It's time to expand your horizons. Yes, we all love Montreal and Vancouver, but there are destinations all across our country that have what it takes to coax you into their folds. From east to west, here are the 10 most under-rated, deserve-to-be-loved destinations that should be on your vacation radar.
1. Dildo, N.L.
Why go? Dildo is a fishing town on the eastern shore of Trinity Bay with a freaky name, but there's more to it than that. It's cute as a button and picturesque to boot. It overlooks the sea and oozes the kind of charm that's quintessential Newfoundland. The Winterton Boat Building Museum explores its nautical heritage dating back to the 1700s. Nature lovers can hike the trails that wind through the hills, watch for icebergs and whales in the harbour, or visit a pony sanctuary in nearby Hopeall.
Why you haven't: With a name like Dildo, it's hard to think about what's actually there.
Tips: Go luxe and book a room (from $129 a night) at the five-star George House Heritage B&B for the great view. The free nibbles and drinks between 4 and 6 p.m. are just a bonus. Buy Dildo souvenirs at the Dildo Trading Post (because you won't be able to resist wearing a Dildo emblazoned sweatshirt around your friends). Amp up your trip's romance factor with visits to nearby spots like Heart's Content, Heart's Delight and Heart's Desire.
Prime time: Early summer is when you'll catch sight of icebergs, but well into the fall there's plenty to see and do, surrounded by postcard-like vistas.
Know more: newfoundlandlabrador.com, georgehousebnb.com
2. North Cape, P.E.I.
Why go? Skip the whale-watching tours and aquariums. From the shore here "up west," you may spot whales, porpoises and seals at low tide. This is where Gulf of St. Lawrence and the waters of the Northumberland Strait meet. The breezes are gusty -- perfect for cooling off after hiking the Black Marsh Nature Trail -- so it's not surprising to see towering turbines on the red cliffs catching the wind as energy. An interpretive centre explains how it all works.
Why you haven't: You've been so dazzled by the biking routes and beaches elsewhere on the island that you've found it hard to pull yourself away. North Cape is more rugged, rockier and windier, but it's just as dazzling.
Tips: On the drive up, make a pit stop at the P.E.I. Potato Museum to see the oddity that is a giant sculptured potato. Also stop to slurp some Acadian fish chowder at one of the Acadian communities.
Prime time: Choose summer for the weather or fall for the food (lobster season and the Fall Flavours culinary festival, which goes from Sept. 3 to 30).
Know more: tourismpei.com, fallflavours.ca
3. Baddeck, Cape Breton, N.S.
Why go? Alexander Graham Bell picked Baddeck as his final resting spot. He's buried on a hill that overlooks the maze of lakes and islands that is Bras d'Or. A museum celebrates the genius that gave us the telephone, plus his technological advances in aeronautics, medicine and engineering. Viewing stately homes, sailing around the harbour and cracking open a lobster at a community supper should rank high on your to-do list.
Why you haven't: When in Cape Breton, the Cabot Trail deservedly mesmerizes visitors with its beauty -- and then they leave. Lingering longer and exploring the island reveals its other gems.
Tips: Being by the water, in it, or on it, shows you why Baddeck attracts visitors. Explore it up close with a kayak trip with North River Kayak Tours. Even awkward first-time kayakers feel serene, thanks to patient, knowledgeable guides.
Prime time: In summer, lupins wave in the breeze and the lake comes alive with boaters and swimmers, but you can also get a dose of the culture by taking in the events of the Celtic Colours International Festival from Oct. 8 to 16.
Know more: novascotia.com, northriverkayak.com
4. Fredericton, N.B.
Why go? As New Brunswick's provincial capital, it's the perfect hub for your explorations. Canadian history sheds its boring image at Kings Landing Historical Settlement where characters in costume take visitors back to the 1800s. Catch dinner in the nearby Miramichi River, famous for its fly-fishing and hefty salmon. This doesn't mean there isn't much to do in the city. You'll have a bounty of seafood offered by local restaurants and cool shops (especially those specializing in hand-crafted goods) will coax away your cash.
Why you haven't: When visiting the Maritimes, the towns on the ocean and the Bay of Fundy, such as St. Andrews, are the big draws. Inland destinations such as Fredericton get overlooked in the fog.
Tips: Fredericton wants you to leave a smarter person, so sign up for an edVentures program (on until Aug. 20). You can learn how to hook a rug, make a mug, craft a chair, or paint a bear.
Prime time: Summer is the most popular, of course, but fall and spring have much to offer, from maple syrup festivals to road trips to see autumn colours.
Know more: tourismfredericton.ca, edventures.ca/en
5. Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Que.
Why go? Eat, drink and be merry with a French flair. Those are three good reasons to visit this chain of islands in the St. Lawrence River where the sea meets the ocean. Lobster is the star here and they are big ones, the size of puppies. The honey-hued beaches wind around 300 kilometres of coastline and never get crowded. Bike, walk, hike or drive from island to island. Sample the island's numerous culinary treats (crab, scallops, mussels, artisanal cheeses, chocolate, and berry wine) as you go. Go snap happy and photograph the little fishing cottages in jelly-bean colours.
Why you haven't: You can't drive, so getting here is more expensive. Hop on a plane (Air Canada Jazz goes to the islands) or take the daily ferry from Souris on Prince Edward Island.
Tips: The cliffs may look tempting to scurry over, but don't. Erosion has made them susceptible to collapse. Forgo camping and stay in one of the chic B&Bs where there's no chance your accommodations will be blown away by the wind.
Prime time: The islands are open for business year round. In winter, the hardy eco-set arrives to welcome a fresh batch of baby harp seals.
Know more: www.tourismeilesdelamadeleine.com
6. Port Hope, Ont.
Why go? Back in the late 1800s, someone put this town into a time capsule and kept it there. It is wonderfully preserved, with original façades and grand Victorian homes. Its quaint charm has earned it a steady gig as a setting for movies and TV shows. Antique hunters drool over early Canadian furniture and Victorian-era doodads available at the many shops and markets.
Why you haven't: It's just off the 401 on the north shore of Lake Ontario, but you likely whiz by the exit every time.
Tips: Steer clear of the big-name hotels and bed down for the night at one of the historic B&Bs downtown after taking in a performance at the grand Capitol Theatre.
Prime time: In the summer, the crowds come to shop and roam the streets, but fall is also a good choice because of the All Canadian Jazz Festival (Sept. 24 to 26) and the old-fashioned fall fair (Sept. 17 to 19), now in its 179th year.
Know more: porthopetourism.ca, ontariotravel.net
7. Gimli, Man.
Why go? It sounds familiar, but you've never been unless you're from the 'Peg and have spent your lifetime hanging out there in the summer. This beach town on the shore of Lake Winnipeg is a natural beauty. It also boasts a sizeable Icelandic community, which comes out strong every summer for Islendingadagurinn (which could translate to "big festival with partying Vikings and other commoners who like pancake breakfasts").
Why you haven't: Your bathing suit is a bit snug and you're a bit shy about hanging out with the beach crowd. Or you just haven't thought of Manitoba as a prime sun-and-sand spot.
Tips: Stop by Kris' Fish & Chips to fill up on pickerel, batter and fried, with a side of fries. On second thought, that won't help loosen up that bathing suit, will it?
Prime time: Summer is it, unless you're into ice fishing. Go during the Gimli Film Festival every July so you can watch a flick while you lounge on the beach.
Know more: visitgimli.com, travelmanitoba.com
8. Moose Jaw, Sask.
Why go? It's way cooler than you think. It has a healthy arts scene and hip galleries sprinkled over the downtown core. Those underground tunnels (alleged Al Capone-rum running ties aside) have an interesting tale to tell about racism, ingenuity and the cost of progress. Then there's the spa scene. The town was founded over top of natural thermal springs and Temple Gardens Mineral Spa makes the most of it. Another surprise: Sahara Spa features a Balinese theme and it's housed in a former railroad station.
Why you haven't: It suffers from the same condition as Dildo. The buck too often stops at its odd name.
Tips: Make your stomach happy with a good feed of Thai cuisine at Nit's, a shabby-chic diner that still serves meals on pink Melmac dishes. Stroll the streets to spot one of 36 murals that depict that town's early history.
Prime time: The fall has some of the most gorgeous sunsets, but come any time -- even in the winter. At Temple Gardens, you can sit in the outdoor hot tub while the snow falls and still feel toasty.
Know more: moosejaw.ca, sasktourism.com
9. Edmonton, Alta.
Why go? Edmonton pegs itself as "Canada's festival city" and there's plenty to back it up. It seems there's always something going on, especially in arts and culture circles. The best-known events are theatre-centric, with the International Fringe Festival and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. The Art Gallery of Alberta is looking its best in a sexy new contemporary building, opened in February. Catch the exhibit The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons until Oct. 11.
Why you haven't: Blame its flirty sister city, Calgary, for stealing some of its thunder and an unfair focus on the behemoth, West Edmonton Mall.
Tips: Go old or go new in hotels. The Fairmont McDonald is a lovely, refined old dame and the new Matrix boutique hotel is a chic newcomer.
Prime time: The city is one of Canada's sunniest, so bask in the sunshine any time, but only the truly hardy will come Nov. 28 to watch the Grey Cup.
Know more: Edmonton.com, travelalberta.com
10. Osoyoos, B.C.
Why go? Welcome to the desert. Osoyoos is a booming community that is just a putt away from the U.S. border in the central part of B.C. It's at the northernmost point of the Great Basin Desert, so the weather -- dry summers and blizzard-free winters -- are a big draw. Mountains and golf, hiking and biking, plus tastings at Nk'Mip, North America's first aboriginal owned-and-operated winery, keep visitors amused. If Arizona and B.C. got married, this town would be their love child.
Why you haven't: It's not a place you'd stumble upon by accident. You'll find it because you want to. Also, it has a name most people can't pronounce. For the record, it's "Oh-sue-yoos."
Tips: Check out the new Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa, a 4.5-star property that focuses on pampering, from gourmet dining to a massage at the Sonora Spa.
Prime time: Pack up and go any time. Osoyoos enjoys the perks of being a desert -- golf year round and minimal precipitation, just 30 centimetres inches annually.
Know more: destinationosoyoos.com, HelloBC.com
Writer Michele Sponagle has travelled to more than 55 countries, but she still believes that there is no place like home -- Paris, Ont., in her case.

Here is a picture of the Plain City, Weber, Utah school student body in 1895. Apparently this was the entire student body and this photo was reproduced in the 15 March 1959 copy of the Ogden Standard-Examiner. I have a couple of relatives in the picture and that is probably why my Grandpa and Grandma Ross pulled it from the paper and have kept it with their possessions. The names all come from that same paper caption although both of the unknown Rogers just have Miss. If anyone knows where to get a clearer scan of the photo, I would appreciate it as this 60 year old paper isn't the best version. I do not think the school in Plain City had another name besides the Plain City School.
I looked up the information for each individual. I found most of them, except for a couple whose names were just not in Plain City or they must have only been there a short time. Sometimes with those old clippings whoever gave them the names might have put a married last name rather than a maiden. Hopefully someone can correct the rest of the names. The two principals I could not nail down because of the difference in age I could not define and there were so many with the same name within 30 years of the age of most of these students. I put the one I think is most likely but welcome corrections.

Harry Styles (Black Outfit) Cardboard Cutout
This high-quality Cardboard Cutout really is the bees knees. A must for any true fan, collector or just for someone wanting to outdo their friends and show off (all of which we approve of). Printed on heavy-duty corrugated cardboard, youll never have to worry about sagging due to age if only that were true in our daily lives. We offer two distinct options for our loyal and lovely customers. A lifesized cutout reflects the celebrities real life height and folds down for portability, whilst the miniature cutouts are all 2 feet (600 mm) in height and are particularly perfect for events and locations that are restrictive of free space.
Printed using a secret and long-held family technique by beautiful master builders of the upmost character and expertise, our Celebrity Cutouts are printed and perfected in the UK by the very best machinery using the highest quality materials. You can quote us on that, despite the fact it sounded like a sound bite from an infomercial.
Add personality, glamour and star power to any get together; be it a wedding, anniversary, stag/hen or upbeat funeral. Our jet-setting celebrities mimic the real thing and can genuinely be delivered to almost anywhere in the world, whether you live in a city where the stars frequent your local coffee shop or on a farm a thousand miles away from your neighbour. Pesky import tax may be required of purchasers in some countries. We apologise as we have no control over that but we do suggest writing a polite to your government or monarch if this grieves you.
So take the plunge and offer this poor homeless Cardboard Cutout a home or at least a purpose in life. Im sure whilst they are sat on our production line they are feeling pretty bored and would much rather be spending time with you.

As Duncan Morrison and his crew laboured away on the Point St. Charles conversion project last fall, he knew he was working in the right location - in more ways than one.
Not only was the house a prime candidate for a complete overhaul, solid but deteriorating, but the neighbourhood was filled with gentle folk who would offer a shovel or a friendly hello. He smiles remembering Maggie, an elderly woman living next door and caring for her ill husband, who every Friday morning at 10 a.m. would bring over a pot of coffee and neatly wrapped grilledcheese sandwiches for the crew. "It was fun to see all these hardy workmen bubbling over with pleasure," Morrison says.
"There are great neighbours here; that's why we like the Point so much," he says. "Plus this area is being gentrified - it's full of history, near the Atwater Market and near downtown."
Hoping to be slightly ahead of the curve, this is the area they chose when Morrison, a veteran general contractor with a degree in urban planning, got together with entrepreneur and eco-housing enthusiast Paul King to look for properties in which they could invest. They found this nondescript duplex, its lower floor nearly destroyed by tenants and the owner's upper floor in need of more than a gentle renovation.
So along with architect Eric Madjer, they decided to begin Phase 1 of their new business, eco-Habitat, focusing on green building technologies and as many eco-features as they could put into the 2,100-square-foot, three-storey space, transforming it from a duplex into a single-family cottage. The double doors and white brick have been replaced by a prettily red-bricked house with black trim around windows, balcony and the single door with glass borders.
"We're trying to marry green with contemporary," says King. "We're in uncharted territory, but we want to take a new approach."
They've done this by creating what they believe is a premium product - a house with an airtight building envelope due to soya insulation, a heat pump for heating and cooling, air exchanger so the tight seal can allow the transfer of fresh air, low flow faucets and shower heads and dual flush toilets, recycled materials in the metal siding and quartz kitchen counters and a rainwater collection system for garden irrigation.
As much as possible, they've sourced all their building materials locally, including bricks, lumber, gyproc and flooring. "It was our mission to get everything local," Morrison says.
On the bottom floor, they excavated three feet to create an eight-foot high, wellinsulated basement with additional foundation walls that are cleverly covered with deep, hardwood shelving all around the room.
The main floor, reached via the simple geometric, steel railed, hardwood, opentread staircase, houses an open plan living and dining area, filled with light streaming from the front windows - retained in their original form as a government building requirement - and the two-storey back atrium windows.
Creating an open space for living and dining did have its challenges, like where to put the hall closet and powder room. They solved the first problem by creating a free-standing closet made of locally-sourced 12-inch cedar planks, as much a standing work of art as a functional room; and the second by tucking a tiny powder room at the end of the vestibule, the entire floor laid with heated slate tiles.
The 14-foot-long galley kitchen at the side of the main floor features grey lacquered cupboards and quartz countertops, the sense of space given continuity by the same flooring as the rest of the home - seven-inch oak boards treated with waterbased urethane.
At the back of the dining space, looking out over the walled garden with patio, is the contemporary signature of the house - a two-storey atrium-like extension with floor-to-ceiling windows, leaving the falling-down sheds at the back of the original house as a distant memory. Unlike the front of the house, where all the windows and even the original balcony had to be kept intact, and the new brick carefully laid to mimic the old, at the back the owners were able to use expansive glass and create a sophisticated look, right down to the vertical metal siding in pale grey.
The master bedroom above has clean lines and huge closets, though no element of the room commands more focus than the clear balcony wall that separates it from the massive back window. The ensuite bathroom is a combination of comfort and stylishness, with heated floors, a rain shower head and soaking tub, lit by the same style of long, slender window seen below in the kitchen.
This premium house is now on the market - at a premium price of $629,000. "This was not a cheap renovation," Morrison says. "We're focusing on good construction technique and good design."
"This is our first ecohouse," says King. "We hope it will be the first of dozens."

|Phase 1
The antiretrovirals were administered conventionally according to fixed dosage systems, or depending on the weight of the individual in the case of certain agents. However, the plasma levels of antiretrovirals following the administration of a fixed dose present a marked interindividual variability. Moreover, a significant proportion of the patients on treatment with PIs presented plasma levels regarded as suboptimal in previous studies.
Moreover, for the correct modification of the dosage of a drug, populational data on its pharmacokinetic behaviour during the dosing interval is required. Only by integrating this information with the specific characteristics of each individual is it possible, using mathematical models, to estimate the effect that a modification of the dosage of the drug would have on its plasma concentration. However, populational data on the pharmacokinetic behaviour of antiretroviral agents are still very limited at this moment, and have not always been obtained in populations similar to the one to which they are to be applied.
Thus, knowing the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the antiretroviral agents in our population and the influence of certain individual characteristics on this behaviour may be of great interest, since only in this way will we be able to tailor the dosage of antiretrovirals reliably in our patients.

Overview of Our Hospital Ratings
This section summarizes our hospital ratings and describes other information you can gather yourself. The section "Hospital Ratings Data Details," listed below, provides further discussion of these data and its strengths and weaknesses.
Why Your Choice of Hospital Matters
Choosing a good hospital can be a life and death decision, as our ratings of hospitals for inpatient care reveal. Preventable medical errors kill at least 200,000 patients each year in the U.S., making it the third leading cause of death.
Learning About Your Case
Before a hospitalization, learn as much about your case as time allows to answer two critical questions: what is wrong with you and what is the best approach to treatment? What you learn will help you play an active role in monitoring your care.
Details on the Data Used for Our Hospital Ratings
This section is a detailed discussion of the data we present evaluating hospitals, and how they should be interpreted.
Other Information You Can Gather On Your Own
In addition to the data we included in our evaluations of hospitals, there is additional information you can gather on your own.
How to Get Good Care Wherever You Go
Regardless of which hospital you are admitted to, you and your family or friends can do a lot to influence the quality of care you receive.
Special Considerations for Cancer Cases
It is important to choose a top-quality institution for the treatment of cancer, whether inpatient or outpatient. Choice of such an institution might have a big effect on the long-term outcome.
Hospitals Recognized for Excellence in Nursing Services
Another indicator of hospital quality is by the Magnet Recognition Program, which was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center to identify healthcare organizations that provide the best in nursing care.

At the Google I/O conference in San Francisco last week, the search giant revealed more plans to push its technologies into the lives of essentially all individuals. In this sense, Google's reach and capabilities put it far ahead of any other company in terms of the access it already has to personal information. A typical tech user who relies on a few selected services might well depend on the company for his email, his phone, his tablet OS, his maps, browser, and, of course, search. If privacy settings are not locked down, there is almost nothing of immediate importance that Google won't know about him.
So much information has drawn scrutiny, especially from European authorities, who carefully monitor what Google collects and how it uses the data. As importantly, the EU provides its denizens with the ability to opt out of Google search results. In this sense, the appreciation that you and I are the product Google is selling to advertisers, is far more advanced in Europe than it is in the United States.
With so much information already at its disposal, what more could Google want? The I/O show, which is the company's annual confab for developers, focused on wearable computing. The give-away was an Android-based watch that could be tethered via Bluetooth to an Android phone. Doing this turned out to be a lengthy exercise in yak-shaving with an end result that made users immediately aware of the dearth of practical apps. At present, you can use such a watch to receive phone calls, tell time, set alarms, and count your steps. Yeah, the net benefit over the phone that sits in your pocket for the whole setup to work is that it serves as a pedometer. We're still in early days, of course, which is why Google was giving out the watches to begin with. But I suspect wearable computing needs a lot better killer apps to drive demand among users. If it catches on, though, Google will likely know even more intimate details of its users' lives.
Last year, when the company discontinued the Google Reader a useful aggregator of Web content tailored to individual preferences several articles appeared on Reddit and Hacker News regarding disconnecting entirely from Google. Ultimately, the conclusion was that a complete disconnect was very difficult to accomplish and often meant accepting notably inferior solutions simply to spurn Google. This might lead one to fear a dark inevitability about Google's presence. However, it's worth noting that the company has been one of the most proactive protectors of its data, especially from the prying eyes of government authorities.
If the role of Google is inevitable, certainly the choice of its technologies by developers has nothing preordained about it. And so, the Google I/O show is put on to promote new technologies and to try to smooth the path for programmers who want to engage further with the company's software offerings. Unlike previous years, this show was two days long rather than three, and only a few of the technologies received full corporate attention. For example, the Go team was forced into doing presentations in a cramped booth among vendors. They had to shout over the clamor of neighboring booths and found themselves attempting to communicate with developers who were obliged to stand and who could barely hear what they were being told.
Either this was a catastrophic logistical error or Go is no longer a favored developer technology. At the same time, Dart, which is Google's JavaScript alternative, was being presented in large, quiet lecture halls using standard audio-visual tools to address developers who sat in comfortable chairs.
Trying to figure out what this means in terms of Dart's and Go's respective fortunes is akin to assessing the relative favor of Politburo members by their seating arrangements overlooking a May Day parade. You conclude what you can because no one is going to actually tell you.
And that's a problem. When dealing with Google technologies as a developer, it's hard to commit completely because you don't really know to what extent the company is committed to the technology and API it wants you to use. In the last few years, Google has killed off dozens of projects and dozens more APIs. Of the former, Google SearchWiki, Google Wave, and Google Reader are but three examples. Because there was no session on Google+ at I/O this year, there was rampant speculation that it, too, would be chopped soon.
Android seems like a solid bet. So do Gmail and Google Office. (Both of which enjoyed major upgrades at the show.) Chrome is certainly another solid bet. And of course, search. But after that, things get hazy. Google Cloud (that is, Google App Engine) was once a hot offering that the company badly mismanaged. Today, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Red Hat Open Shift, and VMware Cloud Foundry all present more interesting developer options than App Engine.
And Google Code, at one time was "the" place to host open-source projects; but today, it looks and feels like a legacy site without the features or the elegance of BitBucket or Github. Finally, even Dart, the show's preferred language this year, has an uncertainty about it. It's a primarily Chrome-oriented language that competes directly with Microsoft Typescript, CoffeeScript, and JavaScript. How long can we really expect Google to invest in its development?
While Google is a company of nearly endless innovation, it needs to engage in far better communication with developers. Rather than promote the latest gee-whiz features, it needs to stabilize its plans and APIs so that programmers can truly know what they can rely on and what they might need to rewrite due to its experimental nature. In this sense, Google should take a page from Microsoft and IBM, which (due to being enterprise vendors) understand and accept the need to commit long-term to the technologies they induce customers to use.

With the rep buff from Hallow's End, I received 600 rep points with The Tillers upon turning in the quest. So it's very much worth doing, in my opinion. :)
As of 5.2 with the Grand Commendation system, you will gain double the amount of reputation. Now you'll really want to look for the dog.Last edited by Alayea on Feb 1, 2013Private Mod Note ():Rollback Post to Revision RollBack

A year-long celebration of the Sheridan Opera House starts Sunday with a vaudeville variety show, a type of entertainment that was popular in its early years.
The Telluride Daily Planet reported Friday that the show will include magic tricks, can-can dancing and a melodrama called "Miners, Madams and Mayhem!" A 70s ski party, an 80s wedding party and a 20s-themed speakeasy gala are also planned in 2013.
The opera house hosts premieres at the Telluride Film Festival and is also used for concerts, children's plays and ski movie screenings. It opened in 1913 as the Segerberg Theater. Besides vaudeville shows, it hosted socialite balls, orchestras and boxing matches.

I must say, that I haven't posted all of my findings on this project. I am really trying to stay focused on the Methodology that Dr. Jones has presented. Going through all of the pictures from yesterday, I thought that I would show one of my findings.
Driving around Baltimore, "in search of …. " the Howards, I saw a new monument about a block from one of the houses that I found.
This house is 901 St Paul Street. McHenry Howard and household in the 1920 Census. Up the street, within the block was another residence of this household in previous census records. There is a historical marker, which I couldn't get close enough to, said that this was the home of Samuel Shoemaker (another mystery). But, there it is. St. Paul Street carries the name of an Episcopal Church not to far away.
Behind me, as I took this picture a block or two was a statue of John Eager Howard (1752-1827). Within a block or two was Eager Street. Like many folks I have run across in this project, he has a story.
Here is a picture of the Statue.
Speaking of Episcopal Churches:
I could not get a good enough position to take a picture of the church itself, but I will visit one day when I can get it. Mentioned in a previous Blog post, Worthington's were at this church, moved out to St. Thomas Garrison Forrest, then to Worthington Valley. But, I digress.
Back to John Eager Howard.
If you read this sign: this lot was proved by Col. John Eager Howard.
Why all of the interest in this little side trip, away from David Ridgely Howard? I peeked at my own database and guess who I found. John Eager Howard. His wife is my 3rd Cousin, 6 times removed. That linkage, may hold the clue to David Ridgely Howard.
I have often heard, "look sideways". This to me is one of those glances sideways. I have David Ridgeley Howards' names, but can't get the previous generation.
It is obvious to me, that the folks that I have found, for this project, were known and had an impact on Baltimore. Many of the surnames I have mentioned thus far are street names within blocks of where these pictures were taken.
Lesson Learned: Had I only known what I would be doing when I retired, I would have "walked the streets" when I worked in Baltimore. These places are all within walking distance of my job.

Bit of a cheeky one here – what does anybody want to know about these topics?
There is a book in the pipeline, and I have lots to say about all these things, but am very interested to hear what you think is easy / hard / intuitive / arcane / stupid about these commands and the whole job control side of Unix/Linux and the different shells.
lsof is great, but almost only GNU/Linux; fuser is good, but restricted in how much it actually tells you – you have to go digging into PIDs to see what has to be KILLed or otherwise dealt with.
What, oh faithful few who may still be following this terribly intermittent blog, do you want to see on the subject of processes and job control in the *nix shell?

The peach mutations are a separate sub-species of standard yellow minifigs that are a known and present threat in Galactik Civilization. Various theories exist as to the reason for their existence, but none is confirmed.
Timeline of the Peach Mutations
Most of the events leading to the rise of the peach mutations remain shrouded in mystery, but some facts are known for sure. This will serve as a guide to their history within the Galactik Civilization.
Somewhere around R. 2,003, no one is quite sure when, basketball became the most popular sport in the Galactik Civilization. It was overtaken by an increase in the popularity of football, but for a short time basketball was king. In any case, for some reason the minifigs who played basketball were not yellow like all the others. They were peach or varying shades of tan. At the time no one could quite understand why this was, but most suspect a mutation in the ABS genome. Back then, the mutation wasn't quite stable so they did not all share the same peachy colour, though their descendants all share one shade.
It has been suggested by many that the ABS genome was modified by cross-breeding with NegaVerse denizens though this remains unproven. Scholars debate this theory as breeding in the Galactik Civilization is a complicated affair that would translate badly into a cross-breed.
Genetic Stabilization & Space Conflicts
After the fall in the popularity of basketball, most of the peaches lost work and went into poverty where they starved to death. However, a large number of the lighter skinned peaches managed to organize crime rings, surviving off of bank robberies, money laundering, and other forms of crime. This had the result of stabilizing the peach genome. They are still mutants in the rest of societies eyes, but they are also now a distinct peach race.
Around R. 2,007, the peaches entered the long-lasting space conflicts which had been started in R. 1,999 and managed to take over the entire Rayball Army. Although it is not the largest faction, the Rayballs are very powerful, and this infiltration of their military has given the Peaches a strong foothold in their rise to power.
Prejudice & Discrimination
Although they were once celebrated as professional basketball players, the Peach Mutations today are regarded by the rest of the Galactik Civilization as a blight upon society. They are treated by most factions as an enemy which must be exterminated with the same contempt and fury as that which they direct towards the dark forces of the NegaVerse. Violence against the Peaches has steadily increased in frequency and intensity. Entire star systems ban the Peach mutations from entering their space, and wage genocidal wars against them, such as the infamous Assyrian Peach Extermination campaign. Whether the Peaches will be exterminated or gain a place they can call their own in the Galactik Civilization is still up in the air.
Combating Discrimination Through Force
The Peaches have responded by rallying around their own leaders and with the might of their armies such as the United Peach Alliance (or UPA), forming their own space forces under the leadership of great warriors such as RoC77. More recently they have been performing their own, twisted genetic experiments on yellow minifigs. There have been cases when the original smiling faces of yellow minifigs and the smirk of Han Sodo have been seen among the Peach forces. These are no doubt super-soldiers of the Peach forces made from tortured Yellow minifigs.

Liverpool have agreed a fee believed to be in the region of £20m for Saints defender Dejan Lovren.
The Croatian centre half has long been angling for a move to Anfield, after the Premier League runner-ups' interest in him was revealed.
At one point, he even threatened to not return to Staplewood following the World Cup in a bid to force through the move to Liverpool.
Manger Ronald Koeman said last week that he was prepared to let Lovren go if the Reds met Saints' asking price, as he did not want players at Southampton who did not want to be there.
He will be the third Southampton player to swap the South Coast for the North West this summer, following in the footsteps of Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana.
In total, Liverpool have paid Saints around £49m for the three players, which is half of the total outlay Brendan Rodgers has put on seven new signings.
Lovren joined Saints from French side Lyon for a fee of £8.5m last summer.
It is understood he will undergo a medical tomorrow before finalising the move.

The Supreme Court has agreed to review a First Amendment dispute over whether the United States can force private health organizations to denounce prostitution as a condition to get AIDS funding.
The justices said Friday they will hear the government's appeal of a lower court ruling that found the anti-prostitution pledge, in a provision of federal law, violated the health groups' constitutional rights.
At issue is the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003. It requires groups seeking federal money to announce publicly that they oppose prostitution and sex-trafficking.
The government often attaches conditions to the receipt of federal funds, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said the law went well beyond what is permissible.
Four organizations that work in Africa, Asia and South America filed a constitutional challenge to the law in 2005. A federal judge sided with the groups and a 2nd Circuit panel affirmed that ruling in a 2-1 vote. The majority said the rule doesn't merely force organizations to refrain from certain conduct, but also requires them "to espouse the government's viewpoint."
Appeals Court Judge Chester J. Straub wrote a dissenting opinion that pleaded for Supreme Court review in large part because another appeals court in Washington, D.C., upheld the provision at issue against a similar challenge.
In urging the justices to take the case, the Obama administration said the provision reflects Congress' view that sex trafficking and prostitution are serious factors in the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Some organizations advocate for a reduction in penalties for prostitution to prevent interference with outreach efforts. They also try to avoid controversial policy positions likely to offend host nations and partner organizations and the prostitutes whose trust they must earn to stop the spread of diseases.
Two groups - Alliance for Open Society International Inc., which runs a program in Central Asia to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS by reducing drug use, and Pathfinder International, which provides family planning and reproductive health services in more than 20 countries - went to the courts after they adopted policy statements opposing prostitution in order to keep their eligibility for funding intact. Pathfinder did so even though it wishes to remain neutral on the issue or prostitution, the appeals court said.
The other two groups are Global Health Council and Interaction.
In arguing against Supreme Court review, the groups noted that the World Health Organization and other international organizations receive U.S funds to fight AIDS and do not have to comply with the anti-prostitution pledge. Indeed, the groups said in their legal papers, some of the international agencies support lesser penalties for prostitution as part of their AIDS-fighting strategy.
The case probably will be argued in April, with a decision due by the end of June.
The case is United States Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International, 12-10.

The immodestly named Perfecto Mobile has integrated its mobile app testing and quality solution into Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (TFS). The firm is a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program and so has integrated its "MobileCloud for TFS" technology into Microsoft's application lifecycle management tool.
Perfecto Mobile has developed cloud-based software designed to perform cross-platform app testing on "actual" mobile devices. In this case, the actual-factor means multiple devices on multiple carriers and in multiple geographies; i.e., not just on an emulator or VM.
This is intended to integrate both the execution and the reporting / tracking of test results into Team Foundation Server.
Director of the Microsoft Visual Studio industry partner program Tom Lindeman says that with the use of mobile apps and devices growing in business environments, enterprise software developers are looking for end-to-end mobile quality enablement capabilities in their ALM solutions.
Lindeman explains that "MobileCloud for TFS" enables manual and automated testing of mobile applications, and the management of these testing procedures directly from Microsoft TFS.
"This allows users to extend quality-related projects managed in Microsoft TFS into the mobile space including test execution, reporting, tracking, and collaboration," he said.
With MobileCloud for TFS, developers will be able to engage Agile mobile product deployments directly from Team Foundation Server with an efficient continuous integration process. They can manage and track mobile projects globally with a detailed reporting system, plus bridge tools and resources from the mobile space to Microsoft's ALM tools.
"[Developers] are recognizing that the software quality market has rapidly expanded into the mobile space," said Eran Yaniv, founder and CEO of Perfecto Mobile. "This collaboration continues our mission to enable true end-to-end quality of mobile engagement so that our enterprise customers can deploy our mobile products and services with confidence."

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The EU Commission wants to push ahead with the digital transformation of public administrations. In cep's view, cross-border eGovernment services facilitate the mobility of citizens and cross-border business operations. The once-only collection of data from companies and citizens increases the efficiency of public administrations.
The EU Commission will allocate Member States with national targets for reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) in sectors not subject to EU emissions trading (ETS) (e.g. transport and agriculture). It also proposes flexibility options which Member States can use to achieve their national targets.
Calculating redistribution in the European Union has so far been based exclusively on the EU budget. Its figures are used to determine the "net recipients" and "net contributors". In cep's view, this falls short. A comprehensive Study now shows which countries profited most from the redistribution instruments in the EU between 2008 and 2015.
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is an ecologically sound and economically effective instrument for climate protection. In cep's view, the ETS can only contribute to global climate protection if carbon emissions that are reduced in the EU are not simply moved to third countries (carbon leakage).
The EU Commission has proposed a change to the Directive on the registration of persons on board passenger ships. Reporting obligations will be adapted to new technological developments so that rescue authorities have immediate access to important personal data in an emergency.
In order to improve cross-border parcel delivery, the EU Commission proposes uniform information obligations for delivery services. In addition, obligations for universal service providers to report tariffs and terminal rates, an "assessment of affordability" of these tariffs by the regulatory authorities and network access obligations applicable to universal service providers vis à vis third parties are proposed.
In view of the changing media landscape, the Commission wants to revise the rules on the provision of audiovisual media services and video-sharing platforms. In this regard, it proposes the harmonisation of competition rules applicable to television programmes and video-on-demand services. In cep's view, this is appropriate because both media services are in competition with one another.
In addition to online sales of goods, the EU Commission also wants to boost the market for digital content and ensure that it can also be offered and acquired across borders. With the proposed Directive, it wants to fully harmonise the guarantee rights and other consumer rights in contracts relating to the supply of digital content and thereby remove legal uncertainty and promote sales of digital content.
The Commission wants to create a European Open Science Cloud, strengthen data infrastructure and invest in quantum technologies. A European Cloud, in cep's view, contributes to the efficiency and quality of research. Success, however, depends on information actually being put in the Cloud.
The European Commission wants to speed up the digitisation of European industry and calls, inter alia, for an EU-wide network of "Digital Innovation Hubs". These will help small and medium-sized enterprises, in particular, to develop digital innovations more easily. In cep's view, public funds should not be channelled into such "Hubs".

Time On Your Side
The gap between embedded systems and desktop systems is lessening. Sure, there are often bits of high-performance code in an embedded system (although, desktop systems are getting pretty performance oriented on audio and video processing). Many embedded systems are turning to Linux to handle networking, GUIs, and other tasks usually found on desktop systems. The popularity of low-cost Linux platforms like the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Bone hasn't hurt either. There's even an increase in interest in AMP (Asymmetric Multiprocessing), where a multicore processor will run Linux on some cores and some traditional RTOS on the others.
To paraphrase an old Army saying, when you want to get something done, there's the right way, the wrong way, and the UNIX way. If you aren't an experienced UNIX/Linux user, you may wind up reinventing the wheel when you need to perform some task. That's why I wanted to talk a little about how things work on a typical system that might be of use in an embedded Linux system.
What brought this to mind was a piece of code I recently was asked to examine. There was nothing wrong with it per se, but it wasn't necessarily very efficient. The program needed to do something every 15 minutes. It didn't have to be that precise, either. It just needed to wake up periodically and take a few data samples to send over the network.
The programmer simply put the program in a loop watching the time. That works, of course, but it does eat up resources unnecessarily. Sleeping would have been a little better since the operating system would suspend the calling process until it was time to run.
However, you can do even better that. The key is to use the cron facility provided by nearly all UNIX and Linux systems. The idea behind cron is simple: Each user has a protected file (a crontab) that has a line for each job the system should launch at a particular time.
The file is hidden away in the system, so you can't edit it directly as a regular user. Instead, you should use one of the following commands:
crontab file crontab –e
The first command replaces your current crontab with a new one. The second lets you edit the file interactively. If you want to see what's already there you can use the
–l option and to remove your crontab, you can use
If the /etc/cron.allow file exists, your user ID has to appear there or you won't be able to use cron. There is also (possibly) an /etc/cron.deny file, which lists users who are not allowed to use cron. Of course, root can always use cron regardless.
A crontab file can have two kinds of active lines. You can assign environment variables in the way you expect:
This is just like setting an environment variable. However, note that you don't get any replacement like you do in the shell, so the following command won't behave the way you expect:
The other type of line that can appear are lines with six fields separated by spaces or tabs. The fields are in this order: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, and command.
It might seem odd that you'd specify the day of the month and the day of the week. In reality, you'd rarely specify both (if you do, the command runs when either field matches, which isn't usually very useful). You can use an asterisk for any field to indicate that any value matches. For example:
0 12 1 * * dayone_command
This line runs
dayone_command at 12:00 on the first of every month. You can also specify lists and ranges:
0,5,10 0-4 * * * a_command
This rule runs
a_command between midnight and 4am at 0 minutes after the hour, 5 minutes after the hour, and 10 minutes after the hour. There are some other special rules. For example, you could rewrite "0,5,10" as 0-10/5. You can use the same trick after an asterisk. For example "*/2" in the hour field indicates every two hours.
Month and day of week can also handle names (but not lists or ranges of names). So you can say, "Jan" for January (or, for that matter, you can spell it out — cron only looks at the first three letters). If you use numbers for the day of the week, both 0 and 7 represent Sunday.
The command runs all the way to the end of the line. If you need to use multiple lines, the percent character (%) stands in for a newline (unless you escape it with a backslash; then it is just a percent sign).
Cron also takes some special strings that stand in for the first five fields if you want to use them:
@midnight, and @hourly. These all mean what you think (well,
@reboot means when cron starts) and all except
@reboot can be duplicated by using the right values in the regular fields.
Like most Linux files, the # character indicates a comment. There is a system-wide crontab at /etc/crontab that uses almost the exact syntax except the 6th field is a user name and then the command to run. Many systems have default entries in this crontab that will run scripts hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly if they appear in /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, and /etc/cron.monthly, respectively. Having a program write a script into these directories is an easy way to use cron from a program.
The system crontab that sets these up looks like this:
SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin # m h dom mon dow user command 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
Remember, these have the user name because it is a system-wide crontab. Modern versions of cron also look for system crontabs in /etc/cron.d.
There is also a similar program called anacron that can be used instead of cron (although it relies on cron, so it doesn't actually replace it). This is very similar to cron, but it understands that the system may not be on continuously. The rules use a delay form instead of an absolute runtime and can't run tasks any faster than once a day, so the file format isn't the same as cron. There are other cron replacements, including fcron, dcron, cronie, and Vixiecron.
Another alternative, if you are interested, is the possibility of using a remote cron job to cause an action on your system via the network. You could use a "cloud-based" service like https://www.setcronjob.com/, http://www.onlinecronjobs.com/, or http://www.easycron.com/ or you could use cron on a remote Linux box and have it execute commands on the embedded system using ssh or some other mechanism.
If you want to try cron, you might enjoy the cron translator, which converts a cron date/time specification to English or this site, which takes the same input and shows you the next few dozen times a cron job would run given a particular date/time specification.
So while my friend's code worked by looping for 15 minutes, he might have been better off writing a simple program to do the job he needed and exiting. Then cron would launch the program every 15 minutes. If you have enough resources, of course, it probably doesn't matter at all. However, if you are fighting to squeeze features into a tiny embedded system, you have a trade to make. If you need cron anyway, the incremental cost of using it will be tiny, if not zero. The cost of having a process running or even sleeping for a long duration will probably be higher. If you could convince yourself you don't need to run the cron daemon, then that might be a different decision, depending on your overall system.
