Don Giovanni
There are no products matching the selection.
DON GIOVANNI | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This masterpiece from Mozart's quill and the congenial librettist Da Ponte, about the womanizer who suddenly does not want to succeed in any conquest, does not count for nothing since the premiere of one of the most popular works from this composer.
Don Giovanni has furtively slipped into the house of the Commandant to visit the latter's daughter Donna Anna, leaving his servant Leporello to keep watch outside the house. Suddenly Don Giovanni rushes out. The Commandant, summoned by Donna Anna's cries for help, challenges Don Giovanni and is killed in the duel. Donna Anna's fiancé Don Ottavio arrives too late: all he can do is swear vengeance. Don Giovanni is on the lookout for new adventure. As he approaches a lady, he realizes that it is none other than Donna Elvira, the fiancée whom he jilted. Don Giovanni beats a retreat, leaving Leporello to explain to the lady that her name is only one in a long list of conquests. As if by chance, Don Giovanni appears at the wedding of Zerlina and Masetto, playing the part of a grand seigneur. He has absolutely no difficulty in beguiling the young bride. However, Donna Elvira arrives to warn her: this time she is successful in reuniting Zerlina with her bridegroom. Don Giovanni joins Donna Anna and Don Ottavio, even going so far as in offer his assistance in the search for the murderer. Once again Donna Elvira spoils his game. Only when Donna Anna and Don Ottavio are alone again does Donna Anna realize than the man who murdered her father that night is none other than Don Giovanni. Her vengeance will now be directed against him. Don Ottavio vows in do everything he can in restore Donna Anna's peace of mind. Masetto is furious with Zerlina on account of Don Giovanni. For the time being she manages to placate her enraged bridegroom, but not for long. Don Giovanni has by no means given up his designs on Zerlina, and thus incites Masetto in a renewed fit of temper. In order to obtain the object of his desires, Don Giovanni has invited the couple and the wedding guests in a feast, which three masked figures are also invited in attend. Zerlina has once again entrusted herself in the lecherous Don Giovanni. When she calls for help, the strangers remove their masks: they are Donna Anna, Donna Elvira and Don Ottavio. Once again Don Giovanni manages in escape their vengeance.
Leporello is determined in leave his master: however a bag of gold soon changes his mind. It is not long before he has another opportunity in serve his master: this time Don Giovanni is after Donna Elvira's maid. Don Giovanni exchanges clothes with Leporello to enable him to serenade her undisturbed. Leporello will have to imitate his master's voice and gestures in order to fool Donna Elvira, who still loves Don Giovanni. She hurries away with the man she supposes to be her lover. Don Giovanni seizes the opportunity to play a trick on Masetto. Disguised as Leporello, he tells the peasants that he has left his master's service, and sends them off in different directions to capture Don Giovanni. Only Masetto remains behind, and receives a good beating from Don Giovanni. Zerlina comforts her bruised Masetto, and the two are reconciled once more. Leporello, disguised as Don Giovanni, tries to find a way out of the difficult situation in which his master has put him. Re reveals his identity only when confronted by Donna Anna and Don Ottavio, Donna Elvira – who has been cheated once again –, Masetto and Zerlina. He manages to effect his escape in the general confusion. Donna Elvira determines in break away from Don Giovanni. Master and servant meet again in a churchyard. Don Giovanni is interrupted by something quite unexpected: the statue on the Commandant's grave speaks to him. Whereas Leporello trembles like a leaf, Don Giovanni invites the statue to a banquet. The statue nods its head in acceptance. Don Ottavio wishes in bring forward his marriage to Donna Anna. However, she reproves him, assuring him of her love: her father's death must first be avenged. Don Giovanni is enjoying his evening meal to the full: there is music playing, and Leporello to wait on him. At this moment Donna Elvira enters. Filled with foreboding, she tries once again to persuade Don Giovanni to mend his ways, but he merely laughs at her. As she leaves the room, she emits a scream of horror. Leporello, filled with fear, announces the arrival of the statue. Fearlessly Don Giovanni goes to meet it. The statue calls on Don Giovanni in do penance, but he will not hear of it. His fate is sealed with a handshake. When Don Giovanni's pursuers arrive on the scene, Leporello is only able to tell them about his master's downfall. The survivors will now be able to get on with their own lives.

Jon Bon Jovi Stars in New Advil Commercial
Jon Bon Jovi isn't spending his time recovering from recent knee surgery on his couch. The popular frontman is busy making movies, opening restaurants and now starring in pain medication commercials. That's right, you can currently find Bon Jovi pitching the benefits of Advil.
"Pain doesn't have much of a place in my life, I checked the schedule and it's not on it," he says laughing in the 30 second spot below. Fans get a glimpse of Bon Jovi on stage, hanging out with his son and giving orders inside a restaurant — presumably his new soul food restaurant in New Jersey.
"Life's a juggling act, when I have to get through the pain, I know where to go." Bon Jovi tore his MCL in June during a rainy show in Finland. It didn't slow him down however, and he was able to finish the band's 2011 tour schedule without having to postpone or cancel any shows. He was seen wearing a brace immediately after the surgery.

Last week a judge ordered a Washington, D.C., woman to remove statements she made about her contractor on the review site Yelp — a move lawyers say highlights how easy the Internet makes it to cross the line from criticism to defamation.
Christopher Dietz, owner of contractors Dietz Development in Washington, D.C., is suing Jane Perez for $750,000, alleging lost work opportunities and damage to his reputation. After he worked on her townhouse, Perez gave Dietz an "F" rating on Angie's List and wrote a scathing review on Yelp, alleging he trespassed and damaged her property, and even implying that he may have stolen some jewelry. "I'm not suing for a bad review — I'm suing because she called me a criminal," Dietz says. A judge ordered Perez to remove the reference to jewelry from her review. The court has yet to decide whether there are grounds for defamation. (A lawyer for Perez did not return requests for comment.)
As more people rely on review sites to make decisions about where to eat and who to hire, businesses have grown more aggressive in their response to harsh comments. "There's been a rise in the number of people trying to sue because of reviews," says Michael Luca, assistant professor at Harvard Business School.
Scrubbing bad reviews can boost business. A one-star increase on Yelp's five-star review system can raise restaurant sales by 5% to 9%, according to "Reviews, Reputation and Revenue: The Case of Yelp.com," a 2011 paper by Luca that combined reviews from Yelp and restaurant data from the Washington State Department of Revenue.
This doesn't mean commenters need to hire lawyers to prescreen their Yelp reviews, Luca says. But they should understand the basis of the law, for instance the difference between criticizing a restaurant's Cobb salad and calling the chef a crook, experts say.

Commenters also can take action to protect themselves from possible litigation. Prolific Yelpers might consider getting a personal injury policy on their homeowners insurance that explicitly includes financial coverage for libel cases, says Paul Alan Levy, a lawyer with the nonprofit Public Citizen Litigation Group. Several states, including California and Texas, have anti-SLAPP — Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation — statutes that make claims for defamation much more difficult, expensive and time-consuming for a plaintiff to litigate, says Kevin Fink, a lawyer based in Los Angeles.
For a sense of what to avoid when commenting online, here are four more instances where online comments led to litigation.
Plastic surgeon cries foul over RateMD.com review
Anonymity doesn't necessarily insulate commenters from lawsuits, as this case of a plastic surgeon skewered on the site RateMD shows. Armando Soto, an Orlando-based doctor, said statements by the anonymous poster about his "Vaser Liposelection" technique for male body sculpting were "malicious" and, last April, subpoenaed Internet service provider Comcast for the mystery reviewer's name, billing info and mailing address. David Muraskin, the lawyer who represented "John Doe," says his client's statements of "wasted money" and "bad experience" were expressions of opinion. But Domingo J. Rivera, Soto's lawyer, said John Doe's statements were inaccurate — and not opinion but facts. David Muraskin, the lawyer who represented John Doe, said his client exercised freedom of speech. The doctor eventually did learn the identity of the commenter, and is still likely to sue, his lawyer says.

In my last post I showed the Webmachine backend to James Yu's CloudEdit app in Backbone.js. What was left out was, where are the documents stored? Here I'll show how this is done with CouchDB. And you can give the app a try at http://erlware.org:8080
First, a new Erlang app is needed that we'll call ece_db.
ece_db/ ├── doc ├── ebin │ ├── ece_db.app │ └── overview.edoc ├── include └── src ├── ece_db.erl ├── ece_db_app.erl └── ece_db_sup.erl
Three modules are implemented, one that starts the app by calling the supervisor's start function, the supervisor itself that sets up a simple_one_for_one and the gen_server that handles the frontends requests for creating and modifying documents in CouchDB.
We'll ignore the ece_db_app.erl module for this post and start with ece_db_sup.erl. On requests from the Webmachine resource module we don't want one to wait on the other, requests should be handled in parrallel. One option is to not create a process for the database backend and instead have all of the functions in the database interface run in the process of the Webmachine resource. However, two reasons to not do this are that there are multiple pieces of data that must be read out of a configuration file and used to setup what is needed to talk to CouchDB. We do not want to be doing this for every request! Furthermore a supervised gen_server allows us the possibility of retrying requests with no extra code and crashing without retrying but not taking down the resource's process that is handling the user's HTTP request. It is a lot nicer and easier to just let things fail when we can!
{ece_db, [{server, "HOSTNAME"}, {port, 80}, {database, "ecloudedit"}]}
-spec init(list()) -> {ok, {SupFlags::any(), [ChildSpec::any()]}} | ignore | {error, Reason::any()}. init([]) -> RestartStrategy = simple_one_for_one, MaxRestarts = 0, MaxSecondsBetweenRestarts = 1, SupFlags = {RestartStrategy, MaxRestarts, MaxSecondsBetweenRestarts}, Restart = temporary, Shutdown = 2000, Type = worker, {ok, Server} = application:get_env(server), {ok, Port} = application:get_env(port), {ok, DB} = application:get_env(database), AChild = {ece_db, {ece_db, start_link, [Server, Port, DB]}, Restart, Shutdown, Type, [ece_db]}, {ok, {SupFlags, [AChild]}}.
First, we have the config entries in config/sys.config that will be read in by application:gen_env. Here we set the server URL, port number and name of the database to use. CouchDB can easily be run locally but for my running copy I use a database hosted by the great service Cloudant. Next is the init function for ece_db_sup.erl. A key thing to note for a simple_one_for_one is that NO process is started after the supervisor's init function returns like with other types of supervisor children. Instead we must explicitly call start_child. This is how we are able to create a supervised gen_server process for every HTTP request. Below is the code in ece_db_sup for starting and stopping the process:
start_child() -> supervisor:start_child(?SERVER, []). terminate_child(PID) -> ece_db:terminate_child(PID).
In the last post I showed the functions that start and stop the ece_db process. Here they are again:
init([]) -> {ok, PID} = ece_db_sup:start_child(), {ok, #ctx{db=PID}}.
finish_request(ReqData, Ctx) -> ece_db_sup:terminate_child(Ctx#ctx.db), {true, ReqData, Ctx}.
On each request Webmachine calls the init function for the resource that is matched in the dispatch table. In that init function we call start_child in ece_db_sup which returns {ok, PID}. The PID is the process id we'll be sending messages. Now in ece_db we implement the API functions needed to start the process and to interact with it.
start_link(Server, Port, DB) -> gen_server:start_link(?MODULE, [Server, Port, DB], []). all(PID) -> gen_server:call(PID, all). find(PID, ID) -> gen_server:call(PID, {find, ID}). create(PID, Doc) -> gen_server:call(PID, {create, Doc}). update(PID, ID, JsonDoc) -> gen_server:call(PID, {update, ID, JsonDoc}). terminate(PID) -> gen_server:call(PID, terminate).
Each function, besides the one for starting the process, takes a PID. This PID is the process gen_server:call to which it sends its message. To handle these messages we have the gen_server callbacks.
%%%=================================================================== %%% gen_server callbacks %%%=================================================================== %% @private init([Server, Port, DB]) -> CouchServer = couchbeam:server_connection(Server, Port, "", []), {ok, CouchDB} = couchbeam:open_db(CouchServer, DB), {ok, #state{db=CouchDB}}. %% @private handle_call(all, _From, #state{db=DB}=State) -> Docs = get_docs(DB, [{descending, true}]), {reply, mochijson2:encode(Docs), State}; handle_call({find, ID}, _From, #state{db=DB}=State) -> [Doc] = get_docs(DB, [{key, list_to_binary(ID)}]), {reply, mochijson2:encode(Doc), State}; handle_call({create, Doc}, _From, #state{db=DB}=State) -> {ok, Doc1} = couchbeam:save_doc(DB, Doc), {NewDoc} = couchbeam_doc:set_value(<<"id">>, couchbeam_doc:get_id(Doc1), Doc1), {reply, mochijson2:encode(NewDoc), State}; handle_call({update, ID, NewDoc}, _From, #state{db=DB}=State) -> IDBinary = list_to_binary(ID), {ok, Doc} = couchbeam:open_doc(DB, IDBinary), NewDoc2 = couchbeam_doc:set_value(<<"_id">>, IDBinary, {NewDoc}), NewDoc3 = couchbeam_doc:set_value(<<"_rev">>, couchbeam_doc:get_rev(Doc), NewDoc2), {ok, {Doc1}} = couchbeam:save_doc(DB, NewDoc3), {reply, mochijson2:encode(Doc1), State;handle_call(terminate, _From, State) -> {stop, normal, State}.
init takes the server URL, the port number and the name of the database to store the documents as arguments and creates a CouchBeam database record. To handle the other messages we have the handle_call function to match on the different tuples sent to gen_server:call for the different function calls. all uses the internal function get_docs with the option to have the function in descending order (so the newest is first) and returns those after encoding to JSON. find uses the same function but only wants a certain document which in the case of CouchDB is specified with a key value. create first saves the new document which returns the document that is actually stored in CouchDB. CouchDB adds the _id and _rev key/value pairs it generates. Since our frontend expects the id to be the value of a key id and not _id we use couchbeam_doc:set_value to set a value of the new key id with the value of the documents id retrieved from the document with couchbeam_doc:get_id. For update we first open the document corresponding to the id passed in as an argument to get the _rev value. _rev needs to be set in the document we send to save_doc so CouchDB knows this is a valid update based on the previous version of the document. Thus we set the new documents _id and _rev values and send to save_doc.
Lastly, we have the get_docs function. Since the frontend expects the key id to exist and CouchDB stores the id with the key _id we use a simple view to return the documents with id containing the value of the documents _id. Views are defined with map/reduce functions that CouchDB runs across the databases documents and builds an index from. These indexes are then queried based on keys to find documents. Thus access is very quick, indexes are built with BTrees, and a map/reduce does not have to be run on the documents for every request. Additionally, when a new document is created the view's map/reduce functions only need to run over the new documents to update the BTree. Updates to the view's indexes are either done on each use of the view or can be manually told to run.
function (doc) { emit(doc._id, {id : doc._id, title : doc.title, created_at : doc.created_at, body : doc.body}); }
get_docs(DB, Options) -> {ok, AllDocs} = couchbeam:view(DB, {"all", "find"}, Options), {ok, Results} = couchbeam_view:fetch(AllDocs), {[{<<"total_rows">>, _Total}, {<<"offset">>, _Offset}, {<<"rows">>, Rows}]} = Results, lists:map(fun({Row}) -> {<<"value">>, {Value}} = lists:keyfind(<<"value">>, 1, Row), Value end, Rows).
In get_docs the couchbeam:view function is used to construct a view request to be sent to the CouchDB server. couchbeam_view:fetch sends the view request and returns the results as Erlang terms. After this we extract the rows from the results and use lists:map to extract out just the value of each row to be returned.
That's it! There are places that could use improvement. One being the use of lists:map over every returned row to construct documents the frontend can deal with. Additionally, the need to duplicate _id as id for the frontends use could be removed through modifications on the frontend.
In the next installment I'll be updating the code -- and maybe making some of these performance enhancements -- with James Yu's recent changes in his Part 2.

Along the short narrow streets of the downtown commercial section, survivals of the more remote past hold their own with false fronts of the late nineteenth century and with modern buildings. Within sight of a tangle of tracks surrounding the union depot is Petersburg's water front, a bottled-up arm of the Appomattox formed by a peninsula containing the old town of Pocahontas. Both sides of this estuary are lined with factories and wharves, and in the stream weather-beaten barges, generally loaded with lumber, pick their way among anchored pleasure craft.
Lengthy Sycamore Street mounts southward and crosses busy railroad tracks into a residential section. Past the deep landscaped ravine cut by Lieutenant Run the widened thoroughfare swerves through the fashionable suburb of Walnut Hills, wedged between former battlefields and Lee Memorial Park, Petersburg's summer playground. Just back of the riverfront buildings lies a slum district, composed of white and Negro families, that finds counterparts in the sections bordering sinuous Halifax Street, midtown. At intervals, the brick hulks of enormous tobacco plants cling to the Atlantic Coast Line tracks that pass through the heart of the city. On industrial East Bank Street, peanut processing plants mingle with tobacco warehouses, while trunk and bag factories give a commercial air to the West End, pressed on the south by a park, the fair grounds, and Alms House Farm.
The city has its share of ancestor worshipers, counterbalanced by citizens looking toward personal and group achievement. The art of gracious living survives in clubs and homes, and old inhabitants retain Virginia idioms that have all but disappeared in many other parts of the State. People are still 'right much' interested in family trees, refer to kitchens as 'cook rooms,' and call relatives 'kinfolks.'
Although the Negroes of Petersburg, 44 per cent of the population, have developed an educated group, with a social and cultural life that centers about two educational institutions, the majority still live in crowded sections and gain their livelihood by menial and domestic work.
The beginning of Petersburg dates from 1645, when the general assembly directed that Fort Henry be built at the falls of the Appomattox River. The next year the assembly provided that the fort be given to Abraham Wood for three years, on condition that he keep ten men there for its protection. He established a trading post and cultivated friendly relations with Indians, who furnished guides and hunters. Thus reinforced, between 1650 and 1671 Wood undertook two journeys of exploration westward.
Peter Jones, who married Wood's daughter, succeeded his father-in-law as manager and proprietor of the trading post, which became known as Peter's Point. The settlement figured prominently in Bacon's Rebellion (1676), when unfriendly Indians were driven from the village.
William Byrd II in 1733 envisaged two cities, 'one . . . to be called Richmond, and the other at the Point of the Appamattuck River, to be nam'd Petersburgh.' The strategic position at the head of navigation indicated to him the future growth of Petersburg. As it is today, the city represents the amalgamation of Petersburg, laid out in 1748; Blandford, established the same year; Pocahontas, constituted a town in 1752; and Ravenscroft, a settlement that meanwhile had grown up on a triangle enclosed today by Halifax, Sycamore, and Shore Streets. These four were united and incorporated in 1784, and 'stiled the town of Petersburg.'
During the Revolutionary War the city was too important to be overlooked by the adversary. In 1781 General Benedict Arnold and General William Phillips, commanding 2,500 British troops, destroyed stores in Petersburg and pillaged the community despite the valiant efforts of General von Steuben and General Muhlenburg. British forces, augmented on May 20, 1781, by the army of Cornwallis, started from Petersburg four days later on the journey that ended at Yorktown.
For years before the Revolution and until the War between the States, a race track, a theater, many comfortable and merry taverns, and hospitable homes made Petersburg a popular stopping-place for travelers and a jolly center for long visits. When George Washington paused here on his southern tour (1791), he found, according to his diary, that Petersburg, containing 'near 3,000 souls,' received 'at the Inspections nearly a third of the Tobacco exported from the whole State besides a considerable quantity of wheat and flour.' He wrote also of telling a lie: 'Having suffered very much by the dust yesterday, and finding that parties of Horse, and a number of other Gentlemen were intending to attend me part of the way to day, I caused their enquiries respecting the time of my setting out, to be answered that, I should endeavor to do it before eight o'clock; but did it a little after five.' The mayor of Petersburg is said to have bestowed upon Washington during this visit the title 'father of his country.'
Across from the town of Petersburg, according to Thomas Anburey's Travels in the Interior Parts of America (1776-81), was 'a kind of suburb, independent of Petersburg, called Pocahunta, . . . the principal trade of Petersburg arises from the exporting of tobacco, deposited in warehouses and magazines . . . up to which sloops, schooners, and small vessels continually sail.'
During the War of 1812 the territory furnished a company under Richard McRae, which distinguished itself at Fort Meigs. These soldiers, jauntily wearing cockades, gave President Madison occasion to can Petersburg the 'Cockade City,' a name that has held through the years. In Petersburg, John Daly Burk, Irish refugee, began his history of Virginia; Aaron Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, lived here in 1805; Winfield Scott started his brief law career; and the returning La Fayette was lavishly entertained here. Joseph Jenkins Roberts (1809-76), who migrated to Liberia in 1829, was born in Petersburg. The American Colonization Society appointed him in 1842 the first Negro governor of Liberia; when the country was proclaimed a republic in 1847, Roberts was elected the first president.
After 1812 Petersburg overshadowed Richmond in many respects. Theatrical companies, booked for Petersburg, went to Richmond incidentally. Disastrous fires occurred in 1815 and 1826. The first general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, meeting in Petersburg in 1846, made history through the organization of Southern Methodism. Four years later Petersburg achieved the status of city. The Southern Star, the first steamboat to reach Petersburg, was appropriately welcomed in 1858.
The War between the States ravaged the little city on the Appomattox. Though at first no battles were fought near by, Petersburg sent 17 companies to the front. In 1864 the city became the 'last ditch of the Confederacy.' Railroad lines through Petersburg constituted an artery of supply for Richmond and made the city a Federal objective. The long and terrible siege of Petersburg marked the downfall of the Confederacy. Here the South made its last stand against superior Federal forces. The fall of Petersburg led directly to the surrender at Appomattox.
The city made a new start after 1865. By 1880 there were 70 more industries than existed here 20 years earlier. Census tabulations of ensuing years showed steady gains. In 1888 a Negro, John Mercer Langston, born in Surry County in 1848, was elected to Congress from the Fourth Virginia Congressional District. He had studied law in Ohio, had been minister to Haiti and president of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate institute. Although his election was contested, and although he was not seated until two months before the expiration of his term, Langston holds the distinction of being the only Virginia Negro Congressman.
Modern Petersburg takes pride in its industries. Here some 4,000 wage earners are paid annually about $4,000,000. With a plug and twist tobacco factory, preparing annually 6,000,000 pounds for export; a large cigarette factory, making more than 4,000,000,000 cigarettes annually; two stem meries and rehandling plants; and three auction warehouses employing 2,100 people, chiefly Negroes, whose annual wages are $1,200,000, Petersburg has earned an important position in the manufacture of tobacco. It boasts, in addition, a luggage factory that employs 1,500 people. Among other industries are pen and pencil plants, a silk mill, a pants and overall factory, a mill that makes napkins and tablecloths, three peanut factories, and plants that produce optical lenses, flour, woodwork, and furniture.
1. GOLDEN BALL TAVERN (open), SE. corner Grove Ave. and N.Market St., is an unpainted frame building with brick ends and dormers along its gabled roof. Now a lunch room, this tavern was built about 1750. From the time of its erection until 1825, its sign of a large golden ball was famous in Virginia. The tavern was host to Washington in 1791 and was popular with settlers and trappers. During the British occupation of Petersburg in 1781 the scarlet-coated officers had quarters here.
2. The OLD MARKET PLACE (open daily), bounded by Grove Ave., Rock St., River St., and Cockade Alley, is an octagonal red brick building with twin chimney pots at each angle and a roof extending over the sidewalks. It was erected in 1879 to supersede a simple frame building. The site for a public market was donated in 1805 by Robert Bolling. In its early days it was the only place where meats and vegetables could be sold. The building is now leased by operators of a grocery store and meat market.
3. The COURTHOUSE (open 8:30-5 weekdays, 8:30-1 Sat.), E. end of Courthouse Ave., facing N.Sycamore St., erected in 1835, is a brick building in Greek Revival style with a gray stucco finish. The wide portico has four fluted stone columns in free classical design. An ornate cupola with a clock is surmounted by a figure of justice.
4. WEST HILL (private), E.Tabb St. between Monroe and Adams Sts., is a long frame house on a very high stuccoed-brick basement. Tall narrow dormers line the gabled roof, and within there is a fine Chippendale staircase. The house was built shortly after the Revolution by Robert Bolling and was the home of the family until the larger mansion, Center Hill, was erected. West Hill later housed the stewards of the Bolling estate.
5. CENTER HILL (open by arrangement), on a court off N. side Franklin St. between Jefferson and Adams Sts., is a two-story brick mansion of 30 rooms approached by a circular drive. The house has a low hip roof and wide columned verandas facing north and south. Built about 1825 and remodeled in 1850, Center Hill, which succeeded Bollingbrook Hill as the residence of the Bolling family, was noted during three-quarters of a century for entertainment on a grand scale. Following Lee's evacuation of Petersburg, Center Hill became the headquarters of the Federal Major General George L. Hartsuff. Lincoln made the quip while visiting here, 'General Grant seems to have attended sufficiently to the matter of rent.' The house has been acquired by the Government to be used as a museum and headquarters of the National Park Service.
6. EAST HILL is on a knoll between N.Jefferson St. and the Atlantic Coast Line tracks. This is the SITE OF BOLLINGBROOK, Colonial house of the Bollings. Erected by Major Robert Bolling about 1725, it was originally two separate buildings; the larger burned in 1855 and the smaller was razed in 1915. Twice headquarters of the British in 1781, it was bombarded by La Fayette. While Phillips and Arnold had headquarters here, Phillips died. From his deathbed he remarked querulously that the Americans would not even let him die in peace.
7. BLANDFORD CEMETERY (open 9-5 daily), E. side Crater Road at city limits, stretches placidly beneath large, ancient trees. The oldest stone, marking the grave of Richard Fairbrough, reads 1702. Veterans of six wars are buried here, including 30,000 Confederates killed in the Siege of Petersburg. Among the epitaphs are those of William Skipwith, Baronet and Cavalier, who fled Cromwell's wrath; of Herbert, plain squire and stout Roundhead; of the British commander, General Phillips; of John Daly Burk, Irish refugee and historian, who was killed in a duel; of the Corsican, Antommatti, who shot himself in the church, for unrequited love. A shaft commemorates Captain Richard McRae and his Petersburg Volunteers, who 'consecrated their valor at the Battle of Fort Meigs' in 1813.
The claim is made for Blandford, as for several other Virginia cemeteries, that here was the scene of the first Memorial Day ceremony. The story goes that Mrs. John A. Logan, wife of the commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, visited the cemetery in 1,866 and spied Miss Nora Fontaine Davidson, a schoolteacher, and her pupils putting flowers and tiny Confederate flags on the soldiers' graves. Shortly afterward General Logan issued a proclamation for the observance of Memorial Day.
BLANDFORD CHURCH (open 9-5 daily; key at office), W. edge of cemetery, is a gabled T-shaped brick building, standing peacefully among trees draped, like itself, with ivy. The walls bear scars of bullets fired in 1864-65. The Colonial building--'the Brick Church of Bristol Parish'--is now a Confederate memorial chapel. Here among marble tablets erected to honor Revolutionary patriots and between memorial windows, one given by each Southern State, are inscriptions in bronze to commemorate incidents and personages of the 1860's. On a tablet is inscribed an elegy, written in 1841 and attributed to Tyrone Power I.
The church was first a rectangular structure, erected in 1735-37 on Wells' Hill. The long transept on the north side was begun in 1752 and completed in 1764. In 1757 a wall was built around the churchyard. When Petersburg was incorporated, the boundary was run so as to embrace the 'Church on Wellses Hill.' After St.Paul's Church was built in 1902-06, Blandford was abandoned. The Petersburg Ladies Memorial Association in 1901 restored it as the memorial chapel.
8. CENTRAL PARK, NE. corner S.Sycamore and E.Fillmore Sts., now shaded by lofty trees, was formerly a smooth green known as Poplar Lawn. Scene of demonstrations and open forum for distinguished orators, the site has served as race track, drill and mobilization ground, and was a hospital area during the siege of 1864-65. Here, mounted upon a stone base, is the POCAHONTAS BASIN, a roughly oblong piece of gray stone, hollowed out. In it, according to local legend, bathed the Indian princess.
9. The LAWN (private), 244 S.Sycamore St., a tall red brick house with ivy blanketing its walls and massive chimneys obscuring its gable ends, extends back among magnolias and boxwood bushes. It was erected about 1825 by George Bolling.
10. SOUTHERN COLLEGE (open by arrangement), 220 S.Sycamore St., occupying several gray buildings of brick and frame construction, was granted a charter in 1863, a year after its founding by William Thomas Davis, and was first called Southern Female College. The land it occupies was part of the settlement of Ravenscroft.
11. The WILLIAM R. McKENNEY FREE LIBRARY (open 9-9 Mon., Wed., Fri.; 9-6 Tues., Thurs., Sat.), NE. corner S.Sycamore and E.Marshall Sts., formerly a residence, is a two-story building of stuccoed brick. The mid-nineteenth-century house was built by John Dodson, then mayor of Petersburg, and was later the home of General William Mahone. The library contains about 30,000 volumes; Virginiana, including Nimo's Notes; and a small museum.
12. The WALLACE-SEWARD HOUSE (private), 204 S.Market St., a red brick house with a high front porch supported by iron columns, was built in 1855 by Thomas Wallace and described at the time as 'a costly, well designed, and handsome residence.' For a few hours following the evacuation of Petersburg the abandoned building was occupied as headquarters by General Grant. On the porch Grant discussed with President Lincoln, just arrived from City Point, the terms of the expected surrender of General Lee.
13. The MUNICIPAL MARKET, on the triangle formed by Halifax and Harrison Sts. and South Ave., is a large brick building erected in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. In stalls within the building are sold all manner of meats, fruits, and vegetables, shipped from afar or brought by farmers from neighboring counties. On the sidewalks are vendors' stands, tempting purchasers with bright flowers and fresh vegetables.
14. TRAPEZIUM PLACE (open by arrangement), 244 N.Market St., is a three-story red brick house with no right-angled corners and no parallel walls. This architectural curiosity was erected in 1815 by an eccentric Irishman, Charles O'Hara. He followed, it seems, the plans of a West Indian servant, who claimed that the peculiar construction of the house would ward off evil spirits. For years the place was known as 'Rat Castle,' because of the pet rats O'Hara kept. He is believed to have served in the British army, and his habit of appearing on the Queen's birthday, dressed in a uniform, earned him the title of 'General.'
15. STIRLING CASTLE (private), 320 W.High St., a two-story white frame house on a red brick foundation, has a square portico with fluted Ionic columns. Neat servants' quarters stand in the rear. The house was built in 1735 by Peter Jones III on a site eight miles from present Petersburg. After Jones's death the 'wooden castle' was rebuilt in the newly established town.
16. The BEASLEY HOUSE (open by arrangement), 558 W.High St., is a two-story frame building, mildly mid-Victorian. From November 1-28, 1864, General Lee had headquarters here. A small weatherboard building in the yard was used as Lee's office.
17. The BISHOP PAYNE DIVINITY SCHOOL (open by arrangement), S.West St. between Wilcox and Stainback Sts., occupies two brick and two frame buildings. Organized in 1884, it has (1939) four full-time professors and 13 students. It is the only seminary in the United States for Negro clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church and has trained two-thirds of the Negro ministers of that denomination.
18. BATTERSEA (private), N. end of Battersea Lane, in spite of shabbiness, can still be described in the words of the visiting Marquis de Chastellux (1780: 'The house is decorated in the Italian rather than the British or American style, having three porticoes at the three principal entrances, each of them supported by four columns.' The house consists of a hip-roofed main part extended by passage-linked wings. The interior woodwork, including a Chippendale stairway, is exceptionally fine. Prior to the Revolution Battersea was built by Colonel John Banister, first mayor of Petersburg. Because of his active participation in the patriotic movement, Banister seems to have been 'a. particular object of spite to the British,' who visited his home in 1781, destroyed his furniture, and mutilated the house.
19. PRIDE'S TAVERN (closed for restoration, 1939), N.West St. near Norfolk & Western R.R. tracks, is a group of red brick buildings dating from the Revolutionary period. Long offering travelers the comfort for which Petersburg 'ordinaries' were renowned, it was a meeting place for wealth and fashion, especially while Pride's Race Track operated near by.
20. MOUNTAIN VIEW (private), McKenzie St. opposite N. end South St., a red brick residence, stands on what is believed to be the site of Fort Henry. It is claimed that fragments of the fort are incorporated in the house and that the low stone building at one end of the lot was the home of Captain John Flood, first commander of the fort. Mountain View was owned in 1830 by Dr.Donald McKenzie, president of the early Petersburg Railway Company. During the War between the States General Henry A. Wise had headquarters here; later the Federal commander, Lloyd Collins, occupied the house.
21. VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE FOR NEGROES, N. end of Campbell's Bridge, covers 300 elevated acres above the Appomattox River. On the campus Of 37 acres are 31 brick buildings; the rest of the land is an experimental farm. Established in 1882 as the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, it was created largely through the activities of public-spirited Negroes, particularly A.W.Harris, of Petersburg, who introduced the bill to establish the institution. Inadequate State support long retarded its progress. In 1902 the name was changed to Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, and in 1920 the institute was made the Negro land-grant college of Virginia. The college has steadily increased its enrollment and the standard of its 23 courses of instruction, which include liberal arts, agriculture, manual crafts, and a department of education. In 1930 the name of the institution was changed by the legislature. Enrollment in 1937-38 was 1,005, of which 576 were women.
Turnbull House, 3 m. (see Tour 1c). Federal Tunnels and Museum, 2.5 m.; Fort Davis, 3.1 m. (see Tour 14). The Crater, 2.6 m.; Petersburg National Military Park, 3.3 m. (see Tour 18).

I'm not sure if this is a laptop thing, but here goes:
A few months back I installed acpid and set up the /etc/acip/handler.sh script to manage things like cpu governors etc.
And I think it's pretty awesome too
The thing is, for some reson, it doesnt run at boot anymore. I'ts in my rc.conf file, and it's listed by rc.d list as STARTED AUTO.
It also works whenever I plug/unplug the power cord, and I can manually trigger it by doing something like
sudo /etc/acpi/handler.sh ac_adapter AC a 00000000
But it'd be great if I didn't have to.

Just to be clear: it used to so by itself, and then it suddenly stopped for some reason.
It's quite annoying that, at boot, the system just assumes it in the the same state (plugged/unplugged, battery/no battery etc.), as it was at shutdown.
I assume that acpid is responsible for making the proper events at boot, but I don't actually know.
Only to understand if acpid works: try to run the daemon during your session and then to switch power supply on and off, and see if it manages something.
sudo /etc/rc.d/acpid restart
It does, it also works without restarting the daemon. the daemon is actually working perfectly fine, except that it isn't 'updated' at boot.
It registers events just fine, but only when they occur. Which means that, after boot, the machine doesn't know what state it is in, until that state changes. (There is a quantum-physics joke in here somewhere)
Previously, this wasn't the case. It would be notified sometime during the startup/boot process and hence know it's current state, rather than continuing by the the assumption that it was in the same state as before shutting down
I hope I'm making sense?
Is this a joke?
Ok, now i understand...but i only can't imagine a solution, it seems a software problem. But the strange is that you're alone with this kind of problem!
Try to install acpid again...or try to post your rc.conf, these are the only solutions i come up with.
A joke? Not at all!
I allready reinstalled acpid, with no luck.
Here is my rc.conf
try to make acpid starts just before dbus (yeah it seems it must be started before it) and not in background.
Then we'll see if something happens (i'll keep fingers crossed )
Hmm, didn't work, unfortunately.
Then i can't help you anymore, sorry.
Hope you'll get acpid working again as soon as possible!
Ahh, well thanks for trying
Maybe someone else has a take?
Actually acpid behaves weird for me too. When i run it at boot it doesnt detect any rules I have set in my configs, and so none of my laptop fn keys work since I use acpid to start most things with them. But, when i start acpid with X session suddenly my custom files work without problems. I use awesome wm and i start acpid from awesome's own config file like this:
sudo /etc/rc.d/acpid stop && sleep 2 && sudo /etc/rc.d/acpid start
Also if I start it with rc.d like this:
sudo rc.d restart acpid
acpid also refuses to load any custom rules.
I have no idea why this line isnt working but since it works if I start it with the line above I really didnt care much to find out why.
Yeah I'm kinda lazy but I hope I helped you out with this. Atleast a little bit.
Unfortunately, that doesn't make a difference for me
Reviving for completeness:
It turns out this is actually the natural behaviour of acpid. (I ended up contacting one of the devs) It doesn't obtain a state at boot.
The solution in my case (now having switched to systemd) was to add a unit:
Description=Update acpid, as to whether or not the power is on
to /etc/systemd/system
and a hook:
if [ "$1" = "post" ]
batlife -s
to /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/
Where acpidpwr-update is just a script that uses acpi to determine whether or not the power cord is plugged in, and call /etc/acpi/handler.sh as to emulate a plug/unplug event.
if [[ $(acpi -a | grep on) ]]
/etc/acpi/handler.sh ac_adapter AC a 0000000$onBit #the 'a' is garbage

Dead Space was the last great hope for horror video games when it came out four years ago. Can Dead Space 3 do the same thing in 2012? The first game faced an uphill battle, and it was hamstrung by 2008 being the year that the "survival horror" genre died. After ten plus years of the Resident Evil series and its many descendants and imitators that tried to scare you by limiting supplies and skills while surrounding you with monsters, ghosts, and demons, big game publishers decided that what people really wanted was balls to the wall action. Add in a bit of atmosphere and the odd moment where something jumped out at you, and a new survival horror genre seemed destined to take over. Just look at that year's line up: Condemned 2: Bloodshot from Sega dropped the taut psychological fear of the first in favor of gore, Silent Hill: Homecoming traded atmosphere and the surreal for slick melee combat, and Atari's Alone in the Dark ended up an unplayable mess after attempting to include action movie tropes like driving.
For fans of horror it was a rough time, but the action-ifying of fright wasn't all bad news: EA and Visceral Games' Dead Space turned out to be excellent. Even through Dead Space's then-silent protagonist Isaac Clarke could slice and dice the mutated freaks surrounding him with a wealth of guns and construction tools, the game was scary as hell. It was also a success with gamers, and spawned several cross-media projects, including animated movies, comics, and more.
Dead Space had two things going for it: Isolation and patience. It locked you in the dark bowels of a broken spaceship (or right out in space) and let you wait for something bad to happen all on your lonesome. When the baddies showed up you were ready for them, but the waiting, as Tom Petty says, was the hardest part. 2011's Dead Space 2 ruined that magic formula, bombarding Isaac with a constant stream of enemies in a forgettable space city. There were a few moments of awe, but the atmosphere was more focused on action than survival. That game had no patience, and unfortunately Dead Space 3 is doing away with isolation altogether.
As touted by Electronic Arts at E3 2012, Dead Space 3 is now a co-op shooter. Sergeant John Carver joins Isaac on the planet frozen planet of Tau Volantis, where the two have to fight new hordes of the pointy-limbed Necromorph monstrosities. Continuing the story from Dead Space 2, Issac and Ellie meet up with Carver and follow a trail to what may be the source of the Markers responsible for transforming people into the Necromorphs. The group discover a ruined planetcracker on the icy surface, similar to the USG Ishimura from the original game.
The differences between Isaac and Carver are minimal, both cosmetically and functionally. In the level demoed by EA at a recent event, the game looked just like what it was: Co-operative Dead Space. Both players wandered through grimy, dim hallways – the icy surface of Tau Volantis didn't make much of an appearance – shooting up bad guys in tandem. If you start to die, you call the other player over to help you up like in every third-person shooter since Gears of War. It's fun, but since loneliness was such a key component of the original, it's hard to think of Dead Space 3 as anything but another action game in a nicely atmospheric environment.
That environment looks great. It calls back to Dead Space and its Wii offshoot Dead Space: Extraction, returning to dank industrial tunnels rather than the almost BioShock-esque hallways of Dead Space 2's city, The Sprawl. Familiar as it is though, it's graphically spectacular. I mistook the game for a Frostbite 2 engine game since developer Visceral Games is also busy making co-op Frostbite 2 third-person shooter Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. Not so. Dead Space 3 is actually running on a modified version of the studio's own Visceral Engine which powered Dead Space 2. You'd never be able to tell given how detailed the new sequel's characters and monsters look by comparison.
It will be interesting to see how the co-op aspect fares with a single player. In most games designed around co-op, the second character is just an AI controlled assistant, sometimes helpful, sometimes good only as bait. But for Dead Space 3 Visceral is promising that when you are playing it by yourself, the second character will make several appearances, but the majority of the game you will be alone. Apparently there will also be gameplay mechanics and story elements that can only be accessed as Carver. How this all plays out with the drop-in/drop-out co-op is something we'll have to judge for ourselves when the game is released on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on February 5, 2013.
There is hope for Visceral's new sequel. At the end of Dead Space 3's demo, the game is shaken out of its familiar formula. Dementia has always played a role in the series; Isaac suffered from repeated hallucinations in the first two games, haunted by visions of his dead lover. His psychosis, caused by the alien artifact MacGuffin (The Marker) fueling the series, never affected you outside of cutscenes though. Now Isaac will start hallucinating in the middle of a fight, confused by what's actually an enemy and what's a friend, and what in the environment is even there. It creates an interesting scenario for co-op: One player sees a psychedelic wash and people that aren't there, while the other player just sees them flailing around getting attacked by a very real monster. It has the potential to create a wholly different sort of isolation, using cognitive dissonance to separate players empowered by having back up nearby.
The idea's not a new one. Eidos' Kane & Lynch series has played with pairing co-op players where one character is unstable and hallucinating. In that case, it didn't add up to much. Dead Space 3's success will be determined on how much Visceral Games is willing to experiment with perception. If the game skews too heavily towards standard shootouts, it could kill what makes the series special for good.

Private cyber security and evacuation firms are being tapped this Winter Olympics to ensure the safety of the U.S. delegation following a series of bombings near Sochi that killed dozens of people.
Continue Reading Below
While Russian authorities are using high-tech methods like drones to detect potential threats and deploying tens of thousands of troops to the region, the U.S. issued a travel alert for Sochi on Friday, reminding travelers that major events like the Olympics tend to be an "attractive target for terrorists" and warning visitors should "remain attentive regarding their personal security at all times."
Travelers are being encouraged to buy private medical evacuation and/or repatriation insurance, which can cover injury, evacuation costs or death in the event of an accident while traveling overseas.
The U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) has held calls regarding security with the State Dept., and says it is working in tandem with local organizers and relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure the U.S. delegation and other Americans traveling to Sochi are safe.
"The safety and security of Team USA is our top priority and we will share the new alert with our delegation members," USOC spokesperson Patrick Sandusky said.
Hiring Private Security
The anxiety surrounding the games has U.S. sports teams tapping the expertise of private security companies.
In November, the USSA once again brought on private crisis, rescue and evacuation team Global Rescue for its third consecutive Winter Olympics to boost security for athletes on and off the mountain. They have worked together since 2006, with Boston, Mass.-based Global Rescue conducting dozens of missions for USSA throughout their training efforts and at the Winter Games in Turin, Italy and Vancouver.
These Winter Games are being taken with extra precaution.
"This will be one of our larger deployments [for USSA] given the scale and the location," said Global Rescue CEO Dan Richards. "Our planning with them began months ago."
Among the preparation has been coordinating communication in the event of an emergency, identifying rally locations, putting into place a command and control plan, finding shelter-in-place locations and ensuring plans to evacuate athletes and their families can be executed effectively in crisis mode.
Global Rescue has had a hand in a number of major events over the past decade, including evacuating clients from Tahirir Square in Egypt during the Arab Spring uprising. It has more than 100 aircraft on contract around the world at any given time to assist with evacuations as well as personnel both on and off the ground with teams ready to deploy when necessary.
It's not the only company of this type, but it is the only confirmed private firm working directly with a U.S. Olympic team at Sochi.
"We are crafting protocols and strategies they can use to deal with events that might occur while they're in Sochi," Richards said of USSA.
USSA wouldn't comment specifically on its security detail, but a spokesperson said it maintains "close contact" with the USOC and "other agencies" on security.
Cyber Fortifications
Meanwhile, cyber intelligence officials are expected to continue working with private security firms to keep tabs on the record number of text, email, phone call and social media activity during the two-week games to try and intercept any potential plots that could endanger U.S. visitors.
Of course, their work likely began months if not years ago.
"As the saying goes, it's better to be 'safe than sorry,'" said Dr. Lance Larson, CEO of security consulting firm Larson Corp. and an adjunct professor at San Diego State University. "Safeguards, cyber defenses put in place before an event, are much cheaper and more quickly implemented."
Larson, who has worked with counterterrorism training at the FBI Laboratory and sat on a law enforcement intelligence and Department of Homeland Security Fusion Center task force, said the best opportunity for upcoming cyber security firms will be social media monitoring and analyses.
Scouring feeds from Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), Google+ (NASDAQ:GOOG), Instagram, Foursquare and Yahoo's (NASDAQ:YHOO) Tumblr for special keyboards like #Sochi plus an expletive may give "defensive personnel pre-warning to a potential real-world terrorist plot," he said.
Geofencing, which allows cyber professionals to setup a virtual fence to monitor all social media posts from a specific geographic region, might also serve as a useful tool during the Winter Games.
Sponsors Quiet on Security
The Sochi Olympics' biggest global sponsors have not said whether they are boosting security or taking extra protocols ahead of the game to ensure the safety of their customers and employees, though it would be highly unusual if they weren't already in contact with the State Dept.
None of the top ten sponsors, including Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW), General Electric (NYSE:GE), Panasonic, Samsung, Visa (NYSE:V) and IT firm Atos, responded to requests for comment regarding security at Sochi.
However, Erich Joachimsthaler, CEO of global brand strategy consulting firm Vivaldi Partners, said he isn't surprised.
"My recommendation for brands is to not run any messaging or communications before Sochi," Joachimsthaler said. "If the inherent negative information (the risk of safety) can be framed positively, then it would have a positive effect, but I don't know how to achieve that practically."

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN (AP) — The candidate strode down the aisle separating hundreds of male and female supporters at a campaign rally in Kabul. She shook hands with the women filling the chairs to her right. To the men on the other side, she simply nodded.Habiba Sarabi is the most prominent woman running on a ticket in the April 5 election to choose a successor to President Hamid Karzai. Sarabi once served as Afghanistan's first female governor, and her current bid to become Afghanistan's first female vice president is part of an effort to get out the women's vote as candidates scramble for every ballot.
Women "can affect the transition, the political transition," she said in an interview after addressing the rally to support Sarabi and her running mate, presidential candidate Zalmai Rassoul. The event was held in a wedding hall in a Kabul district dominated by her ethnic minority Hazara community.
But Sarabi, a 57-year-old former governor of Bamiyan province, still must conform to cultural norms in this deeply conservative Islamic society. Her challenge highlights the difficulties facing Afghan women who worry about losing hard-won gains as international combat forces prepare to withdraw from the country by the end of this year.
Afghan women were granted the right to vote in the constitution adopted after the U.S.-led coalition toppled the Taliban regime in late 2001. Under the Taliban, women were also banned from school and forced to wear the all-encompassing burqa.
But security concerns have marred their participation in previous elections. In areas of the country still controlled by the Taliban, women have been threatened with violence if they vote. In 2009, many Afghan women registered but then gave their voting cards to male relatives, who ended up casting multiple ballots as polling officials and police conveniently looked away — one of many forms of fraud that tarnished Karzai's re-election.
Although voting cards are supposed to include a photo for identification, in some areas women refused to be photographed. Naheed Farid, a lawmaker from the western province of Herat, predicted fraud will be rampant this year as well.
"I am so optimistic that we will have more women to vote in this election, but who they vote for and what happens to their vote will be a problem," she said in a telephone interview. "There's lack of awareness that women can decide on their own, and families especially the fathers have an influence, and this is something we can't change now, not this time."
Still, she and others said, there are signs of progress. There are nine candidates in the crowded race, but only three are considered front-runners — Rassoul; Abdullah Abdullah, who was runner-up to Karzai in the disputed 2009 election; and Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai.
Gul Makai Safi, the head of the women's council for Abdullah's campaign, said women are streaming into their offices to learn about the process. She expressed concern that women in areas where militants are active will be unable to vote.
"We are very hopeful and optimistic that this time the women's vote will decide the fate of the candidates in the election," she said. "Women will bring a change in the result of the election this time."
Ahmadzai's wife, Rula, has even stumped for votes at campaign events, something that is very rare in a country where the current first lady has almost never appeared in public. There are officially 12 million eligible voters in Afghanistan, according to the Independent Election Commission, but the number of people who go to the polls may be higher because many voter cards were issued in past elections and are unaccounted for. Since registration began last year for next month's election, the commission has document 3.6 million new voters, including 1.2 million women.
Volunteers have visited villages and districts around the country to inform women about the issues and how their participation could help improve their lives. But many obstacles remain. To help prevent suicide bombings and other attacks, police will search voters before they are allowed to enter the polling stations. The Interior Ministry said it is training 13,000 women to search female voters, but there is concern there will be too few of them — and that some women will be turned away from the polls as a result.
And even in Kabul, some women have no idea how to register. "No one guided us and we haven't got voting cards now. If we could get our voting cards, we could have fulfilled our part in making the government," said Gul Sara, a woman living in an internal refugee camp in the Afghan capital.
Activists also warned the situation has not changed in areas where the Taliban remain active and conservative mores are entrenched, including many parts of the east and in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand.
Covered from head to toe in a black veil in downtown Kandahar city, Shaqiba Ahmadi acknowledged the difficulties facing women and chastised the government for not doing more on their behalf. "I think we have to try harder," the 20-year-old tailor said. "Afghan women are not very active. They should vote. I will vote."
The hall in Kabul where vice presidential candidate Sarabi gave her address was packed equally with men and women, though they sat on separate sides of the room. Sitting at the rally with a turquoise campaign scarf draped over her head, Gul Chaman said she plans to vote for the first time.
"I didn't care in the last election and I couldn't figure out how to get a voting card," said Chaman, who has nine grandchildren. "I hope the election will bring security, reconstruction and prosperity and stability to Afghanistan."
Associated Press writer Kathy Gannon in Kandahar contributed to this report.

Okay, this is kind of an out-of-the-norm post for us but it's summer and it's hot outside so anything goes, right?
Last week we posted a photo on our of a very popular type of photo that many refer to as a "mermaid shot" or a "water flip". It generated a lot of comments regarding technique and how to capture it. According to readers, it's not so easy to snap this photo while someone whips their water-soaked hair back. But we found a great way to do it and we wanted to share. Hopefully this will be your new favorite summer photo!
Here's how we did it with our iPhone!
- Be very careful or cover your phone in a case!
- Turn your settings to video: you're going to record the water flip in action.
- Frame up before you hit record: get the person to stand in the middle of your camera.
- Dip it: push all your hair forward and dip your hair in the water up to your forehead.
- Count down: hit record on your camera, count to three and have the person flip their head back. Stop the video after they've flipped all the way back.
- Scroll through: open the video and drag the bar through your video to see it frame-by-frame. Pick the best frame and screen cap it.
If you do this, hashtag it with #TBDwaterflip and we'll repost the best ones on our account!

Research Program:
Current research in my lab focuses on the developmental effects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), a class of organic xenobiotics that have been shown to contribute to human and other animal health risk through their carcinogenic, genotoxic and teratogenic effects. Our earlier studies have shown that PAHs, some of which are known to be potent environmental carcinogens, disrupt axis development in animal embryos via a β-catenin dependent molecular pathway (the Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathway). Using early embryos of sea urchins, we currently investigate:
1) the relationship between PAH exposure, nuclear accumulation β-catenin (a highly conserved multifunctional protein that regulates cell-cell adhesion as well as gene transcription via Wnt pathway), and abnormal embryonic axis specification; and,
2) the effects of PAHs on the activity of Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK)-3β (a crucial component of the Wnt pathway) and its ability to regulate cytosolic stability of β-catenin.
In addition, zebrafish (Danio rerio) early embryos are used to investigate the subcellular and molecular effects of PAHs on somite development (including muscle cell proliferation) and differentiation.

Attorney General Lockyer Files Lawsuit Against Canned Tuna Companies for Failing to Warn Consumers About Exposure to Mercury
June 21, 2004
(916) 324-5500
(SAN FRANCISCO) Attorney General Bill Lockyer today filed a lawsuit against the nation's three largest canned tuna companies for failing to warn consumers that albacore and light tuna contain mercury, known by the state to cause reproductive harm and cancer.
"This is a crucial public health issue," said Lockyer. "Prenatal exposure to mercury can cause serious disabilities in infants and children. We're not trying to eliminate tuna from people's diets. We're trying to enforce the law and protect the health and safety of California women and children."
The defendants in the lawsuit include: Tri-Union Seafoods, maker of Chicken of the Sea; Del Monte, maker of Starkist; and Bumble Bee Seafoods, maker of Bumble Bee. Filed in San Francisco Superior Court, Lockyer's complaint alleges the companies have violated Proposition 65, a landmark ballot initiative enacted by voters in 1986. The law requires businesses to provide "clear and reasonable" warnings before exposing people to known carcinogens or reproductive toxins.
Methylmercury compounds have been listed under Proposition 65 as a chemical known to cause cancer since 1996, and methylmercury has been listed as a known reproductive toxin since 1987. Mercury and mercury compounds have been listed as known reproductive toxins since 1990. By failing to warn consumers about the mercury in their products, the defendants have violated Proposition 65, Lockyer's complaint alleges.
Testing conducted by Lockyer's office showed the mercury levels in both canned albacore and light tuna exceed the exposure threshold that triggers the Proposition 65 warning requirement. The same testing showed canned albacore contains significantly higher amounts of mercury than canned light.
The lawsuit asks the court to prohibit the companies from selling their tuna in California without providing a warning as required by Proposition 65. Potential alternatives for adequate warnings include signs posted in grocery aisles or labels placed on cans. Additionally, the complaint seeks civil penalties for violations of Proposition 65 and the state's Unfair Competition Law. Under both laws, each defendant is liable for civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation. The complaint covers the defendants' alleged Proposition 65 violations dating back to 2000.
Excessive exposure to mercury poses serious health risks to all people, but particularly pregnant women and children. Prenatal and infant exposure can cause mental retardation, cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and developmental and learning disabilities.
A 2000 study by the National Research Council estimated 60,000 children born annually in the United States could suffer neurological problems caused by prenatal mercury exposure. A 2004 report presented to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that, every year, as many as 600,000 newborns may be at increased risk of health damage caused by mercury exposure.
Fish and seafood are important sources of nutrients and can be key components of a balanced diet. However, public concern increasingly has focused on fish, including canned tuna, as a source of mercury exposure.
In March 2004, after conducting testing, the EPA and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a joint notice that advised pregnant and nursing women, women who may become pregnant and young children to limit their consumption of canned albacore tuna to six ounces per week. That amount is equal to one average meal. The EPA-FDA advisory said the same groups should eat no more than 12 ounces (two average meals) of canned light tuna and other fish that are lower in mercury.
Lockyer last year filed Proposition 65 lawsuits against major grocery and restaurant chains for failing to post warnings about mercury in fresh or frozen shark, swordfish and tuna. Those cases remain pending, and have been coordinated in San Francisco Superior Court.
While that litigation is pending, some of the defendant grocers and restaurants have posted an interim warning that advises pregnant and nursing women, women who may become pregnant and young children to not eat swordfish or shark, and to limit their consumption of fresh or frozen tuna.
The interim warning developed by Lockyer's office also mentions canned tuna, saying in part that canned light contains less mercury than albacore. Lockyer believes Proposition 65 requires more explicit advice to consumers about canned tuna. Additionally, grocers post the interim warning at fresh fish counters, where canned tuna consumers will not see it.
A private party, the Public Media Center, previously filed a Proposition 65 lawsuit against canned tuna
companies. That case also is pending in San Francisco Superior Court. Lockyer will ask the court to consolidate his action with the private lawsuit, so they can be tried jointly.

It might be the holiday season, but that is no excuse to grow complacent. If we have learned anything from movies like Zombieland and shows like The Walking Dead, it's that the end is nigh and it won't be long before the zombie apocalypse is upon us. In fact who knows, the zombie virus could very well sit in a lab right now, being worked on by some mad scientist, just waiting to happen upon humanity. So while you dream of a shiny new iPad or the keys to a new car, you might contemplate asking instead for some shooting lessons and start stockpiling all the Twinkies you can get your hands on. In fact, it might even be wise for you to start counting those coppers now, and saving for a proper pad that will protect you from the bleak reality we may yet face.
And what better personal fortress to shield you and your loved ones from brain-chomping zombies than this idyllic cabin nestled deep within New York's Adirondack State Park. The 2,000-square-foot cabin sits atop a Cold War era missile silo and is currently on the market for $1.75 million dollars. Entry into the basement reveals two large living areas, formerly a launch control center, with entertainment and dining areas, two bedroom suites, and 10-foot tall ceilings. The surrounding area is primarily forest, granting a sweeping and stunning view of the state park and the large open windows offer ample natural lighting and warmth.
Deeper underground, the beautiful home opens up even further. The missile silo underneath adds an additional nine stories, making a perfect space to house other desperate survivors or bunker down, should things get ugly top-side. The former Cold War cabin also features an airfield — add some mounted turrets, a munitions cache that would have made Charlton Heston jealous, and this survival kit, and all of a sudden the zombie apocalypse might not be so bad. Just don't say we didn't warn you when jolly old Saint Nick shimmies down your chimney and turns out to be a zombie.

There isn't anything wrong with me but I love to worry about it, and the worry will win out in the end, causing no end of physical problems and maladies made real from dreams and reverse wishing, which is actually dread. When you don't want something to happen, the constant thought that it might is like a neverending wish for it to occur. It's a baffler, and unfair, but that's I guess how it works.
Today i am confounded by toenail fungus, which has plagued my beautiful feet for a lifetime. I don't know when i contracted it, but it certainly has had its way with my feet. I beg the nail tech to grind down the toenails afflicted, which grow up instead of out, making toenails that have more in common with big macs than toenails. They are taken off by file or drill but they are powdered into tough skin and I pay my $50 and I am out of there for a month or so, until they grow up again, tighting my shoes, mocking me in their oddness and fungal existence. Nothing I do, have done, no amount of fungicide and even medication will help. They grow up, thick and menacing, hornlike. I wonder if I left them alone if they would somehow cover my entire foot, and perhaps I wouldn't need shoes anymore. Just my fungus and me, together for life.

Justice Johnson - X-Is Coming lyrics
1, 2, X is coming for you
3, 4, better lock your door
5, 6, get your crucifix
7, 8, don't stay up late
[Hook: DMX]
1, 2, X is coming for you
3, 4, better lock your door
5, 6, get your crucifix
7, 8, don't stay up late
[Verse 1]
Who's afraid of the dark?
Responsible for the murders in the park
When I bark, they hear the boom, but you see the spark
And I seen the part of your head which used to be your face
Was replaced by nothing for bluffing, what a waste
Niggas wanna see me taste my own medicine, picture that
Get on some old second grade shit, I'ma get you back
Retaliate, if it hates for you to think I took a loss
When all I did was shook it off
Yeah, you heard me, shook it off
Man, if we was up north, niggas would have been fucked you
But then we in the streets, niggas should haven been stuck you
Plucked you like a chicken wit' your head cut off
They'll find you wit' your back open and your legs cut off
And as for your man, don't you ever in your mothafuckin' life
Know when I gotta gun come at me wit' a knife, a'ight?
And forgetting you ever saw me is the best thing to do
Don't give a fuck about your family, they'll be resting with you
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2]
You got yourself in a predicament, that you can't get out of
You already in some shit, but it's about to get hotter
Fucking with a nigga like you running your mouth
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/justice-johnson/-/x-is-coming.html]
Will, have that same nigga like you, gun in your mouth
But won't be like the last time when you run in the house
Cause I ain't knocking on the door
I'm coming in the house
And I'm gunning for your spouse, trying to send the bitch back to her maker
And if you got a daughter older then 15, I'ma rape her
Take her on the living room floor, right there in front of you
Then ask you seriously, whatchu wanna do?
Frustrating, isn't it? When they kill me, but I'ma kill you
Now watch me fuck just a little while longer, please, will you?
This is revenge, no time before you die
And despite how much I hate to see a grown man cry
I'ma make you suffer, see your ass in Hell, Motherfucker, click, boom-boom
See your ass in hell
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
When I speak you better listen, the harder it gets, the more follows
And I'm hitting them with shit that they can't all swallow
I keep my slugs hollow, keep families with sorrow
Keep motherfuckers like you, not seeing tomorrow
I will borrow a gun, then run 'til I catch you
Let you slip up, just once, then I'ma wet you
Stretch you out like a limousine
Cause where I catch you is where I catch you, that's what killing means
Fuck whoever's standing there when you get what you got coming
Cause once I hit you in your head, the witnesses start running
Niggas started something, but they chose not to finish it
So I'ma wrap it up, for real, dog, cause I'ma winner, shit
Fuck it yo, let's end this shit, I don't need the plaques
And I ain't a DJ, nigga, so I don't need the wax
Gimme slugs from my gats
Gimme hoods from my rats
Gimme wood from my bats
Then they meet where the fuck I'm at, for real
[Hook x2]
