Peter H. Moles
Peter's vision, skill and incredible craftsmanship were the foundation of his restoration of Adirondack Great Camps leading to the creation of Cascade Builders. Beyond his ability to create these stunning homes, he was able to translate peoples ideas and dreams into reality and works of art. His knowledge and sensitivity allowed him to bring together many different perspectives and orchestrate a common goal while bringing out the very best talents of all his tradespeople.
In the words of his niece Kristy Moles, Peter was "a successful, brilliantly gifted artist and builder; a kind, generous, motivated and unconditionally loving father and the absolute love of my Aunt Patty's life. A genuine guy with his head dreaming in the clouds and his feet firmly planted in reality. He had a perfect sense of humor that included child-like practical jokes, killer sarcasm and lovely inappropriateness."
Peter's heart was in the mountains where he loved to ski, teach skiing and compete with friends in events at Mount Van Hoevenberg. His sense of adventure drove him to Hood River, Oregon, where he could share his love of windsurfing and kiting with his family and friends.
A celebration of Peter's life will take place at the Lake Placid Club Golf House on Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 6 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Thomas Shipman Youth Center P.O. Box 1122, Lake Placid, NY 12946.

By Peter Matthiessen.
Introduction and photographs
by Maurice Hornocker.
185 pp. New York:
North Point Press/
Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $27.
''EVERYONE is connected. Only the tiger is not connected.'' That is what Vladimir Shetinin thinks, and he ought to know. As the commander of a Russian government antipoaching force in a remote area of eastern Siberia, Shetinin was in charge of policing the contested border between tigers and men.
Yet it's an odd statement for Peter Matthiessen to choose as an epigraph for ''Tigers in the Snow,'' his book on Siberian tigers -- a book that carefully maps the myriad, often fatal connections that bind the great cats to the rest of creation. This is true, he shows, not just in overcrowded places like India and Bangladesh but even in Russia's wild east, where the human population averages well below one person per square mile and the Amur tiger (unlike its southerly cousins) is free to roam over vast stretches of territory among the snowy forests that slope toward the Sea of Japan.
These are not fragile animals, to be sure. ''Wherever the species occurs,'' Matthiessen writes, ''the tiger resides at the summit of its ecosystem.'' Amur tigers require 10 pounds of meat every day -- the fresher the better. When they attack humans, as they sometimes do, search parties rarely recover more than a few bloody scraps. (Over the past four centuries, according to Matthiessen, Asian tigers are believed to have killed about a million people.) They are also amazingly versatile creatures, ''equally well adapted to temperate woodlands and tropical rain forest, marine mangrove forest and long-grass Himalayan foothills, riverine thicket and the vast reed beds of western Asia's inland seas.''
But the tigers' perch at the top of the food chain is exactly what makes them vulnerable. When forests are logged and deer and elk are hunted to scarcity, the great cats silently vanish. The story has repeated itself across Asia. Over the past few decades, at least three of the eight tiger subspecies have become extinct. There are now almost as many tigers living on rich people's ranches in Texas (some 2,000) as there are in the wild in India, which is thought to shelter the world's largest free-ranging population. Visiting the few scattered habitats that remain, Matthiessen finds the situation even bleaker than others have reported. In Southeast Asia, villagers use homemade land mines to kill tigers. In China -- where, a few decades ago, Mao Zedong waged a national campaign to eradicate them as ''pests'' -- the few that remain are hunted to provide curative delicacies like tiger penis soup.
The region of eastern Siberia where Matthiessen concentrates his story was not even explored by Europeans until less than a century ago. And just 10 years ago, the Soviet authorities still kept it effectively off limits. Now, though, it has -- like everywhere else on earth, more or less -- become ''connected.'' American logging companies, among others, are carving out choice fillets of territory for clear-cutting, blissfully out of sight of the spotted-owl-huggers. (Russia has some 58 percent of the world's coniferous forests, compared with 11 percent in the United States.) And the homegrown mafiya has been quick to seize on the commercial potential of poaching. Within a couple of years in the early 1990's, more than a third of the native tigers were exterminated.Continue reading the main story
Siberia's newly porous borders have also, however, admitted a team of American scientists, who in 1992 established a permanent presence in the area, the Siberian Tiger Project, whose researchers are the heroes of Matthiessen's tale. Thanks to them, the tiger population has rebounded somewhat. The Chinese, perhaps too late, are gradually being weaned off tiger penis soup in favor of mole rat wine (and, one suspects, Viagra). And the scientists have managed to learn more about the elusive tigers by doing all the familiar things that scientists do: chasing them down with tranquilizer darts, fitting them with radio collars, giving them cute names (Olga, Katia, Kolya). So now even these mysterious beasts in the secret heart of Asia are plugged in.
MANY readers who buy this book will no doubt be looking for a sequel to Matthiessen's 1978 classic, ''The Snow Leopard,'' that profound meditation on wildness and civilization, animals and humans. However, ''Tigers in the Snow'' is distinctly minor-key Matthiessen -- always lucid, often sad and affecting, but less frequently poetic. The old Matthiessen, one feels, would have felt the poignancy of chasing after radio-tracked tigers in a helicopter. This Matthiessen more or less just settles back and enjoys the ride.
Wherever the species still hangs on in the wild, the animal at the summit of the ecosystem is no longer Panthera tigris, but rather Homo sapiens. And now that we've supplanted them in that lofty and precarious place, perhaps we can learn something from their fate. Like the powerful and versatile tigers, humans depend on a whole complex web of life to sustain us. We share their habitat, just as they share our future.Continue reading the main story

OSS/Linux Sound Driver
Manufacturer: 4Front Technologies
Price: $20 US
Reviewer: Jeff Tranter
Open Sound System (OSS) is a kernel-level sound card driver offered for a number of Unix-compatible operating systems by 4Front Technologies. OSS/Linux is the version for Linux systems. It's not surprising that Linux is supported, as the code was based on, and is compatible with, the sound driver included in the Linux kernel. The code is written by the same author, Hannu Savolainen, who continues to maintain the free version (OSS/Free).
I took advantage of 4Front Technologies' free trial offer to download and run the product for five days. If you decide to purchase it you receive a software license key that allows the software to run permanently.
I also downloaded the latest release of OSS/Linux (3.8-beta1-961205). I installed the software on a 166 MHz Pentium system with 32 megabytes of RAM running Red Hat Linux 4.0 and the 2.0.28 kernel. The sound card was a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 (Plug-and-Play version).
The package comes as a compressed tar file containing installation instructions and an install program. To install the software you have to run the install program as root. This invokes a curses-based user interface that helps you install and configure the driver for the sound card. I found it straightforward to use; my sound card and settings were all automatically detected. The install program noticed that I had the standard Linux kernel sound driver module installed and informed me that I needed to disable it. Deleting the kernel-loadable module for sound did the trick.
Once installed, the sound driver is loaded using the supplied soundon script. The driver is implemented as several loadable kernel modules. A soundoff script unloads the driver, if desired. Once loaded you can then run any of the existing Linux sound applications.
I tried a number of sound applications to play and record sound samples, play MIDI and MOD files and operate the mixer. In general, everything operated identically to the standard sound driver included with the Linux kernel. It provides control of the DSP device, FM synthesizer, mixer and MIDI bus interface.
I did find one bug. Apparently the MIDI driver didn't clean up resources it used. If it was unloaded, loading again would report that the I/O port was in use. I reported this to Tech Support by e-mail and received a response back within a few hours.
I downloaded the beta release of OSS/Linux in order to try a new feature, SoftOSS. To understand it, you need some background on how computers synthesize sound.
The first generation of computer sound cards used a technique called FM synthesis to generate computer music. This method is low in cost and requires little CPU power, but the music generated sounds like it was created by a computer and not a musical instrument.
Sampling techniques use a digital-to-analog converter to generate sound. This method can be very effective, as the sound of actual musical instruments can be digitized and used as samples. The disadvantage is that the digital-to-analog converters are expensive, so sound cards typically provide only one or two. Typical low end sound cards today provide both sampling and FM synthesis capability.
Wavetable synthesis cards combine the best of both techniques. They offer a number of channels (32 being typical). Each channel has its own digital-to-analog converter and dedicated memory on the sound card for storing sound samples. Hardware on the sound card does much of the work of mixing and playing the samples. The only disadvantage of wavetable cards is that the additional hardware makes them considerably more expensive. One such card, the Gravis UltraSound, is supported by the standard Linux kernel sound driver.
SoftOSS provides software emulation of wavetable synthesis using only a low cost (non-wavetable) sound card. It does so by using the spare memory and processing power of the host computer. By implementing at the kernel level the same application programming interface as the Gravis Ultrasound card, it allows existing applications written for this card to work with low end sound cards. The only catch is that you need adequate memory and CPU power, but most systems today can meet this requirement (a 40MHz 486 with 16MB of RAM was the minimum needed for the pre-release software I reviewed).
I configured the SoftOSS driver using the setting for Pentium 100+ machines and tried using some Linux applications that previously required a Gravis Ultrasound wavetable sound card.
The gmod program is a player for music files in MOD format. It operated quite well. This was not particularly impressive, because there are a number of MOD players for non-wavetable cards (e.g., tracker) that work just as well with the standard kernel sound driver.
Playing MIDI files was more interesting. MIDI is a very popular music file format among musicians, but MIDI file players I've come across before used the FM synthesizer on my sound card. Using SoftOSS, the playmidi program, and sound sample "patch" files downloaded from the Internet, there was a dramatic improvement in sound quality as compared to using FM synthesis. It actually sounded like real musical instruments.
Note that at the time of writing, SoftOSS was still in a pre-release beta state, and may be an extra cost option when purchasing OSS/Linux. For a beta release it looked quite stable, the only problem being some minor glitches in the sound produced.

Painless Dentistry in Zuni NM 87327
Before, dental implant procedures lasted for several months and people had to wait for months for them to get dental implants supported fix teeth or denture. This is no longer the case. Nowadays you can get permanent implants in as little as one day.
Who should undertake the same day dental implants procedure?
Anyone can undertake the procedure. Whether you have lost one tooth, a few teeth, or all of your teeth you should undertake the Painless Dentistry Zuni NM 87327 procedure and the professional will give you a beautiful smile in just a few hours.
The cool thing about the procedure is that the implant supported teeth don't interfere with your stomatognathic system. This means they don't interfere with your jaw joints, nerves, and muscles. Since you will be replacing your teeth permanently, you don't have to worry about your teeth coming off every now and then.

How the same day dental implants work
If you are interested in the implants you should visit your local dental clinic and the dentist will analyze your situation and come up with a plan on how to fix the problem. The dentist goes ahead and designs your new set of teeth using the 3D scan and plan pathway. Once the design is complete, the doctor installs the implants on your Zuni NM 87327 jaw bone.
Depending on your clinical case, the dentist will place 4, 5 or even 6 implants on your jaw. The technology takes advantage of the existing bone; therefore, if you have scarce bones in your teeth you don't have to undergo bone grafting and sinus lifts. The implant dentist will place the implants in your pterygoid bone which means that the new teeth are more stable thus giving you a great service for a Zuni NM 87327 long time. The implants are made from titanium which fuses with the bone through osseointegration. This stabilizes the new implants further. After the dentist has inserted the implants then put abutment, he attaches the fixed bridges to the abutment and you can use your new teeth just like you would use your regular teeth.
Success of the same day dental implant procedure
The success of the procedure depends on the dentist who undertakes it. This is Zuni NM 87327 why it's important for you to take your time to research and find a reputable and experienced professional to undertake the procedure.

IT was deep twilight as we drove, exhausted, across the summit of the coastal ridge and made a switchback as the last light was fading over the western horizon of the Atlantic. In the distance, the lights were just coming on in the walled city of Essaouira, but it was still bright enough to make out the silhouettes of the ruined buildings on the prison island of Mogador in the harbor; indigo phantoms on a sapphire sea.
We had driven just over 100 miles due west of Marrakesh, fleeing the thousands of short-shorted tourists and snake charmers and caftan salesmen, looking for sunshine and a salt-swept dose of history. The guidebooks had told us about this sardine-fishing, blue- and white-painted village; about eating fresh-caught fish that costs next to nothing, grilled while-you-wait along the docks; about Jack's postcard kiosk in the square, where lonesome American tourists send faxes home for $6 a page.
When we arrived, my friend and I were seeking the Cap Sim, a hotel -- we were to learn to use the word loosely -- recommended by the concierge at the Sherazade, a delightful pension down several alleys near the grand square in Marrakesh.
In Essaouira at last, we paid an attendant what he asked -- $1.50 a day -- to watch our car for the three days we wanted to stay. (''Watching the car'' is a major occupation for much of this country's young and not so young, and, yes, there is an implied threat that something bad could happen to your car if you don't pay.) We then hired another young man, Said, to lead us down a labyrinth of fast-darkening passages to the Cap Sim, where we asked the price: $15 a night, at 9 dirham to the dollar -- the few rooms with baths for $24 were occupied.
Our room was a cubicle with a double bed and a plywood box with a curtain for a closet, and one shuttered ''window'' overlooking the interior court. It was just a step up from a youth hostel, but it would be for only one night. The next morning, we agreed, we would be checking into the romantic-sounding Villa Maroc, which we'd read about in the guidebooks. We'd tried to call from Fez but, for some reason, never got through.Continue reading the main story
So, treating the whole thing as yet another adventure (after all, could this be as bad as my losing the rental car keys in the Roman ruins of Volubilis?), we headed for one of the seafood restaurants toward the end of the pier, where we chose some red fish listlessly swimming around in a big tank of muddy water. As we ambled home in the pitch dark, we could make out groups of men on the quay, busily smoking and mending their nets, as the surf thrashed around the breakwater.
The morning dawned bright. There was no hot water at the Cap Sim, but we didn't care. We headed for the Place Moulay el Hassan, Essaouira's main square, gleefully instructing the concierge in high school French to get our bill ready.
After quick and cheap cafes au lait in the square, we dashed to the Villa Maroc, just around the corner, to book our room. The white-washed facade with bright blue trim was subtle, there was just a small sign, but inside we felt as if we'd stumbled into a boutique hotel off the Faubourg St.-Honore. There was a small lobby with a burnished center table, topped by a silver vase overflowing with yellow and red roses. We asked to be shown around.
A porter led us to a wonderful room on the second floor, decked out with colorful bed hangings and rugs. On the next floor, we glanced up and spotted the Chambre de la Tour, where a cleaning woman was shaking out starchy white sheets. It was not so much a room as a penthouse sky box: the three arched windows overlooked the bay and the battlements. The clerk said that the room, at the top of its own set of steep plaster stairs, was not for everyone: there is no private bath and the shower is on the floor below, private but in the open air, behind a skimpy partition. And the room itself, although possessing the best view in the city, was not much bigger than the double bed it contained. But we loved it, and its price: $60. The more luxurious second floor accommodations were $67.
But the price didn't matter. We couldn't have either of them. If the management had only known such distinguished visitors had desired to stay at their humble hostelry . . . , the clerk droned. Translation: no room.
We were crushed. Where else then? We girded ourselves for another night at the Cap Sim. The young woman at the desk laughed. We were perfectly welcome to stay another night, she said in French. We could even have the same room.
We took to the parapets. Built in the late 18th century by Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdullah (and designed by a French engineer he had captured), the town ramparts are in remarkable condition, with superb bronze cannons, some dark green with burnished patina and Portuguese crests; booty from long-ago wars. These days, Essaouira is a friendly place, called the ''blue and white town'' by Moroccans for its white-washed buildings trimmed and shuttered in the brilliant azure blue of its skies.
The town has always been a place for artists and musicians, and down the side streets off the main square are several small art galleries with paintings that try, mostly in vain, to capture the romantic vision at the end of the town's great scimitar of a beach. Instead of seeking the imitations, we decided to explore the beach front itself. We threw on some bathing suits, donned our newly bought djellabas and set off for the eroded ruins of the Palace Dar Soltane, made famous in the 1960's when Jimi Hendrix wrote a song about it, ''Castles Made of Sand.''
We passed a lighthouse with Moroccan touches; it looked almost like a mosque. We were soon alone, and getting closer to the ruins. But others were there before us: one couple was kissing passionately in the middle of the ruins and a passel of youths smoked and stage-whispered behind. We nestled down in front, and tried to ignore everything but the waves breaking hundreds of feet farther out. My friend decided to brave the surf and, just as he started his hike to the water, a camel driver, trailed by a mother camel and its baby, passed by on his way home after a hard day of carrying vacationing Moroccans. (In Essaouira in March, there are very few foreign tourists, in contrast to Agadir 100 miles to the south.) He tossed me a wan, vaguely questioning look, then smiled with relief when I shook my head no. Next, one of the guys from around the back of the castle materialized out of nowhere (it's hard to hear footsteps in the sand), and asked if I could spare a cigarette. I said I didn't smoke. I thought he was going to ask me for money, but he surprised me. He asked if I had ever been to Brooklyn.
The walk back seemed longer than the way out. One elderly man was taking a dip; he was the only person actually swimming. The rest ignored the water: teenaged boys played sand soccer and little Moroccan girls, all dressed up in party frocks, walked demurely with their mothers, well away from the laughing, shouting athletes.
BACK at the Cap Sim, we noticed that there was a basket full of cards for the Cafe Taros, which turned out to be one of the best restaurants we visited in Morocco and one we never would have found on our own. There was a rooftop patio, and a skylighted drawing room with tiled tables and carpet-covered banquettes, lined on three sides with books. We initially asked for drinks and appetizers, but after a smorgasbord of Moroccan crudites -- and a glass of excellent port for $2 -- we decided to see what the Taros could do with the omnipresent chicken and lemon tagine. Sure enough, it was not the usual dry chicken breast with a dollop of lemon and onion sauce; the chicken had obviously been marinated in the lemon mixture, and the moist dish was redolent of the country's best spices -- for $7. Our fellow diners were also a treat: to our left was an elegant Vietnamese woman, surrounded by a party of French men, all trying to outdo each other for her attention. To our left, two rather prim-looking women both wearing sturdy brogues were reading and not talking, oblivious to the gaiety a few tables away.
We also noticed the shops on the street below the Taros; the next day we came back to browse through the jewelry emporiums, which sold some silver pieces with multicolored beads; a type we hadn't seen before. But the prices were exorbitant -- about $125 for an elaborate necklace -- and we were bargained out.
Essaouira has the usual array of stalls selling carpets and tinware, but the town is the point of origin for most of the veneered woodenware in the country. It's fun to visit the antique woodcarving souk along the Rue Sqala, where small shops are built into the ramparts and feature items made of thuya wood, a type of scrub oak that grows in the nearby Atlas Mountains. Here, even the marked prices are about a third of those in Rabat: small boxes, trays, frames, obelisks, inlaid with ebony and lemon wood. (Small boxes, for instance, were about $2 here, compared with $8 in Rabat -- where we had, alas, bought about a dozen for gifts.) Making the boxes has been a principal handicraft for generations.
Just before we drove off for Casablanca, and the airport, we strolled down to see the boat builders one last time. In a very small place by the breakwater at least 20 trawlers were being refitted, scraped and painted a raucous variety of colors: oranges, blues and greens. We walked under the precariously looming teak hulls; one pair of tourists was eating a box lunch, perched on a pile of freshly cut lumber. Toward the water's edge, several new boats were being built from the keel up. There was even a small sawmill on the pier. In the midst of all this activity, sardine fishermen were docking, and dragging out their nets; around noon, the vendors started hawking their fresh-cooked fish. (About $2 apiece if you order from the menu; we got conned by the waiter into trying the red snapper. We didn't ask the price and it turned out to be closer to $10.)
At the end of our three days, we didn't need to discuss it: we liked Essaouira better than any place else we visited during our 10-day trip to Morocco. The shopping wasn't as good as it was in Marrakesh -- and maybe if we had gone to Essaouira first, we would have felt we were missing something (the snake charmers and caftan salesmen, maybe, but certainly not the tourists in short shorts). But we didn't, and Essaouira was just the antidote: a fresh, vibrant place without the beggars and would-be tour guides who haunted us in Marrakesh.
When we go back, we want to hire a boatman to row us to the Mogador Islands. We want to hire donkeys and trek in the High Atlases, a couple of hours to the east.
And afterward, at least a week in the Chambre de la Tour.
At leisure by the water
The most delightful things in Essaouira are free, or almost free. Climb into a recess in the fortifications and gaze across the bay. Walk down to the beach and watch boat builders while snacking on fresh grilled fish.

Chef Tim McKee Presents Sustainable Seafood
2009 James Beard award winner Chef Tim McKee designed the core menu for Sea Change which focuses on sustainable seafood, highlighting fisheries that use environmentally responsible methods of gathering and farming seafood. The menu also includes a number of items under the heading "Not Fish" as well as late night offerings of small plates and raw bar selections.
"I'm very committed to the idea of sustainable seafood," McKee said, "which means buying from fisheries that are dedicated to making sure fish populations are well-managed. We'll be looking at things like catch numbers and gathering methods in choosing our ingredients."
Minneapolis based architectural firm Shea, Inc. also contributed to the restaurant's "green" philosophy. They were able to locate timber from windstorm-felled redwoods, and had the reclaimed raw materials fashioned into furniture. Completing the circuit, Dallas-based Culinaire, Chef McKee's partner in this venture, uses filtered water, available in both flat and sparkling versions, served in washable, reusable carafes rather than contribute to the carbon footprint made by plastic or glass disposable bottles

Bustles, Polka Dots Offer Treat for Paris Fashionistas
How do you produce a sure-fire blockbuster exhibition?
Here's the recipe: You gang up with other museums, bring together 60 masterpieces by popular painters, add an equal number of beautiful dresses and have the whole thing staged by a seasoned set designer.
That's exactly what the Musee d'Orsay has done.
"Impressionism and Fashion" has been organized jointly with New York's Metropolitan Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, where the show will travel next year. Most of the costumes come from the Musee Galliera and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, France's leading fashion collections.
The title isn't quite correct. For sure, the exhibition is dominated by the pillars of Impressionism -- Manet, Monet, Degas and Renoir.
Yet there are also plenty of others who have little or nothing to do with that school -- slick society painters such as Charles Carolus-Duran, James Tissot and Alfred Stevens and even some "pompiers" (firemen) as the French like to call 19th- century academic artists.
Matching Dresses
The organizers haven't tried to track down costumes that directly correspond to those on the canvases. They contented themselves with dresses from the same period (1860-85).
The only exception is the polka-dot gown Madame Albert Bartholome is wearing in a portrait painted by her husband. You can admire original and copy side by side.
Robert Carsen, the set designer who staged the show, has created a playful maze of corridors and rooms of various sizes.
In one room, you find rows of gilded chairs, each with the name of a famous contemporary -- including the "grandes horizontales" Cora Pearl and Marie Duplessis, the model of "La Dame aux Camelias." (In fact, Marie belonged to an earlier period: She died of consumption in 1847.)
The paintings are grouped thematically, according to the surroundings in which the women appear -- in their living rooms, bedrooms, in public or in the country.
Discarded Lingerie
The most amusing picture is Henri Gervex's "Rolla," a splendid nude resting on her bed after a stormy night while her lover, already fully dressed, is watching her.
Although Gervex was a "pompier" with impeccable credentials, the Salon rejected the painting. The jurors didn't mind the naked woman; what shocked them was her discarded underwear carelessly strewn across the floor.
Both the paintings and the costumes demonstrate that the crinoline favored by Empress Eugenie gradually disappeared and was replaced by the "cul de Paris," or bustle.
The gentleman of the time loved his lady dressed in layers of silk and velvet with a wasp waist and a protruding bust and bottom.
Fans, hats, gloves and other accessories complement the costumes.
Men's fashion, much less varied and mostly somber, plays second fiddle in the exhibition. Manet, Renoir and their fellow artists on Henri Fantin-Latour's celebrated canvas "A Studio in Les Batignolles" look as if they were coming from a funeral.
"L'Impressionisme et la Mode" is not a show that will broaden your horizon. It's easy on the eye and easy on the mind. And that's exactly why it will be a tremendous hit.
The exhibition, which is supported by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior SA, runs through Jan. 20, 2013. It will be at the Metropolitan Museum from Feb. 19 to May 27, and at the Art Institute of Chicago from June 29 to Sept. 22, 2013.

Our nation's leading pundits can always be expected to act like the gentlemen-scholars they are, especially while riding public transportation. That's why CNN fringe-right psychopath Erick "RedState" Erickson has just been twittering important eyewitness accounts of bestselling conventional-wisdom hack Thomas Friedman allegedly being a total asshole to some poor Amtrak employee, who apparently didn't dispose of Friedman's tampon quickly enough.
Oh but Erick Erickson was not done with his virtual shooting of government employees just yet! He would not stop a-twattin' until he named Friedman, by name!
Could we please go back to dueling? Imagine how our nation would thrill to an Erick Erickson-Thomas Friedman pistol duel on the banks of the Hudson … especially if you told our nation it was actually going to be, we don't know, maybe a lesbian wrestling match between that Lady Gaga and … some other Lady entertainer from Twitter. Lady Thatcher? [Twitter via Wonkette operative "Brian M."]

In a report on the terrorism bill, Terror bill ping-pong etc, page 5, March 23, we mistakenly said that the vote in the House of Lords was 172-111. In fact, the vote on March 22 was 172-60, a majority of 112. We said that "Tony Blair suffered his first Commons defeats [plural] on other clauses in it". In fact, the only defeat came in respect of 90-day pre-charge detention. We also stated that the glorification provision was originally passed in the Commons by one vote. In fact, as Baroness Scotland's speech on March 22 made clear, the first Commons vote on glorification produced a government majority of 16. The one-vote majority related to the issue of intent in the bill.
In our obituary of Winifred Cornwell, page 36, March 20, we said that she was one of the first two women medical students to graduate from St Mary's Hospital, London, in the 1950s. In fact, there was a much earlier group of graduates. The hospital archivist writes: "In 1915, students from the London School of Medicine for Women were admitted to do their clinical studies at St Mary's as a wartime measure since there was a shortage of male medical students. This arrangement lasted until 1924 when St Mary's reverted to being a male school after protests from the men about the feminisation of the school and the consequent emasculation of the rugby team. Only after the second world war in 1948 were all the London medical schools, including St Mary's, compelled to take a quota of women students."

|Reviews for Sabotage
| Agreed chapter 4 . 3/20/2011
I completely agree with the last poster. This story is amazing. Completely amazing. Louis, Twitty and Ren were all very in character and the Twitty/Ren conversation in chapter 4 played like a real episode. I could really see it happen—seriously visualize it—and, over all, I loved your fic. Please please please please pleeeeaaaseee continue it!
On another note, I'm seriously curious as to why all the ES fanfics just stopped in 2008? It appeared to be popular until then and then BOOM! No more were updated. Perhaps yours would be the first?
| PauAuNaleyDarvey chapter 4 . 3/17/2011
I know it may be hard because it's been years but please finish this story. There are really rare number of Ren/Twitty fanfics and i happen to love yours please complete it.
| LucyCamdenFanatic chapter 1 . 7/29/2008
Yay, I love Twitty and Ren and I'm glad to see another story about them.
| JusThatDangGo0d chapter 1 . 3/28/2008
Over all, I thought it was a good story. You really got me going when you were describing how Twitty was afraid of Louis's reaction. The things i would change is make it long, because it seemed like right when i was getting into the story you ended it. So what happened to jason after Louis and Twitty did their plan to get rid of him?
| Jane Roark chapter 1 . 3/26/2008
Hey, I think this is a cute idea and I like the dialogue, but I think you could improve it a bit with more description and imagery. I do like it though, you've kept Louis and Twitty in character pretty well, so good job on that. Looking forward to an update! (and I want to see what old Louis will decide)

Down the Mysterly River is the children's book debut of Bill Willingham, the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel series Fables. Complete with illustrations by Fables artist Mark Buckingham, it is a spirited, highly original tale of adventure, suspense, and everlasting friendship.
Max "the Wolf" is a top notch Boy Scout, an expert at orienteering and a master of being prepared. So it is a little odd that he suddenly finds himself, with no recollection of his immediate past, lost in an unfamiliar wood. Even odder still, he encounters a badger named Banderbrock, a black bear named Walden, and McTavish the Monster (who might also be an old barn cat)--all of whom talk--and who are as clueless as Max.
Before long, Max and his friends are on the run from a relentless group of hunters and their deadly hounds. Armed with powerful blue swords and known as the Blue Cutters, these hunters capture and change the very essence of their prey. For what purpose, Max can't guess. But unless he can solve the mystery of the strange forested world he's landed in, Max may find himself and his friends changed beyond recognition, lost in a lost world…

Olivia Goes to Venice
Who doesn't love Olivia the pig? In the video below author/illustrator Ian Falconer talks about his inspiration for Olivia and her latest adventure in Olivia Goes to Venice.
Paul Mesner Puppets Present Anansi
Our first big summer program at the Bell Center on the MidAmerica Nazarene campus was a great success. The Paul Mesner Puppets presented a show based upon Anansi the Spider stories to a full capacity audience. Anansi worked his wily ways on Snake, Turtle, Elephant, Miss Chicken, and other amusing animal characters. It was a very entertaining performance. If you would like to read more tales of the trickster spider, we have lots of Anansi books at the library.
Our next big program at the Bell Center will be on Wednesday, July 6 at 1:30 p.m. The wonderful storyteller Priscilla Howe will be sharing folktales from around the world. She'll probably be bringing along some puppets of her own too.
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our large programs, we recommend getting there early. We will once again start distributing tickets at the door beginning at 1:15 p.m. Space is limited, and tickets will be given out on a first come, first served basis.
Summer Kick-Off a Big Success!
Despite some early morning showers, it turned out to be a beautiful day for our Summer Reading Kick-Off. We estimate over a thousand people attended our Kick-Off at Frontier Park which marked the beginning our summer activities at the Olathe Public LIbraries. Over 670 children picked up their reading folders, along with teens and adults. The Olathe taiko drum group Ki Daiko perforned for an enthusiastic audience. Alexis from Mahaffie House showed kids how to play some traditional games. Children made tissue flowers, played chess, did 3-legged races, got temporary tattoos, created sidewalk chalk art, played a variety of versions of hopscotch, and more. The Olathe Noon Optimist Club provided refreshing bottles of water. It was a fun way to start the summer. And if you didn't make it to the Kick-Off, you can still pick up a summer reading folder at either Olathe library anytime. Just stop by the Children's Department and ask for a folder.
Book Discussion Groups
Do you enjoy reading and then talking about the books you've read? Then you should consider signing up for one of our Child & Parent Book Discussions. These groups are designed to encourage children and adults to read chapter books together and then come prepared to discuss them with other families. We have one group for kids going into 3rd and 4th grade plus an adult and a second group for kids going into 5th grade plus an adult. The library will provide each participating child with a free copy of the book being discussed.
The first book discussion for 3rd and 4th graders will be on Wednesday, June 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the Indian Creek Branch Library. The book being discussed is The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. Learn about the students and staff at Longfellow School through the eyes of Room 26's pet hamster, Humphrey.
The first discussion for 5th graders will be on Tuesday, June 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Main Library. The book being discussed is Extra Credit by Andrew Clements. This book tells the story of Abby, a girl in Illinois, and Sadeed, a boy in Afghanistan, who become pen pals through a school project. This title is on the list of nominees for the 2011-12 WIlliam Allen White Book Award.
There are still spaces avaiable in both book discussions. You may register at either library or by calling (913) 971-6874. 3rd and 4th graders must pick up their discussion books at the Indian Creek Branch. 5th graders must pick up their books at the Main Library. There will also be book discussions in July. Call the library or visit our website for more information.
Olathe's Friendship City
When you visit the Children's Department at the Main Library this summer, be sure to look up and notice the big red fish hanging from the ceiling. This colorful windsock was a gift from Maebashi, Japan, which is Olathe's Friendship City.
Olathe also has two sister cities: Chur, Switzerland and Ocotlán, Mexico. As we celebrate One World, Many Stories at the library the summer, it's fun to learn about our own city's connections around the world.
Summer Reading Folders Now Available
Yippee! School is out, and that means our summer activities have started here at the library. Summer reading folders may be picked up at either Olathe library anytime between May 31 and August 14.

You can read anything you want. Audiobooks count too! There is no set amount you have to read. We just want you to have fun reading this summer.
Next time you are in the library, stop by the Children's Services desk and ask for a reading folder. We will also give you a free book bag, bookmark, and door hanger featuring out summer theme: One World, Many Stories. Throughout the summer you may collect stickers on the back of your folders. This is just for fun. We will give out a new sticker each week during June and July. Be sure to see if there is a new sticker whenever you visit the library. And last but not least, if you return your folder between August 1 - 15 and show us what you read this summer, you will get to select a free paperback book to keep for your very own! So don't lose your folder.
The sooner you pick up a folder, the sooner you can start logging your summer reading. Be sure to also pick up a flyer that tells about all the fun programs we'll be doing this summer. Find FIdo Fridays will start on June 3! It's going to be a fun summer at the library.

The library's summer hours begin today and will continue through Saturday, August 20. The main change is that the library will close at 8:00 instead of 9:00 on Monday - Thursday evenings. If somone is going to pick you up at closing time, be sure they know we close at 8:00 p.m.

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick
Chris Van Allsburg is probably best known as the author/illustrator of the Caldecott award-winning books Jumanji and The Polar Express, both of which have been made into blockbuster movies. Another of Van Allsburg's lesser known books, but one of his most intriguing, is The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. This picture book consists of a series of unusual drawings featuring only a title and a caption to give clues to their meaning. The stories behind these puzzling images are left to the imagination of the reader.
Through the years since the book's first publication in 1984, many children and adults have created their own stories behind the pictures in The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. The author has created a website where fans of the book can submit their own stories. New stories are posted monthly. There are tips for aspiring young writers, plus you can read some of the best stories submitted by other kids. Click here to visit the website.
In October of this year a new book entitled The Chronicles of Harris Burdick is scheduled to be released. This book will feature stories inspired by the original Harris Burdick drawings by fourteen well-known authors, including such children's favorites as Kate DiCamillo, Lois Lowry, Louis Sachar, Lemony Snicket, and more. I know I am looking forward to reading these stories from the imaginations of some of my favorite authors.
So why not check out The Mysteries of Harris Burdick and see how this book sparks your own imagination? Write a story, create a drawing, or just share this mysterious book together with a friend or loved one.

Scheduling One Time Tasks With AT
Scheduling tasks is a great strength of Linux. Many administrative tasks such as scheduling backups, rotating log files, synchronizing time, etc. are done on a recurring basis with little to no user intervention using cron or anacron.
While cron and anacron facilities are great for recurring tasks, how can a user schedule simple tasks that only need to be run "one time" during the middle of the night or on a future date? The AT command is the answer. AT is one of those commands that a lot of people don't know about but it can be very useful.
AT's commandline syntax makes scheduling those "one time" tasks quick and easy. Let's get started with some examples.

Me, lately.
On the whole I am fluid, entirely comfortable. I love my body, its accidents and unexpected strengths, the things that it can feel, does feel, the things it chases. Sex and wine, laughing as often as I can find a reason, waking up, deep, buried-in-blanket stretches, toes curled, or turning my head to see a friend smile. I love the way I look, I like to see my face in the morning, in the mirror, in pictures. I carry a little something, I've become vivid, I finally live in color.
My personality is that of a companion. I want to be the place in your life that you visit when you need to feel good, you should feel what I feel, you should meet the morning happy to be wearing your body. I'm shaking off, I've shaken off the gray, dead skin of things behind me that I can't change.
I still carve away negative influences and toxic friendships where I have to, but try it more tenderly. I don't want to change anybody. I only want to see them go, and sculpt in the meanwhile more perfect relations with the characters who've populated my story for years already. Then water and cultivate the newcomers, the 1-year, the 2-year, the men and women who still feel undiscovered and intriguing when I'm with them, but who I've learned enough of to be settled by. I dance as I need between depth, trust and frivolousness.
I approach my job with the deepest kind of gratitude. I don't know how to say it; it's my pal. My job and I, we're connected. Partners. It's a thing that brings me comfort, like a friend, and comes along on all my adventures, like a friend, and listens as I sort out what I've seen there, like a friend. It introduces me to things I'd never have known existed, like a friend.
For the first time I'm a part of my community, I involved myself by accident, and I can balance my days between privacy, passion, productivity and communication. I want for nothing. I have achieved. I have stood my ground. I have negotiated and compromised. And I'm alright, and I'm in love, and I'm still myself. I'm who I've always been. I've only learned better that it's a thoroughly satisfying thing to be.

Visitors will learn how Philippe Starck in collaboration with manufacturers Duravit, Axor and Hoesch, revolutionized the bathroom in the early nineties when he transformed the entire bathroom from a small obscure room into a relaxing retreat drenched in natural light, warm materials and uncompromising modernity.
