I liked this book because it tells about the life of John Muir. It is a true story. My favorite part was when John walked 1000 miles south to Texas and Central America. It's my favorite part because I didn't think that anyone could walk 1000 miles.
Anyone who likes nature would like this book. If you like to go camping you should read this book so that you can learn what John Muir did to help us have a good time outdoors. First graders who read well could read this book by themselves as well as second and third graders.

In order to receive credit at Bucknell, each previous course is evaluated by the Registrar's Office to see if it is comparable to a Bucknell course in depth and scope, and applicable to the intended major. Courses in which the student has earned a grade less than C are not given credit.
Bucknell does not automatically accept two years of blanket credit for an associate degree. Courses not compatible with Bucknell's course offerings will not be credited toward a Bucknell degree. Transfer candidates are urged to consult the Bucknell University Course Catalog. Note: Individual credit evaluation is done only after a student has been admitted to Bucknell.
A student may transfer to Bucknell with no less than 15 semester hours and no more than 80 semester hours of college work. Students who have completed more than the equivalent of two and a half years of college study are not eligible for transfer to Bucknell.
Except for unique cases, first-year students should not apply for mid-year admission but should plan to complete the first year and seek sophomore admission to Bucknell.

Darienite wins dash at Highland Games
Their faces lit up, especially the younger children's, when Laurie Finkel handed out the medals to the boys, girls, men and women participating in the Round Hill Highland Games.
"It's pretty exciting to give a child a trophy," Finkel, a Stamford resident, said while under the main tent at the mansion at Cranbury Park.
A Department of Social Services worker, Finkel was volunteering for the first time after coming to watch them with her family for years. Her husband Lewis also volunteered, even though it was his 66th birthday. The pair said they were asked and they believe in helping out.
While her husband was off photographing the event, Laurie Finkel handed out awards to runners, cloggers, sack racers and stone putters and still had the awards for piping, caber tossing and tug of war to give out.
"All ages, all sizes and all shapes," she said of the people who eagerly collected their winnings. "I get to say congratulations."
Each year for the last 90, the Round Hill Highland Games have been held to celebrate the land of Alba. They typically attract more than 3,000 people from all over the country, and of course from across the sea. There were plenty of expatriated Scots in attendance still sporting Scottish brogues on Saturday.
Called games, the event features serious competitions for pipers, dancers, runners and athletes participating in the traditional sports of caber tossing, the stone put and weight over the bar. The caber toss requires contestants to balance large logs in their hands and toss them for distance. The stone and weight competitions pretty much are what they sound like, tossing heavy objects.
But the Highland Games are also about family and fun, a turn the event began to take about a decade ago, according to Margo Mattice, a Trumbull resident and president of the Round Hill Highland Games Association. This is her first year heading up the games she's volunteered at for the last 15.
"It's a big family day," she said, as hundreds of people, many clad in tartan kilts, strolled the park watching the events or buying ice cream.
Ice cream was a big seller this year.
Mattice knows how important the events for children are, having run them for the last 10 years.
And the fact that it is a big family day appears to be paying off for the group, which saw attendance increase this year, though exact figures were not available last Saturday. Mattice noted they had to use both the backup lots this year for overflow parking, while last year, they only had to open up one.
Back at the tent with Finkel, people came in to collect their awards, drop off lost items or pay fees.
Darien resident Mickey Conroy, 17, won the 440-yard dash, beating four others.
"This is a lot harder to run on," he said of the grass track. He said this event actually requires you to use tactics, unlike at a high school meet where you sprint all out. "You have to pace yourself."
Another contestant found that out the hard way, jumping out to a big lead, only to be reeled in by the other runners on the second lap.
After Finkel presented Conroy with his award, she handed out a trophy to Riley Singleton, an 8-year-old from Redding who was there with her father, Kristoffer Singleton.
Riley took the award, a soft smile on her face as she looked at it. Then she flashed an even bigger smile at her dad.
"It's our second year here," Kristoffer Singleton said. "And we won the sack race."

I don't really want anything heavy to occur in the background, though I can imagine that Kat and Becky either became closer or that the distance between them grew. And probably that Kat and Angus did some planning on overturning this matriachical tyrant-bot who holds our ship hostage.

This is my fist time participating in Adopt A Gluten Free Blogger, which was hosted by Sea of Book Of Yum . I've seen other gluten-free bloggers posting about Adopt A Gluten Free Blogger each month, but never really knew what it was. However, this month I got really excited about it because I had been adopted!! Shirley from Gluten Free Easily adopted me – I was so excited (I'm a dork I know), but this was my first adoption. Seeing as I was adopted, I decided I needed to adopt someone too so I picked Heidi from Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom. I absolutely adore and admire Heidi and hope to meet her in person someday. She has been a fantastic help, resource and encouragement to me in my own journey of being Gluten-Free. Every time I have tried her recipes I have never been disappointed. I can e-mail her anytime to ask silly questions – like today I had to ask her if I needed to add xanthan gum or not to the recipe and then realized that the all purpose flour mixture I was using already had it in there -duh, Jenny! Heidi is always willing to help, share ideas and make suggestions.
I think I found Heidi's blog about a year a go and instantly fell in love with her blog and recipes and I continually go to her blog for ideas. For my fist time participating I really wanted to look at all of her recipes and try something new. I was so torn by several of her recipes, especially her new Allergy Free Pasta Dough, but instead I decided on a soup and a dessert. It is getting a bit chilly here and fall is here in full force. The leaves are starting to change color, pumpkins and apples are in abundance and it is time to take out the sweaters, scarves and start having fires at night. I truly love this time of year and I love the food that goes along with it.
Soups have always been big in my family. My dad is a hunter and carpenter so he was always outside either working or trying to hunt for our dinners. (I just want to clarify my dad and other family members do not hunt for sport, it was a means of survival). During this time of year he would come home from work or hunting and my mom would have a huge got of soup or stew going. Even my first cooking memory is learning to make chicken soup with my grandmother. So I decided to choose one of Heidi's soups and the recipe that I kept going back to is her Sausage and Bean Ragout and the only two substitution I made to the recipe was I left out the onions because Bryan is allergic to them and I used a different gluten-free pasta. And I have to be honest, I was so caught up in football that I read the recipe wrong and instead of adding one cup of the gluten-free pasta I added the whole bag of it! Whoops – so I just added a bit more chicken stock, basil and some garlic powder and it tasted great (it tasted the same as it tasted before my whole mess up). This soup is fantastic!! Bryan loved it and we now have plenty of left overs – enough to share with our neighbors! I'll defiantly be making this again.
The very tasty finished product
Ground beef and hot sausage, browned
Next, add the garlic – and lots of it!
Add the broth, tomatoes, beans and basil
Simmer (and sneak a taste or two, it's so good)
Add the 1 CUP of pasta not 1 BAG of pasta 😉
Next up, lots of fresh baby spinach leaves
The second recipe I decided to make was Heidi's Old Fashioned Raspberry Bars– Bryan loves raspberries so when I saw this recipe I knew automatically that these had to be made. This recipe is extremely easy and super yummy. However I wish I had some home-made raspberry preserves to use, but instead I had store-bought. It still tasted great…Heidi also suggested using other fruit preserves such as apricot or marmalade. I think next time I might try maybe strawberry preserve but again, these will be made again. These bars are super yummy
Half of the crumb mixture pressed into the bottom of the pan
Add the second half on top, press lightly and bake
Thanks to Heidi for all sharing all of her wonderful recipes, stories, knowledge and wisdom to all of us – you truly are an inspiration! . If you haven't checked out her blog yet, you really should, she is a wonderful lady and as I like to call her Wonder Woman! Check out some other Adopt a Gluten Free Blogger posts at Book Of Yum.

Intellectual freedom in Canada: Freedom does not evolve. It revolts!
Do you read this blog only for news on the intelligent design controversy?
Then please bear with my "intellectual freedom in Canada" posts. We are fighting a pitched battle here for intellectual freedom, and so far we are winning.
Freedom does not evolve. It revolts!
So, if regular programming is interrupted by "news from Canada", -as it often has been - scroll a bit. You will find the usual intelligent design controversy news to which this blog was originally dedicated - and to which it will constantly return.
I love my country, and - like many bloggers - I am determined to defeat the grievance hustlers who are deforming it.
Recently, I wrote about the possible attack on Toronto Life magazine for describing the death of sixteen-year-old Aqsa Parvez as an alleged "honour killing." Her father and brother have been charged with murder.
Now, historic Maclean's Magazine (December 1, 2008), a veteran of the free speech wars, has weighed in:
Reaction to the use of the term "honour killing" has been fierce. Feminist and Islamic groups even organized a press conference to denounce the magazine. Their argument is that Aqsa's death should be seen as an example of domestic violence rather than connected in any way to the specific cultural aspects of her home life.Yes, exactly. Phrases like "mob hit," "assassination," "date rape," and "honour killing" put us in the picture. Good for Maclean's for joining the resistance to the speech police, before things get any worse.
[ ... ]
The Oxford English Dictionary just added honour killing to its word collection last year. And its definition - "the killing of a (usually female) relative perceived to have brought dishonour upon the family, associated especially with certain cultures in which familial honour is of paramount importance" - appears to fit the alleged circumstances of Aqsa's murder. Like date rape, honour killing adds to our understanding of a situation where the generic term "domestic violence" does not.
Also: Here's Jonathan Kay on Steve Janke, an apparent victim of a SLAPP suit (= a strategic lawsuit against public participation).
We really need a way of stopping people from using lawsuits as a way of preventing new media from disseminating news. One critical weakness of new media is that we are small, low-budget operations - and it's probably better that we stay that way. But SLAPP makes that difficult.
And Ezra Levant on "The Jewish Exemption" notes that he continues to publish, as a Jew, material that got a Christian a lifetime communication ban in Canada's province of Alberta.
In the entire history of section 13, stretching back to 1977, not one single Jew, Muslim or gay has been taken before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal by the CHRC.
Not one.
Gentle reader, do you really think that not one single Jew has uttered hate speech in 31 years? I'll answer that for you: I published hate speech on my own web -- I published Rev. Boissoin's comments. I know that's hate speech, because both the Alberta HRC and the CHRC said so.
Do you really think that not a single Muslim radical, or Sikh radical, or Tamil radical, has uttered hate speech in 31 years?
Don't be ridiculous. But Lynch's McCarthyist inquisition has never gone after those. 100% of the CHRC's targets have been white, Christian or conservative.
And, of course, the conviction rate before the tribunal has been 100%.
This is not the rule of law. This is not a real court. The CHRC are not lawful prosecutors. They are rogues -- corrupt rogues, ...
Ezra, it's even worse. Look back at this: Apparently Muslim girls rank right down there with white, male Christians as people who simply don't count. Their deaths are not important; people split hairs about the terms we are permitted to use to describe their deaths.
Isn't that just what Muslim girls who live with violent, oppressive, and possessive male relatives need? - a fuss over terminology!
No, Aqsa deserved better from us, but the best we can do now is: NEVER AGAIN.
For lots more free speech and "No more fascism!" stories, go to Free Mark Steyn. And thanks to all generous PayPal donors.

zh-CN:NFS Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki - Dedicated article for common problems and solutions. Template:Article summary end From Wikipedia:
- Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Tips and tricks
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 See also
Both client and server only require the installation of the nfs-utils package.
ID mapping
/etc/idmapd.conf and set the
Domain field to your domain name.
[General] Verbosity = 1 Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs Domain = atomic [Mapping] Nobody-User = nobody Nobody-Group = nobody
File system
Define any NFS shares in
/etc/exports which are relative to the NFS root. In this example, the NFS root will be
/srv/nfs4 and we will be sharing
# mkdir -p /srv/nfs4/music
Read/Write permissions must be set on the music directory so clients may write to it.
Now mount the actual target share,
/mnt/music to the NFS share via the mount command:
# mount --bind /mnt/music /srv/nfs4/music
To make it stick across server reboots, add the bind mount to
/mnt/music /srv/nfs4/music none bind 0 0
Add directories to be shared and an ip address or hostname(s) of client machines that will be allowed to mount them in
/srv/nfs4/ 192.168.0.1/24(rw,fsid=root,no_subtree_check) /srv/nfs4/music 192.168.0.1/24(rw,no_subtree_check,nohide) # note the nohide option which is applied to mounted directories on the file system.
Users need-not open the share to the entire subnet; one can specify a single IP address or hostname as well.
For more information about all available options see
man 5 exports.
If you modify
/etc/exports while the server is running, you must re-export them for changes to take effect:
# exportfs -rav
Starting the server
rpc-idmapd and
rpc-mountd services. If you want it running at boot time, enable it. Note that these units require other services, which are launched automatically by systemd.
Firewall configuration
To enable access through a firewall, tcp and udp ports 111, 2049, and 20048 need to be opened. To configure this for iptables, edit
/etc/iptables/iptables.rules to include the following lines:
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 20048 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 111 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 20048 -j ACCEPT
To apply changes, restart
iptables service.
Clients need nfs-utils to connect, and to avoid an approx 15 seconds delay with an accompanying error in dmsg that reads, "RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out," users will need to start
rpc-gssd service on any client.
Mounting from Linux
Show the server's exported filesystems:
$ showmount -e servername
Then mount omitting the server's NFS export root:
# mount -t nfs4 servername:/music /mountpoint/on/client
/etc/fstab settings
Using fstab is useful for a server which is always on, and the NFS shares are available whenever the client boots up. Edit
/etc/fstab file, and add an appropriate line reflecting the setup. Again, the server's NFS export root is omitted.
servername:/music /mountpoint/on/client nfs4 rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,_netdev 0 0
Some additional mount options to consider are include:
- rsize and wsize
- The
rsizevalue is the number of bytes used when reading from the server. The
wsizevalue is the number of bytes used when writing to the server. The default for both is 1024, but using higher values such as 8192 can improve throughput. This is not universal. It is recommended to test after making this change, see #Performance tuning.
- timeo
- The
timeovalue is the amount of time, in tenths of a second, to wait before resending a transmission after an RPC timeout. After the first timeout, the timeout value is doubled for each retry for a maximum of 60 seconds or until a major timeout occurs. If connecting to a slow server or over a busy network, better performance can be achieved by increasing this timeout value.
- intr
- The
introption allows signals to interrupt the file operation if a major timeout occurs for a hard-mounted share.
- _netdev
- The
_netdevoption tells the system to wait until the network is up before trying to mount the share. systemd assumes this for NFS, but anyway it is good practice to use it for all types of networked filesystems
Using autofs
Using autofs is useful when multiple machines want to connect via NFS; they could both be clients as well as servers. The reason this method is preferable over the earlier one is that if the server is switched off, the client will not throw errors about being unable to find NFS shares. See autofs#NFS network mounts for details.
Mounting from Windows
NFS shares can be mounted from Windows if the "Client for NFS" service is activated (which it is not by default). To install the service go to "Programs and features" in the Control Panel and click on "Turn Windows features on or off". Locate "Services for NFS" and activate it as well as both subservices ("Administrative tools" and "Client for NFS").
Some global options can be set by opening the "Services for Network File System" (locate it with the search box) and right click on client > properties.
To mount a share using Explorer:
Computer >
Map network drive >
Mounting from OS X
Either export the share with the
insecure flag, and mount using Finder:
Go >
Connect to Server >
Or, mount the share using a secure port using the terminal:
# mount -t nfs -o resvport servername:/srv/nfs4 /Volumes/servername
Tips and tricks
Performance tuning
In order to get the most out of NFS, it is necessary to tune the
rsize and
wsize mount options to meet the requirements of the network configuration.
Automatic mount handling
This trick is useful for laptops that require nfs shares from a local wireless network. If the nfs host becomes unreachable, the nfs share will be unmounted to hopefully prevent system hangs when using the hard mount option. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1260240#p1260240
Make sure that the NFS mount points are correctly indicated in
$ cat /etc/fstab
lithium:/mnt/data /mnt/data nfs noauto,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,hard 0 0 lithium:/var/cache/pacman /var/cache/pacman nfs noauto,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,hard 0 0
noauto mount option tells systemd not to automatically mount the shares at boot. systemd would otherwise attempt to mount the nfs shares that may or may not exist on the network causing the boot process to appear to stall on a blank screen.
In order to mount NFS share by non-root user
user may be required to be added to fstab entry. Also enable rpc-statd.service.
Create the
auto_share script that will be used by cron to check if the NFS host is reachable,
#!/bin/bash SERVER="YOUR_NFS_HOST" MOUNT_POINTS=$(sed -e '/^.*#/d' -e '/^.*:/!d' -e 's/\t/ /g' /etc/fstab | tr -s " " | cut -f2 -d" ") ping -c 1 "${SERVER}" &>/dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then # The server could not be reached, unmount the shares for umntpnt in ${MOUNT_POINTS}; do umount -l -f $umntpnt &>/dev/null done else # The server is up, make sure the shares are mounted for mntpnt in ${MOUNT_POINTS}; do mountpoint -q $mntpnt || mount $mntpnt done fi
# chmod +x /root/bin/auto_share
Create the root cron entry to run
auto_share every minute:
# crontab -e
* * * * * /root/bin/auto_share
A systemd unit file can also be used to mount the NFS shares at startup. The unit file is not necessary if NetworkManager is installed and configured on the client system. See #NetworkManger dispatch.
[Unit] Description=NFS automount [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/root/bin/auto_share [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now enable
NetworkManger dispatcher
In addition to the method described previously, NetworkManager can also be configured to run a script on network status change.
Enable and start the
NetworkManager-dispatcher service.
The easiest method for mount shares on network status change is to just symlink to the
auto_share script:
# ln -s /root/bin/auto_share /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/30_nfs.sh
Or use the following mounting script that checks for network availability:
#!/bin/bash SSID="CHANGE_ME" MOUNT_POINTS=$(sed -e '/^.*#/d' -e '/^.*:/!d' -e 's/\t/ /g' /etc/fstab | tr -s " " | cut -f2 -d" ") ISNETUP=$(nmcli dev wifi | \grep $SSID | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 10 -d ' ') 2>/dev/null # echo "$ISNETUP" >> /tmp/nm_dispatch_log if [[ "$ISNETUP" == "yes" ]]; then for mntpnt in ${MOUNT_POINTS}; do mountpoint -q $mntpnt || mount $mntpnt done else for srvexp in ${MOUNT_POINTS}; do umount -l -f $srvexp &>/dev/null done fi
Now when the wireless SSID "CHANGE_ME" goes up or down, the
nfs.sh script will be called to mount or unmount the shares as soon as possible.
Configure NFS fixed ports
If you have a port-based firewall, you might want to set up a fixed ports. For rpc.statd and rpc.mountd you should set following settings in
/etc/conf.d/nfs-common and
/etc/conf.d/nfs-server (ports can be different):
STATD_OPTS="-p 4000 -o 4003"
MOUNTD_OPTS="--no-nfs-version 2 -p 4002"
# Static ports for NFS lockd options lockd nlm_udpport=4001 nlm_tcpport=4001
After restart
nfs-server daemons and reload
lockd modules you can check used ports with following command:
$ rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port service 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper 100000 4 udp 111 portmapper 100000 3 udp 111 portmapper 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper 100024 1 udp 4000 status 100024 1 tcp 4000 status 100021 1 udp 4001 nlockmgr 100021 3 udp 4001 nlockmgr 100021 4 udp 4001 nlockmgr 100021 1 tcp 4001 nlockmgr 100021 3 tcp 4001 nlockmgr 100021 4 tcp 4001 nlockmgr 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 4 udp 2049 nfs 100005 3 udp 4002 mountd 100005 3 tcp 4002 mountd
Then, you need to open the ports 111-2049-4000-4001-4002-4003 TCP and UDP.

text:
When individuals or groups of people turn away from the principles of the gospel, they are in a state of apostasy. One example is the Great Apostasy, which occurred after the Savior established His Church. After the deaths of the Savior and His Apostles, men corrupted the principles of the gospel and made unauthorized changes in Church organization and priesthood ordinances. Because of this widespread apostasy, the Lord withdrew the authority of the priesthood from the earth. This apostasy lasted until Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son appeared to Joseph Smith in 1820 and initiated the restoration of the fulness of the gospel.
Latter-day Saints believe that, through the priesthood conferred to Joseph Smith by the ministering of angels, the authority to act in God's name was brought back to the earth. This is "restored," not "reformed," Christianity. Their belief in a restored Christianity helps explain why most Latter-day Saint converts, from the 1830s to the present, converted from other Christian denominations. None of these converts thought they were leaving Christianity; they are simply grateful to learn about, and become part of, the restored Church of Jesus Christ, which they believe offers a more complete and rich Christian Church spiritually, organizationally, and doctrinally.
Additional Information
During the Great Apostasy, people were without divine direction from living prophets. Many churches were established, but they did not have priesthood power to lead people to the true knowledge of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Parts of the holy scriptures were corrupted or lost, and no one had the authority to confer the gift of the Holy Ghost or perform other priesthood ordinances.
We now live in a time when the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. But unlike the Church in times past, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will not be overcome by general apostasy. The scriptures teach that the Church will never again be destroyed (see D&C 138:44; see also Daniel 2:44).
Although there will not be another general apostasy from the truth, we must each guard against personal apostasy by keeping covenants, obeying the commandments, following Church leaders, partaking of the sacrament, and constantly strengthening our testimonies through daily scripture study, prayer, and service.

In between the numbers – Pay Me Now or Pay Me (More) Later
Maybe it's because I grew up in the Midwest. But I just don't like writing checks to lawyers.
I've lots of friends in the legal profession, and all are lovely people (well, most of them, anyway).
But as the pragmatic sort, it pains me to spend money to resolve something that might have been settled at a lesser price well before.
Which leads me to the topic of PCI.
Just reviewed a 2010 study from the data security experts at The Ponemon Institute that looked at the post-incident cost of data breaches. Forget, for a moment, the brand humiliation, the CEO news conferences, the critical whiplash in the blogosphere and throughout Facebook. Ignore, for a moment, that research suggests that 30% of consumers who were victimized by retailer data breaches promise never to patronize the offending brand again.
The Ponemon research found that 42% of all data breach incidents led to the involvement of a third party (there to provide additional, independent investigation, resolve disputes, and soak up consulting fees.)
The average cost of that third party involvement in the United States was $1.52 million, with final resolution costs ranging from $750,000 to upwards of $31 million. That's on top of lost business estimated at $4.47M per incident.
Total: $6M. Perhaps not fatal to a billion-dollar business, but not a check I'd like to request.
Yes, I know that active, careful PCI compliance is no guarantee. And that active, careful PCI compliance doesn't put revenue on the top line. And that there's ongoing confusion about PCI for mobile. And everyone thinks it's all too expensive. And on and on and on.
But I also know this: active, careful compliance reduces risk. Significantly.
And that the price of risk is not just a bruised brand.

Concord native coordinates service trips for student athletes
STRIVING FOR SERVICE: For the past three summers, Concord native Tyler Andrews
was a group leader of STRIVE Trips, which coordinates international service trips for US high school student athletes in Peru and Kenya. Recently, he began overseeing the program as director and co-owner of the organization.
Andrews, a senior studying mechanical engineering and astrophysics at Tufts University, said students assist with teaching and building projects at rural schools with structured workouts twice a day. They stay at high altitude training centers at both locations, with an optional one-week Spanish language immersion program offered for the first time this year in Peru.
According to Andrews, many participants do optional, private fund-raising to contribute to the needs of the communities in which they serve. Last summer, for example, an 18-student group transformed an abandoned school room into a resource library and reading room in Peru.
Andrews, a member of the cross-country and track teams at Tufts, said he and STRIVE co-owners Nic Windschill
of Minnesota and Robert Martin
of New York City hope to expand the program to additional times of year and locations, and to include college students and adults.
"The work we do on the ground is great, but the bigger goal is getting kids to fall in love with places they might not otherwise see or think about. That's what happened to me,'' said Andrews, who traveled and worked in Ecuador during a gap year between high school and college.
"We work with kids for a short amount of time,'' he added, "but in that time, I want to inspire them to come back to these beautiful countries with amazing people and cultures and continue to make a difference.''

In addition, Belmont alumni will share reflections on their METCO experience. Music will be provided by gospel singers and Boston residents Nichelle Mungo
and Darlene Wynn, the mother of a former Belmont METCO student.
Supervised activities will be available for ages 6 to 11, and child care will be provided for children 5 and under. The building is accessible, and sign language interpreters will be on hand.

MUSIC FOR AN ICON: The 2013 documentary "Live Forever: The Ray Bradbury Odyssey'' has a local connection with music by Steve Thomas
of Concord.
Thomas collaborated on the soundtrack with former Massachusetts resident Shawn Clement, who now lives in Hollywood, for the feature-length film which chronicles the life of the fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery writer best known for his novel "Fahrenheit 451.''
Narrated by "Criminal Minds'' star Joe Mantegna, the film also features Malcolm McDowell, Edward James Olmos, Dennis Franz, and Hugh Hefner.
Thomas, who runs the Atwood Media marketing consultancy and music production company, describes the music as a combination of Clement's "deep, other-worldly'' cinematic orchestral music with his own "eclectic, genre-mashing aesthetic,'' resulting in the unique musical context for the sci-fi icon.
In fact, Thomas has contributed since 2008 to the Clemistry Music production library that has supplied music for films, television shows, and video games for nearly 20 years.
"My music has been on TV before,'' said Thomas, who still has the copy of "Fahrenheit 451'' that he read in school, "but Ray Bradbury is a whole different level.''
A prerelease screening of "Live Forever: The Ray Bradbury Odyssey'' took place on Nov. 11, 2012, in Ventura, Calif. According to Thomas, the film is being submitted to film festivals while broader distribution is negotiated.
CELEBRATING AFRICAN MUSIC AND DANCE: Arlington resident Joe Galeota
(inset), an associate professor of percussion at Berklee College of Music, is producing "Homeland Security: Celebrating Contemporary and Traditional African Music and Dance'' on Jan. 28 at 8:15 p.m. at the Berklee Performance Center, 136 Massachusetts Ave. in Boston.
The performance will feature students on scholarship from Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and South Africa, as well as students from the United States. It is dedicated to Berklee president Roger Brown
and his wife, Linda Mason, Belmont residents who established the Africa Scholars Program in 2008 to cover four years of full tuition plus room and board.
Galeota leads Berklee's 16-member West African Drum and Dance Ensemble, which will perform traditional drum and dance pieces from Ghana and Togo. The concert will include original songs written by students from Kenya and Mozambique about their homelands and personal journeys, along with spoken word pieces and traditional and contemporary music.
Galeota, one of the advisers for the African student club, said he is moved by the camaraderie among its members.
"They are all so talented, but still help one another and maintain the kind of closeness that you find in the African communities,'' he said. "My vision for the concert was to share all of their talent in one night and on one stage together.''
Tickets cost $8 in advance or $12 on the day of the show. For more information, call 617-747-2261 or visit berkleebpc.com.
WHO'S WHAT WHERE: Stephanie Burns

Yesterday during a Build session, Microsoft software engineer Polita Paulus held a session on what it means for developers to upgrade their apps for Windows 8.1. While current Windows 8 apps will of course run just fine on 8.1, developers interested in taking advantage of the new code base will need to recompile their app and add or modify a few lines of code.
Like all OS updates, those of you who are straight up consumers just want to know, what does it mean for me? We know already that in 8.1 the "snap view" is basically gone in the sense that predefined sizes (1/3 or 2/3 of the display) are no longer required. That means you can drag and resize multiple "snapped" windows to whatever size you want.
But what about speed changes? Of course an OS update should bring optimizations to the codebase, allowing apps to load quicker and indeed on 81, that is the case.
In a slide (and subsequent demo) we're told that apps recompiled for 8.1 have quite a few advantages to them for speed:
- 5-30% increase in Startup time (in an app with ListView e.g. Mail)
- 2x List Planning
- 10-20% lower memory usage in XAML
- 15-35% faster: Editing in a WinJS ListView
In real world terms, we saw what this meant in the much used Mail app for Windows 8. The app started faster and when scrolling fast there were no fill-boxes (i.e. the grey background) resulting in a visually much improved system.
Developers won't have to do much either to take advantage of 8.1, as in most instances a simple recompile is all that is needed. However, devs may need to spend a little time tweaking how their app looks when snapped at various sizes, including what its ideal would be.
Regardless, in the end yes, your apps will start faster, be smoother at scrolling and use less memory, just as you would expect.

Analytical Sampling
Collections Research
The Peabody Museum encourages a multidisciplinary approach to collections research. In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to remove samples, conduct invasive tests, or otherwise modify items in the collection in order to maximize their research potential. Decisions about the appropriateness of such requests must balance the legitimate needs of the scholarly and scientific community with the long-term preservation of the collections, including future research needs.
The Museum supports the judicious sampling of its collections in situations determined to afford significant information not available through non-destructive examination. Analytical sampling includes any procedure for which a sample of any size is removed from an object or any procedure that permanently alters an object macroscopically. The Museum is always mindful that analytical sampling requests require the removal of original materials, which, once removed, are no longer available for further study.
For additional information, please read our Analytical Sampling Policies and Procedures and FAQs or click here for instructions on how to submit a request to conduct analytical sampling.

The More Perfect Cocktail/
Just as I often cannot keep it in my pants for Eric Felten, the PhoBlograpHusband's got it bad for Old Mr. Boston, the circa-1935 Official Bartenders Guide we received from a friend. It's quite the thorough, reliably voiced tome, considering it doubles as a hardcover, portable advertisement for Old Mr. Boston's erstwhile products, such as Old Mr. Boston Blended Whiskey and Connoisseur Creme de Cacao. (There's even a glossy-paged centerfold replete with handsome liquor ads. Oh 1935, how naughty wast thou!)
Anyway, Sean was thumbing through the thing the other day and happened upon the Perfect Cocktail and asked if he should whip it
out up for the blog. I figured, yes, of course, why not, as we can talk about the concept of "perfect" in cocktail-making, that it's not just a boast but that it actually means something, namely the addition of dry and sweet vermouths to a drink in equal measure.
Another mini history lesson is this: While these days nobody ever orders anything "perfect" unless they mean a Manhattan, back in the day, the assumption when you talked about a Perfect Cocktail was that gin would be your base liquor. Much like how the original Alexander was also a gin concoction until the Brandy Alexander came along with its swinging-from-the-chandeliers popularity -- and, hand in hand, its more sugary-sweet flavor profile -- and became the Alexander de rigueur. Or how Martini always meant gin and vermouth until vodka martinis started clouding up the whole affair. Of course, Martinis were derived from Martinezes which were derived from Manhattans... and the circle of life continues.
Anyway! The historical perspective I am trying to lay upon the Perfect Cocktail is, when we tasted the Old Mr. Boston recipe for the drink, we did not really like it at all upon first sip. This is what cocktails used to taste like before everything in our lives, from our morning cereal to our flouride toothpaste, started tasting like candy. It had such a grown-up, no-sweetness flavor profile that I dare say it was un-fun, and while Sean and I agreed that we could sit with it a spell, let it grow on us, learn to appreciate its odd angles, instead we just decided to do a couple dashes of Peychaud's, which rendered it more in line with our modern-day ideas of grown-up pleasure. It is Friday, after all; who wants to be assigned homework right before the weekend?
The More Perfect Cocktail
(which builds upon the Perfect Cocktail recipe as published in Old Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide)
Equal parts Bombay Dry Gin, Stock Sweet Vermouth and Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth (we did 25ml, or about an ounce, each)
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass. Stir vigorously with a bar spoon. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
