--September 27, 2012.
There's nothing like the sound of crunching wood, especially when it's combined with a chorus of shattering windows, the dull throb of a back hoe's engine, and the squeaking sound of a big shovel as it digs methodically into the side of a building.
That was the sound heard at the Colby-Curtis Museum in Stanstead first thing on Monday morning, as a demolition crew got to work destroying the hundred-year-old solarium on the south side of the building.
The Stanstead Historical Society is now proceeding with the costly but long overdue restoration (or rather replacement) of the closed-in sun room, a part of the building that had been rotting away, and unusable in winter, for years.
Harry Isbrucker, a member of the museum board of directors, says that the project had been postponed a number of times over the years due to lack of funds. A recent anonymous donation of $200,000, however, is finally allowing the museum to go ahead with the work on the sun room, he says.
The plan, according to Isbrucker, is to replace the old solarium with a structure that is similar in appearance and design, but built according to modern standards, properly insulated, suitable for use as a tea room and other functions, and usable year-round. Once completed – later this fall, Isbrucker says – it is hoped that the new solarium will last for another century of so. Construction is slated to begin shortly.

ScotlandJS : a conference for the office techie
At the end of last week I had the privilege of attending ScotlandJS, a conference (held in the fabulous Summerhall dissection theatre) for the Javascript Community of Edinburgh and beyond. With roughly 100 attendees, many of whom have a deep knowledge of this increasingly popular programming language, and 18 speakers presenting on quite a broad range of topics, I sometimes felt that my brain was being dissected.
Thursday kicked off with a passionate talk about the origins of the Javascript community and the conferences (like ScotlandJS) that help connect it. Delivered with energy and humour, it was an interesting presentation (sprinkled with a few rants) that highlighted the variety of backgrounds, careers, and experience levels of Javascript-ers, all of whom are joined together by a common and powerful language.
The presentations throughout the remainder of the conference ranged in their relevance to my own work. Even the less obviously applicable topics contained kernels of useful information though: approaches to problems, methods of code construction, best practices and useful programs, libraries and frameworks. Some of the talks tended toward the anecdotal while others were far more technical in nature, diving straight into complex code examples that were way over my head.
One presentation I particularly enjoyed was an introduction to the Bacon.js Javascript library. Though I may or may not eventually make use of this resource (I was pondering different applications for it throughout the talk), the simple and clear description of some of its core features (making use of live examples and clever visualisations) was extremely helpful for getting my head around the concepts that were discussed.
On a side note, though I did enjoy mingling with the many friendly and intelligent attendees, I was faced with one disappoinment: of the 100 seats on the floor, only 6 or 7 of them had women sitting in them. I was expecting a disparity in the number of male and female conference-goers, but not quite that drastic a difference. I know that female programmers make up more than 10% of the field, and it was a shame to see a better representation at what was really a great conference. Maybe next time there will be more of us…

Forum Post: Sheriff Joe Arpaio suggests Obama's birth certificate is a forgery...
Posted 8 years ago on March 1, 2012, 6:17 p.m. EST by nytefury
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, announced Thursday that his six-month investigation had found that "probable cause exists indicating that forgery and fraud may have been committed" in the release of President Obama's long-form birth certificate. The publicity-hungry Arpaio, a strong opponent of illegal immigration who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff," said the evidence gathered by his investigators suggests Mr. Obama's birth certificate and selective service registration card are fakes.
"Based on all of the evidence, I cannot in good faith report to you these documents are authentic," Arpaio said at a press conference in Phoenix, adding that his "investigators believe that the long form birth certificate was manufactured electronically and that it did not originate in the paper format as presented by the White House."

St Jame's Palace, HSBC Bank
Long the home of many of the most famous kings and queens of England, St. James's Palace was built by King Henry VIII between 1531 and 1536. Even today, the palace is still actively used by the British royals.
This magnificent brick palace became the principal royal residence in 1702 when Whitehall Palace was destroyed by fire and Queen Anne moved to St. James. Even today, it's still the "official" residence of the sovereign, even though Buckingham Palace became the new chief residence after Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837. Many ceremonial court functions continue to be held here. Source: aviewoncities.com

I often get inspiration from food shows such as "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and "Man Vs. Food", which means that I often use the Pressure Cooker, a potentially healthy method of cooking, to make junk food (though I contend that it is still healthier than some of the other methods of preparing such things). One such inspiration was when Adam Richman, of Man Vs. Food was visiting Ted's in Connecticut, whose specialty is Steamed Cheeseburgers.
Since there is an entire country between where I live in SoCal, and Ted's on the East Coast, I figured I wouldn't be able to visit there any time soon, especially considering that I was craving a steamed cheeseburger now. Oddly enough, my home kitchen is not outfitted with a special cheeseburger steamer, but I started thinking, which is often a dangerous proposition, "Hmmm… I don't have a special cheeseburger steamer, but I do have one of the finest means of creating steam in existence – my pressure cooker!" And while I was at it, I got the inspiration to combine the steamed cheeseburgers with the sliders that are dear to my heart thanks to my mid-west upbringing, and besides, sliders would fit better in the pressure cooker.
Once I had my plan in place, I headed to the local Trader Joe's to pick up the necessary ingredients – a pound on 80/20 ground beef, a hunk of sharp cheddar, and Trader Joe's mini hamburger buns along with a couple sweet potatoes to make an accompaniment of homemade sweet potato chips.
That evening I gathered the ingredients and got to work preparing vittles for myself and the S.O.
I had a pound of meat and 8 buns, so it didn't take a genius to figure out that I would make 8 2-ounce burgers. I got out my trusty kitchen scale and started forming the balls. After the first one, it was easy to grab 2-ounce pieces. Sometimes I wish I hadn't gotten a scale that so closely resembles my iPad. Often is the time I have nearly slapped a slab of meat down onto my iPad, only to catch myself in time and exclaim "Oh, crap!", except for the time it was a fish and I exclaimed "Oh, carp!"
With steamed cheeseburgers, the cheese is melted in a separate container along with the burgers. It took a bit of kludging, but I managed to rig up a makeshift burger steamer using a stainless steel pressure cooker insert, a tripod and a mini cocotte which came as a bonus with my Staub dutch oven.
The eight burgers were a tight fit, but I got them all in, and using the tripod and cocotte, I suspended the cheese container above the burgers.
For the steaming liquid, I used one of my favorites, beer (it's not just for drinking anymore). I used Anchor Steam, a California favorite, simply because that's what I had on hand
I turned on the burner, locked the top on the cooker and let it get up to full pressure.
I kept it at full pressure for five or six minutes before removing it from the heat. I did a quick release and opened 'er up. There I gazed upon eight succulent slabs of deliciousness, and a container of gooey, melty cheese.
The secret to sliders is to not try to pile much onto the tiny buns. I opted for a pickle slice, a few diced onions and some thousand island dressing.
Although I had used the trick of making an indent in each patty to compensate for the burgers expanding in the center, some of them still bore an uncanny resemblance to meatballs. I will probably try to make them a bit flatter next time.
After I placed them on the buns, I spooned some of the melted cheese on top, placed them on the plate next to the homemade sweet potato chips (which were quite tasty, despite the burn marks on my arm), and dug in.

Thomas Muller Names Brazil Among World Cup Favourites
Germany star Thomas Muller says that Brazil are with Germany amongst the favourites for
this summer's World Cup in Russia.
Muller was part of Germany's 2014 World Cup winning team, scoring in the 7-1 humiliation of the Seleção in Belo Horizonte.
"Brazil has developed well. They have good young players and some new ones who are very good. But no team in the world is unbeatable.
"Football is a game in which anyone can win. Great teams can easily defeat each other. That's the difference for other sports. You can go to the Olympics and know that the US will win the title in basketball.
"Brazil was in the semifinal in 2014, so it was a good team. But in this sport, in the end, they had 20 bad minutes. Actually, 20 really bad minutes. And that was their problem."
His opinion is backed up by Bayern Munich teammate and Colombia star James Rodriguez, "Brazil always plays the role of winning the World Cup. There is a very strong squad that can become champions."

Urealms Landmarks - what are yours?
Recently in the Urealms Stream, Rob as mentioned several landmarks - The Final Talon, Tower of Ultimate Wizardry, Etc. If you could create Landmarks or places with the existance of magic and all that urealms stuff, what would they be?
Include as many creative ideas as you like!
Include as many creative ideas as you like!
One of my ideas is a mountain made up of magic mirrors. It's where the mirrors for bewitchingmirror and mirrorshield come from, and all the mirrors have different type of properties. Some only reflect physical objects, some are made of liquid, some turn the spell into a pinata, its freaking crazy. Like a gigantic magic mirror funhouse, but it's a giant mountain.
Glitter Bog. It would have bioluminesent micro crustasias in the water which was absorbed into the trees and animals, giving all things in this bog a magical, sparkling feel. It looks like it's one of those sparkly nail brushes which sparkle everywhere. It looks really magical, and it's more colourful and harsh on the eyes than the average bog.
Honestly the Cheese Biome sounds like something I could 100% get behind!
Danger island. A jungle island with a volcano in the middle of it which was secretly a dragon's lair that went down to the bottom of the sea. Then the dragons den exploded and instead of the island atlantising due to it's bottom disappearing the den being magic it propels the sea coming into it up onto the island propelling it into the sky. It's populated with ageless and ships unfortunate enough to be picked up by the water current.
The Tar Lake - in a very desolate, solitary area close to the sea, there is a massive tar pit, bubbling and warm and poisonous to ingest and touch. Gives off toxic fumes. You cannot breathe near the tar pit. Underneath the Tar Pit is a HUGE ageless spider den, Housing several venomburners and even the big boss venomburner. The spiders crawl out of the tar pit and dont have to breathe, as their ageless.
A place called the Impact Site. Nobody really knows what happened, but there is just a giant crater that has become almost a tourist attraction. The only strange thing about it would be the copious amounts of war debris strewn around the pit. Old armor, chipped swords, cracked shields. It would seem a large battle happened here many years ago... Perhaps over what created the crater? Nobody knows...
The Green Sea; a large forest of trees that shift and move in order to make traveling through it as difficult as possible. It is home to many beasts, a few primitive goblin tribes, and a rumored Ent Enclave though this has never been confirmed.
The Siffiran spiral: a mining site where the Silver for equipment like the Siffiran Silver hammer ( siffiransilverhammer ) and the Siffiran Silver Shield ( siffiransilvershield ) are extracted from. It's structured like a big hole in the ground with a massive spiral that goes far up from the middle of the hole. The Spiral acts like a lightning rod, dragging lightning strikes from the skies to it, and leading the energy from the storms to the silver in the ground.
Thunderheim: A place high in the mountains that houses devotees to Lightning and its power, whether they try to harness it or simply have an appreciation. The place is marred from the constant snowfall and wind, as well as the constant thunderstorms. Thanes make a point to visit here at least once in their life.
Dude, now that you bring it up. The history of Australia is really like a joke from a satire. Perfect fit for urealms. @Revoltman
Okagnoma Guild Hall, or any Magic University or school. I also like the idea of villages built along towering spires or very thin and tall mountains, and connected by bridges.
cool thread, we'll go through it next stream
I really like the idea of Kingedyo. Alternatively, it could be a city controlled by someone who has the curse of Medusa. Or better a city controlled by puppeteers controlled by a Medusa...I also like the idea of an abandoned Beenu facility where they try to cryogenized some of their kind, but where something gone wrong and they are all dead. Maybe because of something infection like...
A forest of Fungus, small and large, mushrooms and spores. Could be the home of the Shroom Trents and whoever created them.
Also, a living Biome of some kind; be it a Desert or a Jungle, every part of it is a part of one sapient mind that doesn't really like to communicate much, and actively tries to kill those that enter it.
The believer night club. One of the Nisovins made a night club where they can write all of your wildest, and weirdest fantasies into reality. In exchange you also are written into a book and saved in a library that believers cant enter, just incase they need your image for someone else's fantasy. It could be used to demonstrate how the Nisovins control believers.
i have a place in my current champagne called Gag Lake, it is a lake made from Porc vomit that is large enough to have a small island in the middle with a population of a thousand porcs. they made the lake when they got a suggestion to build a moat in order to better defend the village from some gnomes but the porcs not having large water supply nearby used vomit, but they forgot to build a bridge so they are forced to swim to the main land in order to find food. but they also often take pigs as food so when they try to swim back with the pigs it turns in to a porc, increasing the population and making the problem worse.
The manor of a elf who have the cruse of Medusa and used those under their charm to work for them as a slave labor force
A massive blood snake den or pit, along shoreline. Thousands of blood snake queens. They produce so much blood that the ocean water within a massive radius it is red with blood. On the map you would just see a red spot on the ocean from this.
you could also have a massive kraken sized blood snake that lives there and sometimes attacks nearby ships by constricting them.
also if you wanted you could have intelligent blood snake queens doing whatever, pirating ships. Making it a cult, or whatever.
The Red Gill: A large canyon similar to the real-life grand canyon, but instead of water being the mechanism for it being carved out, it was a massive current of air that to this day rushes through it. Some elves wishing to be left alone carved a city into the side of the canyon. The most common cause of death is being swept out into the canyon, and due to this many of the worlds best flying mages come from the city; despite the high concentration of levitating magicians and air walkers, such magic is useless when the wind slams you into the canyon's red walls.
MT Willakers is a must. But for something original I would be temples of worship to each of the gods. A pantheon per say seeing as with all the gods I am a bit surprised there isn't a united elven church behind them all. I would also note a few other branch paladin orders. I could think of a lot here soon.
The Mirage Sands
A large Desert made of black sand and ash, shrouded in frequent sandstorms and a maze of canyons. Its known for Malicious Magical Mirages, that lure unsuspecting Prospectors, Treasure Hunters, Adventurers, ect. to their doom with false hoods and deceit. At its center is a Black Granite Plateau, where a temple is carved into the rocks itself, its name forgotten by time, but within lies a treasure and a Monolith that has been rumored to answer any question it is asked.

Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill, 2911 Vineland Rd, Kissimmee, FL. More locations.
Smokey Bones bbq has always been a good place to eat. They came out with a Late-Night menu that worked into my schedule on a Saturday night to make a visit. Great prices and nice choices that last from 10pm until close every evening. I like eating at their bar. A large wrap around bar with a multitude of TV's, some hi-top tables and booths are available as well as their dining room.
I'm pretty finicky when it come to burgers, but theirs never disappoint. The LN menu offers a 1/2 lb Premium Burger with cheese, none of the others are offered on this menu, but for 7 bucks, I don't need avocado and bacon. They are cooked to order and I love that. Let's add Smoked Wings $7.00, and the Loaded Cheese Fries $5.00. A beer seems the perfect pairing for this mix, and they were having a special, $2.95 for a Blue Moon. Score!
The cheese fries came first and dang, they looked amazing! A hefty amount of seasoned French fries covered in cheddar jack cheese, bacon, chipotle mayo, sweet BBQ glaze, green onions, tomatoes, and ranch dipping sauce. Yes, it could be an entire meal and you'd be completely happy, just wash it down with beer and it's all good. My PIT (Partner in Crime) wasn't sure about the sweetness of the bbq sauce on it, but after a few bites, I had a hard time keeping up! Damn, I want some now…my is watering!
The chicken wings came and they were very good. I probably would have like them better naked, instead of the sweet glaze on them. I like to dip into my own sauce, because if you don't like their sauce, the whole plate is ruined. Nice hint of smoke though.
The burger arrived and it was cooked to perfection! Not many can get the Rare temp correct, but they mastered it. It has your basic sides, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles. I put some ranch dressing on it and it was on! Delectable burger. Lots of flavor and a tummy full of happiness.
Go to smokeybones.com and view their Late Night menu. It's a good one for late night noshing. Super specials throughout the week from their regular menu, lunch and dinner.
Their best Sammy is the Pulled Pork and it is on the menu for $6.00. You can't barely get a crappy fast food sandwich for that!

Recent headlines from West Coast press have sensationalized the possibility: "Seattle at risk of giant earthquake!"; "Scientists say it's possible that a massive earthquake off the Washington coast could cause the collapse of many buildings in Seattle"; "Seattle Skyline Could Collapse in Big Quake"; "Seattle Could Experience Megaquake In Near Future". Are these dire warnings over-hyped, like the recent Swine flu scare? Or should we take heed and prepare – just in case?
We inhabit a delightful blue planet, whose beauty can be hypnotic. It is easy to forget that the earth we call home can also be unpredictable and capricious. Sometimes, downright cruel.
From our warm couches, snuggled up to those we love, we watched the evening news as it brought home the devastating effects of massive earthquakes in Haiti and Chile.
Somehow, it seems unlikely that we could witness such a powerful natural disaster in our corner of the world, but recent scientific research suggests that the Pacific Northwest could be at greater seismic risk than earlier presumed, due to an accumulation of strain in the Cascadia Subduction Zone [aka, CSZ].
The Worst Earthquake on Record?
The Haitian earthquake measured 7.0 on the MMS scale. While not even close to being the worst earthquake on record, it was certainly catastrophic relative to human loss of life. Latest estimates claim that over 100,000 people perished. Think about the number of families that suffer, and that number is multiplied many times over.
The more recent Chilean earthquake measured an historically significant 8.8 on the MMS — in a tie for the fifth very largest quake on record. This quake was over 1000 [one thousand!] times more powerful than the horrific Haiti tragedy, based on exponential metrics.
Thankfully – perhaps due to the location and lack of density – only 1000 people lost their lives in Chile, even though the quake was much more powerful. Beyond the loss of life, however, over two million families have been broken and displaced from their homes.
These recent earthquakes, while certainly devastating in human terms, are not even on the same page as the 1960 'Valdivia Earthquake', which also occured in Chile. Measuring 9.5 on the MMS, the magnitude of this quake has not since been duplicated.
Because earthquake metrics are exponential, the power is greatly amplified with each tick on the scale. Scientists estimate that a 9.5 earthquake is the equivalent of 1,000 atomic bombs all detonating at the same time. The Valdivia quake was powerful enough to jolt the Hawaiian Islands – 5501 nautical miles away. The tsunami it generated raced across the Pacific Ocean and devastated the town of Hilo, with waves as high as 35 feet.
Where were you at 10:54 on 2.28.01?
Most of us Seattlites remember exactly where we were in the morning of February 28, 2001. However, in comparison to Haiti and Chile, the Nisqually was a pipsqueak – a measly 6.8 on the MMS, which lasted only forty seconds. Thankfully, relatively speaking, only one life and a billion dollars were lost in the Nisqually.
By comparison, the Northridge earthquake which occured on the San Andreus – caused over forty billion in damages, and the loss of 57 lives. The Nisqually was not even a flesh wound, in historical terms.
But try telling that to your friends that were saying last prayers, after having been thrown to the floor in turn-of-the-century masonry buildings Pioneer Square. Life flashes before you while hugging a table leg as if it were able to somehow save you from the end of the planet as you know it. The Nisqually rattled buildings and nerves, and it set the entire region on edge. It was dramatic, and it seemed like a wake up call at the time. But the question is, did we awaken to the need for preparation, or did we just hit the snooze button? …………….
The Cascadia Subduction Zone
The Pacific Northwest is home to what some geologists consider to be one of the most dangerous faults on the planet: the Cascadia Subduction Zone, aka Cascadia Megathrust.
The CSZ stretches over 600 miles, from northern California in the south, to British Columbia in the north. It is one of the most extensive fault systems in the world. Scientists believe that this fault ruptures every 300 to 500 years, producing some of the most powerful quakes on the planet.
The last time the CZC moved in a big way was on January 26, 1700. Geologists estimate that it was a magnitude approaching a 9.0 earthquake. It generated a powerful tsunami that flooded areas as far away as Japan.
Recent scientific study suggests that the Cascadia Subduction Zone may be storing up energy to be released in the next catastrophic earthquake – one that could rival the largest earthquake ever recorded. Recent computer simulations have shown a hypothetical magnitude 9 quake could shake the area for up to two to five minutes.
This would be strong enough to potentially cause the collapse of poorly reinforced or badly constructed buildings from British Columbia to Northern California, and it could severely damage many highways and bridges. A quake of this caliber would send tsunami waves rushing to shore in minutes.
What Do the Experts Say?
Brian Atwater, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Washington, recently told the Associated Press: "It's not a matter of if but when the next one will happen."
Chris Goldfinger, head of the Active Tectonics and Seafloor Mapping Laboratory at Oregon State University, recently told the Associated Press: "The Pacific Northwest has a long geological history of doing exactly what happened in Chile. There is an 80 percent chance the southern end of the fault off southern Oregon and Northern California could break in the next 50 years and produce a Megaquake."
Mark Murray, a researcher and professor from the UC Berkeley, recently told an audience of seismic experts that: "The Cascadia Subduction Zone [CSZ] is accumulating the type of strain that is periodically released in large earthquakes …the strain is accumulating everywhere along the CSZ, from Cape Mendocino to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and one cannot rule out the possibility that the entire CSZ could rupture in a major M9 [9.0 MMA] earthquake".
Thomas Heaton and Jin Yang, Caltech seismological scientists say that simulations at Caltech show such earthquakes, which last for more than 4 minutes and are dominated by low-frequency motions, would be exacerbated by the geography of the Seattle basin could cause severe damage among older high-rises built before building code changes made as a result of the 1994 Northridge earthquake, they said – particularly steel framed buildings with out-moded "brittle welds". [Newer buildings have been constructed to more rigourous structural standards].
Rob Witter, coastal geologist with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries says: "The amount of devastation is going to be unbelievable," …peopl aren't going to be ready for this".
How Soon Could This Happen?
The truth is that we honestly, dont really know. The media likes to put things in bold, black and white headlines, but here is the most salient fact: while geologic and earthquake science has advanced by light years in the last decade or so, we still do not have the ability to actually predict when earthquakes will occur.
There is no question that centuries of pent-up stress in the Cascadia Subduction Zone will eventually cause the plates to slip in a cataclymic way, but there is no way of telling if that will be in our lifetimes or centuries from now. It could happen tomorrow morning, or it could happen in another 100 years.
Are New Buildings Safer?
We sleep well at night because we know that modern western building codes are the model for the world. Recent advances in structural engineering and life safety systems help to ensure that structures can withstand anticipated lateral forces without fear of collapse or massive damage, and that occupants can safely exit buildings in the event of a natural disaster. Buildings that are built in accordance with newer building codes are certainly the safest, but older buildings need to be seismically reinforced in order to provide the proper measure of safety.
What Can We Do?
Recent scientific research coming out of the California Institute of Technology and other great think tanks is – at the very least, a wake up call for better preparation, and a reexaminiation of our current buiilding codes. There is no such thing as an earthquake proof building, but our technology is at a place where we truly can prevent the collapse of buildings and the loss of life.
The best thing we can do is to wake up to the fact that we live in an area that is indeed subject to occaisional seismic activity, and take steps to be prepared. There is a good chance that we wont see this in our lifetimes, but just in case, do yourself and your family a favor by preparing an emergency plan and stocking the normal and customary supplies- there is no downside to that plan! The FEMA website is a good resource for preparation … take a moment, right now, to download some good information, and get prepared: http://www.fema.gov/hazard/earthquake/eq_before.shtm .

Greetings from somewhere over Kansas or Nebraska or one of those flat, expansive states where, from what I can see, no one lives for miles and miles. Today is my first travel day with the company of Evita and we're traveling from St. Louis, Missouri, to Los Angeles, California for the next three weeks. I was in St. Louis in January with Flashdance, so I did most of the touristy stuff then, not realizing I'd be back for two weeks a few months later. I did return to the St. Louis Zoo because, well…I love zoos and that one is free (and quite excellent). I'm glad I went to the top of the Gateway Arch in January because it was closed for the first week or so of our stay because of the government shutdown, but I had an amazing view of it from my hotel window .There's nothing much more inspiring that looking out your window and seeing a national monument gleaming in the sun with the Mississippi River flowing beneath it.
I got to spend some time with friends from college and even a former co-worker from New York who relocated to St. Louis a couple of years ago. I was taken out to lunches and treated to a fantastic game night of "Cards Against Humanity" that made all of us laugh so much that we had to take a break – and some Aleve – because our faces hurt. This is what touring's about for me – reconnecting with the people that matter in my life.
Of course, it's also about experiencing the city in which you happen to be working. Because I had already done pretty much everything I wanted to do in St. Louis the first time I was there, I had to find new things to do. I don't remember how I discovered it, but I learned that St. Louis was the city in which the events occurred that inspired "The Exorcist." In 1949, in a small house in a lovely little suburb of St. Louis, a Jesuit priest performed an exorcism on a teenaged boy. The exorcism took over a month and actually was performed in multiple locations, including a hospital at St. Louis University, but the house is the only remaining building associated with the event, so of course I had to do a drive-by to check it out.
My first time seeing "The Exorcist" was in graduate school. The film was being re-released and for the first time, some cut material was being shown, including the famous spider walk down the stairs. My friends and I went to a late showing and we arrived to find the theater absolutely packed with people. We ended up having to sit in the third row, which is way too close in my opinion, but it was the only available option. I had a hard time getting into the film because the four guys in front of us were distracting me. One guy was on his phone through most of the movie, actually answering it and saying, "I'm at a movie! Listen…can't you hear it?!" as he held the phone up to the screen. His neighbor had put his arm around him and was lighting the tips of the next guy over's cornrows on fire with his lighter. Anytime anything remotely gross or disturbing happened, they shouted at the screen and then would laugh at themselves or the people sitting around them. Who could focus with all that going on? There was also a baby crying somewhere behind us. Yes…an infant at a midnight showing of "The Exorcist." When security finally asked the mother to leave the theater, someone in the back row started clapping, which led the mother to come back into the theater with the baby in her arm and she started threatening to fight people. There were a good three or four minutes of shouting back and forth before security finally dragged her out of the building, so I missed a lot of what was going on. But if I have to be honest, the parts that I did see I thought were hilarious. Her spinning head and the awful things poor little Linda Blair had to say and do. I simply didn't get why people thought it was the scariest movie ever made. When the movie was first released, people actually fainted and threw up during the movie out of fright and shock. I didn't get it.
I was not brought up Catholic and in my church we were taught that miracles and demon possessions didn't happen anymore, so the very idea of demonic possession was as frightening to me as the idea of an alien invasion. I thought the movie was fairly shocking, but because I didn't believe it, I couldn't be afraid of it. After falling into a YouTube "Exorcist" wormhole late one night and watching video after video and reading article after article about the Exorcist House, though, I felt a little uneasy driving up to it. I don't think my belief about possession has changed, but…you don't want to tempt fate, right?
The neighborhood is quite unassuming and, honestly, so is the house, but there's something very creepy about the place – especially the upstairs window of the room where the exorcism supposedly occurred. I was surprised to see a car in the driveway – I don't know why I was surprised that people live there, but I suddenly felt very awkward coming to gawk and take pictures of their house – the house where the Devil slept, as it is called in some news articles. I have a healthy appreciation of the macabre and I can totally appreciate and understand spending the night in the Lizzie Borden murder house or spending a weekend in Salem, Massachusetts, but living in the house where the Devil may or may not live…? That's a bit much for me. And surely they must be bored with all the gawkers like me who want to see "The Exorcist House." In any case, I took a couple of pictures and got the heck out of Dodge. That night I went home and downloaded "The Exorcist" and watched it alone in my room. I still think "The Silence of the Lambs" is far scarier because I know that there are crazy cannibalistic murderers out there in the world, but I have a healthier appreciation for "The Exorcist" now, too. I still can't imagine it making me want to vomit, but it did give me a great idea for a Halloween costume…

As far as I know 7.0.3 was released yesterday, so I tried today to upgrade some wE installations, but 7.0.3 doesn't appear in the list of the offered versions. The most recent version I see is 7.0.2.
Besides that, if I have another language installed (in my case EN) I get the following error:
Upgrade to v7.0.3

Re: Upgrade to v7.0.3
It seems that I can see v7.0.3 upgrade option only when I enable pre-release versions.
Re: Upgrade to v7.0.3
this is due, that what had disabled this version temporary. It is now again under active.

Alzheimer's disease: Stages, Diagnosis, Symptoms, & Treatment
Alzheimer's disease may be a progressive, disorder that attacks the brain's nerve cells, or neurons, leading to loss of memory, thinking and language skills, and behavioural changes. These neurons that turn out the brain chemical, or neurochemical, neurotransmitter break connections with different nerve cells and ultimately die. For example, short-term memory fails when Alzheimer's disease initial destroys nerve cells within the hippocampus, and language skills and judgment decline once neurons die within the cerebral cortex. Two kinds of abnormal lesions clog the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease: Beta-amyloid plaques—sticky clumps of supermolecule fragments and cellular material that form outside and around neurons; and neurofibrillary tangles—insoluble twisted fibres composed mostly of the protein letter that builds up within nerve cells. Though these structures are hallmarks of the disease, scientists are unclear whether or not they cause it or a byproduct of it. Alzheimer's disease is that the most common reason for dementia, or loss of intellectual function, among people aged sixty-five and older.
Stage of Alzheimer's Disease
Mild stage of Alzheimer's Disease
- Forget words or misplace objects
- Forget one thing they just read
- Raise identical question over and over
- Have increasing bother preparing or organizing
- Not bear in mind names once meeting new people
Moderate stage of Alzheimer's Disease
- Increased cognitive state and confusion
- Problems recognizing family and friends
- Continuously continuance stories, favourite needs(e.g., foods, places, songs, etc.), or motions
- Decreased ability to perform complicated tasks(e.g., planning dinner) or handle personal finances (e.g., paying bills)
- Lack of concern for hygiene and look
- Requiring help in selecting correct consumer goods to wear for the day, season, or occasion
Severe stage of Alzheimer's Disease
- Recognize faces, however, forget names
- Mistake a person for somebody else
- Delusions—such as thinking he/she has to attend work — might set in, albeit he/she no longer includes a job
- there's a powerful need for holding one thing close for tactile stimulation, nurturing, fellowship and comfort
- Basic skills like eating, walking, and sitting up fade throughout this period; the individual might not recognize once he's thirsty or hungry and can like help with all basic activities of daily living.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
- Symptoms are divided into two categories: psychological feature, or intellectual, and psychiatric.
- Differentiating them is very important in order that behavioral problems that are caused by loss of psychological feature functioning don't seem to be treated with antipsychotics or anti-anxiety medications.
- Cognitive, or intellectual, symptoms are memory loss, aphasia, apraxia and agnosia (the four As of Alzheimer's).
- Amnesia is defined as loss of memory, or the lack to recollect facts or events. We've got 2 kinds of memories: the short-term (recent, new) and long-term (remote, old) reminiscences. Short-term memory is programmed in an exceedingly a part of the brain referred to as the temporal lobe, whereas long-term memory is kept throughout intensive nerve cell networks within the temporal and parietal lobes. In Alzheimer's disease, short-term memory storage is broken first.
- Aphasia is that the inability to communicate effectively. The loss of ability to talk and write is named expressive aphasia. An individual could forget words he has learned and can have an increasing problem with communication. With receptive aphasia, a private could also be unable perceive to know to grasp} spoken or written words or might read and not understand a word of what's read. Generally, an individual pretends to know and even nods in agreement; this is often to cover-up aphasia. Though people might not understand words and grammar, they will still understand non-verbal behavior, i.e., smiling.
- Apraxia is that the inability to try and do pre-programmed motor tasks or to perform activities of daily living like brushing teeth and dressing. An individual might forget all motor skills learned during development. Sophisticated motor skills that need in-depth learning, like job-related skills, are the primary functions that become impaired. A lot of natural functions like chew, swallowing and walking are lost in the last stages of the illness.
- Agnosia is a person's inability to properly interpret signals from their five senses. People with Alzheimer's disease might not acknowledge familiar individuals and objects. A typical however usually unrecognized agnosia is that the inability to appropriately understand visceral, or internal, info like a full bladder or chest pain.
- Major psychiatric symptoms include personality changes, depression, hallucinations, and delusions.
- Personality changes will become evident in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Signs include irritability, apathy, withdrawal, and isolation.
- People might show symptoms of depression at any stage of the illness. Depression is treatable, even in the latter stages of Alzheimer's disease.
- Psychotic symptoms include hallucinations and delusions that typically occur within the middle stage. Hallucinations usually are auditory and/or visual, and sensory impairments, like hearing loss or poor eyesight, tend to extend hallucinations within the aged.
- Hallucinations and delusions are terribly upsetting to the person with the illness. Common reactions are feelings of worry, anxiety, and paranoia, in addition to agitation, aggression, and verbal outbursts.
- People with psychiatric symptoms tend to exhibit a lot of activity issues than those while not these symptoms. It's vital to acknowledge these symptoms in order that applicable medications are prescribed and safety precautions are taken.
- Psychotic symptoms will typically be reduced through the carefully supervised use of medicines.
- Clinicians will currently diagnose Alzheimer's disease with up to ninety percent accuracy. However, it will only be confirmed by an autopsy, throughout that pathologists explore for the disease's characteristic plaques and tangles in brain tissue.
- Clinicians will diagnose "probable" Alzheimer's disease by taking a whole medical record and conducting science laboratory tests, a physical examination, brain scans and neuropsychological tests that gauge memory, attention, language skills, and problem-solving skills.
- Correct diagnosis is vital since there are dozens of alternative causes of memory issues. Some memory issues will be without delay treated, like those caused by vitamin deficiencies or thyroid issues. Alternative memory issues may result from causes that aren't presently reversible, like Alzheimer's.
- The earlier and correct identification of "probable" Alzheimer's is formed, the better it's to manage symptoms and arrange for the future.
Right now, there's no cure for Alzheimer's disease. Once someone starts showing signs – memory loss and issues with learning, judgment, communication, and lifestyle — there aren't any treatments which will stop or reverse them. But there are medicines which will ease a number of the symptoms in some individuals. They'll slow down however quickly the illness gets worse, and facilitate the brain work higher for extended. It's necessary to speak to your doctor regarding that choice may match best for you.
Which medication can help?
Some medicine curbs the breakdown of a chemical within the brain, known as acetylcholine, that's vital for memory and learning. They'll prevent how fast symptoms aggravate for concerning half people that take them. The impact lasts for a restricted time, on the average half-dozen to twelve months. Common aspect effects are typically gentle for these medications and embrace symptom, vomiting and nausea, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetency, and weight loss. There is 3 medicine of this type donepezil (Aricept), galantamine (Razadyne), and rivastigmine (Exelon).
- Aricept is that the only treatment approved by the authority for all stages of Alzheimer's disease: gentle, moderate, and severe. You'll be able to take it as a pill that you just swallow or that dissolves in your mouth.
- Razadyne (formerly referred to as Reminyl) is additionally for gentle to moderate Alzheimer's. You'll be able to get wise as a pill that works directly, a capsule that offers off the drugs slowly, and in liquid forms.
- Exelon is for those who have gentle to moderate Alzheimer's. You'll be able to wear a skin patch that has the drug or take it in capsules and in liquid kind.
- Memantine (Namenda) treats moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. It works by changing the quantity of a brain chemical referred to as glutamate that plays a job in learning and memory. Brain cells in people with Alzheimer's unwellness offer off an excessive amount of glutamate. Namenda keeps the amount of that chemical under control. It should improve however well the brain works and the way well some individuals will do everyday tasks. The drug may fit even higher after you take it with Aricept, Exelon, or Razadyne. Namenda's side effects include tiredness, dizziness, confusion, constipation, and headache.
- Namzaric. This drug could be a mixture of Namenda and Aricept. It is best for individuals with moderate to severe Alzheimer's World Health Organization already take the 2 medication one by one.
Scientists are searching for new treatments for Alzheimer's in clinical trials. These studies take a look at new medication to visualize if they'll slow the illness from obtaining worse or improve memory issues or different symptoms. They're additionally searching for different ways in which on the far side medication to treat the illness, like an Alzheimer's vaccine.
Many inhabited hoped that supplements like vitamin e, coenzyme Q10, coral calcium, and huperzine A might work well as treatments for the illness. But so far, there's no proof that they need any result. The results of studies on omega-3 fatty acids are mixed, and scientists do additional analysis to appear into their effects on Alzheimer's. Scientists still search for ways in which to diagnose Alzheimer's earlier, before symptoms seem, that might facilitate individuals begin treatment sooner.

Courtesy national newsletter
When the CCA published instructions on how to read an ingredient list now that the new labelling regulations have come into effect, we received a few messages from people who wanted to know why we did not include instructions to call the company to ask about possible contact with gluten during manufacturing or packaging. Some members were very upset that our instructions did not include that step.
The CCA does not advocate calling manufacturers to inquire about possible contact with gluten during manufacturing, except for flour products. In the last two years we have published a few articles describing concerns about possible gluten contamination of grains that are naturally gluten free during the milling process or gluten contamination of baked goods made in bakeries that also baked with wheat flour.
What about other products? Should you call the manufacturer about ketchup? Sausages? Chocolate bars? Lunch meat? Potato chips? Soup? Is gluten contamination during manufacturing a common problem? If you call a manufacturer, will you get useful information about the risks? Is it possible to make gluten-free products on shared equipment or in plants that use wheat products? Will the companies give you the information you need to make that decision? What information do you need to make the decision? Do the new labelling regulations change anything?
There are lots of questions to ask, but are there answers to these questions? This article begins an ongoing series trying to find the answers you need and will be published for members only in our regular email out.

Cleaning the Bottom
My clock says 5:36am and a book just fell on my head.
I am groggy since we moved the boat out to the sandbar at high tide last night and dropped anchor a little after 2am. I can hear Geoff on deck. Can't I just sleep a little longer? The boat lists sharply to the side and I know I can't. The books come down from the shelf into the bed and I walk down the middle of the boat, now at about 20-degrees, making sure everything else on the high side is secure. I grab breakfast and climb on deck.
Geoff is now below making sure everything in our cockpit lockers is secure. I hand him a granola bar and we settle in to wait.
5:50am, the port side of the boat settles onto the sand bar and the waves are no longer lifting it. We're at a 40-degree angle and Elli, the dog, is perturbed by the whole arrangement.
6:10am, the water is low enough for me to slide off the port side into just-above-the-knees water. It is surprisingly warm, even though the day has barely began. I grab the painters tape and wade around the boat to start marking off where we're going to be painting. The water goes down several inches while I work my way down the boat and the fiddler crabs crawl out of our thru hulls in droves. They seem to have no fear of me.
Once the boat is taped, we grab scrubbers and cleaner and begin to work. Two and a half hours later, our bottom is clean of growth (we'd had a diver pre-scrub it before we headed out, but we still had to get the rest of it off). We finished washing and acetone-prepping just as the water turned and started to flow back in.
Starting at the keel, we painted our way up. By the time we finished the keel and were on the hull, the water was back around my ankles. It took both of us to finish painting the hull, pull the painters tape, and put on the new blue stripe (which I didn't do a great job of since the boat was about to re-float and I'll have to fix).
By 10:30am, we were out of the water and waiting for the boat to level. I was down below on my computer, already working for the day. High tide came and we were able to motor back to the marina with half a painted boat.
Other half to be painted at the next dawn tide…

The Big Day!
You can now buy Ghost Notes and Songs from Memory at my Web site.
Woo hoo!
Yee haa!
I can't put into words what this means to me. The only thing I can compare it to is the feeling I had when the band released Wheelie, back in early December of 1994, walking through Yucca with a box of CDs on my shoulder, a roomful of eyes following me all the way to the back booth.
I got Wheelie feeling back!
Of course, these projects wouldn't have been possible without two very special people. My wife, Kel
Every artist needs his muse, and you'll find more than a little of Kel sprinkled lovingly throughout Ghost Notes and Songs from Memory. Kel is also the one person who read Ghost Notes over and over again, looking for everything from underdeveloped characters to awkward phrases to misplaced commas. Thank you for everything, honey.
The second person is my longtime friend and fellow Moline compatriot Bret Hartley
Bret took what was my idea of having a "single" for Ghost Notes and made it into a full-on CD. After what Bret did, I just hope people remember I wrote a book!
And you can hear one of Bret's many guitar-playing high points on the record this week at my MySpace Audio page. "I Don't Know Right Now" is a track we both kept making excuses to go back to in the studio, just because we wanted to listen to it again. (I'll have to write a blog one day about how the Meat Puppets brought the down-and-dirty out of this song.)
By the way, this is just the first of two release dates. The in-store release date is March 4, and all promotion starts on March 5 at Changing Hands in Tempe. After that, we've got confirmed dates--everything from readings to rock shows--in Phoenix, Denver, St. Louis, and Oklahoma City, and we hope to get many more as we move forward. I see these two babies taking me into October, and to both coasts. You'll get all event updates at this blog, but you can always check my Web site if you're curious. Click the Events tab on the left nav bar, and you'll have up-to-the-minute coverage.
For those of you who don't know, you can still get a peek of Ghost Notes at my Web site, too.
So, this is it. Buy Ghost Notes, or Songs from Memory, or Ghost Notes and Songs from Memory, and enjoy the read and the tunes. Don't hesitate to let me know what you think of both.
Think I'll break out the bass today and play some funkadelic. Who's comin' over?

CONGRATS...how exciting! I've had "You" on my MySpace page since you put it up. Can't wait to hear everything else and catch up with Hote.
I'm still a sucker for everything remotely related to the 90's Tempe scene...just wish I had been old enough to truly enjoy it!

Thank you, and thank you for linking to "You."
Luckily, we still have the tunes, eh?
- February 5, 2008 at 4:43 AM
Hey Art,
I really dig the cd,and i've read the book twice hope to see and hear more from you.Any chance you might make it any where on the east coast?Philly,New York,Or my area Scranton.

Twice?!? Sweet Jesus.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm shooting for a tour of the East Coast in June. Full Band. Plenty of law laid down.
Stay tuned.
- February 26, 2008 at 7:30 PM
hey art
me again in riverboat captain what is the last line when you say forbidden fruit... and i wondered why hote didnt sing that part in the book just wondering .
- February 27, 2008 at 4:27 PM
- Art Edwards said...
Hey, Mark.
I think I ran out of ideas for the other band members during the song. You know, he sings this and Betty does that. He sings that and Stu hits a cymbal. It felt more succinct to truncate the song a bit for the scene.
The forbidden fruit
Is there for the tastin'
So don't hesitate
Cuz time is a-wastin'.
(Oh yeah)
Who da thought that you and me would wind up racin'.
- February 27, 2008 at 7:23 PM
thanks for the reply,icouldnt figure out what the last word was i hope i get to see you live in june. my two sons age 19 and 14 lay down the law with there bands i always liked your playing.if you ever get a chance check out the kids myspaces
www.myspace.com/delayedreactionpa www.myspace.com/thelifetocomepa thanks again for a great cd and book

Constantine A. Stratakis, MD, D(med)Sci, PhD(hc)
Constantine A. Stratakis is recognized for his research, mentorship, and leadership and he remains an active clinician seeing patients with endocrine and genetic disorders. Over the last 25 years in his research, Dr. Stratakis has employed genome-wide tools to identify most of the genes known to predispose to adrenocortical tumor (ACT) and pituitary adenoma (PA) formation. His laboratory has identified the genetic defects for Carney complex, Carney Triad, the dyad of paragangliomas and gastric stromal sarcomas (a.k.a. Carney-Stratakis syndrome), and described new entities such as X-LAG (X-linked acrogigantism) and 3-PAs (the 3 Ps association of paragangliomas pheochromocytomas and PA). It was his identification of the protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit type 1A (PRKAR1A) as the gene responsible for Carney complex in 2000 that led to the identification of the PRKACA gene as the most commonly mutated gene in all benign ACTs in 2014. Dr. Stratakis described novel genes, such as GPR101 in gigantism, and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) defects in a variety of tumors, and led the efforts to show that many gastric stromal sarcomas (GIST) form due to SDH deficiency. He is the author of more than 700 publications, his work has been cited >25,000 times, and he served in major Editorial roles, including Deputy Editor, Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2010-2015) and co-Editor, Hormone & Metabolic Research and Molecular & Cellular Endocrinology (2016/7-today).

Introduction: DIY Mini Wooden Christmas Tree
Handmade Christmas decorations are one of the nice elements of Christmas celebrations.
In this short Instructable I'll show You my DIY mini Christmas Tree with lights.
Sorry for the quality of photos, but I was tried made it with the DIY spy glasses with camera;) Unfortunately, the quality is weak.
Materials needed:
- piece of wood or plywood (I used 30 x 50 cm)
- decoration paint, frozen spray for windows or glitter spray
- glue
- Christmas LED lights
Tools needed:
- drill
- jigsaw
Step 1: Inspiration & Design
Step 2: Transfer Cutting Lines to Wood
I draw lines just by hand with pencil. It came out a little differently than in the project.
Alternative is to print the template.
Step 3: Drilling Holes for Lights
This step is very important, You should fit the holes to dimensions of lights.
If the fit is correct, the lights do not need to be glued.
Step 4: Cutting
Step 5: Painting & Decorations
At the beginning, I tried to paint the tree with stain the wood and sprinkle with powdery glitter.
Unfortunately I wasn't happy with the result.
Finally I used artificial snow paint (frozen spray). The result was good.
Step 6: Installing Lights
Almost finish. The last step is to install lights.
WARNING: Check that the lights you install will not cause a fire.
I have used LED Christmas lighting, which does not emit heat and suited for installation on natural wood.
Step 7: Merry Christmas! ;)

Chief Roofing has specialists that will help walk you through the process of inspecting a roof. Whether you are buying and or selling a house, we can have one of our team's roof inspectors meet you on site to go over all aspects of a roof inspections. We offer three different types of inspections for our homeowners and clients:
- Verbal report
- Written report
- Written report with images
First, our verbal inspections are meant for those who just need a quick update on their roofs quality and condition. Second is a formal write-up that goes over the same quality and condition as a verbal, but is spelled out on a document to transfer that information to any party that desires it. Our last inspection report can be also presented to our customers with pictures, showcasing any issues on images that could not be seen without being on the roof. Whichever inspection you desire from Chief Roofing, we make sure that all of our customers leave with new knowledge and experience for the next time they encounter a roof.
