An ordinary family man, geologist, and Mormon, Soren Johansson has always believed he'll be reunited with his loved ones after death in an eternal hereafter. Then, he dies. Soren wakes to find himself cast by a God he has never heard of into a Hell whose dimensions he can barely grasp: a vast library he can only escape from by finding the book that contains the story of his life.
In this haunting existential novella, author, philosopher, and ecologist Steven L. Peck explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.

Beautifully unsettling
This short, smart existential novella is a gem. After the protagonist, Soren Johansson, a devout Mormon, dies of cancer, he finds himself in a room with four other people. There, an officious demon cheerfully informs everyone that they've all failed to follow the one true religion (which I won't spoil, but suffice to say, it's not one of the obvious candidates) and consigns them all to a variety of hells.
For the protagonist, hell is a bigger-than-the-known-universe library containing every possible book (including those whose contents are just random characters, i.e. the vast majority). And the only way out, according to a posted notice, is to find the book containing one's own life story. Hell does operate according to a few rules, which can't be broken. There are food dispensers, which give out any meal requested. Non-carried objects return to their place at the end of each day. People who die are returned to life.
At first, Soren does what most people would do: he explores, forms relationships, tests the rules, and discusses solutions to the shared predicament. But days, then months, then years pass. The denizens of the library form societies. Soren experiences wandering and loneliness. He falls in love. Then violent religious mania hits people, and hell really does become hell. So, he escapes to deeper levels, in search of both his lost lover and answers.
I won't give away what happens from there, but Peck does eventually make it clear that there's no easy way out. The author's wry sense of humor makes the haunting philosophical questions go down easy, but that won't stop them from swirling uncomfortably in your mind later. As I see it, this is a book about what faith really means. What happens if God utterly defies all our expectations? Would we still believe? Could we let go of our belief? And I don't think Peck is letting non-believers off the hook, either -- if we contemplate the hell of a purposeless reality, might it be better to have some ray of hope in a greater meaning, however slender?
Beautifully unsettling questions. I'm glad I spotted this one in an audible sale.

Great story
It doesn't take long to listen to the story (less than 3 hours) but the author packs a lot into it.
The premise is essentially: a nice guy, irregardless of how he lived on earth, ends up in hell, which actually does not seem so bad at the beginning. The demon in the first scene is more like an affable business manager than genuinely scary; people get idealized bodies once they're admitted to hell; and they can order whatever food they want from the food kiosks. Even though the task set to each person is tedious (find a single book in a mind-shatteringly huge library) there are optimistic/encouraging rules that give everybody in hell hope that they will eventually get out. Over time, the story slowly dismantles, piece by piece, this initial impression by undermining anything that might lead the main character to believe that hell is actually not that bad, while at the same time progressively building up, piece by piece, his growing realization of how horrific and tragic his circumstances actually are. It's a really impressive about-face. A great story, funny and tragic and hopeful and horrific all at once.

Look Infinity in the Face
What did you love best about A Short Stay in Hell?
Steven L. Peck turns a very abstract concept into an emotionally understandable and terrifying reality. Imagine a library with more books than there are electrons in the known universe; now imagine that you had to find one book among them. It's very hard to imagine this, but Steven tells the story with great skill and brings you through the joy, despair, hope, and hopelessness of the situation. Spiritual, philosophical, but also very down-to-earth, A Short Stay in Hell made me feel so many things that I will never forget it (when I finished it I had to go into the house and hug my wife). If you like thinking about "big questions" like how large the universe is and what immortality might be like, this book may teach you a lot of things.
What about Sergei Burbank's performance did you like?
Sergei Burbank read the book in a simple, honest tone, which suited the narrator very well. It felt like I was sitting with the main character, listening to him tell me his story.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
One day, this will all be a distant memory.

I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
While this book doesn't really line up with my own spiritual beliefs, it does present a very interesting version of hell beyond the stereotyped Dante's Inferno that much of the western Christian cultures have bought into. The first impression of a strange but not especially menacing existence (that is supposed to be only temporary anyway) initially inspires a sense of tentative relief. Then as the magnitude of the assigned task (finding a specific book among billions of books in a library of infinite dimensions) becomes increasingly evident, the reality of hell begins to assert itself. What temporary can mean in relation to eternity is suddenly daunting. Hopelessness, lack of a true faith to believe in, the absence of behavioral boundaries or consequences, and the lack of diversity among the residents may be a reflection of the type of lives many have lived on earth when our naïve thoughts of our own immortality fool us into careless lives. Do we create our own hells, underestimating the effect on our souls of living for the comfortable and the familiar instead of embracing more diverse possibilities of experience and acquaintance?
Beginning with a fairly light tone with humorous episodes, the mood subtly darkens as the story-teller relates his own increasing need to find an escape. Eventually he, and we with him, realize the full impact of his situation. Regardless of your belief or lack of belief in a hellish after-life, this book will challenge your viewpoints, and hopefully challenge your earthly behavior in the reflected image of what this literary hell looks like. Now I wonder what Peck's image of heaven looks like. I'll bet that's a mind bender too.

A strange tribute to Borges
So, you die and wind up in hell, greeted by a demon who says "Yeah, that religion you chose? Sorry, wrong one!"
This was a very odd little short novel, about a Mormon who dies and finds out that in fact, there is one true religion, and it isn't Mormonism. But don't worry - this is neither an anti-Mormon nor an evangelical work. The fact that the main character is a Mormon is just coincidence - he is joined in hell by many other people who are equally surprised at having checked the wrong box.
(What is the "one true religion," according to this book? It probably won't be your first or second or third guess... you'll just have to read it.)
The hell he is sent to (it's implied that there are multiple hells) is an infinite library, in which the residents are told all they have to do is find the one book on its shelves that tells their entire life story, complete and without a single typo or error. The catch is that every possible book of a given length, given the 95 standard characters on a Latin-character typewriter, exists in this library.
This is, in fact, literally Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel.
So, technically it's not infinite. But someone calculates the actual number of books that must exist in the library. If you know anything about exponentiation, you already have an inkling of how big the number is. For all practical purposes, the library is infinite and the residents of hell are stuck there for eternity.
The main character spends some time (a lot of time) exploring, meeting other people, figuring out the metaphysical rules that govern this place, and searching for that one book in umpty-gazillion-googleplex-to-the-numptifinity-power that will get him out.
This wasn't as philosophical as you might expect - there are not really any theological explorations on the part of the author or the characters. It's more of a modern tribute to Jorge Luis Borges, with some parts that reminded me a bit of Piers Anthony or Jack Chalker - not their penchant for skeeviness, but the way they create odd alternate worlds with different metaphysical rules and then toss an ordinary person into them to figure their way around.

A Most Depressing Excellent Novel
Peck had accomplished what I didn't think likely, capturing my own greatest fear (falling) in a book about an afterlife. As with all good fiction this novel's strength lies in its protagonist, a Mormon who must come to grips with a very weird version of hell. I found the character compelling and sympathetic. I also found his plight to be depressing as, well, hell.
This novel is going to become a favorite of mine; in fact, I may buy the ebook as well. The narrator was also quite good, capturing the feel of the character.

I'd be looking around for Rod Serling!
It's that old idea; Hell will be specific to each sinner. And you are sent there because you have fervently worshipped the 'wrong' God. But when you arrive-Thank God!-Satan's minion tells you that it's not forever, don't be silly. You must only perform one task, and then you can leave. How long will it take you to realize the immensity of your task? How long before you lose all hope? before you give up completely on God, if you haven't already? How long can you hold on to a sense of purpose, or assign meaning to your actions? What does it feel like when you can't?
This is such a funny, unique, fascinating, thought-provoking and enlightening story (I had never heard of the Library of Babel before), I absolutely LOVED, LOVED it!! Hell as a nearly-infinite library, with comfortable living quarters and food kiosks dispensing your
every wish, and all you have to do to be excused is find your own bio on the shelves.
Easy-peasy. No?

Makes you wonder...
For me, the narrator neither added to nor subtracted from the content of this story. When Soren Johansson, a Mormon, dies of brain cancer in his early 40's, he is stunned to find himself in hell. This is no hell that he or anyone else has ever fathomed. The reason he and the other people were cast in this particular hell is because they did not believe in Zoroastrianism. Who would have thought that's why you would end up in hell? But don't worry, this hell is not forever. Your ticket to getting out is to simply go through the vast library that awaits you and find the book about your life without any errors in it. So begins Soren's new "life" in hell. It may take you awhile to really understand the dimensions in this hell and when you do, you will not only wonder at its possibility but you will also find more value in time and life in general. This story made my head spin a bit but mostly it left me with a strange, unsettling kind of uncertainty about what could be.

Excellent novella!
Would you consider the audio edition of A Short Stay in Hell to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version (yet).
What other book might you compare A Short Stay in Hell to and why?
There is really no other book to compare it to; that said, this novella is an excellent examination of human morality, character, religious belief systems, etc. Excellent!
What about Sergei Burbank's performance did you like?
Very well done!
If you could take any character from A Short Stay in Hell out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The demon at the beginning of the story.
Any additional comments?
Read or listen to this story, it will stay with you for a long time.

Can't get it out of my head
Someone said that when reading a book, the journey is more important than the destination. This journey was exceedingly intriguing-but far too short. this book has stuck in my head more than most because of the enormity of the task involved and the irony that "hell is not eternal". Absolutely great short listen.

The next turn of the U.S. presidential race hinges on two men who embody the philosophical differences between the political parties more starkly than the candidates at the top of the tickets.
Democrats are counting on Vice President Joe Biden, 69, an old-school party veteran at home in union halls and firehouses, to discredit Republican nominee Mitt Romney's agenda. Republicans are pushing for Paul Ryan, 42, a self-proclaimed "young gun" of conservatives, to attack President Barack Obama's economic stewardship and maintain the momentum Romney gained in the first presidential debate on Oct. 3.
Biden and Ryan also will have to use their ties to core party supporters to boost turnout in an election in which polls show as few as 4 percent of likely voters are undecided.
Obama's lackluster performance in the earlier encounter magnifies the importance of tonight's 90-minute debate, starting at 9 p.m., New York time, said Michael Berman, a former senior aide to then-Vice President Walter Mondale.
"I can't think of a vice presidential debate that's had this high a level of attention because of something that's already happened," said Berman, now president of the Duberstein Group, a Washington lobbying firm founded by Ronald Reagan's former chief of staff. The stakes are greater even than Biden's debate with the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, whose selection excited broad public interest, he said.
Obama Criticized
Obama was criticized even by Democrats after the first debate for lacking energy and failing to counter Romney's arguments. The NBC television comedy show "Saturday Night Live" parodied his performance with an actor dozing off at the debate podium.
The president fell from an average 5-point lead over Romney among registered voters during the three days before their first contest to a tie during the three days afterward, according to a Gallup tracking poll. While Romney's post-debate gains among registered voters have receded, Gallup says he's now tied with Obama among likely voters, who are more Republican-leaning.
More voters view Biden unfavorably than favorably. Opinion on Ryan is more evenly divided. Thirty-nine percent of registered voters hold a positive opinion of Biden compared with 51 percent who have a negative opinion, according to a poll conducted Oct. 4-7 by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Ryan is viewed favorably by 44 percent and unfavorably by 40 percent. The survey of 1,201 registered voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
Clear Contrast
When the vice presidential candidates take the stage at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky, they are likely to deploy the forceful arguments they've used on the stump.
Biden campaigns in the scrappy language of the white working-class voters he grew up among in Scranton, Pennsylvania, distilling Obama's record into a bumper-sticker phrase, "Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive." He has praised the president as a "gutsy" leader.
Ryan has fired off criticism at the Democratic incumbents, telling the Republican National Convention that Obama's vision for America is "a dull, adventureless journey from one entitlement to the next, a government-planned life, a country where everything is free but us."
They also offer a clear contrast on approaches to issues such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Those popular programs, which provide health insurance and pensions to more than 100 million middle- and lower-income Americans, are also key drivers of the nation's long-term budget deficits.
'Premium Support'
Ryan sponsored a House Republican budget that would turn the Medicare health-insurance system for the elderly and disabled into a "premium support" plan, in which a fixed amount of money is provided to beneficiaries for the purchase of coverage. Romney also has adopted a premium support plan.
Democrats say the ceiling on Medicare benefits that Republicans support would raise out-of-pocket health-care costs for the elderly.
Romney would turn the Medicaid insurance system for the poor, which also covers costs for nursing-home care for many elderly Americans, into a block-grant program for states. That would mean $1.26 trillion would be stripped from Medicaid over nine years, a Bloomberg Government study released last month found. The program is jointly funded by the federal government and the states.
Base Appeal
Presidential candidates, especially in the Republican Party, often have named running mates that strengthen their appeal to the ideological base, among them Dwight Eisenhower's choice of Richard Nixon in 1952, Gerald Ford's selection of Robert Dole in 1976 and Dole's choice of Jack Kemp in 1996.
On the Democratic side, Jimmy Carter's pick of Mondale in 1976 is an example, said Joel Goldstein, a scholar of the vice presidency and law professor at St. Louis University.
Still, Goldstein said, "I don't think we've ever had a vice presidential candidate who was so identified with a controversial central issue of the campaign as Ryan has been."
While Nixon was at the forefront of efforts to purge the U.S. government of suspected communists, and 1964 Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey was an early advocate for civil rights legislation, "their name wasn't on it in the same way" as Ryan's plans for the overhaul of Medicare and other entitlement programs, Goldstein said.
Biden has a closer link than Obama to such traditional Democratic constituencies as unions, the elderly, Jewish organizations and women's groups, Goldstein said.
'Deep Connection'
Biden, the oldest of the four men who will stand at the podium in the debates, also is steeped in his party's commitment to social programs that support retirees, said Howard Dean, a former Democratic National Committee chairman and onetime presidential candidate.
"Joe has a very deep connection with the old Democratic Party, which is all about the Great Society and the New Deal," Dean said. "He's not likely to give up the store in terms of Medicare and Social Security, and people know that."
Within the Obama administration, Biden also has been a voice for the liberal side on issues such as reducing the U.S. troop commitment in Afghanistan.
Both vice presidential candidates have embraced the presidential running mate's traditional role in attacking the opposing camp on the campaign trail and in speeches to their respective party national conventions.
Ryan, a Wisconsin lawmaker who is chairman of the House Budget Committee, portrayed Obama and Biden as politicians of the past who have "run out of ideas," in a nationally televised speech in August accepting his nomination at the Republican convention in Tampa, Florida.
Biden derided the plans Romney and Ryan have proposed for Medicare as "vouchercare" in his own acceptance speech last month at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. He cast Romney's approach to economic policy as an elevation of balance sheets over human suffering that he disparaged as "the Bain Way," referring to Bain Capital, the private-equity firm Romney co-founded.
Both candidates have strayed into controversy in making their cases. Independent fact-checkers found as many as seven statements in Ryan's acceptance speech that were false or distorted. Republicans expressed outrage after Biden told a racially mixed audience in Virginia in August that Romney's policies toward Wall Street would "put y'all back in chains."
Burden on Biden
Steve Schmidt, chief strategist for Republican presidential candidate John McCain's 2008 campaign, said the impetus will be even greater on Biden to take up the role as attacker because Obama didn't effectively counter Romney last week.
"The Republican argument can't go unrebutted in this debate from the Democratic perspective," said Schmidt, who helped prepare Palin in 2008 and Dick Cheney in 2004 for vice presidential debates. "All the opportunities that they view as missed opportunities to draw blood, to make a rebuttal, they'll be looking at Joe Biden to do that."
Cheney confronted a similar situation in his debate eight years ago with Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, which came after an opening encounter in which President George W. Bush fared poorly, Schmidt said.
Cheney's performance "brought balance back to the race and stopped the hemorrhaging before the president got back on the stage for a second time," Schmidt said.
Though the main objective for both Biden and Ryan will be to make the case for the presidential candidates, the philosophical and intellectual grounding each has for his views provides an advantage going in to the event, said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a candidate in this election's presidential primaries who participated in debates among the Republican field.
"It will be a fun debate between two true believers," Gingrich said.

Ludovic Bource | "The Artist"
There was, of course, a bit of a history lesson that French composer Ludovic Bource embarked upon while working on "The Artist." Some of the touchstones for director Michel Hazanavicius' silent film about the end of the silent film era were clear, such as "Sunset Boulevard" and the music of the late film composer Franz Waxman. Yet Bource also immersed himself in the work of early Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein and classical masters such as Johannes Brahms.
Next, he had to get that all out of his head, to compose a score that would pay tribute to Hollywood's musically flamboyant and often playful beginnings yet still capture the starkness of the dying pride of silent film star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin). "With all these music references, I had to start, first and foremost, on my own music, my own main theme for 'The Artist,'" said Bource, who speaks limited English. "I started with six principal themes for George."
In the 100 minutes of "The Artist," Bource's music touches on a lifetime of sounds, from Bollywood melodicism to noir-like diversions. Sometimes, Bource said, he wasn't sure what the right cue would be, instead waiting to see the exaggerated expressions on the faces of the actors.
"Music and film are sometimes a strange chemical formula," he said.

Getting money back from Uncle Sam can be a nice windfall of unexpected money, but don't let it burn a hole in your pocket.
Continue Reading Below
"When people get that refund they want to spend it because they feel like it's free money even though it's their money," says Jeff Bucher, president of Citizen Advisory Group. "At the end of the day, it might make the most sense to apply it toward any high interest rate debt they've accumulated."
Taxpayers need to keep in mind that a tax refund is essentially the government returning money they overpaid at some point over the last year. Experts recommend evaluating your financial situation to best determine how to use the refund: pay down debt, increase savings, spend it or use it to invest.
If you have credit card debt or other high interest rate debt, financial experts recommend using the money to pay it down.
If you don't have any debt, review (or create) your rainy day fund to make sure it has enough to cover three to six months of expenses, suggests John McDonough, managing member of the general partner of Studemont Group.
If you have no debt and enough savings tucked away, financial advisors recommend spending a portion of the refund and investing the rest.
Opening up a Roth IRA with the tax refund can help establish more savings because you won't get taxed on any investment gains, says Andrew Meadows from The Online 401(k).
"When you go on a diet you are rewarded with lower weight, and the same thing goes for the tax refund," says Meadows. "Give yourself a little something but the rest of the money goes toward the future."
Whether you spend or save your tax refund, it's important to have a long-term view. A $3,000 refund may not seem like a lot for one year, but if you get that same amount for 20 years, it can really add up. "People aren't very purposeful about how they spend $3,000 a year, but over 30 years, it's real money," says David Richmond, founder of Richmond Brothers.
For many people, getting a big refund check each year is a nice surprise, but they should evaluate their withholdings because they may be losing out. Richmond says that if his clients get anything more than $2,000 or $3,000 back, he works with them to better estimate their taxes so less is taken out from each pay check.
"The government is holding the money all year," he says. "It's better to re-estimate your withholdings then give a free loan to Uncle Sam." By having the money sit with the government instead of in your pay check, you are losing the ability to earn interest on it or use the extra money to reduce debt.
An easy way to calculate how much should be withheld is to go to the use the calculator on the IRS website. Once you figure out the appropriate number, call your human resources department to g et a new W4 form and have it adjusted based on what should be withheld.
"Some people like the concept of forced savings but they don't understand that the government is using that money for 0% interest," adds McDonough. "Ideally you should be getting zero back."

Cowboys Designate Hamlin as Franchise Player
According to several NFL sources, Pro Bowl safety, Ken Hamlin has been designated with the franchise tag by the Dallas Cowboys.
Ken Hamlin is coming off of a fine season in which he established himself as a force in the secondary and earned Pro Bowl honors in the process. It was believed that after the season the Cowboys would sign the 27-year old to a long term deal, but that still may happen despite the franchise designation.
There was some speculation that Flozell Adams may have gotten the tag instead so that the Cowboys could keep the 33-year old tackle on a one-year deal rather than giving him a longer term deal. However that speculation ended when it became apparent that the team would have had to pay him about $9 million dollars for the season.
Hamlin will be paid $4.4 million next season.
Players who are designated franchise players receive a salary that is the average of the top five players at their position.
The bottom line is we have Ken Hamlin in the fold and that's a good thing!
Go Cowboys!

No not the very large animal with antlers, my Moose. My 12 pound bundle of fury, my constant companion, the shadow that follows me everywhere, and I do mean everywhere (I can't even go to the bathroom without him sitting in front of the pot waiting). That was probably too much info huh? My Johnny Cash loving, feet warmin', smotherer of kisses, sweet baby boy, Moose.
I realized that he is one member of my family who I have neglected when it comes to the treat department, one very small furry member. I decided it was time to make Moose some home made dog treats. He is fussy when it comes to his treats. If it's soft and chewy, he gobbles it right down. If it's a hard biscuit, he puts it in his mouth, walks all over the house, or yard, carrying it between his teeth, crying and whimpering until he buries it. No, we don't buy him hard biscuits but our mail lady loves Moose and has a treat ready for him every Saturday. He will run to her at lightening speed, immediately sit for his treat and then he's off to hide it. It's really comical to watch. I'm sure they are at least 2 dozen biscuits decaying in my yard right now.
I searched for days and days for a dog biscuit that didn't look like it would cook up too hard. I know he's loves peanut butter, so I thought these would be a hit, and they were.
This recipe make quite a few dozen treats. I doubled the recipe and boy oh boy do we have lots of dog treats now! I have 5 different sizes of bone cookie cutters, so I could make different sizes for all our doggie friends.
Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup water
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
Preheat oven to 350F. Combine oil, peanut butter, and water. Add flour 1 cup at a time, and then knead into firm dough. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with small bone shaped cookie cutter. Bake at 350 for 15 -18 minutes. I pulled them out of the oven at 15 mins so they would be a bit chewier. Move to cookie rack to cool.
See him smilin'? He loved his treats!

Oh Sure, Now The Patent Office Realizes Apple's 'Rubberbanding' Patent Is Both Obvious And Not New
from the a-bit-late dept
It is important, of course, to note that this is a "non-final" rejection -- and even "final rejections" often are not really "final." Apple can, and will, go back to the USPTO and plead its case, and it's not uncommon for "non-final" rejections to go back in the other direction eventually. Of course, all that really does show is how arbitrary and silly the patent system is, in which we award many millions of dollars to patent holders based on the whims of a small group of patent examiners who can't keep their story straight. Either way, this patent was one of the ones that the jury had ruled Samsung infringed upon, so the judge in the case may need to revisit that part of the ruling.

Anyone using Repetier?
Yesterday I downloaded it using their online configurator tool, but it won't compile yet. I suppose there is an empty variable, but didn't have the time to debug yet.
There are many settings which are different from Marlin. Would be interesting to hear from someone who has already gotten through the stuff with his printer

Wait. Stop. What are we arguing about? I hate to spoil the fun, but deficit hawks and deficit doves are actually in agreement about how this sucker should play out.
There's an old joke in academia about how the disputes there are so vicious because the stakes are so small. In the current debate about the government and the economy, the stakes are not small. But the breadth of disagreement between the two sides is smaller than anyone wishes to acknowledge.
Businessman and billionaire Peter G. Peterson is Mr. Deficit Panic. He's spending a billion of his own dollars warning people about the danger of the growing national debt. And yet, speaking about the deficit to Time magazine in December, he said, "I wouldn't enact any measures to reduce it until the economy recovers properly." In fact, he told Time that he actually favors more stimulus spending, "as long as it's well designed and paid for."
Peterson is a bit confused here. If an economic stimulus is paid for, it ceases to be a stimulus. The borrowing isn't incidental: Spending more than you've got is the whole point. But Peterson's basic scenario is this: Let the deficit grow and don't worry about it until economic recovery, then get serious about reforming entitlements and go ahead and raise taxes if you insist. The national debt is what I care about.

Does passing down the farm also include passing down the blood, sweat, and tears?Tweet
One of the more volatile rural issues in recent years was the 2012 attempt by the Department of Labor to create rules about what work youngsters can and cannot do on the farm. When there was a great concern expressed about youth being raised on a farm being prevented from doing typical farm labor and chores, the Department of Labor backtracked on the issue but left some of the questions unanswered. As we shift into high gear for another summer on the farm, many farmers may have questions about who can do what, without the risk of labor law violations. We have some answers for your questions.
Many of today's farmers were raised with a weed hook in one hand and a bale hook in the other. Many have holes and scars on legs from those and other important tools, but they wonder if passing down the farm also includes passing down the blood, sweat, and tears. Peggy Hall and Catharine Daniels, agricultural law specialists with Ohio State University offer their analysis of federal laws that address the age of youth working on the farm, the relationship with the farm operator, and the danger level of the work involved. With the need and tradition of employing youth for summer farm labor, many farmers will wonder what their own children can legally do, compared to one of their schoolmates who was hired to also work during the summer.
Hall and Daniels suggest establishing the relationship of the minor to the farm operator, then allowing the age of the youngster help determine what work can be accomplished. If the minor is the natural child or grandchild of the operator, any type of work can be performed, even that which is considered hazardous. That also includes any minors who might be on the farm where the operator is their legal guardian.
They say where there is no familial or legal relationship, the type of work to be assigned depends on the age of the youngster. They say:
- 16 and 17 year olds – May perform any type of farm job including agricultural jobs considered hazardous.
- 14 and 15 year olds – May not perform any job listed as hazardous unless the child holds a 4-H or vocational agriculture certificate of completion for tractor operation or machine operation and the employer keeps a copy of the certificate on file with the minor employee's record.
- 12 and 13 year olds – May not perform any job listed as hazardous; may only perform non-hazardous jobs if with written consent for employment from a parent or guardian or if the child is working on a farm that also employs the child's parent or guardian.
- 11 year olds and younger – May not perform hazardous jobs. May only perform non-hazardous farm work if a parent or guardian gives written consent and if the child will be working on a farm where employees are exempt from minimum wage requirements.
Since many chores on the farm might be considered hazardous to some, but not to others, Hall and Daniels provide some guidance. The following can be accomplished by any child in a parental or guardian relationship with the farm operator, but non-related youth need to be a minimum of 16 to work at the following:
- Operating a tractor with more than 20 PTO horsepower, including hitching it to any equipment.
- Operating or assisting with combines and other powered equipment.
- Working in a pen or stall in which an animal might be agitated by anyone present
- Working with timber and logs of more than 6 inch diameter.
- Working from a ladder or scaffold either repairing/painting, or working with fruit trees.
- Driving a vehicle which carries co-workers.
- Working in an environment that is deficient in oxygen.
- Handling crop protection chemicals
- Handling explosives.
- Handling, transporting, or applying anhydrous ammonia.
Violations could be subject to both state and federal laws, should injuries or other tragedies occur, along with fines and confinement. To assure compliance, verify the age of the youngster and keep documentation. Know what tasks are considered to be hazardous. Remember that a child or grandchild can do certain chores that are unlawful for a nephew of the same age to perform. Review safety practices with youngsters.
Farms are great places for youth to learn about life, work ethic, and many other positive attributes of adulthood. However, current labor laws give different consideration of what tasks can be accomplished, depending on the age of the youngster and their relationship to the farm operator. There are a wide number of tasks on the farm that need to be accomplished and each will have a place on the hazardous list, which may or may not be performed by all youth.

A great indication of how jaded I've become happened last Monday afternoon when the Local's circulation manager Cheryl Massaro told me that the Sovereign Bank branch on Germantown Avenue had been robbed. The news wasn't surprising at all. I shrugged and cursed the fact that I had to prepare a news story on the robbery in addition to my usual deadline duties.
A bank robbery just isn't a big story in Chestnut Hill any more. Every few months, it seems, there's a another incident. Bank robberies are definitely not as common in Chestnut Hill as laptop thefts from cars, but they occur at an interval regular enough to fail to inspire surprise, shock or awe.
What was shocking, though, was the subsequent surveillance camera footage of one of the Sovereign bank robbers (there were two). In the photo, the man was hoisting a pistol-grip shotgun in the direction of what I can only assume was one of the Sovereign Bank tellers. The typical bank robbery involves a threatening note, not a lethal weapon. That image was disturbing to me on several levels.
First, it's hard to believe that people are allowed to even purchase something like a pistol-grip shotgun, a weapon designed for easy — by shotgun standards — concealment and to "neutralize" large crowds. It's the weapon you'd want in a riot. In other words, it's designed for nothing but incredibly illegal uses. You're not going to hunt or even shoot targets with one of these things.
The second, and even more chilling thing, is to consider what it means when a someone can enter an area building and just point a shotgun at someone in the afternoon.We never consider the possibility that when we're in a bank a nut with a large and lethal gun might suddenly appear. I guarantee that people in the bank branch at the time this happened are now dealing with some form of trauma.
So what do we do?
Fortunately, no one has been hurt in any of the bank robberies in Chestnut Hill. But that doesn't make it any less frightening. How can we go about our daily routines when we have to worry about this sort of thing? Should we demand reform of some kind? If so, what would work?
The knee jerk reaction is to blame police or lack of police coverage in Chestnut Hill. I don't feel like this is the case. I see police in Chestnut Hill as frequently, if not more frequently, than I see them in suburban neighborhoods. I don't think it's rationalizing or apologizing to recognize that the police really can't be everywhere all the time.
Should banks have better security? Perhaps they should. I hate the idea of armed guards in a potential shoot-out with robbers inside a bank branch, but perhaps a good security guard cuts down the likelihood of a robbery all together.
Perhaps there's not much that can be done to cut down bank robberies. Robbing a bank is beyond desperate and crazy to begin with – it's automatically a federal crime (the FBI comes after you and you don't get parole in a federal sentence), and surveillance is so pervasive, it's impossible not to have your identity in the news moments later. Also, bank robberies are among the crimes most often solved.
According to national crime statistics, 60 percent of bank robbery cases are closed compared to 25 percent for other theft cases. Robbers seldom get more than a few thousand dollars, too. There's little incentive and high risk.
Given those facts, It's hard to imagine much will deter people bent on doing something as dangerous and stupid as rob a bank to begin with. I'd like to think differently, but it seems as it we're going to just have to live with the fact that banks get robbed and that at any time we might come face to face with a guy and a large gun.

text: Backup and Storage (3)Click here to read Storage 1 Click here to read Storage 2 Storage Types... Storage 2 addressed the need to backup our gadgets, devices and computers. Convenience for some, necessity for others and for the most casual user, perhaps unnecessary. But for most of us, business or personal, a lot useful stuff is contained in our devices, and losing it can be a big pain. Hard Drives: The Device Component That Just Keeps Going and Giving Until... Unless you have a new Macbook or Windows Ultrabook, your computer probably stores its data stuff on a conventional, spinning platter hard drive, a technology almost as old as the big bang. We've come a long way (per Moore's law) toward improving this component, but almost all of the basic design principles have survived for decades. A conventional hard drive serves up our data stuff much like sandwich building from a Lazy Susan; first we spin the platter to bring a bun within reach, pluck it onto our plate, then spin again for a burger and fetch it, then spin for each condiment until our custom sandwich is fully formed, then we eat it it. The conventional hard drive has a platter too, only instead of sandwich parts it holds tiny, discrete magnetic parts, or data bits. The platter spins, and a tiny pickup (think Kristen Wiig's tiny hand) reaches out and takes whatever bit is needed, moves to another position and repeats the process, until the file we want (picture, music track, etc.) is fully formed, then we use it. Let's say that your hard drive platter is divided into a million sections, although in reality there are many more. Every night is oldie's night at Rich McKinney's house (when he's not serving up a gourmet meal or writing Community Choir music), and tonight he's watching Casablanca, downloaded from Amazon and recorded on his hard drive. During download his movie was scattered to various locations all over the platter, but the opening bit is in section 1001. When Rich decides to watch the movie his computer tells the spinning disk to reference an index, the index finds the location of Casablanca on the spinner, and the tiny pickup moves to position 1001... curtain up! In the process of watching the pickup device will move to many different positions, re-assembling the scattered, out of order pieces into an orderly flow. Presto, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, et al, do their thing, and Rich didn't notice or care that fantastic technology was silently performing underneath his view. It's a clever mechanism and not much more complicated than it sounds. Spinner drives can hold a great many data sandwiches in a package about half the size of a cigarette pack (for a laptop). Desktop hard drives are larger but operate on exactly the same principle. Spinning drives are unfortunately volatile, prone to injury by shock and heat, so they won't last forever. Like tires on a car or shingles on a roof, time and use will eventually destroy them. Laptop drives are particularly vulnerable because they're often jostled about while spinning, so even a modest bump can destroy one, and with it an entire collection of carefully constructed data sandwiches. The world runs on spinning hard drives, just like the ones in our compuers. I wasn't able to find any definitive numbers, but somewhere between 1 and 10 million servers are thought run Google alone (old numbers), and each of these devices might control many hard drives. The failure rate of spinners is high, somewhere around 2-3 years per drive, so Google is trashing and replacing them at a fantastic rate. Plus, Google is just one small piece of the world's data delivery puzzle. As a side note, consider the energy cost for using Google, or any other internet service: our computers consume electricity, roughly $30/year for a desktop, as little as $1.35 for an iPad and somewhere in between for laptops. Then add all wire, fiber optics, satellites, offices, etc., that connect us to Google's data centers, the power required to send/receive our requests and return them (the equivalent to running a 60 watt light bulb for 17 seconds per search). Add the chemicals and precious metals used in manufacturing, and it adds up to an extraordinary resource footprint for each gadget. An article published in Time Magazine way back in September, 2011 estimated that Google's data centers alone consumed enough power to run 200,000 average homes. Credit where due, Google, Microsoft and many other data providers believe in global warming, after all they are scientists, many have children and, therefore, take more than a casual interest in future beyond their lifetimes. So these companies are spending big bucks to become carbon neutral, and I'm not just talking about silly carbon offsets, I'm talking substantial, renewable, cost saving, planet saving sun-sucking energy. These scientist/designers know that when an individual starts a car and/or runs a device, the planet heats up a little, and as the entire world turns on an increasing number of devices and cars the planet heats up a lot. Record summer of 2012 anyone? Ingenuity, the Industrial Revolution, and now the Information Revolution no doubt contribute to the destruction of our fragile planet, but the intelligence gained from that cost is perhaps the only hope of saving it. Pick your poison, but personally I hope we utilize information and intelligence to figure it out, because I love my gadgets and all the data sandwich stuff contained therein. In the next post I'll address a fantastic, new storage solution, available to all right now, that has zero moving parts, is largely invulnerable to shock and uses less electricity. All the discrete bits we need to watch Casablanca are still necessary, but they're now stored in tiny fixed chunks, rather than on spinning platters. They're called Solid State Drives, or SSDs.

After 223 days and a little more than 3,000 miles of walking, Stacie Eichiner made it safely to Fletcher Friday afternoon.
After 223 days and a little more than 3,000 miles of walking, Stacie Eichiner made it safely to Fletcher Friday afternoon.
Twenty-nine-year-old Eichiner is walking from Seattle to Savannah, Ga. raising money for Beads of Courage, which provides arts-in-medicine supportive care programs for children coping with serious illness, their families and health care providers who care for them.
She is raising $10 for every mile she walks, represented by a bead in the shape of a shoe. The beads will be given to children supported by Beads of Courage.
Along her journey, Eichinger is stopping at children's hospitals to visit the children supported by the program.
"When I meet the kids I give them one of my shoe beads, and it comes with a little card and I fill it out; it says how many miles I walked and what states I walked through," Eichinger said.
The Tucson, Ariz. resident said she was inspired in high school by the 1979 book "Walk Across America" and has had the journey in the back of her mind ever since. During her travels she has frequently mentioned its author, Peter Jenkins, who has since reached out to her. Eichinger says Jenkins is now following her travels via Facebook.
She has a blog called "Walk 4 Courage" and uses it to write about her travels, raise money and share a map of her path so that people can find her along the way or offer support.
"My watch tracks elevation gain and I can't remember the exact number, but basically from sea level to summit, I could have submitted Mt. Everest four times," Eichinger said.
Her journey began May 8 and will end at Tybee Island on Feb. 1, where her family and boyfriend will join her for her last two miles.
"It's crazy that it's almost here," she said Friday.
To follow Eichinger's journey, visit www.walk4courage.com.

Apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place but i am kinda new to this forum.
I am running a captcha contact form, which has been running fine, however recently the captcha image within the form does now not appear and i am struggling to work out why.
I am fairly new to this process and have tried to research into what the problem may be but without much success.
The error that i am getting is as follows:-
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettfbbox() in /home/public_html/Captcha.php on line 60
Line 60 in my Captcha.php file is as follows:-
$textbox = imagettfbbox($font_size, 0, $font, $code);
$x = ($image_width - $textbox[4])/2;
$y = ($image_height - $textbox[5])/2;
imagettftext($image, $font_size, 0, $x, $y, $text_color, $font , $code);
What i don't understand is that the script has been working fine without any changes in code or directory. I am fairly new to this so am stuck for ideas.
My full code for captcha.php is included as attachment.
Thanks in advance!

DuMars, a three-time CAC Coach-of-the-Year, earned the 2003 Capital Athletic Conference Coach-of-the-Year as she led the Spartans to a 26-11 record and an appearance in the CAC championship game as the Spartans finished tied for first in the CAC.

The 2009 squad finished with 18 wins as the youthful squad gained valuable experience in playing a number of tightly contested matches.
DuMars ranks first on the all-time Spartan coaching wins list with 310 victories in her 15 seasons at the helm of the program. She surpassed Don Stabler's school record of 90 wins on September 22, 2001, when the Spartans defeated St. Mary's College. She picked up her 300th career win on September 14, 2011 when the Spartans blanked Hood 3-0 in a Capital Athletic Conference match. DuMars owns an overall record of 319-252.
DuMars has recruited and coached 23 All-Capital Athletic Conference players including two-time CAC Player-of-the-Year Kerry Casperson. Casperson is just one of two CAC, two-time Player-of-the-Year in any sport in York College history. The Spartans have seven 20-plus win seasons under the guidance of DuMars.
In addition to her duties on the floor, DuMars works with fundraising and marketing for the Spartan athletic department.

Jermayne Timmons is being sentenced tomorrow in Albany County Court, more than nine months after he fired the gun that killed 10-year-old Kathina Thomas outside her home.
Timmons, 16, was convicted in January of killing the Guyana-born child, shot by a .45 caliber bullet as she played outside her home at 445 First St.
Because of his age, Timmons faces a maximum of 15 years to life in prison (an adult would face 25 years to life) from Judge Stephen Herrick.
Last July, Herrick issued that maximum term to 16-year-old Nahjaliek McCall, who was convicted of killing 15-year-old Shahied Oliver in Arbor Hill the prior August. Like Timmons, McCall was 15 at the time of the killing.
That case also had the same defense attorney (Deputy Public Defender Peter Lynch) and prosecutor (Assistant District Attorney David Rossi), though that case has zero bearing on the Timmons sentencing.

This year's seemingly endless winter leaves us longing for something to lift our spirits. Some artistic inspiration may be the answer right now. The latest round of exhibits on the local scene offer divergent creative perspectives that look back on the past while reflecting thoroughly modern viewpoints.
'Women of the World'
Local female artists are a force to be reckoned with, as evidenced by the art and photography exhibition that will be unveiled at Nassau County's Theodore Roosevelt Executive Building in Mineola on Feb. 26. "Women of the World," the inspiration of Searingtown-based photojournalist Jill Rader Levine, who curates the exhibit, gathers 53 of Long Island's best and brightest creative talents — who all happen to be women.
"As curator of "Women Of The World," it was an amazing 'artventure' for me to set out on a quest to locate and invite outstanding women artists from every corner of Long Island to showcase their individual style," Levine said. "The results of their creativity in expressing the theme of the feminine mystique are brilliant unique images that will leave a memorable impression on all." The event, honoring the region's many award-winning artists and photographers, kicks off Women's History Month in March. After next week's showcase, an expanded version of the exhibit — featuring over 100 works — moves to the Hutchins Gallery, located in LIU Post's main library on its Brookville campus. It opens there March 4 and will run through the end of the month.
Meanwhile the contributing artists and photographers are gearing up for the exhibit's premiere on Wednesday. Each artist will have one piece on display on opening night, when they will compete for awards. A distinguished panel of judges will evaluate each piece and award six prizes in two categories: Fine Art/Multimedia and Photography.
