A wake was held Monday for the New York City Google employee found dead a week ago after she went for a run near her mother's Massachusetts home.
Vanessa Marcotte was found dead last Sunday night hours after she went for a run near her mother's home in Princeton, a rural town west of Boston.
Runners, family, friends and community members met Sunday night in the small town for a 5K run in honor of the 27-year-old Google employee.
Investigators believe she was attacked by a man and may have injured him in a struggle. A cause of death hasn't been revealed in the case.
Authorities say they've received hundreds of tips but don't have any suspects. They're urging residents in the area to remain vigilant.
Calling hours were from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday.
A funeral Mass is scheduled for Tuesday at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic church in Leominster, followed by burial at Woodside Cemetery in Westminster.
According to her obituary, Marcotte was "kind, compassionate, bright, curious, charming, and vivacious" and "was blessed with beauty, grace, a generous spirit, and a loving heart."
Marcotte's death shares some similarities with that of Karina Vetrano, a woman who was found strangled in a Queens park after leaving for a run on Aug. 2.

World IPv6 Day results positive
The much anticipated World IPv6 Day is now behind us. Almost 400 vendors came together on June 8, 2011 by enabling IPv6 for their content and services for 24 hours. Cisco was one of them. The goal of the test was to demonstrate the viability and potential caveats of a large-scale IPv6 deployment in the real world, as IPv6 has been steadily gaining more and more traction and interest recently due to the gradual IPv4 address exhaustion.
Internally, Cisco, as most organizations, was preparing for the 24 hours to go smoothly for its own IPv6-served content. At the same time, considering the large deployment of Cisco devices throughout networks everywhere, precautions were taken to address any issues that could arise during the dry run. Fortunately, activities concluded successfully with no major issues, showing that an IPv6 future could be closer than initially thought.
There already are and will be many reports created on results, statistics and lessons learned during testing. Among those, we would like to stress a few key-points taken from Cisco Distinguished and Support Engineers Carlos Pignataro, Salman Asadullah, Phil Remaker and Andrew Yourtchenko, who were all engaged in the project, which give a general feel on how the day went:
- Vendor coordination was made possible, showing that even competitors can work together when it comes to a common goal that will benefit everyone.
- There were no support cases related to the World IPv6 Day activities, which indicated a good level of both IPv6 preparedness and product readiness.
- IPv6 adoption could happen smoothly, avoiding major technical issues when done methodically.
- AAAA DNS records that are used for IPv6 do not automatically "break" the Internet, as it was often argued. There are certain challenges with providing an IPv6-enabled DNS infrastructure, but these can be addressed.
- User experience feedback was positive. That was based on an IPv6-only approach. Due to the implementations in a dual-stack environment, user experience could deteriorate based on IPv6 and/or IPv4 performance. In such environments, solutions that track IPv6 and IPv4 performance can alleviate help. As the transition is taking place for years to come, dual-stacked environments will be the way to go, and solutions like Happy Eyeballs can certainly make the experience more transparent for users. The Chrome browser already implements a similar fall-back mechanism, which had documented benefits for some of its users.
Concluding, it is important to note that the successful World IPv6 Day exercise proved that transition to IPv6 would probably not be nearly as scary as many had originally thought some time ago. Careful and gradual adoption is easier than it was believed, and it is already happening. Product concerns, improvements and caveats here at Cisco are aggressively being worked on, and the future will only include positive developments.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

I can definitely see myself getting married later.

Stay single.

At this point, I want to marry my computer.
Although I'm still (relatively) young, so my mind might shift over the years.

I dunno. Probably sometimes in the far future. Although the chance is scarce since I'm kinda afraid of the idea of marriage.
MoonLight & Vines [*Sig by my dear Sis Lissy*]
I'd prefer to stay single. I'm not one of those girls that either enjoys being "romanced" or even treated like a girl. It seems like far too much work for nothing. Plus I'd never be able to date a guy that lived by the "Do Not Hit Girls" code. I don't want to be beaten or whatever, but I don't want to be treated differently because I'm female. It's an insult to me.
I embrace all that humanity fears within.
Our perception of the world allows us to perceive ourselves.
Being different often means being alone.
Some people try so hard to hide from the world, only to find that the world doesn't know they exist. Will you give up?
I just graduated from the Psycho Ward, wanna play?
I'll probably have a companion, but never marry, divorce is much to expensive.
For My Friends....
will get married...wont force it though
I've considered marriage. Yes, marriage is in my future, but I'm just relaxing for now, until, "The One Just For Me" shows up. For now, I'll just continue to be a kid...'cause you only have one chance at that! So I won't waste my time worrying about marriage and the future.
Oh, Hi-deeki, imagine... your kind not eating raw fish! ^_^
I would like to get married, in 15 years, thats my plan.
Getting married...Never really tought about it actually. I'm too focused on my career right now...
In memories of LikeNaruto.com, the best Naruto site/Social Network ever created
Well, getting married is obviously gonna have to happen in the future.
I'm only 18 and still single. It's sad and depressing I know but what are you gonna do.
~Yay! This is the first sig I ever made!~Wanna be friends? Just drop me a line.My family is in my blog. Pm me to become a member.
The more the merrier!
I would be happy with either, whatever happens, happens.
Knowing me, I'd probably settle down, find a nice girl, and get married.

A Broken Appointment - Poem by Thomas Hardy
You did not come,
And marching Time drew on, and wore me numb.
Yet less for loss of your dear presence there
Than that I thus found lacking in your make
That high compassion which can overbear
Reluctance for pure lovingkindness' sake
Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum,
You did not come.
You love not me,
And love alone can lend you loyalty;
-I know and knew it. But, unto the store
Of human deeds divine in all but name,
Was it not worth a little hour or more
To add yet this: Once you, a woman, came
To soothe a time-torn man; even though it be
You love not me.

The poem is an excellent example of a man with a terrible disappointment over the unkept appointment. All his feelings seem to come to the forefront and he starts to question himself. And also Kevin Straw wrote this opinion last year, and he never said it was not a good poem, he just thought Hardy's approach was clumsy. At least it was an honorable and honest opinion. Unlike others who can't seem to come up with their own. (Report) Reply

There is something clumsy about Hardy's style:

That high compassion which can overbear
Reluctance for pure lovingkindness' sake
Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum,
You did not come.'
E.G. 'Grieved I' comes much too late. Also is 'thus' right? He makes it refer to the substance of what he found, when it should refer to the manner of his finding. (Report) Reply

Deep poem; I just see, a disillusioned man with broken pieces of life. Never really connecting in life's trials. Yet, the heart of a woman to place compassion, as a band-aid upon the pieces. Hoping a few will stick together on the band-aids adhesive (Report) Reply
Michael Pruchnicki (5/12/2008 11:28:00 AM)
Some of the comments posted here puzzle this reader, but that's
the nature of the beast, I guess. Consider that Hardy wrote in the 19th century
when certain theories about the nature of life were prominent. One theory
that Hardy espoused and wrote about in both his poetry and in his novels
was the tragic nature of human life. The cards are stacked against us from
birth to death, and the sad fate of his characters bears that point of view out
to the nth degree. 'A Broken Appointment' has been dismissed by some
as much ado about nothing- some woman stood him up, so get over it, man!
She did not make the appointment, though he waited patiently for hours on end.
The speaker grieved that she demonstrated such a lack of compassion for
a man in his straits - a time-torn man at the end of his rope! He recognizes
that she doesn't love him, not even in the kind way one human being cares
for another mortal being in distress. There are actions that one can take to
alleviate the suffering of a time-torn man (or woman!) that are divine. Recall
that Hardy was not a believer in a divine being, but he believed that one has
a duty to respond to the down-and-out (just a little hour or more!) .
What vodka and water have to do with Hardy's poem is beyond me, I admit!

I love Thomas Hardy poems, enough to memorize this one and also 'Neutral Tones' & 'I look into my glass'. He strikes a deep chord of sympathy in me, it is like I have felt what he is so gifted in expressing; the bitter disappointment in a beloved that 'you love not me'. As I meditate on his poems I see a familiar (because I see it in me) stain of sin, a recurring thread of selfishness, bitterness and vindictiveness running through his powerful prose. Consider, posterity will never know why the appointment was broken, or, in 'Neutral Tones' why the lady grew disenchanted with him, or why no one is paying close attention to his "throbbings of noontide" ("I look into my glass") but Hardy does not hesitate to repeatedly use his power to create a form of artwork that he knows will damn his subject for the ages. If Hardy was as broody and melancholy in person as his poetry suggests, I can very easily imagine a young fan, initially thrilled at meeting him, becoming more and more disinclined to continue her association with someone who turns out to be an introspective boor, even if the introspective boor is a 'Great Man'. I think Thomas Hardy has the gift of eloquently describing what almost all of us have experienced at one time or another; the painful recognition that someone we have grown to delight in has come into our lives, gotten to know us and has chosen to leave us. We do this to great poets, and our creator, Jesus Christ, to our eternal peril. (Report) Reply

Gary Witt (1/26/2007 5:54:00 PM)
The poem is an unfortunate relic of an era long past when people actually expected more from each other, by way of "lovingkindness." Standards of behavior were different. Politeness and respect were important, at least in the circles in which Mr. Hardy traveled. When men and women made a promise it meant something. Let's not forget the title of the poem is "A Broken Appointment." The woman said she would be there. It is unclear what else she may have told the man, but he was convinced she would come. IMHO, the man is not only disappointed at the lack of compassion demonstrated by the woman, but even more fundamental than that, her lack of honor. The fact that he criticizes her for a lack of compassion is a result of his own desire to extend respect to her. Far more polite, far more respectful, to criticize her for not being an angel, than for the fact that she lacks honor. Yet, through the text, a 19th century reader would know. He or she would know. And the condemnation would be stinging.
The fact that many of today's readers have lost touch with the context of this poem deeply saddens me. (Report) Reply
Robert Krieckhaus (10/21/2006 4:43:00 PM)
THANKS for the observation, Tim. (They've got it now.) I find the poem rueful, all right, but a bit silly for a grown man. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't Willem right? I mean, so he got stood up. She doesn't love him. Did he really expect her to come to soothe him just out of a compassion divine in all but name? Or, in any case, how can he reproach her for not rising to such a height? Or would that be so grand a height? And he says he grieved more for her than himself. Hmfph. And this from the author of Tess and Jude! ! Thomas, this is stupid stuff, is what I say. Well, I hope I'm not missing the poem entirely. (Report) Reply
Tim Peltason (3/7/2006 8:44:00 PM)
The first and last lines of the second stanza should read, 'You love not me, ' rather than 'You love me not.' They're meant to rhyme with what follows-'You love not me/And love alone can lend you loyalty'-and with what precedes-'Even though it be/You love not me.' A wonderful and rueful poem-but missing some of its rough music until this error is corrected. (Report) Reply
Willem VanVoorthuysen (5/12/2005 9:23:00 PM)
Clear message and fairly concisely written, but what else should a 'time-torn' man expect from a woman, other than kind compassion? : What does he have to offer?
I do like the ironic, introspective approach to stating his problrm.

|Rafflesia (1)
The dramatic Rafflesia flowers are the largest single flowers in the world; the leathery petals can reach over 90 centimetres across (2). Rafflesia is a parasite that depends completely upon its host; the majority of the plant's tissues exist as thread-like strands entirely within the host's cells (3). These host plants are vines of Tetrastigma spp., and the Rafflesia plant is itself not visible until the reproduction stage when flowers first bud through the woody vine and then open into the magnificent spectacle that is world-renowned today (4). The flowers can take up to ten months to develop from the first visible bud to the open bloom, which may last no more than a few days (5). Currently 17 species of Rafflesia are recognised and these mainly differ in the morphology of their flowers (4). In general however, the flowers consist of five leathery petals that are orange in colour and mottled with cream-coloured warts (2). There is a deep well in the centre of the flower containing a central raised disc raised that supports many vertical spines (2). The sexual organs are located beneath the rim of the disk, and male and female flowers are separate (2).
The enormous Rafflesia flowers are believed to be pollinated by flies; alighting on the central disk flies crawl underneath it where they come into contact with the sexual organs (2). It has been reported that the flowers have a strong smell of rotting flesh but it is unclear whether this acts to attract flies or is merely a by-product of the decaying petals, which reduce into a black slimy mess after around four days (2).
Rafflesia plants are specialist parasites only found in association with specific species of the host vine Tetrastigma spp. These vines are found in both primary and secondary rainforest (4).
Rafflesia azlanii has not yet been assessed by the IUCN Red List.
Rafflesia are inherently rare as a result of a number of factors of their life cycle; they have a double habitat specialisation, as they can only successfully parasitise particular species and these species in turn are found only in specific habitats (4). In addition to this factor, there is an extremely unbalanced sex ratio in the Rafflesia flowers observed, with many more male than female flowers (4). Flower buds have a high level of mortality and only 10 to 18 percent go on to bloom, these only lasting for a few days; the chances of a male and female flower being in bloom at the same time in a close enough vicinity to be pollinated is therefore extremely slim (4). In addition to these inherent factors, there is widespread habitat destruction within much of the rainforested area of Southeast Asia and Rafflesia buds are also collected for traditional medicine, to treat fertility problems, in parts of their range (5).
Rafflesia species are protected in a number of reserves within their range such as Kinabalu Park in Sabah on the island of Borneo (6). Habitat protection is one of the key factors in securing the future of this species and this magnificent flower is a huge draw to tourists, bringing much needed revenue to the area. More investigation into the life cycle of this unusual species is urgently needed to enable propagation and ex-situ conservation measures (3). Recent success in propagating R. keithii is an encouraging step forward in the preservation for future generations of one of the world's most astonishing plant species (4).

An elegant presence in a dark suit with tie neatly knotted, he reclined with eyes closed, hands clasped. His face was still boyishly handsome at 57 under the sweep of silver hair. My father rested in his open casket, and as I stood alone in the funeral home room, I at last understood the clich of the crushing weight of grief.
Moments later face after friendly face poured into the room, smiling encouragingly at me, touching my arm, murmuring words of support, sharing memories. Physically I felt as if I had been lying, flattened by sorrow, on a bedsheet, and all the friends and relatives around me had grabbed the edges and lifted me up. As the days and weeks passed, members of my healing human network—at home, at holiday gatherings, during the commute, at work, at the gym—bolstered my spirits.
And so it is with all of us, as social psychologist Jolanda Jetten and her colleagues reveal in our cover story, "The Social Cure." As studies show, being part of many social groups fosters resilience, giving us the strength to get through hardships such as job loss, a move or other challenging life events. What is more, social groups promote better cognition and physical health. So go ahead and take the time for your bridge club, golf foursome, lunch date or other seemingly guilty social pleasure—and know that you're actually making yourself mentally healthier.
For the millions who suffer from chronic pain, a return to full health can feel like an elusive dream. While an ache normally serves the useful purpose of warning us away from further injury, chronic pain doesn't ebb when the wound is gone. Now new insights into the mechanisms behind the condition may at last help us control that formidable tormentor. In a special section of three feature articles, you will learn how pain can become lasting, how psychology influences our perception of it and why some people are more (or less) susceptible. As the articles show, a feeling of reward can have an analgesic effect. Does that mean the pleasure gained from learning about how the mind works can count? It doesn't hurt to try.
Note: This article was originally printed with the title, "Social Saviors."

I also got my scholarship upped and will now be attending Brooklyn Law School. I'm very excited. I just wish I didn't already put $750 down at St. John's.
Brooklyn still hasn't given me an answer. I was put on hold for ten minutes and disconnected to learn that my application was still in commitee. The same as it was months ago. And the St. Johns deposit is due Friday for me.
Rumor has it that BLS got ALOT less acceptances than they expected and are in a bit of a scramble to fill their 1L class. Your HUGE increase in scholarship money supports that rumor... I wonder if this is a sign of the alleged 'smaller applicant pool' law schools are seeing this year?RobPS: Congrats on BLS... did you visit the school yet?
Do make sure to visit the school before making any sort of commitment. My visits to the few schools I was considering made me decide not to apply to BLS and to focus strongly on St John's. Of course, as a PT, non-trad, what I consider important may be different than other people... how comfortable I felt at the school is important, and I didn't feel comfortable at BLS. Just my experience, for what it's worth...Rob

Nederland man arrested for homicide
According to a press release from the Nederland Police Department, officers arrested 26-year-old Nederland resident Joseph Garrett Arredondo on Wednesday, April 10, in relation to the homicide of his mother, 55-year-old Hollie Ann Arredondo, also of Nederland.
Nederland Police Chief Darrell Bush said NPD received a call at approximately 5:09 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, from a counselor with the Spindletop Center, formerly Spindletop MHMR, crisis hotline. The man reportedly told police he received a call from Hollie Arredondo who said her son, Joseph, was trying to break down the door to gain entry into her home. While the counselor was speaking with the woman, he reported to police that he heard a loud noise he believed to be the door being broken down and the connection was abruptly interrupted. Before calling police, the man looked up the caller's address in his database, apparently having information on file for her. He gave police the address 191 Hill Terrace, but Chief Bush said when they arrived there, there was no disturbance. Police were able to ascertain the correct address for Hollie Arredondo was 1516 S. 27th Street in Nederland, the Hillcrest Apartments, and headed toward the residence.
"We arrived there," Chief Bush said. "I saw and recognized the suspect, Joseph Arredondo, standing out in the parking lot. They (officers) approached him, talked to him, and detained him. While they were speaking with him, they observed that the back door of the apartment was standing open and appeared to have been broken into. One of the officers detained Mr. Arredondo while the other entered the premises. He found Ms. Arredondo deceased on the floor from what appeared to be gunshot wounds. At that time, Mr. Arredondo was taken into custody. Upon searching him, they discovered a 9mm pistol in his pants."
Chief Bush said seven gunshots were fired inside the house, six of those apparently striking Hollie Arredondo and killing her according to preliminary autopsy results from the morning of Thursday, April 11. No motive has been ascertained, and Bush said the suspect is not cooperating. He said he is not able to speculate regarding any potential mental illness from which Joseph Arredondo may have suffered or why Hollie Arredondo called the Spindletop Center rather than police. Joseph Arredondo is currently being held in the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on a $2 million bond, and capital murder charges are expected to be filed against him for the killing of his mother, according to Chief Bush.

I bought a new computer last week. I'm not typing this column on it. No, I'm using my old computer, because my new one is so thoroughly lacking. I haven't decided whether to return it, but I'm thinking about it.
The computer I am typing on now is the same brand as the one I just bought new. The difference is that this one came with all the programs I need. The new one did not, but according to the packaging, it had the type programs I need. As I try to do simple tasks, I discover that the new computer does not have the programs which this old one arrived with when I got it five years ago. Simple programs, such as for editing photos.
You would think any modern photo program would come with a functioning photo editing system. When you buy a car, you don't have to ask "does that come with the tires, or will you ask me to buy those when I get ready to drive this thing off the lot?"
The main reason I bought a new computer is because this one has slowed down, developed tics and other problems, and Lord only knows why. I've had what is supposed to be good virus protection on it the entire time. I've run all sorts of programs designed to identify and remove malware, viruses, and other problems. I assiduously monitor such things and act on any indication of a need for action. But, alas, computers are not made to last. They seem to have a life expectancy of no more than a few years.
For all the glory the modern home computer has received, by the standards of other consumer products, such computers simply do not measure up. We expect our cars and our home appliances to perform relatively trouble free for much longer than we expect of our computers. Try owning a computer for ten years that has never broken down or otherwise simply stopped working.
Can you imagine having your car shut down once a day just because it gets the urge to do so? We live with computers which do it all the time. Computers are great when they're working right, but often they seem like machines possessed of some malevolent spirit set on doing us wrong.
I'll probably try to figure out - with expert assistance - which programs I need to buy so that my new computer is as good as my old one, but faster. I'll go cough up the extra money, in spite of the fact that this new one was supposed to have all the programs already loaded and working.
How can the photo program have a glitch which sends photos to the recycle bin when I never told it to do that? The new computer deleted a number of my photos for no reason at all. The glitch did it by itself. I didn't realize it until the photos were gone and I caught the machine sending perfectly good photos to the recycle bin after I had merely advanced to the next photo.
I dread returning the computer, if that's what I have to do. Explaining that a program for photos is malfunctioning is like taking a car back to the dealer and saying "every time I turn on the windshield wipers, the radio comes on."
Why are we so accepting of computers that do not measure up, even when they're new? I have bought two of this particular brand, and dude, I'm not getting another one.

Current Theme Song (aka what's playing on my ipod right now): Rainy Day by Coldplay.
I am making this short and simple. Because you are utterly-and-fantastically-awesome-so-much-that-I-might-hyperventialate-and-pass-out-if-you-were-any-more-awesome, I want to celebrate and have my promised dance party. Don't worry, if you don't feel like moving your booty with me, I will do enough dancing for all of us. This manuscript whooped my butt hard (and I'm still beating it into a pulpy submission). For those not wanting to dance, you may eat cupcakes. They are over there in the corner. And why yes, I did hand paint them all myself to your exact likeness. There are also Faberge eggs as party gifts. Puppies are inside.
But I also promised a contest, and a contest I will give you. How does a personalized copy of any book signed by the one and only Neal Shusterman sound?
This dude has written more books than I can shake a stick at. One of his best known is Unwind, but Everlost just finished its trilogy and is being made into a movie. Of course there is also The Schwa was Here, Bruiser, The Shadow Club,...
And one of them is waiting for YOU.
I will crawl through trenches, dive through hordes of people, all to get you a signed, personalized copy of your very own. With anything you want said in there (within reason). I'll try my darndest, at least. So you if you want him to say "Were-llamas are awesome" or "may the F x A be with you" I will give him my biggest eyes to let it be so.
All you have to do is comment below by Monday October 3rd 2011 11:59 EST. (sadly, not open internationally this time).
I cannot guarantee which books will be there (Unwind is almost sure to be there, as well as the newest Everlost), but if you have a preference, feel free to state it in the comments below and I will try to get it for you.
Thank you for being amazing!

I wish some of these signing events would come my way...oh, well.
I thought Everlost was really cool, but the Chocolate Ogre kinda horrified me. I would hate to have chocolate on my face for the rest of time! How embarrassing!
My choice would be of Everwild (since I haven't read it yet) or Unwind. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

Laughing in the garden
It's the second day of the CC Designs previews and I hope you are ready to Laugh. ;)
If you ask me, it's about time that we got a new addition to the Laugh line of stamps at ATS. I love their quirky cuteness and this new Garden Laugh girlie certainly fits that bill. She is just darling in her over-alls and rubber boots which is much more stylin' than I ever look while I'm out in the garden, LOL! With that great outfit of hers I really wanted to pull in more of that denim look on my card so right away I grabbed up the MME On the Bright Side paper pad. Not only did it give me the denim look that I was going for but I also loved the rainbow bright chevron print with Garden Laugh as well... it's bright and happy just like she is. Then I finished everything off with some accent stamps from an old Oriental Trading set that I've had for years. There is something about those little pots that I just love to color.
Now don't forget that all of the new stamps will be available Friday, April 6th in the All That Scraps store. Until then, you will want to be sure and check out the ATS blog each day for plenty of chances to win!
Toodles! :)
Supply list:

Enjoy the Best Views of the Dec. 9 Manhattan Beach Fireworks -- and a Five-course Gourmet Dinner
Even before you get your Thanksgiving feast under your belt, you may want to think about calling The Strand House to reserve a seat for its special five-course Holiday Fireworks Dinner on Sunday, December 9 -- and dial yourself in for a prime view of Manhattan Beach's annual fireworks extravaganza.
In addition to enjoying a sublime view of the Holiday Fireworks by the pier, Executive Creative Chef Neal Fraser and Executive Chef Greg Hozinsky have created a decadent five-course feast to welcome the winter holidays.
"Our annual Holiday Fireworks is such a wonderful tradition in Manhattan Beach and with our stunning vantage point and floor-to-ceiling windows here, at the foot of the Manhattan Beach Pier, we thought we would kick the celebration up a notch -- and match the view of the fireworks with a stellar culinary display of our own," said Owner Michael Zislis.
Guests will enjoy an amusé of Ricotta and Sweet Potato Fritter, followed by their second-course choice of Sunchocke Veloute with herb crouton, Vegetables a la Grecque, or Smoked Whitefish Napoleon with herbed crème fraiche.
Hand-cut Tagliatelle with mushroom ragout will lead off the third-course, followed by guests' choice of Duo of Beef (prime tenderloin and braised short rib), John Dory, Pan-roasted Jidori Chicken Breast, or BBQ Tofu.
Dessert choices include Crispy Waffle with salted maple ice cream and stewed apples, Chocolate "Crunch" flourless chocolate cake, or an Ice Cream Trio of pumpkin pie, pistachio and stracciatella gelato, followed by choice of press coffee or herbal tea and a petit four.
The cost of the dinner is $95 per person, excluding beverages not listed, taxes and gratuity. Seating is limited and advance reservations are required. The Strand House is located at 117 Manhattan Beach Boulevard, in Manhattan Beach. For reservations and details, call 310.545.7470. Or go to www.thestrandhousemb.com.

How To Green Clean the Grout In Your Bathroom
Grout is no fun. The word even sounds unhappy. And the bright white stuff shows Every. Little. Blemish. It's porous, hard to get to, easily stains—the list goes on. But fret not, here we have it: some helpful tips to make your least favorite chore a little more bearable.
What You Need
- Baking Soda
- Vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
- Spray bottle
- Grout brush or scrub brush (a toothbrush works as well!)
- Small bowl
Step 1: Start with vinegar.
Fill your spray bottle with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water and spray the work area generously. Let the solution sit for about five minutes, then follow up with a grout brush or a scrub brush. If you don't have one of these, a toothbrush works in a pinch. Rinse with warm water.
Step 2: Add baking soda.
In a small bowl, make a paste with baking soda and water. Dip your toothbrush or grout brush in the paste and work it into the grout. Spray the area with your vinegar + water solution. The vinegar will cause the baking soda to bubble up and will start to work away that nasty soap scum. Use your brush and get all the way into the grout lines to remove buildup. Rinse with warm water.
Got really tough grout stains? Try hydrogen peroxide:
If you've got visible stains, mold or mildewed grout, hydrogen peroxide is a game changer. Spray it on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes then go to work on it with your scrub brush of choice. You might have to repeat this step a few times if you've got a tough stain. If repeated efforts still aren't making the stain disappear, try making a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide paste. Apply the paste to the grout lines, let sit, scrub and rinse with warm water.
Here's how to keep your grout looking good:
The best way to save yourself from the dreaded grout scrubbing experience? Spray down your shower with a 1:1 vinegar and water mix before you get out of the shower. Clearly label a spray bottle "Shower Spray" (set it up high, out of the reach of kids if that's an option) and keep it in the shower. You don't have to spray religiously; 2-3 times each week will make a major difference and you'll find yourself four inches away from your shower walls a lot less often!
Note: I found my hydrogen peroxide in a super handy spray bottle at Walgreens and keep it in my cleaning bucket. It was a bit more expensive than a regular ol' screw top bottle, but it's so convenient I find myself using it in place of other not so green cleaners—and THAT is worth it to me! I keep larger bottles on hand to refill it after it's run out.

It's Not Always About the Main Character
Despite the common misconception, not all stories revolve solely on the main character. Sometimes, it's about the supporting characters, too. Take the popular series Harry Potter, for example. Though the whole series revolves on the thoughts and experiences of a particular main character named Harry Potter and his friends as well as their battle against the evil Voldemort, we realize towards the end of it that Snape, the seemingly antagonist character in the series, is perhaps the main character after all. Despite being behind the storyline all throughout the seven books, Snape's character has done invaluable help in furthering the plot of the series. Despite being hated by fans, they realized in the end that he was an indispensable character. We pitied him for his sacrifices and respected him for his efforts, recognizing that perhaps he was a main character worthy of his own story, too. Let's take The Lord of the Rings Trilogy as another example. Here, we assume that either Sauron the ""Lord of the Rings"" or Frodo the ring-bearer is the main character of the trilogy. Personally, I think that either the ring itself or Smeagol, also named Gollum, is the main character. The ring, being naturally evil, only answers his master. A Fellowship composing different races in Middle Earth is formed for the sole purpose of destroying it, even resulting to the death of some. The plot starts and ends with the creation and destruction of the ring. It has spanned hundreds of years and has seen a number of owners, one of which is Gollum. Gollum can also be a main character in his own worth. He has lived because of, and for the, ring. It was thanks to Gollum that the ring came to Bilbo, who passed it to Frodo. After their long journey across Middle Earth, the ring-bearer hesitates moments before throwing the ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Again, it was thanks to Gollum that the ring was eventually destroyed. In these two popular literature of the generation by J.K. Rowling and J.R.R. Tolkien, we have seen how not all stories are about the main characters themselves. Sometimes, supporting characters are main characters on their own rights. After all, everyone is the main character of their own story.

Travel: No Northern line Tube service through central London this weekend due to engineering works
PUBLISHED: 12:45 17 January 2014
PA Archive/Press Association Images
There will be no Northern line trains running through central London this weekend as part of the planned engineering works programme, while work on three other lines will also affect services.
Northern line trains will not run between Angel and Stockwell on the Bank branch, nor between Euston and Stockwell on the Charing Cross branch all weekend, to allow for testing of new signalling.
The Waterloo & City line will run extended hours on Sunday, from 10am to 8pm, in a bid to mitigate the disruption.
On the District line on Sunday there will be no service between Turnham Green and Richmond due to Network Rail engineering work, and on the Metropolitan line, trains will not run between Wembley Park and Northwood/Uxbridge all weekend for track replacement work at Preston Road and Ruislip. Piccadilly line trains will not run between South Harrow and Uxbridge for the same reason.
On the London Overground on Sunday, there is no service between Willesden Junction and Richmond, nor between Clapham Junction and Kensington (Olympia), to allow for work on Chiswick bridge.

Kiwanis clubs around the world make dolls for children in hospitals. Few are likely prepared to ship them halfway across the globe. Despite the financial cost associated with their passion, Kiwanis-family members around the Michigan District have shown a multi-year commitment to mailing their colorful dolls to countries around the African continent.
As a means to build on a partnership program between clubs in sub-Saharan Africa and the United States, one Michigan Kiwanian's work in sewing dolls and dresses was expanded throughout the district. The grandmother of a five-year-old who underwent open heart surgery with a trauma doll by his side, Pat Kiroff knew firsthand the impact of giving something comforting to a child, whether because they were ill or simply in need of something to call their own. While serving as the district's Young Children: Priority One chairwoman, she put out a call for dolls similar to the many already being constructed for children's hospitals, and the project spread like wildfire. Forty-four clubs—including Aktion Clubs, Key Clubs and CKI Clubs—made more than 1,200 dolls for the first distribution area: Kenya.
Fabricating the dolls was just the beginning. Rachelle Strawther-Okumu, a Kisumu, Kenya, Kiwanian working with the Kisumu Youth Football Association, was coordinating a volunteering mission in Kenya with a British football club when she learned of an opportunity too good to resist.
"They had fundraised a serious amount of money to bring over donated items and were planning on shipping everything," Strawther-Okumu says. We emailed them about the possibility of including the dolls."
To get them to the United Kingdom, one Michigan Kiwanian's shipping connections proved invaluable.
Once the dolls arrived in Kenya, members of the Kisumu Kiwanis Club distributed them, along with some fruit, to child patients at the provincial and district hospitals.
"Although the facilities have improved tremendously over the years, it's still heart-breaking to see so many cases of malaria, HIV, cancer, etc.," Strawther-Okumu reflects. "While the dolls cannot cure the children of their illnesses or change their circumstances, they certainly make their eyes light up and give them joy."
The total of dolls produced by the Michigan District has crossed the 5,000 mark, with another 1,200 dolls being made for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, nearly 1,800 for Nigeria and 400 for South Africa, again using shipping connections to have the mailing costs waived or reduced. Although Kiroff's heart is set on continuing the project indefinitely with a primary focus on Africa, she isn't opposed to requests for dolls to other countries. One hundred were taken to Nicaragua by a church group.
"I feel that even if one child will smile when they receive a doll, then I have achieved my goal. This is to give them something of their own to hold and play with happily," says Kiroff. —Courtney Meyer

IT teams tasked with keeping the business informed have expended vast resources defining a methodical, painstaking BI system development life cycle that typically goes something like this: Gather requirements from business users. Design a data model to support those requirements. Scout out data sources. Load all that data into a starlike schema. Develop BI objects. Roll out the final product to end users.
Unfortunately, the quest to achieve perfection often results in anything but ideal results. We've focused on creating the perfect factory and assumed that once we had that, it would automatically produce the perfect product. The problem is, when it comes to BI, perfection is all about context. What was considered ideal back during the requirements process isn't so great now. Is it the business user's fault that the context changed? Clearly not, but the fact is, just as companies need to be agile to succeed, the process by which we deliver BI analytics also needs flexibility baked in.
BI agility is achievable. BI perfection is not.
Below we outline five elements that together promote an agile enterprise BI environment. We delve deeper into this topic in our full report, at informationweek.com/analytics/agilebi.
1. Agile Development
Typical data warehousing development cycles are black holes. We've seen it take months for business users to have their analytical needs transformed into operating reports that show meaningful data. We clearly need dramatic improvement.
At the highest level, common development methodologies such as Scrum and Extreme Programming are being applied to the problem. The basic underlying premise is the need for an agile, iterative process that shortens development cycles and speeds time to market for BI requests. There's no reason you can't deliver value to end users in weeks--or even days or hours--rather than months. An agile methodology can fundamentally change how your users perceive the value of BI services in a positive way.
2. Agile Project Management
Agile development requires agile project management. In a conventional hierarchical process, planning is done at the beginning of the process and often results in unwieldy, 100,000-line work schedules. In contrast, agile project management focuses on a continuous planning, execution, and feedback loop in which:
>> Planning is done at the beginning of each cycle, rather than once.
>> "Lessons learned" sessions are done at the end of each cycle, not just at the end of the project.
>> Scope can be changed during development--yes, agile allows and, to some extent, even welcomes scope creep and manages it by reprioritizing deliverables.
Agile project management delivers great benefits to both IT and the business. Requirements are precise and clear. The risk of underdelivering is reduced, as each cycle delivers new sets of usable functionality. Quality becomes part of development as bugs are discovered and fixed early.
But what about the project management office? Can you really bypass the review cycles, scrutiny, and official sign-offs? At the end of the day, what really matters is the return on investment, which tends to be greater when agile practices are leveraged because the results are aligned more closely with business needs--something users can continually confirm. Agile project management takes the monolithic and structured documentation and approval approach and skins it to the bare essentials: Single-page charters and verbal sign-offs after demos are good enough.

Driver for cards from Matrix:Vendor-AudioScience

Introduction for AudioScience ASIxxxx soundcard
There are two ways of getting Linux drivers to work, you can either compile them into the kernel or build them separately as modules. Read the Kernel-HOWTO for details of how to compile a kernel.
You must turn on the sound support soundcore module. This is in the kernel. Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be the first option. Most people enable the module setting. That way you can load and unload the module manually if you have multiple soundcards/devices or if you intend to debug or use cutting edge software which may cause your drivers to halt sometimes. Of course it also means you have more control of your system.
Most modern distros come with soundcore compiled as a module. You can check this in numerous ways. The easiest way is to type:
modinfo soundcore
If this command returns that you have this module, then you don't need to recompile your kernel.
Quick installation
This explains how to build from source tarballs. See GIT_Server for instructions on getting and using the latest source from git repositories.
Type the following commands in the shell of your choice.
Make a directory to store the alsa source code in:
cd /usr/src mkdir alsa cd alsa cp /downloads/alsa-* .
Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package:
bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx cd alsa-driver-xxx ./configure --with-cards=asihpi --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-lib package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-lib-xxx tar -xf alsa-lib-xxx cd alsa-lib-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-firmware package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-firmware-xxx tar -xf alsa-firmware-xxx cd alsa-firmware-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now unzip and install the alsa-utils package:
cd .. bunzip2 alsa-utils-xxx tar -xf alsa-utils-xxx cd alsa-utils-xxx ./configure ; make ; make install
Now insert the modules into the kernel:
modprobe snd-asihpi ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss
Now adjust your soundcard's volume levels. All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package. Note that some usb-audio devices do not have internal mixer controls. Run:
You can also look at the utils/alsasound file. This script is designed for the RedHat Linux distribution, but it can also be used with other distributions which use System V style rc init scripts. This will allow you to load your modules at boot time. If you don't want to do this you can of course compile them into the kernel instead and save yourself the hassle of coming to terms with the rc init scripts.
Setting up modprobe and kmod support
Before you send a mail complaining that "I don't have /etc/modules.conf, where do I find it ……" ‒ the /etc/conf.modules has been deprecated with a few distro's, but in your case it may still be /etc/conf.modules. Basically they are both the same, but recent version of modutils use /etc/modules.conf instead. Nothing to worry about as such, optionally please update to the latest version of modutils. This should solve your problem.
Here's the example for this card. Copy and paste this to the bottom of your /etc/modules.conf file.
Debian GNU/Linux users need to save this information into a file in the /etc/modutils/ directory (eg. /etc/modutils/alsa) and run update-modules.
Note also that the kernel module soundcore has been renamed in Debian kernels >2.6.23 into snd. A workaround is to put a symlink at /lib/modules/x.x.xx/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko pointing to snd.ko
Systemd users need to save this information into a file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory terminating with .conf (eg. /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf).
In case of modules auto-loading instead, the module name must be inserted in a file in the/etc/modules-load.d/ directory terminating with .conf (eg. /etc/modules-load.d/alsa.conf).
# ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-asihpi # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
To copy and paste the above to your /etc/modules.conf file follow these instructions.
This is a short explanation of what happens in the /etc/modules.conf file.
Native devices
After the main multiplexer is loaded, its code automatically requests the top level sound card module. String snd-card-%i is requested for native devices where %i is the sound card number, counted from zero (the first sound card) to seven (the eighth sound card). String sound-slot-%i is requested for native devices where %i is slot number for the corresponding ALSA owner (which is basically the sound card number). The options line allows you to set various configuration options before the module is loaded. String id (or snd_id) lets you set the name of the card which is then returned in the /proc/asound/cards file, i.e. to user space applications. Other options may be available depending on the specific card. Options for these cards are found in the INSTALL file or above.
username@hostname# pico /etc/modules.conf # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-cmipci options snd-cmipci id="first" mpu_port=0x330 # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
For drivers older than 0.9.0rc5 use:
options snd-cmipci snd_id="first" snd_mpu_port=0x330
The "snd_" prefix has been removed from the module options to fit with the kernel standard.
Autoloading OSS/free emulation
At this point we are finished with the configuration for ALSA native devices, but you may also need autoloading for the OSS/Free emulation modules, an ALSA add-on. At this time only one module does not depend on any others, thus must be loaded separately: snd-pcm1-oss. String sound-service-%i-%i is required for OSS/Free service where the first %i is the slot number/sound card number and the second %i is the service number.
username@hostname# pico /etc/modules.conf # OSS/Free portion - card #1 alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # OSS/Free portion - card #2 (cmipci) alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
The alias for snd-seq-oss is not necessary on the second device, because there is only one /dev/sequencer regardless how many devices you have.
The .asoundrc file
This file allows you to have more advanced control over your card/device. For most setups the default, system-wide configuration is sufficient. You may change this file only for special setup. The .asoundrc file consists of definitions for the various sound devices available in your system. It also provides access to the pcm plugins in alsa-lib. These allow you to do tricky things like combine your cards into one or access multiple I/O streams on your multi-channel card.
Below is the most basic definition (only example - not required to define at all).
Make a file called .asoundrc in your home and/or root directory:
vi ~/.asoundrc
Copy and paste the following into the file, then save it:
pcm.asihpi { type hw card 0 } ctl.asihpi { type hw card 0 }
Software volume control
If your card doesn't have hardware volume control (e. g. Asus Xonar XD/XDG), you might want to create software Master control. Edit .asoundrc as follows.
pcm.softvol { type softvol slave { pcm "dmix" } control { name "Master" card 0 } } pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "softvol" }
Restart alsa, then open a music player, play a file and close the player. Then check alsamixer, as you should have a Master volume control. Note that this control doesn't have a mute option.

Additional Installation notes
The asihpi driver is not yet in the official kernel part of ALSA, so must be built from source.
In addition to the alsa-driver source package, the matching alsa-firmware package must be downloaded, and run "make install" in the asihpi subdirectory.
If you have installed the hpklinux driver available from website, you will end up with two different drivers that can claim the cards. To avoid unexpected behaviour, either remove one of the drivers or blacklist one or both E.g add "blacklist asihpi" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. If both drivers are blacklisted, it is still possible to load either of them manually using modprobe.
Also you need to take care that incompatible firmware is not installed. In this case, it is recommended to rebuild the alsa driver using source from the hpklinux package (see that package for instructions).
Card indices
AudioScience cards have a hardware jumper to specify the card index. This ensures that cards keep the same index even if they are moved between slots, or other cards are added.
The driver will try to make ALSA card indices match the card jumper settings. This may fail if another card (onboard sound) is present and has already claimed a desired index. The cards will still work, but have unexpected indices.
By default the card name shown by ALSA will be the card model eg "ASI6644"
PCM streams
AudioScience cards support multiple streams (PCMs). These are exposed as ALSA substreams of device 0. I.e. hw:0,0,0 hw:0,0,1 etc.
The reason the driver doesn't map streams to ALSA devices is that there is a limit of four devices per card, and some cards have up to 16 streams.
Streams do not correspond to physical inputs and outputs, see Mixer section for more on this.
- mixer controls, rationale for indexing
- control names
- setting card master samplerate
Linked streams
which cards support HW linking, what to put in asoundrc
Capabilities and limitations
- HPI ioctl provided in addition to ALSA interface
- No support for compressed formats, though card supports them
- Limited use of large on card buffers

Students Dropping Out Of School To Pay RIAA Settlement Fees?
from the educational-campaign,-huh? dept
However, if it is true, it would be interesting to hear from some of those students, and to see how the RIAA responds to the situation. No matter how much you might think the RIAA is right to enforce copyright law against students, I'm curious to see if anyone can reasonably defend encouraging a student to drop out of college just to pay off such a fine. The punishment seems way out of line with the "crime."

DANVILLE, Ky.—The Birmingham-Southern men's tennis team finished out the regular season this weekend with a split on the road, falling to Sewanee on Saturday, 7-2, but defeating Centre today, 5-0.
The Panthers move to 10-4 overall and 4-2 in the Southern Athletic Association.
On Saturday, BSC's two points against the Tigers came in singles action, with junior Brian Brandt winning at two and junior Ben Reardon winning at six. At four singles, freshman Alex Makarenko suffered his first loss of the season, as did Brandt and Reardon at three doubles. In the win against Centre, BSC won all three doubles points and two singles points, with the rest going unfinished. Seniors Christian Matthews and Tony DaMaia won at one doubles, moving to 6-6, while sophomore Patrick Hire and Makarenko won at two doubles to move to 11-2 on the season. Brandt and Reardon teamed up at three doubles to win and move to 11-1. DaMaia and Reardon were responsible for BSC's two singles points, winning at five and six. DaMaia moves to 6-3 and Reardon moves to 11-3.
The teams are back in action in two weeks at the 2014 SAA Championship, April 25-27 in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

By 1812, Dr. Burel, who had now anglicized his name to John Burel, had moved his family to Union County, South Carolina, where they settled in Goshen Hill. Little is known about why and how the family migrated to South Carolina, but like so many others during the early 1800's, John Burel may have gone to South Carolina to claim land opened up by the U. S. government for settlement. Union County, South Carolina deed records show that John Burel was already in the county on December 2, 1812 when he sold a tract of land on the Enoree River to James Flanagan of Newberry County. Patience Hannah Burel, wife of John, released her dower rights to the land on the same day. (Union County Deed Book "N," p.94
Shortly after the Burel family's arrival in South Carolina, Louis Burel, the oldest son, married Sarah Margaret Jenkins, born about 1800, and the daughter of Deborah Elizabeth Darby and Randel Randolph Jenkins, another landowner and resident of Goshen Hill. John Burel's connection to Randolph Jenkins is evidenced in Jenkins's will, which stated that "John Burel to live where he now lives for five years from the time he went there to live he is to cultivate and clear as much land as he pleases in the coarse (sic ) of five years but not to rent or lease it to no person I do (not) nominate." In 1829, Randolph Jenkins, the son of Randolph who mentioned John Burel in his will, was appointed the administrator of the estate of John Burel. Although Dr. Burel's exact date of death and place of burial is unknown, he likely died in 1829 and was buried in Union County, South Carolina.
After their father's death, several of the Burel children sold their Union County land and moved with their families to Gwinnett County, Georgia, settling in the Hog Mountain area. Louis Burel, however, must have remained in South Carolina until at least 1840, as he was enumerated in the U. S. Census of 1840 as still living in the county.
John Burel's widow, Patience Hanna Bird Burel, was still living in the Union District of South Carolina in 1848, when she applied for a widow's pension based on Jean/John Burel's service in the Revolutionary War. In that application she declared that she "is the widw of Dr. John Burelle who was a surgeon in the French Army & Navy in America under Major General Lafayette & served in that capacity with the Allied forces from the time he entered the service in 1778 until the French Army was discharged at the close of the War, and was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to the Allied forces of France and America under General Washington and General LaFayette & other French officers at Yorktown." She enclosed a certificate of her marriage and John's French medical license, which prove that Jean Baptiste Elzeard Burel of Ollioules Frances and John Burel of Goshen Hill were the same individual. According to those who have written about Jean Burel's life and history, the certificate and license are in the archives of the Veterans' Administration.
James P. Burel, married Nancy Elizabeth Darby, a relative of Deborah Elizabeth Darby, in 1815. Nancy was born about 1792 in South Carolina. Their children were John "Jack" Berry Burel, born 1819 in South Carolina, William Riley Burel, and Isabella Abilla Burel. Around 1848, James and his family migrated to Mississippi.
About 1834, Thomas H. Burel married Margaret Greely, born about 1811. In the 1850's, after spending some time in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Thomas and his wife, followed his brother James B. Burel, to Mississippi, where Margaret died in 1878.
Elizabeth "Betsy" Burrell, the third child born to Patience and John Burel, allegedly ran away to marry a stagecoach driver, B. B. Turner.
John Honore Burel married Vasti Darby, born about 1808, and John died on September 16, 1844 in Abbeville, South Carolina. Burel researchers have written that Vasti Darby may have been the illegitimate daughter of Deborah Darby Burel's sister, who may have been renting ahouse owned by Samuel Jenkins, who lived nearby.
Margaret Epps Burrell, was married twice, first to James Hunter about 1825. Hunter, born about 1781, died in 1846. Later that same year, she married Jesse Rogers, who was born about 1804. Rogers died about 1891, and Margaret died November 21, 1879, in Union, South Carolina.
Sometime after 1840, Louis (known also as " Lewis") and his wife, Sarah Margaret Jenkins Burel, moved to Gwinnett County, Georgia, where they operated Hog Mountain House and Trading Post, a stagecoach stop on the mail route that went through that area. Louis/Lewis Burel died in January 1872, and Sarah Jenkins Burel died in 1895. Before his death, Louis donated land to the old Hog Mountain Baptist Cemetery, near Lawrenceville, Georgia, where two of his grandchildren, Martha and Mary Teagle, who died on September 10, 1843, were among the first buried. Louis and his wife, Sarah, were later buried in the same cemetery where their young daughters had been buried years earlier.
Children of Louis Burel and Sarah Margaret Jenkins Burel were Nancy E. Burel Teagle, Sara Ann Burel Glover, John Louis Burel, Randel Jefferson Burel, Samuel Burel, Drucilla Burel Waldrop, Frances Burel, Patsey Burel, Lucy Burel Davis, Charlotte Burel Waycaster, Polly Burel Hughey, and William Burel.
Recently, I read a post on a GenWeb message board from Pat Garrison, who volunteered copies of cemetery pictures of Burel family members who were buried in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Thanks to Pat, I now have photos of Burel family grave stones located in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Beginning today, I will be posting some of these pictures on my other blog, Cemeteries of Dancing Rabbit Creek, and I invite you to stop by and view the pictures.

The new website, accessed through WWF's familiar www.panda.org portal, aims to take fishers, consumers and those simply concerned, through the whole bycatch story, from problems to proven or potential solutions.
"Bycatch costs fishers time and money," said Amanda Nickson, Head of WWF's Bycatch Initiative. "It contributes to the already critical problem of over-fishing, it jeopardizes future revenue, jobs and long-term food security.
"It is also a major killer of marine wildlife. How many more reasons do you need to change the way we fish?"
Each year, many millions of tonnes of marine animals such as turtles, whales, dolphins, sharks, and seabirds, right through to juvenile fish, corals, crabs and starfish etc are caught by modern, indiscriminate yet highly efficient fishing gear and thrown back into the water ('discarded'), dead or dying.
In the tropical shrimp trawl fisheries, for example, bycatch may outweigh the shrimp catch by 20 to 1 or more, according the UN Food and Agricultural Organization.
Much of this bycatch consists of juvenile and low-value fish which are then often discarded, usually dead. Such wastages constitute a serious mismanagement of our valuable ocean resources. In many cases, however, bycatch can be reduced with modifications to fishing gear, which according to Nickson makes "the ongoing high level of bycatch unethical".
"It's time to change - and we hope this site and the resources we've provided will help us all contribute to bycatch reduction," she said.
The new site maps where fisheries are working to reduce bycatch and includes a new searchable database that showcases bycatch solutions through fishing gear modifications. WWF, which is devoting major new resources to tackling this problem in key fisheries, is confident the new site will become an invaluable source of information for everyone, including fishers, politicians, technical experts, journalists and interested members of the public.
