The Harry Potter Series by J. K. Rowling
Last summer, I mentioned off-hand to a couple friends that I hadn't read the Harry Potter books nor seen the movies. I was in high school when the first ones were published and suffice it to say that I had other things on my mind (How Harry managed to take on the Dark Lord while juggling classes and studying and coping with a massive influx of hormones is beyond me.). My friends were outraged ("And you call yourself a librarian?!" "For shame!"), and insisted that we read them together, back-to-back-to-back.
Each time we finished a book, we'd get together for a miniature Potter party, where we'd discuss the story, drink warm, homemade butterbeer, and watch the film adaptation. It was a lot of fun!
Last month, I finished reading the final entry, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and looking back, I've got to say the books absolutely lived up to all the hype. I loved them. J.K. Rowling is a masterful storyteller. She created a richly-detailed world with its own history and populated it with fascinating, fleshed-out characters.
From the time you first encounter Harry in his spider-infested cupboard under the stairs, his best friends Ron and Hermione aboard the Hogwarts Express, and their classmates and the faculty at Hogwarts in the bright, colorful, relatively carefree days of Sorcerer's Stone, you can't help but become attached to them. You watch them grow up in Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban, struggle with puberty and the inherent awkwardness in Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. And then, as the tale becomes almost overwhelmingly dark during Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows, you fret for these characters' safety and your heart aches to lose some of them.
If you haven't read this series, you're missing out. They are not to be dismissed as simple children's books. They are filled with action, suspense, mystery, horror, romance, comedy, and tragedy, and people of all ages can enjoy them.
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (Audiobook)
If you're anything like me, you've had full-blown, back-and-forth, soul-searching conversations with your dog. In which case, you'll be perfectly at ease listening to Racing in the Rain as narrated by Enzo, an amiable, highly intelligent mutt owned by a talented young race car driver named Denny.
Enzo loves his master so much, he's reluctant at first to welcome Denny's girlfriend Eve into their lives, but once Denny and Eve are married and their baby daughter Zoe arrives on the scene, the four of them become a happy little family. The main struggle of the story begins when Eve develops cancer and complications arise that could rend their family apart.
I actually listened to the audiobook version of this novel, read by Christopher Evan Welch, who does a marvelous job of portraying the charismatic canine Enzo, so I can wholeheartedly endorse that version. However, be forewarned: You will cry. You will sob and blubber uncontrollably at the end. I'm not ashamed to say I did.
Saints at the River by Ron Rash
This novel starts out on a tragic note. A 12-year-old girl wades into the middle of the Tamassee River, gets sucked under by the current, and drowns. Her corpse is trapped in an eddy underneath a powerful waterfall. Her distraught parents want to remove her body from the river and give her a proper burial, but the only safe way for divers to retrieve the body is to set up a temporary dam upriver and divert some of the water.
A group of hardcore environmentalists refuse to let this happen. The temporary dam would have to be secured by drilling into the Tamassee's bedrock, which would violate the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1978 and set a dangerous precedent that landscape developers would surely exploit.
Stuck in the middle of this heated debate is a newspaper photographer named Maggie Glenn who grew up on the river. Through Maggie's eyes, the author does a brilliant job of showing both sides of the story. Just when you think you have your mind made up one way, he makes a compelling argument for the other. The writing throughout is superb, particularly Rash's descriptions of the natural setting, which are poetic.
The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
Finally, I had to mention something by Mitchell. He's my favorite author, bar none, and I've read just about everything he's published. Each of his books is wildly different from the one that preceded it, and if you've read either Ghostwritten,/em> or Cloud Atlas(which was recently adapted into a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry), you'll know that even parts of the same book can diverge with abandon, bouncing from narrator to narrator, continent to continent, era to era. It almost seems like Mitchell is pushing his prodigious imagination to its very limits. You never know where he's going to take you next.
Jacob de Zoet is one of his most straightforward stories, so it might be a good one to begin with. It's set in 1799, in the Dutch trading colony of Dejima, located in Nagasaki harbor, and concerns forbidden love between a Dutch clerk named Jacob and a Japanese midwife named Orito.
There's also a whole cast of sneaky Dutch tradesmen, corrupt Japanese politicians, and a sinister mountain cult involved. There is a fair share of adventure to be had, some unexpected twists and turns. I would recommend Jacob de Zoet for Mitchell's gift with beautiful prose alone. Heck, I'd recommend anything this guy writes. His newest novel, The Bone Clocks, will hit bookstores early this fall and I'm so excited to snatch it up!

Animal bites and scratches that break the skin can sometimes cause infection. Some bites need to be closed with stitches while others heal on their own.
Rarely, animal bites (particularly from wild animals) can lead to rabies, a life-threatening disease. Bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes transmit most cases of rabies.
When seeking treatment, have the following information on hand:
Many animal bites can be prevented. Always keep a close eye on young kids around animals, even pets. Teach kids not to tease pets, to handle them gently, and to stay away from wild or stray animals.

Many surgeons order routine laboratory tests before admission to the hospital, or even before certain outpatient procedures, to identify potential problems that might complicate surgery if not detected and treated early. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some of the most common tests performed before surgery (and possible reasons/symptoms for which they are performed) are included in the following list:
The following tests, used on blood and urine specimens, measure certain substances and electrolytes in the body which should be normalized as much as possible before surgery:
If you have questions or concerns about any of the tests ordered by your physician, and the importance of having them, be sure to address them before having surgery.

We weren't sure back then that we wanted to be parents. Then all of the sudden, we were very sure, but I got sick, and we didn't know if we could be. And now, here we are. Here we are! With one Mia, and one tiny human-in-the-making, whose flips and flutters I'm just beginning to feel. Yep. I'm pregnant. And so happy, finally, to share this news with you. (It was a loooong first trimester. Though, damn, powdered macaroni and cheese never tasted so good.) We're due sometime around April 1.
I was much sicker for much longer with this pregnancy – hence the silence here – but I'm happy to report that things are better now. It's 8:43pm and I am conscious! I'm cooking again, and writing. I'm even eating the occasional green vegetable. Goooooo, second trimester!
We celebrated an important birthday here in the months since I last wrote, and there was cake. Back soon to tell you about it.

A Hendersonville native died a hero saving five children from a burning home. Now, one year after Steven Ramsey's death, his family is carrying on his legacy, hoping to save countless others by spreading fire safety awareness.
A Hendersonville native died a hero saving five children from a burning home. Now, one year after Steven Ramsey's death, his family is carrying on his legacy, hoping to save countless others by spreading fire safety awareness.
As they struggle with their grief and understanding of the fire that stole so much, family members search to pull something good from the ashes of their greatest tragedy.
"We've been trying throughout the year, not to make it OK, but just to make his sacrifice and his death mean something," his sister, Alisha Vazquez of Hendersonville, said. "To make sure that no one ever has to lose their loved one for something that can be avoided."
It was Jan. 21, 2012. Steven Ramsey was at home in Weaverville with his fiancee's three children and two of the kids' friends, who were enjoying a sleepover. A fire ignited in a basement trash can about 2:30 a.m. and quickly spread to combustible items until the gases that built up in the room exploded. Within five minutes, the home was fully engulfed in flames.
Smoke detectors didn't sound an alarm that night, leading investigators to believe their batteries were dead or they were disconnected.
The children smelled smoke first, said Lisa Thomas, Ramsey's mother.
The explosion woke Ramsey, who found the children and rushed them to safety. He told them to hold hands and run to a neighbor's home. The kids pleaded and cried for him to stay with them as he turned to go back into the inferno to save the family's pets.
The fire, however, was too intense. Ramsey could not reach the pets, so he left out the back door of the home, Thomas said.
In the hysteria of the moment, the fire marshal believes Ramsey heard the children crying and thought one might have gone back in after him when they didn't see him return through the front.
So he braved the blaze again … and never came out. Ramsey was 24 when he died.
"It takes a brave person to walk back in there to do what he did," Thomas said. "We still struggle with that every day. Why? Why did he have to go back in?"
The family said the scenario of the events plays over and over like a bad rerun as the anniversary of his death draws nearer.
Grief does not stop at the end of the funeral. When the crowds and the sympathy cards died down last year, Vazquez said, they needed to do something. She created a Facebook page in February: the "Steven Ramsey Fire Awareness" page.
They post fire-related articles and tips on fire safety and prevention. People across the world now follow their page.
Her stepfather, David Thomas, filmed a walkthrough of the scorched home where Ramsey died, offering life-saving tips. The video, "Hero dies in house fire," can be found on YouTube.
Thomas said the family's goal this year is to host its first fire safety event at Hendersonville Elementary, where Vazquez's children go to school. They hope to spread the message from there, reaching out to both parents and children.
"It's kind of one of those things you just don't talk about because you just don't think it's going to ever happen to you," Thomas said. "But since Steven's passing, it's something that — everybody we come in contact with — we're constantly urging them to have that conversation with their children."
She added that she's looking forward to getting involved in fire prevention activities this October for National Fire Prevention month.
Vazquez has been working with her children, Landon, 8, and Halle, 7, to make sure they know what to do in case of a fire. They know how to lift their windows and pop their screens out. They know the escape routes and where to go.
Every family should have an emergency plan, an escape route, a working smoke detector, a safe meeting point and know not to go back in the house, she said. She tells her children that if there is ever a fire, the most important thing is to find a way out.
Vazquez and Thomas went to Steven Ramsey's house the day after the fi re.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Vazquez said.
The fire marshal took them through, explaining the relentless blaze and how it spread.
"I remember my hands being stained black because we were just digging (through the ashes) trying to find something of his to keep that wasn't ruined," Vazquez said.
A life of material possessions now fits into a small memory box. The smell of smoke never really goes away.
Thomas keeps her daughters, Vazquez and Carrissa Ramsey, as close as possible these days.
Steven Ramsey's birthday was April 30. He would have been 25. The family held a birthday party for him on the Blue Ridge Parkway along a trail he used to hike with his sisters. They released 25 blue and white balloons scribbled with messages into the heavens. Thomas felt him near that day as she looked at a pair of birds who hovered comfortably close to the family.
"I think it was him letting us know, 'It's OK, it's OK, Mom," she said, with tears in her eyes. "He may be gone from us physically, but spiritually, you know, he's always with us."
Three days after Steven Ramsey's death, Thomas had a dream. Her son came to her in a field. He assured her that he was OK and that he loved her. She asked him to come back home. "You know I can't do that, Mom," he said.
She told him he was a hero. He said he was just doing what he had to do. He told her he loved her and that he had to go. She watched him vanish as he walked away.
"He did what was meant to be. Whether that was his destiny to be there to save those kids for whatever reason, his life's path took him there," Thomas said. "When we look back at his life and the things that happened and why they happened and where it led him to be where he was that night, I think it was just how it was supposed to be."

An Oklahoma man who called the police to report the teens accused of shooting 22-year-old Australian exchange student Christopher Lane says the killing was part of a gang initiation, and he claims that his own son was on a list of targets sought by the killers.
In an interview published by the Sydney Morning Herald, James Johnson said the teens charged with Lane's murder had attempted to recruit his 17-year-old son, Christopher, for the gang. When his son refused, his name was placed on the hit list, he said.
"The way I understand it, there's a list that pops up with my son's name at the top of the list and four others they were going to bump off," Johnson said.
"I don't think it was an initiation. I know it was an initiation," he continued. "My son told me it was an initiation."
Johnson said he did not know the other names on the purported list, including whether Lane's name was on it.
Lane, a baseball player from Melbourne, was shot once in the back as he was jogging in Duncan, Okla., on Friday. He died before paramedics arrived.
On Monday, prosecutors charged two of the boys, Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, with first-degree murder. A third boy, Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, was charged as an accessory to first-degree murder after the fact.
The two younger teens, who under Oklahoma law will be tried as adults, face life in prison without parole if convicted on the murder charge.
Johnson called police to report the teens were in front of his home several hours after Lane's death. Johnson said he was unaware of the earlier shooting.
"I just thank God I was there and that [my son] was not outside," he said. "They could have just driven past and shot him. I don't even like to contemplate that."
Police would not comment on Johnson's hit-list claim, which would seem to contradict initial reports that the teens were bored and shot Lane for fun.
News of Lane's death has sparked outrage in Australia. Tim Fischer, Australia's former deputy prime minister, is urging citizens to boycott travel to the United States in the wake of the slaying.
"You are 15 times more likely to be shot dead in the USA than you are here in Australia," Fischer said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday. "There is murder mayhem on Main Street USA every day of the week."
Fischer slammed U.S. lawmakers for turning a blind eye to "sensible" gun control and lashed out at the National Rifle Association for using the Second Amendment as a shield against it.
"You let your congressmen and senators escape and dance around the bush when it's a very real circumstance supported by the NRA," Fischer said. "I've been to the Philadelphia Constitutional Museum. I've looked at your Second Amendment. I don't believe your Second Amendment provides for semi-automatics or automatics in the suburbs. This is why Australians and anybody else should think carefully about traveling to the USA, until you start to make a move on gun and firearm sensible control."
He added: "I enjoyed taking my family on the Coastal Starlight on Amtrak from Los Angeles to Seattle a few years ago. I'll think twice about it again because of your massacre level."

Classic early 80's hardcore; most of the material has been unavailable for over a decade!
Articles of Faith was one of the premier American hardcore bands of the early '80s. Combining thrash, reggae, and noise, the group was notable for its political lyrics, three-guitar attack, and sponsorship of the Chicago scene. AOF released two Eps and two LPs, and toured North America many times from 1983-1985. The group disbanded in 1985, but reunited with all original members for a brief European tour in 1991. They have not played together since.
These two AOF releases (see Vol. 1 here) compile all the vinyl releases of AOF, and have never been released on CD in the United States.
Contains AOF material from 1983- 1985 : All tracks from the second EP
Wait, the second Bob Mould-produced LP, In This Life (1985); 3
Bonus Tracks and 1 unreleased live track. (CD contains 18 tracks; LP has 16
Vic Bondi, the band's leader was also in Jones Very.

"At this point they were beginning to move away from the more primal roar of hardcore though fortunately they didn't move into rock (at least not more than a little bit) or the dreaded metal/crossover that claimed many a formerly-worthy band. Not as fast and frenzied as "Five O'Clock" but there's still some powerful and impassioned tuneage here for your perusal."- Shredding Paper
"In Hüsker Dü's heyday, Bob Mould paid a great deal of lip service to two lesser-known Midwestern bands: Die
Kreuzen and Articles of Faith. Neither has received much exposure from the revisionist tastemakers out to
prove their canonical knowledge of the underground online.Critics and fans still argue over which band was the first to move beyond the naďve political lyrics and
four-chord call-and-response anthems of early 80s punk. It's a safe bet to say the first and best apolitical,
personal punk rock came from Hüsker Dü, who looked inward almost from the start, but groups like Mission of
Burma and R.E.M. reduce these black-and-white arguments to dust. What people are striving to acknowledge in
these debates is that certain bands-- like the Dischord acts everyone points toward-- were able to outgrow
comparatively amateurish, frenetic origins, and record punk songs that conveyed more than simple (often
misguided) rebellion. Articles of Faith are a textbook case, one of half a dozen or so American bands to
have named a song "Buried Alive".Articles of Faith were often accused of ripping off the DC punk sound in their early days, and that may be
true to an extent, but they put forward hook-driven rock 'n' roll choruses comparable to those Slapshot and
Youth of Today were laying down a few years later. While writing and recording their first wave of not-quite
formulaic hardcore, full of left wing political preening ("Prison", "Street Fight", "Bad Attitude"), Articles
of Faith penned a tune as startlingly ahead of its time as the best Mission of Burma tracks. "Every Man for
Himself", from the 1984 LP Give Thanks, is the sound of art rising from the mire of accepted forms.
The recently reissued recordings Fugazi members made as One Last Wish in 1986 offer a similar glimpse into
the inspiring results possible when talented musicians feel the impetus to break out of their accepted roles.After recording Give Thanks, the band hit their stride with the Wait EP, three tracks that set
personal anxiety against the macho fraternity pressure invading hardcore. "I've Got Mine", the title track,
and "Buy This War" are inexplicably ignored standouts within a massively overrated, overexploited genre.
Laid alongside the band's 1985 finale, In This Life, and in contrast to the simpler material on
Volume 1, the second of these two single-disc anthologies is remarkably superior. Taking some
inspiration from their supporters in Hüsker Dü, the band got serious about songwriting, something very few
punk acts bothered to do in the 80s. Like Dag Nasty, who came in their wake, Articles of Faith mastered the
screaming punk guitar lead, and injected vocal harmonies to bring their songs out from under the monotonous
chanting punk rock was still trapped in."- Pitchfork

Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance that can be found in all parts of your body. It aids in the production of cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in your blood comes from two sources: the foods you eat and your liver. However, your liver makes all of the cholesterol your body needs.
Cholesterol and other fats are transported in your blood stream in the form of spherical particles called lipoproteins. The two most commonly known lipoproteins are low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
|What is LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
|What is HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, is a type of fat in the blood that contains the most cholesterol. It can contribute to the formation of plaque buildup in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis, which is linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
You want your LDL to be low. To help lower it:
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good"
You want your HDL to be as high as possible. Some people can raise HDL by:
For others, medicine may be needed. Because raising HDL is complicated, you should work with your physician on a therapeutic plan.
A cholesterol screening is an overall look at, or profile of, the fats in your blood. Screenings help identify people at risk of heart disease. It is important to have what is called a full lipid profile to show the actual levels of each type of fat in your blood: LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and others. Consult your physician regarding the timing of this test.
High blood cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Lowering blood cholesterol through increased physical activity, weight loss, smoking cessation, and proper diet lowers that risk. Blood cholesterol, however, is very specific to each individual and, for that reason, a full lipid profile is an important part of your medical history and important information for your physician to have. In general, healthy levels are as follows:
In some individuals who already have coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or who have an increased number of risk factors for coronary heart disease, a physician may determine that the LDL cholesterol level should be kept lower than 130. Recent studies have shown that those who are at highest risk for a heart attack should lower their LDL cholesterol level to less than 100, and that an LDL cholesterol level of 70 or less may be optimal for those individuals at the very highest level of risk. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Medical treatment may include:
Elevated cholesterol is a risk for many Americans. Consider these statistics:
Triglycerides are another class of fat found in the bloodstream. The bulk of your body's fat tissue is in the form of triglycerides.
The link between triglycerides and heart disease is under clinical investigation. However, many people with high triglycerides also have other risk factors such as high LDL levels or low HDL levels.
Elevated triglyceride levels may be caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or liver disease. Dietary causes of elevated triglyceride levels may include high intake of fat, alcohol, and concentrated sweets. A healthy triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/d.

text: Namco Bandai's IGNITE event in San Francisco turned out to be pretty interesting, full of new game announcements for 2011 and beyond. Some of the biggest news stemmed from the publisher's new relationship with From Software. In fact, the event kicked off with new trailers for Armored Core V and Dark Souls, which are making their way around the internet now. Those attending the event were even treated to a live demo of some Dark Souls gameplay, which (fans of Demon's Souls will be pleased to note) seems to be headed down the path of the bigger, better, and more devious. And don't worry, while Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, rather than a direct sequel, we've been promised more of the hardcore, tactical-action based hack-and-slash that made the first game such a breakthrough success. The developers also seemed to quite proud to continue the tradition of killing you repeatedly, explaining that they expect some players to "start laughing because they're dying so much." I'll chat with Garnett and Jeff about it a bit more on this Friday's episode of Weekend Confirmed, so tune in for more details. And, in case you missed it: Field Report: DC Universe Online Dragon Age 2 Demo Confirmed for Feb 22 DICE Cancels PC Editions of Battlefield 1943 and Bad Company 2 'Onslaught' DLC to Focus on BF3

Ulaanbaatar city & Around
Like nearly one half of the Mongolian population, the capital city of Ulaanbaatar herself is a nomad. It is recorded that the city changed locations more than twenty times before finally settling in the Tuul river valley and the Four Holy Peaks in 1778. Mongolia's capital is a vibrant city with 1 million residents, and has remained constant as the political, economic and cultural center of the nation, and as a city of rich in both character and contrast. Indeed, there aren't many world capitals in which you can ride a horse, visit a nomadic family and enjoy fine dining and luxurious spa treatments all in same day.
Ulaanbaatar city Introduction: Ulaanbaatar is the capital city of located on the basin of beautiful Tuul River, on the northern side of the Bogd Mountain a national protected area. Similar was the story with its name: Orgoo (1639-1706); Ikh Khuree (1706 - 1911); Niislel Khuree (1911 - 1923); and finally Ulaanbaatar (since 1924). In 1639 a fluent khalkha feudal lord Tusheet Khan Gombodorj elevated his son Zanabazar of 5 years to the head of the Buddhist religion and in his honor a nomadic town was named Urge. From 1639 for about 140 years it was a migrant city, until it became to settled finally in 1778 in its present location. After the victory of the People's Revolution, inaugurating a new era in the history of the development of the town.
The Zanabazar Museum of Fine Art: Building constructed in 1905 as a department store, converted to museum in 1965. The Zanabazar Fine Art Museum is full collection of art works by artists, sculptures and painters of Mongolia from the ancient era to the modern time and even the ancient men who lived in this land during the Stone and Bronze ages. There are a number of rock inscriptions, graphic arts, Buddhist paintings, embroideries, as well as unique Tsam dancing costumes. The most valuable and beautiful exhibits are works of Zanabazar, the great sculptor and artist of the 17th century, who is also the first theocratic ruler of Mongolia. His 21 Tara statues and other works are displayed.

Easily convert numbers to their representations in different bases. Passing
"ibase=16; obase=8; F2A"
to bc will convert F2A (3882 in decimal) from Hex to Octal, and so on.
Useful for quick calculations at the command line. $math_expr is any arithmetic expression (see sample output):
More options in the bc man page.
Allows for quick mass renaming, assuming the user has some familiarity with regular expressions. Basically, it replaces the original_file_name in the output of ls with
"mv -v original_file_name new_file_name"
and passes the output to sh.
parses the output of ifconfig to show only the configured ip address (in this case from interface eth0).

It's sometimes useful to strip the embedded fonts from a pdf, for importing into something like Inkscape. Be warned, this will increase the size of a pdf substantially.
I tried this with only gs writing with -sDEVICE=pdfwrite but it doesn't seem to work, so I just pipe postscript output to ps2pdf for the same effect.
When you run a memory intensive application (VirtualBox, large java application, etc) swap area is used as soon as memory becomes insufficient. After you close the program, the data in swap is not put back on memory and that decreases the responsiveness. Swapoff disables the swap area and forces system to put swap data be placed in memory. Since running without a swap area might be detrimental, swapon should be used to activate swap again.
Both swapoff and swapon require root privileges.
helps you keep watch on the load of a system, without having to stare constantly at the terminal. The -d argument to watch highlights the difference from the last run, making it easier to note how the load is fluctuating. The sed command just strips off the information about how long the box has been up, and how many users are logged in.
Mount an smb share with this command. other options -ousername=$USERr,gid=$groupname,scope=rw
The arguments of "seq" indicate the starting value, step size, and the end value of the x-range. "awk" outputs (x, f(x)) pairs and pipes them to "graph", which is part of the "plotutils" package.
Displays six rows and five columns of random numbers between 0 and 1. If you need only one column, you can dispense with the "for" loop.
This example calculates the averages of column one and column two of "file.dat". It can be easily modified if other columns are to be averaged.
I use this to convert mp3 files to m4a files that can be used as ringtones on the iPhone. I've documented the process here: http://www.control-d.com/?p=60
Takes filenames and directory names and replace space to '_'.
The queryformat option can be used in a number of ways to find things like duplicate packages, wrong arch, or the exact package to pass to rpm -e, yum remove, etc.
Another combination of seq and awk. Not very efficient, but sufficiently quick.

Soundtrack to black humor film thriller showing how tabloid media is used to control an increasingly repressed and brain-dead society. Parallels to today's reality are so uncanny that it should be shown on primetime before every U.S. election.
Jello Biafra, Peter Breck (Shock Corridor, The Big Valley) and D.O.A.'s Joey Keithley act in the film.
Jello Biafra, DOA, Nomeansno, Beatnigs, Evan Johns and the H-Bombs, Nomeansno, Gerry Hannah (from the Canadian Subhumans), the Groovaholics, I Braineater, Jello Biafra and DOA, Jello Biafra and Nomeansno, Jello Biafra and Keith LeBlanc, all on one kick ass soundtrack. The Jello Biafra/DOA tracks ended up being expanded into the rockin' full-length called Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors, while the Jello/Nomeansno song was expanded to become the classic The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy record by Jello Biafra & Nomeansno.
Heck, who needs the movie- how could it ever live up to its soundtrack? Ha ha ha... that's a joke, track down this flick and dig it, true believer!
"Nary a speck of optimism in Terminal City, where rock music is banned, guitars are illegal weapons, television "is the drug of a nation, breeding ignorance, and feeding radiation," (Beatnigs) and the "greenhouse is so hot it stinks" (Jello Biafra with Nomeansno). The '80s are history and the '90s kick in with an evil eye government and corrupt watchdogs. Who better to satirize this junk culture than the PMRC-harassed Biafra, who joins Nomeansno, D.O.A., and Tackhead's Keith LeBlanc on this compilation - actually a soundtrack to a Canadian film in which Biafra appears and which still awaits Stateside release. Also appropriate is a track from Gerry Hannah, former bassist/songwriter for Vancouver's Subhumans, who recorded an album inside a Canadian prison during a ten-year sentence for blowing up a nuclear weapons plant. There's intensity and musical variety fuming through this city, as shards of truth bounce off a wall of exaggeration and it's us little folk who get slashed in the face."- Rockpool, March 1990

When we moved in to our current home, the first detail we noticed was that our modern bedroom was quite a bit smaller than our previous home. It wasn't a huge deal because we had already downsized our belongings. But I still wanted the space to look spacious and bright. To do this in any space, all you need to do is keep with a bright white scheme.
This calls for a pretty white on the walls. The great thing about white paint is that you can pair it with any color that you'd like. When painting with color, it binds you to that specific color scheme. The bedroom above started with white walls and then added a fun yellow stripe down the wall and into the floors.
Another detail to remember when working with a small bedroom space is white bedding makes everything better. Well, maybe not literally but it sure makes for a sophisticated yet playful bedroom. One of my favorite things about hotels is the pretty crisp white bedding that you crawl into every night. You can have that same feel in your own space. I also like the way hotels are using hanging pendant lights in their bedroom designs. The room above is a great example of both elements.
A modern color scheme that is timeless is the classic black and white duo. It can be left alone or can be added onto with other colors. Again, the white makes everything seem more open and the black just adds some drama to a stark space. This bedroom shown above is a perfect example of black and white done right. Another way to achieve this look is by adding contemporary black lighting fixtures to an all white room.

I absolutely love pendant lights. They area a fantastic way to add lighting and character to a space without taking up any of your table space or your square footage. I am currently in the market for some great modern pendant lights for a corner in my living room as well as a few to go over my dining room table and I am loving these options.
Olde Bronze Mini Pendant Light
I love this bronze pendant. It looks like the perfect mixture of modern, antique, and industrial. It would look amazing in pretty much any space.
St Charles Jamie Young Pendant Chandelier
This amber glass pendant looks so chic doesn't it? The color is beautiful and the shape is just killing me!
Marcel Metallic Mini Pendant
I am in love with this light. It looks so fancy and fine but without being pretencious. The brass is of course amazing, and the hammered look gives it some texture.
Tetra Tiffany Style Pendant
Going right along with the beloved geometric trend, this light is perfect! The bold white and black pattern and the faceted texture are enough to make a statement but not take over the space.

Have you sat down and pondered over how to make the most of your compact living quarters? Well we have and our first solution is in the bedroom. Whether it be a kids room or an adults room there are many ways of integrating multiple beds and functioning elements into a space. The Murphy bunk beds (above) are painted in a bright color so when it's closed it becomes an accent wall and only the homeowner knows whats hiding beneath. This is a great solution for adding additional beds in an open space.
Layering and stacking the free floating beds clears up the floor space and creates a very playful feel in this modern kids room. Industrial wall sconces allow each of the individual beds to have their own light to control so bed times don't all have to be at the same time!
LBL Geoform Modern Silver Round Outdoor Wall Light
Using structural elements and carving out little cubbies for sleeping is a brilliant idea. What kid or even adult for that matter wouldn't love to dream away inside their own little cave?
Not only does this modern bunk bed look beautiful, but what a great way to integrate modern storage solutions. The use of modern wall lamps not only lights up each nook but adds so much character to each space.
Jonathan Adler Parker Brass Swing Wall Lamp
Finding sleeping solutions for compact living is not only a solution for kids bedrooms, but adults as well. This structure (above) not only looks beautiful but provides so much storage and function within one central element. It's the perfect solution for your small studio apartment.
Sleep and creativity go hand in hand! So start dreaming about all the solutions for your space today!

It's been nearly six years since I took the plunge and opted to shift my business model from working for a wirehouse to becoming an independent registered investment advisor. I've been chronicling my journey on this website and in the pages of Investment Advisor for about five and a half years.
[See here the first Investment Advisor article from Mike's Road to Independence series from 2007; see his first of many blogs on going independent here; view a selection of his "Road to Independence" articles here, and view all of Mike's articles—covering everything from client communications to Monte Carlo use— here.-Ed.]
Today, I'm happy to report that January 2013 is shaping up to be my best month so far! If you're an advisor working for a large wirehouse or bank, I would encourage you to consider independence. Sure, there are pros and cons to independence as with any platform, but in the end, if you are self-motivated, independence may be a desirable choice.
Review Update
I am in the midst of review season and have an interesting situation. Even though my number of clients continues to rise, fewer are opting to review their account. When I inquire, I hear comments like, "I trust you are doing what needs to be done." Trust is the single most important thing a client needs to possess and I am elated to know that my clients seem to have it. Elated, and yet humbled. Human nature being what it is, it's often true that when we reach a certain goal we often stop doing the things that got us there. In other words, we tend to rest on our laurels. That's a mistake I hope to avoid.
Letter to Clients
In an effort to enhance my communication with my clients, and address the review issue, I have made a proposal to all clients: to send them a periodic letter with an explanation of my actions. It's similar to a "letter to shareholders," you might say. The letter would contain two sections. Section one would discuss my thoughts on the economy and financial markets. Section two would provide them with an explanation of some of the actions I have taken and why.
As I make changes in clients' accounts, this would provide an opportunity to inform them of my reasoning behind the moves. I also recognize that clients are busy and the letter will allow me to keep them informed in a concise format which requires a minimal time commitment on their part. I have to say clients' response to my offer has been overwhelmingly positive.
I will close this post by saying that independence is great and I highly recommend it to anyone that seeks to run their own business and provide clients with a high level of personalized service. Because that's what it's all about!

Last month, in a Globe and Mail column titled "Netanyahu's in – his drama's on the right," Shira Herzog provided readers with solid insights into the Jan. 22 Israeli election.
Numerous polls indicate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose Likud party has formed an alliance with Yisrael Beiteinu to form Likud-Beiteinu, is heavily favoured to win. The question is what sort of coalition arrangement would result, given the strong rise, to Netanyahu's right, of Naftali Bennett's religious-nationalist "Jewish Home" party.
Herzog referred to "the pervasive swing to the right in the country's political discourse, which mirrors public attitudes that have deepened over the past decade." But she immediately added the essential context for this shift: "Scarred by the bloody Palestinian intifadah of 2000, wars in Lebanon and Hamas-dominated Gaza and ongoing rocket attacks, Israelis have little appetite for an agreement with the Palestinians, even though, in principle, they support the notion of two states."
Israelis have indeed reacted to the hostility and rejectionism they have encountered for many years and continue to see on virtually every front. Still, it's important to note that Israelis have not moved to the right. Rather, some of the key conservative parties have shifted further right.
Although Herzog stated that Israelis have "little appetite" for an agreement with the Palestinians, it's perhaps more apt to say that Israelis have "little faith" that such an agreement is even possible at this time. In an interview with Gil Hoffman (in the Dec. 31 Jerusalem Report), Isaac Herzog, second on the Labor party list, discussed the necessity of trying to reach an agreement with the Palestinians. However, Herzog added: "A lot depends on the issue of trust, and currently there isn't any. The Palestinians earned their lack of trust. Abbas is a tough partner. Israel should expose him."
That observation is key, since much reporting and commentary on this subject simply assumes that if only Israel makes the expected gestures, the Palestinians would readily say yes to a deal. Sadly, the facts show otherwise.
Despite their pessimism about the feasibility of a peace agreement, Israelis still support in principle the idea of a two-state solution, as Herzog noted.
Opinion surveys confirm this trend. For instance, as reported in the Jerusalem Post in December, a Smith Research poll showed that "58 per cent of Israelis would prefer to see Israel remain as a Jewish, democratic state through fixed state borders along the route of the West Bank security barrier, seeing Israel preserve its character alongside a demilitarized Palestinian state." Significantly, 78 per cent are concerned that Israel could become a binational state, putting its Jewish and democratic character at risk. The Post also reported a finding by the Israel Democracy Institute that 58 per cent of Israelis don't believe that a two-state solution will end the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
A poll conducted by New Wave Research this month for Israel Hayom, a paper that backs Netanyahu, matches the above-cited results quite closely: 54 per cent favour a two-state solution while 38 per cent oppose the idea. However, 54 per cent say the two-state solution isn't feasible. According to New Wave, Israelis are evenly divided (43 per cent pro to 43 per cent con) on the question of whether, for the sake of engendering talks with the Palestinians, Israel should halt building homes in the West Bank.
In a nutshell, this captures Israel's predicament. A clear majority supports a two-state solution, while at the same time (and by the same margin) Israelis fear it cannot be achieved due to the absence of a committed Palestinian partner.
Polling firms often report that a majority of Palestinians also support a two-state solution, despite some erosion in favour of one state. Still, unless the pollsters ask the Palestinians who say they support "two states" whether they're willing to confine a "right of return" only to a Palestinian state, this finding is misleading. Unfortunately, pollsters rarely, if ever, ask these two questions together – and thus overlook the core rejectionism that plagues Palestinian nationalism.

Lauren Wheeler still gets a personalized tour when she walks around campus with her parents, OC grads Heather and Carl Wheeler.
"Well, Mom always takes a few minutes to point out the first place she saw Dad, where they first talked, first kissed, and where he proposed. The proposal story is definitely my favorite," said Lauren, a senior biology major from Topeka, Kansas.
Indeed, that proposal story is legendary to alumni, circa 1984. It was during Homecoming, and Heather was starring as Laurie in the musical "Oklahoma." Carl took a line from Curly, pulled Heather outside the Hardeman stage before the curtain opened, and popped the question.
Heather's real-life answer, of course, was less reluctant than Laurie's "Why would I wanna marry you?"
Heather said "yes" and the rest is OC history still in the making. Lauren and her brother Lane are current OC students; LaVon just graduated from Oklahoma Christian as a biology major with a music minor. She also was a member of OC's Honors Program.
"If I had 1,000 re-dos of where to go to college, I'd choose OC every time. I love it here," Lauren said. "OC has a very high acceptance rate into med school, an excellent music program, and I love being on a Christian campus. It's close to home and feels like a second home since my family has gone through here."
Heather, a music teacher, and Carl, an attorney, have been very intentional about exposing their kids (and all of the other kids they know) to Oklahoma Christian through summer camps, visits and hosting OC groups at their home congregation.
"I didn't grow up in a Christian household so I didn't have that Christian family to rely on other than at church. Then, when I came to OC, and all of a sudden I had two or three thousand Christian folks that became my family," said Carl, who specializes in child support enforcement for Young Williams Support Services. "Some of my closest friends that I met and made here at OC, I'm still very close with and still feel like family, and their kids feel like family."
Heather has encouraged her children to get involved and make friends because that's what she did.
"I've finally realized how wise my parents really are," LaVon said. "They have always encouraged me to do my homework first, but to also go have fun with people in all my free time. Your college friends will be some of your best friends for the rest of your life."
That's true for Heather and her friend Laura Earp, who met their first week on campus about 30 years ago. They ended up becoming roommates, being unofficially adopted as another daughter in each other's families, and were in each other's weddings when Heather married Carl and Laura married Philip Autrey.
They have stayed in touch, and they visit each other's homes in Topeka and in Arlington, Texas, where Laura and Philip live with their three kids, including Victoria, a current OC student.
Heather was there for Laura when she was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. As Laura battled the aggressive cancer that had advanced to her bones, Heather sprang into action to tend to Laura's spirit. She set up a Facebook page for updates and prayer requests.
"She can get action out of people, big time," said Laura, who said she is very grateful for Heather's energy and for the power of prayer.
Heather also gave Laura a gift. After asking Laura's friends for their favorite scriptures, Heather painstakingly highlighted them in a Bible she gave her.
"She did this for me. And every time I open that Bible, I see something new and who sent it to me. It is the most precious gift," Laura said.
Laura recently received good news about her health. Her tumor markers are lower than they've been, and although she remains on chemo, she is very optimistic and grateful.
"So many people prayed for me. That's what did it," she said. "That's why I'm here today."
That's what friends are for.

Josh Huestis sets blocks record in Stanford win
Updated 5:44 am, Friday, February 21, 2014
At 6-foot-7, Josh Huestis is not a towering figure on a basketball court. Yet he is Stanford's career record holder in blocked shots.
With three more Thursday night in an 80-59 trouncing of last-place USC, he boosted his total to 169, two more than the previous record holder, Tim Young (1994-99).
He also grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds and scored 11 points as Stanford (17-8, 8-5 Pac-12) moved into a tie with Cal and Arizona State for fourth place in the conference.
Dwight Powell, despite a seven-minute break in the first half after receiving a cut on the back of his head, scored 14 points. Chasson Randle hit all 10 of his free throws and scored a game-high 18 points, and Anthony Brown added 13 points.
But Huestis was the big story. He's five inches shorter than Young and much shorter than Arizona State's 7-2 Jordan Bachynski (the Pac-12 leader) and most of the other top shot blockers in the conference.
"He has tremendous timing," coach Johnny Dawkins said of Huestis. "I can promise you I didn't teach him that. It's a gift that he has. The thing I've always admired is his ability to know when not to block them. A lot of times, guys that block shots try to get everything, and you're in foul trouble all the time because you're constantly off your feet.
"He picks his spots well. We've all been fortunate to watch him play here for the four years because that's a remarkable record to break when you're only 6-7."
Despite making just two of 19 shots from long range, Stanford ran away from the short-handed Trojans (10-16, 1-12) in the second half. USC shot just 35 percent.
Byron Wesley, a junior guard who was leading the Trojans in scoring (17.6 points per game) and rebounds (6.9 per game), was suspended for an undisclosed violation of team rules, USC announced before the game. He'll also miss Sunday's game at Cal.
USC's starting point guard, Pe'Shon Howard, returned from his own one-game suspension for a team-rules violation. He led USC with 13 points, and freshman Julian Jacobs had 11.
Powell collided with USC's Strahinja Gavrilovic during the opening minutes. Gavrilovic was called for a foul, and Powell was escorted to the locker room with a cut on his head.
After receiving three stitches, he returned to the game seven minutes later, wearing a bandage around his head and a new number, 32. His regular 33 jersey was bloodied.
"He got a nice little cut there, but he's a warrior, a tough kid," Randle said.
The incident caused some anxious moments for Dawkins. "You never know what's going on when there's a pool of blood on the floor, and your man is being taken to the training room," he said. "Fortunately, everything was good with him."

You can only get shingles if you already had chickenpox and the dormant virus from the chickenpox infection becomes reactivated. Since only 20% of people who have had chickenpox develop shingles, researchers are still trying to determine what makes some people more likely to develop shingles than others.
Some of the factors that make people more likely to develop shingles include:
Health Conditions
If you have a weakened immune system, you are more likely to develop shingles. Conditions that increase your risk include:
- History of childhood cancer
- Current cancer, especially Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphoma, and leukemia
- HIV infection or AIDS
- Diabetes
- Chronic health conditions that may alter your immune system
Medications and Procedures
Certain procedures and medications may increase your risk, such as:
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Steroids
- Medications to suppress the immune system
People over age 60 are more likely to develop shingles than younger people.
Ethnic Background
Caucasian people are more likely than African Americans to develop shingles.
