|updated various sections and added technical notes at the start
1. Computers, accounts, networks ******************************** Accounts We Use: ---------------- We use the following accounts - cirsi - intobs (for running the observing software ONLY on lpss13. DO not use elsewhere, or you may have problems) - intguest (a general account) - int_login (used ONLY on the alpha TCS display) What Computers Where -------------------- We use the following machines (May 2000 run, ip numbers may change!). Addresses are: host.roque.ing.iac.es **The CIRSI Computers: - guestip0 (aka circc) - Win 95 PC mounted on the telescope. No monitor connected, but one should be available in the dome in case of problems. Runs PixCel acquisition software, and is controlled remotely. - guestip1 (aka cirob) - Win machine running pcANYWHERE to guestip0, which it controls. THIS IS IT'S ONLY PURPOSE. Run no other software here. - guestip2 (aka cirds) - linux machine running 'samba' where data is written by guestip0 (circc). Run no other software here. 'Samba' may not start automatically if you reboot (so don't!) but if you do: (i) Log in as root (ii) type /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb [status|stop|restart|start] type /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start **The INT computers: - lpss13 (188.8.131.52)- SparcStation 20 Observing machine, run observing scripts etc. from here (in a pink xterm). Also has TCS info displays, and CIRSI/TCS talkers, which displays error messages. DO NOT run netscape here. - lpss14 - has all INT data discs mounted on it. It's downstairs. - lpss8 (22.214.171.124) - ULTRA60, powerful machine for data reduction. Also use netscape here (and NOT on lpss13). This is for data reduction and quick look at pointing etc. It's a good idea to log on as intguest here, but have plenty of cirsi windows as well so that you can write to both the cirsi homespace and the cirsi space on the INT data discs. [ Also, a useful step is to load the Starlink software (e.g. this gets Gaia, coco). Only use lpss8 for data reduction and running this software! use: source /star/etc/login source /star/etc/cshrc ] Gaia can be used to produce CIRSI finding charts, details of which will be added at the end of these notes soon. Where to use what account ------------------------- a) Log into circc (guestip0) as cirsi b) Log into cirob (guestip1) as cirsi c) Log into lpss13 as intobs d) Log into lpss8 as intguest e) Log into cirds (guestip2) as cirsi f) (If required) Log onto LPAS2 on the Alpha TCS as int_login The Current (May 2000) network arrangement ------------------------------------------ Currently, data taken by guestip0 (circc) is written to the linux machine guestip2 via a network drive mounted on guestip0. This SHOULD THEN BE copied at the end of the night to one of the /obsdata/int discs on lpss14. Use ftp to do this. The next day, make DAT tapes. You can FTP as needed to guestip2 (from e.g. lpss8) to get the data when it is written - but don't do lots of ftp-ing, or the network slows, causing problems with the data taking. (You tend to lose data by dropping loops, a bad thing...). 2. Typical startup procedure (computers etc.). ********************************************** IMPORTANT: Restart guestip0 every day. Use pcANYWHERE on guestip1 to do this. REMEMBER: Close all programs (e.g. the filter controller) before restarting, or odd things and crashes can occur on reboot, doing this can avoid problems during the night. Reboot guestip1. In the LILO prompt introduce "win95" (without quotes) (push TAB to see options). - Start pcANYWHERE if not running on guestip1 (cirob). Change the path destination of the FITS files for the current night in the "pixel.ini" file (see 20). Also be sure to make this directory on guestip2. - Double-click on 'Cirsi camera'. (It takes about 2 minutes for guestip0 (circc) to boot, you cannot connect during this time..). If the windows appears pink, minimising and then maximising the window should cure it. - Start the filter controller as well, and check the filter is in position (more details on this later). - Now goto lpss13. If the TCS is running (i.e. and xterm with SYS> is there) type 'shutdownobsys' in the xterm and then logout of lpss13. This is useful to get a fresh start. - Use TCSEXIT to exit the TCS software on the alpha TCS control (where the TO sits). Restart the TCS software from the alpha TCS display (if you have a TO, he/she will do this). ** Make sure you use versions I13-1-2 and s7-1 of the software, or things won't work **. These are older versions compatible with CIRSI, and are not the default options! - Once the TCS is loaded, log into lpss13 as 'intobs'. Minimise the orange window that appears. In the pink window, type 'obssys' and select the CIRSI option (no.20 in May 2000) - Check where startobssys is. Type 'alias startobssys' and you should get source $top/$system/bin/startcirsi.csh $OBSSTATION;echo "startobssys done". Also check the following responses: SYS> echo $top /int SYS> echo $system s7-1 - type 'cleanup' in case the last shutdown was unexpected. - type 'startobssys' and lots of windows pop-up. You can minimise the autoguider as we don't use it. arrange the others so you can see them all, the infodisp in particular. The observing system should now be running happily on lpss13. Next, startup of CIRSI for Remote Control - cd to cirsi directory ('cd cirsi') - check that the CIRSI send command is in your path The source for this is in: /home/cirsi/soft/cirsi/remote/ing see the README and send.c for more details SYS> where send ./send - Set the CIRSI environment variable for remote control SYS> setenv CIRSI 22.214.171.124 (note: May 2000 value...) - Now check the link to CIRSI using: SYS> send status [should return BUSY or READY or rejected if PixCel not started. Also sometimes get UNKNOWN which is a bit weird] If PixCel is started and you still get a "connection reject"; check the Pixel.ini file on the windows machine (guestip1) for: (i) SOCKET 16421 (ii) 184.108.40.206 [if using lpss13.roque.ing.iac.es] - Check the TCS link that gets the TCS headers Note: This file is updated by the user 'intobs' and is currently read by PixCel as 'cirsi'. The file is created by user 'intobs' by the script 'CIRSIgetfits' from packets created by the INT command archive. The file is found in: /home/cirsi/header.fit (i) make sure there is a file header.fit exists. If not touch it and make it world writable. This will ensure the protection is always OK. An alternative would be to get PixCel to point to /home/intobs/header.fit OR you could use ln -s /home/cirsi/header.fit /home/intobs/header.fit BUT you might need to change CIRSIgetfits to write header.fits to the correct locations. Test this all as follows: SYS> archive [and watch the Talker to see if there is any errors. It should take around 2 seconds. Sometimes we see the error DMA_time out ... read cryostat ... [This probably means it is looking for some WFC stuff] SYS> CIRSIgetfits 0 0 0 0 should return quickly with Written /home/cirsi/header.fit - Check the path where the data is written on guestip0. Change using 'send path[SEQUENCING]
' (and put quotes round the path) if necessary. This path will probably be to guestip2 (cirds), a linux machine, hence samba must be running there. - (OPTIONAL) Now try CIRSIgo to take an exposure. - Print out some logsheets (found in /home/cirsi/public_html/logsheets) 3. Typical Startup Procedures (Telescope) ***************************************** ** NOTE: you only get a TO for the first *2* nights of the run!! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW HOW TO OPERATE THE TELESCOPE!!!!! get him to show you early on. You really need to know how to open up and shut down; notes are given in the CIRSI green folder which should be lying around somewhere (or more likely in RGM's office at the IoA). ** Full details of the procedures are given on the TO's web page. Read carefully... but the general order is (skeleton outline): DURING THE AFTERNOON/DAYLIGHT: i) Fill the CIRSI dewar and note the time in the observing log on the TCS console. ii) Check the vacuum pressure via the HV instrument on the CIRSI instrument 'cage'. Note this and the temperatures displayed on guestip1 pcANYWHERE and note in the log AND the web file found in /home/cirsi/public_html/CirsiDewarStatus/). Channel 5 gives the temperature inside the dewar, and should be around -184. AFTER DINNER: It's a good idea to fill the dewar again now as well. i) Turn off all the stairwell lights and ensure the blinds are pulled down. Close all the doors to the dome and turn out ALL the lights in the corridors on the observing floor, as some light leakage can occur. ii) If you have a TO, he/she will do most of the following, if not, it's down to you! iii) Turn on the dome lights if not on (on the TCS console) iv) ** Turn on the oil pump (on engineering rack) ** v) Move the telescope to zenith (either use 'park zenith' in computer mode or do it by hand in engineering mode). vi) Zeroset the telescope. The HA position should be near 12 O'clock position, and the DEC near 9:50. vii) On the TCS console type 'zeroset HA target' and 'zeroset DEC target'. viii) Use HA and DEC [+/-] buttons and in 'SM' mode move the telescope through the zeroset positions stated above. the TCS will beep and the zeroset light flash when this is done. The telescope is now zeroset. ix) Open the dome. Use RAISE MICRO until the OVERTRAVEL indicator goes off, then RAISE MAIN until open. Repeat for the lower shutter if you need to use it (only for objects lower then 57 degrees zenith distance). x) Open the primary mirror cover using the engineering rack. xi) Turn on the dome vent fan if you want to use it ** NOTE don't do this in humid conditions, or you'll bring the humidity inside the dome! ** xii) Turn off the dome lights and pull the blind down. xiii) Put the telescope in COMP mode by turning the key switch on the TCS console. Both SM buttons must be lit for this to happen. The telescope is now under computer control. ixv) Ensure that none of the manual control buttons are lit on the TCS console, or likely the telescope won't track or the dome won't move or something like that. IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TELESCOPE: Call the Duty Engineer (name & number on whiteboard, or use the intercom. Don't worry about dragging them out of bed if you have a problem). If you have concerns about the weather and whether to open, try the WHT TO. 4. LOADING CATALOGUES ********************* The INT catalogues are in /int/cat which is writable by 'intobs'. So if you prepare a catlogue as user 'cirsi' then you can only put it in the write place as 'intobs'. To load a catalogue type SYS> cmd TCS USER "include sa57_tcs.dat" There is also a script which will load some default catalogues you might use every night. It is run by: SYS> CIRSILoadCats and it will load a list of specific catalogues, which you can update. These catalogues will also show you the correct format, which is important or the catalogues will not be loaded. Update this script as you add more object catalogues. NOTE: Catalogue entries are case-specific. 5. Apertures ************ The following apertures are defined: - Aperture 0 - Centre of CIRSI, i.e. not on any chip! - Aperture 1 - Centre of chip 1 - Aperture 2 - Centre of chip 2 etc. - Some default apertures are loaded on startup; if you change them, then use: SYS> CIRSILoadApertures and update this file as you change them at the start of a run or night. 6. Checking the pointing ************************ (i) 'gocat' to a very bright star from the system bright star catalog: There is a copy of this on the CIRSI ING WWW homepage The telescope will move there, and place the star on aperture 0. (ii) type 'aperture 1' (moves the telescope so that the star is centered on chip 1. (iii) type 'send chip 1' [to select chip 1 only to be read out] take a 10sec 1 loop exposure (use 'send loops 1' and 'send exptime 10') (iv) measure the x, y cordinates of this star with imexamine WRITE THE NUMBERS ON THE LOGSHEET AS A PERMANENT RECORD (e.g. 384, 524) (v) X-offset: Subtract 512 from X and multiple by 0.457" => -58 Add this to the existing Aperture 0 offset. (vi) Y-offset: Subtract Y from 512 [YES, THE SENSE IS DIFFERENT] Add this to the existing Aperture 0 offset. (vii) type 'cmd TCS USER "ENTER APERTURE 0 x y" where x & y are the new aperture 0 values. (viii) ** VERY VERY IMPORTANT ** (i) 'gocat' back to the target. (ii) 'aperture 1' (iii) Repeat the exposure and CHECK that the star is now centred. (iv) If it isn't: You've made a mistake (easy to do...) OR the above senses are wrong (they are from May 2000)
The boring command in section (vii) could be put into a script [rgm 20000614] (ix) NOW edit the CIRSILoadApertures script to have the new value of aperture 0. This will mean that you can quickly reload it later in the night OR the next night. Spending a minute doing this now will saave you pain later. 7. FOCUSING *********** This can be quite time-consuming... There are two approaches, either focusing on a standard star (which appears not to be as reliable, as you only have one measurement per focus value), or focusing on a field (good in more crowded fields).. Either way, use the following approach: i) Use 'send chip 1', 'send loops 1' and 'send exptime 10' i) type 'focus xxxx' where xxxx is the just below the lower end of where you wish to start the focus test from. [note the command will not execute if value is the actual current value] ii) type 'CIRSIfocus value_start value_step nsteps' (a script) e.g. CIRSIfocus 48.5 0.1 7 USE 0.2 AT THE START OF A RUN OR AT THE START OF THE NIGHT NOTE: 'value_start' cannot be the same as the current focus value, or the script will stick (a TCS problem we believe). Also watch for sticking, and use
to break out of script if necessary. The frames will be taken, with an offset between the first and subsequent frames. This allows the first frame to be subtracted from the others to remove sky. Use 'imexamine' in IRAF to determine the FWHM. As a guide, the focus value in Hx May 2000 was around 49.2mm, and the focus should not change drastically during a run as the focus is temperature compensated. NOTE: THE J FILTER OFFSETS HAVE NOT BEEN DETERMINED RELIABLEY YET
8. STANDARDSA list of suitable standards is linked from the CIRSI web page, and is also one of the default catalogues loaded in when using CIRSILoadCats - these are from Persson et al. (1998). Select a suitable standard from there (they all have numbers like 9148). If you choose a Persson standard, the script 'CIRSIstandard' will do the observation. Usage is: CIRSIstandard StandardNumber RunNumber
<> values are optional. The script will place the standard on aperture 1, with default observation parameters of 'loops' = 3 (or the value of 'loops' on the command line) and 'exptime' = 10s (or the 'ExpTime' value on the command line). It's a good idea to defocus slightly beforehand. CIRSIstandard uses a simple 4 x 100" dither script to take the observations, which places the standard on each quadrant of chip one. If the run crashes, use CIRSIstandard again, but add the dither position of the crash. Some standards from May/June 2000 run were: H LCIRS 1441-0031 9155 11.7 LCIRS 1221-0010 9149 11.9 Lockman 1006+4101 9142 11.7 SA57 1214+3535 9148 11.4 ELAIS-N1 1559+4736 9162 11.9 ELAIS-N2 1631+3009 9166 11.5 By hand type CIRSIdither dithpat_100_4
9. PROGRAM objectsMake sure the object is in the catalogue, then: gocat
21. Writing tapes CIRSI uses DDS-3 DAT tapes. We write the data using tar. Write 1 D-tape and 1 C-tape. You should verify that the tapes are OK but reading the tape back on a different tape drive. cd to the directory above the data; then type tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0n 200000613 to write the tape tar -xvf /dev/rmt/1n to read it back [do this on a different drive] If you want to write two or three nights of data on the same tape: mt -f /dev/rmt/ fsf n where n=1, 2 3 etc is the number of nights of data you want to skip. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL WHEN WRITING ONTO A TAPE THAT ALREADY HAS DATA ON IT. Tape writing For each night of INT data. A copy for the ING Archive should be made using the Observatory provided DDS-3 tape. This is called a D-tape. The observatory on labels the DDS-1 tapes you need to steal the number and label from the DDS-1 D tape. Fill in the tape sheet to prevent the D-tape number being duplicated. Also make a C-tape for IOA. Use an ING DDS-3 DAT for this. If you run out of ING tapes ask for more using the fault database. As a fall back use some of the IOA tapes which are in the box on the Linux PC trolley. Leave the D-tape in the tape tray on in the INT control room. This is on the shelf above the music system. If there is a collaborator who needs a C-tape, they shoudl make one as well. Bring the C-tapes back to IOA. It is important to verify the tapes by swapping them in the two DDS-3 DAT drives. Then use tar -xvf or -tvf to verify the contents. -xvf is prefered but -tvf may be OK.. Dump it to a tmp directory. Since the ING network is isolated from the CIRSI network (we hope) by a ethernet switch it is safe to write data from /obsdata which are on lpss4 to the DATs that are mounted on lpss8.

Arthur slams Haddin`s `insecurity` shot as `cheap`
Sydney: Sacked Australian coach Mickey Arthur has slammed Australian vice-captain Brad Haddin for his scathing critique of his regime as `insecure`, saying that Haddin`s statement was `cheap` and his presence in the Test team as `unsustainable`.
Just a day ahead of the first Test of the winter Ashes series, Haddin, who was recalled as vice-captain before the last Ashes before Arthur was sacked, claimed that the former coach`s insecurities led to an uncomfortable culture in which players were `jumping at shadows`.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Arthur expressed his bewilderment and disappointment over Haddin`s comments, saying that it was a `little bit naive` on Haddin`s part to say those things as Haddin was not a part of the team for a long period of time and was not aware of the direction in which he was taking the team.
Stating that he is especially disappointed as he gave Haddin a huge amount of support, time and advice following his family problems, Arthur further said that Australia`s brand of cricket was not going to sustainable under Haddin as he was one of the senior players who lost his place and was left out for a younger player like Matthew Wade.
Arthur was adamant most players were secure in their roles during his tenure and defended his management of the team, saying that those that were `jumping at shadows` were not doing what was expected and were trying to take short cuts.
According to Arthur, although it is not necessary to `mess` with a successful culture, however, Australia had lost a lot of experienced players for which they needed to create their own brand, culture and put in place a sustainable value system that any player coming up from state level could walk straight in and feel comfortable.
Arthur also said that he had tried to get Australian cricket back to where it deserved to be and did his job to the best of his ability.
Haddin, who will play his 50th Test against England in Brisbane, had also said that Australia under new coach Darren Lehmann has a renewed belief and confidence, and is unrecognisable from the tense unit he rejoined as a replacement for the injured Wade after four players were suspended in Mohali earlier this year.

Good News for Fulham Fans!
It seems ages ago since a tackle on Bobby Zamora saw his season rudely interrupted.
But good news is filtering through, Mark Hughes has confirmed that Zamora is now back in training and is on course to complete his recovery in the timescale expected.
Speaking about the situation relating to both Zamora and Philippe Senderos, Hughes is quoted a saying,
"Bobby is looking good. And Phillipe is out with his boots on which he has not been able to do. There are still a number of weeks before they will be back for selection, but they are on track."
We`re glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel for both lads!

In the heart of the Barrens is a deep, semi-circular canyon the centaur call the the Circle of Dust. The centaur gather on the rim of the Circle to watch the dust devils roll in off the savanna, believing that the earth writes their destinies in the whirling sand. They also believe that the earth can be appeased with offerings, so they throw gold and jewels into the dust devils as they collapse into the canyon. The accumulated offerings have proved nearly irresistible to passing orcs and goblins, although most potential thieves are caught by the centaur, who behead the intruders and post their heads around the rim of the Circle of Dust as a warning.

You can forgive Liverpool's acclaimed striker for a sense of grievance as he viewed the luminaries at Monday's Ballon d'Or gala.
Not Luis Suarez, who may have his sights on muscling in on Fifa's gala event in 2014, but the legendary predecessor who is predicting the Uruguayan will break his Anfield goalscoring records.
Before you shed any tears for Franck Ribery, spare a thought for Ian Rush, who scored 47 goals and helped Liverpool to the European Cup in the 1983-84 season only to finish fourth in the voting.
Rush, perhaps understandably, was behind France's European Championship winning captain Michael Platini, but Jean Tigana and Denmark's Preben Elkjar – outstanding though they were – must have been well connected to earn more support than the Welshman in that particular ballot.
In comparison, Liverpool's Uruguay striker was never a serious candidate to win this year but as he watched Fifa's team of the year assemble it must have grated just a little.
To many, Suarez is currently the third best player in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and 2014 can be the year he proves it in the tournaments that matter most to the electorate.
Put aside the ill-timed disciplinary issue that cost Suarez the Premier League Player of the Year trophies, the chief reason he has not yet been recognised by Fifa is Liverpool's lack of Champions League football. Scoring four goals against Norwich resonates across the country, but only when he is matching his current strike rate against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and the rest will he get the attention of football's governing bodies. Basically, he'll have to shine in Uefa and Fifa events before he gets an opportunity to wear a red dinner suit, Messi style.
That is why, despite his recent signing of a new contract at Anfield, the suspicion lingers Liverpool must finish in the top four this season to avoid the activation of any clauses. The longer Suarez is deprived of the elite competition, the more his status as one of the greatest players of his generation is undermined.
Rush, a club ambassador at Anfield, believes Champions League participation is all that stands in the way of Suarez and greater recognition from his peers.
"He is up to the level of those players but he will have to be in the Champions League – hopefully with Liverpool – to ever win it," says Rush.
"Even then I know how difficult it is. Even though I got all those goals and we won the European Cup in that season, I came fourth behind Platini.
"I felt what worked against me that year was I'd never played in the World Cup or, as was the case in 1984, the European Championships for Wales and whoever was voting would have considered that as important as the European Cup.
"Luis has the chance to make his mark in the World Cup, but realistically he will know it is the players who have done it in European competition who win it. The Champions League will impact on the voting more than it did 30 years ago."
This time next year, Suarez could have rewritten Anfield and Premier League records if he maintains his current strike rate.
He has 22 in 16 appearances, so the Premier League record of 34 shared by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole – achieved during 42 and 40 game seasons, respectively – is only four hat-tricks away. The highest in a 38 game Premier League season is 31 by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rush scored his 47 in all competitions, 32 in the league, and believes only ill-fortune can prevent Suarez eclipsing him.
"If he stays fit for the rest of the season I think he will beat my record," said Rush, who also struck 40 in the 1986-87 season.
"As a supporter it is something I want to happen. You set these records and they're something you are proud of, but what you really want is someone else to come along and beat it. It's a target for him.
"When you're in the form he is in, you don't go out thinking you are going to score, you go out there knowing it's going to happen. That's how I felt when I scored those 47 goals. I just knew if I played, I'd score.
"It helped I played in every game and we had all the cup competitions as well as the league. I'll be Luis was absolutely gutted he was rested against Oldham in the FA Cup. He'd have been thinking he'd have scored a couple if he'd play. It's how you think as a striker."
Providing he avoids injury or other misdemeanours, the second half of the season represents a victory march for Suarez with regards personal Premier League accolades.
If he keeps Liverpool in the top four and becomes a Champions League striker, he will surely challenge Ronaldo and Messi for the golden ball in twelve months.

Antique Film Effects with The GIMP
Now that we have an artistic-looking black-and-white photo, let's sepia-tone it to add a more timeless and classic look. In the Layers dialog, make sure the Film Grain layer is selected, and click on the duplicate layer button at the bottom of the dialog; the entire layer is duplicated, including the layer mask. Double-click on the name Film Grain copy and change it to Sepia Tone. Change the blend mode of the new layer to Color; this applies the hue and saturation of the Sepia Tone layer with the value (luminance) of the composite layers below. Finally, click on the layer thumbnail icon in the Sepia Tone layer to select it, as opposed to its layer mask.
Click on the foreground color swatch in the main GIMP toolbox to bring up the Color Selection dialog, as you did before. Dial in the color (red = 162, green = 138 and blue = 101) and click OK. You should see the color swatch change to a hue of brown. Once you have this technique down, you can experiment with different tinting colors, but this is a good starting point.
Select the Fill tool (paint bucket) in The GIMP toolbox window and move your mouse focus to the image window. Do a select all (Ctrl-A), and click once in the window to fill it with the new color. Your Layers dialog should look something like Figure 10, and the image should take on an overall sepia tint, as shown in Figure 11.
The use of the same layer mask in the Sepia Tone layer as the Film Grain layer is deliberate. In the traditional wet-darkroom process, the sepia toning occurs most in the mid-tones, and the lighter and darker areas appear to be less brown. You can use the same Ctrl-click trick on the layer mask to see its effect on the sepia toning. If you prefer the stronger sepia cast that you achieve without the layer mask, simply right-click on the layer and select Delete Layer Mask.
Time to add our final effect to make this image really stand out. We'll add a vignette, a sort of spotlight effect that draws the viewer's eye to the subject of the photograph by creating a gradual darkening moving radially away from the main subject. If a vignette is done subtly and properly, the viewer is not consciously aware of the manipulation. It is a technique particularly well suited to portraits.
In the Layers dialog, make sure that the Background layer is selected and click on the duplicate layer button at the bottom of the dialog. Double-click on the name Background copy and change it to Vignette. Right-click on the Vignette layer and add a layer mask with White (Full Opacity).
In The GIMP toolbox, click on the tiny versions of the black and white color swatches to restore the default foreground to black. Now double-click the Blend (Gradient) tool to select it and open the Tool Options dialog. In the dialog, select Radial as the Gradient type. Go back to the image window and click down in the center of the area where you want the center of the vignette spotlight to be, then drag outward toward a corner and release. In this example, I clicked in the baby's chin and dragged nearly to the upper-right corner. The only change you should notice is a radial gradient that appears in the layer mask icon, as shown in Figure 12.
Go back to the Vignette layer in the Layers dialog and click on the layer icon to select it instead of the layer mask. Now, go to the image window and bring up the Levels dialog (RC→Image→Colors→Levels). Move the middle (gray) slider to the right a bit and release it, as shown in Figure 13. Check the effect in the image window and readjust the slider until you are satisfied with the effect, then click OK. You can see my final result in Figure 14; the vignette draws the eye to the baby's face and adds a pleasing shadowy contrast overall.
If you need to redraw your gradient to try a different spotlight effect, simply select the Vignette layer mask icon, click the Blend tool and try again in the image window; the new gradient replaces the old.
Time to sit back and have some fun evaluating your handiwork. Try clicking the eye next to the various layers in the layers dialog to toggle their visibility on and off—an easy way to preview the different effects we have discussed. If you like the image better without one of the effects, delete that layer by selecting it and clicking the trash can icon.
If you want to do further image editing on the photo, it might be a good idea to save your work under a new name at this point or duplicate the image (Ctrl-D) and flatten it (RC→Layers→Flatten Image).
It's a good idea to give yourself a check-pointed result that you can start over with if further edits go awry. You can experiment with changing the hue and saturation, punch up the contrast with levels and curves or do any other desired edits at this point on the flattened version.
I hope I've given you a sense of the power of image layers in this article. Although a layered approach to image editing requires more memory resources, it pays off in great flexibility. So, slap some extra memory in your Linux box and build yourself a layered antique masterpiece.

Boston's Menopausal Weather
Way back when (high school), I sang in the choir. I have fond memories of our practice room, from pop-tarts in the piano to waging a tribal choir war. We loved that space, except when it played tricks on us with the temperature. When it was cold, I sounded like a lifelong smoker. At 16. When it was hot—no one is happy in a hot space crammed with 50 singers.
Independent of the outside weather, that room would be sweltering one day and icy the next. Some of us creative types christened it the "Menopause Room," and it stuck. Yes, the name was strange; we'd just barely survived puberty, and already we were looking ahead to our early 50s. But there's no denying it fit.
Just as my choir class was the menopausal monster of CB West High School, so too is Boston the Menopausal City of the Northeast. Or at least Massachusetts.
Let me prove it to you. The big difference between menopause and puberty is that menopause entails not just mood swings, but also temperature fluctuations. According to these terms, Boston definitely qualifies.
Temperature: It's technically fall now, so why did I just walk home shivering in a windbreaker jacket and jeans, wishing for mittens? And worse yet, why was the day before so hot I had to turn my window fan up to full blast? Mere climate change fails to explain such phenomena; it can only be the result of Boston's mid-life… changes.
Mood swings: I'm not a Boston native so I only have the past three years to go on, but from what I can tell Boston has always been a temperamental mistress. The random super-warm week last semester followed by the Nemo blizzard proves just how volatile she can be. On too many occasions, the sky will be clear when I head to class and pouring rain an hour later.
I guess "hell hath no fury as a woman scorn'd," and poor Boston is repeatedly passed up for her plumper, more organized Northeast cousins (New York, Philadelphia, etc.). So yeah, Boston is the butt of many jokes (examples: A, B, and C), and Boston has a right to be acting out, but she's just making matters worse for herself.
On the other hand, maybe Boston is just trying to keep her residents on their toes—keep things interesting; after all, the most complex characters in books and movies are often the menopausal ones. For proof, look to Miss Havisham or Skyler White. Boston's weather volatility gives Bostonians some eccentricity in their lives.
Honestly though, I'm surprised tourism hasn't halted altogether, what with the not knowing when the next downpour will strike… rain boots are only a fashion statement at BU because we don't have a choice.
Much like my mother—and middle-aged women everywhere—Boston is by turns rainy, cold, warm, windy, and stormy. But it makes those rare sunny days that much better.

JJ shrugs off 'haters' after latest victory
Updated 9:40 pm, Sunday, May 19, 2013
Concord, N.C.
It's only fitting that Jimmie Johnson's latest romp through the record books was shrouded in post-race controversy. What's a Johnson win, after all, without a good conspiracy theory?
The latest instance of black helicopters hovering over the Hendrick Motorsports team came in the closing laps of Saturday night's Sprint All-Star Race after Johnson headed down pit road in the fourth position for the final stop. A speedy four-tire change sent him back onto the track in second and put him in position for his record fourth All-Star race victory.
But an error by the television production crew led to an incorrect graphic during the live telecast that claimed Johnson should have lined up much lower in the field going on to pit road.
So as the beer and champagne swirled in Victory Lane, angry fans pounced on the inconsistency and argued Johnson should never have been in position for the win.
Johnson simply offered a bemused shrug.
"I don't have the slightest clue. People just want to hate," he said. "That's fine. I'm just lucky. NASCAR rigs the races and whatever they want to believe. I'm going home with a cool trophy and a big check and we all really know what happened. So whatever."
IndyCar: Michel Jourdain Jr. was the only driver who failed to make the Indianapolis 500 field during Bump Day qualifying Sunday. The Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing driver from Mexico tried to get into the field Saturday, the first day of qualifying, but fell short. Jourdain couldn't reach the 33rd-place time to get into the field. Katherine Legge held on with an average speed of 223.176 mph for four laps.

Can the fragrance possibly be as good as the story?

Can the fragrance possibly be as good as the story?
And a bit deeper into the story:
we have seen the enemy...and he is us.-Pogo
I call shenanigans on this story. Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
I call shenanigans on this story. Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
Happy "Poisson D'Avril" Grant!!
The story may be so charming to be hard to believe, but I have no evidence it may be untrue. On the other hand, the fragrance smells so nice to me to deserve such an aura. I'm not much of an expert, but I'd marry the man wearing this scent!
(tried at Esxence in Milano last weekend)

Does anyone have any info about the notes?
This might all be marketing spin, as many "histories" of long-lost fragrances of the rich and famous, but I would like to see the notes.
Does it mean anything that all the stories about this scent appeared on April 1st, or that the Eight + Bob website only takes payments through PayPal and lists no address, phone number or even email address? Also, the one person here who claims to have smelled the fragrance and heaps extravagant praise upon it hasn't posted a comment about anything else - ever.

This story reeks of BS - from the details that the future president was driving around in a convertible to some secret ingredient that can only be acquired during the depth of winter in alpine conditions make the story around the new perfume look very likely fabricated. Furthermore, JFK's life was pretty well-documented down to what kind of rocking chair he used but am I to assume that the fragrance he preferred was a mystery until now?
Sorry, but I find marketing tactics like this to be very irritating.
OK, did anybody else smell this? It sounds great and the (strange) WebSite looks promising somehow. Does anybody own it, or at least see it somewhere in real? Hmmm... really would like to sample this one.
I still have strong doubts about how legitimate this is, but the Eight + Bob website has added some contact information and the notes of the fragrance:
Head: Ginger, cardamom, lemon, and bergamot.
Heart: Cedar wood, nuts, essencia cistus, and
guaiacum wood.
Base: Patchouli, sandal, ambergris, and vanilla.
They say the dominate notes are bergamot, guaiacum wood and sandalwood.
Was the JFK angle not enough? Did they have to add the part about the Nazis? Or the plant that can only be picked in December and January? Come on, give your potential buyers SOME credit. Just smell good, that's all we ask.
Oh come on people, why all the negative glum 'finger-pointing' at 'Eight & Bob' ?? - Where is all (or even any) of your 'romanticism' & sense of fun. ~ I quite honestly don't give a damn if there's actually even an ounce of truth to this 'back-story' or not. Either way, I think it's smart & very well thought out. Plus it actually does make the fragrance sound interesting at very least. (Just take note on how it's already started all the speculation & 'tongue-wagging'. It's already roped you all in despite your scepticism. Therefore already working on some level. So BOO you !! ) - I mean how much more boring would it be without any back-story at all ? (It's certainly no simple thing getting a frag off the ground in a saturated market !)
And for those screaming, all it needs is to "just smell good". Well I can confirm that it does indeed smell very good. In fact excellent ! - It has been one of the better niche offerings I've smelled this year. It's très sophisticated & actually fits the 'back-story' like a fine glove.
If you miss out due to sheer negativity, believe me it's your loss !
"Andrea is a wild plant in short supply due to the altitude and limited area in which it grows; and can only be picked during the months of December and January. The plants gathered undergo a very exacting selection process in which only seven percent are chosen. This process ends between March and April and only then is it known how many units of "EIGHT & BOB" can be bottled; and how many can be allotted to each country."
Only 7% ? Sounds like they got some pretty lousy plant gatherers if that's the best they can do. Should the environmentalists among us worry about the 93% that are picked and yet discarded ?
And if Andrea is the "heart and soul" of the perfume, why is it not listed in the notes ?
It's a great story I'll admit, but appropriating the Kennedys' lives as a means to sell product ( particularly if the story is not true) may feel problematic to some.

My answer to the questions "Why...?" and "When...?"
So many times I see postings on here asking "Why is this happening?" or "When will it get easier?" or "When will I stop crying or hurting?" And tonight while I was sitting here reading posts, it occurred to me that we are all grieving the loss of our marriage, the loss of our hopes and dreams that will never materialize with our exes, and even the loss of our partner, friend, lover, etc. In that, you must realize that there are stages of grief that we all must go thru.
Stage 1: Shock & Denial
Stage 2: Pain & Guilt
Stage 3: Anger & Bargaining
Stage 4: Depression, Reflection, Lonliness
Stage 5: The Upward Turn
Stage 6: Reconstruction & Working Thru
Stage 7: Acceptance & Hope
You'll bounce around in stages 1, 2 and 3 for a while. You'll touch onto stage 4 a little and eventually we move onto stages 5,6 and 7. Sometimes you'll waiver and maybe even backstep, but eventually you'll keep moving forward because that is how life sustains us.
Here comes the part about my brainstorm....
Acceptance is a long way off for some. But you need to realize this: we wont achieve acceptance in a moment. And by resisting the changes that are occuring in our lives, we prolong the time when acceptance will happen for us. We waste our time and energy and make things harder on ourselves by resisting, repressing and denying. Until you stop doing it, you wont realize how much energy you were wasting on it or how free you will feel once you do stop.
Repressing our thoughts will not make them disappear. Think about them. Let them sit within you while you're "in the moment" (feeling) and then let them go. Visualize them going up into the sky like a balloon, if you need to.
Resisting our feelings will not free us from them either. Instead they swirl up inside us, torment us and make us sick. Feelings are totally in the moment. You dont know ahead of time what feeling is coming next. But a new one is always ahead. The more quickly we accept a feeling, the more quickly we'll move onto the next.
Denying a situation by keeping hope that it will have a different outcome is also a way we pause ourselves from reaching acceptance. In denial, we fail to release the negative feelings and thoughts that hinder change. We're so afraid of change that we grasp at holding onto what we are comfortable with and know. However, once we stop denying, we can truly feel and think positive feelings and thoughts again propelling us into stages 5 and 6, and onto acceptance.
If we accept who we are, and the circumstances we are in... we become empowered to change and grow into the people we were meant to be. Acceptance allows us to make new changes (positive or negative) and move forward.
How do we accept our circumstances? For anything to change, or anyone to change, we must first accept ourselves, others and the circumstances exactly as they are. Then we need to take it one step further and be grateful for ouselves or our circumstances. And last, we add in a touch of faith by saying "I know this is exactly the way its sposed to be for the moment."
By reaching acceptance, we end the grieving process and can move on with our lives in whatever direction the change sent us. We all have a purpose of our own and its within us as human beings to strive for it.
Well, that's my brainstorm in a nutshell. I hope it was enlightening to some of you. :-)
Today, God, help me practice the concept of acceptance in my life. Help me accept myself, others and my circumstances. Take me one step further, and help me feel grateful.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your post was comforting to me. Thanks!
Quoting Nancy68:
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Your post was comforting to me. Thanks!
Thank you! And Im glad I was able to say something to someone that maybe helped, if only a little. :-) I hope you have a easy, and peaceful day.

Sonic Youth
Roundhouse, London NW1
When Sonic Youth played their first London gig in 1983, the equipment went haywire and a frustrated Thurston Moore smashed everything up live on stage. The gig still got positive reviews. It's unlikely, 24 years on, as they return to play their seminal 1988 album, Daydream Nation, in its entirety, that many bad words will be said about the massively influential New York quartet, who reigned over the American alt-rock scene in the Eighties, gave Kurt Cobain a leg-up in the Nineties, and are still churning out significant, critically admired records today.
If they churn on for another quarter century, Sonic Youth will never surpass Daydream Nation, their finest hour. It marked the moment at which the edgy, noisy experimentalism of their previous five albums, which endorsed the torturing of guitars to breaking-point and beyond, struck a deal with melodies, hooks and complex yet symmetrical song structures. The two records that came after pushed for still greater immediacy, particularly 1992's Dirty, which flirted with grunge and three-minute durations, but neither could recalibrate the balance that the sixth album had so effortlessly achieved.
The only problem with tonight's show, which, as part of the 'Don't Look Back' season organised by the All Tomorrow's Parties festival, requires that the album be played in its original order, is that the best comes first. As an adolescent, I inhaled 'Teen Age Riot' like pure oxygen. It was one of those supremely exhilarating songs that filled you with energy while making you feel way too cool to expend it. Accordingly, Moore's vocals ride the gleaming rush of guitars with laid-back ease, and the revolutionary stir of the lyrics is offset by slacker sentiments: 'It takes a teenage riot to get me out of bed right now.'
Sonic Youth are well beyond their teenage years at this point - Moore is 49; his wife Kim Gordon is 54 - but they have lost none of their youthful intensity on stage. Lee Ranaldo spends a lot of time upending his guitar, sawing at it with a violin bow and shoving it against the speakers, while Moore flails about under his mop of hair, and Gordon, when she's not playing bass guitar, windmills her arms and spins around like a dervish. Steve Shelley drums his way through the album with no less ferocity than he would have done nearly two decades ago.
The remarkable trick the band pull off several times in Daydream Nation is to set a propulsive, ultra-immediate riff in motion and then promptly dismantle it, fading it out into a thick fog of distortion. This happens 90 seconds into 'Silver Rocket', when the fast, crunchy rhythm implodes and the guitars begin to screech and growl at each other - no one can hold screeching, growling guitar conversations quite as eloquently as Sonic Youth. They hold it and hold it, and when they finally let it go, the riff springs back with enough repressed force to blow your head off.
'The Sprawl' offers no such release. Named after a futuristic megalopolis stretching from Boston to Atlanta, in a novel by sci-fi author William Gibson, the track dissolves into a long, shimmering coda with motifs flickering in and out like patterns glimpsed over a city at night. It's incredibly beautiful, a word you might not think to apply to a band notorious for attacking guitars with screwdrivers and 'playing' electric drills through wah-wah pedals.
Gordon exercises her elastic, feline vocal chords on 'The Sprawl' as well as two other songs, both of which involve some abhorrent male seducer, a figure that seems to recur in about half of everything she writes. In 'Kissability' it's a sleazy Hollywood player: 'I'll put you in a movie, don't you wanna,' she purrs. 'You could be a star, you could go far... Give us a kiss.'
Ranaldo also sings on three tracks, his lyrics lending a surrealist edge to the proceedings. On 'Eric's Trip', his gnomic pronouncement, 'I'm over the city, fucking the future', elicits an encouraging cheer from the audience.
The intensity heightens further as they surge through the rest of the album. The low-slung, infectious groove that animates 'Total Trash' gives way to the wired charge of 'Hey Joni' and the even more agitated disarrangement of 'Rain King'. Ranaldo and Moore are each flanked by a rack of about 10 guitars, and by the end of the trilogy of songs that closes the record, it feels as if they've exhausted every string.
They're still a pretty cool bunch, it has to be said, and still credible as rock pioneers, although their latest output sounds conventional in comparison with earlier work. The night doesn't end with Daydream Nation: five of the seven tracks that follow are from last year's Rather Ripped, their 20th album, which could conceivably be described as a Sonic Youth pop record.
But it takes no more than a squint of the eyes to picture the arty No Wavers who gelled in downtown NYC at the start of the Eighties, or the indie deities who secured a Geffen deal for their support band Nirvana a decade later. Moore can still execute an authentic slacker pose, aided by the fact that he still looks like an oversized skater kid, and Gordon can still do the sultry hide-behind-the-hair rock chick thing despite being midway through her sixth decade.
It doesn't matter what age the Youth are, really, so long as they keep challenging audiences - and instruments - like they're doing right now.

" Y th IdtVM-s of th Appeal I
In ewannenting, upon th recent

took ocasioa to remark that the
itep was rendered necessary in order
to sphold (ho I'resbyterian creed.
It ta?s: "We are constrained to ad

1, And. first. I obscrvo that tho

Just how far tho Doctor would apply

A. A. Hodge, whoso lamented death

said, I bclicvo, through the Appeal
that he rejects evolution in all
iU forms as a soientifio truth,
r at leant , in any ap
plication to Adam's body. So be it.
Tot Dr. Hodge, like Dr. Flint, is
down on tho record as maintaining
in tho l.-t edition of his Outline
on heoloqy tho fur nioro impor
tant proposition that betwivn "Thrit

opponenls in our own braueh of tho

who, advocating his removal on cer
tain grounds, yet hold that his views
oy no means involve antagonism
with doetriues fundamental to our
oreed. 1 was present aud heard Dr.
Girardeau's speech before the Synod
of South Carolina in 1HH4, which I
believe w oommonly considered by
those of his side as tho strongest
effort put forth against Dr. Wood
row. In that speech Dr. Uirardeau
said: "This is not a question of
heresy. If it were I would ba con
strained to take my stand besido
Dr. Woodrow aud to defond him
against such an aocusatimi ;"
or words of exactly that import,
Now, everybody must know that if
Dr. Girardeau, after five or six
nontfca of close study of Dr. Wood
row's famous address, could say, as
he ocrtaiuly did. " Thit i$ not a qurt
tion ofjvreiy," he surely meant that
Prof. Woodrow's views did not, di
rectly or indiroolly, involve the doc
trines of Ui immortality of the soul,
Adaaa's full and the "scheme of sal
vation." He wished Dr. Woodrow
removed from the seminary, but not
OS the ground of heresy.
Ia another article I shall, if al
lowed space to do so, show the euri
ons dilemma in which the Appeal's
position involves some oftho
eadiaf lights of soionee. I
do not advocate any form of
eTolatien, nor have I acofatad
any farm of it as aa established
truth, considered aoientiiaally or
theologically, for this reason, among
others, that I have net Bad the
leisure in wUoh to examine with
tnfnoieat care the evidence for it
and against it. My chief interest in
the qaestion ia not whether the
opinion be hrne or srraneons, but a
fear, based upon the history of the
past, lest the ehuroh whioh I love
shall ds twe evils. First, that she
will in her Waste say things whioh

accessibility of the President is the
wonder of every foreigner vho visits
WaahinrtOQ. 1 found aHootoh tour
ist at hia katel the ether night in a
state of great disappointment because
he had net been able to see the Capi
tol and the White House as heTiad
expected. lie had gone down to the
boundaries of the Capitol grounds
when Congress was not in session
aud, as bo did not find anybody there
to givo him permission to enter, he
walked away without going inside,
for he could not think of intruding a
foot within thosonreoioots, which in
his idea must be so sacred, without a
psi-a. He thought there was some
thing wronz when he found no dra
goons on guard and no turnkey there;
but he could not think of taking ad
vantage of what ho believed must be
the temporary absence of the guard.
The idea of walking straight up
through the Capitol grounds and into
the Capitol itself and all through it
without asking any questions never
ocurred ts aim.
A member of the British House
af Commons, and aa intel igeat Irish
member at that, who catue to Wash
ington on a visit a short lime ngo,
after sittine in bia room and wonder
ing for a couple ot days how he oould
get entroo to the lizeoutive Mansion,
put the questioa to me one night ana
asked aae how it oould bo managed.
"Walk up to tho front door and pass

be, known or to nave a pajm no in

nothing of the kind was aocei?ary
and walked over with him. When
we came to the gate at the entranoe
totherrounds he stopped and looked
up and down as if he had m'sed
something. "Are thore no guards at
all?" ho asked. Ho had expsotcd to
find hall a dosen guardsmen in gay
military attire, with gun and baro
net, walking up and down in front ot
the rail fence to ohallcDge every

ho was bowildered ts see that all we
neoded to do was to open the door,
step innide on the fanoy tiles of a
wide vestibule, where wo met noth
ing more fbruiidablo than a young
man without military drcs, entirely
unarmed and engaged iu the harm'
less ocoupatioa of ohewing tubaooo.
If we had not opened the door for
ourselves that youiig man would have
opened the door for us and invited
us in, for he was the doorkeeper
then on duty. lCven if he had not
known cither of us he would have
shown us lreolv into the E ist Room,
where the public rcoept ions aro held
and which is by far tho largest and
most magnificent room in the Exec
utive Mansion. But after all that
is not s. iving much, for there aro
privato ballroom in Washington
that more than equal it, both
in respect to siee and ele
gance, snd tho rost of the Execu
tive Mansion would til rank above
a;eoond or third rate rrivato resi
cenoo iu the fashionable northwest
quarter. When that Irish member
of Parliament w.is oonducted up-t-tairs
to tho room where the Presi
dent's private secretary was working,
and by tho private sooretary taken
into tVe next room aud introduced
without oereiuony to tho President,
and whoo tho President as uncere
moniously dropped his pen, roso up,
gave tho visitor a warm, peinocraMo
handshake, and, folding bis arms and
crossing his legs, stood up against
the d"sk to talk to him like a plain
straightforward man of business, the
the Irish number of Parliament
could not understand it. To bo
brought suddenly iuto such close
ooutact with what he had regarded
as so distant and iuuooc.jsible as
tounded him. At every door, at
every turn, he waited for something
whioh did not appear, whioh did not
hsppon. lie was outirely unpro
parod (or the ' audience whioh ckiuo
to him so suddenly. If ha hud an
ticipated it he. would havo given
somo study to olliciul titles aud pro
per forms of addrost, but he was
taken unawares.
When the interview was ovor and
he had rcoovered his bro.ithing pow
ers, he remarked thst "your form of
g )verumout is wonderfully simple."
To somo very careful aud apprc
hintive people

might seem to he loo much exposed.
Day and night tho front gates of the
Wbito House grounds are ,ilo open
and tho winding path up to the uiau

t i in o tho gates and spreading lawns
in tho rear of the mansion are as
open and free to all, aud up to 2
o elock in tho afternoon the ground
floor of tho house, itself is open to ull
comers, and in the tourist season it
resembles a buy railroad station iu
the coustatit oot.cour.-e of people ar-
riving and departing.
But the President has an ablohodv
guard. Tho largest measure of lib
erty is giveu lroely,. but beyond that
there is no trespass. As a goneral
rule it is only tho-o who are known
to have business with the President
members of t onurees and the Cab

a i-pecial reoeptron is acoorded them
in i he East Ii.jotn. I have noticed
that no olass ot visitors expect so
much attention as these Grand Army
men when they come to Washington.
The bulk of them are gentlemanly
and as modest as any of tbeir neigh
bors, but there are odd members who
when they get on the uniform of
THE Oft AND ARMT OK TUB RE
and a little bad .whicky in, claim
everything, and are not satisfied even
with that. I have seen three or four
of thse fellows come to the White
Honso intoxicated, an hour after the
time annointed lor a special reeep
tion to thoir corps, and pour all
manner ot vile abuse upon the aoor
keepers (who are all very civil men)
because th-y would not "produce
Mr. Orover" on the snot. boh ob
streperous visitors sometimes have
to be ejected bodily, and whenever
such a prooeis becomes neccsxary
there is always -force enough on hand
to do it.
The President's household troops
consist of halt a dozen men detailed
from the Metropolitan polioe, who
discard their uniform, and as many
more who do not belong to tho
police. This foroe is divided into
three relays; one comes on duty at 8
o clock a.m. and rcnams, till
o'clock p.m.; another, set are on duty
from 4 o clock p.m. to midnight, and
the third from o'clock to 8 o'clock
a.m. There are always at least four
ot them on the premwefl, one roamiog
the ground outside aud the others
within tho house.
Tho captain of "the President's
household troors. is Ldson B. Dins
more, a big six footer, of atblotio
build, as suave as a diplomat, but as
brave as a lion, and as keon as a long
eipirienoo on the Metropolitan po
lice could mako a born detective.
Among the other faces which are
most familiar to callers at the White
House are those of little Sergt. John
son and big Billy J hi Bois, who are
both detailed from tho Metropolitan
police; John M. Jester and the tall
Adonis of tho "household troops"
whom the President brought from
Buffalo, and Michael J. Dwyer, a
sharp little fellow with a red nius
tnchel who camo from Albany to be
President Cleveland's "man Friday."
As a rule, wherever the Pres deit

very peculiar people. A rustic West
Virginian, with rawhide boots reach
ing up to his thigh, and a pair of dogs

a mother or a nurse with a screaming

and there aro sure to bo a greater or

women, for that part of it whose
design is to wait behind until nearly
everybody else has passed, that they
may get the car of tho Presidont for
some remarks generally with refer
ence to some cilice for themselves or
some ol their friends. Aud on special
occasions there aro special visitors.
For instance, ull tho eld habitues ex
pected that at the first public i after
noon roeoption after the President's
visit to Richmond a couple of mouths
ago, when so much was said about
Mrs. Cleveland deolimug to go,
which was attributed by some to the
fact ihat slio wanted to avoid meet
ing Miss Winnio Davis, the daughter
ol tho "Confederacy," that some
insult would bo offend to the Presi
dent hy some vengeful Virginian.
and cure ortoufjh , the avenger came,
in theper-oa of a rather good look
ing middle a,,'ed wotinn of haughty
with clocutionory effort, and when
alio was ready she announced to tho
I resident, with a cold, disdainlul
bow, that "next to tho pleasure of
being Miss Davis" her greatest
pleasure would have been to hnve
seon Mrs. Clevolnnd at Uichmond.
Hut the President has a nice way of
getting over all theso lit!L episodes.

Tho pleasant way in which he speaks
to the babies is enough to delight tho
heart of tho sternest mother. .Somo
times ho answers them in their own
baby language, to the great ttinu,o
nioiit of tho spectators. Occasion
ally a great, big, presumptuous fel
low comes forward and, grasping the
President's hand, siioutsout: "How
aro yo? How are yo?" with all tho
familiarity ut an old acquaintance
aud halt tho unnecessary vigor of a
boatswain in a storm. The Presi
dent in suoh a case never fails to
ecyre a good point and make a laugh

ing his manlier as imioh us good
taste and good humor will permit.
Tho President generally addresses
back "How arc ye? How are ye?"
with almost as good a swagger as the
visitor shows.
Few can excel hiin in the warmth
of a sympathetic greeting and a
cordial handshake. He genorally
pays tho caller in his own coin. To
tho silent one who shakes tho Prcsi-.
detitial hand with profound respoct,
he is silent and respcotful; with the
joker he will exchange jokes, and in
respouso to every remark he has
somothiug appropriate to say. The
majority of visitors pass along in
silence, shaking the President's hand
very timidly,. Some of these gaze
at the carpet as they pass along.

with uncommon enthusiasm and face
Uumiuatcd with au ccsta'io smile.
When they como up close to him
they involuntarily stop and would
annarcntlv stand still in silent ad
miration aud awe for the remainder
ot their lives, but a prod in the back
brings back tho consciousness that
there is a long Hue sf visitors bo
hind, aud that the procession must
move on. Those ccstatio gazers
generally stumble as they advance in
response to a prod in the back, and
whoa they pass along it is backward
they travel, with their eyes still
Cxod on tho Presidential cynosure,
as the eyes of a full laee picture
on a wall will follow jou in your
movements all over the room. The
avcrago greeting is : "Glad te see
you, sir." It is only one mun in a
sooro who has any speoial remark to
mako. 'carly every caller has pre
pared something in advance, bat
when he oomes to the scratch is gen
erally silent.
The bearing of the President on
these occasions resembles that of a
man taking aim and preparing to Ere
a gun, his head leaning over bia
right shoulder. Like the New York
er, the Kentucky man has always
something to say about bis Stats,
such as: "You have the heart of
Kentucky; here's the hand of a
Kentucky man." The Californian
seems to think he has a grievance in
the fact that the White House is so
far East. "You must come and see
us, Mr. President. We want to see
you out our way and will give you a
good time," he generally remarks.
To which the President replies, as
he advances his eagle tae to the
next in lin: "You're very kind.
Oh, yes; I'll be with you," and he
smiles blandly. Occasionally
with a ragged face and chin beard
comes along and makes some remark
about having been "a delegate to
thn convention." or. as hai pened
yesterday, mutters something about
a second term, and accompanies
the remark with a nod snd a wiuk
which would havo him kicked out of
any private parlor. The Southern
visitors are generally the most
reverential. 1 he J outsiana people
bow profusely like Frenchmen, but
have the good sense to make no re
marks. "God bless you, Mr. Presi
dent," was the fervent and cliarao-
teristio greeting yesterday of an old
North Caroli a man. And this man
of middle ago, address unknown,
with more than average audacity,
and a desire to be distinguished,
shook the r residents hand warmly,
aud, as he did so, observed: "This
must be very tiresome. Mr. Presi
dent." The President admitted that
it was. There was a woman from
Chicago in the line, a plump, buxom
woman, of aggressive mien, and with
strong mindedness marked in her
face, and as she approached the
l'resident she singled berselt troiu
the rest of her companions, with a
'sUud aside-pleaso" air, and when
she had oleared the arena she posed
and this is what fhe said: "Now
take a good look at me, Mr. Presi
dent; don't forget me; I want you to
remember me when you see me again,
tor 1 11 be looking tor an oltice some
of these days." Her boldness did
not create the favorable effect she
doubtless anticipated, for the Presi
dent did not even smile at her; he
allowed her to pass on unheeded and
extended Us hand to the next in
A very good view of the East room
where the receptions are held is
given in the picture the great wide
door with that little semi-circle
which has been reserved for him,
with Sergt. Johnson on his right and
Uinsmore on his lelt. Ihey both
stand a little in front of the'Presi
dent and servo as guide posts be
tween which the crowd of visitors
pass one by nno in a stream. As each
shakos the rresident by the hand he
passes out. There never have been any
serious disorders at one ot these re
ceptions, but it any trouble should be
threatened Dinsmore would be nuiok
to detoct the slightest sign, and it
would not last long. At all ot these
receptions the President has a strong
bodyguard ot newspaper reporters,
who gather in the oorners behind the
arm charis which flank the door.

New York, December 17. It is
not as yet midwinter, but it would
appear as if milliners had already
exhausted their ideas in headgear
for the cold weather and oouid no
longer invent new fancies to catoh
the eye of the women of fashion. The
newest conceit in this particular por
tion of woman's attire is- a turban
shape. It is made of velvet, which
may be in any of the popular dark er
neutral shades, and trimmed with
otter fur, being further garnished
with pompons ot otter and with broad
satin ribbons. In cold weather it is a
great advantage, not ody to feel
warn (though that is doubtless most
important to yourself) but to look
warm, and this particular form of
covering for the head, gives an ap
pearance of comfort, as well as
jauntiness, extremely in harmony
with the rosy cheeks and bright eyes
of beauty.
Turbans and other low shapes are
becoming very popular for wear to
the theaters, as there has been re
cently so muoh masculine comment
upon the total impracticability of
perceiving the progress of events
upon the stage through the medium
ot fifteen inches ot hat crown.
A movement is being urged not
only here in New York, but in many
large cities, to induce la lies to re
move their bonnets whilo in a place
of amusement. Indeed, tho manager
of the Lyceum, Mr. Daniel Froh
man, politely reminds his lady pat
rons in his programme of the great
accommodation they would render
those who are behind them by bo
doing.' As a consequence, no less
than thirty ladies in tho par
quet of the Lyceum took
off their bonnets on the first
night of On of Our Girh, and their
action should be approved and fol
lowed by all theater goers through
out the country. If they wish
further sanction for such a depart
ure from feminine tradition, it may
as well be stated that Mrs. Cleveland
has nit only warmly commended the
adoption ot such a rule, but has her
self promised to abide by it.
A neat home dress for a young
lady, reriresented in the illustration,
is in plain aud striped woolen ma
terials. The basque, of the plain
goods, opens over a vest, tho lower
part of which consists of a very deep
peasant's bodice, while tho upper
portion shows a plaited plastron of
surah. The wide buttoned revers,
cuffs and straight collar are of plain
velvet. The drapery, which is also
of the plain fabric, falls in a decn
nnd very graceful apron in front, and
is bouffant behind, whilo the pack
drapery is longer than usually worn,
and is caught up iu short folds all
the way down. 1 his costume would
also be serviceable as a promenade
dress for use during the afternoon,
and, in fact, will Ferve for a variety
of occasions.
1 ho cloth of gol i. whose richness
has been so often extolled by ancient
chroniclers, and vthich could "stand
alone" by reason of its heavy em
broideries in tno precious inct.il, lus
certainly been eclipsed by some of
the rich fabrics produced by our
modern looms. After comparing
the stuffs which are thought worthy
to attire our dames de socio'.e ot tho
prosent day with those with which
they were satisfied a few years ago, I
am assured that there is no limit to
luxury and no bounds t the invent
ive genius of men. I was shown the

beaded goods, besides the pop
ular evening shades, come in
Persian colors, and the effect in the
latter tints is odd and striking.
Thcv are intended to bo made ud in
combination with either plush, vel
vet or satin, or with velvet or plush
and satin, and they should be osed
to form the front breadth of the
skirt, while the side panels may be
of plush, and the bodice of satin,
trimmed with lace. The same ma
terial are shown in considerably
darker shades, for reception toilets.
Another oharmme Ubno has a
ground of Nile green faille Fran-
caise, with a pink center ot
plush, eut in extremely beautilul
floral designs.
A material having a plush ground
presents a iriso ngure whion gives
arfappearance as though ostrich tips
had been scattered broadcast over
the face of the goads. The figure
looks at a little distance very much
like what it is intended to represent,
and besides the way in whioh the
feathers are disposod upon the plush
is so graceful that this may bs men
tioned as one of the trinmphi of ths
seajon in xquisito drep roods. The
combinations of color used upok
them are very tasetefnl; a heliotrope
ground displays a' lavender figure;
ecru feathers are sprinkled upon s
field ot brown, or pink ones are eon
trasted with garnet.
Newmarkets, raglans, wrapt,'
saeqaes, muffs and boas these are ths
popular forms for making whioh ths
seal, bear, beaver, lynx (and it must
be said a far humbler member of ths
feline race) together with the wily
fox '.not sharp enough to save his
skin and that lover of moonlight
nights, the raeeoon, yield their hides
this season. This display of furs if
a very good one, and shows that their
popularity was never greater. Many
novelties have appeared this season,
and not least among them is the seal
skin dress, the baque and skirt of
which are entirely of fur. Seal plush
is not greatly worn, and when it is it
is usually trimmed with fur.

I watched snippets early in the season, but sadly, that's about it (cause of work).
What you reckon about tonight's final? Negotiations are underway if a new season would be made for next year, but nothing certain has been made. So tonight may potentially be the shows final episode ever. Thoughts?
I thought this season and the finale were excellent! I hope we get another season but if we don't it ended well.
