Boston Bombing Victim Voted Prom Queen — So Sweet
After Sydney Corcoran was severely injured in the Boston Marathon bombing attack, she made a goal for herself: attend her high school prom. Not only did the 18-year-old accomplish her goal, she also took home the crown as her school's Prom Queen!
On April 20, Sydney Corcoran was injured in the explosion at the Boston Marathon that killed three and injured more than 170 people. The explosion severed Sydney's femoral artery, but thanks to the kindhearted strangers who came to Sydney's rescue, her life was saved.
Sydney Corcoran Voted Prom Queen After Boston Bombing Attack
Just weeks after the explosion, Sydney embraced her second chance at life by attending her prom at Lowell High School on May 28. Although Sydney had to use crutches at the dance, she didn't let her injury stop her from having a great time and earning the title of Prom Queen.
"When I was in the hospital, I didn't think this was going to be possible and I got to the rehab and, because I was up and I was doing stuff, it felt more like I could do it. And it was a goal," Sydney said of attending her high school prom.
"I keep feeling like I'm going to cry cause I'm just happy to be back," Sydney told Today about reuniting with her classmates. "See now I'm going to start crying! It's just really good to see everyone."
Sydney was standing with her mother Celeste Corcoran at the finish line waiting for her aunt to finish the race when the bombs went off. Celeste tragically lost both of her legs below the knee, while Sydney's legs were shredded and severely damaged by the explosion.
After the horrific blast, Sydney and her family received nearly $500,000 in donations from people all over the world to help pay for their medical and rehabilitation costs.
After winning the Prom Queen crown, Sydney has one more goal she wants to accomplish: to walk across the stage at her high school graduation.

Record year for Wisconsin ag exports in 2012
Canada, Mexico top buyers
MADISON, Wis. — State officials said Wisconsin exported a record amount of agricultural products in 2012.
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection said about $2.9 billion worth of agricultural goods were exported last year, a 3 percent increase over 2011.
The state's best markets for agricultural products are Canada, Mexico, China, Korea and Japan. Canada is the top destination, importing $1.4 billion of products from Wisconsin.
The market showing the biggest growth in 2012 was China with a 49% increase in Wisconsin agricultural imports. The top exports to China last year were hides and skins, animal feed and dairy-related products.
The most valuable agricultural export for Wisconsin in 2012 was beverages, which is primarily ethanol, at $400 million. The state ranks second in the nation in exporting ethanol, just behind Texas.

Valencia: Sunday Quotes
Lewis Hamilton (2nd): "This is my second podium in a row, and I'm very happy to be here. We did the best job we could today. Am I disappointed? Yes, I think we all are - but that's simply an indication of just how hard everyone in this team is pushing to win. We're never satisfied unless we're winning, in fact. But, ultimately, we didn't really lose anything today - it was always going to be tough to beat Rubens and what we tried wasn't quite enough. Before my second pitstop, I'd been saving fuel and was a bit unsure if I had enough for that extra lap or not. The pitwall had initially asked me to pit - but, just when I was coming in, they told me to stay out and do an extra lap - however, I was already inside the white line [entry to the pits] and committed, so it was too late. In those circumstances, it's always better to be safe and to pit, because the last thing you want to do is run dry out on the circuit. But the call was a marginal one - the team was pushing the envelope, as I say - and it came just a little too late for me and the mechanics, who weren't perfectly prepared. Make no mistake, I think those guys are the best in the business; what happened was simply a result of the team trying everything in their power to turn a safe second place into a possible win. In any case, our overall performance this weekend confirmed the huge improvement we've made recently, but we still lack a bit of race pace compared with the very fastest cars. You can be well sure we're working on fixing that, though. Congratulations to Rubens - he drove a fantastic race today and really deserved this victory."
Heikki Kovalainen (4th): "To start second and finish fourth isn't ideal, but I'm more pleased with my overall performance in this race than in Hungary. We showed good performance throughout the whole weekend, and I really want to thank the whole team for helping us to achieve that - it's good to see things improving like this. We don't yet have the pace of the frontrunners, but everyone has done an incredible job to get us to where we are. We've scored more points in the last three races than any other team - but I still want to score more. I'm already focusing on Spa; it's a circuit I love and I really want to be on the podium there."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Following our all-front-row qualifying result, naturally enough we had very high expectations for today's race. In the event, though, our race pace wasn't good enough to beat Rubens's car. We'd adopted a different tire strategy from many of the front-runners - maybe that was right, maybe that was wrong - but the reality is that we weren't quick enough to win today. So, coming in to the final pitstops, in our efforts to convert a safe second for Lewis into a possible first for him, we took a calculated risk in attempting to reverse the sequence of Lewis's and Heikki's pit stops at the last second. That last-second decision caused a bit of pitlane confusion, which probably cost Lewis a couple of seconds overall - but Rubens's race pace was such that that couple of seconds didn't make a difference to the outcome of the race. In a nutshell, we decided to take the risk because we knew Rubens had the strategy to win and it was our only chance of attempting to prevent that. We don't like not winning, but second and fourth isn't such a terrible result. Now, though, we'll focus on the challenge of Spa - a very different type of racetrack from Valencia."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "A shame for Lewis who drove a faultless race, but it would have been very tight with a perfect pitstop against Rubens anyway and he certainly deserves this victory. Our team scored more points than any other today, the same it did before the summer break in Hungary. This makes a total of 27 out of 36 possible points and Lewis scored 18 out of possible 20. That of course is very positive and will certainly please all our team members in Woking, Brixworth and Stuttgart who have worked so hard to recover from our not quite typical Vodafone McLaren Mercedes form in the first half of the season. Heikki drove a solid race today and brought home his best result so far this season. So, all in all, quite a lot of positives and we all will push hard in order to build on these results. Spa will not be a circuit exactly tailor-made for our car and I do not expect us to be quite as competitive as we were in Hungary and here where we have been the class of the field or on a level with the best. Congratulations to Rubens - he deserves this victory after four tough years since his last one and my feeling is the whole paddock thinks like that."
Kimi Raikkonen (3rd):
Luca Badoer (17th):
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal:
Chris Dyer:
BMW Sauber
Robert Kubica (8th): "I had to start the race from a very bad position as I was in the middle of the pack and we were all very close together in the first corners. Unfortunately I was not able to make up positions at the start, and I even lost a place to Nick. But then during the race my pace was good. Although my stints were shorter, I was even able to overtake Mark Webber during his final pit stop, which was very good."
Nick Heidfeld (11th): "For me the result is rather disappointing because it doesn't reflect what I was able to achieve today. After a good start I was able to match the pace of the guys in front of me, but I let Robert by because he was on a lower fuel load. Then I had to defend my position against Adrian Sutil and lost contact with the front group. This turned out to be crucial, because after his pit stop Heikki Kovalainen came out in front of me and I could not take any advantage from my car being lighter at this stage."
Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director: "Despite being in a very difficult situation with BMW pulling out of the sport, the team really did a very good job all weekend. Starting tenth and 11th on the grid was already a big improvement compared to the previous races. In the race Robert was able to move up to eighth and score a point. Actually Nick had the better chances to make his way up to the front from 11th on the grid because of the strategy he was able to choose. But he got stuck in traffic and therefore couldn't demonstrate what he was capable of. The result gives us a boost for the next races and the development packages planned up to the end of the season."
Willy Rampf, Technical Director: "Our goal was to get at least one point in Valencia. We achieved that. Compliments to the whole team for the effort. The new aero package is clearly progress. We did not have any problems during the race. Unfortunately Nick and, also during some periods, Robert got stuck in traffic and therefore lost valuable time. Our race pace without traffic was as expected."
Fernando Alonso (6th): "Sixth place is the best I could do today for my home Grand Prix and the three points are a good result considering that we started eighth. It was a very tough race: first of all because of the heat but also because it was a very competitive race and I had to push all the way, constantly fighting to keep my position. But we have been quick all weekend and therefore I'm quite confident we can keep this pace and deliver an even better result in Spa."
Romain Grosjean (15th): "Unfortunately the first lap didn't go well for me, but during the race there were a lot of positives and I gained some valuable experience. At the start of the race I had to really concentrate and pay attention to everything that was happening around me and after that I just tried to be consistent and set some good lap times. It's clear that I must do better next weekend in Spa and I will aim to put the experience I have gained in Valencia to good use."
Flavio Briatore, Managing Director: "Fernando's race was compromised by yesterday's qualifying, but he did the best he could and brought home three points. Romain did a very good job throughout his first Grand Prix and I'm sure he will improve rapidly during the rest of the season. The car is competitive and we can hopefully do better next week in Belgium on a more 'traditional' track than here in Valencia."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "After the problem in qualifying, Fernando showed good pace during the race, but on this circuit it was difficult to do more than the result we've come away with and we certainly welcome the points. Romain was unfortunate to have an incident on the first lap but from that point he just had to settle down to a steady race and see how the car behaved over a race distance. He did this very well and we are really pleased that he finished his first race."
Remy Taffin, Head of Engine Operations: "I think we have come away with as many points as we could today and considering the disappointment of yesterday's qualifying session to finish sixth is a good result. Unfortunately Romain had an incident on the opening lap, but overall he had a strong race and showed good pace. We have now finished an engine cycle which means that the engines have completed their third Grand Prix and they have worked very well for us. We will be able to use them again during certain sessions later in the year but we will have new engines for Spa which should help us be competitive next weekend."
Jarno Trulli (13th): "The start wasn't great and the car didn't improve from qualifying, when I was struggling a lot with a lack of grip. So I had the same problems again today and the grip was nowhere close to where it had been earlier in the weekend during practice. I did my best but there was nothing I could do to improve my position. I hope for a better weekend in Belgium."
Timo Glock (14th): "It was a pity the race started like that because over a race distance we were pretty quick, just like we were in Budapest. At the first corner I had to dive down the inside because the cars in front were braking heavily so I had to avoid them. Then I was hit from behind and basically any hope I had of getting a decent position was finished there and then. But I pushed as hard as possible for the rest of the race to at least get some more data and we showed what might have been by setting the fastest lap right at the end."
John Howett, President: "That was clearly not the result we wanted or expected from this Grand Prix. It has been a very difficult weekend but we must put this behind us and we have another race next week in which to show our true potential. We have to understand why our relative qualifying pace is worse than our relative race pace because our car is reasonably competitive, as Timo showed by setting the fastest lap. We have to get on top of this and take advantage of what the car can offer."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jaime Alguersuari (16th): "This was much tougher for me than Hungary, because of the heat and humidity. With ten laps remaining, I had a problem with my drinks system which meant I couldn't get anything to drink. It was really tough and I just did my best to finish and bring home the car. On the plus side I have now done a lot more kilometers and I therefore hope this will help me do better in Spa, where at least it won't be as hot."
Sebastien Buemi (DNF, Brakes): "My race was more or less over immediately after the start. I will have to watch the race to see exactly what happened. I moved to the inside to try and avoid the bottleneck and as Glock accelerated, he drove over my wing which obviously broke and the time I lost coming back to the pits to replace it meant my race was done. I carried on pushing to see what lap times I could do and what the car was capable of, but I soon had braking problems and eventually the disc broke and I had to park the car. The last few race weekends have not gone well, but you have to stay positive. The car seems to have improved, so we have the potential to do better. Let's see at Spa."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "Unfortunately for Buemi, his race was effectively over at the first corner, when he collided with Glock, losing the front wing. He had to pit for a new nose and we assume that the accident had also damaged the left front brake duct, so the brake didn't cool properly, which led to the failure that put him out of the race. Alguersuari did a good job to finish in these tough conditions, in what we must not forget, is only his second F1 race."
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (9th): "No gains for us today, which is the first time in a long time. The long and short of it was that I wasn't quick enough today - it was a tough race. I've been struggling all weekend and I think I got the result I deserved, which was no points, unfortunately. We were a little bit unlucky around the pit stops with Lewis (Hamilton) coming back out in front, but that's the way it goes. The pit stops weren't great, as I might have been a bit long on positioning - so not the best day for us. But, we will dust ourselves down and move on to Spa."
Sebastian Vettel (DNF, Engine): "The biggest problem today was the first stop - we weren't able to get fuel in the car, so we had to come in again. We were lucky to make it back for a second stop. The race was lost already at that point but then, a couple of laps on, I had a problem with the engine and I had to retire. It's not good. In terms of the Championship, I will fight until the last breath, but it's not good to have retired when you're hunting and want to get more points than your opponent. You're in a position to do it, but then you don't finish the race."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "A bitterly disappointing day. A fuel rig failure on Sebastian's car, followed by an engine failure, which is the second of the weekend, was costly. Unfortunately with Mark, we just weren't quick enough today. He held Jenson (Button) behind him for a long time, but Jenson was too quick and jumped us with a very quick out-lap, unfortunately Mark was not quick enough to hold him behind."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "This race ended a nightmare weekend for us. We had two engine failures on Sebastian's car, so it's a black weekend. I can only apologize to Red Bull Racing and Sebastian in particular for this reliability issue and assure them that we will work as hard as possible to ensure it doesn't happen again. But, the end of the season will now be tough on the engine side for Sebastian."
Nico Rosberg (5th): "I did enjoy the race, but the heat really took most of the fun out of it. It wasn't nice, but it was still a good result for the team. Fifth again, after starting seventh, is not bad, and gives us more points. I was hoping to beat Raikkonen today but he was too fast. Our car seems to suit every track we go to, and the team is doing well to keep development going from race to race. It's nice that we are always up there and I hope we continue like this, and possibly make a step forward onto the podium soon."
Kazuki Nakajima (18th): "It was another disappointing afternoon for me. It was all over in qualifying really. I was in 13th when I had the puncture and that really finished my race. Just a few laps before the end, I then had some kind of problem so I had to stop early."
Rod Nelson, Chief Operations Engineer: "Kazuki was compromised by his problems in qualifying so we decided to go for a long first stint which was looking reasonable until his puncture. We then had to retire his car early as it had some damage from the puncture which could have harmed the gearbox. Nico drove a strong race. We were hoping to get close to Raikkonen but the second stint wasn't strong enough which, in turn, brought Alonso into play. We managed the gap to Alonso to keep fifth place which we are happy with."
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering:
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (10th): "Today was a good performance with no mistakes, good lap times and we showed a clear step forward. I think tenth was the maximum we could do from 12th position on the grid. It was a very tough race, very hot, but everything worked perfectly. I was behind the two BMWs for my first stint and couldn't get past on the track but the team did a really good stop and I could pass Heidfeld in the pitlane. I'm really looking forward to Spa now - I love the track and with the pace we've shown this weekend it's looking promising for a good result there."
Giancarlo Fisichella (12th): "It was a difficult race as the grid position was not as good as we had hoped so we used a one-stop strategy, which gave us an opportunity to gain some positions. I made a very good start, keeping clear of the collision and was running in 13th at the end of the first lap, right behind Adrian. The first stint on the hard tires was very consistent with a good pace. Then we changed to the soft tires and it was a bit tricky as there was some graining. I could keep a good pace though I had to watch the tires to keep them until the end. Twelfth is a good result for us. We made a few positions and now seem to be ahead of Toyota and some other cars. We need another step like we made this weekend and we can easily score points."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "Overall it's been a strong performance for us all weekend and probably our most competitive race in two seasons. The upgrades we introduced this race have clearly given us a big step forward and we're now really mixing it in the midfield positions. I'd like to say thanks to all the team back at Silverstone who have worked very hard to get the development through, and to the drivers for doing it justice. I can't wait to get to Belgium now."
Rubens Barrichello (1st): "What a fantastic day. I am so delighted with the win after what was a really tough race out there. It's just amazing and a weekend that I will never forget. Even after five years, you don't forget how to win and the feeling is so good! Although we were fuelled heavier than the McLarens, I knew that I would have to push really hard throughout the race. My engineer Jock was great today, he really encouraged me and helped me to maintain the pace, and the team did a fantastic job with two excellent pit stops. I want to thank everyone who has supported me and this victory is dedicated to the whole of Brazil but particularly to my great friend Felipe Massa. I hope he is back racing against me soon."
Jenson Button (7th): "Rubens did a great job this weekend and he deserves the victory. It's been a long time so I'm happy for him although of course I would rather be on top of the podium. The small mistake in qualifying and a difficult start caught behind Vettel really cost me today as I got caught in traffic and it's really tough to overtake around this circuit. Still we did what we came for this weekend and beat the Red Bulls, our main title rivals, so I'm not too disappointed with seventh position. We'll go to the next race in Spa positive and ready to have a good race."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "That was a fantastic performance from Rubens today to take his first and Brawn GP's seventh win of the season. We knew that having a heavier fuel load would give us an advantage over the cars in front but Rubens had to drive at his absolute best to have a chance of victory. He pushed exactly where he needed to. When we got on the radio and told him that he had to put in some quick laps, he delivered. It was a great performance and an extremely well-deserved victory. We're all delighted for him. Unfortunately it wasn't such a good afternoon for Jenson who had a quick car but was caught in traffic which prevented him from achieving the result that he could have done. In hindsight perhaps we should have been more aggressive in qualifying but his two points today are valuable and we have increased our lead in both Championships. Thanks and credit is due to everyone at the track today and at the factory in Brackley for all their hard work over the past couple of weeks and to our colleagues at Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines in Brixworth for their dedication and the performance of our engine."

Fruit smoothies, frappes and frozen yoghurt drinks marketed as healthy beverages contain more kilojoules than an actual meal, with some having the equivalent of up to 31 teaspoons of sugar.
An analysis by consumer group Choice of 95 drinks from outlets such as Boost Juice, Donut King, Wendys, Gloria Jean's and New Zealand Natural has found 81 of them are high in sugar.
"Smoothies might have a healthy image, but some are packed with hidden sugars," said Choice spokesperson Ingrid Just.
Drinks which contain ingredients such as high-fructose syrup, fruit juice concentrates and artificial flavours and colours are often higher in sugar than actual fresh fruit, she said.
"This makes smoothies more like a sugary meal than a snack."
The review found some Baskin and Robbins yoghurt smoothies had between 29 and 31 teaspoons of sugars.
It also found that Boost Juice's super smoothies, while made with real juice, are high in energy and close to 2000 kilojoules per regular serve, roughly the same number of kilojoules as a meal.
According to dieticians, snacks should contain about 600 kilojoules.
The study also highlighted a tendency to supersize regular or medium serves and inconsistency between serving size.
At Donut King a regular is 280mL, while at New Zealand Natural a regular drink is 650mL.
The consumer group said people should consider all the ingredients in a drink before making a choice.
"If you are an active person and you want a quick pick-me-up, some outlets have better options with smaller sizes, fewer kilojoules or less added sugar," Ms Just said in a statement.

LOS ANGELES (March 4, 2014) — SAG-AFTRA has finalized its Personal Manager Code of Ethics and Conduct, a voluntary agreement that is designed to promote honest and ethical relationships between the union's members and the managers they choose to represent them.
As a sign of commitment to its burgeoning relationship with the personal management community, SAG-AFTRA's Agency Relations Department is now known as the SAG-AFTRA Professional Representatives Department.
The Code has been years in the making and, over the last several months, included close work with the talent management community. Its purpose is to further enhance relations with personal managers and ensure SAG-AFTRA members have access to appropriate representation.
"The establishment of the Personal Manager Code of Ethics and Conduct is a true 'win-win,' assuring important protections for SAG-AFTRA members while providing significant and meaningful benefits to our listed personal managers. We look forward to working more closely with our listed personal managers to further the interests of our members," said SAG-AFTRA Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
While the important role of personal managers has continued to grow in the industry, the union has never formally established a working relationship with the personal management community. However, SAG-AFTRA's daily interactions with both members and the personal management community have clearly indicated a desire and need for closer ties. Creating the Code of Ethics and Conduct — an initiative driven by the SAG-AFTRA membership — will provide a safe place for managers and performers to land and helps facilitate their relationship.
"This Code of Ethics and Conduct was conceived and executed by our members," said Zino Macaluso, National Director and Senior Counsel, Professional Representatives. "We are thrilled to release the final document after years of input from our members and the management community. SAG-AFTRA looks forward to establishing a closer, mutually beneficial relationship with this community to advance the needs of all concerned."
"Today marks a great step forward in honest and ethical talent representation," said manager Gerry Pass of Chrome Artists Management. "This is SAG-AFTRA's recognition of the vital work that managers do on behalf of actors, while at the same time we see all talent managers held to a higher standard. This is truly exciting."
Signing the Code of Ethics and Conduct remains completely voluntary and protects both the manager's business and SAG-AFTRA members by deepening the ties between managers and the union. Interested personal managers can download the Code and application and file the necessary documents in order to be listed with the union by visiting the SAG-AFTRA website here. Personal managers who believe their business model mirrors the goals of the Code are encouraged to apply.
The Personal Manager Code of Ethics and Conduct includes preconditions to which managers must agree before signing. Highlights include:
- Putting the member's interests above their own and not deriving personal gain at member's expense.
- Being truthful and acting in an honest, ethical and appropriate manner.
- Acknowledging they will not solicit employment for their client, except under the control and direction of a franchised agent.
- Encouraging SAG-AFTRA member clients to uphold their obligations to the union.
- Keeping SAG-AFTRA member clients' funds segregated in an escrow or trust account.
- Never using self-renewing provisions or collecting upfront/advance fees or charges of any kind.
- Respecting and supporting the relationship SAG-AFTRA members have with their talent agents.
- Not being licensed by any state as a talent or employment agency.
- Assisting a SAG-AFTRA member client's search for a talent agent.
- Agreeing to arbitrate disputes through SAG-AFTRA.
- Personal managers who sign onto the Code of Ethics and Conduct will have their name and information listed on the SAG-AFTRA website, similar to how current franchised agents are listed online.
"The number of benefits we can offer personal managers listed with us is significant and meaningful. We hope interested personal managers will examine the Code and ask questions about both the process and the benefits of affiliation," said Macaluso.
The Code does not, and is not intended to, interfere with any future or existing relationships between members and their managers who are not signatory to the Code, nor does it create a conflict with the union's two franchised agency agreements.

Hickenlooper names former Owens budget director Henry Sobanet to same job
Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper today named a Republican and one of the most experienced hands in state fiscal issues to head his Office of State Planning and Budgeting.
Hickenlooper, a Democrat, named Henry Sobanet, formerly a budget director for Republican Gov. Bill Owens, to do the same job for him. Sobanet shepherded the state budget through part of of the last recession, and few people in Colorado have as deep an understanding of the state's fiscal challenges.
"There is no secret pot of money to help solve the state's well-documented budget shortfalls," Hickenlooper said in a statement. "Henry Sobanet knows his way around the state budget, and will be an important part of our team as we work to recover from this historic economic downturn."
Also today, Hickenlooper named current budget director Todd Saliman as a "senior adviser" to help guide the administration's budget and policy efforts for the next several months, and he nominated Regge Bicha, a former Wisconsin state official, to be his executive director the state Department of Human Services.

Tech Update
New Grinding Coolant Prevents Rust Buildup in Grinding Machines
Relief came with the recent switch to RPA 560, a water-dilutable corrosion inhibitor from Chemtool Inc., Crystal Lake, IL. After running RPA 560 for a couple of weeks, as a rust inhibitor and coolant, Griffin Wheel noted a dramatic change inside the grinder—significantly less buildup inside the machine, eliminating the need to perform any inside maintenance on the grinding machine. Also, Griffin uses RPA 560 at only a three percent concentration. In the end, the switch saves the firm $12,000 in labor and $20,000 in solution annually.

Nobody's best effort.....
Diane Mott Davidson's "Goldy Bear" series is the most uneven of any of the contemporary cozy detective series. A few are absolutely excellent, a couple are perfectly dreadful, and the majority are spread throughout the middle somewhere, neither remarkably good or bad. Except for the recipes. Those are ALWAYS good.
This one's in the middle, tending toward the 'not so good' side. For one thing, there's very little catering going on, which is the key element for me, anyway, the part I most enjoy. Not only that, there's not even much murder going on. What we have, instead, is Goldy holding forth, for dozens of minutes at a time, all about the evils of her former husband, "the Jerk". That's half the book. The other half is Goldy obsessing about her annoying son again, "Arch", certainly the most spoiled child in all of literature. There are times I swear she's just watching the kid -- who must be in his early teens -- minute by minute, to make sure he draws another breath. Enough, already! Goldy and 'the Jerk' have been divorced for several years, Goldy herself is remarried. At times I felt like taking her by the shoulders, shaking her, and saying, 'Get on with it!' Forget him! He's gone!" There's a real pathology there, her hanging unto all the hurts from that past relationship, ready to repeat them all, again and again, at the drop of a hat to anyone who will listen. And in an auciobook, that would be us.
I won't get started on "Arch" the son again. Suffice it to say that she's convinced both herself and Arch that the world revolves around him, and that whatever else is going on in the world -- or in their own lives -- her first obligation (which she actually says, believe it of not) is to make sure that he's happy. I can't wait to see what prison he'll be sent to when he grows up. That mother-son relationship is sick, just sick.
Even Barbara Rosenblat doesn't make this one come alive. She's my favorite female reader, and in other series (Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon books especially) she just shines and makes each book much better than it would have been, had someone else been narrating. But even she falls short this time -- not her best, either. Goldy is just annoying in this book and there isn't much the narrator can do about it.
On the upside, there is SOME catering, and that's always fun. The recipes are good -- in fact, at one point Goldy was making a cheese sandwich for someone -- fresh baked brioche, chevre, fresh tomatoes and pesto -- that sounded so good I had to run to the grocery store so I could make one of my own. Delish!
If you haven't read any of the "Goldy Bear" books before, don't start with this one. Others are much better -- actually the best of the lot is the very first, 'Dying for Chocolate', also available on Audible. This book just isn't anybody's best work.

And Life Goes On
If you consider that I fell asleep with ear buds in my ears a fact that I couldn't stop listening you'd be right.
I have always enjoyed Miss G's attitude toward life. I know when I listen more often I tend to mimic her bravery and "can do" fierceness.
Ms Davidson has captured this cast of characters and bootleg them up. She just takes the top off to let the aroma of suspense and mystery float around the room long enough to begin her next book. As inspiration wans the bottle opens.
I can't wait to read the next one. You can read out of order but only by one or two books. More than that and you could miss an entire character.

Solid storyline, but our heroine is a pushover
I love Diane Mott Davidson's books, but the way she accepts the apparent kick me sign tattooed on her back is so frustrating. Also, when is she going to put her son in his proper place?

good book
I have this book with a different narrator, Barbara Rosenblat has done so many of these books, she real grows on you with her personality and depth. also, there is no music between chapters!!! the rest of the review is below...
the music was annoying. good storyline, and well thought out plot. the main character lucked into solving the crime, and again, spent too much time talking to the murderer to have a psychology degree.

Not One of Her Best
I was part way through this book when I realized that I had already read the abridged version a few years ago. What the heck, I thought, let's do it. However, I cannot relate to a character who, after all these years, cannot see her way past the abuse of her ex-husband. I also strongly resent letting her son talk to her that way just so he can still have a good opinion of his father. I will listen to the next one in the series with some trepidation.

Degrees of abuse
Enjoyable listen as the previous books. The story was a little thin but it came together in the end. My main complaint is how the son follows the father in abusing the mother. It may not be physical, but mental and verbal abuse is just as bad and someone should be teaching that lesson. Over all we enjoyed listening to Barbara Rosenblats narration. On to "Prime Cut".

Difference between revisions of "ARCLoad"
(Make the list of supported machines exhaustive)
m (SGI Category)
|Line 134:
|Line 134:
Latest revision as of 10:58, 18 October 2010
ARCLoad was built to load any Linux kernel on any SGI/ARCS machine. It currently supports:
- IP22: SGI Indy, SGI Indigo2, SGI Challenge S
- IP27: SGI Origin200, SGI Origin2000, Onyx2
- IP28: SGI Indigo2 R10000
- IP30: SGI Octane, SGI Octane2
Paths and filesystems
Filesystem support in ARCLoad is based on GNU GRUB filesystem code. The approach taken is somewhat more general than the common one (disk - filesystem - file), namely there is no difference between a partition and a file. This means that filesystems can be nested (e.g. loading kernels from ISO images). Kernels and configuration files are also loadable from the DVH (Disk Volume Header). ARCLoad can also load kernels from a TFTP server, so a network-based install is possible.
A file path is defined as:
<file path> := <arc path> | <file path> '[' <fs name> ']' <fs path>
where possible values for the filesystem name are: ext2, fat, iso9660, jfs, minix, ufs, xfs (not all have been tested, ext2 is the best bet). There is also an [*arcfs] pseudo-filesystem that maps directly onto the ARC firmware path space, and is automatically used when no filesystem name is supplied.
Therefore, an kernel on the root partition can be accessed by:
It is possible to load a kernel directly from the DVH:
A surprising, but very useful feature is netbooting via TFTP:
ARCLoad is always built into a relocatable binary: ELF64 on 64-bit platforms, ECOFF on 32-bit platforms. ARCLoad has its own ELF32 to ECOFF converter in the source package.
Configuration file
The text configuration file is named 'arc.cf' and loaded from the place pointed to by the OSLoadPartition environment variable. ARCLoad reads the file and executes it in order. The configuration file is structured into options that can be nested. Comments begin with a '#' and are discarded (duh). Options are selected by the OSLoadFilename environment variable.
An option looks like this:
feature1 feature2 { # code for any of the features }
The code inside the braces will be executed only if any of the features listed are found in the current feature set. Think of the option as an alternate syntax of a conditional statement. Therefore,
feature1 { feature2 { # code for both features } }
realizes an AND Boolean operator.
There are several statements allowed both inside the options and outside them. All statements are terminated with a semicolon (';'). They will be executed in-order. The list of valid statements is given below:
Performs hardware autodetection. The current feature set will be replaced with the autodetected one. Detected features include: software architecture (ip22, ip27, ip28, ip30, ip32), SMP-ness (smp, up), console type (serial, video), video resolution for graphics console (video=AAAxBBB) and CPU (r4000, r4600, r4700, r5000, rm5200, rm7000, r10000, r12000).
comment "Something to be displayed...\r\n";
Comments are displayed when the list option is given. They allow writing self-documenting ARCLoad configuration files.
description "Option description";
Descriptions are displayed with the names of respective options when the list option is given.
image "filename"; image system "/filename"; image absolute "filename";
Sets the kernel image to be loaded. If "filename" is empty (""), the option is deemed to be unsupported. The system option directs ARCLoad to prepend the contents of OSLoadPartition to the filename, while the absolute option exists only for completeness as it is the same as default.
append "arg1" "arg2";
Appends arguments to the kernel command line.
options "arg1" "arg2";
Replaces the kernel command line with the given arguments.
If any kernel image is assigned during the configuration file parsing, ARCLoad will attempt to load the image. Otherwise, it will signal an error and return to the interactive PROM command line.
Downloading and building
ARCLoad can be found at Linux-MIPS. Building it requires only a single setting in the Makefile: the MODE. If it is set to M64, a 64-bit ARCLoad binary will be built (for ip27, ip28 and ip30). If it is set to M32, a 32-bit ARCLoad binary will be built (for ip22 and ip32). It is possible to place those binaries under the names of 'sash64' and 'sashARCS', respectively; in this case, it will be possible to use the Install New Software option in ARCS PROM to run the appropriate binary on any SGI machine.
There is a patch for gcc < 4.2 (see also GCC PR 25871), that causes ARCLoad to skip the warning message on startup on M64 machines. It is related to a particularly obscure bug in GCC that affected nested function calls by function variable on 64-bit MIPS systems which don't use compatibility segments. This bug has been fixed in gcc >= 4.2.
As mentioned above, kernels are loaded from the location specified by the OSLoadPartition environment variable (if image system is used), and options are selected using the OSLoadFilename environment variable. The loaders mentioned above ('sash64' or 'sashARCS') needs to also be set in the OSLoader environment variable, this should be default, however if it could have changed.
Suppose you have an arc.cf like the following:
append "root=/dev/sda3"; append "ro"; append "console=ttyS0,9600"; ip28 { working { description "Known Working Kernel"; image system "/working"; } new { description "Freshly Built Kernel"; image system "/new"; } debug { description "Debug Shell"; append "init=/bin/bash"; } }
To boot the "working" option, this would be done in the PROM like so:
setenv OSLoadFilename ip28(working) boot
Or for the "new" option
setenv OSLoadFilename ip28(new)
Multiple options may be selected... e.g.
setenv OSLoadFilename ip28(new,debug)

Shopping for fabric online has opened up a world of possibilities. Many more fabrics are available at our fingertips now then when one only had the option of shopping locally. But that doesn't mean that buying fabrics from an online retailed comes without questions. Will it look like the picture when it arrives? Are the colors accurate? Will I like it? Will it feel the way I imagined?
To help put my mind at ease when making a big fabric purchase is to order a sample whenever possible sometimes the fabric to no fault of the retailer will just not be the same as you imagined. Of course this isn't always possible.
Another way I calm the questions swirling in my head is to order from some of my favorite tried a true retailers. Happy fabric shopping!
Fabric guru is a recent favorite find. They sell name brand fabric at discounted prices. One I scored a major find with my bedroom curtain fabric which I bought as a second for $6.00 a yard. Their inventory tends to change often so if I see something I like I snag it as quick as possible. (Fabric guru sources 1. 2. 3.)
Update: I just received a coupon for fabricguru, use coupon code fall4 during the checkout process for 20% off your entire purchase good through November 12, 2012
Lewis and Sharon Textiles is another wonderful source for fabrics they have a great selection and beautiful fabrics they tend to be a tad more on the expensive side than some of the other fabric places I mention here but nothing outrageous. (Lewis and Sharon Textiles sources 1. 2. 3.)
If you're looking for a few modern or eco friendly fabrics Tonic Living is your place to shop. They also offer custom curtains and pillows made form the fabrics they sell which is a great option if you're not handy with the sewing machine. (Tonic Living sources 1. 2. 3.)
Online Fabric Store is another site I tend to visit frequently they have a great resource for upholstery fabric and supplies. If you're looking to recover a piece of furniture and need some supplies they're a great one stop shop. (Online Fabric Store source 1. 2. 3.)
Fabric.com offers tons of choices for those looking for fabric. They offer great budget solutions if you're looking for fabric with not such a steep budget. They ship fast and cheap which is always a plus. (Fabric.com sources 1. 2. 3.)
Etsy the retailer made famous for selling handmade wares is also a great place to find fabric supplies. Some shops sell designer fabric that would only be offered to the trade otherwise. There's also a large one of a kind vintage pieces of fabric for sale. If I'm looking for a one of the kind piece that doesn't require large quantities Etsy is the place I go to look. (Etsy sources 1. 2. 3.)
eBay the flagship auction house is another great resource I frequent often to find quality fabrics at a discount. However the retailers on the site can vary greatly in reviews, shipping rates and return policies . To combat the uncertainty I stick to quality eBay store with highly positive reviews and sound return policies. (eBay sources 1. 2. 3.)
Spoonflower is an up and comer in the fabric market you can create your own custom designs or order yards of fabric from a number of creative minds. I like Spoonflower for their bright colorful prints and unique designs. (Spoonflower sources (1. 2. 3.)
