Jimmy Fallon suffered another injury over the weekend, this time to his right hand.
The "Tonight Show" host, who traveled to Boston on Saturday to receive Harvard University's Lampoon award, took a tumble and mildly injured his right hand, just four months after he almost lost a finger on his left hand.
Fallon was holding a bottle of Jaegermeister when he fell and cut himself, according to People, and made a brief trip to Massachusetts General Hospital after.
One attendee seemed to capture the incident on video, showing Fallon taking a hard fall in the middle of a crowd.
Saturday's injury is notably less severe than the one Fallon suffered in June, which forced NBC to scrap a taping of "The Tonight Show." Fallon said he injured his hand then when he fell and his ring got caught on the edge of a table. His left hand remains bandaged.
And in August, the "Tonight Show" host chipped his tooth after trying to open a bottle of medication for his finger.
Fallon, 41, was honored with the Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor in a celebration that ended with a parade through Harvard Square. He reportedly returned to the celebration later that night.

Meghalaya Cong goes digital for primary membership drive
The party has issued a WhatsApp number +91 90779 09175 to which a user has to send a simple 'Hi' or 'Hello'.
by Princess Giri Rashir October 28, 2021 October 28, 2021
Shillong: The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress has gone digital in building its movement for enrolling primary members to the party.
The party has set up a database of eligible voters to ensure that "only genuine users" come on board. The party said it is also aimed at giving users the best experience by providing instant primary member identity cards digitally.
Speaking with mediapersons, MPCC president Vincent Pala on Thursday said, "The Congress has always been at the forefront of adopting new technologies, which are people friendly and help bring efficiency in things we do. This vision and its tenets are ingrained in the ethos of the Meghalaya Pradesh Congress party and these have been carried forward from the vision of our late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi who vehemently believed in our calling of our unique identity and inculcating our culture by granting us, without an ounce of doubt, statehood 50 years ago and of Late Sh. Rajiv Gandhi, who brought in IT revolution in the country".
He said, "Taking their vision forward, we are introducing state-of-the-art technology to enroll primary members. This is our first step in enriching the lives of citizens of Meghalaya and a small glimpse of things we are developing to bring about efficiency of governance in the times to come. The technology will help the registration process for both young and old in enrolling themselves and becoming an active member of the party."
The party has issued a WhatsApp number +91 90779 09175 to which a user has to send a simple 'Hi' or 'Hello'. The user will be asked for name, Voter ID number, and has to upload the photo of their voter ID card and take a selfie and upload.
It is expected that this process will take less than a minute, and once this is done, the information fed by the user is verified at the back-end. Once verified, a digital primary member identity card is sent to the user on WhatsApp.

Cardiac Surgery, Thoracic Surgery
Accepting new patients? Yes
Referrals required? From patients or physicians
Patient type treated: Adult
Board Certified in Thoracic & Cardiac Surgery
For Appointments
John Elefteriades, MD, is one of the leading heart surgeons in the United States. He performs all types of adult cardiac surgeries, including coronary artery bypass grafting and artificial heart implantation. He is director of the Aortic Institute at Yale New-Haven Hospital.
Dr. Elefteriades is a pioneer in the use of extreme cooling, or hypothermia, to allow surgeons to stop a patient's heart long enough to carry out cardiac surgery. Once the procedure is complete, the patient is warmed up and their heart is restarted with a defibrillator.
He's a strong advocate of general screening to discover if people have aortic aneurysms, or bulges in the main artery connected to the heart. Left untreated, aortic aneurysms can lead to ruptures that cause death. "With aneurysm disease, the first symptom is death. Most people feel no pain. So it would be good to have a general screening test," Dr. Elefteriades says.
At the Aortic Institute, one of the nation's largest facilities for treatment and study of the aorta, Dr. Elefteriades' team has developed an "RNA Signature" blood test to detect aneurysm disease. This work is a step along the path to developing a general screening technique that's affordable and accurate enough for widespread use.
Working with other researchers at Yale, he also has assembled a database of aneurysm disease cases, which enables the researchers to find patterns in patient populations. They already have discovered links between weightlifting and aneurysms. They also gathered evidence that allows physicians to decide when it's necessary to perform surgery in order to prevent a cataclysmic event in patients with an aneurysm.
In addition to his work with aneurysms, Dr. Elefteriades is the author of a medical mystery/ethics fiction thriller called "Transplant," which was a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards as a best first novel. He also published a collection of inspirational patient stories entitled "Extraordinary Hearts: A Journey of Cardiac Medicine and the Human Spirit."
Dr. Elefteriades has been named among the Best Doctors in America consistently for two decades. He is a professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Yale School of Medicine.

articles_explaining-bsd
<emphasis>By contrast, Linux maintains two separate code trees: the stable version and the development version. Stable versions have an even minor version number, such as 2.0, 2.2 or 2.4. Development versions have an odd minor version number, such as 2.1, 2.3 or 2.5. In each case, the number is followed by a further number designating the exact release. In addition, each vendor adds their own userland programs and utilities, so the name of the distribution is also important. Each distribution vendor also assigns version numbers to the distribution, so a complete description might be something like <quote>TurboLinux 6.0 with kernel 2.2.14</quote></emphasis>
A large number of developers worldwide contribute to improvements to BSD. They are divided into three kinds:
<firstterm>Contributors</firstterm> write code or documentation. They are not permitted to commit (add code) directly to the source tree. In order for their code to be included in the system, it must be reviewed and checked in by a registered developer, known as a <emphasis>committer</emphasis>.
<firstterm>Committers</firstterm> are developers with write access to the source tree. In order to become a committer, an individual must show ability in the area in which they are active.
It is at the individual committer's discretion whether they should obtain authority before committing changes to the source tree. In general, an experienced committer may make changes which are obviously correct without obtaining consensus. For example, a documentation project committer may correct typographical or grammatical errors without review. On the other hand, developers making far-reaching or complicated changes are expected to submit their changes for review before committing them. In extreme cases, a core team member with a function such as Principal Architect may order that changes be removed from the tree, a process known as <firstterm>backing out</firstterm>. All committers receive mail describing each individual commit, so it is not possible to commit secretly.
The <firstterm>Core team</firstterm>. FreeBSD and NetBSD each have a core team which manages the project. The core teams developed in the course of the projects, and their role is not always well-defined. It is not necessary to be a developer in order to be a core team member, though it is normal. The rules for the core team vary from one project to the other, but in general they have more say in the direction of the project than non-core team members have.
This arrangement differs from Linux in a number of ways:
No one person controls the content of the system. In practice, this difference is overrated, since the Principal Architect can require that code be backed out, and even in the Linux project several people are permitted to make changes.
On the other hand, there <emphasis>is</emphasis> a central repository, a single place where you can find the entire operating system sources, including all older versions.
BSD projects maintain the entire <quote>Operating System</quote>, not only the kernel. This distinction is only marginally useful: neither BSD nor Linux is useful without applications. The applications used under BSD are frequently the same as the applications used under Linux.
As a result of the formalized maintenance of a single SVN source tree, BSD development is clear, and it is possible to access any version of the system by release number or by date. SVN also allows incremental updates to the system: for example, the FreeBSD repository is updated about 100 times a day. Most of these changes are small.
BSD releases
FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD provide the system in three different <quote>releases</quote>. As with Linux, releases are assigned a number such as 1.4.1 or 3.5. In addition, the version number has a suffix indicating its purpose:
The development version of the system is called <firstterm>CURRENT</firstterm>. FreeBSD assigns a number to CURRENT, for example FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. NetBSD uses a slightly different naming scheme and appends a single-letter suffix which indicates changes in the internal interfaces, for example NetBSD 1.4.3G. OpenBSD does not assign a number (<quote>OpenBSD-current</quote>). All new development on the system goes into this branch.
At regular intervals, between two and four times a year, the projects bring out a <firstterm>RELEASE</firstterm> version of the system, which is available on CD-ROM and for free download from FTP sites, for example OpenBSD 2.6-RELEASE or NetBSD 1.4-RELEASE. The RELEASE version is intended for end users and is the normal version of the system. NetBSD also provides <emphasis>patch releases</emphasis> with a third digit, for example NetBSD 1.4.2.
As bugs are found in a RELEASE version, they are fixed, and the fixes are added to the SVN tree. In FreeBSD, the resultant version is called the <firstterm>STABLE</firstterm> version, while in NetBSD and OpenBSD it continues to be called the RELEASE version. Smaller new features can also be added to this branch after a period of test in the CURRENT branch. Security and other important bug fixes are also applied to all supported RELEASE versions.
What versions of BSD are available?
In contrast to the numerous Linux distributions, there are only four major open source BSDs. Each BSD project maintains its own source tree and its own kernel. In practice, though, there appear to be fewer divergences between the userland code of the projects than there is in Linux.
It is difficult to categorize the goals of each project: the differences are very subjective. Basically,
FreeBSD aims for high performance and ease of use by end users, and is a favourite of web content providers. It runs on a <link xlink:href="@@URL_RELPREFIX@@/platforms/">number of platforms</link> and has significantly more users than the other projects.
NetBSD aims for maximum portability: <quote>of course it runs NetBSD</quote>. It runs on machines from palmtops to large servers, and has even been used on NASA space missions. It is a particularly good choice for running on old non-<trademark class="registered">Intel</trademark> hardware.
OpenBSD aims for security and code purity: it uses a combination of the open source concept and rigorous code reviews to create a system which is demonstrably correct, making it the choice of security-conscious organizations such as banks, stock exchanges and US Government departments. Like NetBSD, it runs on a number of platforms.
DragonFlyBSD aims for high performance and scalability under everything from a single-node UP system to a massively clustered system. DragonFlyBSD has several long-range technical goals, but focus lies on providing a SMP-capable infrastructure that is easy to understand, maintain and develop for.
There are also two additional BSD <trademark class="registered">UNIX</trademark> operating systems which are not open source, BSD/OS and Apple's <trademark class="registered">Mac OS</trademark> X:
BSD/OS was the oldest of the 4.4BSD derivatives. It was not open source, though source code licenses were available at relatively low cost. It resembled FreeBSD in many ways. Two years after the acquisition of BSDi by Wind River Systems, BSD/OS failed to survive as an independent product. Support and source code may still be available from Wind River, but all new development is focused on the VxWorks embedded operating system.
<link xlink:href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/"><trademark class="registered">Mac OS</trademark> X</link> is the latest version of the operating system for <trademark class="registered">Apple</trademark>'s <trademark class="registered">Mac</trademark> line. The BSD core of this operating system, <link xlink:href="http://developer.apple.com/darwin/">Darwin</link>, is available as a fully functional open source operating system for x86 and PPC computers. The Aqua/Quartz graphics system and many other proprietary aspects of <trademark class="registered">Mac OS</trademark> X remain closed-source, however. Several Darwin developers are also FreeBSD committers, and vice-versa.
How does the BSD license differ from the GNU Public license?
Linux is available under the <link xlink:href="http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public License</link> (GPL), which is designed to eliminate closed source software. In particular, any derivative work of a product released under the GPL must also be supplied with source code if requested. By contrast, the <link xlink:href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html">BSD license</link> is less restrictive: binary-only distributions are allowed. This is particularly attractive for embedded applications.
Since fewer applications are available for BSD than Linux, the BSD developers created a Linux compatibility package, which allows Linux programs to run under BSD. The package includes both kernel modifications, in order to correctly perform Linux system calls, and Linux compatibility files such as the C library. There is no noticeable difference in execution speed between a Linux application running on a Linux machine and a Linux application running on a BSD machine of the same speed.
The <quote>all from one supplier</quote> nature of BSD means that upgrades are much easier to handle than is frequently the case with Linux. BSD handles library version upgrades by providing compatibility modules for earlier library versions, so it is possible to run binaries which are several years old with no problems.

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey is an excellent motion base ride in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and one of the best attractions at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The minimum height to ride is 48 inches.
Still one of the best rides anywhere!
I'm not sure what's better, walking through the castle, or the ride itself. Both are a MUST DO at this park. Harry Potter fan or not, this is awesome.
The ride system can be intense for some people, but the experience is wonderful and allows you to feel like you really are flying through the world of Harry Potter.
Just the queue alone is fantastic, if you're a fan of Harry Potter.

Fiasco at the International Tabletop Game Day
April 1, 2013 Jester
Fun at White Cap Comics Tabletop Game Day
Saturday March 30th was the International Tabletop Gaming Day and all over the country and around the world people were playing tabletop games of all kinds. At White Cap Comics in Grand Rapids, Michigan from noon to 6 p.m. folks came to the store to shop and to play games and many stayed and played games all day.
A wide variety of games were played from the #1 board game – Mayfair's Settlers of Catan – to card games and roleplaying games like Fiasco by Bully Pulpit Games.
The staff at White Cap Comics made sure that everyone had a good time at the store but certain aspects of the day did turn out to be a bit of a fiasco too with folks leaving a bit disappointed with the expected outcome of the day.
Playing Fiasco at White Cap Comics Tabletop Game Day
White Cap Comics was one of the stores that had paid months in advance to be able to provide their customers with the great prizes that Alliance Game Distributors had promised to the stores for a $500 buy in and that the folks at Alliance and Geek and Sundry Tabletop Day had been touting for months with comments like, "collect all the exclusive promotional items made specifically to commemorate this."

With International Tabletop Game Day being pushed by Alliance Game Distributors, being touted by Geek and Sundry, and the major players in the tabletop gaming industry Mayfair, Wizards of the Coast, Steve Jackson Games, and others supposedly behind it encouraging attendees to "collect all the exclusive promotional items" and paying $500 for the premium kit, folks might expect that the store would have been provided enough promotional items for more than one person to "Collect all" the promotional items.
Unfortunately that was not the case. For an additional $50 the store could have purchased another box of promotional items to cover a second person. So for $5450 the store could have had enough for the hundred or so customers that passed through the store to collect all the promotional items that Alliance Gaming Distributors, Geek and Sundry, and the gaming industry been promoting.
Brick and mortar stores like White Cap Comics work hard to promote positive hobbies like board, card, roleplaying and other games and provide space and a home after school to lots of kids that might otherwise be home alone or out getting into trouble after school, on weekends, and during the summer as well as for adults to gather for a game.
Retail stores like White Cap Comics understand that the economy has been bad and Michigan has seen its worst economy over the past decade so folks around here understand economic hardship and disappointment, but when the gaming industry has posted its fourth year of consecutive growth, companies like Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast, Mayfair, and others are looking like scrooges or bailout bank CEOs who are walking away with overflowing pockets at the expense of taxpayers.
While the folks at White Cap Comics made certain that everyone that came had a great time and were apologetic to those that had bought into the "Collect them all" hype, the gaming industry has major egg on its face but is happily sitting on a load of cash to ease their conscience.
A final note on the Tabletop Game Day, the $500 the store paid was to also include 30 to 60 seconds on Geek and Sundry's live Tabletop Day broadcast. The White Cap Comics AV staff spent hours of preparations for the broadcast, purchased new equipment including an HD camera and studio headphones, installed a cable connection, and had 3 laptops and an extra webcam as backups to ensure that the store would be ready for its appearance on Geek and Sundry's Tabletop broadcast.
After waiting for hours the Geek and Sundry announce they were going life to the store and then they crashed. For about half an hour there was no response and then:
"TABLETOPDAY .:hey guys, again, sorry for the crash
TABLETOPDAY .: kernal panics are no fun
TABLETOPDAY .: we're done with the first half of the broadcast though – see you soon!"
They then went offline and didn't respond when asked how long was "soon!"
They finally responded at 7:04 Eastern with, "hi priscilla! sorry about all the confusion – once the computer crashed it killed the skype feed. we were offline until 3! if you're around later, though, there's a chance we could call you back!"
At that point the store was closed and folks were going home.
So to the folks at Geek and Sundry, "'redundancy' is a popular term among geeks in the tech industry, you might want to look it up." To the folks at Alliance Game Distributors and in the gaming industry, "Did you intentionally mislead your customers or are you just out of touch?" Finally, to all the gamers worldwide – "Game on and see you at Gen Con!"

It's too little, too late at this point, but Frank Taafe, a former outspoken supporter of George Zimmerman, now says that he believes that George racially profiled Trayvon Martin and should have been found guilty.
"What I know of George and his tendencies and also my opinion is that he racially profiled Trayvon Martin that night because if that had been a white kid on a cell phone, walking through our neighborhood, he wouldn't have stayed on him the way he did and that's a fact and I believe that in my heart," said Taaffe.
This is very different from what Taaffe told News 13 numerous times after the shooting, including during an interview back in May 2012 when he said, "That George Zimmerman in a position in a volunteer role wanted to ensure the safety of the community he lived in and he became the victim."
But today, Taaffe claims he just wants to clear his conscience, "I can only ask for the country to forgive me and today I believe that he racially profiled him based on the color of his skin. Reporter: Some people may wonder what does Frank Taaffe have to gain by doing this? Are you working on a book? No book. A TV show? No. I'm just working on me right now and getting right with God."
Taaffe says his brother's death last month and the death of his two sons over the past two years has changed him.
Taaffe says he has a message for Trayvon Martin's parents, "I'm sorry that you lost your son, I know what that's like and I wish things had been different."

The new series Cultural Dynamics of Science (CDS) at Brill (http://www.brill.com/) aims to contribute to on-going efforts in the history of science to understand the relations between the production, communication, consumption and use of knowledge without having recourse to the traditional equation of popularization with notions such as 'diffusion' and 'simplification'. The same goes for the distinctions they imply between expert knowledge and practices, on one side, and lay communities and understanding on the other. Focused on the modern period, from the Enlightenment to the present, CDS intends instead to consider the various ways in which interaction, exchange and struggle for scientific authority among the different actors involved has historically fed the productive circulation of knowledge. Sensitivity to specific contexts, epistemologies, spaces and networks, in which material production merges with knowledge production, is therefore paramount.

Napping stations now at SFO
By Andrew Tellijohn
Powrnaps Sleep Stations, which feature single-occupancy pods offering travelers the option to nap in 20-minute increments, have won a likely six-month trial at San Francisco International (SFO).
Passengers will pay between $20 and $25 for the 20-minute session. The six stations will be in the International Terminal and will include headphones playing soothing recorded sounds and allow access to optional showers.
Leo Fermin, deputy director of airport business and finance told the San Francisco Examiner in a memorandum that the concept has not been widely tested in the United States. Powrnaps claims the technology will allow for an efficient nap by inundating the customer – seated in the pod wearing headphones – with soothing sounds meant to guide the person to sleep, according to the article.
The company is also looking at other busy airports, including John F. Kennedy International (JFK), Los Angeles International (LAX), Hartsfield-Jackson International (ATL), and Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW), the Examiner reported.

Investors call for ethical approach to facial recognition technology
June 7, 2021 by admin

A group of 50 investors who manage more than $ 4.5 trillion in assets call for companies involved in the development and use of facial recognition technology, such as Amazon (AMZN.O) and Facebook (FB.O)to do so in an ethical way.
The investor group, led by asset manager Candriam, a European division of US financial services company New York Life, said in a statement that the technology could violate someone's privacy because the individuals identified do not agree that there is often no regulatory oversight.
The initiative shows how fund managers are increasing take up political issues once considered a fringe issue for shareholders as retail investors pour billions of dollars into funds that focus on ethical and sustainability criteria.
Human rights activists say facial recognition technology, which can be used to unlock smartphones or verify bank accounts, can also be used by governments to track citizens and quell political disagreements.
The investor group said it will begin a two-year process of working with companies that develop or use the technology. 34 companies are leaders in facial recognition, including Amazon, Facebook and the Asian technology company Alibaba (9988.HK) and Huawei (HWT.UL).
An Amazon spokesman declined to comment. The other companies did not immediately respond when they were contacted by Reuters.
Amazon told Reuters last month it did to extend a moratorium It imposed police on the use of its facial recognition technology. Civil rights groups have warned that inaccurate attribution could lead to unjust arrests.
"To enable investors to meet our own responsibility to respect human rights, we urge companies to proactively assess, disclose, mitigate and remediate human rights risks associated with their facial recognition products and services," said Rosa van den Beemt, Responsible Investment Analyst at BMO Global Asset Management, one of the investors who joined the initiative.
The facial recognition technology market is expected to grow to around $ 10 billion in 2020, Candriam said in a report released in March, citing a 2018 survey by Allied Market Research.
UK Aviva Investors were among those who joined the investor initiative (AV.L), Royal London Asset Management, Canada's BMO Global Asset Management, NN Investment Partners based in the Netherlands and Norway's KLP.
"The increasing adoption and adoption of facial recognition technology has human rights implications that are not fully respected by companies," said Louise Piffaut, senior ESG analyst at Aviva Investors.
Candriam said there is currently no global framework for the collection and use of biometric data, but the European Union has proposed its first legal framework and China has published a draft standard.
The European Union's data protection commissioner said in April the technology should banned in Europe because of its "deep and undemocratic intrusion" into people's private lives.

The HTTP status code (e.g. 404).
The HTTP reason phrase (e.g. requested page doesn't exist).
The reason phrase may vary from site to site. For example, a 404 status line might say "Not Found," "Not_Found," or "File Not Found." What do you do when you get one of those messages and how do you know if it's user error or something that's happening with the site you're visiting? This article discusses best practices to help identify and fix common 4xx HTTP status codes and what to do when a remedy doesn't work.
A 4xx code (also known as 400 errors and 400 series errors) means the problem originated with the user, a 5xx code means the problem was caused by the server. With a 4xx code, typically the client or user has to fix an error before trying again, but there are some exceptions. With a 5xx code, the request can be present with no changes and you will get the requested result when the server has been fixed. You can read about best practices for 5xx codes.
Since user error is often what triggers a 4xx status code, we put together a list of things you can do to remedy the situation if it happens to you. For all status codes below, if the listed solutions don't work, clear the cache and cookies to make sure those aren't causing the error.
If the client computer has recently been upgraded or changed, consider if those changes might be causing the error. Also check to see if you need to upgrade the browser. If neither of those were the culprit and the fixes listed below aren't working, contact the website, or check the company's Twitter feed or Facebook page to see if the issue is on their side. Either other people are tweeting about the issue or the company has put up some information about the problem on their social media sites.
Probable cause: The server can't process the request because of an error that's caused by the client (e.g. incorrect URL syntax, invalid message framing, or deceptive request routing).
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has more information on encoding.
Clear your DNS cache, in case your computer is storing outdated DNS information.
Troubleshoot it as if it's a 504 gateway error.
*Unencoded refers to the defined meaning of the characters. For example, using / indicates a new directory (aka folder) or a file name in a URL. So https://hackathon.com/winner/pictures/teamawesome.jpg means you want to see a picture named teamawesome.jpg which is inside the directory "pictures," which itself is inside the directory "winner." If you want to use / as part of a file or folder name, it has to be encoded so the server understands you aren't indicating a new subdirectory or the start of a file name. The encoded value for / is /. If the picture was named teamawesome/dallashackathon.jpg, the URL would have to end with teamawesome/dallashackathon.jpg so the server won't think you are looking for a subdirectory named "teamawesome" with a photo named "dallashackathon.jpg " inside of it.
Probable cause: The item requested requires authentication.
If you have an account, login to the website and try again.
You can include the authentication information in a URL, but there are security concerns with exposing login information sent via an HTTP request.
Probable cause: The requested file is not available to view.
Make sure you are requesting a file and not a directory (i.e. ensure the file name extension, such as .jpg, is present).
Check with the file's owner to find out what are the requested file's permission settings.
Check with the file's owner whether the requested file has been protected.
Probable cause: The file doesn't exist.
Check for errors in the URL (i.e. a typo).
Move up one level until something loads. This may help pinpoint the location of the typo.
Reload (it may have been a temporary glitch).
The codes listed below are rare, but do occur occasionally.
Probable cause: The client didn't produce a request within the time that the server was prepared to wait.
Visit other websites to see if the same thing happens. If so, it's related to the network connection or caused by congestion.
Update the URL. This error code is used when a file has been intentionally deleted and won't be re-added.
Probable cause: A request method isn't supported for the resource requested. 405 errors most often occur with the POST method.
Not all ISPs allow the POST method necessary to process the form. Remove the POST request.
If POST is not being used, contact the website to see which methods are allowed or not allowed.
Probable cause: The client must first authenticate itself with a proxy server. Authentication may require a login, a login/password, or another form of validation.
Treat it like a 401, but with the proxy server.
For the remaining 4xx status codes listed below, contact the website* to diagnose and resolve the issue as the problem may be on their end.
*Contact information for most websites can be found by running a whois query on the site's URL.

As a retired couple (and recently without a dog) we would like to do a bit of traveling and be able to spend time caring for animals. I am a retired Medical Technologist and my husband is a retired Electrician. We have had dogs for the past 35 years and love to be around them. We have taken our animals on vacations with us but that limited where we were able to go. We would love to take care of your dog, cat or other small pets so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy at home.
As a retired couple and home owner we would like to do some traveling before we commit to getting another rescue dog. We enjoy being outdoors, cycling, kayaking, gardening and taking care of animals. We would like to see other parts of the country and this would be a perfect opportunity to experience what different areas have to offer. We understand how important it is for you to feel that your pet is safe and happy at your home while you are away.
I have pet and house sat for our neighbors, friends and a local dog rescue. We have years of experience taking care of older dogs and dogs with medical issues such as diabetes and mobility problems. Our house is in a rural area with many gardens, both ornamental and vegetable so we have many years of experience taking care of them along with the house and 5 acres of yard. I am involved with fund raising for a couple of local animal rescue groups as well as taking dogs for a walk in the park for the one group. Our biggest joy is being around animals and taking care of them.
Susan has been my next door neighbor for over 30 years. She has always had a pet / pets and always gives them the best care. Sue takes care of our pets when we are off on vacation or camping and she does the same for other neighbors. She feeds the wild birds and even the feral cats in the area. She is trustworthy and dependable. She would make a great housesitter.
I have worked with Sue for over 20 years and can attest she is responsible and dependable. She has always owned dogs and cared for them in every way. She volunteered to watch my older beagle for 3 weeks while I was out of the country even though he had serious health issues and I would not have trusted anyone else with this.
She has a true love of animals and is dedicated and caring.

Thirteen Years in New York
A few reflections on living in New York for more than thirteen years.
Cities, New York, San Francisco
New York sneaks up on you like a black bear trawling outside your tent at sunrise. As the beast paws through food and ravages the site you staged with immaculate care, you realize that this wily indomitable creature has watched you and known you all along. It is an entity that can never be crushed because another will emerge in its place.
I have now lived in New York longer than any other city. Thirteen years and three months. Which beats my previous record of thirteen years in San Francisco. Not only did the time flit by faster than I ever could have anticipated, but I still very much love this great city and continue to discover so many unanticipated contours and scintillating subcultures. The possibilities and the conversations here remain lively and are rarely dull. There are all sorts of marvelous people stubbornly eking out their dreams and, no matter how many difficulties they face — rats, a rickety traffic grid, a preposterously pompous mayor, gentrification, small-time power grabbers, and assorted human parasites — they can't be easily crushed. New Yorkers are some of the most resilient people on earth. You have to be tough in order to live here. Nearly everyone is only two paychecks away from sleeping on the streets. And you could be felled by any cosmic force at any time. This may account for why so many marriages are particularly fragile and wildly unstable despite the roseate thump of a New York Times wedding announcement etched in showy affluence and why being single here, much like Minneapolis, is often a steady stream of constantly rotating bodies so that everyone can find a quick fix to survive the natural elements. (Oh well. At least you get to hear a lot of interesting life stories just before you make the morning coffee.) A friend visiting from Europe recently asked me why I still felt some subconscious need to prove myself. I replied, "It's New York, man. If you aren't regularly leveling up here, you're doing it wrong." (In my friend's defense, it wasn't entirely New York. But you see my point.)
I'll always hold a dear place for the San Francisco that I was lucky enough to live in. I was privileged to live there in the last days of the freaks, when you could actually pay $600 each month to rent your own apartment. I love that city with all my heart. But I've been back and it ain't my town anymore. While it has retained its beauty, San Francisco has become an unaffordable monolithic playground for the rich, more so than even Manhattan. It has chewed up and spat out the weirdness that once made it a remarkable metropolis, surrendering to the lavish obscenity of vanilla techbro millionaires without a sense of history or an intuitive respect for everyday people. Still, I suspect now, with some hindsight, that San Francisco may not have been the right place for me. Or maybe it was a city that didn't push me as much as I needed it to. If San Francisco helped kick me out of suburban complacency and demanded that I start writing and make radio, it was New York that said, "Buddy, you'd better get moving or I will eat you alive." I probably needed a city to tell me this much earlier in my life, but, hey, better late than never. This city's intractable edict, which it whispers into the ear of every New Yorker, helped me to climb out of a very dark and seemingly inescapable abyss and make something of myself. It forced me to find and honor my full and true self. It demanded that I take more chances in my life and my art. It aided me in making my audio drama. New York told me that my existence and ambitions, as crazy as these both were, needed to be pursued. It told me that I needed to look out for others and make sure they were living up. It still demands that I do more — for myself and others — and, of course, I'm constantly learning and I'm regularly humbled.
I'm tremendously grateful to know so many fascinating people, to work with so many talented actors, and to continue to have so many goofy and weird adventures when I'm not toiling long hours on various creative endeavors. It's possible that I would have stumbled upon this life eventually, but cities often provide those vital murmurs that get you where you need to go. And one should never complain about late timing in life. It's a churlish pastime that often has one absorbed into some nostalgic ambuscade. Besides, there are always cosmic variables outside your control. Nevertheless, thank you, New York. And thank you to all the kind New Yorkers who kept their faith in me and saw something positive in me and called me on my bullshit and busted my chops. Without them or this city, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't be who I am today.

Swiss chard brings two textures to this yummy 20-minute pasta. The stems add crunch, while the leaves gently wilt into the white bean & tomato sauce.
It doesn't get much easier than this one. I'll admit, I often get very veggie-happy. While I don't mind chopping up a rainbow of vegetables – sometimes it's more than ok to keep it simple and let just one ingredient be the star. Last night, I chopped up this beautiful red chard and tossed it with a few simple pantry ingredients. Dinner was done in less than 20 minutes, and Jack and I were able to get right back to our House of Cards marathon. (Don't tell me what happens, we're only a few episodes in).
Chard works especially well in a 1-vegetable meal because you get two textures in one. The stems lend a nice crunch and the greens softly wilt. I sautéed the chard with canned tomatoes and some white beans that I happened to have left over in my fridge. I topped it all with a few pine nuts (although chopped walnuts would be equally delicious), and a few generous shavings of pecorino. Super simple.
This easy pasta dish comes together in just 20 minutes. Skip the cheese to make it vegan, and use gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chard stems and a pinch of salt. Give them a stir, then add the chard leaves and gently toss until they begin to wilt. Add the balsamic, tomatoes, garlic, white beans, freshly ground pepper, and toss. Once the chard is cooked down, add pasta and remove from heat. Serve with shaved pecorino cheese and pine nuts on top.
You always make food seem so simple, fresh and satisfying. Love it!
it really is so very important that meal prep doesn't cut into netflix binge watching time! this looks delicious and it's been a while since i've had chard. i just might have to work this into the rotation this week!
Did you miss out the white beans in the ingredient list? This can also be done with kale, beet greens?
thanks! Just fixed that… Yep, you can make this with kale or other greens. If you include chopped kale stems, I'd cook them a little longer than chard stems.
Oh this is just beautiful! Swiss chard is really under utilized! I love the balsamic here, have you tried raspberry balsamic with greens – it's heavenly! Pinning!
I'm not sure if it's the PNW but I haven't seen Chard in the store for years!
This looks so delicious; perfect for these winter/spring/in between months. And I absolutely love that you used fire-roasted tomatoes. So simple, but so smart.
Looking at this dish makes me smile. 2 words came to mind, comfort and colorful, not to mention easy!
Simple dinners that also double as healthy AND delicious are without a doubt, the best.
This looks so simple and tasty! The next time I get Swiss chard from my farm share, I will definitely try this, post and rate. I love how you incorporated the beautiful stems – eating colorful plants is so healthy for us! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks so delicious! I will have to give it a try!
I think this looks delicious, but I have a weird textural aversion to any type of tomatoes except sundried. Is there any particular ingredient you would suggest to substitute for the tomatoes, or would you just recommend leaving them out?
Yes! This is exactly the kind of dinner I make when I'm short on time and long on hunger. Pasta, greens, and cheese = hooray!
This is just about the most perfect pasta dish I can think of. I like the less is more approach, definitely pays off! This is going on my to-made list!
Delicious! I love your plate by the way ;)!
This looks refreshing! Love the chard!
Or put over quinoa! Yum. Organic swiss chard is all over my Whole Foods now. Thanks for the recipe.
What a beautiful pasta recipe. I want to try this! I need new ways to use swiss chard.
the garden. Tasty way to spot light this wonderful veggie.
Thanks for the recipe! It's really hard to find a decent one for swiss chard. If I don't have beans on hand (and it would take too long to cook at this point, I'm starving!), what would you recommend to add to the recipe instead of them?
Hi Margaret – I would just skip them! I just happened to have some leftover which is the only reason I got the idea to include them.
Made this for dinner tonight. Came together quickly and was delicious and beautiful!
I love how simple and straightforward this is! I've been excitedly keeping an eye out for swiss chard in the markets but haven't found it quite yet- can't wait!
I love this recipes , it looks delicious . It will be so helpful in my meal planning . Thanks for this amazing healthy recipes.
Thanks for this! I added a little goat cheese at the end to make the sauce a bit creamier for my husband, and it was amazing!
Love goat cheese… What a great idea. I'm harvesting the largest rainbow chard leaves I've ever grown and having a craving for pasta so this comes at a good time…Do you add a bit of the pasta water to the sauce?
Hi Louise, I don't because the greens release a bit of water (and I don't want it too watery). If you wanted to reserve some pasta water just in case – you could.
What a beautiful pasta dish.
This turned out wonderful! My meat eaters enjoyed, and finished the entire meal.
No leftovers! Wow a first for a vegetarian dish for me.
Wow! I was just trying to figure our what to do with some fresh chard. Googled and came to your recipe. I had all of the ingredients. Now this might be in the regular rotation. Thank you!
Hi Lauren, I'm so glad you loved it!
