Arch Installation
There are plenty of resources available to help new users install and configure a basic Arch Linux installation, including the Official Installation Guide and the Beginners Guide.
That being said, the following tips are specific to the Dell Inspiron 6400 and may be of some help during installation.
If an Ethernet (wired land-line) broadband internet connection is available it is highly recommended that Arch be installed with the smaller FTP ISO. If you plan to have a desktop environment (KDE, GNOME, etc) then the majority of the packages you require will come from the internet repositories and not the Arch CD itself. This method will get you up and running in the shortest amount of time. Simply download the FTP ISO, burn it to a CD and restart your computer.
The following steps assume you are connected to the Internet with a wired Ethernet connection, as opposed to a wireless connection.
Boot the Arch Setup CD
If the laptop does not boot from the CD, reboot and press F12 at the DELL BIOS splash screen to access the boot menu. From there you can choose to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
For the most part, the default settings should be fine, however the following notes may be of assistance.
0 - Configure
Just follow the prompts, choosing the defaults when asked. Make sure you allow the setup to detect your basic hardware automatically when asked.
1 - Prepare Hard Disks
The following is an example partition table. The example hard drive is 100GB and is configured to run only Arch Linux. Your settings will vary depending on the size of your hard drive and the number of operating systems you plan to run.
sda (100GB) sda1 ext2 100MB /boot (the boot loader files and kernel images will be installed here) sda2 swap 2.1GB swap (this example notebook has 2GB of RAM and we want to leave room for suspend2disk (hibernation) functions) sda3 ext3 6GB / (root--everything else will go here except for the files in /home and /boot) sda4 ext3 90GB /home (it's actually less than 90GB because ext3 filesystems reserve space to avoid capacity problems, but you get the point)
2 - Select Packages
- Choose a mirror
- Choose only the base packages
- Select all packages by default
3 - Install Packages
- Answer yes to cache packages (default)
- Grab a coffee, it's going to take a while to fetch 100MB of packages
4 - Configure System
Choose your preferred editor; either vim or nano.
A few files can be left alone, but there are some changes worth mentioning:
- Change your locale if necessary, for example Canadians will want to use en_CA:
- Change the timezone if necessary, for example:
- To get rid of that ever-so-annoying system beep, blacklist the PC speaker module:
- Change the hostname if you desire a unique name, for example:
- If your Internet Service Provider assigns your IP address automatically (and most do), make sure eth0 is set to dhcp:
Add a second line under localhost with your unique hostname (the same hostname you chose in rc.conf) in place of localhost, for example:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 dublin.localdomain dublin
No changes should be necessary.
No changes should be necessary.
No changes should be necessary.
No changes should be necessary.
Uncomment the languages files you wish to use, including the one you configured under LOCALE in the rc.conf:
#en_BW.UTF-8 UTF-8 #en_BW ISO-8859-1 en_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_CA ISO-8859-1 #en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8 #en_DK ISO-8859-1
Canadians should probably uncomment en_US, en_CA and en_GB.
root password
Set a root password.
pacman mirrors
You can either use the same mirror you used to install the base packages, or you can choose a different one at this time. The mirror you select at this stage will be your default repository after installation is complete.
5 - Install Kernel
The default choices should be fine.
6 - Install Boot Loader
If you are installing Arch as the sole operating system on the notebook, just go with the default settings. If you are dual-booting with another OS, choose the options carefully to avoid problems with your existing settings.
- When installing GRUB, you can also append vga=791 to the kernel option to set your terminal (framebuffer) resolution to 1024x768, for example:
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro vga=791
7 - Exit
Reboot, eject the CD and log into your new Arch Linux installation.
Synchronize Repositories and Update
When logging into Arch for the first time, it is a good idea to make sure the local package database is synchronized with the Arch software repositories and that all of your software is up to date. From the console, type:
# pacman -Syu
Add Users
At this point you can add a local user account by typing:
# useradd -m johndoe # passwd johndoe
The -m flag creates the user's /home directory and copies the default configuration files to it (from /etc/skel)
Note, you will not be able to use the sudo command with this account until you install and configure sudo.
If you plan to install a desktop environment (e.g. GNOME, KDE, etc.) you must install and configure Xorg.
Install the necessary packages:
# pacman -S xorg xterm hwd
The hwd program (Hardware Detect) will examine your hardware and create a default configuration file for Xorg (/etc/X11/xorg.conf):
# hwd -xa
You should now have a working X setup, however the default configuration uses the generic VESA graphics driver. If you want to run your desktop at its native resolution (e.g. 1680x1050) and enable 3D acceleration, you'll need to install the appropriate driver for your video card. See the Video section below for detailed instructions.
Desktop Environments
Arch Linux supports a variety of desktop environments and window managers, all of which must be installed manually. Refer to the following list for more information:
Openbox: Openbox Wiki
GNOME: GNOME Wiki
Xfce: Xfce Wiki
KDE: KDE Wiki
KDEmod: Visit the KDEmod website at http://kdemod.ath.cx/ or see the KDEmod Wiki for more information.

Sigmatel/Intel Chipset
The Sigmatel audio chipset should be detected automatically during installation, requiring no input from the user. For example, the following kernel modules are configured in /etc/rc.conf by default:
snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore
ALSA Audio Drivers
Refer to the ALSA wiki for general assistance with volume settings, group permissions, etc.
OSS Audio Drivers
See the OSS wiki for more information.
ATI X1300/X1400 Radeon Mobility
Proprietary Driver (catalyst/fglrx)
Note: ATI has rebranded the fglrx driver to be known as 'catalyst'; at this time only the package name has changed.
The catalyst ATI proprietary driver is available from the standard Arch repositories and is the simplest way to get full 3D acceleration and native resolutions on your notebook:
# pacman -S catalyst
Run the aticonfig tool to automatically add the appropriate settings to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
# aticonfig --initial
Lastly, we need to modify /etc/rc.conf and add the fglrx kernel driver to the MODULES section, for example:
MODULES=(fglrx b44 mii snd-mixer-oss ...)
Reboot and confirm that the ATI driver is working by typing fglrxinfo in a terminal. The results should look something like this:
display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 OpenGL version string: 2.1.7059 Release
Further information can be found at the ATI wiki.
Open Source ATI Driver
Please refer to the ATI wiki for more information.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Open Source Intel Driver
Install the driver:
# pacman -S xf86-video-intel
Use gft to generate the Xorg Modeline values and then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add these values to the Monitor section, for example:
Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "unknown" Modeline "800x600" 40.12 800 848 968 1056 600 601 605 628 #60Hz EndSection
Lastly, add the following to the "Device" section, replacing the existing Driver value if present:
VideoRam 229376 Option "CacheLines" "1980" Driver "intel"
Intel 945GM Batch Speed Boost
In some cases the 945GMs do not run as fast as possible. To test this first install the mesa pacakge then run:
And note the average FPS Next export the variable for INTEL_BATCH
export INTEL_BATCH=1
Now rerun glxgears. Do you get more FPS? If so edit your /etc/environment file adding the line
Logout then Login.
nVidia GeForce Go 7300
The NVIDIA Driver Wiki works fine. A side note: When running Beryl/Compiz-Fusion, while opening multiple instances of FireFox, the entire window went black. Forcing AIGLX solved this.
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Ethernet
The Broadcom Ethernet card should have out-of-the-box support. No configuration necessary.
Dell Wireless 1390
Dell does not offer native Linux drivers for the 1390 wireless card. Fortunately, ndiswrapper can be used to install the Windows driver:
# pacman -S ndiswrapper
Download the 1390 driver from the Dell website:
$ wget http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R140747.EXE
Create a temp folder and extract the driver:
$ mkdir ~/Dell1390 $ mv R14070747.EXE ~/Dell1390 $ cd ~/Dell1390 $ unzip -a R14070747.EXE $ cd ~/Dell1390/DRIVER
Configure ndiswrapper to use the Windows driver (do this as root):
# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf # ndiswrapper -l # ndiswrapper -m # modprobe ndiswrapper
Test the new driver by typing iwlist scanning in a terminal.
To load the driver automatically at each boot, add ndiswrapper to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf, for example:
MODULES=(fglrx ndiswrapper b44 mii ...)
Finally, remove the temp folder used during installation:
$ rm -rf ~/Dell1390
Dell Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n Wireless (Intel 4965AGN)
Grab the driver packages:
# pacman -S iwlwifi iwlwifi-4965-ucode
Edit /etc/rc.conf as root and add iwl4965 to the MODULES list:
MODULES=(fglrx iwl4965 b44 mii ...)
Add wlan0="dhcp" to the NETWORKING section:
eth0="dhcp" wlan0="dhcp"
If wlan0 is listed in the INTERFACES section, make sure it is disabled:
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !wlan0)
Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module
Install the bluetooth libraries and basic utilties:
# pacman -S bluez-libs bluez-utils
Add bluetooth to the DAEMONS list in /etc/rc.conf, for example:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng powersaved bluetooth ipw3945d ...)
Now, depending on your desktop environment, install the appropriate tools:
For GNOME:
# pacman -S gnome-bluetooth bluez-gnome
For KDE:
# pacman -S kdebluetooth
Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module
The steps described above for Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module work with Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module too.
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
With the release of Intel's open source iwlwifi driver, 3945 owners now have two choices for wireless drivers. As the iwlwifi project matures, the ipw3945 driver will become obsolete, however until that time it will remain below as a second alternative.
Install and configure NetworkManager before attempting to install the Intel 3945 wireless drivers. Refer to the Networkmanager Wiki for more information.
Method 1: iwlwifi driver
Grab the driver packages:
# pacman -S iwlwifi iwlwifi-3945-ucode
Edit /etc/rc.conf as root and add iwl3945 to the MODULES list:
MODULES=(fglrx iwl3945 b44 mii ...)
Add wlan0="dhcp" to the NETWORKING section:
eth0="dhcp" wlan0="dhcp"
If wlan0 is listed in the INTERFACES section, make sure it is disabled:
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !wlan0)
Method 2: ipw3945 driver
Grab the Intel 3945 driver packages:
# pacman -S ipw3945
Edit /etc/rc.conf as root and add ipw3945 to the MODULES list:
MODULES=(fglrx ipw3945 b44 mii ...)
Add eth1="dhcp" to the NETWORKING section (Note: It is sometimes detected as eth2 instead of eth1, use ifconfig to verify yours and, if necessary add eth2="dhcp" instead):
eth0="dhcp" eth1="dhcp"
If eth1 (or eth2) is listed in the INTERFACES section, make sure it is disabled:
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !eth1)
Add ipw3945d to the DAEMONS list before the dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ipw3945d dhcdbd networkmanager alsa ...)
Conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92 modem (winmodem)
The Conexant modem requires the proprietary hsfmodem driver. Dell offers a debian package hsfmodem_7.60.00.06oem_i386.deb at their support site that works at full speed unlike the trial version from Linuxant which works at 14.4kbps.
The following PKGBUILD can be used to create an archlinux hsfmodem package from the debian package:
pkgname=hsfmodem pkgver=7.60.00.06oem pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Conexant modem driver by Dell" url="http://support.dell.com/" license=("unknown") arch=('i686') source=(${pkgname}_${pkgver}_i386.deb) md5sums=('80d38fccab347638fa7a2237b458b428') build() { cd $startdir/src/ ar x ${pkgname}_${pkgver}_i386.deb tar xzf data.tar.gz cp -a usr etc $startdir/pkg/ }
- Download and place hsfmodem_7.60.00.06oem_i386.deb and the PKGBUILD in a new folder, and run
makepkgto create the package. See ABS for details on building packages.
- Run
hsfconfigas root to build the module and initialise the modem. A reboot is required before the modem can be initialised. Run
hsfconfigagain after reboot.
- The modules are automatically loaded and a
/dev/modemsymlink is setup for use with the modem. Now use wvdial or other dialer programs to connect to the internet.
Ricoh R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Card Reader
The Ricoh card reader should work out of the box, as long as MOD_AUTOLOAD is set to yes in /etc/rc.conf. Assuming you use a HAL-aware desktop (GNOME, KDE, etc.), when a memory card is inserted, the kernel should automatically load the mmc_core/mmc_block modules and mount the new filesystem according to your desktop's automount settings.
This has been confirmed with the following card types:
- SD Card
Synaptics Touchpad
The Synaptics touchpad should provide basic functions out-of-the-box, however if you would like to use the scroll zones and enable other advanced features, please refer to the Synaptics Touchpad wiki.
Power Management
ACPI Hibernation/Suspend with pm-utils
The powersave scripts have been officially replaced by pm-utils. Refer to the Pm-utils wiki for detailed instructions.
Note: ATI video card owners might need to add vga=0 to the kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst in order to resume from suspend2ram. For exmaple:
# (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 resume=/dev/sda2 ro vga=0 initrd /kernel26.img
This behavior seems to change from version to version of catalyst, so your mileage may vary. Try it without vga=0 first, and if it doesn't work then add it.
CPU Frequency Scaling with cpufrequtils
Refer to the Cpufrequtils wiki for step-by-step instructions.
Multimedia Buttons & Fn Hotkeys
Unfortunately, configuring multimedia buttons and function keys on your laptop can be complicated process. Factors that must be taken into consideration include your choice of Desktop Environment (or lack thereof) and the actions you wish to bind to the special buttons or keys. For a detailed explanation of what is required, please refer to the Hotkeys wiki.
The following tips may offer some assistance in getting started.
Multimedia Buttons
For the most part, the Volume and Playback buttons should be recognized as an unassigned key by the Linux kernel. In which case, all that is necessary is to bind the button to an action.
It is also worth noting that the multimedia buttons and equivalent Fn key shortcut (e.g. Fn+PgUp = Vol Up) will produce the same keycode, so if you configure the button, the Fn hotkey combo will execute the same action.
The GNOME desktop provides an easy method for binding multimedia keys to their appropriate action.
- Browse to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and scroll down to the Sound section.
- Click on an item (e.g. Mute) and then press the corresponding multimedia button
- Repeat this process for all of the multimedia buttons
The volume buttons should now work system-wide, and the playback buttons will now work in media players such as Rhythmbox and Exaile.
Openbox and other Window Managers
The xbindkeys utility is highly recommended for lightweight desktops such as Openbox--refer to the Hotkeys wiki for information.
The following is an example ~/.xbindkeysrc config file, making use of the multimedia buttons:
# vol up "amixer set Master 2dB+ unmute" m:0x10 + c:176 # vol dn "amixer set Master 2dB- unmute" m:0x10 + c:174 # vol mute "amixer set Master mute" m:0x10 + c:160 # play/pause "audacious -t" m:0x10 + c:162 # back "audacious -r" m:0x10 + c:144 # forward "audacious -f" m:0x10 + c:153 # stop "audacious -s" m:0x10 + c:164
Function (Fn) Hotkeys
Function keys seem to be less standardized than the Volume/Playback buttons, and therefore it can be difficult to get all of them working properly. For example, the Standby shortcut (Fn+ESC) may be recognized while at the same time the Hibernate shortcut (Fn+F1) is not. To make matters more confusing, it appears that some Fn keys such as those that adjust the LCD brightness are controlled by the BIOS, independent of the Operating System. Again, the Hotkeys wiki is highly recommended reading.
The following example shows how one can configure the Dell Media Direct button, Eject (Fn+F10) and Hibernate (Fn+F1) hotkeys to execute specific commands:
First, assign kernel keycodes to the Media Direct button and Fn hotkeys, using the /etc/rc.local script (which is executed before X loads):
#!/bin/bash # # /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script. # setkeycodes e009 122 # e009 eject fn setkeycodes e012 130 # e012 mediadirect setkeycodes e00a 123 # e00a hibernate fn
Then use the xbindkeys utility to bind the newly recognized keys to a custom action. Here's an ~/.xbindkeysrc config file:
# media direct button "streamtuner" m:0x10 + c:134 # eject function hotkey "eject" m:0x10 + c:210 # hibernate function hotkey "sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate" m:0x10 + c:209
Finally, execute xbindkeys at startup by placing it in your .xinitrc (or appropriate startup file for your environment):
xscreensaver -no-splash & eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` & xbindkeys & #sleep 3 pypanel & exec openbox
As stated previously, it can be a complicated process involving lots of trial & error troubleshooting, but hopefully this will help you get started.

A letter to the New York Times editor about how local honey helps to fight allergies got me thinking, does it really work? I've heard about this natural allergy-fighting remedy before, but I've always wondered, how do you know it works? How much would you need to consume?
I use only local honey. The wildflower honey I get from a South Jersey honey producer is amazingly delicious. Tasted alongside of the grocery store honey that comes in a little bear, there's no comparison. I always stock up at the end of farmers market season so I have enough to last me through the winter.
No one in my family suffers terribly from seasonal allergies. My oldest son and I get itchy eyes and a bit of a sore throat when the seasons start to change in the spring and fall, but it only lasts a couple of days. We wait it out and don't take any medication.
I wonder if our symptoms would be worse if I didn't buy local honey? Could the honey mustard chicken recipe that my boys like so much that I make it weekly in the winter be medicinal?
The theory about local honey and allergies is this: your local bees are more likely to collect pollen from the local flowers in your area. That pollen will end up in small amounts in the honey produced. By ingesting that honey on a regular basis, the person eating the honey will build up immunity to the pollens from the flowers in their local region. It's sort of like a vaccine taken little by little.
That's the theory. There doesn't seem to be any scientific evidence to back that up, however. I can't find any scientific studies that test the theory. Even without scientific evidence, this seems like one of those ideas worth trying. There are other proven benefits, too. Honey can immediately sooth a sore throat (whether it's caused by seasonal allergies or not). It's a natural, temporary energy booster. According to the National Honey Board, it "contains small amounts of a wide array of vitamins and minerals, including niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc."
In addition to the health benefits, buying local honey helps support local honey producers. Small bee farmers are on the front lines of helping to save our decreasing bee population right now, and purchasing their local products can help keep them in the fight.
My question to you is, do you use local honey to alleviate the symptoms of your seasonal allergies? Do you believe it works and why? I'm really curious.

Too many is a lot better than enough.
Because enough is just that — enough names to fill the void. And Charles Barbier had the problem of having too many from which to choose to fill that void.
This is a good problem to have. The LSU football program likely would agree.
New players take the field each year, and many of them become legends. LSU has a lot of them, and Barbier had to choose exactly which legends to highlight to fill a bare wall in the Pastime Restaurant's dining room.
What a great problem to have. A fun one, too, because most patrons never really noticed the void until it was no longer there.
Restaurant owner Randy Wesley didn't really notice it either.
That is, until he spotted Barbier painting LSU football players in a nearby parking lot. That's a story in itself.
Barbier has started a new tradition with the players in the parking lot. Each represents a current LSU player who has done well during the week. If a certain player doesn't do well in the next game, but another does, the number is changed on the jersey to represent the player who shone.
Barbier doesn't say if he'll carry this tradition through to the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Monday, Dec. 31. That's when the LSU Tigers face the Tigers of Clemson University.
Surely that game will produce some amazing plays by LSU players to join others in Tiger history, a history Barbier referenced when developing his mural.
It's filled the dining room wall since the beginning of the season and will serve as a backdrop when customers fill the room to watch the Chick-fil-A Bowl on New Year's Eve.
That was the idea when Wesley checked out Barbier's work, then commissioned the artist to fill the void in the dining room.
Those familiar with Barbier's work immediately will recognize his style, especially in his murals. Barbier usually grounds the scene with a large panel in the center and frames it with small panels along the sides.
Each of the small panels tells its own story, which contributes to the bigger story in the center.
This is how Barbier mapped out his mural commemorating Ryan Field at BREC's Greenwood Community Park near Baker. He may use the same format when he creates a mural for the BR Walls Project later in 2013.
And it's what he's done at the Pastime.
Billy Cannon is the main character here, clutching a football and using alligators as stepping stones while heading for a goal line in the Louisiana swamp. Running behind him on either side are LSU legends Jimmy Taylor and Jerry Stovall.
Now, Cannon wasn't running through a swamp when he made his iconic run against Ole Miss on Halloween night in 1959, but Barbier wanted his mural to commemorate Louisiana as much as its flagship university's football team.
"I wanted it to be distinctly Louisiana," Barbier said. "And I wanted to include current players, as well as past players."
This is why Tyrann Mathieu can be seen running through the swamp in the distance, the tag "Honey Badger" beneath his likeness.
"Even though he's off the team now, he did do some amazing things to help get the Tigers to the national championship game last year," Barbier said. "It was only right to include him."
Then came the problem. Who to include in the side panels and who to leave out? Wesley suggested a couple of Tiger legends who are still customers in the restaurant, All-American linebacker Warren Capone being one, quarterback Bert Jones being another.
"Charles took about a week to paint the mural," Wesley said. "He'd come in and look at the wall and start on one part, and we would try to guess what he was going to paint next. It was great to see it all come together, and a lot of customers still come in and look at it and comment on how they notice something different each time they look at it."
Other featured players are running back Dalton Hilliard, defensive end Sam Montgomery, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and late offensive lineman Eric Andolsek.
"I had a class with Eric when I was at LSU," Barbier said. "He was a great guy. And I realized that we needed someone to represent the offensive line in the mural, and I thought Eric would be good."
Barbier is right. Andolsek is a good representative. All of the players chosen for his mural are.
And if Barbier hadn't decided on this particular group of LSU legends, other representatives could have been featured.
All this to say that LSU has plenty of football legends from which to choose, and any of them rightly could have represented the program.
Too many definitely is a good problem to have.

Stuart Little was a big help in learning to read
E.B. Whites mercurial mouse makes bedtime stories fun for parents, too, the author finds.
By Jane Flanagan
Thank God for E.B. White.
The mans dead nearly 20 years now, but I will go on being grateful that he lived.
White, who was born in 1899, was a writer for the New Yorker and co-author of The Elements of Style, a working bible for writers. Ive long been inspired and delighted by his work.
Once I became a parent, however, my gratitude mushroomed.
I first began reading to my son, Rusty, 6, when he was a toddler. Aside from a couple of classic gems, such as Goodnight Moon and The Little Engine That Could, it was slow going. Most books were boring and uninspiring. I assumed this had to do with the limitations of toddler books and expected things to improve.
They didnt. Pondering why, I observed that childrens books today fall into specialized categories. They are instructional: taking a bath, going to bed every page advancing the lesson. Or one note: jumping on the bed, the line-up book (lining objects end over end from the bedroom to the kitchen). Or, brand stories: a limitless category of books marketing a product i.e. Disney movies.
Store shelves are packed with an endless supply of brightly colored, beautifully illustrated books. But the stories?
The bedtime reading hour left me feeling depressed. It was a potentially high moment of my parenting day, but I was bored. Then one evening I picked up Whites book, Stuart Little.
I turned to the chapter, The Automobile. Rusty flashed a look of delight. He wasnt even sure what an automobile was, but knew he was interested. I knew what an automobile was all right and was sure I wasnt. Turns out I was wrong.
This automobile was a miniature model car built by a dentist friend of Stuart Little. Stuart, a 2-inch-tall mouse, stopped in to see Dr. Carey to discuss a personal problem. Although the dentist was in the middle of pulling out a patients tooth, he invited Stuart in. The mouse took a seat on the instrument tray, and began discussing his problem as the dentist yanked.
Rusty laughed and laughed.
Stuart explained that he was in a jam. His beloved Margalo, a bird, had disappeared and he simply had to find her. Appreciating the challenge, Carey loaned Stuart the car.
It was after he hit the open highway the Saw Mill River Parkway that I started laughing. Motoring northward through Westchester, Stuart passed a man seated in thought alongside the road.
Youre worried about something, arent you? asked Stuart. Turns out the guy was in an impossible situation. He was the superintendent of schools in that town.
Thats not an impossible situation, said Stuart. Its bad, but its not impossible.
He offered to solve the superintendents immediate problem by filling in for an absent teacher. The super was grateful but questioned whether, at 2-inches tall, Stuart, could maintain discipline. Not to worry.
Ill make the work interesting and the discipline will take care of itself, he said.
And there you have it. From farce to topical to inspiring in less than four pages.
And nary a lecture in sight. Just when you think White is about to launch into one, he zags. For instance, in that classroom. After skillfully commandeering the students attention, Stuart set to teaching. This is how he handled spelling:
A misspelled word is an abomination in the sight of everyone, said Stuart. I consider it a very fine thing to spell words correctly and I strongly urge every one of you to buy a Websters Collegiate Dictionary and consult it whenever you are in the slightest doubt. So much for spelling. Whats next?
And writing:
Goodness, said Stuart dont you children know how to write yet?
Certainly we do, they answered.
So much for that then.
The next evening at dinner, Rusty, not one normally inclined to discuss books, discussed this one. Recalling the classroom scene, he concluded with, So much for that then. He laughed and laughed.

About this font family
Maybe I should have named this font "Communist Block". But it also works well for Colonial-style tavern signs.
It's square, geometric and rigid, and is the perfect thing for totalitarian themes. The family consists of three fonts: Kolega ("Comrade" in Polish), Kolega Tall, and Kolega Podrobska (Fake Comrade).
Kolega and Kolega Tall are fully charactered with U.S., European, Greek and Cyrillic glyphs. The latter font is meant to use in English only; although it contains many accents and character variations, they mean nothing. It's a joke.

text: Amy Park is known for her carefully rendered, large-scale watercolor paintings featuring iconic architecture. She works almost exclusively from photographs. Her subjects have included Donald Judd's structures in Marfa, experimentally designed homes in California, and other icons of Modernist architecture. Her best-known series is based on a famous series of architectural photos by Julius Schulman; while Park faithfully reproduces Schulman's original compositions, she selects the jeweled colors based on her recollection and interpretations. Another body of works was inspired by the New York City urban landscape, with particular attention paid to repeating textures and patterns. These works were based on Park's own photographs of major landmarks and skyscrapers, reimagined with more intensely saturated hues.

Gamers standing up for what they believe is the perfect industry may have helped more than they knew.
No, it wasn't unknowingly...we were all well aware of the crap that they tried putting on us and the industry they tried to kill with greed.
To save the industry, Don Mattrick must be sacrificed to the great Sega Sanshiro.
Their are some Xbox fanboys that was saying drm is the future this and that I'd like to see the looks on there faces now to all the none bias Xbox fans out there that see this danger 1up to you cuz you guys help save gaming
If it was up to the xbots everyone would be drinking DRM for tea right now
I for once need to thank Sony fans. If they would have kept their mouth shut and not trolling every xbox sites and articles with negativity and just play along and pretend the DRM is a good thing, MS would have stay on course and I would have second thought about the Xbox1 and might get a PS4 instead. Now, I am so happy that the system is DRM free and I can go ahead and feel good about my purchase.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

LYONS, Colo. (AP) — Thousands of residents have poured out of the mountain towns around Boulder, Colo., over the past week, fleeing unprecedented floods that tore down hillsides, carried away homes and piled slabs of highway like stacks of books.
In those frantic moments, many residents left behind their most prized possessions. Lives are more important than objects.
As officials concentrate on finding missing residents, damage assessments and recovery, evacuees are returning to their ravaged communities. Some are finding that their belongings have been destroyed. Others are clutching their damaged possessions, but don't know if they will last. Those who don't know what happened to their things are hoping they survived, somehow.
Whatever the outcome, the stories behind the items they left behind will stay with them.
—David Tiller, mandolin.
As he sat astride his mountain bike on the deserted Main Street in Lyons, which was among the biggest towns heavily damaged in the deluge, Tiller, a bluegrass musician, was thinking about the electric five-string mandolin he left as the water rose.
A friend carved it for him 20 years ago, when he was first starting out, and stamped the inlay work with symbols of their relationship, including a hand holding a baby. His family had taken only instruments and recording equipment with them, leaving all their clothes and even their toothbrushes behind at their home.
"The studio that it was in doesn't exist anymore. There's water rushing right through it. So it's down the river somewhere," Tiller said, talking quickly and nervously about his lost mandolin.
When he began to talk about the musicians who came to play in his home studio, though, he slowed down and he almost smiled. He was a week from finishing one of their records.
Now, he doesn't know when it will be done.
—Enion Pelta, 1930s-era wedding dress.
For Pelta, getting wedding rings was easy, and so was arranging the entertainment for the reception. The shopping for her dress, however, wasn't.
She didn't often go shopping with her mother, an academic who taught at the University of California, Berkeley, so when they went hunting through San Francisco thrift stores for her wedding dress, it was an extra-special occasion.
"We never did the mother-daughter bonding thing," she said. They were always having "intellectual discussions" instead.
She had planned to wear the lacey dress from the 1930s again to renew her vows with her husband of nine years.
The white antique was now beneath a muddy, newly-formed river in Lyons.
—Carmel Ross, kiln.
Ross tried to dig her kiln out from where the flood lodged it beneath her mobile home in Lyons, but it was wedged too deeply.
She used the kiln in her raku beadwork, a type of Japanese pottery. Seeing it damaged, she was reminded of her youth in the 1950s, when she said her parents didn't agree with her pursuing a life in art.
"I wasn't brought up in an era that honored art or artists," she said, as she prepared to evacuate, her long gray hair swinging as she cleared space to tear out muddy carpet. Her home was littered with sheet music, spirituality books and gear from her days as a professional clown.
It's taken Ross a lifetime and a move to an artists' community to embrace the importance of her work. Now, the rebuilding begins.
— Glenn Scott, African violet.
For evacuees like Scott, the loss of a dearly held possession is not sudden, but in slow motion.
As Scott prepared to leave Lyons, he was wondering if his African violet would survive. It was a gift from his mother, who owned an African violet store like her mother before her, and spent her life cocooned in a world of flowers.
She died a couple of years ago, he said.
Scott is hoping the delicate, bluish-purple-flowered violet, a traditional mother's day present, will survive in his car in the weeks ahead. "I always killed them, and then she'd give me another one and I'd kill that one. But I've had this one for three years," he said.
He's not hopeful that it will survive, but he will try.
"It's the last one I have that she had," he said.

Ranking American Horror Story's Most Feminist Moments
Ryan Murphy loves women.
Let's quote one of the best lines from last night's tearjerker of an American Horror Story finale: "Don't you ever let a man tell you who you are or make you feel like you are less than he is." It comes from Jessica Lange, Ryan Murphy's muse and frequent mouthpiece for his feminist thoughts. That's right, feminist thoughts! Ryan Murphy has feminist thoughts! He told reporters last week that season three of American Horror Story would be "all about female power," hardly a surprise since his entire second season was a commentary on female sexual repression, male aggression, and the Catholic Church, which neatly combines the two. Murphy is obsessed with women — our history, our haters, the injustices done to us, our against-the-odds ambition. (He ended the season with a callback to the first episode, when Jude tells Lana: "The loneliness, the heartbreak, the sacrifice you'll face as a woman with a dream on her own ... ") He gets it. And so to celebrate a season well done, here are our favorite female power moments from season two.
Feminist moment: Shelley, Briarcliff's horniest patient, flips out over the word whore. Why was her husband allowed to sleep around without consequence, while her affair with a sailor got her committed to an insane asylum?
Feminist ranking: 7. Shelley is so sex-positive (masturbating since 5!); she doesn't appreciate double standards; and she knows how to work a sailor. But we worry she's selling herself short when she blows the orderlies.
Feminist moment: A priest asks Sister Jude to hand him a prayer book during an exorcism, then tells her to leave the room. It's "no place for a woman."
Feminist ranking: 5. Jude tells him, "I'm stronger than you think" — but then she leaves the room! More than words, Jude.
Feminist moment: Best line of the season, said by the Devil: "It drives you crazy, doesn't it? To be the smartest person in the room with no real power because of that smelly clam between your legs."
Feminist ranking: 8. It does drive us crazy, but we think our clam smells fine, thanks.
Feminist moment: Jude tells the guard that her "goose is cooked," she's going to get fired. He tells her that "men are never going to be okay with a woman taking charge."
Feminist ranking: 4. The guard gets it, but he is so defeatist. If he can't help the situation, he should at least do like the Devil and use dirty words.
Feminist moment: Sister Mary Eunice sings "You Don't Own Me" — at one point to a crucifix on her wall.
Feminist ranking: 10-plus. If you don't feel at least the urge to sing along with her, you are probably in a dependent relationship.
Feminist moment: Lana tries to give herself an abortion. She doesn't want to keep her Bloody Face baby.
Feminist ranking: 2. This gets you thinking about the most important feminist debate of the past 40 years, and how unfair it is that Lana has to resort to wire-hanger tactics. (Pro-choice!) But then she later decides to keep the baby because she's tired of "death." (Pro-life?) But then last night she shot and killed him. (Pro-choice!)
Feminist moment: Sister Jude tells Dr. Arden that she will "always win against the patriarchal male."
Feminist ranking: 6. Ask any gender studies major what word she used most often freshman year, and she'll tell you patriarchy. (Or norms.) But, again, more than words.
Feminist moment: Lana escapes Briarcliff with evidence that will put Bloody Face away. She gives him the finger while doing so.
Feminist ranking: 10. Some might say she seems too "angry." Give those people the finger.

【Solar panel and lanterns sponsored by Ricoh India in August 2010.】
Ricoh India has supported TERI's LaBL campaign (Lighting a Billion Lives) since June 2010 and has committed to sponsor 4 rural villages where there is no electrification.
Over 1.6 billion people in the world lack access to electricity; roughly 25% are in India alone. Inadequate lighting is not only an impediment to progress and development opportunities, but also has a direct impact on the health, environment, and safety of millions of people.
The LaBL Campaign aims to bring light into the lives of one billion rural people by replacing the kerosene and paraffin lanterns with solar lighting devices. This will facilitate education of children; provide better illumination and kerosene-smoke-free indoor environment for women to do household chores; and provide opportunities for livelihoods both at the individual level and at village level.
The Campaign also offers local and global environmental benefits. Each solar lantern in its useful life of 10 years displaces the use of about 500-600 litres of kerosene, thereby mitigating about 1.5 tones of CO2. Therefore it will help in reduction of 300 tones of CO2 with 200 lanterns in 10 years.
As a partner to TERI in this campaign Ricoh India has committed to sponsor 4 villages in FY 2010. It will benefit to approx. 200 families and 1000 individuals. Sponsorship of first village was completed in August 2010.

Monarchs blanked by Bridgeport
November 17. 2012 10:27PM
Bridgeport goalie Anders Nilsson stopped all 25 shots he faced as the Sound Tigers blanked the Manchester Monarchs, 4-0, in American Hockey League action before 4,570 fans in Connecticut Saturday night.
The loss was the second in as many nights for Manchester which suffered its first regulation road loss of the season Friday, 3-2, against the Providence Bruins in Rhode Island.
The setback leaves the Monarchs (7-6-0-1) in second place in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division with 15 points, one behind the front-running Worcester Sharks which lost to the Connecticut Whale Saturday, 2-1.
Bridgeport, which outshot Manchester, 29-25, led by two goals entering the third period, and Nilsson denied Monarch wingers eight times in the third period to secure the shutout. During the 20-minute span, the Sound Tigers Matt Watkins scored two goals to salt the game away.
Nino Niederreiter opened the game's scoring for the Sound Tigers at 13:45 of the first period with his eighth goal of season, with assists going to David Ullstrom and Jordan Hill.
Jon Landry doubled the hosts' advantage when he pounded in a power play goal at 8:41 of the second.
Watkins second goal, the game's final, was also a power play tally.
The teams combined for 14 penalties in the physical contest. Both teams had five power play opportunities, and Bridgeport capitalized on two of them.
Monarchs goalie Martin Jones finished with 25 saves.
Tanner Pearson, Marc-Andre Cliche and Thomas Hickey each had three shots on goal.
Manchester continues its road trip Tuesday when it motors to Portland, Maine, for a game with its division rival at 7 p.m.

Older News » Learn to swimLast updated 5:58 PM on 30 November 2011
Royal Life Saving NSW has emphasised the importance of swimming and water safety education, saying 50,000 children are leaving primary school every year unable to swim.
The organisation says participation in swimming lessons has been in decline for the past 10 years and many Australian children are at risk of drowning.
Both Royal Life Saving and the NSW Government agency Sport and Recreation offer learn-to-swim lessons throughout the state under the Swim and Survive banner.
The Sport and Recreation program caters for children aged between 18 months and 12 years and provides instruction in water familiarisation through to stroke development.
Classes are held every weekday for eight or nine days.
Programs run between November and February each year and are taught by experienced, AUSTSWIM-qualified instructors.

'Blood Dragon' a blast of pure '80s mayhem
Video games came of age in the 1980s, a decade that was also the heyday of cheesy Hollywood action movies. Thirty years later, you don't have to look hard to see the influence of one medium on the other. The ultraviolent power fantasies that seem so corny today -- movies like "Rambo," "Commando" and "The Delta Force" -- pretty much provided the template for popular games like "Call of Duty" and "Gears of War."
"Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon" makes that connection more explicit. It's an affectionate tribute to a cinematic era in which one guy with a lot of guns could solve all the world's problems.
"Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon"★ ★ ★
Ubisoft, X360/PS3/PC, $15, far-cry.ubi.com/fc3blooddragon/
The musclehead here is Rex "Power" Colt, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier who's sent to a remote island to prevent a madman from building an unstoppable army. Rex is voiced by Michael Biehn, a veteran of genuine '80s classics like "The Terminator" and "Aliens," and his growly one-liners contribute as much to the atmosphere as the game's pulsing synth-heavy soundtrack.
The story has everything you could want from the genre, including a painfully awkward sex scene, a montage of Rex training and a flamboyantly over-the-top climax. The plot is laid out in pixelated, minimally animated cut scenes, although most of the action takes place in the fully up-to-date engine Ubisoft created for last year's "Far Cry 3."
You don't need that game to play "Blood Dragon." Instead, your $15 buys you a scaled-down version of "FC3" with a smaller map, fewer weapons and a streamlined leveling-up system. It takes just six hours or so to play through, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you felt "FC3" dragged on too long.
"Blood Dragon" is an intriguing experiment in downloadable content from a big publisher like Ubisoft. If you loved the parent game, you get a fresh new adventure using the same mechanics. If you didn't play "Far Cry 3," you get a solid sample for one-quarter of the price. Either way, it's hard to resist.
Here are a few more inexpensive, downloadable releases that evoke memories of gaming in the '80s:
"Guacamelee!" (Drinkbox Studios, PS3/Vita, $15, guacamelee.com/) combines the two-dimensional fisticuffs of, say, "Double Dragon" with the exploration of "Metroid." It's a fast-paced romp with gorgeous graphics drawn from Mexican mythology.
"Monaco: What's Yours is Mine" (Pocketwatch Games, Xbox/PC, $15, pocketwatchgames.com/Monaco/) takes the top-down perspective of early maze games like "Robotron: 2084" and applies it to a nerve-racking heist caper. You can play solo, but it's much livelier when you cooperate online with three other thieves.
"Thomas Was Alone" (Curve Studios, PS3/Vita/PC/Mac, $10, thomaswasalone.com/) boils down the running-and-jumping platform game to simple visuals that could have worked on an Atari 2600. Its heroes are simply colored rectangles -- but as the game proceeds, they develop distinctive, endearing personalities.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Where is the medical pre-exam and follow-up? If the healing is real, wouldn't they want to be able to present that evidence of god's power?
As a matter of fact, for those of you like research, you can't find a SINGLE instance in the New Testament (I know you don't read it, but you can Google it) where ANY New Testament believers are directed to ASK GOD to heal anyone. gasp. shock.…It isn't scriptural nor Christian, to pray and ASK God to heal, you can't find any examples of it in the New Testament. Healing lies on shoulders of the believer, not God.
So, to sum up my points.Atheist: Well, let's pray and ask God to heal this amputeeChristian: Why don't we heal him, that's what Jesus told us to do, not just pray for him.Atheist: You don't want to pray for God to heal this amputee?…I don't know, I thought the above discourse sounded funny in my head, but you get the point.
Wow, the straw man argument exists in force on this site, typical, because the site is based on a single premise straw man argument, you simply twist a person's position and run with it, but that's cool.
Let's just go back to logic. If I have a house with 30 rooms and I give 1 room to my kids and tell them, hey this is your room, you can do what you want in this room, no adults allowed. If my kids said, "Dad, come here and move this pencil from the table to the couch for me" Well, I have a problem, I'm not a kid. Do I become a liar to move the pencil? Well, if I could become a kid I could move the pencil OR if by some power, I could operate in my kids body, I could then move the pencil. Either way, it isn't my room. I don't just do whatever I want in the room, if I am an honest person.
JESUS healed them all (over a dozen different occasions) His disciples HEALED. Peter, Paul, Philip, etc they ALL HEALED, as men. THEY never asked GOD to heal, they (men) healed them. You don't ASK GOD to do something he has already given you the power to do. If the Iraqi war veteran amputee doesn't get healed, the fault actually lies with the person not with God.
Follow me for a split second.
God lives in another dimension, we live in the physical dimension, for God to operate in the Physical dimension he needs us. God operates in this physical dimension by COOPERATING with a person in the physical realm that KNOWS HOW to use HIS POWER to get things done.
If you truly wanted (which apparently you don't) to see the Iraqi war veteran amputee healed, YOU would have to COOPERATE with God and get the same wisdom and power operating in JESUS operating in you to see that miracle accomplished.
You don't ASK GOD to do something he has already given you the power to do. If the Iraqi war veteran amputee doesn't get healed, the fault actually lies with the person not with God.
Follow me for a split second. God lives in another dimension, we live in the physical dimension, for God to operate in the Physical dimension he needs us. God operates in this physical dimension by COOPERATING with a person in the physical realm that KNOWS HOW to use HIS POWER to get things done.
As far as God being different in the New vs OLD Testament, that is another topic, you don't even have a basic understanding of who God is, so I can't digress, but I will say this, if you have seen HOW Jesus operates, you have actually seen the God of the Old Testament.
Wow, o.k. The replies are all over the place and on different topics, but let me attempt to stay on point.
I see I'm going to have to be here for a while.
First, there are specific reasons why the "Iraqi war veteran amputee" question is a straw man argument.
Foremost, for the sake of time, just Google "Straw Man Argument" so we can get on the same page.
So let me begin with some general points first about God. God exists in another dimension,
I call spirit. Man exists in another dimension, I call physical.
Man is a trans-dimensional being, not to be confused with trans-gender (sorry, thought that was funny as well). So here is a general timeline of events. God creates the physical universe, let's say, 15 billion years ago, then forms a planet called earth, for giggles, 4.5 billion years ago, then creates man say, 70 thousand years ago. (Now this isn't an attack on the evolution fallacy, this is just so you can understand the "room in the house" from my earlier post.)
If you have followed this narrative (even if you don't believe it) then we have an entire dimension for physical beings, NOT for spiritual beings and man being the ONLY hybrid creature. (100% Physical AND 100% SPIRITUAL)
This being, man, must learn to operate in the physical by accepting input from another dimension for spiritual power to be released. If man is ignorant of the spirit dimension, he is "stuck" so to speak, with only "physical dimension" power. I just realized I had to say all this so you can get a perspective on HOW the "Iraqi war veteran amputee" is going to be healed.
2000 years ago, this "Trojan war veteran amputee" (Yes, there is some attempt at humor there) would have been healed by Jesus or one of his disciples, not by praying and asking God. To the degree these disciples had GOD already in them and to the degree they knew HOW to take instructions from God and release this healing power. Once again 2000 years ago, they were not creating a "million Israeli - Arab prayer chain" and begging Yahweh to do anything. My point is they didn't use that approach 2000 years ago, so a person is in error to use that approach now. That "prayer chain failure that proves God doesn't exist" is central to this website.
Many well-meaning, but ignorant Christians use that process and fail. Jesus' disciples are commanded that if they see the problem (the Iraqi war veteran amputee) AND IF the person is willing to receive; they (the disciple) heal them according to the power of God inside them already. So Jesus, Paul, Peter, Ananias, etc., and other New Testament believers succeeded where you, could fail miserably, and it isn't God to blame.
You know, God already came to the physical realm, "moved the pencil" and then left. If he wants to move more pencils, He inhabits the BODY of a physical man (via explicit permission) , then gives the man both wisdom and the power, "to move the pencil" You are a trans-dimensional being, why don't you ask God for a trip to the spirit realm for a God 101 class. Zing.
Case in point, when Jesus walked this earth, on over dozen occasions HE HEALED THEM ALL, not God. I am not arguing against his deity, but for a very specific reason, Jesus (God) came as a MAN using the power of God inherent in men

New York, Jan 11 (IANS) Lady Gaga is not just an entertainer; she not only helps her followers embrace differences but also lets them bind emotionally too.
According to a fascinating study, researchers at University of Missouri in the US have found that online social media gives users an outlet to forget differences and provide emotional support to others.
To understand this online celebrity-fan relationship, they chose singer Lady Gaga who enjoys more than 40 million twitter followers.
"In our study of Lady Gaga followers, we found that she uses social media not for promotion but rather as a communication tool with her fans," said Melissa Click, assistant professor of communication at University of Missouri's college of arts and science.
"She shares personal and 'insider' information through social media and develops feelings of intimacy with her followers. By revealing her embrace of her own differences and unusual behaviours, Lady Gaga allows her followers to embrace their own differences," Click noted.
Researchers interviewed several fans who identified themselves as gay, had eating disorders and considered themselves different or who were taunted relentlessly.
For them, Gaga instilled strength in them through her acceptance of their differences, which gave them a reason to live, said the study published in the journal "Popular Music and Society".
In addition, the social support network Lady Gaga fosters encourages her followers to be more charitable to each other, Click said.
"We found that participants' perceived relationships with Gaga affected how close they felt to her. They felt that she is the voice who celebrates their differences instead of mocking them, and this was a very positive thing," Click added.
Researchers used skype and google chat to communicate with Gaga followers from the US, Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa.
They asked the fans how social media impacted their interest in and relationship to Gaga. Researchers also asked interviewees about their feelings toward the singer's social activism.
"We are now working on a second research that examines Gaga's political activism and how she encourages her facebook and twitter followers to be more active in the political system," said Click.

You need to know that appetite spurts are a common, normal part of breastfeeding-they represent the law of supply and demand in action. If your baby suddenly is hungry more often, you just nurse more often to readjust your milk supply to your baby's demand for food. Instead of being caught off guard by these inevitable frequency days, expect them to happen periodically and be prepared to cut back temporarily on your other activities and to increase your nursing to stimulate more milk production.
You may have to feed every two hours or so for a couple of days until your milk supply increases and your baby resumes his former schedule. We tend to talk about growth spurts as if the baby suddenly changed his rate of growth or his nutritional needs. In some cases, I suspect that a mother's change in activities may have decreased her milk supply from its previous level, leaving her baby hungry. No matter what has triggered an appetite spurt, your response is the same: stay home as much as you can with your baby for a few days, nurse as often as necessary, drink extra fluids, get extra rest, and don't let your confidence get shaken!

Loudon man charged with firing bullets into Concord home
March 18. 2013 10:10AM
CONCORD - A Loudon man is under arrest, accused of firing shots into a home on Longmeadow Drive in January.
Steven Maxfield, 18, of Route 129, was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with reckless conduct, placing another in danger, a Class B felony.
Police said the homeowner discovered bullet holes in his house Jan. 21 and called police, who discovered a total of five gunshot holes in the building. Some of the bullets had penetrated the interior of the home.
One of the residents recalled hearing what sounded like firecrackers outside about a week before the damage was discovered. An adult and teenager were home at that time. No one was injured in the incident.
Detectives, working with Loudon police, investigated the incident for about a month and on Friday obtained search warrants for Maxfield's residence and a second Loudon home. Police said they recovered evidence connected to the shooting in those searches.
Maxfield is being held on $50,000 cash bail pending arraignment Monday in 6th Circuit Court, Concord District Division.

NAPLES, Fla. -- Vice President Biden lit into Paul Ryan with a violent analogy during his campaign stop Thursday in Las Vegas.
"Ryan has written a book called 'The Young Guns' with two other members of the House ... Republican leaders in the House," the vice president said. "You had, unfortunately, the bullets are aimed at you."
The comment drew an immediate retort from the Romney campaign, which earlier in the day had lamented the "negative" tone in the closing weeks of the race.
Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck called Biden's "over-the-top" rhetoric "disappointing but not surprising."
"In the absence of a vision or plan to move the country forward, the vice president is left only with ugly political attacks beneath the dignity of the office he occupies," Buck said in a statement.
Critics pointed to Biden's assertion, "I always say what I mean," during the vice presidential debate as a backdrop to Thursday's attack.
Earlier in the day, Paul Ryan had blasted President Obama for trying to "disqualify his opponent with a sea of negativity," casting the attacks as a ploy to "distract" voters from learning about their actual agenda.
"President Obama is not telling you what his second term plan would be," Ryan told the crowd of over 2,000 people, gathered in the town square of Ocala, Fla. "He's not saying that he's offering anything new. All he's offering is four more years of the same."
Biden's comment marked an escalation in the rhetoric. Obama supporters -- as well as the president himself -- have also been tweaking Romney for his comment during Tuesday's debate that he sought out "binders full of women" candidates while filling out his cabinet as Massachusetts governor. In his first stop in Florida for a two-day swing, Ryan appeared to subtly rebut critics by fielding five of his six questions from women in the audience.
"The best way to help women, the best way to help people that are out of luck, the best way to help the 5.5 million people who the government doesn't even measure in unemployment statistics because they just stopped trying for work, the best way to help the 23 million people struggling to find a job is to get this economy growing," Ryan said.
Stoppping by a fundraiser in Naples, which raised $1.2 million dollars, Paul Ryan warned the crowd the Democratic ticket has gotten "even more desperate" because the polls are "going in the wrong direction for them."
"Now it's a war on women, tomorrow it's going to be a war on left-landed Irishmen or something like that," Ryan joked, noting he's "right-handed by the way."
He continued, "They're trying to appeal to people's sense of envy, anxiety, and fear. Hope and change has become attack and blame. We're not going to fall for it. I don't think the country is going to fall for it."

NBC Would Like a Roseanne Barr Sitcom, Please
She signed a new development deal.
Roseanne Barr is taking another swing at developing an NBC sitcom. According to THR, she and producing partner Steven Greener have signed a deal to have Barr create and star in a new comedy. Déjà vu: Barr developed an NBC sitcom last pilot season that would have reunited her with John Goodman. Alas, Downwardly Mobile didn't make it past the pilot stage, but perhaps everyone will fare better this time. For old time's sake, here is a clip from one of the best episodes of Roseanne. If you can hear the song "On the Road Again" without just subbing in "dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah road again" for the lyrics, it's only because you've never watched season four's "Kansas City, Here We Come."

Purdue extension Corner
Since joining Purdue Extension, I have heard many individuals talk about rain barrels. My first exposure to a rain barrel came during a site visit within the last month. On that visit, I began to understand what a rain barrel was and how an individual could really benefit from it.
A rain barrel is simply a barrel that is fed by a downspout. Often it will have a wire grate over the opening of the barrel to help keep unwanted items out of it. When you set a rain barrel system up, you will need to determine what section or sections of the roof drain into each downspout. These sections are called catchment areas. At the bottom part of the barrel, many individuals will elect to have a hose system available where they can drain or obtain water from the barrel.
It is estimated that one inch of rain falling on a 1,000 square foot catchment area, will provide up to 623 gallons of water. Thus, if the rain is falling at a rate of one inch per hour, you will obtain approximately 10 gallons per minute from that catchment area. If you only intend to fill a single 60 gallon barrel, that can be accomplished with as little as one-tenth of an inch of rain. However, some individuals decide to have two rain barrels. When doing this, they will use a hose system to attach the two barrels together and only have an opening for water to enter the system on the top of the first barrel with the downspout.
A number of the individuals who I know that have decided to start utilizing rain barrels are doing it as a way to water their gardens and landscape. By doing this, they are helping conserve the municipal water supplies in some communities and have lessened the dent in their wallet. If you use a well, you will find that it also helps conserve your well water. Homeowners with small garden plots, flower beds, and containers will find that a setup of one or two 60 gallon rain barrels is all that they need.
There are a few other advantages associated with rain barrels. For instance, municipal and well water supplies often contain chlorine and salts which can be harmful to plants found in your landscape, garden, and in your home. Rainwater is the softest natural occurring water available. It should contain almost no dissolved minerals, chlorine, salts, and have a pH around 7.0 (assuming nothing else is in the air).
If you are interested in having a rain barrel, you might check out your local garden supply store, go online to see where you can locate one, or look for the next time one of the local SWCD offices are selling them. Though, you might find that most rain barrels online cost from $60 to $150. If that price sounds too outrageous, you can look into making your own. The Marion County SWCD has a nice publication available on their website which explains more about rain barrels in general, what to look for when purchasing a rain barrel, and how to make your own. To find that publication, go to http://www.marionswcd.org/ and look at the Backyard Conservation links.
Seeing a rain barrel in operation can be pretty fascinating and exciting for a homeowner trying to conserve water. It is also a practical way that you can prevent your plants from being impacted by chlorine and salt found in other water supplies.
