muffins with other textures and flavors, too: a handful of white raisins, some walnuts, a quarter cup of flax seeds or oat bran, maybe some extra grated carrots. We also really like this recipe from Simply Recipes, which uses oil or melted butter and doesn't require a mixer.
2. Homemade English Muffins - Sara Kate's recipe is whole wheat, and delicious in the mornings. Just pop in the toaster, put on some butter (or peanut butter, for a protein boost) and eat on your way out the door.
3. Zucchini and Bacon Frittata - This frittata is just as good one, two, or even three days after baking. You can cut it into wedges and wrap them individually for a quick grab and go. It's sturdy enough to eat with your hands, too.
4. Dried Fig and Nut Bars - Homemade granola bars! These are sweet, crunchy, and chewy.
5. Overnight Oatmeal with Apricots and Buttermilk - If you have just a little more time, try steel-cut oatmeal! This oatmeal cooks with apricots and buttermilk overnight in the Crock-Pot. It makes a lot, and it's just as delicious reheated. If you have just five minutes to sit down with a bowl of oatmeal, these creamy, pearly oats will make it worth your time.
6. Bill Granger's Oat, Pear, and Raspberry Loaf - This is a hunk of fruit, baked with oats and spices. It's a dense sort of bread, very nourishing and satisfying on a cold morning.
7. Peach and Spice Tea Muffins - Another muffin. Make a half-batch and store tightly wrapped.
8. "Ham and Cheese" Breakfast Casserole - A breakfast casserole that can also be sliced up, packaged individually, and grabbed on the go.
And two more muffins:
9. Lemon Sesame Muffins - These muffins get doused with a lemon syrup just after baking, which helps them stay soft and moist for up to a week.
10. Mini Blueberry Lemon Muffins - Small, easy, and cute.
OK, readers! Do you have more suggestions for Liz? These are only a few of the breakfast possibilities out there, of course. What do you depend on for quick, portable breakfast?

Colin TonePrint by Guthrie Govan
Guthrie's TonePrint covers three classic chorus sounds, which can all be obtained using the same TonePrint. How's that for cool? He was looking for a fast Leslie-type sound as a first option, which you get by cranking the Speed and Depth knobs. With all knobs at 12 o'clock, a nice all-round chorus sound is heard and by leaving the speed at 12 o'clock and turning the depth up, you can get awesome John Scofield-like 'almost-out-of-tune-but-still-musical' sounds.

Other TonePrints by Guthrie Govan
TC: Who inspired you over the years when you were creating your own personal guitar tone? Guthrie: In the early days, it was all the usual suspects - Cream-era Clapton, Hendrix etc... I also grew up listening to a lot of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, so I reckon there must be some Zal Cleminson in my tonal DNA, too: there's a lot of clarity and bite in the guitar sounds on those old SAHB albums... Later on, I started to seek tonal inspiration from pretty much everything I heard around me - including instruments other than guitar - so hopefully no single influence is too predominant these days!
TC: How would you describe you basic sound? Is there a specific kind of tone or feel that you're going for? Guthrie: I suppose I'm generally looking for a vintage-style sound, but one that "goes up to eleven". I like the idea of having enough gain to ensure that any long notes can potentially sustain and/or feedback indefinitely, but it's still pretty important to me that the amp should listen to what I'm playing, and preserve all the dynamics, variations in pick attack and so forth. Proximity to the amp, and of course sheer volume, seem to help a lot with the quest for sustain: I think everything tends to sound somewhat more musical when you make the amp's power tubes work a little harder... If the voicing of the preamp is too compressed, you risk losing a lot of that "human" element - so I usually prefer the unforgiving, "hard to play" kind of overdriven sound, which preserves more of the nuances.
TC: Do you use specific effects to achieve your core tone (e.g. delay, reverb, etc.)? Guthrie: It depends on the gig. If I'm doing a fusion-type gig in a small club, naturally, it's fun to cover the whole floor with envelope filters, ring modulators and childish toys of that general nature, so I can entertain myself by making some funky noises. When I was playing with a band like Asia in the bigger venues, on the other hand, I would try to use as little processing as possible - in an attempt to make sure the people in the back row could hear all the notes properly. (Many of those venues have a certain acoustic mushiness, which tends to rob the sound of any real definition: using reverb or delay in that kind of setting can only make matters worse!) The Dizzee Rascal gig has been an interesting one, in the sense that we're playing a lot of tracks which don't feature any guitar on the original recorded versions. Whilst preparing for that gig, I just had to find the most appropriate tone on a song-by-song basis - so in the end the best solution turned out to be a G-System, with a couple of extra overdrive pedals into the loops - and a separate patch (or group of patches) for each song.
TC: Have you ever been so inspired by a tone you created that you ended up writing a tune or riff based on that specific tone? Guthrie: I can't think of any specific instances, but I'm sure it must have happened at some point! Every tonal detail brings out something slightly different in me - even something silly like switching from one pickup to another will affect the kind of things I want to play.
TC: Do you work on developing your tone continuously, or do you feel that you have found a fundamental tone that will last throughout your career? Guthrie: I think I've probably found a fundamental approach to tone which is unlikely to change over the coming years, but hopefully the details will keep evolving. I can't imagine ever being smug enough to stop caring about how to make things sounds a little better... consciously or otherwise, the way a listener perceives someone's guitar playing is hugely affected by the tone, so that stuff really does matter!
TC: What inspired you when you created your TonePrints? Guthrie: The promise of idiot-proof flexibility, I guess! Well, whenever I use a chorus pedal in a gig situation, I always find myself wanting that pedal to do more than one thing. Most of the time, I'm looking for one of the following three sounds: - An all-purpose "pretty" chorus, to make chords sound just a little more spacious, - A high-speed pseudo-Leslie effect for those Hammond-style comping moments, and - That Scofield-esque lead sound where the depth is almost on the verge of sounding out of tune. I like the idea that, using mystical TonePrint cyber-voodoo, I could set the range of each knob in such a way that each of those three sounds would be easy to access in real time, by turning each knob to an obvious setting like "12 o'clock" or to "all the way up". This way, you get a decent variety of tones at your disposal, all from a single pedal - and you can switch from one tone to another in a matter of moments, without messing around with MIDI presets.
TC: You had access to a lot of tweakable parameters. Did any new ideas for future tones pop up in the process? Guthrie: Indeed. Well, we never even touched on the potential of that tri-chorus option! It's a great sound, very lush and expensive-sounding - it just didn't seem appropriate for any of the specific tones I was going for when we did our first TonePrint session. It would be cool to revisit the pedal at some point, to explore the other half of the Corona's spit personality...
TC: Normally, do you prefer having access to many parameters, or do you like simple pedals with just a few knobs better? Guthrie: For a live situation, I always find it comforting to keep things relatively simple. For me, one of the appealing things about doing a TonePrint was the reductive aspect - it felt like we were essentially hiding all the unnecessary options, and trying to make a pedal which couldn't be persuaded to make a bad sound, however the knobs were set. Having said that, it was something of an eye- and ear-opener to discover just how many options are actually available in one of those pedals - even after spending an evening tweaking the Corona, it still doesn't feel like we exhausted all the possibilities. Tweaking can be a lot of fun, to be sure - it's just not something I want to be doing mid-gig.Read more about Guthrie Govan

Make your home an Energy Star!
When you do home maintenance, also do a home energy audit to find out how you can save money by making your home more energy efficiency. And if every American home replaced just one conventional light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes a year.
It's electric!
You can check how much of your electricity comes from renewable "green" power sources, such as wind or solar. Green power produces less carbon emissions, reduces air pollution, and helps protect against future costs or scarcity of fossil fuels. If green power is a consumer option, check price differences from suppliers before you buy. Click here to see how much of your energy comes from "green" sources.
Maintain It!
Keep your appliances in good working order and follow the manufacturer's suggestions for operation and maintenance. Shop for products with high consumer satisfaction and fewer breakdowns. If kept in good working order, your appliances should last a long time and not end up as waste before their time.

Car Review
2012 Honda Odyssey: New Car Review
Pros: Massive, highly usable interior; seating for seven; quick acceleration; exceptional driving comfort
Cons: Lower than expected fuel economy; polarizing body design
When it first hit the market in 1995, the Odyssey looked more like a bloated five-door hatchback than a minivan. Unlike other minivans, its rear passenger doors didn't slide but instead opened like standard sedan doors, hinging from the front. It wasn't until 1999 and the introduction of the second generation that the Odyssey took on a traditional minivan sliding door structure.
Honda launched the current, fourth-generation Odyssey in 2010, giving it updated body lines and a new overall design. What was once a banal body with a flat window line was transformed into a much more bulbous, modern-looking family hauler. Although some have applauded Honda for taking a design risk with the new Odyssey, others have derided the current model's looks.
The 2012 Odyssey is available in LX, EX, EX-L (which has available rear entertainment system or navigation options), Touring and Touring Elite versions. The lineup starts at $28,225 and tops out at $43,675.
Comfort & Utility
The Odyssey's interior and features are much like those of nearly every other minivan on the market. The most notable difference between the Odyssey and its competitors is its interior build quality. The seats, dash, storage compartments and trim in the Odyssey are all surprisingly well constructed. Every surface in the Odyssey looks and feels sturdy.
The 2012 Odyssey is cavernous on the interior, with 172.6 cubic feet of total passenger volume and 148.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the front seats. With comfortable and flexible seating configurations, numerous storage bins and pockets and up to 15 beverage holders, the Odyssey is ready for whatever a family can ask of it.
The third row, which Honda calls a Magic Seat, is 60/40 split folding and enables the Odyssey to quickly and easily adapt between passenger and cargo hauling. It can accommodate three passengers and still provide 38.4 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the seats, or it can fold completely flat into the floor, creating 93.1 cubic feet of cargo volume while still maintaining room for five passengers. With the second row of seats removed, total cargo volume expands to 148.5 cubic feet. Total interior volume, with passenger and cargo volume combined, measures 210.0 cubic feet.
The 2012 Odyssey is available with most every modern technological treat a customer could desire from a minivan. The Odyssey can be optioned with satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity with voice command, a rear-seat DVD screen that folds down out of the ceiling and a "cool box" for chilling drinks.
The Touring model has an improved multi-information display with on-screen custom programming of such functions as interior lighting and door locking.
Performance & Fuel Economy
All 2012 Odyssey models have a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 248 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque, and there are two transmission choices. On the LX, EX and EX-L, Honda offers a five-speed automatic transmission. On the Touring and Touring Elite models, the Odyssey is fitted with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The EPA has estimated the Odyssey LX's fuel economy at 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The Odyssey Touring, thanks to its six-speed automatic transmission, does slightly better at 19/28 mpg.
The 2012 Odyssey features dual-stage, multiple-threshold front, side curtain and dual-chamber front and side airbags with Honda's passenger's-side occupant position detection system A vehicle stability assist system, active front-seat head restraints and pedestrian injury mitigation are all standard, as is Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, helping the Odyssey better absorb collision energy, especially in a front-end crash. That structure is now in its second generation in the Odyssey.
Driving Impressions
Many people promise themselves they'll never own a minivan. But for millions of Americans, family life necessitates owning one. Should they climb behind the wheel of the Odyssey, they'll be pleasantly surprised by its excellent driving capability. Most impressive is the power output from the 3.5-liter V6.
The power delivery of Rolls Royce has been described as wavelike. When a driver puts his or her foot to the floor, it doesn't rocket forward in a jerk of power. Instead, it builds like a force of nature beneath the driver, rocketing smoothly forward across the landscape. The power delivery in the Odyssey is much the same-smooth but intense and quite satisfying.
During hard off-the-line acceleration, the Odyssey does suffer from some front-wheel slippage. But that is to be expected from a 248-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine wedged into the front end of a big family vehicle.
Unfortunately, we found that, thanks to the Odyssey's impressive power output, fuel mileage wasn't as good as advertised. We suspect it will take a soft-footed, Zenlike driver to get close to the EPA's fuel economy estimates.
Other Cars to Consider
Toyota Sienna - Starting at $25,060, the Sienna is one of the cheapest minivans on the market, but it doesn't beat the Odyssey by much. Fitted with a significantly less powerful base four-cylinder engine, the Sienna is less fuel efficient than the V6-powered Odyssey.
Chrysler Town & Country - Starting at $29,995, the Town & Country is an old favorite among minivan buyers-with an emphasis on old; the Town & Country hasn't been updated since 2007.
Nissan Quest - Starting at $25,990, the Quest comes standard with a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 mated to a continuously variable transmission. We think the Quest is far and away the best competitor for the Odyssey, with comparable power, efficiency, utility and technology.
AutoTrader Recommends
We think even the base Odyssey is fantastic at $28,225. But if it were our money, we'd want to upgrade to the Odyssey Touring for $41,180. The Touring includes satellite navigation, rear entertainment and the six-speed transmission, which not only makes the Odyssey more fuel efficient but also much more enjoyable to drive.

Joe Nelli , a dedicated community volunteer and longtime member of St. Michael Catholic Church in Gastonia, died away this week, and as the church he loved so much prepares for its annual fun fair, I wanted to remember him.
Joe was the cheerleader for hundreds of students at Gardner Park Elementary School through his involvement with the Gastonia Kiwanis Club. The club sponsors the Terrific Kids program at the school, which recognizes students for displaying good character. Each month, we publish group photos of these students, and for as long as I can remember, there would Joe, standing behind these kids with a proud smile on his face.
Character mattered to Joe, and you can tell that by the children he raised, and the kids his own kids have raised. Many of them have appeared on the Community Spotlight Page, recognized for academics and sports accomplishments, but most important good deeds. They have followed in Joe�s footsteps in working to make the world around them a better place.
When you consider he had eight children and a busy career at FMC Lithium, it�s hard to believe he could be so committed to his community. His obituary told the story � Knights of Columbus, board member of Boys Scouts Troop 504, Gaston County Schools mentor, founder and director of St. Michael�s Saturday Morning Basketball League, just to name a few.
Joe loved the St. Michael�s Fun Fair, held each fall on the church campus. This year�s event takes place Oct. 5.
As is tradition, it kicks off at 8 a.m. with a 5K road race through the picturesque (but hilly) neighborhood and a 1-mile fun run. It�s followed by the much-anticipated pancake breakfast, and then the fair gets underway in earnest. It takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day comes filled with games, prizes, rides, bingo, a silent auction, basket raffles and a bake sale.
You can learn more by visiting www.SMSGastonia.com and click on �Fun Fair 2013� at the bottom of the page.
St. Michael is at 704 St. Michael�s Lane, just off US 321 and Jackson Street.
I have a feeling that on Oct. 5, Joe will be smiling as he looks down on folks of all ages have a great time at the fun fair.
Joe was 86 when he passed. His was a life well lived.

Rebels raped more than 80 women in two days in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A United Nations refugee agency estimates that rebel groups have killed as many as 500 Congolese civilians in the northeastern region in the past month and displaced over 40,000, New Vision reported.
According to the Agence France Presse, rape is a common tactic used in conflicts in central Africa. This attack came shortly after thousands of Congolese women marched in Kinshasa last month to protest rape as a weapon of war.
Since the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo began in 1998, tens of thousands of women and girls have been raped in sexual violence widely viewed to be a war tactic. Dozens have been raped in recent weeks by combatants.

We all know that countries change borders. Some even disappear. Others take on new names. Only the outlines of continents is the same in 1700, 1800 and 1900.
Even within the United States changes affect where your family lived and where the records they left behind will be found. A farmer in Illinois may never have moved but he may have lived in three or more different counties. As people moved into an area the counties were split and became new counties often more than once. He might even have lived in one state and then in another such as when West Virginia broke off from Virginia during the Civil War.
Most genealogy records in the U.S. are on the county level. Deeds, probate records, marriages, and court records can all be found on this level. At one time vital records were on this level with the states taking over in later years.
Naturalization records can be on the county level, the state level and the federal level. They all must be checked.
Study maps of the time. If you ancestor lived on the far side of a large river from his county seat he might have done much of his business, including getting married, in the next county whose county seat was closer and easier to get to.
Towns disappear especially in the West where boom towns flared and failed within a few years. Some towns have been buried under reservoirs and others just changed their names or were engulfed by larger nearby cities. It is important to learn the history of the area you are researching.
There are countless sources for this information especially on the Internet. A few places to try are local historical and genealogical societies, museums in the area, written county histories, and how-to genealogy books. Two of the go-to books on my shelf are: Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920 by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide and The Handybook for Genealogists published by The Everton Publishers, Inc. Both of these books are old and probably out of print but if you come across one . . . grab it!
An example from the "Handybook" is Perry County, Illinois. It was formed in 1827 from Randolph and Jackson Counties. (Information on my ancestors is in all three counties.) The county seat is Pinckneyville and the county clerk has incomplete birth records from 1879, complete from 1916 to present, marriage records from 1827, death records from 1879 and the Circuit Court Clerk has divorce, probate and civil court records from 1827.
Never give up. New records are being found and published all the time. When you go back to work on a line after a few months or years not only will your research skills be different but the sources may be too.

I'm kinda having a hard time wrapping my mind around interrogative and relative pronouns. I guess the problem is that they are both the same, except for a few words. That's where I'm getting stuck.
In the Latine Disco for Orberg's Lingua Latina, it says, "At the end of the chapter, you find sentences with both the interrogative and the relative pronouns, e.g. Quis est puer qui ridet? In the feminine, the two pronouns are identical: Quae est puella quae plorat (the relative quae refers to puella)"
In Wheelock's Latin, it says, "The interrogative pronoun quis? quid? is declined in the plural exactly as the relative pronoun is. In the singular, also, it follows the pattern of the relative with TWO exceptions: (1) the masculine and the feminine have the same forms; (2) the nominative forms have the distinct spelling quis, quid.
So, according to Orberg, there IS a difference between the nominative masculine singular and the nominative feminine singular interrogative pronouns (quis and quae). According to Wheelock, there's not a difference (both would be quis).
So, the question is multiple choice:
a) Orberg doesn't know what he's talking about
b) Wheelock has his head in his nether regions
c) They are actually both right, and the Romans followed both formats
d) If c is true, screw both of those guys for being so confusing.
