In America it's "French" toast and it's breakfast. In France it's pain perdu, or "lost bread." In Spain, bread dipped in egg and fried until golden is called torrijas and it's a favorite springtime dessert. The basic preparation: dip or soak thick slices of stale bread in sweetened milk, wine syrup or sweet wine, then into beaten egg. No, don't mix the milk and egg together. Fry them in olive oil until golden. Sprinkle with sugar or drizzle with honey boiled with a little water. Sprinkle with lots of cinnamon. Serve at room temperature.

The Argus was built in 1977 by the Swedish navy and was known then as the MS Trymbergen.
Greenpeace chartered the ship in 2000.Previously it was used for fishing excursions and navy training at sea in Norway. The vessel was converted and renamed the Argus. Its port of registry is the Leuvehaven, Rotterdam.
The Argus is made of light materials and has a double engine so it is a very fast ship. It has a fast zodiac(inflatable speedboat) on board and contains instruments to examine water and soil samples. With the Argus, Greenpeace can investigate contamination, illegal dumping of toxic waste and damage to the environment in the Rotterdam port.
In Greek mythology Argus is a giant man with eyes all over his body so he can watch everything very closely.This is symbolic of the Greenpeace Argus ship, which closely monitors pollution.
The Argus mainly campaigns against the production,use and dumping of toxic chemicals. The ship itself is treated with TBT-free paint. TBT is a very toxic chemical that prevents algae from attaching themselves to vessels' hulls.
The first action of the Argus was in September 2000. A giant stamp saying "Stop TBT" was attached to the ship's crane and then used to brand ships painted with TBT paint.
In February 2001 when a ship, the Saga Tide, carrying timber cut from Canadian ancient forests wanted to enter the Netherlands harbour of Flushing; the Argus was there to prevent it.
During May 2001 Greenpeace used the Argus to help block the heavily contaminated Rotterdam chemical harbour. Greenpeace demanded tha tproducers AKZO, Shell and Shin Etsu cleaned the chemical harbour.
Journalists could sail to the North Sea on board of the Argus at theend of July 2001. There Greenpeace placed the first offshore windmillin the sea. Exactly at the location where Clyde Petroleum had plannedto drill for gas.
The mud in the harbours of Rotterdam, Breskens, Terneuzen and Flushing has been seriously contaminated with TBT. In October the Argus dredged up some of this toxic mud. Part of it was dumped at Atofina in Flushing.
Port of registry: RotterdamFormer name: MS TrymbergenDate of charter: 2 may 2000Number of berths: 7Inflatables: 1 zodiacHelicopter capable: noType: patrol vesselBuilt: 1977 in Lunde, SwedenGross tonnage: 29Length: 19.15mBreadth: 4.10mDraught: 1.80mMaximum speed: 20,5 knotsEngines: Volvo Penta (2 x 340 s.h.p.)
Eco Matser, head of the Greenpeace Netherlands toxics department was on board the Argus during an action against toxic mud in Flushing harbour, which was contaminated with the chemical TBT, a common ingredient in ship's paint.
He writes:
As we sailed into the harbour we received a radio message saying that we were not allowed to enter.
However, our captain, Hans, stoically answered: 'Yes, so I understand.' But entered the harbour anyway.
We dredged up the toxic mud onto the ship. When a police-boat finally arrived, we had almost finished our job. One hour later we took off.
Later that day I spoke with the harbour master. I told him why we were dredging there. First he threatened to undertake action against Greenpeace. But he also admitted the action had some advantages.
Normally the harbours have to pay for the costs of dredging. And now Greenpeace was dredging up the contaminated mud.
The actions against the chemical TBT were successful. On 5 October the UN International Maritime Organisation decided on a worldwide ban of TBT in ship paints.

I didn't put newspaper in my shoes last night. They were still wet this morning. This came as a surprise to my feet. An unwelcome start to a very cold commute.My feet are still cold.
An update on button sales. So far, we've "moved" (figuratively) 21 buttons, which is pretty great. I'd like to thank everyone who has purchased a button so far. For those of you who are holding out, please be aware that I've ordered exactly one less button than the number of buttons you would have expected me to order and if you don't order yours soon, it might not be there. Or something like that. I'm thinking that I'll aim for some time next week for the BUTTON HAPPY HOUR/TWEETUP, at which point you can purchase a button, pose for a photograph with me shaking your hand, drink a drink, and meet the other readers of this very blog. It'll probably be somewhere downtown, presumably in a place where beer is sold, like a library or under a highway overpass. Suggestions welcome. Also, if you've already ordered your button on manfredmacx.com and would prefer to pick it up in person (and receive handshake, drink a drink, and/or meet other readers of this very blog), you can do that too.
Everyone who didn't ride yesterday seemed to be back out again today. Cold isn't nearly the deterrent that rain is. I tried not to be resentful, but my damp and cold feet wanted otherwise. I think that you should ride whenever it suits you and not ride when it overly inconveniences you. My feet concur.
I saw a pack of four Capitol police bicycle officers riding in a bunch along Second NE. Critical mass sure has changed.
Classic case of Second Car Syndrome as the driver of a red pickup blared his horn at the driver in front of him who correctly and graciously allowed me to ride across the street with the walk signal across from the Capitol. I turned my head and gave a nice long glare at the honking driver.
If you miss the bike light at the intersection of Pennsylvania and 15th, you can always turn right by crossing into the travel lanes and then cut back across the opposite travel lanes on 15th to get into the cycletrack. Just try to get back across before the northbound car traffic gets the green at the intersection of 15th because then you'll get stuck.
Remember when I used to complain about that caution tape by the White House?
Maybe drivers should wear flame retardant suits for safety. I've heard that in cases of car crashes, a flame retardant suit can reduce your chances on traumatic burns by up to 85%. Driving, as we all know, is very dangerous. Then in newspaper articles after car crashes, it can say whether or not the driver was wearing a flame retardant suit and we can judge whether or not he or she took their personal safety seriously.
Double shoaled along R, on the right two. One guy, who I'll call "boat shoes," especially ticked me off for some reason. I think that if you have to squeeze in the three feet between me and a truck just so you can pull in front of me at a red light, maybe you should reconsider. I'm pretty sure that I'm a better checker-outer than most people at the self-serve lines in the grocery store, but I don't just cut in front of them. For the love of Pete, only pass while moving. It's the only time when you can accurately discern whether or not the speed at which you're traveling is greater than those of the people around you. So "boat shoes" rides in front of me for a couple of blocks and we approach the intersction of R and 20th. There's an SUV in the left lane, a bike lane, and a truck to the right of the bike lane looking to turn right at Connecticut. And "boat shoes," rather than passing the right-turning truck on the left, goes to pass him on the right, moving into the path of his turn! (whereas I passed on the left, which was the obvious thing to do). If I'm ever injured because a driver has to take evasive action to avoid a dumb move from another bicyclist, I'll be rather peeved. Peeved, I tell you!
Even Secret Service police car drivers have to yield to crossing pedestrians and bicyclists. He didn't like it though. Tough cookies. Did I have to slow down so much to considerably lengthen the time it took me to cross the street? Probably not.
There's a regular Bikeshare user I see riding down Massachusetts. He wears a shiny, puffy coat and I call him Puffy Coat. I also see singlespeed superbiker alot, but he rides on the other side of the street. It only occurred to me just today that he rides up Mass with one speed as well. Wow.
Received the rare triple honk warning from a passing truck today. It's cool, but you still don't need to honk, especially because I was in the other lane. This is a well-intentioned misunderstanding that I wish would just go away.

Ohhh. My feet just got cold reading that. *shudder*ReplyDelete
I like the idea of judging drivers on whether or not they are wearing flame retardant suits. I mean, if they aren't, what are they THINKING?
I also like the idea of calling drivers Jeff Gordon wannabes.ReplyDelete
If they're speeding near the Canadian Embassy, maybe "Gordon Leadfoot."ReplyDelete

20 December 2007 - Omnibus is ominous Our plan this week was to make this issue of ILC NewsLine a thematic one, highlighting progress on Superconducting Radiofrequency R&D, the central technology for the International Linear Collider. It would have made a very nice final edition for this calendar year, but unfortunately new events that imperil the future course of the ILC must be addressed instead. -- By Barry Barish
13 December 2007 - A more integrated approach toward an energy frontier lepton collider All of particle physics is poised for the impending first explorations of the trillion-electronvolt (TeV) energy scale at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Within the next couple of years, the LHC will lead the way in opening up this new frontier for particle physics. The early results should help us determine what is required of a complementary lepton collider, in order to best address the new physics. -- By Barry Barish
6 December 2007 - China prepares for a new generation of tau-charm physics The BEBC accelerator and BES detector facility are the centerpieces of the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing.

21 November 2007 - The importance of carefully planned infrastructure Last week, I gave a colloquium about the ILC at CERN. This is a very interesting time to be at CERN. There is a buzz in the air and an impressive amount of intense activity, as final preparations are underway for the LHC start-up, scheduled for next summer. -- By Barry Barish
15 November 2007 - Chinese participation in ILC Beijing is a place to mark important ILC milestones. In 2004, the International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced the decision to base the ILC acceleration technology on superconducting radiofrequency technology. In February 2007, we released the draft Global Design Effort Reference Design Report (RDR) for the ILC. This past week, in what I anticipate will mark an equally important milestone for the ILC, many of us attended the CCAST ILC Accelerator Workshop and first Asia ILC R&D Seminar under the JSPS Core-University Program. -- By Barry Barish

Food52's Editorial Assistant (and college student) Brette Warshaw is curating her very own first kitchen -- and she needs your help. Today: why saucepans are a personal choice.
As we all know here at FOOD52, cooking – and eating – is about sharing, about collaboration, about community. It's a way to connect with others, to express ourselves, to show our love, our care, our compassion.
But cooking – the physical act of cooking – can also be deeply personal. It's a time where our own tastes rule over any others, where we control the fire, the heat, the salt, the spice. How brown should these onions get? It's personal. How do you know when this steak's done? It's personal.
What kind of saucepan do you use? Yeah, that's personal too.
It's easy, from afar, to lust after the superlatives of cookware – the smoothest cast iron, the longest knife, the heaviest and most reliable saucepan. But does that smooth, preseasoned cast iron really feel like your own? Does that long knife fit on your counter, your cutting board?
Can you really pick up that heavy saucepan?
Saucepans – at least the ones I'm looking at for my First Kitchen – are made from at least two types of metal. The cooking surface is typically stainless steel, which won't react to the foods you put onto it. But since stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat, a pan has a layer of heat-conducting metal underneath. For many people, it's aluminum. For Amanda Hesser, it's copper.
I've drooled over Amanda's Mauviel saucepan for over the year I've worked at FOOD52. I've run my hands across the surface and gotten goosebumps (I'm weird like that). I've stewed beans in it, sautéed onions, steamed rice – and all were pleasures, joys, wonders.
But when I actually had to pick it up – to make this sherbet base – I struggled. I staggered. I stopped. It was awkward. It was sad. It was too, well, heavy.
Sorry, copper. It's personal.
While copper pots are out of the question – happily, since they're the most expensive – I know that I want a saucepan that's fully clad. Fully clad means that the different metals – the stainless steel and the heat-conducting metal – are bonded together by pressing or rolling sheets together under high pressure, and that the entire bottom and sides of the pan are covered in these bonded metals.
The obvious choice, when it comes to cladding, is the All-Clad 4-Quart Saucepan ($219.95). It's a beauty; it's a workhorse. But there are less-expensive options, too – ones that are both fully clad and less expensive. Cook's Illustrated, for example, recommends the Cuisinart Multi-Clad Unlimited 4-Quart Saucepan ($69.99). While it may have fewer layers of metal – which makes it cook things quicker – it still does all the saucepan-y things that saucepans do, and for a fraction of the price.
Saucepans come in all sizes – from a tiny one quart to a giant twelve quart (and even larger, in some cases). Since I do a lot of cooking for one, I don't want one that's too big – but I do want to be able to make a big vat of stew on a winter day, or a pot of grains to keep for the week.
As always, I'm ambivalent. That's where you come in.
What kind of saucepan do you use, and what size(s) do you have? Let me know in the comments!
As usual, I'll be pinning everything I'm coveting to my First Kitchen Pinterest board, so check it out!
Email me at [email protected] with your First Kitchen recommendations -- your favorite tools, your favorite cookware. All wisdom is appreciated.

if already the bios sreen is garbled and if a cool system resolves the problem, it seems you have
a faulty Nvida GPU, it´s a G64 Chip in your gfx card and Nvdia´s G64 cannot cope
with normal heat. This problem is known by Nvidia.
I would call Lenovo and tell them your problem.

HI Agotthelf,
Thank you for your reply. I just spoke with a Lenovo cutomer rep. and he refuses to acknowledge that the GPU present in my NVidia Quadro NVS 140M is bad.
He says I will need to send the machine in for repairs to repair my LCD. All expenses need to paid by me !
Any other suggestions ?
Is your machine still under warranty?
This is most definitely a GPU problem. Your LCD is probably as good as it gets after a year of use...
Keep us posted, please...
Good luck.
My warranty expired in July. and I started facing this issue in August.
The customer rep. I spoke with, put me on hold while he said he will check if I was correct about the bad Nvidia GPU issue. He came back after 10mins and blatantly informed me that there is NO SUCH issue, and that I will have to foot the bill to get this repaired !
If it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have no luck at all...I'm very sorry to hear that your T61 is not covered under warranty anymore...
Several things come into play here, and the combination is not looking good for you...
a) The whole nVidia thing is fairly new. It will take some time for people to how to replace the GPUs or fix the problem in the similar manner that they had figured out the way around GPU issue on the T4x/R5x series.
b) Depending on the number of machines affected, Lenovo may or may not admit that there's a problem, and even if they do and start fixing out-of-warranty ThinkPads with the given issue, it won't be any time soon.
Best of all, no machine with a nVidia GPU from the affected series, be it a ThinkPad or something else, can be deemed safe at this time...
Personally, I'd try calling again and hopefully getting a more sympathetic rep on the phone. Should that fail, there are people around here that I'd be contacting. If that wouldn't reap results, I'd move on to a laptop witout nVidia card.
What you can do for the time being is dowload the latest version of ThinkPad Fan Control which was designed with T61 as a default machine, and monitor your GPU temperatures, along with trying to keep the card cool. Personally, I'd rather have a constantly running fan than a garbled screen. You can download it from here:
I wish you the very best of luck and please keep us posted.
Me too on garbeled/split screen problem. Just started yesterday and was able to get readable screen for a few minutes since but now happens all the time, right from boot, even when cold. Everything else seems to work but it is really, really hard to make way thru menus with jumbled screen and external monitor does not seem to work (no docking station). Frustrating.

We're big believers in the fact that riding a bicycle doesn't have to mean compromising style (and when we say style, we mean YOUR personal style, not any sort of catwalk ideal). So we've tried wearing just about everything in our closets on our bicycles, and have found that there are very few items that absolutely won't work (or aren't worth the trouble of hacking). Here's our very short list.
- Pencil skirts (without slits)—the tight, hobbling skirt doesn't allow enough freedom to pedal, unless you convert them.
- Bellbottoms or extremely long or loose pants—the flares can get caught in your chain or crank, and the extra material slapping against the chain case or frame as you pedal can be annoying. Of course, binding the pants at your ankles can fix this, but for simplicity's sake we prefer to just go for an alternate pants style.
- Miniskirts—unless you don't mind being known as the girl who flashes people on her way to work. If you love miniskirts, try leggings, tights or bike shorts underneath, or get a big ol' basket for the front.
- Evening gowns—this is as much a safety issue for the gown as it is for the individual! But long trains, gauzy overskirts, etc can be especially challenging on a bike.
- Platform heels—there just isn't enough sole surface area at the ball of your foot to make contact with the pedal.
Readers: where do you draw the line when it comes to bike-friendly clothing? Tell us in the comments!

Following last year's well received split with Cats And Cats And Cats, Oxford math-rock combo This Town Needs Guns deliver their debut album as a conceptual piece; each track named after a different species of mammal. There's no denying that this band displays a high level of mastery of their instruments throughout Animals. Guitarist Tim Collis' cascades of chiming notes are the defining feature of the record, as he leads the rhythm section through a labyrinth of time changes.
But it's their devotion to musicianship that constantly threatens to sink this particular ark and its hapless, furry occupants. It can't be easy to confine this amount of technicality within traditional song structures, and This Town Need Guns are only occasionally successful; Chris Collis' jazz-influenced drum virtuosity has the tendency to distract attention from, rather than add to, the overall melee, whilst one can feel only pity for singer Stuart Smith, who is left with the unenviable task of fitting his vocal parts to the overwhelming deluge of notes. He puts in a valiant effort, but his likeable, understated voice is largely overwhelmed by his bandmates' incessant noodling.
Where some restraint is shown, as on the relatively staid 'Lemur' and soporific closer 'Zebra', sparks of brilliance are evident. Instrumental 'Elk' is also a welcome refrain from the surrounding bustle, with a pleasantly stripped back trumpet-and-guitar discourse. Overall, then, Animals marks out a cerebral band with a lot of ideas up its sleeve and even if they haven't quite found a way to effectively tie them all together, their potential for grander statements is clear to see.

Furthermore is it possible to display a number in the tray, which updates in real time based on a variable? Ive never seen this done before, its always a set of icon images.

I thought I would write on my Great Grandfather's brother in anticipation of his birthday, he would be 125 this year. Growing up, I never knew of Uncle John Nelson Jonas likely because nobody in my family ever knew him. He passed away at the ripe age of 30 in 1918, a victim of Influenza. The family knew of his widow as she lived on Main Street in Richmond, Cache, Utah and associated with their children. Since I have some pictures of his family, I thought I would make them available. My Great Grandfather Joseph Nelson Jonas did not live to be much older and so personal memories of him were lost many decades ago as well.
John Nelson Jonas was the fourth of seven children born in the marriage of Annetta Josephine Nelson and Joseph Jonas 14 August 1888 in or near Ellensburg, Kittitas, Washington. He was christened 10 September 1888 at St. Andrews in Ellensburg. About 1896, John's mother, Annie, went to the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane in Fancher, Spokane, Washington (she is listed as Ann J Jonas). She was in and out of hospitals throughout her life but as John was one of the older children, he would have known his mother a little better.
Annie got out of the Eastern Washington Hospital 31 October 1899 and went home to Ellensburg and continued to be a handful for the family. The family on the 1900 Census was in Cle Elum, Kittitias, Washington. Although that census does not include Annie and the census that year has Joseph Sr in both Cle Elum and Spokane about two weeks apart in June 1900. Annie must have been back in Fancher. Annie's sister, Charlotte, visited in 1901. Due to Annie's mental and emotional state, and with Joseph's approval, the Jonas family went to Utah to stay temporarily with Annie's brother, Nels August Nelson. Uncle August lived in Crescent, Salt Lake, Utah and the Jonas party arrived 3 July 1901 from Washington.
Joseph for one reason or another went back to Washington with the oldest child Margaret. Nels suggested it was legal issues; it might have just been the farm that needed attention. Annie's issues were such that Nels and his wife, Fidelia, signed an affidavit of insanity and had her admitted to the Utah State Hospital 1 November 1901.
Joseph had been raised as a Catholic and Annie Nelson had been raised LDS. Annie decided she did not like LDS men and wanted to marry a Gentile and did so. The children were raised Catholic in Washington. Now in Utah, Uncle August made sure the children learned about the LDS faith. The three boys, John, William, and Joseph, elected to be baptized LDS on 10 January 1902 in Crescent by their Uncle August in an ice-covered Jordan River. All three were confirmed 12 January 1902 by Jaime P Jensen. Rosa joined 6 February 1902, also in Crescent under the hand of Uncle August in a hole chipped in the Jordan River. Margaret did not join as she stayed near her father in Washington.
In 1904, Rosa married a boy, Christian Andersen, from Richmond. They married in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. They moved to 137 E 100 S in Richmond. John and his brothers resided with Uncle August until after their mother passed in 1907, then they would regularly and for prolonged periods stay with Rosa in Richmond. William and John were both ordained Elders 6 January 1908 in Crescent. In Richmond, both were again ordained Seventies 19 September 1909 by Charles Hart (1866 – 1934, 1st Council of Seventy). John was endowed in the Logan LDS Temple 1 October 1909 and left to serve in the Southern States Mission. He left 10 October 1909, arrived at Chattanooga, Hamilton, Tennessee 18 Oct, Montgomery, Montgomery, Alabama 21 Oct, and formally starting 25 October 1909. The 1910 Census lists John at home in Crescent.
I understand John attended Brigham Young College in Logan but I don't know any of the details of when or if he graduated. Nellie told her nephew, Ellis Jonas, that John was the only one of the brothers who could keep a level head. Just remember the source of that compliment – his wife.
John met Nellie Armina Andersen, a cousin of Rosa's husband Christian, while staying in Richmond. Nellie and John fell in love and were married 5 June 1912 in the Logan, Cache, Utah at the LDS Temple.
The above photo indicates it was taken in Salt Lake City at Cusworth's Studio. We don't know the occasion, but it must have been something to dress up for, or just a sitting for a portrait. Either way, the photo was shared with my Great Grandmother.
The wedding announcement in the Logan Republican on 25 June 1925, "On June 5th Mr. John Jonas and Miss Nellie Anderson of this place were married in the Logan Temple. Mr. Jonas is managing his Uncle's farm at Murray, Utah. After a family reception at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Armina Anderson, the couple departed for Murray where they will make their future home."
John and Nellie had three children.
Calvin Andersen Jonas born 6 August 1913 and died 17 June 1991 both in Richmond. He married Viola Florence Chapman (1921 – 2006) on 30 March 1957 in Elko, Elko, Nevada. Calvin lived in his mother's home until he passed away and then Viola remained in the same home until her passing. It was Calvin who took the land and created a trailer park on the rest of the property to the welcome or chagrin of Richmond. Calvin and Viola did not have any children, although Viola brought children to the marriage from her previous marriage. I last visited Viola about 2005 and Viola had her daughter Dixie living with her to take care of her, the trailer park, and their ceramic store.
Melvin Andersen Jonas born 13 March 1917 in Richmond and drowned 16 Jul 1944 in San Marcos, Hays, Texas while he was in training at San Marcos Army Air Field. Apparently he had just married Doris Everts on 17 March 1944 somewhere in Texas. It is not believed they had any children. Melvin was a lieutenant in the Army.
John and Nellie purchased a home 3 April 1917 on the corner of Main and 200 E in Richmond (now 195 E Main). The entire lot one, block 25 of Richmond City came with the home for $1,200.00. They moved in when Melvin was only a few days old. When John registered for the World War I Draft, he indicated he was a laborer at Utah Condensed Milk Company in Richmond.
I have included a copy of the full Draft Registration. It is interesting to note John's signature on the first page.
Nellie became pregnant and while with their third children tragedy struck. John caught the spreading Influenza virus in the epidemic of 1918 and passed away shortly before Christmas on 19 December 1918 at home in Richmond. Nellie gave birth to their last child months later.
Our cousin, Carvel Jonas wrote of John's death, "'Prior to 1974, 38 major flu outbreaks had been recorded, including the disastrous pandemic in 1918 which attached an estimated 500 million people, leaving 20 million dead,' according to Science Digest March 1975. The severity of the 1918 pandemic was due to the fact that it lasted for more than 14 months; ordinary epidemics in the average community last no more than six weeks before running their course,' quoted from 'The Encyclopedia of Common Diseases, p 722; by the Staff of Prevention Magazine, co 1976'. Unfortunately John was one of the estimated 20 million who died."
Carvel also writes, "Before John died he would play hide and seek with his two boys. After John died the boys thought that their father was still playing the game and would try to find him when Nellie would come home."
His obituary in the Deseret News stated, "Funeral of John Jonas. Richmond, Dec 30 – Funeral services were held Sunday for John Jonas who died of Pneumonia, following influenza. Mrs. A. A. Thomas and W.J. Thomas of Salt Lake furnished music. The speakers were Bishop P.N. Nelson, Bishop J.L. McCarrey, and A.S. Schow. The deceased is survived by a wife and two small children and several brothers and sisters. The flu conditions have so well improved that the local health board has permitted the opening of places of amusement."
Armina Andersen Jonas was born 5 March 1919 in Richmond and died 30 March 2011 in St. George, Washington, Utah. She married Don Farnes (1916 – 1978) 10 March 1937 in Logan. Don was gone by the time I was born, but I remember stopping to visit Armina at her home in Kimberly, Twin Falls, Idaho with my Grandma in the late 1980's. I stopped the last time in Kimberly about 2008 shortly before she moved to live with her daughter in Southern Utah.
Nellie remarried to Arnold Thornley (1893 – 1969) on 14 April 1926 in Logan. It must not have been a very long marriage as very few seemed to remember him.
Nellie continued to live in their home until she passed away 11 December 1953 in Salt Lake City of myocarditis.
Her obituary stated, "Nellie A. Jonas – Richmond, Cache County – Mrs. Nellie Andersen Jonas, 64, died Friday night in a Salt Lake hospital after an operation. Born July 26, 1889 at Richmond, daughter of George and Armina Carson Andersen. Resident in Richmond entire life. Married to John N. Jonas in 1912, in Logan L.D.S. Temple. He died in 1918. Active in L.D.S. Church…" I need to get a copy of the full obituary to share it.
John and Nellie are buried together in the Richmond Cemetery. All three children are buried within a stone's throw. John's father and Nellie's parents are also a stone's throw away.

(This article was sponsored by General Motors.)
Douglas E. Waite (MCCS (EXW/AW/NAC), USNR) is President of the GM Veterans Affinity Group. Below he discusses his military transition and his tips for veterans entering the civilian job market.
When I left active duty in 1984 the emphasis was on retention and not transition. Although some assistance was available there was nothing like what is available today. When I entered the civilian work force I paid to have a civilian resume written for me and to have a federal resume prepared. Thanks to the networking I had done while on active duty I learned of a civil service position at the Pacific Missile Test Center at Point Mugu, CA that I was uniquely qualified for. I landed that position and eventually I went to work for the Air Force at Vandenberg AFB. Eventually I was able to use my federal experience to get a job at General Motors.
I have been fortunate to have such great jobs since I left the military, but I got them through networking, education, and perseverance. It is much easier to market yourself today and to keep track of what is available. If you want to work for GM all you have to do is go to GM.com/careers and you will see every salaried position that is currently available. There are a number of career fairs specifically for veterans and companies like GM are increasingly using virtual career fairs. Employers today get tax breaks for hiring veterans -- that didn't happen in 1984.
I can't emphasize education enough. I took advantage of the educational opportunities that were available to me. I wasn't able to rush right out and get a degree when I was discharged, but by the time I hired into GM I had a two year degree. I wouldn't have been considered for a permanent position without it. After I was hired I took advantage of GM's tuition assistance plan and got that Bachelor's Degree; if you want a good job and if you want to advance yourself you need a good education.
One thing that everybody has when they leave active duty is outstanding training and job experience. This combination instantly places you above your civilian counterparts who have not had your training or had the opportunity work the various jobs that you have. Employers already know that many of their best people are veterans so all you have to do is sell yourself.
Many companies like GM are using the targeted interviewing process. A targeted interview is designed to gauge your future performance based on your past behavior. You may be interviewed by teams of interviewers or a series of people. Not to worry, they will be asking open ended questions designed to get you to talk so they can see how you react and they can get a deeper understanding of what you know. Think of it as a Sailor of the Year of an NCO of the Year board. Use examples from your military background and treat the questions with a Problem, Solution, and Impact formula. Define the problem, then explain your solution and the resulting impact. This is a standard military approach and it will wow them in your interview.
Above all be patient and stay positive. You will eventually land a good job but be prepared to work your way up back up. Just like making rank in the military, you don't start at the top. I wish everybody luck and on behalf of the GM Veterans Affinity Group I thank you for your service.

If you want genuine Korean auto parts for your vehicle, look no further than our first-rate selection at FourGreen. Our experience and knowledge about Korean cars is top-notch and we know the importance of using only reliable and authentic car parts from Korea. We beat the competition with the best prices on the market for quality that you know you can rely on.
It's obvious from the recent global popularity of South Korean cars that the country's leading automobile manufacturers are able to offer the perfect combination of design, performance and affordability though the advanced technology of each brand.
Parts from Various Vehicle Models
The Hyundai Motor company was established in 1967 and soon enlisted the help of top British engineers. One of its earliest models, the Pony, featured technology developed by Japan's Mitsubishi Motors.
By the time the first Hyundai hit North American streets in 1986, its designs were good enough to be nominated as "Best Product #10" by Fortune magazine, though for the most part, the company kept a low profile in the US as it continued to develop markets in South America, Canada, and all over Asia.
It wasn't until the late 90's that Hyundai began to establish itself as a global brand and eventually ranked second in "initial quality" in a survey/study by J.D. Power and Associates in 2004.
Today, original Hyundai auto parts are truly the best options on the market.
With a history that dates back to 1967, Daewoo was once the most successful of all Korean car brands known for its fun compact cars until its parent company ran into financial trouble in the late 90's. Fortunately, GM purchased Daewoo Motors in 2002 and held 42% of its assets.
As such, Daewoo Motors takes pride in playing a fundamental role in the development of small automobiles for GM around the globe. We carry a variety of Daewoo auto parts from interior panels to body parts as well as mechanical and service parts.
KIA Motors is the fourth largest automobile maker in the world and actually partly owned by Hyundai which is why many of the KIA auto parts are interchangeable with Hyundai parts.
KIA is South Korea's oldest car company, having been founded in 1944. Thanks to a partnership with Ford from 1986 to 1998, you may have already driven a Mazda-derived Ford vehicle with Korean car parts produced in a KIA factory.
The fourth largest car manufacturer in Korea, the SsangYong Motor Company is the underdog of the group. The company has a long history of interest in European automobile technology, having produced the SUVs, vans, trucks and busses together. Most notably, both companies sold a version of the Mercedes-Benz/SsangYong Musso and SsangYong was able to sell a licensed copy of the Mercedes-Benz MB100 called the Istana.
A host of genuine SsangYong auto parts can be found in our stock of thousands of Korean auto parts, which are of top quality from the original manufacturers.
Customer Satisfaction
We have been in the business of supplying cars from Korea with auto parts since 1980 and we keep about 500,000 different parts and accessories in stock for our customers' requirements. Online purchases of Korean car parts are secure, as every order is processed through our servers, which meet the industry standards in security policies.
With warehouses located in Detroit, Dubai and Seoul, Korea, our auto parts are guaranteed genuine. We have the means to obtain the original pieces you need even if they're manufactured halfway around the globe.
Create an account today and find the Korean auto parts you need to get your car back in good shape here at FourGreen Auto Parts.

Fewer people traveling for Thanksgiving
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 20th November 2013
Fewer people are expected to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday this year.
Some 43.4 million Americans
are predicted to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday next week, a 1.5% decrease from the 44 million people who traveled last year, according to AAA projections.
The number of people traveling at least 50 miles from home during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period fell short of last year's four-year high. Travel company AAA describes the Thanksgiving holiday travel period as Wednesday, November 27 to Sunday, December 1.
Some 90% of travelers drive rather than fly during the holiday, but fewer are also driving this year: Some 38.9 million travelers will drive, a decrease of 1.6%. The number of people flying is also expected to drop 3.7% from 3.26 million last year to 3.14 million this year, according to AAA.
"While the economy continues to improve, the sluggish pace of the recovery is creating uncertainty in the minds of some consumers and therefore AAA is projecting a slight decline in the number of Thanksgiving travelers this year," said AAA Chief Operating Officer Marshall L. Doney, in a Wednesday press statement. "For those traveling the good news is motorists will receive a holiday bonus in the form of lower gas prices which are at their lowest levels for the holiday since 2010."
ATL24: A day in the life of the world's busiest airport
The Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday will be the holiday's busiest overall travel day, according to AAA. Thirty-seven percent of travelers expect to travel on Wednesday and the second busiest day will be Sunday, with 33% planning to return home that day.
For fliers, the busiest travel day is expected to be Sunday, December 1, with an estimated 2.56 million travelers, according to
Airlines for America
, an airline industry group. The second busiest is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 27) with 2.42 million fliers. Those numbers compare to the estimated 1.87 million travelers on Saturday, November 23.
Impact of gasoline prices on travel plans
Drivers may find some relief at the gas pump, with AAA predicting prices of lower than $3 per gallon at gas stations in most states -- the cheapest gas prices for the Thanksgiving holiday in three years. The national average price of gas is at its cheapest level of the year and is expected to continue dropping for weeks.
Car travelers are expected to drive an average of 601 miles this year compared to 588 miles last year. They are also spending less on travel, with median spending expected to drop from $498 last year to $465 this year.
Help for the infrequent traveler
If you are flying this holiday season and rarely fly, here's a bit of helpful holiday advice from the Transportation Security Administration:
What about my shampoo and conditioner?
Follow the
TSA's 3-1-1 rule
. If you want to travel with liquids in your carry-on bags, you can most likely bring them in bottles that hold 3.4 ounces or less, placed in one quart-sized, clear, plastic, zipped bag. (One bag per passenger, please.) Frequent business travelers: Just because you carried more bottles on your weekly trips doesn't mean you will be allowed during the holidays. These flights will likely be full, and you don't want to be the one slowing down your TSA security line.
Travelers with medication, disabilities or medical conditions.
People can travel with their medication, but make sure to tell the TSA officers at the start of the screening.
And there are rules to follow
. Travelers who need extra assistance because of disabilities or medical conditions can call the
TSA Cares line
at 855-787-2227 before your trip for guidance.
Don't wrap your presents (yet)
. While there's no absolute rule against wrapped gifts, TSA officers may need to unwrap your gifts to inspect them. Why not wait until you land to wrap them?
Don't carry a knife.
Knives are still prohibited in carry-on luggage, but they can be placed in checked luggage. (Yes, there was a debate earlier in the year about knives, but the knives didn't win the right to fly in the passenger cabins.)
Don't carry a gun.
Passengers carrying guns
up to a TSA security checkpoint can be subject to arrest and prosecution, even if bringing your weapon was an accident. Check TSA and airline regulations before trying to transport firearms and ammunition.
Knitting needles are dandy
Knitting needles and other needlepoint items
-- including scissors under 4 inches -- can be packed in your carry-on bags. But any cutter with a blade, including circular thread cutters, must be packed in your checked baggage.
Use those e-devices.
The Federal Aviation Administration has eased up rules on the use of portable electronics devices aboard airlines flying within the United States, so you may be able to watch a downloaded movie or read an e-book below 10,000 feet. But check your airline's website first to make sure it's gotten approval from the FAA. Talking on cell phones is still not allowed in-flight and no connecting to the Internet unless the flight attendants say so.
Airlines quick to ease electronics rules
Still have questions?
Call the TSA. Really. Call the
TSA Contact Center
at 866-289-9673 about your upcoming travel, TSA rules and any feedback about your travel. It's open Monday -- Friday, 8 a.m. -- 11 p.m. ET. It's also open weekends and federal holidays, 9 a.m. -- 8 p.m. ET.

Daily Links, April 24: Campus controversies, defending sisters, and Father knows debt
Graduation season is drawing near, and along with it comes controversy about who should or should not speak at a Catholic University. Gonzaga University is putting its foot down and sticking with plans to have Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak at its commencement, despite protests against Tutu's invitation.
Even before graduation rolls around, Georgetown University faculty are speaking up against Rep. Paul Ryan, who is scheduled to speak at the school this week. Nearly 90 Georgetown faculty members issued a letter that points out Ryan's misuse of Catholic teaching to justify his budget proposal, though they're not trying to prevent him from coming to speak at the university.
Politics are even making their way into the younger grades of Catholic schools, as teachers in a Canadian Catholic school stirred up trouble by asking students to sign a political petition.
In other news, people are still talking about the Vatican's call for reform of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious in the United States. Mark Silk at RNS puts things in a historical context, while Sally Quinn of the Washington Post thinks we might be seeing a "war on women" in the church.
People are still talking about the bishops' "religious liberty" crusade too--including Sarah Posner of Religion Dispatches and Grant Gallicho of Commonweal, who have a discussion about the problems with the bishops' "Fortnight for Freedom" campaign.
Catholic News Service has a video looking back at Pope Benedict XVI's first seven years as pope, as the pontiff himself looks ahead to year eight.
And a former Catholic priest tells his story of living on low wages and falling deep into debt before leaving the priesthood, turning his life around, and becoming, of all things, a financial advisor.

A couple of years back now, my wife found these 6 Star Fleet exercise books for me on eBay. It's taken me this long to get around to scanning them.
They're quite a bit faded with age but Adobeshop fixed the colour on some of them pretty well:

There are some interesting things related to X-Bomber on Rinkya at the moment too but my Star Fleet quota is reached for the month, I think.
