The new generation of Cisco Nexus series modular and fixed-configuration switches are designed to deliver the performance, scale, availability, virtualization support, security and manageability required to function as the heart of a world-class data center. Nexus switches include a broad product line that offers switching solutions across the core, aggregation layer, edge, data center interconnect (DCI), and SAN. Nexus switches incorporate advanced technologies from Cisco for supporting public and private Clouds, secure virtualization, WAN/LAN segmentation and convergence, and non-stop operation.
Progent's Cisco-certified Nexus switch consultants are available to provide remote and on-premises consulting services to help you plan an optimal switch topology to meet your unique business requirements, set up pilot systems to validate your network design, install and configure Nexus switches, define and implement appropriate policies, perform security vulnerability assessments, set up proactive monitoring, consolidate resources through virtualization, troubleshoot switching and routing issues, optimize performance, plan for expected growth, and set up the high-availability (HA) features available for Nexus switches. Progent can help you manage and troubleshoot older Nexus switches or migrate efficiently from outdated Nexus or Cisco Catalyst switches to current models of Nexus switches. Progent offers expertise with Cisco's NX-OS, IOS, and IOS-XE operating systems and can help you simplify and automate the management of your Cisco switch solution.
Cisco targets the popular Catalyst line of switches for campus and branch deployments where keys issues include user access management, application awareness, and converged wired/wireless operation. (See Cisco Catalyst Switch Consulting.) In contrast, Cisco's Nexus switches are optimized for the data center, which calls for SAN and LAN convergence, comprehensive virtual machine management, sub-microsecond latency, high capacity with seamless scalability, and advanced cloud security. Nexus switches are powered by Cisco's high-performance NX-OS operating system, which evolved from Cisco's proven SAN-OS software used in Cisco's MDS family of storage area network (SAN) switches. Support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) makes Nexus switches ideal for LAN and SAN network consolidation. Cisco most advanced Nexus switches can also operate in Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) mode, which supports development and operations (DevOps) teams by enabling automated, policy-based provisioning of the network, application services, security policies, tenant subnets, and workload placement.
A key feature of the NX-OS operating system is FabricPath, a technology that makes it possible to create highly scalable Layer 2 multipath Ethernet networks without the limitations and risks of the Spanning Tree Protocol. When deployed across multiple Cisco Nexus chassis, FabricPath creates a flat data center switching fabric that offers high switching capacity, equal-cost multipathing across all available paths for increased cross-sectional bandwidth, plus predictable, ultra-low latency. This makes it easy to build the advanced infrastructure needed to support large virtualization deployments, private clouds, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Nexus switches running NX-OS 4.1.3 or later support Cisco's vPC (Virtual Port Channel) technology. vPC allows you to establish a physical connection between any device that supports link aggregation technology (such as a server or switch) and two separate Nexus switches. The paired Nexus switches appear to the connected device as a single logical port channel. vPC provides fast failover protection without wasting Layer 2 bandwidth because it eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) blocked ports, instead allowing the paired switches to be active at the same time. Each of the two Nexus switches in a peered vPC domain processes half of the access layer traffic, In the event of a switch failure, the other switch automatically takes over all the traffic. This makes it easy for small organizations to design and deploy a high-availability switching solution where connected devices have two active, redundant paths to each switch.
Cisco's older generation Nexus 3000 Series switches are fixed-configuration platforms that provide dense 1 GE and 10 GE Layer 2 and Layer 3 top-of-rack (ToR) switching. Because they connect transparently to upstream Nexus switches, Nexus 3000 devices allow you to deploy end-to-end Cisco Nexus fabric in data centers. Nexus 3000 Series switches feature extensive programmability, easy manageability, comprehensive monitoring, wire-rate throughput for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic on all ports, and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans for high availability. This Nexus 3000 portfolio includes the entry-level Nexus 3000 line, high-density Nexus 3100 models, and the low-latency. Nexus 3500 series. Many of the models in the Nexus 3000 series of switches have reached end-of-life status. Progent continues offer advanced support for all Nexus models and also help you plan and carry out an upgrade to a current product.

Q: How to get React Native variant in Metro? I am developing React Native application that includes different configurations for different possible clients, in a file such as src/config/config.js. These configurations are quite complex. The file is structured based on the client name as key, and the values as the object entries, e.g.:
export default {
  fooClient: {
    apiUrl: "https://foo.example.com/",
  barClient: {
    apiUrl: "https://bar.example.com/"
  }
}

Of course, there are many other option keys.
When building the app, I know for which client I want to do this, by specifying an Android build variant, e.g.:
ENVFILE=.env npx react-native run-android --variant fooDebug --appIdSuffix foo

For security reasons, I don't want keys of other clients to be included in the config file though. What are my options to remove all other client configs from this file before I build the app and ship it to a client?
I thought about the following: I modify the packager so that it strips out the keys that do not correspond to the current build variant.
I now have a transformer plugin for Metro that does the following:
const upstreamTransformer = require('metro-react-native-babel-transformer');

module.exports.transform = function(src, filename, options) {
  if (typeof src === 'object') {
    // handle RN >= 0.46
    ({ src, filename, options } = src);
  }

  if (filename.endsWith('config.js')) {
    console.log('Transforming ' + filename);
    let srcStripped = src.replace(';', '').replace('export default ', '');
    let configObj = JSON.parse(srcStripped);
    // TODO: get the build variant and strip all keys that we do not need from configObj
    return upstreamTransformer.transform({
      src: 'export default ' + JSON.stringify(configObj) + ';',
      filename: filename,
      options
    });
  } else {
    return upstreamTransformer.transform({ src, filename, options });
  }
};

But how do I know which build variant is being used?
If this seems like an XY problem, I am happy to explore alternatives to building the configuration dynamically. I cannot, however, use environment variables, since the configuration will be too complex for it to be just a list of .env keys.

A: You shouldn't use Metro transform this way. It's not clean and it may lead to missing configuration and/or damaged syntax sooner or later.
What I have done and suggest you, is to create 3 different configuration files under src/config/; one file for fooClient.js, one file for barClient.js and one last file with common configuration client.js. All files will export default configuration objects, but inside each fooClient and barClient, you'll use deepmerge module to merge client.js config:
client.js:
export default {
  commonSettingA: "...",
  commonSettings: {
    ...
  }
  ...
}

fooClient.js:
import merge from 'deepmerge';
import config from './config';

export default merge.all([
  config,
  {
    apiUrl: "https://foo.example.com/",
  }
]);

barClient.js:
import merge from 'deepmerge';
import config from './config';

export default merge.all([
  config,
  {
    apiUrl: "https://bar.example.com/",
  }
]);

Then you can use an environment variable to pass the needed configuration and create a propriate metro resolve; @react-native-community/cli does not pass command line arguments to metro config script. You can use process.argv to parse it by yourself, but it's not worth it.
Here is how you can create a resolve inside metro.config.js using environment variable:
const path = require("path");

module.exports = {
  projectRoot: path.resolve(__dirname),

  resolver: {
    sourceExts: ['js', 'jsx', 'ts', 'tsx'],
    extraNodeModules: {
      // Local aliases
      "@config": path.resolve(__dirname, "src/config", `${process.env.METRO_VARIANT}Client.js`)
    }
  }
};

Using this resolve, you'll have to import the configuration like this:
import config from '@config';

Then you add 2 package.json scripts, one for fooClient and one for barClient:
{
   ...
  "scripts": {
    "run:android:foo": "METRO_VARIANT=foo ENVFILE=.env npx react-native run-android --variant fooDebug --appIdSuffix foo",
    "run:android:bar": "METRO_VARIANT=bar ENVFILE=.env npx react-native run-android --variant barDebug --appIdSuffix bar",
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Then you just run the needed script:
yarn run:android:foo # will build with fooClient.js

yarn run:android:bar # will build with barClient.js

A: Can't you just add a "duplicated" parameter to the command?
Like so
METRO_VARIANT=fooDebug ENVFILE=.env npx react-native run-android --variant fooDebug --appIdSuffix foo
And get it with process.env.METRO_VARIANT
You might not want to make your setup much more complex. Depending on the number of the number of different clients, you might wanna go with multiple schemas/variants per client, but that is probably way overkill.

Fabulous stay with a lovely attentive host.
We have stayed in quite fancy hotels with swimming pool and sauna at prices cheaper than this so I think the property is quite pricey, however it seems that Pitlochry in general is expensive so perhaps this is par for the course. Also don't like the fact that this is a cash only business.
This was a lovely base to spend an evening in Pitlochry. Communication from the outset was great with an email almost immediately, asking for our approximate ETA so that we could be met when we got there. Our hostess was nice and friendly without being pushy. Bed was really comfy - my wife is still asking why our bed at home can't be like that and I am still digesting the amazing breakfast 3 days later!


MISSISSAUGA, Canada, May 31, 2017 – Glasvan Great Dane (www.glasvangreatdane.com) is proud to announce that two of its employees were named winners of the Great Dane King Pin Awards for their exceptional sales achievements and for delivering outstanding customer experiences.
Great Dane recognized Glasvan sales representatives Tom Pepper and Adam Stevens for their sales excellence. This is Tom's ninth Great Dane King Pin win and Adam has been declared a five-time achievement earner. Five King Pin awards are given every year to a pool of 150 sales professionals in Canada, Mexico and central and south America, and only three people have ever been selected for the highest honour of winning a King Pin award nine times.
"I'm very proud to have won this award for the ninth time," says Tom Pepper, Sales Representative for Glasvan Great Dane. "The people at Glasvan always strive to go above and beyond by providing excellence to our clients in every interaction. In order for us to sell, we continue to provide the utmost in quality and customer satisfaction. My goal is to go beyond just selling the Great Dane product. My goal, along with everyone else at Glasvan, is to deliver on our promise of selling quality product and treating our customers with the highest level of integrity."
The King Pin awards for sales continue to be the most competitive among the Great Dane community and it has widespread adoption among the dealers. Every year, sales professionals who work for the North American Great Dane dealers are graded on their sales performance, their paper work, their overall disposition towards the people they work with, and going above and beyond customer expectations.
"The King Pin award means a lot in the Great Dane community, and I am truly honoured to be a five-time repeat winner," says Adam Stevens, Sales Representative for Glasvan Great Dane. "To me, this award signifies much more than just sales, and the fact that we won two this year out of five that are awarded every year, demonstrates that Glasvan's company values, collaborative culture and customer-centric approach speaks well to the people who buy the truck trailers. We truly pride ourselves in being aligned with our customers' needs."
The Kingpin awards program started in 1989 to recognize sales excellence in the category of direct sales national accounts among the salespeople who work with the Great Dane dealers in North America. Only five are given out among the 40 Great Dane dealerships every year, and they are Great Dane's top honors for sales professionals in the category of business development and customer service.
Glasvan Great Dane (www.glasvangreatdane.com) has been in operation since 1981. The company's philosophy of "Better Equipment. Better Service." has made them the highest volume Great Dane trailer dealership in the world. It also offers high quality new and used equipment from Autocar (shunts), Etnyre, Landoll and Chaparral. Glasvan operates from five southern Ontario locations with 27 service bays, 24,000 square feet of parts warehousing plus full sandblast and paint capabilities.

The Courts Administration Authority in South Australia issued a grim warning to fine evaders in 2000 with the suggestion that fines might be extracted through surgery. A surgeon is shown removing a driving license through a Mr Philip Nelson's nose, a wallet from his nostril, and a television, maybe even a car. "Pay Through The Nose" was so gruesome it was almost funny.
Pay Through The Nose was developed at Leo Burnett Robinson, Adelaide, by creative director Jim Robinson, art director Mark Busse and copywriter Strephyn Mappin.
Filming was shot by Nick Robertson via Radical Media, (now at Plaza Films) with director of photography Nick Mayo and producer Peter Kearney.
Post Production was done at Videolab, Sydney. Editor was Danny Tait at The Tait Gallery, Sydney. Eerie music was provided by Sound Reservoir, Sydney.


At the grim north end of London's Gower Street rises the sleek new glass-clad headquarters of the Wellcome Trust. Britain's largest independent research-funding charity, the Wellcome invests over £400m a year in medical research. Among other things, it enabled John Sulston, at the head of the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, to make the single largest contribution to unravelling the human genome. It is a bastion of British science.
Luring you in, however, is a piece of art – an elegant, scintillating coil of glass spheres falling through a 30-metre high vertical void, and suspended on almost one million metres of fine stainless-steel wire. Visitors to the building, which opens officially in early December, usually assume it must illustrate DNA, memorialising Wellcome's role in Crick and Watson's discovery. In fact, Thomas Heatherwick's astonishing sculpture does not refer to science at all. It is called Bleigiessen, the name of a new year tradition in central Europe where molten lead is poured into water, producing peculiar shapes from which you tell your fortune for the coming year. The sculpture is meant to render permanent the split second a drop of metal is let fall. The idea is all poetry, but its accomplishment was all science: the installation alone required the collaboration of architects, designers, art historians, a construction manager, a photographer and a rally driver. The finished structure is an appropriate blessing on the house of Wellcome, but it is also a potent example of the kind of cultural activity that the Wellcome Trust champions: sci-art, the marriage of science and art in the creation of pieces that owe their creation to both.
Wellcome has announced a £20m commitment to its public engagement with science, at the core of which is this crossover. But sci-art is a recent and still controversial phenomenon, seen by some as mere window dressing for an otherwise haughty and inscrutable scientific establishment, by others as a grant-grabbing exercise for artists of no distinction. The genre's most outspoken critic is Lewis Wolpert, professor of biology as applied to medicine at University College London, who insists that it is wrong-headed in principle to suggest any possible common purpose between professional artists and scientists.
In the last ten years, however, these acts of love-making across borders have grown in popularity. No longer displayed apologetically in a corridor of an alien institution, the art they have inspired is on show at major galleries – think of Marc Quinn's portrait of John Sulston, using his DNA, in the National Portrait Gallery, or Helen Chadwick's exquisite and disturbing work recently on show at the Barbican. Sci-art has also spread into the performing arts. In the Purcell Room in June, the neurophysiologist Mark Lythgoe presented a joint project, "Perception and Realities: the Science of Theatre," with playwright Caryl Churchill and director Katie Mitchell. Since its premier last June, choreographer Wayne McGregor's dazzling new piece, AtaXia, the result of months of work with neuropsychologists and physiologists, has been touring internationally. In November, performance artist Bobby Baker presented the consequences of her quizzical interrogations of dynamic cognitive behavioural therapy at the Barbican theatre. And Paul Broks (neuropsychologist, author and Prospect columnist) is currently working on a play about neuropsychological disorder with the theatre director Mick Gordon, as well as a film with director Ian Knox about the amnesiac jazz musician Pat Martino.
The commonplace notion of an artist in residence has now been matched by the idea of the scientist in residence. Neuroscientists Daniel Glaser and Patrick Haggard have spent time in residence at the ICA and the Royal Opera House respectively. It has got to the point where Sandra Kemp, director of research at the Royal College of Art, finds that "sci-art is no longer a meaningful term." Every student in her institution is involved in sci-art, so inextricable have technology and new media become from all forms of artistic creativity. "Future Face," which Kemp curated and is currently in the Wellcome Trust gallery at the Science Museum, juxtaposes portraits, masks and film stills with forensic facial reconstructions and anatomists' models.
For a long time it was left to maverick polymaths, like Oliver Sacks and Jonathan Miller, to remind us that CP Snow's divided sensibility was a damaging denial of human curiosity. And there were always individual artists – Susan Hiller, Cornelia Parker, Andy Goldsworthy, Damien Hirst – interested in straying across boundaries, and a few institutions, such as the Interalia Centre in Bristol and the Laboratory at the Ruskin school of drawing and fine art in Oxford, that promoted such journeys. But a key moment came in 1993 when Nicola Triscott, a physics-trained arts administrator, and founder of Arts Catalyst, went travelling in southern Africa. There she saw artists engaging with the rapidly changing world around them and she came back to Britain determined to foster a similar energy of engagement between art and the world she knew best – research physics.
Some of Triscott's early projects were funded by Siân Ede at the Calouste Gulbenkian foundation. Ede's background is in the arts, but she had become excited by her reading of popular science. "Scientists were using phrases we thought belonged to us: the 'meaning' of life, 'the nature of the self,'" she says. "And also words that artists had rejected: 'beauty' and 'elegance.'" With the small but – for artists – significant research funds at the foundation's disposal, Ede has become a committed marriage-broker, identifying artists and scientists she wants to get together, offering seed money for research and then helping fledgling projects to find further money to fly.
Ede's long-term ally in this project is Ken Arnold, head of public programmes at the Wellcome Trust. Arnold is himself a polymath, with a first degree in science and a second in history, and his aim is to join artists with scientists to communicate better with the public. "Art can provide unpredictable viewpoints from which to inspect or challenge scientific ideas and assumptions," he explains. The original sci-art award scheme, started in 1997 to search for projects from artists and scientists interested in working together, stimulated 120 applications, and each subsequent award scheme has continued to generate interest. Since then, other funding bodies such as Nesta have joined the game. At first artists took the lead, hungry for an engagement with science's subject matter and methodology, and lured by the urgency of the moral, social and ethical issues it raises. But increasingly scientists have seen the advantage of talking to a suspicious public through a friendly artistic mediator.
It is a robust and well-informed public that Arnold seeks to encourage. Located in the heart of academic London, the new Wellcome Centre aims to encourage appropriately rigorous encounters between science and art – "unelitist but also uncompromised" – where important questions that matter to both communities are addressed: the nature of the self, the significance of genes, what is mental health.
What the audience gets in return is new work, and sometimes serious new work which provides an alternative angle from which to approach both new science and new art.

9 entries found.
shire (n.)
Old English scir "administrative office, jurisdiction, stewardship, authority," also in particular use "district, province, country," from Proto-Germanic *skizo (source also of Old High German scira "care, official charge"). Ousted since 14c. by Anglo-French county. The gentrified sense is from The Shires (1796), used by people in other parts of England of those counties that end in -shire; sense transferred to "hunting country of the Midlands" (1860).
Related entries & more
shortened form of the old spelling of Shrewsbury + shire.
sheriff (n.)
late Old English scirgerefa "representative of royal authority in a shire," from scir (see shire) + gerefa "chief, official, reeve" (see reeve). As an American county official, attested from 1660s; sheriff's sale first recorded 1798. Sheriff's tooth (late 14c.) was a common name for the annual tax levied to pay for the sheriff's victuals during court sessions.
1086, Cestre Scire, from Chester + scir "district" (see shire). Cheshire cat and its proverbial grin are attested from 1770, but the signification is obscure.
I made a pun the other day, and palmed it upon Holcroft, who grinned like a Cheshire cat. (Why do cats grin in Cheshire?—Because it was once a county palatine, and the cats cannot help laughing whenever they think of it, though I see no great joke in it.) I said that Holcroft, on being asked who were the best dramatic writers of the day, replied, "HOOK AND I." Mr Hook is author of several pieces, Tekeli, &c. You know what hooks and eyes are, don't you? They are what little boys do up their breeches with. [Charles Lamb, letter to Thomas Manning, Feb. 26, 1808]
county (n.)
mid-14c., "a shire, a definite division of a country or state for political and administrative purposes," from Anglo-French counte, from Late Latin comitatus "jurisdiction of a count," from Latin comes (see count (n.1)). It replaced Old English scir "shire."
From late 14c. as "the domain of a count or earl." County palatine, one distinguished by special privileges (Lancaster, Chester, Durham) is from mid-15c. County seat "seat of the government of a county" is by 1848, American English.
glen (n.)
"narrow valley," late 15c., from Scottish, from Gaelic gleann "mountain valley" (cognate with Old Irish glenn, Welsh glyn). Common in place names such as Glenlivet (1822), a kind of whiskey, named for the place it was first made (literally "the glen of the Livet," a tributary of the Avon); and Glengarry (1841) a kind of men's cap, of Highland origin, named for a valley in Inverness-shire.
alderman (n.)
Old English aldormonn (Mercian), ealdormann (West Saxon) "Anglo-Saxon ruler, prince, chief; chief officer of a shire," from aldor, ealder "patriarch" (comparative of ald "old;" see old) + monn, mann "man" (from PIE root *man- (1) "man").
Presumably originally of elders of the clan or tribe, but already in Old English used for king's viceroys, regardless of age. In later Old English a more specific title, "chief magistrate of a county," having both civic and military duties. The word yielded under Canute to eorl (see earl), and after the Norman Conquest to count (n.). Having lost its specific sense, alderman was then applied to any head man; meaning "headman of a guild" (early 12c.) passed to "magistrate of a city" (c. 1200) as the guilds became identified with municipal government. Related: Aldermancy; aldermanic.
parish (n.)
c. 1300, "district with its own church; members of such a church," from Anglo-French paroche, parosse (late 11c.), Old French paroisse, from Late Latin parochia, paroecia "a diocese," an alteration of Late Greek paroikia "a diocese or parish," from paroikos "a sojourner" (in Christian writers), in classical Greek, "neighbor," from para- "near" (see para- (1)) + oikos "house" (from PIE root *weik- (1) "clan").
The sense development of the word in the early Church is unclear, perhaps it is from "sojourner" used as epithet of early Christians as spiritual sojourners in the material world. In early Church writing the word was used in a more general sense than Greek dioikesis, though by 13c. they were synonymous. It replaced Old English preostscyr, literally "priest-shire." In Great Britain (from the 1630s), some southern American colonies, and Louisiana it has been the name for a purely civil division for purposes of local government, with boundaries originally corresponding to an ecclesiastical parish.
hundred (adj., n.)
"1 more than ninety-nine, ten times ten; the number which is one more than ninety-nine; a symbol representing this number;" Old English hundred "the number of 100, a counting of 100," from Proto-Germanic *hunda-ratha- (source also of Old Frisian hundred, Old Saxon hunderod, Old Norse hundrað, German hundert); first element is Proto-Germanic *hundam "hundred" (cognate with Gothic hund, Old High German hunt), from PIE *km-tom "hundred," reduced from *dkm-tom- (source also of Sanskrit satam, Avestan satem, Greek hekaton, Latin centum, Lithuanian šimtas, Old Church Slavonic suto, Old Irish cet, Breton kant "hundred"), suffixed form of root *dekm- "ten."
The second element is Proto-Germanic *rath "reckoning, number" (as in Gothic raþjo "a reckoning, account, number," garaþjan "to count;" from PIE root *re- "to reason, count"). The common word for the number in Old English was simple hund, and Old English also used hund-teontig.
In Old Norse hundrath meant 120, that is the long hundred of six score, and at a later date, when both the six-score hundred and the five-score hundred were in use, the old or long hundred was styled hundrath tolf-roett ... meaning "duodecimal hundred," and the new or short hundred was called hundrath ti-rætt, meaning "decimal hundred." "The Long Hundred and its use in England" was discussed by Mr W.H. Stevenson, in 1889, in the Archæological Review (iv. 313-27), where he stated that amongst the Teutons, who longest preserved their native customs unimpaired by the influence of Latin Christianity, the hundred was generally the six-score hundred. The short hundred was introduced among the Northmen in the train of Christianity. [Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society, 1907]
Meaning "division of a county or shire with its own court" (still in some British place names and U.S. state of Delaware) was in Old English and probably represents 100 hides of land. The Hundred Years War (which ran intermittently from 1337 to 1453) was first so called in 1874. The original Hundred Days was the period between Napoleon's restoration and his final abdication in 1815.


What is Cancer Fighters® Care Net (CFCN)?
Cancer Fighters have told us that they want a way to give back to patients and caregivers and help them on their cancer journey. As a result, the Cancer Fighters® Care Net (CFCN) program was designed by our patients and caregivers in 2009 to allow them to reach out to new patients and caregivers and give them insight into the Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) experience by sharing their personal experience.
As a member, you are a volunteer and share your CTCA® experiences with patients and caregivers considering CTCA for treatment. You help ease concerns, answer questions and remove some of the "fear of the unknown" for new patients and caregivers.
Cancer Fighters interested in CFCN will participate in a one-day training – either online or in-person. Upon successful completion of the training, you will be eligible to receive call requests to contact a prospective CTCA patient or caregiver. You must commit to checking your email at least once a day for call requests, and promptly respond to all requests within 24-48 hours.
Contact your hospital's Cancer Fighter team . Depending on our needs within the program, we will see if you are eligible to participate at that time and, if not, find another opportunity for you to speak with patients and caregivers. Please contact Jennifer Mikes at 847-342-7332 for additional questions.

This is our fourth year staying in this park. Rate is with Good Sam discount. New this year is free Wi-Fi. This is not a Forest Sevice campground. The owners are very friendly as well as there staff. The perfect place to either see Crater Lake, fish or just kick back. Rustic, but with all the hookups and Wi-Fi. We will be back next year. We camped at Diamond Lake RV Park in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at The Marina RV Resort many times and keep coming back. Will be back for a month in September 2005 for Salmon fishing and crabbing. Reservations a must during this time as folks reserve in February for sites at this time of year. As others have said, tis park is extremely clean and neat. Although the sand dunes are close by, no ATV's. dirt bikes or dune buggy's are allowed to be driven in the park. Must be towed in and out. Even though it does not have Wi-Fi, we have found that using the pay phones in the laundry rooms early in the morning or late at night has enabled us to be on-line as long as we desired. Contrary to previous posts, there are local dial-up numbers for most services. Only 50 cents for as long as you are connected. Number one recommendation for food is Kitty's Kitchen. Killer pies and cakes. She also serves lunch items. For dinner we like Fishpatrick's Crabby Cafe and the Bar-B-Que on weekends at The Sportsman Cannery. We camped at Winchester Bay RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Cyprus church offers to help shoulder debt burden
https://str.sg/3yFE
NICOSIA (AFP) - The head of the powerful Orthodox Church in Cyprus, Archbishop Chrysostomos II, offered on Wednesday to help bail the country out of its financial crisis by putting church assets at the government's disposal.
"The entire property of the church is at the disposal of this country to prevent the economy from collapsing," the archbishop said after meeting President Nicos Anastasiades, hours after MPs rejected a eurozone bailout deal.
He said the church had offered to mortgage its vast property holdings to buy government bonds. He declined to estimate the amount of funding this could raise.
The church is the largest landowner on the island and also has stakes in a wide range of businesses, including in the country's Hellenic Bank, with total assets estimated to run into tens of millions of euros.
Cyprus is looking for ways to come up with 5.8 billion euros (S$9.4 billion) after lawmakers on Tuesday flatly rejected a proposal to impose a levy of up to 10 per cent on bank deposits to secure the international bailout.
Under a deal reached at the weekend, the troika of the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund were to provide Cyprus with 10 billion euros on condition that the island raises another 5.8 billion euros.
"Parliament's 'no' vote sent a strong message that you can't mess around with the little guy," the archbishop told reporters.

Web archive resurrects chronicle of old Newark
Now on line, a weekly newspaper that kept the pulse of local Jews
By Robert Wiener June 29, 2011, 12:00 am Edit

The Newark Jewish Chronicle, the predecessor to NJ Jewish News that closed down in 1943, is now being resurrected with an on-line pay-per-view archive.
Researchers and browsers can discover lost aspects of Newark's rich Jewish culture — from the powerbrokers of Newark's German-Jewish elite to the life-cycle events of the landsmanshaftn, the benefit societies for working-class Jews from Eastern Europe.
The newspaper has been digitized on GenealogyBank.com, a for-fee website.
"This is a gift from the gods," said Linda Forgosh, executive director of the Jewish Historical Society of the MetroWest. "It is Newark's story. It is Jewish Newark's story. It is New Jersey's story. It puts what was considered ancient history into a modern-day context."
The weekly newspaper printed its first edition on Oct. 14, 1921, and continued publishing until Jan. 8, 1943.
Its publisher was European-born Anton Kaufman, a blind man who began his career as a reporter in Berlin. Kaufman moved to Detroit in 1905 and began publishing the Detroit Jewish Chronicle before coming to Newark in 1921 and opening the Newark Jewish Chronicle.
The Chronicle reported marriages, births, deaths, bridal showers, even unveilings.
The newspaper's editor was Rabbi Solomon Foster of Temple B'nai Jeshurun, the High Street synagogue that is now located in Short Hills.
"Foster was the most influential rabbi in Newark at the time because his members were the most influential Jews in Newark," said Forgosh.
Advertising came from businesses run by members of Newark's elite German-Jewish Progress Club, as well from beyond Newark's borders — across the river in New York City to as far south as Asbury Park.
"That is how important Newark's Jews were," Forgosh said. "You were appealing to people to come to your hotel or your restaurant in a day before airplane travel was common."
Regarding politics, "the Chronicle was not Right, Left, Zionist, or anti-Zionist," Forgosh said. "Kaufman had no desire to alienate any of his readers, who represented a vast range of opinions regarding all things Jewish. Let's just say that if something was good for Newark, it was left to Rabbi Foster to say that it was."
Things were not all good for Kaufman, however: Thirteen years after founding the newspaper he ran afoul of the law. He was arrested along with his son, Theodore, for attempting to steal a fermentation formula from a noted winemaker, Sandor Alexander Balint.
The elder Kaufman was paroled.
As Hitler's armies began rampaging through Europe, the Chronicle's front page became dominated by reports on grim developments overseas as well as drives for Jewish relief in Europe and local UJA campaigns.
But by 1943, three years before the founding of the Jewish News — now New Jersey Jewish News — by local philanthropic leaders, the Chronicle's advertising dried up.
On that New Year's Day — one week before the newspaper's final edition — Kaufman leaped to his death from his eighth-floor room at Newark's Robert Treat Hotel.
More than six decades later, he leaves an on-line legacy that includes coverage of important events to tidbits of social news that Forgosh believes "are worth looking at even if you had no family in Newark."

Inspiring and practical, this classic series has become an American institution. The Foxfire 45th Anniversary Book continues the beloved tradition of celebrating a simpler life, this time with a focus on Appalachian music, folk legends, and a history full of outsized personalities. We hear the encouraging life stories of banjo players, gospel singers, and bluegrass musicians who reminisce about their first time playing at the Grand Ole Opry; we shiver at the spine-tingling collection of tall tales, from ghosts born of long-ago crimes to rumors of giant catfish that lurk at the bottom of lakes and quarries; we recollect the Farm Family Program that sustained and educated Appalachian families for almost fifty years, through the Depression and beyond; and we learn the time-honored skills of those who came before, from building a sled to planting azaleas and braiding a leather bull-whip. Full of spirited narrative accounts and enduring knowledge, The Foxfire 45th Anniversary Book is a piece of living history from a fascinating American culture.

Across more than thirty essays, we discover the secret origins of stock car racing, the story behind the formation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the vanishing art of gathering wild ginseng, and the recipes of an award-winning cookbook writer. We meet bootleggers and bear hunters, game wardens and medicine women, water dowsers, sculptors, folk singers, novelists, record collectors, and home cooks—even the world's foremost "priviologist"—all with tales to tell. A rich compendium of the collected wisdom of artists, craftsmen, musicians, and moonshiners, Travels with Foxfire is a joyful tribute to the history, the geography, and the traditions that define Appalachian living.
Color and Light
Author : James Gurney
Publisher : Andrews McMeel Publishing
Genre: Art
Color and Light Excerpt :
Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
