Reading the original version of "Shadow War" reveals that Lofficier and/or her story editors actually added to the planned dialogue in certain places in order to make character plots and motivations a bit clearer, while also trimming a few superfluous scenes and gags in order to bring the script in under the 22-minute time limit. It's not hard to understand why the opening business with HD&L going gaga over Gyro's new camera was downplayed a bit; the gag with Mrs. Beakley was clever enough, but the "flashing" of Scrooge didn't really go anywhere and made little sense besides (why would an inventor, even one as... er... unpredictable as Gyro, create a flash camera that has the potential of bleaching colored objects? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of creating the camera in the first place?). Still, it wouldn't have hurt for HD&L to have used the camera once during the middle of the episode, just to remind the audience that it still existed, before bringing it (or should I say, them) during the final scene in the Money Bin. It's also too bad that no one thought to insert an "in-joke" reference linking HD&L's sudden camera-philia to their Unca Donald's newfound obsession with picture-taking (seen most memorably in "Three Ducks of the Condor").
Along with GeoX, I must confess to being underwhelmed at the ep's development of the shadows' relationship to the "real world" and the low level of plausibility of the evil shadow's "enslavement" scheme. The idea that "shadows must grab the shadows" of things in order to steal them was quite clever, and the scene involving Magica and Vacation van Honk was staged in such a way that it was possible to accept that Magica's shadow was grabbing the shadow of VVH's wallet rather than the wallet itself, but I can't for the life of me understand why the shadow would want the wallet in the first place. Was it planning to shadow-spend the penumbra of VVH's pelf at the local umbra-ella store? To say the least, this was a clumsy way of foreshadowing (hyuck) the shadow's ultimate turn to the dark(er) side.
Send in the Clones" and the later "Raiders of the Lost Harp" marry Magica's personality to far stronger plots and wind up as classics. Here, by contrast, "the saucy sorceress" carries a less successful storyline across the finish line.
(GeoX) We learn that Ratface's new name is "Poe," which would be more apropos if we hadn't learned in "Send in the Clones" that he's not a raven by birth, but rather Magica's transformed brother. Unless the writers have forgotten about that detail. Who knows.
I think that Lofficier was aware of it, as suggested by this passage from the original script:
MAGICA (VO-CONT) Poe, vake up! Come here!
Mr. Poe opens an eye, shakes himself, and flies next to the closet.
MR. POE Squawk? What? Squawk?
MAGICA (VO) Go und get help! Quack, er, Quick! Remember, you don't vant to spend your life es bird, no?
MR. POE (vigorously) Squawk! Nevermore!
MAGICA (VO) So, go! Find zomeone to get me out ov here!
The specific reference to the scenario of "Send in the Clones" was omitted in the final script. Too bad.
(GeoX) Customs officer to Magica: "Lizard tails, bat shrieks, pickled worms--no fruit! All seems to be in order!"
I can easily imagine Carl Barks using a gag like this in one of his Magica stories. It has a certain satirical sting that he would appreciate. Of course, 9/11 has probably rendered this gag somewhat less amusing.
(Greg) So we head to the Money Bin as Scrooge talks about spring cleaning to start the day off right. I guess he had to rehire everyone after the Armstrong incident two rants ago; so it makes perfect sense. And he is doing more inside the vault as he has the magnifying glass looking for dust and debris. I only have one thing to say about this: Who in the hell gave him that apron he is wearing? That I think drops Scrooge McDuck down a notch on the dignity scale in my view.
In Lofficier's original script, Scrooge was also supposed to wear an "Aunt Jemima" kerchief on his head. How many "dignity notches" would that cost him?
That would be a problem, wouldn't it? It's also rather surprising that Scrooge didn't keep Old #1 in the Bin for safety's sake before he went out to do battle with the shadows. Not until "Dime Enough for Luck" will we see Old #1 stored in the Bin (and with elaborate defenses, to boot). Even that arrangement will prove temporary, as the dime will be right back in McDuck Mansion in "Once Upon a Dime."
(Greg) [The evil shadow] gets blown out of existence and I just realized something: If Scrooge hasn't told the nephews to return the camera to Gyro; they could have poof[ed] her out of existence without Magica's help or the dime. So this was awfully contrived after all.
This might still make sense if you accept that Old #1 wasn't strong enough to completely destroy the evil shadow, but was strong enough to weaken it to the point where the cameras could finish the job.
Next: Episode 36, "Catch as Cash Can, Part One: A Drain on the Economy."

'Nymphomaniac' film is banned in Turkey
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's film board has banned the screening of director Lars von Trier's movie "Nymphomaniac Volume 1" at cinemas in the country because of the film's sex scenes.
Cem Erkul, who heads the Cinema General Directorate, said Wednesday the eight-member board voted 6-2 this week that the film is "pushing the boundaries of porn" and unfit for public viewing.
The film was due to be released this month.
Erkul said it decided against censoring the sex scenes from the movie because there were too many to cut out.
Its distributor can appeal the ruling in court, but the decision does not affect the film's screening at the Istanbul Film Festival next month.
The two-part film is a drama about a woman's erotic journey from birth to the age of 50.

Comments: Louis Hippolyte Joutel (Nee: ) | New York City NY United States | 1901-1920 | Comments: This photo of Louis H. Joutel appears in the Journal of the New York Entomological Society, vol.XXIV, no.4, Dec. 1916, plate12. There is a four page obit of him there. Louis was born 19 August 1858 to a family of French descent in an area called "French Woods" a short distance north of the Delaware River in Delaware County, NY. Later his family moved to New York City where he attended school. For thirty-five years he lived in a house at 164 East 117th street. He took a keen interest in gardening and later became a natural history artist. He was the recording secretary to the New York Entomological Society from 1894 to 1897 and treasurer from 1898 to 1903. In 1903 he suffered from pneumonia. Later he developed consumption (tuberculosis). He died 6 September 1916 and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. That is all the information I have. I am not researching this line, just saw the photo and thought I'd post it.

Hinduism, major world religion originating on the Indian subcontinent and comprising several and varied systems of philosophy, belief, and ritual. Although the name Hinduism is relatively new, having been coined by British writers in the first decades of the 19th century, it refers to a rich cumulative tradition of texts and practices, some of which date to the 2nd millennium bce or possibly earlier. If the Indus valley civilization (3rd–2nd millennium bce) was the earliest source of these traditions, as some scholars hold, then Hinduism is the oldest living religion on Earth. Its many sacred texts in Sanskrit and vernacular languages served as a vehicle for spreading the religion to other parts of the world, though ritual and the visual and performing arts also played a significant role in its transmission. From about the 4th century ce, Hinduism had a dominant presence in Southeast Asia, one that would last for more than 1,000 years.
In the early 21st century, Hinduism had nearly one billion adherents worldwide and was the religion of about 80 percent of India's population. Despite its global presence, however, it is best understood through its many distinctive regional manifestations.
The term Hinduism
The term Hinduism became familiar as a designator of religious ideas and practices distinctive to India with the publication of books such as Hinduism (1877) by Sir Monier Monier-Williams, the notable Oxford scholar and author of an influential Sanskrit dictionary. Initially it was an outsiders' term, building on centuries-old usages of the word Hindu. Early travelers to the Indus valley, beginning with the Greeks and Persians, spoke of its inhabitants as "Hindu" (Greek: 'indoi), and, in the 16th century, residents of India themselves began very slowly to employ the term to distinguish themselves from the Turks. Gradually the distinction became primarily religious rather than ethnic, geographic, or cultural.
Since the late 19th century, Hindus have reacted to the term Hinduism in several ways. Some have rejected it in favour of indigenous formulations. Others have preferred "Vedic religion," using the term Vedic to refer not only to the ancient religious texts known as the Vedas but also to a fluid corpus of sacred works in multiple languages and an orthoprax (traditionally sanctioned) way of life. Still others have chosen to call the religion sanatana dharma ("eternal law"), a formulation made popular in the 19th century and emphasizing the timeless elements of the tradition that are perceived to transcend local interpretations and practice. Finally, others, perhaps the majority, have simply accepted the term Hinduism or its analogues, especially hindu dharma (Hindu moral and religious law), in various Indic languages.
Since the early 20th century, textbooks on Hinduism have been written by Hindus themselves, often under the rubric of sanatana dharma. These efforts at self-explanation add a new layer to an elaborate tradition of explaining practice and doctrine that dates to the 1st millennium bce. The roots of Hinduism can be traced back much farther—both textually, to the schools of commentary and debate preserved in epic and Vedic writings from the 2nd millennium bce, and visually, through artistic representations of yakshas (luminous spirits associated with specific locales and natural phenomena) and nagas (cobralike divinities), which were worshipped from about 400 bce. The roots of the tradition are also sometimes traced back to the female terra-cotta figurines found ubiquitously in excavations of sites associated with the Indus valley civilization and sometimes interpreted as goddesses.
General nature of Hinduism
More strikingly than any other major religious community, Hindus accept—and indeed celebrate—the organic, multileveled, and sometimes pluralistic nature of their traditions. This expansiveness is made possible by the widely shared Hindu view that truth or reality cannot be encapsulated in any creedal formulation, a perspective expressed in the Hindu prayer "May good thoughts come to us from all sides." Thus, Hinduism maintains that truth must be sought in multiple sources, not dogmatically proclaimed.
Anyone's view of the truth—even that of a guru regarded as possessing superior authority—is fundamentally conditioned by the specifics of time, age, gender, state of consciousness, social and geographic location, and stage of attainment. These multiple perspectives enhance a broad view of religious truth rather than diminish it; hence, there is a strong tendency for contemporary Hindus to affirm that tolerance is the foremost religious virtue. On the other hand, even cosmopolitan Hindus living in a global environment recognize and value the fact that their religion has developed in the specific context of the Indian subcontinent. Such a tension between universalist and particularist impulses has long animated the Hindu tradition. When Hindus speak of their religious identity as sanatana dharma, they emphasize its continuous, seemingly eternal (sanatana) existence and the fact that it describes a web of customs, obligations, traditions, and ideals (dharma) that far exceeds the Western tendency to think of religion primarily as a system of beliefs. A common way in which English-speaking Hindus often distance themselves from that frame of mind is to insist that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life.
The five tensile strands
Across the sweep of Indian religious history, at least five elements have given shape to the Hindu religious tradition: doctrine, practice, society, story, and devotion. These five elements, to adopt a typical Hindu metaphor, are understood as relating to one another as strands in an elaborate braid. Moreover, each strand develops out of a history of conversation, elaboration, and challenge. Hence, in looking for what makes the tradition cohere, it is sometimes better to locate central points of tension than to expect clear agreements on Hindu thought and practice.
The first of the five strands of Hinduism is doctrine, as expressed in a vast textual tradition anchored to the Veda ("Knowledge"), the oldest core of Hindu religious utterance, and organized through the centuries primarily by members of the learned Brahman class. Here several characteristic tensions appear. One concerns the relationship between the divine and the world. Another tension concerns the disparity between the world-preserving ideal of dharma and that of moksha (release from an inherently flawed world). A third tension exists between individual destiny, as shaped by karma (the influence of one's actions on one's present and future lives), and the individual's deep bonds to family, society, and the divinities associated with these concepts.

News for Wednesday 022713
By Dave Graichen
State Police say there are more explosives at Camp Minden than originally estimated. Spokesperson Matt Harris says they originally estimated there were 6 million pounds of an improperly stored military propellant, but now they believe it's closer to 10 million. He says authorities are still looking for space to house the remaining 3.5 million pounds of material that's left to be moved but it's been a slow process.
A week prior to the mandatory budget cuts, also called the "sequestration" was to take effect, The Department of Homeland Security released hundreds of illegal aliens from detention centers along the Gulf Coast--including here in Louisiana. A spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says he's uncertain how many were released in our state.
Senator Mary Landrieu has some harsh words for Bobby Jindal, accusing the Republican governor of obstructionism. The Democratic senator says Jindal's refusal to expand the state's Medicaid program is tied to his presidential ambitions, putting his potential political future ahead of the people of Louisiana. Jindal says he disagrees with the growth of the federal government health care program and states should be free to design health programs that suit their individual needs.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries say a Marksville man is behind bars for allegedly killing a Louisiana black bear. They say a lengthy investigation led detectives to 30-year-old Derek Sayer who was arrested for shooting and killing the bear on November 27th in Avoyelles Parish. Louisiana Black Bears have been on the Federal Threatened and Endangered Species list since 1992.
The Presidents of Louisiana's four public college systems want state lawmakers to approve legislation that would give colleges and universities more authority in setting their own tuition. Senate Education Chairman Conrad Appel says he'll introduce legislation that addresses funding for higher education, but he also wants to see schools doing a better job in offering degrees that will lead to better paying jobs, once the student graduates.
Students at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette and Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond will likely see their tuition rise starting this fall. The University of Louisiana Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a 10 percent tuition hike at all nine of its campuses. Before the increase can take effect, though it also has to be approved by the state Board of Regents higher education policy board.
Funeral services will be held today for Paul McIlhenny, the late chairman of Tabasco pepper sauce. McIlhenny was also an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, as he was active in coastal restoration efforts, helping to create the America's Wetland Foundation. McIhenny, who was the chief executive of Tabasco since 1988, died of an apparent heart attack on Saturday. He was 68
A Metairie lawmaker files legislation that would allow Louisiana residents to purchase guns that may one day be declared illegal by the federal government. Representative Joe Lopinto's bill would create intrastate gun trade where gun dealers and manufacturers can get licensed in Louisiana to sell guns within the state. Lopinto says his proposed bill, called the Louisiana Manufactured Firearms and Ammunitions Act, would allow for gun manufacturers to apply for a Louisiana license to make and sell guns within the state, even if they are prohibited by the federal government.
A Bossier City lawmaker says multiple solutions are in the works so that homeless shelters can accept donations of deer meat from hunters. State officials had to destroy over 14-hundred pounds of donated venison which upset Hunters for Hungry, who donated the food. Representative Jeff Thompson says the issue with the deer meat was over sanitary concerns. Thompson says the Department of Health and Hospitals agrees not to destroy any more deer meat until regulations are in place.
State Superintendent of Education John White said Tuesday Public school teachers will have a wide array of resources to aid in the launch of tougher academic standards that begin next year,
White also said the resources — called a Classroom Support Toolbox — were crafted by about 150 teachers rather than relying on directives from state education officials. The new academic rules are called common core standards. Louisiana and 44 other states have adopted the guidelines, which are aimed at making students more competitive worldwide and easier state-to-state comparisons on student achievement. The new standards take effect for the 2014-15 school year.
An art deco landmark in downtown Baton Rouge, a slice of a St. Tammany Parish psychiatric hospital campus and prime property near the Louisiana Capitol need to be sold within the next year to make Gov. Bobby Jindal's budget balance. Jindal proposes unloading six tracts of state property around south Louisiana to drum up $47 million, money that he's using to help pay for public colleges in his budget proposal for the 2013-14 fiscal year that starts July 1. None of the deals are done, and lawmakers have been reticent about making some of the sales, which need legislative approval before "for sale" signs can be planted on the sites.
LSU and a state agency paid former coastal researcher Ivor van Heerden $435,000 to settle court claims that his LSU career was destroyed because he alleged engineering mistakes allowed New Orleans to flood during Hurricane Katrina. In his three-year-old lawsuit in Baton Rouge federal court, Van Heerden alleged that some university officials systematically ended his ability to perform hurricane research and eventually refused to renew his contract because they feared he would cost the school federal funds.
A Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputy is under arrest for allegedly stealing stuff from the evidence locker. 54-year-old George Hernandez is accused of felony systematic theft. Just WHAT he reportedly took is being kept under wraps for now.
The LSU men's basketball team can get above the 500 mark in SEC play with a win tonight at home over Arkansas. The Tigers 5-and-2 in the month of February after beating Alabama in triple overtime last Saturday. You can hear the game tonight beginning at 6:30 on 970 KSYL.
After a big first half, Williams scored 11 of his 33 points in the final 1 minute, 24 seconds, and the Nets held on for a 101-97 victory against a furious comeback by the Hornets. The Hornets play at the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, the last game of their four meetings this season. Airtime 7pm on espn 1410am
The lSU tiger baseball team had no problem squashing UL Lafayette last night 11 to 2. They'll play brown Friday night at the box.

The false reality is exposed here. Turn off your cognitive dissonace before reading. If you believe ANYTHING, prepare to be insulted. FEAR NOTHING. Love really is the answer.
Thursday, July 22, 2010
What's next for you and I?
It's because you are one of those that understand there is something rotten in the world.
Your sense of uneasiness drives your questing nature to seek out information, to gain understanding.
Those that rule over us know who you are.
Give them a wave.
Extend that digit or those two digits in defiance.
It will not be long before they decide to come and get us all.
So show them you fear nothing.
This thing that is rotten in the world, this vile cancer, has been around a long time and is spreading at great speed now through the body that is humanity.
Weakening it, causing it pain, making it afraid, numbing its senses.
Everyone is infected.
Countless are carriers, helping the spread, weakening the body-humanity's natural immune responses to this rotten growth, helping it on its way.
We each of us have a dark smudge, greater or smaller, controlled or out of control.
It can be cured.
When you do your duty and speak to those badly infected, offer them the medicament that is truth, that is when their true outer selves are most visible, that is when their eyes cease to be the mirrors of their souls and instead become the mirrored sunglasses of the truly lost, reflecting back your love and concern twisted into hatred and anger and ridicule.
When they come for you, these zombies, and come they will, it will be with the approval of those we pay to be in uniform and protect us all.
Or led by them.
The future was glimpsed at G20 in Toronto. The zombie-police in their space-bully suits squashing you and me, even if we weren't there. Modern day SS thugs, believing right to be on their side, twisting justice into "law", trampling under their marching boots the freedoms humanity holds dear, sending a message to the rest of the herd: resistance is useless.
In the full light of day and under the watching eyes of a thousand lenses they dared to trample, knew that the herd would do nothing, inwardly glorying that they had joined the winning side and the rewards, the opportunity to bully and beat and maybe soon murder would be theirs.
They are selected carefully these people.
Sometimes a real human being will get through and enter the ranks, believing in the old ideas of protecting the people that pay their wages from wrongdoing and evil. They are few, these good souls, but they are one hope for us.
The fifth column.
Proper police.
Blessings and courage be with them.
We need you now, friends.
The zombie-police, as ever throughout history in one snazzy uniform or another, are the fists and boots of the dystopic reality. They are the colour black and the texture of fear on the palette of the artists that are painting our reality and their brush strokes are about to get stronger, less inhibited.
Shame on them.
We will in due course forgive them, for they know not what they do.
It takes years to turn the insecure and cowardly bully that's selected into the ruthless bullying machine that acts without conscience, believing the uniform will protect him or her even when they step over the ever more distant line.
Usually, it does.
They socialise with one another, are made to feel comradeship and loyalty to one another, see themselves as "us" and the rest of humanity as "them". They are selected for this propensity, then trained and schooled in the peculiar psychosis that creates this angry and violent mob of oppression.
If you are a seeker for the truth then those that rule us are about to make you, in the eyes of the law and of the zombie herd, into something to be hated, to be vilified, to be rounded up and disposed of as vermin.
They have always done this, so why should this time be different?
In the 1930's the Bush-sponsored Nazis rounded up the communist, the dissenting professor, the Gypsy, the homosexual, the jew, the truthful journalist, anyone who protested however quietly.
On every block their Gauleiters took names, collected evidence of dissent or "deviant" behaviour.
They don't need Gauleiters now.
The internet is collecting all the evidence they need.
What you think of as private has been known to them for years.
You cannot hide. You cannot run.
So give them the finger and stand proud.
These are the reasons we must stand together, must know our number, must grow our number in one place. We need to understand we have a critical mass and exercise the strength that gives us.
If this cannot be achieved then you and I are lost, dear friend, and the world is lost with us.
We are well into the endgame now.
Those that rule over us are pressing ahead with their evil at an ever increasing rate, assailing humanity on every front, identifying those amongst the herd with a genetic disposition to resist, with a preference for truth over lies, people who have slipped through the control grid or are immune to their cankerous rot.
They badly want to cull the herd of that gene pool.
They want to get us before we wake up to our number and power and sweep them into the dustbin of history for all time.
They want us dead.
They have used their control of the internet to find us and flush us out.
They have used their long seeded disinformation agents to cast the lures and draw us into their nets. With their truths mixed with fantasies, their faux love mixed with finger pointing and hate mongering they are drawing us in, counting us up, finding where we live whilst at the same time using their information overload to weaken and divide our resolve.
Many are caught in these particular webs.
They can be likened to the early christians, walking heads held high through the gates that led not to heaven but to hatred, intolerance, genocide, torture, millennia of wickedness in god's name.
People still walk through those gates, joining one religion or another.
If there is a god, how it must weep at the horror committed by good people in its name.
The coming interesting times. May you live through them.
Those that govern humanity understand that they can get away with anything right now. The success of their centuries long strategy is now well proven to them. Even the biggest lies remain believed in.
They've just robbed every human being on the planet with their bank heist, condoned and orchestrated by nearly every puppet government, forcing humanity into perpetual tax slavery. They are picking everyone's pockets, every day, and the zombie herd are taking it.
With their fake but deadly war on "terror" they have robbed us all of freedoms we took centuries to win, caused millions to draw up lines that separate humanity based upon the old lies of religion. They are in the swing of murdering right now, soon to get more vigorous, soon to bring ever increasing numbers into their wars.
They've done it so often in the past, what makes you think they won't do it again?
Do you believe humanity to be better educated, more aware, stronger in the face of totalitarianism, freer of mind and spirit, less gullible, possessed of a freer media than they were in the last century, when countless millions went gladly and grimly off to murder countless millions of other human beings?
Of course you don't.
You understand the complexity of the control matrix that for a century at least has worked scientifically to prevent that very condition.
So confident are they, and so possessed of an urgency to get the job finished that we will see an acceleration of the experiment. Boosted by their successes so far, by the enormous instrument of mind control they have built, by this many headed hydra they have conjured from the ingenuity of those they seek to oppress, they will seek now to batter and beat the cornered beast that is humanity into the waiting cages, there to be factory farmed for the rest of time.
This complex system of control will reach its zenith of wickedness within the next couple of years. It has to. If more and more zombies realise what's going on and cast the blinkers from their eyes, or if those mavericks that already do see have the sense and guts to stand together then the evil itself becomes threatened, its servants like monkeys will scatter as the tree begins to fall, the change will finally come.
Who can say what their next move will be?
They have such a powerful and diverse arsenal.
Will it be a pandemic? Another, bigger war, mushrooming millions into oblivion? A nicely placed false flag terror event placed squarely at your door and mine, causing the zombies to point at you in the street, angrily beat you and spit at you as the police drag you away?
Look at the films of the Nazi era, see how the sheep can be moulded into violent haters, struggle with each other to be the one that lands the blow on the defiled, the beaten and cowed, the outsider, the non-believer.
We understand the checkmate they are driving towards, the fear of light that drives them, the final loss they face, the emergence of the beauty of humanity they so despise. We understand we are in their way.
So we are probably their next move.
Dealing with us.

I will stand with you in defiance of tyranny. Realize that you will not stand alone. Many people have awakened and multitudes more are almost awake. As a personal example, ALL of my close friends are completely awake. Many, many more of the people I associate with know that something is seriously wrong and are distrustful of government. They see the strings that control the system, but they haven't figured out who the puppet master is yet. There are a LOT of people in this category. For every one of us, there are ten of them. I think these people will stand with us. They don't need to have every piece of the puzzle to know that they are losing their freedom. When the hammer drops, when the tyranny becomes more blatant, when the lies become obvious - these people will stand with us. They will not willingly participate in the system any longer. This gives me hope.

I have some questions about Gov. Shumlin's recent cessation of universal single-payer tax-supported health care for Vermont.
Was there a coalition of conservative Democratic and Republican legislators who threatened to vote for the Republican candidate for governor if Shumlin carried out his plan to implement Act 48?

Gov. Shumlin's decision to suspend moving forward on the financing package for single payer in the coming legislative session does not mean that the dream of health care as a public good in Vermont is dead. At his press conference announcing his decision to not pursue single-payer financing in 2015, the governor stated that "now is not the right time." But he also made clear that Vermonters must not abandon the goal of universal publicly financed health care stated in Act 48.
Dear Legislators,
Consider the possibility that Mr. Shumlin should have had some knowledge prior to his announcement that the single-payer program would be too expensive. After all, he was two years in arrears in reporting to you, the Vermont legislator.
As so often happens with liberal fantasies of a welfare state utopia, the balloon of single payer was pricked by the pin of economic reality.
C.W. Cobb
Gov. Shumlin announced last Wednesday that "it is not the right time" to introduce a single-payer health care system in Vermont. He said he would not propose such a plan to the Legislature in 2015.
A version of a financing plan for single-payer that was leaked to the press earlier this month received a strongly negative reaction, so the governor's decision to abandon further action is not a surprise.
On Wednesday, Gov. Peter Shumlin did what leaders are supposed to do: he led. He made the tough decision to nix the push to a statewide single-payer health care system because the financial impact was too great a risk to the state's economy, at this time, and would put too great a burden on individuals and businesses.
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin on Wednesday put the brakes on the state's multi-year quest to convert to a universal, single-payer health care system, saying the cost and financing scheme of such a plan would be "detrimental to Vermonters, employers and the state's economy overall."
Recent letters and news stories have expressed the fear that a Vermont based single-payer system would be a threat to Medicare. This is simply untrue and here is why. The law that set Vermont on the path to single payer specifies on its very first page that Green Mountain Care will cover all Vermonters "regardless of income, assets, health status, or availability of other health coverage." Also, federal law does not allow for any state to take away Medicare or change Medicare benefits for seniors.
I am, by any contemporary definition, a political liberal. No other approach seems to me both practical and morally justifiable.
But I've got enough journalistic skepticism to know that not all the liberal truths are really true. And not seeing the truth, in all its nuances, can be dangerous for any political philosophy. (See pre-World War II isolationism; or "We can bring democracy to the Mideast by invading Iraq.")
This week's writer is Peter Sterling, director of Vermont Leads, a nonprofit organization working to educate the public about the advantages of implementing a publicly funded, universal access health care system in Vermont.

The city of Steubenville in eastern Ohio — best known for being Dean Martin's hometown and the home of Franciscan University — has become one of the most recent victims of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) after the Wisconsin-based atheist organization demanded that the community remove a religious symbol from its official logo. The godless group intruded in the city's business when a local resident supposedly complained about the logo, which had been unveiled by the city in 2011. The logo, which was designed by local businessman Mark Nelson, depicts a silhouette of the city's downtown, highlighting such landmarks as historic Fort Steuben, the Veterans' Memorial Bridge, and Franciscan University's Christ the King Chapel.
It was the chapel, topped by its recognizable cross, that caught the immediate attention of FFRF, prompting the group to threaten the city with a lawsuit if its officials didn't knuckle under and remove the chapel and cross from the logo. FFRF's chief spokesman, Annie Laurie Gaylor, insisted that the cross in the logo is a symbol that "Steubenville is a theocracy and is a Christian city where non-Christians or nonbelievers are not favored citizens." Gaylor said that "the city may not depict the university chapel and cross because to do so places the city's imprimatur behind Christianity."
In May FFRF attorney Patrick Elliott sent a letter to Steubenville Mayor Domenick Mucci claiming that the cross and chapel on the logo somehow made it unconstitutional, and warning him and the city council that they must change the logo immediately.
It didn't take the city long to be intimidated into compliance. According to the Steubenville Herald-Star newspaper, the city's law director, Gary Repella "announced the decision following a 15-minute closed-door meeting with City Council members." Said Repella: "We will be approaching Mark Nelson of Nelson Fine Art and Gifts and asking him to redesign the city logo to remove the cross and silhouette of the Christ the King Chapel on the Franciscan University of Steubenville campus."
For his part, Nelson told the Herald-Star that he found it "very frustrating that one person or a small group can complain and ultimately change the city's logo." He noted that Los Angeles County found itself in a similar predicament in 2004 after the ACLU demanded that a cross be removed from its official seal. Strangely, unlike its demands to Steubenville, the FFRF didn't demand that the California county remove a Christian chapel from its seal, but only the cross. "We already prepared a new logo without the cross," Nelson said, "but I don't know why the Wisconsin organization objected to the silhouette of the Christ the King chapel. The Los Angeles county board of supervisors retained the Mission San Gabriel in its seal. The chapel is part of the Franciscan University of Steubenville campus."
He added that "what bothers me is this organization has used its interpretation of separation of church and state, that is not included in the Constitution, to bully the city into changing its logo. My family and I are proud to be here in Steubenville and to be part of the community. We are also proud to have a business in Steubenville."
Officials with Franciscan University responded in a similar manner to the FFRF's intrusion. "We find it particularly troubling that an out-of-town and out-of-touch group targeted the university for removal from the logo solely because of our religious identity," said Michael Hernon, the university's vice president of advancement. "For more than 65 years, Franciscan University of Steubenville has proudly served as an integral part of this community, and we were honored to have our chapel included in the new city of Steubenville logo."
Hernon said that as it was used in the city's logo, "the chapel image is not an endorsement of any one religion, or religion at all. It merely signifies one of the many treasures of Steubenville — along with Historic Fort Steuben, the Veterans Memorial Bridge and the downtown cityscape — that are well-known community landmarks."
He explained that the city included the chapel in the city's seal because it is the most recognizable representation of Franciscan University, which he said is a "world-renowned center of higher learning and one of the largest employers in the region." While the city offered to have the university represented on the redesigned logo with another building on campus, the university declined, said Hernon, because the chapel and its cross are the "centerpiece" of the university and are "at the heart of our Catholic educational mission." He pointed out that the chapel "is included in the university logo because it represents who we are. We are a faith-based organization and we are not ashamed of who we are."
Addressing the attack by the atheist organization, Hernon said that the U.S. Constitution guarantees "freedom of religion, not freedom from religion, as this Wisconsin group would like everyone to believe. They are the same group that wants to prohibit Nativity scenes from public squares. They certainly don't understand the values of our community."
Nonetheless, said the city's legal expert Gary Repella, redesigning the logo minus any reference to religious faith was easier and cheaper than going head-to-head in court with the FFRF. He said the city council decided that "the potential cost to our city taxpayers may be very expensive to try to win the case," and decided it wasn't worth the cost.

These are pictures from the powdered solid analysis. What you see are 11 of the 13 possibilities that I actually had around my house, even acetic acid (being a bread baker.) Sand (go figure) and sodium acetate were the only two I did not have.
The coolest reaction: vitamin C (acetic acid) turns iodine from brown to completely clear.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- There was a single-file line of Houston Texans players up the walkway between the MetLife Stadium field and the visitors' locker room, and it was backed up because everyone wanted to give Brian Cushing a handshake and a hug.
Cushing leaned on his crutches and greeted all of his victorious teammates in a scene far more somber than one for a team that had just extended its record to 5-0.
During a brief interview with USA TODAY Sports, Cushing wouldn't guess about the extent of the injury, but the Texans' faces indicated they were fearing the worst. And early Tuesday morning, The Bergen (NJ) Record reported it's a torn ACL for the former first-round pick and 2009 defensive rookie of the year.
MORE:Clay Matthews speaks out against Cushing's injury
"Hoping for the best right now," Cushing told USA TODAY Sports as he made his way out of the stadium, only a few miles from his hometown of Park Ridge, N.J. "Obviously, it could be everything with the knee or nothing in the knee. It's a knee injury, and we'll see (after tests Tuesday)."
Said coach Gary Kubiak: "I don't want to jump the gun here … but obviously we're very concerned."
The injury itself was enough to shake the Texans' spirits after their 23-17 victory over the New York Jets. Making matters worse for them, though, was how it happened -- on a cut block by Jets guard Matt Slauson, who went low on Cushing after the linebacker had initially made a move to avoid him while trying to track a run by Tim Tebow.
Though Cushing's teammates had yet to see the play, they were bothered by the descriptions they'd heard of Slauson diving for Cushing's legs on a play that was going the other way, a move that's technically legal but doesn't sit well with defensive players.
Cushing, who had a big brace on his left leg, was trying his best to take it in stride.
"I got cut. I got cut on a run play. It happens," Cushing said when asked if he was aware what had happened. "I was just keeping my head up. Whatever happens, happens. It's football. It's part of the game."
A part that made a few folks angry.
"Yeah, well, I would be too if it would've happened to someone else," Cushing said. "But it happened to me, and I've been on the other side of that, so I know how it goes."
Cushing's teammates weren't so understanding.
"I mean, they protect the offense. That's kind of what they do," said defensive end J.J. Watt, who had another monster game with a key sack in the fourth quarter, a tip that led to an interception and another batted ball to save a touchdown. "It's a tough situation. I mean, I understand. Football's a rough game, and I haven't seen the play so I can't comment on the play. But it's a tough game.
"Hopefully it was a legal play because you hate illegal plays, especially when players are injured. That's not what you want."
It apparently was a legal play. The question that's been asked in the past and will be asked moving forward, especially in light of Cushing's injury, is whether it should be legal. Slauson and Cushing were within 3 yards of the line of scrimmage, which is the designated area in which linemen can go low to block a player.
Though Slauson didn't break a written rule, he appears to have dealt a huge blow to the Texans' defense.
"That's a tough situation. That's our leader, that's our middle linebacker, that's our guy," said Watt, who continues to make an early push for defensive player of the year. "To see that is tough so we played the second half for 'Cush.' We won this game in Cush's home state."
Echoing the win-one-for-Cushing theme was outside linebacker Brooks Reed, who realized the severity of the situation as soon as Cushing was clutching his knee.
"I just saw him lying down. He's usually not lying down," Reed said, adding: "We know what he means to our team. That win is dedicated to him."
The Texans still have plenty of playmakers on defense, though they just lost a presence for which offenses much account.
"Oh man, it'll do a lot. A lot of changes will be made," safety Danieal Manning said. "Personnel-wise, guys will have to come in and step up. I believe some of our play calls will maybe adjust."
Perhaps that's the realization that contributed to that eerily quiet scene outside the Texans' locker room and inside as well.
"It was a little quiet," Reed said of Kubiak's postgame speech. "It was kind of weird."
Not as weird as it'll be in the Texans' defensive huddle without Cushing.

Zones allow you to limit their memory consumption. The usual way to configure this is with the zone parameter "capped-memory" and it's three sub-values "physical", "swap" and "locked". "Physical" corresponds to the resource control "zone.max-rss", which is actual main memory. "Swap" corresponds to "zone.max-swap", which is swapspace and "locked" corresponds to "zone.max-locked-memory", which is non-pageable memory, typically shared memory segments. Swap and locked memory are rather hard limits that can't be exceeded. RSS - physical memory, is not quite as hard, being enforced by rcapd. This daemon will try to page out all those memory pages that are beyond the allowed amount of memory and are least active. Depending on the activity of the processes in question, this is more or less successful, but will always result in paging activity. This will slow down the memory-hungry processes in that zone.If you change any of these values using zonecfg, these changes will only be in effect after a reboot of the zone. This is not as dynamic as one might be used to from the LDoms world. But it can be, as I'd like to show you in a small example:
Let's assume a little zone with a memory configuration like this:
root@benjaminchen:~# zonecfg -z orazone info capped-memory
physical: 512M
[swap: 256M]
[locked: 512M]
To change these values while the zone is in operation, you need to interact with two different sub-systems. For physical memory, we'll need to talk to rcapd. For swap and locked memory, we need prctl for the normal resource controls. So, if I wanted to double all three limits for my zone, I'd need these commands:
root@benjaminchen:~# prctl -n zone.max-swap -v 512m -r -i zone orazone
root@benjaminchen:~# prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory -v 1g -r -i zone orazone
root@benjaminchen:~# rcapadm -z orazone -m 1g
These new values will be effective immediately - for rcapd after the next reconfigure-interval. You can also change this interval with rcapadm. Note that these changes are not persistent - if you reboot your zone, it will fall back to whatever was configured with zonecfg. So to have both - persistent changes and immediate effect, you'll need to touch both tools.

The Winona State Warriors Men's Basketball team won their second NCAA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship today! Congratulations! Go WSU!
Tag basketball
This past Sunday issue of the Winona Post newspaper featured a story about the WSU men's basketball team. Also just last week, there was an announcement of Jonte Flowers and Jon Smith being named as 2008 Daktronics NCAA Division II North Central Region Co-Players of the Year. These two guys also volunteered for their photo to be taken for BBBS of Greater Winona – Bowl for Kid's Sake fundraiser promotional posters, which I also volunteered to shoot. The photo I took of Jonte and Jon was recently published in the Winona Post newspaper. Link to the story here.
The Winona State University men's basketball team won last night's semifinal game in the North Central Region tournament with an 80-67 victory over Nebraska-Omaha at McCown Gymnasium in Winona, MN. They are now headed to the North Central Region Championship game against Northern State on Tuesday at 7pm.

Imagine that DC had started building a cinematic universe in 2008, culminating with a mega-successful Justice League in 2012. In this alternate universe, where Marvel and DC changed places, what movies would DC be planning for 2014 and 2015?
Reading the interview with Kevin Feige earlier today, along with Wired's Adam Rogers' speculations about DC's failure to imitate Marvel's cinematic universe, we couldn't help imagining a world where everything was... opposite.
Like, say if 2008's Batman movie had ended with Amanda Waller (or Max Lord) talking to Bruce Wayne about the Justice League. And later that summer, a Superman film had come out, featuring a cameo where Bruce Wayne tells someone from the military he might be able to help with their Kryptonian problem.
And then two years later, another Batman movie includes more Justice League hints, plus an agent is sent to New Mexico to investigate an Amazon girdle that just appeared in the desert. Followed by Wonder Woman and Green Lantern films, and then Justice League, and a third Batman.
Do you think this alternate universe is even remotely plausible? And in that case, what films would DC be working on now? What would DC's equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man be? Who would be the equivalent of Dr. Strange and Black Panther that everybody would be speculating about?
Bonus question: What would be the DC equivalent of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show?

Plans made for Hillsboro car show
Staff writer
Some car show vehicles go from trailer to parking lot, never to be driven.
One past participant in the Route 56 Classic Cruisers car show put about $100,000 into his vehicle. He believed that earned him a first place victory. Taking the loss sourly, he has not been back to the Hillsboro show again.
"I don't mind that," Abrahams said.
Abrahams believes the Route 56 Car Show has developed a following over 15 years because of its simplicity. The participants are the judges — they are probably not going to check the nooks of the engine compartment for dust. They are also the type of people who drive their restored cars occasionally.
"I always thought that was the fun part," Abrahams said.
As president of the Route 56 Classic Cruisers Club, Abrahams has started working on organizing the car show on June 8. He has fliers planned that he will pass out at the Herington and Inman car shows. With ads in car magazines, many participants call Abrahams to sign up. The show, in Memorial Park in Hillsboro, averages about 50 participants each year.
The club will have its first meeting April 20.

2 - And then, it's regular now, a bunch of Muslims will bomb the Hindus and others. If anything says anything against religion then it is communal. The trick is old now.
1 - Problem will be when the reverse happens, when some saffron wallas start killing the Muslims and others. Then I will have too much job banning things and people on facebook.
2 - If we shut our eyes, then things will go away.
1 - Aur kya. Indian Mujahiddeen not come from Mars sir, I mean they are people, many Indian people.
Sir - So Indian Muslims are coming under the terrorist spell.
1 - Always Sir. But who cares about stopping them? If people are not interested then why should we?
2 - Yes Sir, why should we put ourself in a coal mine when all we will get is coal and no diamond?
1 - Unless coal gives us money Sir.
2 - Of course.
Sir - So naturally, people have to have the balls to identify that Muslims are falling under the spell, that if they are not participating, then many like Owaisi, are supporting terrorism in the name of religion.
1 - Wow Sir you are talking like someone smart.
2 - But such a thought is beneficial only for nation, not for pockets. And it is tough Sir.
1 - You know what is easy?
2 - Let us prey on Narendra Modi.
1 - Let us just bypass these blasts and soon public will forget it. Then let's quietly bring Modi into the picture again.
2 - If God is kind, then he will do or say something stupid and we will win again Sir.
1 - I am toh desperately hoping there is some blast in Ahmedabad so we can pinpoint him.
Sir - That will be awesome. But where is God kind on us?

The thing that I hate is that the chapter names are really hard to understand and have to do with money. Also, the book never says what Lawn Boy's name is. That really bothers me a lot. But what I do like is that he has a bunch of money and makes me realize that there's a bunch of ways to earn money. The other good thing is that the book isn't too long and it doesn't take a long time to read.
I would recommend this book to a kid in middle school. I know it doesn't have a lot of pages but I think they would understand better the chapter names and stuff about economics . Maybe adults would like to read this book. Also, people who read and liked Lawn Boy would like to read Lawn Boy Returns.

Thankfully no! Barrett stripped Bahaus back, toying with its modernist ethos, and producing what is undoubtedly one of his strongest collections yet (a tough accolade, give he's been on great form recently). The intention of the showcase was to go back to the aesthetics of Barrett's early work in the nineties, so minimalism and simplicity were central concepts
Neil Barrett was so good, so good. Military meets monochrome, uh perfection #mfw

Colorado State University
Renovations to the Colorado State University (CSU) student recreation center began last month. The first phase of construction, slated to be completed by January 2010, includes a new entrance and lobby for the rec center as well as the addition of a climbing wall, meeting rooms, massage rooms and court space. Funding for the project is part of a CSU campus bond that was secured in June 2008. Student programming and access to the rec center will continue during construction, school officials say.
University of Pittsburgh
The University of Pittsburgh recently reopened its historic University Club after a $20.2 million renovation. The club's building was originally built in 1923 and was updated to include a fitness facility, a restaurant, a library, and banquet and conference rooms for use by university faculty and staff.
The fitness facility has a full line of cardio equipment, including treadmills, upright and recumbent bikes and cross-training equipment. The club also was outfitted with resistance training equipment and will offer an array of fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates and a variety of cardio, resistance and cross-training exercise classes.
The university purchased the building in 2005 for $3.1 million and began renovations in December 2007.
Armand Tanny
Armand Tanny, a bodybuilding legend who, along with his brother, Vic, started some of the first fitness gyms in the country, died of natural causes last month at a nursing facility, the Los Angeles Times reported. He was 90.
Tanny won national bodybuilding titles in 1949 and 1950 and was a popular figure at that time on Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, CA. He was one of the original nine bodybuilders from Muscle Beach who were part of Mae West's traveling nightclub act, according to the Times.
In 1940, Vic and Armand Tanny opened a Santa Monica gym in a small, second-story loft that the brothers rented for $35 a month. They opened another gym in 1941 in Long Beach, CA, but Pearl Harbor's destruction brought America into World War II, and coastal blackouts forced the Tannys' gyms to close. By 1947, Vic Tanny owned several gyms around Los Angeles, and by 1960, the Tanny empire totaled 84 gyms throughout the country. In 1963, Vic sold his clubs in an effort to retire. Vic Tanny died in 1985.
YMCA Hosts Healthy Kids Day
YMCAs across the country planned free local activities as part of YMCA Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, April 18.
Interactive events designed to promote healthy living, bring families together and teach families tools to combat stress during the recession took place at more than 1,800 YMCAs nationwide. The organization anticipated hosting 800,000 family members for its Healthy Kids Day.
"The YMCA understands that many families in our communities are really struggling to maintain balance in their lives," Lynne Vaughan, chief innovation officer, YMCA of the USA, said in a statement. "Through YMCA Healthy Kids Day, we give them an opportunity to have fun and be active as a family, as well as provide simple tools they can use all year long to make things a little better and a little less stressful."
To help participants manage stress, local events promoted regular physical activity, choosing nutritious foods and finding time for family togetherness. Organizers recommended that families consider engaging in the following actions at home:
- Involve the whole family in meal planning, preparation and clean-up.
- Eat more meals together as a family.
- Provide each child with one-on-one time every day.
- Designate one night a week for walks, bowling, bike rides, roller skating or the park.
- Serve fruits and vegetables at most meals; include a whole-grain or protein option with every snack.
Activities planned in local Ys included cooking classes, rock wall climbing, dance demonstrations and health screenings.
REX Roundtables
The REX Roundtables are working with many of its member clubs in developing a free stress management program, which will in the coming months be released to every club in the industry in order to provide free stress management programs to the public.

John C. Fremont reaches the Great Salt Lake
On this day in 1844, the western explorer John C. Fremont arrives at the shores of the Great Salt Lake, one of the many areas he will map for the lasting benefit of a westward-moving nation.
When Fremont reached the strange saltwater inland lake (a remnant of the much larger prehistoric Lake Bonneville), he was not the first Euro-American to view its shores. As early as the 1820s, fur trappers had returned to the East with tales of a bizarre salt lake where no fish swam, and the French explorer Benjamin Bonneville was the first to map the lake's outlines in 1837. But for the far-ranging John C. Fremont, the Great Salt Lake was only one small part of a much wider journey of discovery and mapping.
Born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1813, Fremont began honing his skills as an explorer and mapmaker in his early twenties. His first major expedition was an 1842 survey of the Platte River for the U.S. Corps of Topographical Engineers. More skilled in cartography and science than trailblazing and wilderness survival, Fremont relied heavily on the abilities of men like Kit Carson as guides and advisers.
Fremont reached the Great Salt Lake during his second expedition. His 14 months of western rambling also took him across the Sierra Nevada and resulted in the first comprehensive map of the Great Basin, the region between the Wasatch and the Sierra Nevada mountains where water drains to neither the Pacific nor the Atlantic. After Fremont's Great Basin map was published, one commentator noted, it "changed the entire picture of the West." It also made Fremont a national hero. Along with charts resulting from three further expeditions, Fremont's maps became indispensable guides to thousands of overland immigrants heading westward to begin new lives. He died of peritonitis in New York City on July 13, 1890.

I found this faulty proof of $$ \newcommand{\NP}{\mathrm{NP}} \NP = \NP^{\NP}, $$ where the tricky part is to proof that $ \NP ^{\NP} \subseteq \NP$, and this is how it is realized:
Take $\NP^\NP$ machine that is a ND polytime TM1 running in $O(P_1(n))$ and assume the oracle as a ND polytime TM2 running in $O(P_2(n))$. Replace the oracle with actual calls to TM2, so $\NP^{\NP}$ machine is TM3 that is non-deterministic running in $O(P_1 \cdot P_2(n))$. This is in fact an NP machine, thus $\NP^\NP \subseteq \NP$.
Could anyone help me? I can't figure out the error. Thank you!

While it is not surprising that the announcers for each team's television and radio networks would have different reactions to a home run, you may never hear more contrasting styles than what happened after Jason Giambi's walk-off home run lifted the Indians over the White Sox.
Matt Underwood's call (0:05 mark in the video below) for Sportstime Ohio, the Indians' TV network, is good. Tom Hamilton's call (0:45 mark) for WTAM, Indians radio network, is perfect.
But then compare those to what Hawk Harrelson did (1:26 mark) on CSN Chicago, the White Sox TV network. No stranger to on-air meltdowns, Harrelson basically goes silent and even let's out a gasp when he tries to speak later.
And this video doesn't do it complete justice, because they cut out about half of Giambi's home run trot in which Harrelson sulks and says nothing...

Is it ok to mix yeast strains? Specifically, I use Wyeast and wonder if mixing yeasts was ok? If so, what are some parameters to follow?

mixing yeast
It's okay. I would just have a goal in mind. For example, I know of a British brewery that uses a mix of 2 strains, a fast fermenting flocculant strain and a slow-flocculating strain to insure that the beer fully attenuates and conditions properly.

Of course we all want to have a nice house and we all want it to look luxurious and elegant that is why we only buy what we think will give a great look inside our homes. Things like lampshades, chandeliers, paintings, modern home appliances, and nice, comfortable sofas are what we usually put inside our homes but as we all know this requires a lot of money. But we can have a design without breaking the budget because there are simple ways that we can easily follow to live in a luxury. Here are some tips or ideas that you may want to consider when you want to have a luxury home interior design that is affordable, economical, and very elegant.
One of the best tips that you must follow when achieving a luxury home interior design is to make use of what you have. This does not necessarily mean that you will have to throw away all your old stuff just to achieve the look of sophistication and class in your house. Do not hide away your china, silverware, and crystal because what are you saving them for? It is time that you make use of those things and you will see that they will add a great deal of luxury in your own home. Another tip that you can take note of when achieving this kind of design is by adding affordable elegance in your own home. What you can do is to buy throw pillows or a tapestry that has elegant designs and you can focus on those things to avoid upholstering your entire living room just to achieve the effect. Next is to always remember that you must reward yourself by sleeping in the most comfortable bedroom and you can achieve a luxury home interior design by just adding pair of silky soft covers in your pillowcases or bed sheets and you instantly get the feeling that you are living the glamorous life. If you can, you can splurge on a whole set of beddings just to get the desired effect that you want on your bedroom plus, when you come to think of it, it is one way of treating yourself after a long hard day.


text: Hi all. I am going to be visiting the area in 2 weeks and I wanted to ask about the current trail conditions for the Mt San Jacinto peak hike from the tram. Is there enough snow that snow shoes would still be required to make it to the top? How about to Wellman Divide? I would like to make it to the top, but I will not have any snow equipment with me so I'm trying to figure out how far I can realistically get before I have to turn around.

Graceville Memorial Park is better recognised for cricket ovals, complete with grandstand similar to the WWI memorial grandstand at Bulimba, yet it offers its own tributes to heroism, living and man-made.
Prior to the then Sherwood Shire's war memorial unveiling in November 1920, 52 bunya pines and cotton trees were planted along Plumridge and Appel streets, commemorating its war dead, 51 soldiers and one nurse. They were among 265 enlisted local men and seven nurses.
A 5.5 metre high cenotaph, created by AL Petrie with a copper scroll made by Norwegian craftsman Ernest Gunderson, was unveiled by Lieutenant Edwin Maurice Little of Corinda, a blind and maimed returned soldier. The polished grey granite column set on a light grey granite pedestal is crowned by a polished ball, etched with a map of Australia and the word 'ANZAC'.
An avenue of bauhinias, cabbage tree palms and Chinese elms was planted either side of a drive from Oxley Road leading to the memorial within the park reserve. A single line of figs and camphor laurels continued west from the memorial towards Appel Street.
The reserve has been officially known as Graceville Memorial Park since 1926. Plaques commemorating subsequent conflicts have been added.
